Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 81 Reusing the Puppet Army
"How to solve this problem? After several days of fighting, what do you think!" Wang Ping asked after glancing at his subordinates.

The meeting room immediately became lively. Some people said to ask their superiors for help, some said to promote new recruits who performed well on the battlefield, and some said to train them by themselves and fight a few more battles, and the problems of grassroots cadres would be solved.

Wang Ping quickly stopped everyone who was about to continue talking.

"I'll go back and talk to the superiors, but don't get your hopes up too much. After all, there are only so many old Reds in the first division, and everyone is needed!"

"Second, you can promote new recruits who perform well on the battlefield, but those recruits who are promoted must be truly capable. Otherwise, let them become squad leaders. On the battlefield, the lives of more than a dozen comrades in a squad may be because of buried him."

"The third method, self-cultivation, is very feasible, but there is also a problem, that is, we don't have time. The army will be reorganized soon, and there may be combat missions at any time. How can we have time to train grassroots cadres!"

"Then what should we do? Don't tell me the troops won't be reorganized!" Zhang Qing, the company commander, asked anxiously.

You know, since the attack on Laiyuan, they have won consecutive battles.least.The reason for this is that Lian was the main force in the two battles in Shuiquan Village, but the troops suffered too many casualties, and then he was left in Shuiquan Village.

The grass-roots cadres that Wang Ping mentioned are the ones that are most in short supply, so he couldn't help being in a hurry.

The second company commander Zhang Yunshan had a thoughtful expression, as if he had thought of something, and then asked Zhang Qing: "Don't worry, since the battalion commander raised this problem, there must be a solution!"

"Not bad!" Wang Ping affirmed readily.

"Company Commander Zhang, do you still remember the platoon leader I appointed directly at the Guanliang stronghold! That's for you, and I plan to make him a deputy company commander. When the opportunity arises, I will directly promote him to be the company commander!"

"Yang Xiong!" Zhang Yunshan blurted out immediately.

Then he suddenly realized: "I understand, Battalion Commander, what you mean is to select grassroots cadres from the puppet army!"

As soon as Zhang Yunshan finished speaking, several instructors raised their concerns.

One is that these people have all been puppet soldiers, so don't worry.Another thing is that they used to be the Jinsui army. Would it be dangerous to let them be cadres!
At this time, it was the turn of the trainer Cheng Xiao to play.

"The comrades' worries are not unreasonable, but what I want to say is that they were basically forced to be puppet soldiers. When we agreed to allow them to join the Eighth Route Army, we have already reviewed them. They have not done any evil when they are puppet soldiers. matter. So, don’t worry about this aspect!”

"As for their former identities in the Jinsui Army, I don't deny it. But everyone, don't forget that a large proportion of our old Red Army used to work in the Guoming Party. Some of them became senior cadres of the Party and the Red Army!"

"At that time, our Red Army was so difficult that we were able to change their minds. What's more, we are all fighting devils now!"

"Speaking of which, I also want to give you three instructors a task. After these puppet troops are added to the army, within half a year, each company must ensure that ten former puppet troops become party members and twenty become reserve party members. A puppet army who was directly promoted to a cadre!"

"What's more, what I want is members who sincerely join our party, not those who cheat. If I can find out who is cheating, then I'm sorry, our Eighth Route Army also has military laws and party discipline!"

It was the first time to see Cheng Xiao's stern side, and everyone in the meeting room was shocked.Because, Cheng Xiao usually shows everyone a smiley expression.

Wang Ping was also frightened. Seeing that the atmosphere in the conference room quickly became depressing, Wang Ping quickly added: "The trainer has set you high goals, but you don't have to worry too much. I prepared some for you with the trainer. Things should be useful for you to educate those puppet troops who joined our independent battalion!"

"Okay, so much foreshadowing has been done before, and the next thing I want to talk about is the main point."

"According to statistics, among the captives who are willing to join our independent battalion, more than 180 are veterans who have served in the army for more than one year, and they have fought against the devils several times. In terms of combat experience, they are no worse than us! "

"Among them, more than 30 have experience as squad leaders, six have experience as platoon leaders, and two have been company officers, and one of them is Yang Xiong!"

"There are so many experienced veterans and low-level officers. As long as we make good use of them, I am sure that the combat effectiveness of our independent battalion will be greatly improved!"

"I know so many purposes, tell everyone, our independent battalion will reuse the battlefield anyway, or the surrendered puppet army!"

"In addition, there is another benefit for us to reuse the puppet army: everyone, don't forget that there are still more than 1000 puppet troops in Laiyuan, most of whom were forced to become puppet troops. As long as we don't blame them for the past and The news that they are still being reused will definitely cause a big commotion. When they actually meet them on the battlefield, they will definitely not consider surrendering to us, or the battlefield anyway!"

"So many benefits, do you think we should reuse them!"

"Should!" Second company commander Zhang Yunshan was the first to stand up and support.

"Others don't know, but I have personally contacted Yang Xiong, and I have been in the second company these days. It's not that I demean myself. This Yang Xiong is better than me in many aspects. Even if you don't mention it as the battalion commander, let him serve as the second company Deputy company commander, I will also propose to the battalion. With the help of deputy company commander Yang Xiong, I am sure that the combat effectiveness of the second company will get better and better?"

Zhang Qing quickly interjected: "Then the remaining company-level officer is mine, and none of you can snatch it from me. The company has suffered the most casualties, and we urgently need such capable commanders to strengthen our combat effectiveness!"

Wang Ping was very satisfied with everyone's reaction, and then continued?

"With these puppet officers, there will be more than enough grassroots cadres in my independent battalion. According to the establishment of the independent battalion, many people have no place. The conventional method is to downgrade and let them start as soldiers, but this is too wasteful of talents. "

"I discussed with the instructor and Deputy Battalion Commander Zeng, and decided to assign deputies to all grassroots officers. Each squad has one deputy squad leader, each platoon has two deputy platoon leaders, and each company has two deputy company commanders. Deputy instructor. As for the battalion headquarters, we will add a deputy battalion commander and two assistant instructors!"

"The reason for doing this is not to share the total annihilation in everyone's hands, but to expand the independent battalion in the future! Think about it, with a deputy, you can be directly promoted to a full-time post when the army expands in the future, no matter how independent the battalion is. With expansion, there will be no shortage of grassroots cadres.”
