Chapter five hundred and fourteen part-time deputy chief of staff
The battle ended with the ambushing of the Japanese in the circle being wiped out.
However, Brigade Commander Chen, who withdrew from the garrison, was not happy at all.
More than 600 people were sacrificed, more than 300 were seriously injured, and more than 500 were slightly injured. Such a huge price was something that Brigade Commander Chen had never encountered since the War of Resistance Against Japan, and it was equivalent to a completely scrapped regiment.
"What else is bad news? Report it together!" Brigade Commander Chen continued to ask with a calm face.
"Seither!" The Chief of Staff had a very bad look and replied with a calm face.
"Because of the large-scale use of artillery and the battle lasted for too long, the ammunition brought by the Japanese was basically exhausted. Therefore, we basically did not seize too many weapons and ammunition on the battlefield, especially ammunition, which could not even make up for our losses!"
Seeing that Brigade Commander Chen's face became heavier and heavier, the political commissar on the side comforted him in time: "Brig Commander, although the losses are huge, and there are not many weapons and ammunitions captured. However, the ambush and blockade eliminated more than a thousand Japanese devils in total. Judging from the number of enemies annihilated, this is definitely a victory battle!"
Speaking of this, the political commissar changed his tone and continued: "Also, although we did not seize many weapons and ammunition in the battle, the headquarters supported us a large number of weapons and ammunition, including 800,000 bullets in various types, 1,000 rifles and a large number of light and heavy machine guns. With the seized equipment, we can immediately equip a reinforcement regiment!"
Brigade Commander Chen finally showed a smile on his tense face.
He stared at the political commissar and asked, "Are you sure the headquarters really gives us so many weapons and ammunition? When did the headquarters become so generous!"
"I'm sure I've looked at all these weapons and ammunition, and I guarantee that there are a lot of bullets. They were all escorted by the First Battalion of the Headquarters Guard Regiment!"
"What are you waiting for? Are there two new recruits behind us without equipment? Let's divide the weapons immediately, and draw a company from the four main regiments to form the new second regiment. The vacancies of the four main regiments will be supplemented from the new regiments, and all weapons will be supplemented!" Brigade Commander Chen's tense nerves completely relaxed, and he frowned and issued an order to expand the troops.
Then he stared at several deputy and explained: "The Japanese lost so many troops at once, and they would definitely find a way to retaliate against us. The troops must have enough weapons and ammunition to welcome the Japanese's revenge, otherwise we will suffer a big loss after winning a big victory!"
"No problem, tomorrow I will start to form the new Second Regiment. The cadres, recruits and equipment are ready-made. At most, the new Second Regiment can start training in three days. In addition, the new recruits in the new recruits have been trained for at least three months. Now that I have got the gun and a sufficient number of veterans to take them, I should be able to initially form combat effectiveness in half a month!"
"That's good. If there are not enough cadres, please transfer from several main groups. Which leader is unwilling to ask him to come to me directly!"
"The Japanese army swept us heavily. The more troops we have, the more confident we will be in the next anti-sweeping!"
At this time, the political commissar suddenly thought of something and followed and added: "Brig Commander, there are two more troops. Don't forget that the first battalion of the headquarters guard regiment is a reinforcement battalion with nearly 700 people. It has strong combat power. If used properly, it can be worth a regiment!"
"I mean, send all the remaining recruits from the two new recruits to the first battalion, mix with the first battalion, and form the new third regiment!"
"No hurry!" This time, Brigade Commander Chen refused.
"Although the expansion of the army is good, we must have a fist force. The four regiments in our hands and the new regiment have many new recruits, and their combat effectiveness is definitely not as good as the beginning. This battalion has been the fist force in our hands from now on. It will be sent to the battlefield at critical moments and will give the enemy a fatal attack!"
"By the way, the special forces directly under the headquarters are in the same position. Their role cannot be underestimated. I will take a look at these heroes now!"
Seeing Brigade Commander Chen walking directly outside the command center, the political commissar and chief of staff quickly followed.
Especially the Chief of Staff, as if he had found a treasure, he said excitedly: "Brig Commander, the combat effectiveness of these people is really not ordinary. I heard the report of the cadres and soldiers below. In the end, more than 300 Japanese devils in the encirclement, nearly 150 people died at their hands. Among them, more than 50 of them were directly shot at the heads of the heads, and these people who were shot were basically Japanese machine gunners and so-called special forces!"
"Also, the equipment of these people is very good. They each have two guns, a rifle or a submachine gun, and each have a twenty-shot Mauser pistol."
"No need to mention bullets, each person has three hundred bullets and three grenades."
"The squad of more than fifty people is equipped with three Type 96 light machine guns and three 6o mm caliber mortars!"
"If such an elite team can stay, it can definitely be regarded as our 386th Brigade's killer weapon!"
The more Brigade Commander Chen heard the more excited, but he did not lose his mind. He interrupted without hesitation: "Chief of Staff, don't think too much. This is the special forces directly under the headquarters, and his ideas are all over the boss. But it is impossible to keep them, but they can help us train the same special forces here!"
"Reporter Commander, the Special Forces Team is ordered to come for reinforcements. Please instruct the Special Forces Team Captain Wang Ping..." As soon as Brigade Commander Chen came in, Wang Ping rushed to the door and reported.
"Wang Ping? I remembered that you were the former commander of the independent regiment of the Jin-Cha-Hebei Military Region, and later became the director of the arsenal, and now you have become the captain of the special forces. As expected, you should not behave like a person. You are young and proficient in everything!" Brigade Commander Chen was stunned at first, then quickly reacted and stared at Wang Ping and asked.
Wang Ping became embarrassed instead. Other cadres were all rising, but he not only did not rise, but instead declined again and again.
Brigade Commander Chen could see what Wang Ping was thinking at a glance, and then changed his tone and said, "Captain Wang, I am here to thank your special forces!"
"If the Special Forces had not joined the battle in time, I would not know what would have happened in yesterday's ambush!"
"Sir, this is what we should do. The fundamental reason why the headquarters formed a special forces is to deal with the Japanese special forces. Now the Japanese special forces are hidden in the ambush troops. Our special forces should participate in the battle in terms of reason or reason."
"In addition, according to the headquarters order, from now until the end of the battle, the special forces will obey the commander's command. Please do not take into account when giving orders. The more dangerous the task is, the more our special forces like it!"
"What I want is your words!" Brigade Commander Chen answered with satisfaction.
Then he ordered: "From now on, the special forces will follow the command center. In addition, Captain Wang, you stay in the command center when you have no mission and be the deputy chief of staff for me for a period of time. I know your abilities. If it weren't for some things, you would have been the brigade commander like me!"
"In addition, there is one more thing. This time, we have seized a lot of equipment from the Japanese special forces. I also want to form a special forces team, just one platoon."
"You have experience in forming the Captain Wang of the Special Forces Team. I want you to help, personnel, cadres, and all of them will be selected. There are a total of four main teams, and you will choose whoever you choose."
"Captain Wang, you are here for a day, and the special forces will train with you for a day and carry out missions with you."
Wang Ping had long wanted to promote the special operations methods throughout the Eighth Route Army, so Wang Ping agreed without thinking.
So, in the next one or two months, Wang Ping was not only the captain of the two special forces, but also the part-time deputy chief of staff of the 386th Brigade!
