Chapter 778: Military Region Decision
For the Military Region Command, the commander stays outside for one more day, the political commissar and the chief of staff will be worried for a day.
The Japanese's cage policy has an increasingly greater impact on the base area. The passage between the military region and the Fourth Military Sub-district has been separated by the Japanese in recent days, which means that the commander will face a new threat when he returns from the Fourth Division.
"Chief of Staff, haven't you received the telegram from the commander to come back? Now the Japanese are dividing and blocking our military region is getting more and more serious. If you don't come back, I'm worried that something will happen!" Early in the morning, the political commissar stared at the chief of staff as soon as he walked into the command center and asked.
The Chief of Staff shook his head and replied helplessly: "Not yet~"
Then he frowned and suggested, "Would we send a telegram to the commander or the new regiment to urge him!"
Just as the political commissar was hesitating whether to ask for a telegram, the communications staff rushed in with excitement and rushing in.
"Political commissar, chief of staff, commander urgent telegram!"
"What did you say?" the political commissar asked immediately.
Before the communications officer could speak, the chief of staff had already snatched the telegram, glanced at the telegram and answered.
"The commander is finally coming back. He asked us to draw a main group from nearby and arrive at Zhouzhuang at 11 o'clock tonight. He wants to cross the Japanese blockade line from there and let the group prepare for the support!"
"No!" The political commissar's brow suddenly frowned and shook his head and replied.
"This is not the commander's style. If you draw a main group to pick him up, the commander will definitely not make such a request. Even if the headmaster comes, we will not ask us to draw a group to pick him up. The noise is too big, and it may backfire and expose the target."
"Did the reason be mentioned in the telegram?"
The Chief of Staff also frowned, and then scanned the content of the telegram again and replied: "No, let us execute the order in the telegram, and we must do a good job of confidentiality!"
After thinking for a long time, the political commissar could only shake his head and answer: "Then execute the order, and you will know everything when the commander comes back!"
At five o'clock in the morning, the commander returned to the military region. The equipment and ammunition brought back from the New First Regiment had already arrived at the receiving troops and were transported to the military region from different roads in batches.
Following the support troops, they rushed to Zhouzhuang's political commissar and chief of staff. After seeing the equipment brought back by the commander, they all had a lot of questions.
Because they were rushing to the military headquarters, the two of them couldn't help asking.
"Commander, those equipment and ammunition are..."
"I knew you must be the first to ask this question!" The commander joked a little, then handed the equipment list to the political commissar, and finally answered.
"It's all gifts given to the military region by the New First Regiment. The equipment, mortars, and heavy machine guns of a whole brigade are all configured according to the standards of one regiment and one company. There is also the equipment of an infantry artillery company and a large amount of ammunition!"
"How is it, this time I'll go to Wang Ping's place and this trip is worth it..."
"Hiss..." Both the political commissar and the chief of staff took a breath and it took a long time to react.
Especially the political commissar, after reading the list in his hand three times, he believed in his eyes, and then stared at the commander and asked: "In other words, the telegrams that the New First Regiment sent to the military region were true!"
"It's true, and they won another big victory in the new regiment these days, otherwise I wouldn't have brought so much equipment and ammunition!"
The commander did not hide it and directly told him about his experience in the New Gang.
"Wang Ping is so amazing, Commander, I suggest that the record of the New First Regiment be reported to the headquarters immediately and ask for credit for them, especially the leader of the New First Regiment Wang Ping!" The political commissar suggested to the commander as soon as he reacted from the shock.
"It is certain that you ask for me, but not now!" the commander shook his head and replied.
Then, the two men stared at each other with confusion and answered: "I plan to use the equipment given to the military region by the New First Regiment to form a brigade. It does not belong to any military sub-district, but directly under the command of the military region!"
"In this way, facing the heavy encirclement and suppression of the Japanese army, several military sub-districts can be ignored and fight the Japanese according to their own wishes. The military sub-district also has troops in their hands to mobilize them to attack the enemies they want to attack, without adding pressure to the military sub-district!"
The Chief of Staff immediately agreed: "This method is good. Every time the military region takes any action, it is too troublesome to join forces with various military sub-districts to mobilize troops. It is also easy to disrupt the combat plans of each military sub-district."
"With the military region's direct troops, not only does it not need to be dispatched from various military sub-districts, but when the military sub-district is insufficient, we can also provide reinforcements to them, with only the benefits and no harm!"
The political commissar in charge of logistics was not that happy.
An additional brigade of troops is not just as simple as equipment.
Soldiers, food, and patronage... are all problems.
He frowned and asked the commander: "How to solve the problem of the troops? According to the configuration of these equipment, the size of a regiment is about 13 to 1500 people, and the entire brigade has a total of nearly 4500 people. If the military region finds new recruits by itself, it will be impossible to form combat effectiveness without half a year. Moreover, the military region may break out at any time, and we don't have so much time to train them!"
"Let the other three military divisions provide, the fourth division provides equipment and ammunition, and the other three military divisions provide soldiers!"
"Each military sub-district sends 1,000 people to the headquarters, of which 300 are veterans. The military district does not need any equipment or ammunition, and also adds 1,000 grenades, 50,000 bullets, and 100 shells to them!"
"I believe that several military division commanders will definitely rush to do such a business! You know, each of their military divisions has established many recruit troops, but because of the Japanese cage policy, the equipment and ammunition are pitifully insufficient."
"As for the remaining soldiers, the military region will solve it themselves!"
"The headquarters and logistics department can all streamline some personnel to replenish the troops. In addition, the new recruits battalion and the guard battalion directly under the military region, one brigade of troops is enough!"
"As for combat effectiveness, you don't have to worry. There are 30% of the veterans in the entire brigade, and the training method I brought back from the New First Regiment. In just over a month, this brigade can form combat effectiveness!"
The political commissar nodded in agreement, but his frown did not relax.
He stared at the commander and continued to ask: "How to solve the problem of food, patronage, and other logistics supplies. A brigade of 4,500 people needs to consume every day is astronomical. Can our military district afford to raise it?"
"I'll solve it!" the commander replied confidently.
The report Wang Ping gave him included two main methods: one is self-sufficiency, and the other is to snatch it from the Japanese.
At first, the commander was still suspicious about these two methods, but after listening to Wang Ping's explanation, the doubts disappeared.
