Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 1201 Troop mules (second update!)

"This Wang Ping is not only good at commanding and fighting, but also often surprises the devils and creates miracles. He is also very generous and has a unique vision!" The boss who had read the telegram added that he was not stingy with the words of praise that he could think of.

"Thirty mountain cannons, rifles and light and heavy machine guns to form a reinforced brigade, plus more than 200 million rounds of various ammunition, send it out as soon as you say it!"

"Commander Chen made a lot of money this time. He took his direct brigade to the Xinyi Regiment. Not only did he earn back so many weapons and ammunition, but he also captured more than 2000 puppet army prisoners!"

"No surprises, the battle in the direction of Linfen City is safe, and we can sleep peacefully and have a good night's sleep!"

Although the deputy chief of staff was also very excited, he calmed down quickly, then stared at the deputy commander-in-chief and asked, "Boss, what do you mean, with this victory, Wang Ping and his new regiment will definitely be able to complete the headquarters transfer?" Give him a mission!"

"It's not just Xinyituan!" the boss affirmed.

"Not surprisingly, Commander Chen will also create a surprise for us in a short time!"

"Commander Chen brought back so many weapons and ammunition this time, especially those dozens of mountain cannons and infantry cannons. If you use them well, you can fight the devils casually for a counterattack. It's no problem to kill a full infantry regiment of them!"

The headquarters of the new regiment, head Wang Ping, political commissar Huang Yuanqiang, chief of staff Zhong Chenggong, the three sat around a table, discussing something, with complex expressions.

Especially the political commissar Huang Yuanqiang, who couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry.

The army fought a big victory in Dongping Village, and the three blessings came to the door, which was originally a happy thing.

However, the head of the regiment, Wang Ping, was too self-assertive, and sent out the equipment of a reinforced brigade with a single mouth.

There are still more than 700 prisoners of the puppet army. If the mobilization goes well, at least 2000 people can be persuaded to join the Eighth Route Army.

You know, these 2000 people are not ordinary recruits.

They are all veterans who have been trained by the devils and have been on the battlefield.

The reason why the devils have no fighting power and are defeated in one blow is because they don't really want to give their lives to the little devil.

But joining the Eighth Route Army is different!

Huang Yuanqiang is confident that with the political mobilization ability of the Eighth Route Army, they will definitely make them join the Eighth Route Army sincerely and follow the Eighth Route Army to fight devils wholeheartedly.At that time, their combat effectiveness will definitely increase.

You must know that many of the backbone of the new regiment are puppet soldiers who were captured at the beginning.

So many future backbone veterans of the new regiment will be sent out as soon as they say it, and I don't know whether to call him generous or big-hearted.

After all, the Xinyi Regiment is also short of soldiers, especially after the current battle and the casualties of the participating troops are not small...

Seeing the political commissar holding back his anger and not speaking, Wang Ping explained with a smile.

"Political commissar, don't be angry. The reason why they send their weapons, ammunition and recruits to the military region is not because of my generosity, nor because of my Wang Ping's big heart!"

"You, the political commissar of the military region, know better than I do. If these things stay in our new regiment, they will not improve the combat effectiveness of the new regiment much. However, in the hands of Commander Chen of the military region, whether it is weapons, ammunition or recruits, they can Help!"

"Also, although those captives were sent to the military area, I assure you, political commissar, that I will definitely send you more captives within a month at most!"

"At that time, what you have to worry about is not that there are no prisoners in your hand, but that there are too many prisoners in your hand, and there is no place to put them!"

Huang Yuanqiang's frowned brows relaxed immediately, staring at Wang Ping and asking, "Don't coax me, leader!"

"I, Wang Ping, always keep my word!" Wang Ping replied confidently.

Then he changed the subject and continued: "Also, political commissar, we didn't gain nothing in this battle!"

"Nearly 160 million catties of food and ammunition supplies have come down. Now there is a famine everywhere. As long as there is food in hand, otherwise we will not be able to recruit soldiers."

"There are also seven or eight thousand mules and rough horses. Excluding the ones taken away by the commander, we have nearly five thousand left!"

"I have an idea, use these mule horses and rough horses, let our new regiment reach the standard of mule horses."

"All the infantry battalions, the main battalion, no matter what the situation, the rapid march can guarantee a speed of five kilometers per hour, and a continuous march of thirty kilometers!"

"If this standard can be met, our new regiment's combat effectiveness in long-distance raids will definitely be greatly enhanced, and the mobility of the troops will also increase a lot. No matter where the base is attacked, the troops can move quickly and rush to the battlefield!"

Chief of Staff Zhong Chenggong replied with a face full of approval: "This problem really needs to be improved!"

"I remember the last time when the Japanese army launched a large-scale raid on my base area, several brigades suddenly appeared behind us. Although the troops dispatched from the front line arrived in time, they had to throw away almost all heavy weapons because of the hasty march. Go to battle with only light weapons and a small amount of ammunition."

"If it is a short-term battle of a few hours, the impact will not be great!"

"However, once the battle lasts for a day or even longer, the ammunition carried by the reinforcements to maintain their strength will not be enough."

"As for those heavy weapons, throwing them away rashly will definitely have a huge impact on the combat effectiveness of the troops!"

"I'm making an assumption. If in the last anti-sweeping battle, the reinforcements brought heavy weapons and sufficient ammunition while maintaining their marching speed, I can guarantee that our casualties and losses would have been reduced by at least [-]%. even more!"

"That's why I absolutely support turning the troops into mules!"

In the last anti-sweeping campaign, the political commissar stayed in the rear to direct the troops to fight. No one knew better than him the importance of mobility, heavy weapons, and sufficient ammunition to an army.

He frowned and asked, "How do you plan to change, leader!"

Wang Ping had thought it over a long time ago, and blurted out: "For the troops below us, the battalion has already set up a supply platoon. This will not change. What needs to be changed now is the infantry company. Each infantry company will form a supply squad with nine mules and horses." , it’s not a problem at all to carry a load of three thousand catties on a long-distance march.”

"The load of three thousand catties can include food and ammunition supplies for the whole company to fight for three days."

"In this way, ordinary infantry only need to carry weapons, clothing, and a day's combat supplies, and the load is only more than 20 kilograms, which will not affect the troops' long-distance rapid march!"

"The baggage platoon under the infantry battalion is equipped with fifty mules and horses, carrying the whole battalion's three-day combat supplies!"

"The heavy machine gun is equipped with ten mules and horses. All the heavy machine guns and supporting ammunition are carried by mules and horses to ensure the mobility of the troops!"

"The artillery company is equipped with 15 mules and horses, infantry artillery, mortars, and supporting shells, all of which are mules and horses!"

"The mountain cannon is equipped with thirty mules and horses, the mountain cannon is dismantled and divided into three parts, and the shells are all turned into mules and horses!

"New main battalion, independent battalion, each battalion is equipped with 105 mules and horses...the main battalion is equipped with 145 mules and horses..."

Chief of Staff Zhong Chenggong replied with bright eyes: "Regimental Commander, in this way, the mobility of the troops will definitely be greatly increased. Long-distance raids can be fought continuously for seven days without any reinforcements!"

"No, in fact, there must be more than seven days, ten days is possible!"

"There will be casualties during the battle, and the weapons, ammunition and supplies equipped by the casualties will be used by other combatants!"

"Head, I completely agree with your proposal just now!"
