Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 86 Expansion of the Independent Regiment?
Yes, that is satisfaction.

They are not only satisfied with Wang Ping's answer, but also satisfied with Wang Ping's vision and courage.

Before Yang Chengwu had time to speak, the chief of staff who had been frowning next to him showed an expression of sudden realization, and then said excitedly, "Commander, Wang Ping's idea is really feasible!"

"According to intelligence, the supplementary soldiers that the devils are going to send over are still in Tianjin, which means that it will take at least a month for the brigade of the Laiyuan Japanese Army to form combat effectiveness. If the independent battalion can really make good use of this month, then fight After a few victories, eat more Japanese veterans. Even if those supplementary soldiers arrive in Laiyuan, the Japanese army will take longer to form combat power due to the shortage of veterans!"

"At that time, the independent battalion can still take advantage of the fact that the Japanese army has not formed a combat capability and continue to attack, leaving Laiyuan in a situation where there are fighting everywhere and the Eighth Route Army is everywhere. In this way, the Japanese army's delay will change from encircling and suppressing the independent battalion. into a stable place!"

"Of course, there is a prerequisite for this. The independent battalion will use this period of time to continuously attack. While killing and injuring a large number of devils, its own strength must also continue to expand. Only with enough troops, the independent battalion can make Laiyuan bloom everywhere, and there are wars everywhere. Let the devils take care of the head and tail, and have no energy to encircle and suppress the independent camp!"

Chief of Staff Xiong Botao's analysis gave Wang Ping a sense of enlightenment.Although he thought that this one month or so was the only chance for the independent battalion to gain a firm foothold in Laiyuan, but in such a short period of time, it was impossible for him to think how the independent battalion could use this time to gain a firm foothold.

Therefore, the chief of staff's words were like enlightenment, which made his thoughts expand at once.

Then he promised with great emotion: "Thank you for your guidance, Chief of Staff, I guarantee that the Independent Battalion will definitely be able to gain a firm foothold in Laiyuan according to your ideas and create a base!"

"Children can be taught!" This is Yang Chengwu's evaluation of Wang Ping now!

The name of the political commissar of the Third Military Division of the Military Region is also Wang Ping, and he is a well-known old political worker in the Military Region.As for Wang Ping in front of him, even though he was still many ranks behind the political commissar of the military division.But with Wang Ping's current military accomplishment and combat command ability.Yang Chengwu was sure that Wang Ping would become a rare general, a wise general.

Two Wang Ping, one literary and one military, will definitely become a good story!
Since Wang Ping is full of confidence in staying in Laiyuan, and it is true that the independent camp has the opportunity to develop and grow in Laiyuan.Of course Yang Chengwu would not stop him, not only would he not stop him, but he would also try to give Wang Ping some support.

Because the independent battalion has a firm foothold in Laiyuan, which means that the tentacles of the first military division extend to Laiyuan, which is definitely very beneficial to the development of the first military division.

"Okay, I agree that the independent battalion will develop in Laiyuan! But I have a request. If nothing can be done, the independent battalion must preserve its strength as much as possible, return to the base area, or return to the mountains, and must not fight the devils head-on. I don't want to hear it To the news that the entire army of the Independence Battalion was destroyed in Laiyuan!" Yang Chengwu made the final decision with a serious face.

"Please, Commander, Chief of Staff, don't worry, the Independent Battalion will definitely be able to complete the task!" Wang Ping replied with a serious face, his words were full of confidence.

Yang Chengwu nodded in affirmation, and then fell into deep thought.

After a full minute, he said: "The independent battalion has a fatal weakness, that is, there are few veterans, especially the proportion of old Red Army cadres, which is very dangerous. I believe you can also see this , and then exchanged one company's equipment from Chen Zhengxiang for twenty veterans!"

"The military division can't help you in other aspects, but in order to expand the base area to Laiyuan, I have to support you even if I take out my family fortune!"

"Chief of staff, you are more familiar with the people in the headquarters than I am. If you gather together, how many people can support the independent battalion. Military cadres will not be given. Many of the puppet troops he captured should be able to train. Mainly political workers For cadres, it doesn’t matter if the price is low. You can slowly improve in the independent camp. There are many prisoners in the independent camp, and the soldiers are very complicated. It is necessary to strengthen the allocation of political cadres and strengthen the education of the party. Otherwise, when the scale of the army continues to expand, problems will definitely occur !"

