Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 265 Wang Ping's method (third update!)

"Head, is there any question?" Cheng Xiao asked with a look of incomprehension.

Wang Ping frowned and asked back: "There must be a problem, political commissar, let me ask you, how many people are there in Laiyuan?"

"About 12 people!" Cheng Xiao replied without thinking.

Wang Ping immediately analyzed: "Out of the 12 people, excluding women, children, and the elderly, there are less than 1 and less than 2 young and strong who can serve as soldiers. Whether the common people have food to eat during the autumn harvest depends entirely on them."

"Since my independent regiment entered Laiyuan, there must have been more than 2000 local recruits recruited successively. This time, there were more than 1000 recruits, adding up to a total of 4000. More than 1 young and strong people removed more than 4000 at once. It will definitely have a great impact on the production of Laiyuan. Now more than 6000 guerrillas have come out all of a sudden, which is a good thing for our independent regiment, but it is a bad thing for the 10,000+ people in Laiyuan. They all joined the guerrillas , who will plant the land to support the family!"

Seeing that Cheng Xiao subconsciously wanted to refute, Wang Ping quickly interrupted: "Political Commissar, I know you want to say that the guerrillas are anti-Japanese armed forces that do not leave production. Life is affected by recycling!"

"Also, when we were in the Red Army, we provided certain subsidies to the guerrillas every year. Whether it was food or tax cuts, it made everyone feel that joining the guerrillas was a proud thing that could bring benefits to their families. Only In this way, everyone’s enthusiasm for joining the guerrillas can be maintained.”

"Now that there are more than 6000 guerrillas, can we afford this subsidy?"

Cheng Xiao stopped talking, and frowned for a minute before replying: "You are right, commander, more than 1 guerrillas are indeed too many. I don't know what you think?"

Wang Ping immediately expressed his thoughts: "The garrison battalion was reorganized into the Laiyuan County Brigade, with three infantry companies and one firepower company under its jurisdiction, and the strength of each company was controlled within 100 men."

"With the county seat as the center, the four directions are divided into four districts, and a district squadron is established in each district. The strength is controlled within 100 people and equipped with two machine guns!"

"Each district is divided into several smaller districts, with a population of no more than 1 people, and a district team with a total strength of 31 people!"

"County Brigade, District Squadron, and District Squad are full-time local troops, and supplies are provided by the base!"

"The rest is the militia. My requirement is that in smaller villages, the size of the guerrilla unit should not exceed one squad, and in larger villages, the size of the guerrilla unit should not exceed one platoon. Do farm work during farming hours and train in leisure time, but patrol and guard There is no distinction between farming time and leisure time.”

"As for the subsidy of the guerrillas, my principle is that it should not be too low. This will also help attract more people to join the guerrillas, and at the same time increase the enthusiasm of the guerrillas for training and patrolling!"

"After the establishment of guerrillas and local troops, the guerrillas will provide supplementary troops to the local troops, and the local troops will deploy excellent cadres and soldiers to provide supplementary troops to the main force."

"That's a good idea!" Cheng Xiao interrupted suddenly.

"In the future, regardless of whether it is the main force or the local troops, the combat effectiveness will not be affected by the battle damage! Commander, I completely agree, and I have to report this idea to the military division, and try to promote it in the entire military region!"

"Also, if the guerrillas are formed according to this organization and scale, the number of guerrillas can be directly reduced to 2000 people. Including the local troops and the main force, there are more than 5000 anti-Japanese armed forces in Laiyuan."

"Then do it! The political commissar and Director Deng should discuss how to divide the area. You have local work experience, so you should be familiar with these tasks!" Wang Ping made a decision directly.

The commander of the military division headquarters just read the telegram sent by Cheng Xiao.

At first he didn’t understand, then he thought about it, and finally he was pleasantly surprised. He put the telegram on the table and asked: “Chief of Staff, have the county brigades of the counties we belong to have been established! There are also guerrillas, Does the headquarters know their specific size!"

The chief of staff nodded first, then shook his head, and finally replied: "The county brigade has been established. There are four county brigades in total, all of which are battalion-sized, ranging from 200 to 500 people. As for the district squadrons and district teams, There are also guerrillas in various villages, because they were all formed by the local anti-Japanese government, and the military region does not know the specific situation!"

"Then call clear comrades over!" The commander ordered directly.

Then he stared at the chief of staff and continued to ask: "If I remember correctly, the recruits recruited by the three main regiments of the military division are basically directly recruited locally, and the troops are added after one to three months of recruit training. "

"Yes, Commander! The three main regiments have their own recruit companies, which specialize in training recruits to supplement the main force's usual losses!" the chief of staff affirmed.

The commander frowned, and continued to ask: "Then why don't you follow the method in the telegram of the Independent Regiment to supplement the recruits? The soldiers of the local troops have all been trained, and have fought in battles, and have combat experience. After replenishing the main force, they can immediately join Fighting is definitely better than the recruits they trained themselves!"

Xiong Botao smiled bitterly and said, "Commander, the heads of the soldiers of the local army have been eyeing them for a long time, and they have reported to the division more than once, intending to recruit people from the county brigade to directly replenish the army. However, the county brigade disagreed, and the local government I don't agree either!"

"The county brigade was established by the local government itself, and many of its commanders were concurrently served by local cadres. If the veterans and elites were taken away, these troops would lose their combat effectiveness, and the county brigade would not be able to maintain local law and order and eliminate minorities. Share the Japanese puppet army and traitors, and protect the safety of the people!"

"Nonsense, they are messing around with a small mountain, regardless of the overall situation!" The commander cursed mercilessly.

"They also don't want to think about it. If the combat effectiveness of the main force is affected, if there is no main force to contain the main force of the Japanese puppet army, with the strength of the county brigade, can the people be protected? It's just nonsense, and there is no big picture!"

The chief of staff quickly reminded: "Commander, don't talk nonsense, they also follow the rules. They are not troops, they have their own rules!"

"I also know the benefits of the independent regiment's proposal, but if you want to promote it in the entire military division, you must get the support of the headquarters and Commander Nie!"

"Then send a telegram to the military region! This matter is of great benefit to us, and it must be promoted!" The commander directly decided.

Then he continued to order: "Aren't the first regiment and the second regiment expanding the base area? Forward this telegram to the two regiment leaders, and let the two regiments fight according to the content of the telegram!"

"Also, I want to know how the two regiments are doing now!"

"Very good!" Xiong Botao replied immediately.

"The first regiment has expanded to 500 people, the second regiment has expanded to 4000 people, and the third regiment in the defensive base area has also expanded to 500 people!"

"In addition, the weapons and ammunition sent by the independent regiment have also arrived at the headquarters."

"The weapons and ammunition we seized from Laiyuan City have also been sent back to the headquarters one after another. This is quite a lot. Except for the small number of light and heavy machine guns, the remaining rifles are enough for us to form five regiments. Especially Wang Ping The ones sent up are all three-eighth big ones and the official ones, a total of [-] pieces!"
