Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 1247 Expansion of columns? (Second update!)

The reason why the Eighth Route Army is called the beggar army by many people is that apart from poor equipment, or even no equipment, there is another very important reason, that is, the equipment of the army is very messy, and it even has the title of Wanguo brand weapon exhibition tube.

A regiment, or even a battalion, may find rifles of several different calibers.

This kind of equipment is still no problem for training, but it will be a big trouble when it comes to combat.

Logistical supplies alone, replenishing the troops with qualified ammunition, is enough for the logistical staff to work.Maybe, the bullets received by the soldiers on the battlefield are of different calibers. Not only can they not hit the enemy, but they will also cause devastating damage to the weapons...

As a military commander, the Chief of Staff is well aware of the importance of unified equipment for a unit.

However, for the Eighth Route Army, this idea is definitely a luxury.

Not even a rifle, let alone uniform equipment.

On the battlefield, using guns is better than using broadswords and spears. Therefore, no matter what caliber rifles, as long as they can shoot out bullets, the commander can’t control so much when the weapons and equipment are insufficient. Equip the troops!

Now that the boss judged that the new regiment might have unified equipment, the chief of staff immediately replied in surprise: "If this is the case, Wang Ping has really done a great deed!"

Then he asked: "Boss, Commander Chen is still waiting for our call back? How to divide the equipment and ammunition sent by Wang Ping still needs to be decided by you, boss. After all, those are not thousands of guns!"

"Taiyue is a key breakthrough point for our anti-mopping up this time. After finally opening a breakthrough, the devils immediately transferred an infantry regiment to plug the gap. However, my advantage over Taiyue still exists, so, I still believe that Commander Chen can lead the troops to break the situation!"

"So, Commander Chen kept half of those weapons and ammunition, and the remaining half was only sent to the Taihang Military Region. They are under greater pressure, and there are few sources of weapons and ammunition. With this batch of supplementary weapons and ammunition, their pressure will be less a lot of!"

"I'm going to answer the telegram!" the chief of staff replied immediately.

Before leaving, a communications staff officer rushed in.

"Chief, there is an urgent call from the Taiyue Military Region!"

The chief of staff took the telegram and subconsciously browsed it, and then a very complicated expression appeared on his face.

"Did Commander Chen send another problem to our headquarters?" the boss asked.

"It is indeed a problem? But it is also good news!" the chief of staff replied.

While passing the telegram to the boss, he reported: "It is also related to Wang Ping. After Wang Ping reported the final establishment of the new regiment to the Taiyue Military Region, it caused a great shock in the military region. Commander Chen proposed to the headquarters to expand the new regiment. For the column, appoint Comrade Wang Ping as the commander of the column!"

"No!" The boss refused without hesitation.

Then he retorted with a dissatisfied face: "This old Chen did not expand the new regiment, but let Wang Ping stay at the new regiment and guard Linfen. He didn't know the specific reason. Once the new regiment expanded into a column, Yan'an The strategic goal of keeping the Xinyi Regiment in Southwest Shanxi with the headquarters will soon be impossible to achieve!"

The boss didn't answer the telegram, and started to issue orders: "Call Commander Chen back: I don't agree with their proposal, and one more sentence, no one can expand the new regiment without Yan'an's order, and transfer Wang Ping away from the new regiment! "

The chief of staff did not leave right away, he hesitated and asked: "Boss, you should read Commander Chen's telegram first. He must know the reason why the headquarters let the new regiment guard Linfen, but the new regiment has already arrived. To the point of no expansion!"

The boss took the telegram with doubts, and soon, a shocked expression appeared on his face.

"This Wang Ping really dares to do it. The main force of the Jinsui Army does not have as many troops as he has in his hands!"

The chief of staff said: "With so many troops, whether it is for the convenience of management or command, it is imperative to expand them into columns!"

"Boss, look, I don't know if Wang Ping did it on purpose. According to the method of a main battalion, a new battalion, and an independent battalion, the troops in his hands can be organized into ten regiments! "

"The three main regiments are combined into one division, exactly three main divisions and one direct subordinate regiment!"

"In addition, the heavy artillery battalion in his hand was originally the formation of the heavy artillery regiment! The cavalry battalion was also formed by compressing the cavalry regiment, as well as the air defense battalion, armored battalion, engineering company, and direct subordinate team. It is exactly the strength and organization of a main column!"

"It must be on purpose!" The boss affirmed without hesitation.

"He is preparing for the expansion of the troops into columns in the future!"

"He said in the telegram that he planned to set up three independent field artillery battalions. If I guessed correctly, these three field artillery battalions must be prepared for the three main divisions after the expansion of the army in the future. Each main division will have a field artillery battalion. The artillery battalion happens to be three field artillery battalions, what a trick!"

"Then how do we reply to this telegram!" the chief of staff asked in shock.

"Xinyi Regiment now has troops, troops, and equipment. The only thing it lacks is an order!"

"As long as the headquarters gives an order, I'm sure, it only takes a few days for his new regiment to expand into a column!"

The boss was very moved, but after a few minutes of hesitation, he shook his head and replied: "Wang Ping will continue to serve as the head of the new regiment, and he cannot be expanded or promoted. This is an order from Yan'an. No matter how tempted we are, we cannot disobey Yan'an's order." .”

"In this way, forward the original text of this telegram to Yan'an, and leave this problem to Yan'an. We are only responsible for obeying orders!"

Unbeknownst to Wang Ping, his telegram traveled thousands of kilometers and finally arrived in Yan'an, where it caused a great commotion.

The commander-in-chief, the deputy commander-in-chief, and the commander-in-chief gathered together in the middle of the night to discuss the shock and various effects of this telegram.

The Eighth Route Army headquarters, the boss and the chief of staff waited for two hours before receiving a call back from Yan'an.

Very simple, just a few words: "Isn't it time yet?"

"Yan'an has agreed to expand the new regiment into a column, but the time has not yet come!" The boss could see the deep meaning behind these words with just a glance.

"This Wang Ping has been suppressed as the head of the regiment for several years, and he is finally going to make it through!"

"Send the original text of these words to Commander Chen, and add a little more, so that Wang Ping can calm down for me during this time, and the fat that I don't want to talk about will fly away because of his impulsiveness and recklessness!"

"Ask Commander Chen to send a special telegram to his political commissar, telling me to take care of Wang Ping, and don't let him make mistakes!"

"At that time, jumping to the fourth level will definitely cause quite a stir. We must be prepared for all accidents!"