Xiong Botao also knew how important it was for the independent battalion to gain a firm foothold in Laiyuan for the future development of the military division, so he was particularly cautious when he heard Yang Chengwu's order to evacuate people.

After thinking for a full minute, he replied: "Recently, the military region has sent us a lot of students who have loved us, and they have replaced a lot of work in the headquarters. Commander, the staff department can transfer three staff officers here, all of whom were company commanders in the Red Army. And the instructor, three cadres were transferred from the logistics department, six cadres and officers were drawn from the Political Department, and then eight officers and old Red Army officers were drawn from other departments, a total of 1 people! These low-level people can be squad leaders, deputy platoon leaders, For assistant instructors, those with high ranks can directly serve as company commanders and instructors, and it is no problem to become battalion commanders and instructors after some experience."

Yang Chengwu nodded affirmatively and said: "Yes, I remember when you first set up the independent battalion, you asked me to leave a radio operator, and get a radio station from the devil as soon as possible when I go back, so as to facilitate contact."

"In addition, this time you brought so many weapons and ammunition back, the guard company of the headquarters just took the opportunity to expand into a guard battalion. The extra equipment must be divided up, mainly for the second regiment and the newly formed third regiment. You got a company of pure Japanese equipment!"

"For the second regiment, the proportion of veterans is not as high as that of the first regiment, but it is still much higher than your independent battalion. When the time comes, I will use these equipment and get you ten old Red Army soldiers from regiment leader Zhao!"

Wang Ping's eyes lit up, and he replied very excitedly: "Thank you Commander, with these veterans, the Independent Battalion will definitely not disappoint the Division!"

Yang Chengwu waved his hand and continued: "Do you still remember the promise that Commander Nie gave you when he came here? As long as you turn the independent battalion into a real elite, you can expand it into an independent regiment at any time. I decided, for the needs of Laiyuan's struggle against the enemy, Expand the independent battalion into an independent regiment in advance."

Wang Ping was taken aback for a moment, and then his face became even more excited.Just when he subconsciously wanted to thank Yang Chengwu, the other party interrupted suddenly.

"However, after expanding into an independent regiment, if you are still the leader of the regiment, then it is not up to me, but Commander Nie of the military region must nod. Therefore, after returning to Laiyuan, you must come up with a job that is enough for Nie The commander's heartfelt results come out, otherwise, no matter how much Commander Nie trusts you, he will not be able to let you be the commander. After all, there are many people in the military region who are qualified to be the commander, and each of them must have their own qualifications and combat achievements. Victory!"

"I won't say too much nonsense, as long as you can take the independent battalion to gain a firm foothold in Laiyuan, and then use these veterans to expand the independent battalion to 500 people, I will personally go to the military region to recommend you as the head of the independent regiment!"

"I promise to live up to the trust of the commander and the chief of staff." Wang Ping's face became serious, and he promised loudly!

Like Chen Zhengxiang, the Second Regiment also owed Wang Ping's favor, and ten veterans were not enough to hurt the Second Regiment.

As soon as the order from the headquarters arrived, the Second Regiment drew ten people from the guard company with the largest proportion of veterans, and rushed to the headquarters to report.

In order to pass through the checkpoints and strongholds of the Japanese and puppet troops in Laiyuan at night, Wang Ping set off from the headquarters at noon the next day.

When he arrived at the first regiment station, Chen Zhengxiang also received an order from the independent battalion to fight devils in Laiyuan.

Because the station borders Laiyuan, and Chen Zhengxiang also received information that the Japanese army in Laiyuan is about to expand into a brigade.He is very aware of the dire and difficult situation faced by the independent battalion in Laiyuan.

In this case, how many veterans there are in the army and how their combat effectiveness is is particularly important.

Therefore, when Wang Ping arrived at the base of the First Regiment, Chen Zhengxiang had already prepared the twenty old Red Army cadres who had promised him.

As for the Japanese-style equipment that Wang Ping promised at the beginning, Chen Zhengxiang didn't mention it.In this case, Wang Ping couldn't help feeling that an old revolution is an old revolution.Even though Chen Zhengxiang didn't mention the equipment, he couldn't forget it.After returning, we must send the equipment over as soon as possible.

Because they didn't have the burden of heavy supplies and poor horses, and the old Red Army cadres who went to Laiyuan with Wang Ping had suffered all kinds of hardships, this kind of night march was a piece of cake for them.So, they go back very fast.Back to the Independence Camp resident after [-] o'clock in the middle of the night!
