Chapter 629: Rearing the Arms for War (Seventh)
"Comrades, more than a month ago, the Japanese special forces attacked the Xinyi Regiment headquarters. Then the entire Xinyi Regiment suffered heavy losses under the attack of the Japanese. Less than 300 people left fled to this forest, and all the cadres above the battalion were killed. For the Xinyi Regiment, this battle is definitely a shameful battle that everyone should remember forever." The brigade commander standing in front of hundreds of officers and soldiers shouted in his greatest voice.
"No, that battle was not only a shame for the New Orlean Regiment, but also a shame for my 386th Brigade, and a shame for integrating the Eighth Route Army."
Speaking of this, many cadres and soldiers' faces were flushed red.
Some are angry, some are frustrated, some are murderous, with their fists clenched, and they may kill people at any time.
Brigade Commander Chen wanted this effect, and then he stopped inspiring everyone, changed his mind and continued.
"But what makes me feel relieved is that you are not afraid of being beaten by the Japanese. Under the command of the new regiment commander, you keep attacking and turning the world around, and force a remnant regiment with a total strength of less than 300 people into this. Now, I can tell you that you have created miracles, the miracle of the Eighth Route Army!"
"Now I announce that the new 1st regiment has officially begun to reorganize, and your regiment commander will personally announce the reorganization order!"
Looking at hundreds of pairs of hot eyes, Wang Ping stood up: "Now I announce that Zhong Chenggong, the Chief of Staff of the New First Regiment!"
"Xiong Changhe, serve as the battalion commander of the 1st battalion of the new 1st regiment!"
"Xiao Yunshan, serve as the battalion commander of the second battalion of the new first regiment!"
"Yang Huping, serve as the battalion commander of the Third Battalion of the New First Regiment!"
"Wang Daoshan, serve as the battalion commander of the new recruit battalion!"
...
Compared with the serious atmosphere in the conference hall, the small conference room after the conference was full of disputes.
"Don't argue anymore. The regiment commander is here. There are only so many new recruits. The regiment commander knows how many people are divided into each battalion!" Seeing the regiment commander frowning and walking in, Zhong Chenggong performed his duties as the chief of staff well.
"Everyone wants soldiers, right?" Wang Ping asked with a smile when he looked at the battalion commanders who were red from the verge of fighting.
The three battalion commanders lowered their heads at the same time, saying no.
At this moment, Wang Ping suddenly said something that surprised everyone in the conference room!
"I don't have anything to say if I want soldiers. I want them too, but the Japanese won't give them to me. If the Japanese don't block it so strictly, I won't be too many even if the New First Regiment recruits three thousand new recruits!"
Xiong Changhe spoke, "The regiment commander is right. No one will think that he has too many soldiers. My first battalion is the main battalion, so he must be fully staffed. Now there are only 112 people in the battalion, including me, and there are only 388 people left to be fully staffed. The regiment commander and chief of staff, do you think?"
"The second battalion is still 402 people short of!" Xiao Yunshan, the commander of the second battalion, immediately added.
The third battalion commander Yang Huping was anxious and followed and said, "Captain, you can't be biased. My third battalion is also the main battalion. Change the full 415 people!"
Wang Ping stared at the three people, each of them looked at them for a few seconds and asked, "I just calculated that the recruits you three battalions had requested to supplement were over 1,200. However, the recruits in the Chief of Staff had only added up to 1,000, and even if they were given all of them, it would not be enough!"
"Also, I've given you all these thousand new recruits. What should I do if the guard company directly under the regiment headquarters is doing?"
"Who is responsible for the safety of the regiment headquarters? Let you come to protect the safety of the regiment headquarters!"
"There is no artillery company, does it mean that you do not need artillery support when fighting the Japanese in the future?"
After a series of back-to-back questions, all three battalion commanders lowered their heads. However, none of them took the initiative to say that they should be less recruits.
All three of them knew that now is not the time to be polite. If there are fewer recruits, the troops will not be fully organized and their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced. At that time, whether their battalion can become the main force of the new regiment may be the only way to see combat effectiveness.
Wang Ping climbed up step by step from the warriors, and could see the thoughts of these people at a glance.
Then he continued: "My original idea was to have the Guard Company, Artillery Company, and two main battalions full of squads. The remaining main battalion only puts the racks on it, and then add it when there are new recruits in the future!"
Speaking of this, Wang Ping could clearly see three eyes looking at him at the same time, and the masters of these three eyes were three battalion commanders.
The three people who had just lowered their heads were now staring at themselves with a nervous look on their faces, fearing that their camp would be selected as a camp.
At this moment, Wang Ping turned around and said, "But now I decided to change my original ideas and reorganization plan!"
"You three battalions are all excellent. No matter which two battalions are fully organized, it is not fair to the other battalion. So, I decided that in the whole regiment, except for the Guard Company and the Artillery Company, you three battalions only guarantee that two companies are fully organized. As for the other company, put on the rack first!"
"Of course, don't underestimate this airshot company. Maybe in a few months, or even a month, this airshot company will become a well-deserved main company among your three battalions!"
Wang Ping's words made everyone in the command center look puzzled, including Chief of Staff Zhong Chenggong.
Because this idea came out suddenly by Wang Ping, and it was an idea that only emerged after the Japanese bombing two days ago.
"Everyone still remembers the bombing of our Japanese army two days ago. If we hadn't used a plan, our new regiment would have suffered heavy losses if it weren't destroyed."
"However, can this plan be kept believing in the Japanese? I believe that our new regiment station was indeed bombed, and we still need to continue acting for the Japanese!"
"Someone may ask why it's so troublesome. The reason is very simple. It takes time for our new group to go."
"Thousands of new recruits will replenish their troops. It will take a lot of time to fully integrate into the Eighth Route Army, integrate into our new regiment, and then form combat effectiveness."
"And during this period, it's best for the Japanese to not make trouble."
"If you want to cook, the easiest and most direct way is to make the Japanese believe that our new regiment station was indeed blown up!"
Xiong Changhe, who had already performed a scene under the eyes of the Japanese, immediately asked: "Captain, how to act the drama? Should I kill the Japanese, I must count it as one of my battalions!"
"And my second camp!"
"The Third Battalion must also join! Commander, you cannot be biased. Leave the Third Battalion in every action!" The other two battalion commanders immediately interfered with a eager expression, afraid that they would say it was too late, and Xiong Changhe would take away the mission.
Wang Ping was very satisfied with the reaction of the three battalion commanders. In his opinion, what an army must not lack if it wants to make continuous progress is this competitive spirit!
Then he answered with certainty: "Don't worry, you three battalions have all their share in this big show, and the protagonist is the airs of your three battalions!"
"If the Japanese army bombed our station, our supplies and food supplies will definitely be gone, so we will not be able to continue to survive if we do our best. So, I plan to send them out for exhibitions and show the illusion that we can't survive in the mountains and can only go out!"
"Each shelf has thirty people, with enough weapons and ammunition. I find a way to send them out and show myself in three different directions in Linfen. I don't care whether they are fighting the Maintenance Association, fighting the puppet army, or fighting the Japanese, after a month, as long as the troops are expanded to a company and wait for the main force to come out, they will serve as the deputy battalion commander!"
