Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 63
After taking down the Japanese and puppet stronghold in Shuiquan Village, Cheng Xiao, the instructor who educated the captives, and Wang Ping, who laid the ambush in the front, arrived here almost at the same time.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Wang Ping directly decided to temporarily station the Independent Battalion in the former Japanese and puppet stronghold in Shuiquan Village.

It used to be the office of the Japanese squad leader, but now it has become the headquarters of the independent battalion.

Wang Ping sat in the position that should have belonged to the Japanese squad leader. Instructor Cheng Xiao, deputy battalion commander Zeng Quan, and several company platoon leaders sat around the impromptu table in front of Wang Ping.

Although no one spoke, it can be seen from the smiles on everyone's faces that everyone sitting here is very happy at this moment.

After all, the Independent Battalion just won a battle, and it was a big victory!

Under Wang Ping's signal, Cheng Xiao first stood up and said: "Battle Commander, and comrades, let me first talk about my achievements. There are 58 captives in total, and after screening and mobilization, 46 of them are willing to join our Eighth Route Army!"

"According to the statistics, these people are all veterans who have served in the army for at least one year. They were forced to follow the commander as prisoners. They have no other problems and can fight after joining the army. What I mean is, arrange them into the army as soon as possible!"

"Yes!" Wang Ping agreed after thinking about it.

In Wang Ping's view, these former Jinsui Army and Central Army, as long as they are used well, they are treasures.

These people played a big role in the rapid development of the Eighth Route Army in the early stage of the War of Resistance.

Of course, these people are from the Jinsui Army after all. If they can't integrate into the Eighth Route Army as soon as possible, then they will definitely form a group.But the most taboo of the Eighth Route Army is the army's group formation and hilltopism.

Therefore, as soon as the words were spoken, Wang Ping added: "But these people must be dispersed. Three companies will be divided into fifteen companies, and the extra one will be given to the artillery platoon. They must not be allowed to form a group and appear on the top of the mountain!"

Cheng Xiao was an old political worker, and he could see Wang Ping's worry at a glance, and immediately said, "Don't worry, Battalion Commander, I will explain to the next three instructors!"

Wang Ping nodded, and then asked Zeng Quan: "Old Zeng, tell me about your gains!"

"24 devils and 21 puppet troops were all wiped out. Among them, five puppet troops surrendered. There were not many weapons seized, but there was one heavy machine gun that was intact, and [-] intact [-] large caps!" Zeng Quan answered with a humble face!
"However, there are quite a few other seizures. After all, this group of Japanese and puppet troops has been operating here for a month. Among other things, there are 1358 silver dollars alone, and there are 16 small yellow croakers, and a batch of various gold and silver jewelry. , I have had people seal them all up!"

"There are also a lot of other supplies, especially the canned food that comes standard with the devil's field troops. There are more than 23 boxes of 600 boxes. I only found out after asking that the Japanese and puppet troops have been robbing beef and mutton for more than a month. Laiyuan The cans sent from the city have hardly been touched. In addition, there are more than 2000 catties of white flour, enough for our independent camp to eat for ten days!"

"The harvest is not bad!" Wang Ping nodded very satisfied, and then ordered to Cheng Xiao: "Old Cheng, you are in charge of all the confiscation, white flour and canned food, comrades can eat as much as they can. As for gold and silver, except Take out some silver dollars to recruit soldiers, and seal up all the rest, and hand them over to the military division in the future!"

Cheng Xiao was undoubtedly the happiest. As an instructor, it was his duty to recruit soldiers.

But if you don't have money in hand, you can't even afford the minimum settling allowance.Even if the people here believe in the Eighth Route Army, few are really willing to join the Eighth Route Army.

But having money is different. Even if a recruit only counts two yuan for settling expenses, for ordinary people, if two yuan is used to buy food, it is enough to feed the family for several months.This made everyone more motivated to join the Eighth Route Army, and it also reduced everyone's worries about their families.

Therefore, Cheng Xiao directly replied excitedly: "We have won the battle, and now we have military expenses. I promise to recruit enough recruits for our independent battalion in the shortest possible time!"

Wang Ping immediately interjected: "Old Cheng, what I want is your words! Next, I will ask Zhang Yunshan to report the results of the ambush battle."

For soldiers, equipment is their second life.

Therefore, as soon as Wang Ping finished speaking, everyone kept their ears open and waited for Zhang Yunshan's report.

Covering the previous gains, Wang Ping's gains in the ambush battlefield must be the greatest. As soon as Zhang Yunshan finished speaking, the small battalion headquarters became lively.In particular, several company platoon leaders clamored for Wang Ping to make up all the equipment they lacked.

"Okay, the equipment will be replenished for you, and nothing will be missing!" Wang Ping interrupted suddenly!

"Including the [-] people the trainer is planning to add to you, each company can be fully staffed with a main platoon, a guard squad, a grenadier squad, and a heavy machine gun squad. According to my original promise, there are four The crooked handle, the three-door grenade, now I will make up for you all, and the missing three-eighth cover will also be replenished for you! However, I also have requirements. With equipment and people, you must train me well , Train your troops well and prepare for the next battle at any time!"

"As for the heavy machine gun squad, the first company and the second company will have one for each company, and then they will be equipped with the third company when they are captured, and each heavy machine gun squad must have two machine guns!"

"The extra crooked handle is temporarily equipped with the guard platoon!"

"That's all. As for the remaining rifles, they are all handed over to the trainers. After the recruits are recruited, they are temporarily trained for the recruits. It is still the old rule that each recruit has [-] rounds of live ammunition, so that they can form combat effectiveness as soon as possible. Replenish the troops. Then There is still a big battle waiting for us!"

When war is mentioned, the eyes of the people below are bright.

After all, the Independent Battalion has never lost a battle with Wang Ping, and in every battle, the loss is small and the capture is big!

Wang Ping didn't explain to everyone, he waved his hand to signal everyone to leave, and then he focused his attention on the map of Laiyuan County that the little devil had just seized!
Cheng Xiao didn't leave, but frowned and asked back: "Battle Commander, the big battle you said should be the revenge of the devils in Laiyuan City!"

Seeing that Wang Ping nodded acquiescingly, Cheng Ji said: "We have eaten up one of their squadrons in a short period of time. This matter must not be hidden from the devils in the city. If they want to go out of the city to take revenge on us, they must send at least one infantry soldier." Brigade!"

"With our current strength, we are definitely not an opponent of the devil's infantry brigade. If the devil really goes out of the city to retaliate against us, should I contact our independent battalion or temporarily withdraw to the base!"

After listening to the analysis, Wang Ping frowned subconsciously.But not long after, a pair of eyes shot out two bright lights, and then he shook his head and answered.

"No, the devil can't mobilize so many people!"
