Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 119
The next day, when Wang Ping returned to the Independence Battalion with a few cadres from the military area, the whole garrison was like a huge construction site. Thousands of people gathered together, some were training, and some were in the surrounding forest. Opening up open space and building barracks is very lively.

Deng Hongtao, director of the political department who followed Wang Ping, had the first reaction of not believing what he saw, and then asked Wang Ping next to him, "Head, there must be more than 500 people here. For such a large resident, it must exceed 3000 people." people."

The logistics director Jiang Hongchun's eyes were even more venomous, and he judged directly: "I'm sure there are more than [-] people in the station. Could it be that the total strength of our independent regiment has exceeded [-]?"

Wang Ping shook his head and replied: "I don't know either. When I left the station, there were only more than 1000 people here. Not surprisingly, the extra recruits must be ordinary people recruited by the political commissar in Laiyuan these days!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Xiao, who had heard the news, strode over.

"Battalion Commander, you are back. If you don't come back, I don't know what to do with the thousands of people in the station!" Cheng Xiao said excitedly and helplessly.

"You are political commissar Cheng, right? Comrade Wang Ping is not the battalion commander from now on. The military division has been appointed, and Comrade Wang Ping will be the head of the newly formed independent regiment. You will be the political commissar!" Deng Hongtao who was next to Wang Ping hurriedly stood up. explained.

Cheng Xiao's first reaction was excitement, and then staring at Wang Ping, he asked with surprise: "The military division really agrees to our expansion!"

Wang Ping nodded affirmatively: "Agreed! Ask Lao Zeng to go to the conference room together, I will introduce some new comrades to you, and announce the order of the military division by the way, and then Lao Cheng, you will also introduce to me the changes in the station in the past few days , It’s only been a few days, how come there are so many people in the station all of a sudden!”

The small meeting room was crowded with seven or eight people, but Wang Ping had no other choice. He couldn't put such a serious matter as announcing the establishment of an independent group out there.

As soon as Zeng Quan arrived, Wang Ping read out the announcement of the establishment of an independent regiment in the military division and related appointments, and then the small conference room burst into warm applause, especially Zeng Quan, who applauded very loudly.

More than a month ago, Zeng Quan was only a platoon leader of the recruit company of the military division. Even before the army was reorganized, Zeng Quan was the highest and only served as the company commander of the Red Army.But now following Wang Ping, he has become the chief of staff of the regiment in just over a month, a veritable regiment-level cadre.

You must know that many regiment-level cadres during the Red Army are still at the battalion level because of the limited number of troops.It is not an exaggeration to describe Zeng Quan's promotion speed as a miracle.

Wang Ping waved his hand, and after the applause stopped, he immediately asked Cheng Xiao the question he was most concerned about now.

"Old Cheng, what's the matter with so many people in the resident. I remember that when I left, there were only more than 1000 people in the resident, and it wasn't very crowded. Why did it become overcrowded in just a few days!"

Deng Hongtao, Director of the Political Department, and Jiang Hongchun, Director of the Logistics Department, both stared at Cheng Xiao.

"The idea of ​​ordinary people in Laiyuan joining the Eighth Route Army to fight against devils is too enthusiastic. So many people were brought back within a few days after the six platoons went out. They couldn't be turned away. After I discussed with the chief of staff, I temporarily sent them away. Formed 25 recruit companies, transferred 25 veterans from the main force to serve as company commanders, and gave them the most basic training!"

"Because there are too many people, the garrison will definitely not be able to live. 25 recruit companies will take turns to open up new garrisons in the surrounding forest!"

"I want to know how many people there are in our independent group now!" Wang Ping continued to ask.

After thinking about it, Cheng Xiao blurted out: "Including the recruits, there are a total of 650 three people, and there are more than two regiments!"

"Hiss!" There was a gasp in the conference room.Except for Zeng Quan, everyone including Wang Ping was shocked by this number.

While the others were still in shock, Jiang Hongchun, the director of logistics, frowned, and asked with a worried face.

"More than 4000 people, can our independent regiment feed so many troops! Even if we save food, more than 4000 people will eat at least [-] catties of food a day. This can only guarantee that we will not be hungry. If we train, we will eat a day. Thousands of catties of grain are possible! Does our independent regiment have so much grain?"

Wang Ping was also taken aback by Jiang Hongchun's worry, and then quickly looked at Cheng Xiao with a worried expression on his face.

"Please don't worry about this!" Cheng Xiao replied confidently.

"When we attacked the devil's stronghold earlier, we seized nearly 40 catties of grain, and it was all refined grain. This time, several main platoons seized nearly 41 catties from several local traitor leaders. Excluding what was eaten during this period, there are still almost 12 catties of grain piled up in the warehouse. Except for [-] catties of coarse grains, the rest are all refined grains.”

"In addition, we also seized more than 8000 cans of devil's standard food, more than 5000 catties of pork, and a lot of salt and oil. If we save some food, it will be enough for us to eat for two months! There is also a problem, soldiers There are not enough military uniforms and quilts, not only not enough, but very short."

"There are more than 4000 people. Except for more than 200 people who wear the Eighth Route Army uniform, the rest are either wearing the original Imperial Army uniform or the captured devil uniform. As for the newly recruited recruits, they are still wearing their own clothes!"

"The quilts are not enough. Including those captured by the Japanese and puppet troops, the total is less than [-] sets, which is more than half. In just a few days, dozens of soldiers in the army have already caught a cold from the cold." !"

"Director Jiang, you are an old logistics cadre of our Eighth Route Army. From now on, I will entrust all the logistics of the Independent Regiment to you. Your task is very heavy!"

In just 2 minutes, Jiang Hongchun's complexion was like the changeable sky, from cloudy to clear, and then from sunny to cloudy.

After Cheng Xiao finished speaking, he interjected: "I will risk my life to do a good job in the logistics of the independent regiment. However, regiment leader, a clever woman can't cook without rice. Now I have nothing, no matter how capable I am, I can't do it. It is possible to conjure up cotton and cotton cloth to make military uniforms and quilts for soldiers!"

Wang Ping immediately interjected: "There are 25 recruits in the [-] recruit companies. I will give you [-] places. You can choose the recruits yourself and form an independent logistics department. The first thing after the establishment of the logistics department is to unify the military uniforms. Let’s not talk about recruits, we must ensure that the main force has uniform uniforms, otherwise others will treat us as bandits when the troops go out!”

"Another problem to be solved immediately is the quilt. It is necessary to ensure that every soldier in the regiment has a quilt!"

"As for other problems, the political commissar will solve them for you!"

Cheng Xiao immediately made a decision: "Military uniforms and quilts can be made by purchasing cotton cloth and cotton by ourselves, and the logistics department will dye them uniformly. I remember that during the Long March, the army directly paid silver dollars to buy them from the people in order to raise military uniforms. The cotton cloth and cotton are produced, and the common people help to make them, and we will give a piece of money to complete ten sets of quilts! The logistics department can do this!"

"I'll grant you 2000 yuan, and you can do it yourself, and complete the task assigned by the team leader to the logistics department as soon as possible!"

The price was 2000 yuan. Commander Nie was never so generous when he was in the logistics department of the military region.With a shocked face, Jiang Hongchun first gave Wang Ping and Cheng Xiao an affirmative answer, and then looked forward to the logistics reserve of the independent regiment.
