Chapter 27 Crossing the river and demolishing the bridge
Someone will ask at this time, since veterans are so important, why should Wang Ping not be veterans!
Now the real veterans of the Guard Company are the commanders who have drawn from the headquarters. However, the new recruits in the company have not yet become real veterans after a day of training today. However, after experiencing the bloody battle, they are not far from the veterans.
Just after a period of training, the remaining seventy or eighty people in the guards will become veterans.
At that time, the guard company will not be short of veterans, but new recruits.
Seventy or eighty veterans led 100 new recruits, which was almost one to one ratio. Wang Ping was confident that it would not take too long to train the guard company to become a real elite!
Wang Ping, who looked satisfied, continued: "Commander, plus one hundred new recruits, the total strength of the guard company will exceed one hundred and seventy. I plan to form three reinforced platoons of 45 people, one heavy machine gun platoon, one artillery platoon, and then one guard squad and one kitchen squad..."
"The heavy machine gun platoon, artillery platoon, and the main regiment of the military sub-district have no artillery platoon. You can create one of the guard companies, no one! Besides, you just want to create an artillery platoon, and you don't have artillery in your hands!" Yang Chengwu refused without thinking.
"I don't object to the establishment of a strengthening company, but I think it's better to set up a heavy machine gun platoon and artillery platoon that have no shadow at all, than to set up an additional infantry platoon!"
Wang Pingze insisted: "Commander, I will solve the equipment problem myself. I will never ask the commander for a gun or a bullet! I promise that at most a month, a reinforced company full of staff will stand in front of you. However, I also hope you can agree to a small request!"
"I agree! What is the small request you want me to agree?" Yang Chengwu, who had a look of anticipation, finally agreed and stared at Wang Ping and asked.
As the commander, he also wanted to see what kind of miracle Wang Ping, his old subordinate, could create for himself!
Wang Ping immediately said: "Now the headquarters is deep in the mountains, and there are many main troops guarding around it. Safety should not be a problem. I want the guard company to go out to find the bad luck of the Japanese in the platoon and go out to practice troops by the way!"
At this time, before Commander Yang Chengwu spoke, the Chief of Staff rushed to object: "I don't agree! The duty of the Guard Company is to protect the safety of the Command. There are main forces when going out to fight, and it is not the turn of the Guard Company!"
"The guard company is not around the headquarters. If something happens to the headquarters, who will protect the headquarters!"
Wang Ping quickly explained: "Chief of Staff, not the guards go out, but only one platoon at a time. The time is about five days, and three platoons take turns to attack. In this way, there will be more than one hundred people around the headquarters to protect the safety of the headquarters from beginning to end!"
"Also, the Japanese outside the mountain were beaten to death and injured by us and so many people were not retreating. It must have been a waste of time with us. I heard that our supplies could not keep up with us for so long!"
The Chief of Staff did not hide it: "Indeed, if it weren't for the horse meat you brought back, the troops would have been out of food. The base has just been established, and we cannot collect grain on the spot. We can only rely on purchases and seizures. Now in war, we can't buy food at all. Although some of the seizures are some, it will definitely not satisfy the consumption of more than 2,000 people in the military region!"
"Then you should attack even more!" Wang Ping immediately intercepted.
"Our military sub-district saves more than 2,000 people and needs so much food every day. There are nearly 3,000 Japanese people left. The food consumed every day must be astronomical. So much food, they must have been sent from the rear to Lingqiu County. I want to take the troops to the Japanese supply line to see if they can get food!"
"Also, if the guard company has a less platoon, the usual food supply will be less, which can also reduce the logistics pressure of the headquarters!"
Yang Chengwu did not answer immediately, but fell into deep thought!
"After we wiped out a reinforced squadron, the Japanese were much more cautious. There were at least two squadrons in the army. Even if we concentrated two regiments, it would be difficult to wipe out them all within a period of time!"
"In this case, it will be difficult for us to use the main Japanese troops to force them to retreat!"
The Chief of Staff also understood it and said, "Commander, what you mean! Just like what Wang Ping said just now, we jumped directly to the Japanese rear, fight the Japanese supply line, or his empty logistics base, stronghold!"
"Beat the Japanese so that their front-line troops will not get supplies, and force him to end the encirclement!"
Yang Chengwu immediately made a decision: "In this way, he notified the First Regiment and the Second Regiment to draw two main battalions full of personnel to touch the rear of the Japanese. The First Regiment was responsible for attacking the rear stronghold of the Japanese with empty troops. The Second Regiment was responsible for cutting off the Japanese logistics supply line and exiting immediately!"
"I don't believe that the Japanese are all fighting hard. Without logistics supplies, we can continue to waste here with us!"
Wang Ping was anxious. This was obviously a bridge burning across the river!
I used my own ideas, but when it was my turn to fight the Japanese, I didn’t have anything to do!
"Then I, Commander?" Wang Ping, who looked dissatisfied, asked quickly!
Yang Chengwu replied with a serious face: "You have too few troops in your platoon, so it won't be of much use to the Japanese logistics supply line! If you really want to go, I agree, but you have to obey the command of the Second Regiment Commander Wang!"
What Wang Ping wants is the right to fight independently. Now let him obey other people's command! It's better not to attack.
After a brief hesitation, he decided to ruthlessly: "Then I won't go, just look for fighter jets outside the mountains and find ways to kill the Japanese!"
At this time, Yang Chengwu had already agreed from the bottom of his heart that Wang Ping wanted the guards to take turns to attack.
After looking at the Chief of Staff, he decided very decisively: "I agree to your attack, but I also have a request. When you leave the forest, you must not fight with the Japanese. If you don't have the confidence to win, you must not fight with the Japanese. You must control the casualties of the Guard Company. After all, most of the Guard Company are recruits!"
After the expansion of the Guard Company, Zeng Quan no longer served as a platoon leader.
The current platoon leader Zhang Qing, a squad leader of the recruit company half a month ago, was also an old Red Army soldier. Because he was not old and had a flexible mind, he was directly attracted by Wang Ping.
In the first round, Wang Ping attacked in a row, plus a guard squad, a gun squad, and a heavy machine gun squad, with a total force of about 60 people.
It was still a lively base half a month ago, but after the Japanese were tossing, it became depressed.
Many villages were empty because they were evaded by the Japanese encirclement. There were also many villages with corpses of people slaughtered by the Japanese at the entrances! Because no one buried them, the bodies were stiff and looked particularly cunning.
After several villages were raising them in a row, five bodies of the people were buried.
