Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 349 Refuting the Commander (Part [-])
At the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, the chief of staff happily walked to the deputy commander-in-chief with a telegram.

"Boss, after reading this telegram, you want to treat me to a good meal!" The chief of staff raised the telegram in his hand and said to the deputy commander.

The deputy commander showed a bewildered expression on his face, but he still took the telegram and began to browse.

Soon, the deputy commander's face became serious, and finally, there was even a shocked expression on his face.

After reading the telegram, he fell into deep thought without saying a word.It took a full minute before he replied to the chief of staff: "Okay, I invite you for this meal. Although I have never seen Wang Ping, the content of this telegram proved to me once again that this Wang Ping is indeed a talent. It is very suitable to be the director of the arsenal factory with Lao Nie!"

The always serious and upright deputy commander actually admitted his mistake to himself because of a telegram, which shows how shocking this telegram really was to him!
The chief of staff also turned serious, "What do you think of this telegram, boss!"

"I fully support it, but some details still need to be considered. For example, who will give those professors grades, and, after having a grade, if this person changes and becomes useless in the future, can his grade be lowered! But in any case, there is no problem with the content of the telegram as a whole, and I completely agree!"

"I agree too!" the chief of staff affirmed.

"There are various reasons why we can't develop in many aspects. But a very important factor is the lack of talents. Whether it's local or military, many cadres don't know the words, which is definitely a shortcoming for us!"

"Our Eighth Route Army is poor, and it is impossible to spend a large amount of money to recruit talents like Lao Jiang. However, this proposal by Wang Ping and Lao Nie directly solved this problem. Through political treatment, the status of intellectuals was improved, thereby attracting them. Our Eighth Route Army can also attract more young people to learn culture and technology!"

The deputy commander-in-chief didn't talk nonsense, and directly ordered: "Then send a telegram to Yan'an. We fully agree with Lao Nie and Wang Ping's proposal, but we need to consider the details. It is recommended that Yan'an form a decree and implement it by the entire army!" Ping never thought that a proposal of his would cause such a big disturbance in the Eighth Route Army headquarters and Yan'an.

After the telegram was sent, Commander Nie did not let Wang Ping go, but asked the staff to find a map and spread it in front of Wang Ping.

"This is the distribution map of all the large and small coal mines and iron mines controlled by the devils in the base area!" Because Wang Ping had studied this map before attacking the Guangtouling Coal Mine, Wang Ping could see it at a glance.

"Not bad!" Commander Nie affirmed.

"One bald mountain coal mine devil has hoarded so many good things. If the thirty or forty coal mines in the entire base area are all added up, the explosives and equipment are not countless. I have an idea, since the arsenal lacks equipment, then we will take These coal mines and iron mines will start a big attack on the devils. However, the target of this attack is not the roads and railways, but the devils' coal mines and iron mines!"

"In the last anti-encirclement and suppression campaign, although the military region lost a lot of money, they captured a lot because they fought all battles of annihilation. The number of new recruits formed by each military division is almost 2. With so many recruits, there is an urgent need for battlefields to train troops. , and large-scale raids are the best way to train troops!"

"It can not only train soldiers, but also destroy the resource supply of the devils, and it can also seize a large amount of materials and equipment to build an arsenal. It can do multiple things in one fell swoop."

"You just took down a medium-sized coal mine in Devils. If you have experience, tell me what you think!"

Launching a large-scale sabotage campaign is such a big thing that even Commander Yang of the military division is not qualified to evaluate it, let alone a small regiment-level cadre himself.

So, facing Commander Nie's gaze looking at him, the always decisive Wang Ping hesitated!
Commander Nie clearly saw Wang Ping's worry: "Don't be shy, just say what you have? This is just my idea, and your opinion is just a reference!"

"Yes, chief!" Wang Ping replied with a nod, and then his mind began to work quickly.

Finally, he plucked up the courage to object: "Chief, if it were me, I would not agree to launch a large-scale sabotage campaign against the Japanese and puppet troops!"

Commander Nie frowned, but soon relaxed.Then he stared at Wang Ping and asked, "Tell me your reason!"

Wang Ping thought of the advantages and disadvantages brought to the Eighth Route Army after launching the Hundred Regiments War in front of the Eighth Route Army. After sorting out the confused thoughts in his mind, he replied: "It is undeniable that the three advantages you just mentioned are obvious, chief." .But the harm that a large-scale sabotage war may bring to us, I don’t know if you have considered the chief.”

"The Bald Ridge Coal Mine is only a medium-sized coal mine. Although I took it with very few casualties. But we used a trick and took advantage of the opportunity of the devils to go out to raid. After entering the coal mine, we saw the fortifications and I am sure that if you attack directly, even if you have artillery, you will have to pay at least two companies of casualties to win it!"

"Impossible! According to intelligence, there are not many Japanese troops protecting these mines. Most of them are the mine guards and the Imperial Army recruited by the devil mine owners themselves! They really have such a strong fighting power!" Commander Nie said nothing. The chief of staff next to him asked back with a look of disbelief.

"Sir, don't underestimate these mine guards!" Wang Ping's face suddenly became serious.

"By fighting the Bald Ridge Coal Mine, I'm sure that the fighting power of the devil's mine protection team is not inferior to their army, and even a little stronger."

"According to the confession of the captive Imperial Association Army, the mine guard team is composed of veterans who have retired from the devils. They kill people without blinking an eye, and they are very ruthless. As for the combat experience, it goes without saying. They are very tough, not at all compared to the veterans in the devil's army. It's bad!"

"Also, the equipment of the mine guard team is very good!"

"The devil's mine protection team at the Bald Ridge Coal Mine is about a small team, because the mine protection team is the private arm of the mine owner, and the mine owner is very rich. In order to protect his own financial resources, he bought a lot of ordinary Japanese soldiers for the mine protection team. Light and heavy weapons that are rarely equipped."

"For example, in the mine protection team of Guangtouling Coal Mine, more than 60 devils are equipped with more than 40 [-] large caps, four machine guns, two heavy machine guns, and two grenades. As for ammunition, there are more , A small ammunition depot was built directly in the mine, with more than [-] rounds of various bullets!"

"As long as they are given strong enough fortifications and terrain, and with sufficient supplies and ammunition reserves, they can easily hold out for four or five days."

The chief of staff asked back with a serious face: "Wang Ping, what you just said is true!"

"I'm sure, and there's evidence. According to the statement of the Imperial Association Army, the iron mine protection teams are better equipped than the coal mines. They are also equipped with heavy weapons such as mortars, and some iron mines have even built machine gun bunkers!" Wang Ping Very serious answer.

"Get out! This is not fat, it's all hedgehogs!" Commander Nie, who was rarely angry, suddenly cursed angrily.

Then he gave an order to the chief of staff: "The intelligence department needs to review, but such important information has not been found out. If Wang Ping hadn't reminded us to attack rashly, the loss of the troops would definitely exceed our imagination!"

"Please don't worry, Commander. I will instruct the intelligence department to find out the situation after I go down!" The chief of staff replied with a serious face.

Commander Nie nodded, looked at Wang Ping with admiration, and continued to ask.

"Besides this, is there any other reason!"
