Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 831 Do not trade at a loss (third update!)

In the small conference room, more than 20 officers, large and small, were seated on both sides of Major General Kawaguchi according to their positions.

Seeing the subordinates sitting in front of them, waiting for him to speak, Major General Kawaguchi felt proud for the first time after serving as the head of the brigade.

He was not polite, and said straight to the point: "Garrison, I believe everyone should have heard about the battle last night!"

"A transport team from the New First Regiment passed through our defense area, and finally occupied the Hongcun stronghold, and entered their base from the Hongcun stronghold!"

"I don't care about this convoy. However, what I care about is the materials that this convoy delivers to the new regiment! Chief of Staff, please come and inform everyone that this convoy will deliver to our old opponent, the new regiment. How many supplies have been sent by the regiment!"

The chief of staff sitting on the right stood up quickly.

As for the newly appointed brigade commander, I didn't understand him at all.For the chief of staff, this is very dangerous.

Now, in order to find out the situation in Linfen, he might allow himself to stay in this position.Once one day I was useless to him, and I didn't get his approval.The chief of staff was sure that Major General Kawaguchi would kick him out without hesitation and replace him with his own people.

Therefore, since Major General Kawaguchi entered Linfen City, the Chief of Staff has been very cautious, full of scruples, fearing that something will offend him!
Seeing that Major General Kawaguchi was staring at him like everyone else, the chief of staff quickly introduced: "Our intelligence personnel who entered the World War II zone reported that this batch of equipment was assigned to the new regiment by the World War II zone. Not even a single bullet was skimped!"

"In addition to weapons and ammunition, the Xinyi Regiment also used the imperial army's command sword captured on the battlefield to exchange a lot of medicine and gold in the World War II zone!"

Major General Kawaguchi suddenly interrupted: "Have you heard it all! Weapons, ammunition, gold, medicine...these are the materials that the Eighth Route Army urgently needs!"

"Now, this batch of materials has entered their base area. With the speed of the Eighth Route Army's expansion of troops, and with gold and equipment, we will have another reinforced enemy in Linfen within a month at most!"

"In order to prevent this from happening, and to carry out the orders of the Front Army, we will take back Xiangfen from the Xinyi Regiment as soon as possible, and wash away the shame that the Xinyi Regiment brought to the imperial army. I decided to dispatch heavy troops to attack Xiangfen County in ten days' time. !"

Major General Kawaguchi's decision was so sudden that even the chief of staff next to him didn't know, showing a shocked expression!
Before the chief of staff could speak, a lieutenant stood up and objected: "General, isn't ten days too short?"

"Over [-]% of the low-ranking troops are recruits recruited just over half a month ago. Although they have gone through a long period of recruit training, they are still far from being able to truly form combat effectiveness. I am worried about the troops' ability to attack in a hurry. Too many casualties!"

Immediately afterwards, several major and lieutenant officers stood up to express their opposition.

Kawaguchi took a look and found that these people were the original captains of the Independent Brigade.Because of the large number of recruits in the army, and the fact that they had been frightened by the Xinyi regiment for a year, they had a lot of scruples, and then they stood up and collectively opposed such a hasty dispatch of troops.

As for the subordinates he brought over from the front line, everyone looked eager to try.

In their view, the main force of the Shanxi-Sui Army on the front line was treated like a tortoise by them, not to mention the Eighth Route Army, which was not even fully equipped.

Some of his subordinates were arrogant and underestimated the enemy, while some were fearful of the enemy. Facing the two diametrically opposed situations, Major General Kawaguchi's face was very ugly.

After hesitating for a while, he asked, "All recruit brigades, each of my brigades will exchange a squadron from the field main force for you to mix with the recruits. Can you guarantee that the troops will have combat effectiveness within ten days!"

Major General Kawaguchi's words undoubtedly tell everyone that the time to attack the Eighth Route Army's base in ten days and retake Xiangfen County remains unchanged.

Since everyone has a problem that cannot be solved, then help solve it yourself.

The captain of the Lieutenant Commander, who took the lead in objecting just now, hesitated and replied: "Yes!"

"Then it's decided... Chief of Staff, you come to formulate a replacement plan, and send the veterans to them within a day. As for how they plan to use these veterans, they decide by themselves. However, after ten days, the troops must form combat effectiveness. Join the battle!"

"Also, the staff department will immediately formulate a battle opportunity. The troops I brought back from the front will be responsible for the main attack, and I will hand it over to me within five days!"

At three o'clock in the morning that night, Wang Ping led his troops into the base area through a path.

At this time, Wang Ping didn't know that the Japanese and puppet troops in Linfen City would attack heavily in ten days, but reported to the military region and headquarters that he had safely returned to the base area!

"Political commissar, except for grenades and pistols, I plan to send all the weapons and ammunition of a regiment to the military region. Our new regiment uses all the equipment of the little devils, and the war zone gives us domestically produced ones. If they are mixed together, it will be too much." It’s troublesome, and it will cause a lot of pressure on the logistics and ammunition supply, what do you think!” Seeing the shocked face of the political commissar holding the equipment list, Wang Ping directly expressed his thoughts without reacting for a long time.

Huang Yuanqiang was stunned for a moment, and then showed an expression of disbelief to Wang Ping.

Because he had never seen Wang Ping so generous.But he quickly reacted and replied immediately: "Yes, I completely agree. The first battalion seized a lot of equipment yesterday. Our new regiment has no shortage of equipment. Instead of leaving it in the warehouse to rust, it is better to send it to the military area. Other troops go kill the devils!"

But soon he came to his senses, stared at Wang Ping and asked, "No, leader, I know you well, you never trade at a loss!"

"Give the equipment and ammunition to the military region enough to form two regiments at once. There must be some purpose!"

Wang Ping admitted frankly: "It's still the political commissar, you know me, and you do have a purpose!"

"In addition to the equipment, didn't I also bring back the equipment of a cavalry battalion? The military district knows it, and it will definitely let us hand it over. Our cavalry battalion is only one company short of full staff, so I only plan to hand over two hundred horses and supporting equipment. Equipment, leave all the rest!"

"As for how to ask us for this batch of equipment and war horses in the theater, it has nothing to do with our new regiment, let the commander solve it!"

Huang Yuanqiang knew all about Wang Ping's troubles in the World War II zone this time. As a partner, Huang Yuanqiang definitely didn't want Wang Ping to be punished for these things, so he answered without thinking.

"I agree, as long as you don't bear the punishment, it's fine to send all the equipment of the entire cavalry battalion up!"

Wang Ping then added: "Political Commissar, I haven't finished yet! Don't worry, this time, I will definitely not punish you."

"In addition to weapons and ammunition, I also brought back a batch of supplies that even the head of the headquarters would envy!"

"Remember those command knives I brought to the World War II zone? There wasn't a single one left, they were all sold, and they were traded for gold and medicine."

"These are urgently needed by our Eighth Route Army. The reason why I made such a big commotion is to keep these gold and medicines. I am sure that as long as I turn in these things, the headquarters will not only not punish me, but also make meritorious service to me." Awarded!"

"Of course, I don't want awards for meritorious service, but I must keep some of the medicines I brought back!"

"There is no need for gold, the headquarters and Yan'an need it more. However, we have to keep some in Dayang!"

After finishing speaking, Wang Ping took out another list with body temperature and handed it to the political commissar!
