Since we have decided to regard this place as the future garrison of the independent camp, the dozen or so barracks in front of us are definitely not enough.

Just then, Wang Ping brought back a company of prisoners, with a total of more than 200 prisoners, and began to build barracks in the following days.

As Zhang Yunshan returned with the main force of the battalion, the puppet army prisoners who participated in the construction of the barracks directly exceeded 300, and the construction rate became faster and faster. The number of barracks at the garrison increased rapidly with the number of ten rooms a day.

After the number of barracks reached fifty, Wang Ping asked the puppet army to stop.

Because he suddenly thought of a problem: Even if the commander agrees to stay in the Laiyuan base, hundreds of people in the Independent Battalion will not be stationed here. Not to mention anything else, the villages that were taken down and protected by the Independent Battalion will definitely have to garrison troops.

In this way, the Zhangjiawan station will only have the independent battalion and some direct troops left. Even if the independent battalion is expanded into an independent regiment, the total force will not exceed 500.

Five hundred people use fifty barracks. Even if some barracks are used to store supplies or serve as battalion command centers, that is enough.

The conference room just arranged by the Independent Battalion, all the company commanders, instructors, and direct platoon leaders gathered inside, which was very lively. Everyone was discussing the gains and combat experience of this attack, both passionate and tragic.

This lively atmosphere ended with Wang Ping, Cheng Xiao, and Zeng Quan.

Then more than a dozen pairs of eyes were as if they had agreed, staring at Wang Ping at the same time.

Because everyone heard some news before the meeting, the battalion commander would reorganize the independent battalion at this meeting. It was related to how many soldiers and weapons each person could get, so they could not be nervous.

Without hesitation, Wang Ping directly ordered Zeng Quan on the side: "Old Zeng, let me tell you about the series of achievements and losses after we sent troops to Laiyuan. After so long, we should make everyone happy!"

More like the deputy battalion chief of staff Zeng Quan stood up immediately, picked up a list and introduced it.

"Comrades, the battle results are brilliant. This is the battalion commander, including the instructor and me, on this series of battles!"

"Three consecutive attacks and an ambush, although the Japanese army destroyed by our independent battalion could not count the specific number, it must have exceeded 500. This is not considered the puppet army. If the puppet army is added, a thousand people are possible!"

"In addition, after several days of mobilization, more than 200 people have been willing to join our independent camp. If we continue to mobilize, the number will reach 350 people, or even 400 people," he said.

If so many prisoners really joined the Independent Battalion, plus the original 200 people from the Independent Battalion, the local people who have participated in the Eighth Route Army have taken the initiative to ask for the total strength of the Independent Battalion to exceed 700 people. This means that each company and platoon of the Independent Battalion can reach full force.

So, before Zeng Quan finished introducing the article, more than a dozen platoon leaders in front of him began to shine.

After seeing everyone's reaction, Zeng Quan continued to introduce: "Just this was the situation of annihilation of the enemy. Let me talk about our gains. In the continuous battle, we seized a total of two heavy machine guns, 16 crooked handles, three machine guns equipped by the puppet army, 15 grenade launchers, 328 large covers, and Mauser equipped by the puppet army, a total of 418 old sleeves, and 32 various pistols were seized."

"As for ammunition, I won't introduce it in scattered parts. I will only introduce to you the boxes of mortar shells, a total of 120 boxes, a total of 160 boxes of grenades, a total of 30,000 boxes of heavy machine gun bullets, a total of 20 boxes of 38 large covers and crooked handles, a total of 40,000 bullets, a total of 250 boxes of grenades!"

"There are no statistics on other scattered ammunition, the most are bullets, which is estimated to be more than 30,000, which is not what the comrades have already divided!"

"In addition to these, there is another harvest, which is food and supplies. In the three Japanese strongholds, we seized more than 15,000 kilograms of various grains, and there were seventy or eighty boxes of canned food. If you save some food, it would be enough for the entire camp to eat for twenty days!"

"As for other supplies, there are bedding, cotton military uniforms, medicines, and some lunch boxes, half of the warehouse is piled up!"

"In the end, there are war horses and sluggish horses. A total of 8 war horses were seized and 29 slow horses were brought to cargo!"

Instructor Cheng Xiao took the lead, the small conference room immediately burst into very warm applause.

In a few days, although everyone judged the large amount of seizures brought back by the attacking troops and the harvest of the troops must have been painful, no one expected that the number and variety would be so huge.

If so much equipment and ammunition are sent back to the base, it will be enough for the military sub-district to reorganize a main force.

Wang Ping waved his hand and continued, "Don't be too happy too early. The results of the battle are indeed very brilliant, but our losses are also great! More than 200 people from the base area are still alive, and more than 20 wounded people are still lying in the health center for treatment. Fortunately, most of the comrades who died were recruits, otherwise our independent battalion company would not have the capital to expand the troops!"

The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became heavier.

Every company has those soldiers who died. Although they have not been together for a long time, they are living lives after all. They just disappear like this, and everyone will be sad!

The purpose of Wang Ping doing this is very simple, that is, to suppress everyone.

In the past few days, the Independent Battalion has been winning battles. As the commander, everyone is very happy. But as the battalion commander, what Wang Ping fears most is that everyone turns this happiness into underestimating the enemy.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wang Ping calmed down everyone and told everyone not to underestimate the enemy.

Seeing that the purpose had been achieved and Cheng Xiao knew that Wang Pingliang was working hard, he spoke: "Okay, no matter what, since the attack, our independent camp still has brilliant results!"

"According to the commander's order to give us the independent battalion, attacking Laiyuan is the equipment and soldiers required for the expansion of the independent battalion. At this point, this goal has been achieved."

"But after discussing with the commander, I felt that our independent camp would make more contributions to staying here, so we have the opportunity to build a large-scale barracks here in the past few days."

"If you want to achieve great things, you must have enough strength to protect yourself and fight the Japanese all over the ground. So, what we will discuss next in this battle is the reorganization of the troops!"

Seeing Wang Ping nodding by default, Cheng Xiao continued, "Everyone has heard of Deputy Battalion Commander Zeng's introduction. So far, I have mastered a lot of new recruits, especially those puppet army prisoners. As long as I do ideological education, I can replenish the troops at any time. In order to make the troops full as soon as possible and then form combat effectiveness, the battalion commander and the deputy battalion commander decided to complete the reorganization of the independent battalion in the next two days!"

Wang Ping immediately said: "There is nothing to say about the reorganization. According to the plan we set up when we formed the independent battalion. However, there is one problem. Our independent battalion does not have enough grassroots cadres. Even if all the limited old Red Army soldiers are appointed as squad platoon leaders, that is not enough. This is the only problem we have to face in the reorganization!"
