Through the intelligence department, Wang Ping was surprised to find that the copper mine in Li Xuebin's mouth was away from the Independent Corps. Now it has been expanded into the Independent Brigade's resident less than 50 kilometers, which is just one day's itinerary.

So, a bold idea emerged directly into Wang Ping's mind.

"Sir, this person named Zhou Wu is like Li Xuebin. He is a professor, but Zhou Wu is a chemistry student. If he can rescue him from the Japanese and encourage him to join the arsenal, the bullet base fire, including the base fire of shells and grenades in the future, and even the direct production of yellow explosives will not be a problem!"

Commander Nie frowned and replied: "I know Zhou Wu is a talent, but it is too risky to go to the Japanese copper mine to grab people!"

"Copper mines are not iron ore. The copper from the copper mine can be directly produced into bullets. The Japanese attach more importance to it than iron ore and coal mines. They not only sent a reinforced infantry squadron to guard there, but also formed a mine protection team of more than 500 people!"

"Later, I asked someone to check it out. The information you provided was very accurate, and the combat effectiveness of the Japanese mine protection team was no worse than that of the army."

"The mine protection team with more than 500 people is well-equipped and has a combat effectiveness that is definitely better than an ordinary infantry brigade of the Japanese army!"

"More importantly, they defended the mountain and were equipped with a lot of artillery. Unless they carried out a strong attack, they would definitely not be able to save people!"

"There is another point. In order to ensure that the copper mine is foolproof, it continuously provides copper ingots to the Northeast and their country. The Imperial Army, which is not trusted by the Japanese, has no mine, and nearly 2,000 absent from work, and is directly managed by the Japanese mine protection team!"

With the current strength of the arsenal, even if the battalion is strengthened to form combat power, it is impossible to be an opponent of the copper mine defender.

But what Commander Nie didn't expect was that Wang Ping had no intention of using the arsenal's troops.

Now that the arsenal is about to be established, every place needs troops to protect it to prevent the Japanese and puppet troops from causing trouble. Even if Wang Ping wants to mobilize troops, there is no troops to be adjusted.

"Long, don't forget that the first district independent brigade station that has just been expanded is near the coal mine. You can reach the coal mine in one night!" Wang Ping reminded mysteriously.

"Independent Brigade, your old army!" Commander Nie reacted.

Then he suddenly realized his mind and said, "If the Independent Brigade was allowed to join, it would be possible to take down the copper mine. After all, the equipment and combat effectiveness of the Independent Brigade are there!"

"Okay, I agree to you go to the independent brigade to borrow troops. But there is a requirement that the noise should not be too much. It is best not to pass a regiment of the troops dispatched. Now all the troops in the military region are raising their strength. If the Japanese are recruited at this time, it will not be worth the loss!"

"Please rest assured and ensure that the task is completed." Wang Ping answered confidently.

Today, Laiyuan, except for the county town and several important transportation routes, is still controlled by the Ono brigade, all other areas have become independent brigade bases.

When Wang Ping returned to the Independent Brigade station again, he could clearly feel that the morale of the troops was stronger than when he first left, and there were more smiles on the faces of the nearby people.

Cheng Xiao was the director of the division's political department during the Red Army period, but was demoted to the deputy regiment level because of his reorganization. This time, the independent regiment was expanded and he became the commander of the independent brigade. As for the political commissar, he was a regiment political commissar who was promoted from other troops, and he was also an old Red Army cadre.

The regiment chief of staff Zeng Quan was not directly promoted to the brigade chief of staff for some reasons. After all, his abilities and qualifications were all there. However, Zeng Quan also served as the commander of the first regiment of the Independent Brigade.

Wang Ping believes that as long as Zeng Quan has experienced the position of regiment commander, his future achievements will definitely be more than the Chief of Staff of the Brigade.

Zhang Qing, the former battalion commander of the first battalion of the Independent Regiment, was promoted to chief of staff of the first regiment, and Zhang Yunshan, the former battalion commander of the second regiment, was promoted to chief of staff of the second regiment! Yan Song, the commander of the Third regiment, was promoted to chief of staff of the Third regiment!

The chief of staff of the brigade, the commander of the third regiment, and the political commissar of the three regiments were all transferred from other troops.

It can be said that after this round of expansion and adjustment, the Independent Brigade has added many unfamiliar faces to Wang Ping.

However, Wang Ping is sure that this adjustment is not to suppress Zhang Qing and Yan Song, but because they are like Zeng Quan. They have been promoted too fast this year and their ability improvement is a little bit unable to keep up with the promotion level of their positions. They must suppress them, let them immerse themselves in learning more, and improve their abilities well, so that their future path will be longer.

Wang Ping is also confident that as long as they learn and understand everything they have given them, their future achievements will definitely not be low.

These personnel adjustments were known when Wang Ping passed by a division headquarters.

Therefore, when Wang Ping rushed to the Independent Brigade's headquarters, Cheng Xiao was not sure.

Just as Wang Ping jumped off the war horse and continued to walk forward with his guards, more than a dozen soldiers holding rifles rushed out of the roadside.

"Who are you? What do you want to do inside?" A platoon leader asked Wang Ping after walking far away.

After seeing Wang Ping's face clearly, he shouted with surprise: "Old Commander, why are you here?"

Seeing his subordinates pointing guns at Wang Ping, he cursed directly: "Why are you all standing there? You haven't put the gun down yet. This is the old leader of our independent regiment. Without the old leader, there would be no independent regiment!"

Wang Ping waved his hand and asked, "Why are you hiding so many people here? I remember there should be a lot of light and dark sentries and checkpoints along the way into the mountain!"

"It's not that the Japanese have caused trouble, old regiment commander!" the platoon leader quickly answered.

"After we suffered a great loss on the battlefield, we will be humble!"

"More than half a month ago, I actually sent a small team to pretend to be our Eighth Route Army and touched the command center all the way. If it weren't for the investigation company's company commander Chen who happened to come to the brigade headquarters to do business, something was wrong, and the consequences would be absolutely unimaginable."

"But even so, these dozen Japanese devils have caused at least one platoon to the brigade headquarters!"

"The brigade commander and political commissar were very angry and ordered our guard battalion and the investigation company to ensure the safety of the brigade department. It's true that in half a month, we actually ate two Japanese combat teams that also pretended to be our Eighth Route Army here!"

After the report, the platoon leader asked directly: "By the way, old regiment commander, are you going back to the Independent Brigade? Do I want me to send someone to inform the brigade commander now that the political commissar is not here and I will go outside to inspect the troops, and only the brigade commander is at home!"

I came to ask for help from the independent brigade, not the superiors' surprise inspection. Therefore, out of politeness and respect for my old partner Cheng Xiao, Wang Ping did not attack suddenly.

"Yes, go and notify your brigade commander and say I'm here!"

Not long after, Cheng Xiao rushed over, looking excited and excited.

You should know that if it weren't for Wang Ping or the independent regiment, he would have been the deputy regiment commander in other troops. Even if he had military achievements, he would be the leader of the regiment now. He would not be like now, he would have become a brigade commander, a middle and senior cadre in the military region, and even the head of the headquarters knew him.

To put it more directly, all this was brought to him by Wang Ping in front of him.

Although Wang Ping is still a regiment-level cadre, two levels lower than himself. However, from the bottom of his heart, Cheng Xiao has already regarded Wang Ping as his benefactor, brother!

So, when he heard Wang Ping coming, and was in the brigade department, Cheng Xiao rushed out without saying a word, which made many people in the brigade department think that the commander was coming!
