"Thank you for the brigade commander for your praise. These are the results of the comrades' efforts together!" Wang Ping said modestly.

The brigade commander waved his hand and replied: "It should be your credit, it is your credit, there is nothing to be humble. You only told me about the general situation of the new regiment in the telegram. Now I am here, you need to know the specific situation, the more detailed the better!"

"Yes! Brigade Commander!" Wang Ping answered immediately.

"To be precise, there are a total of 1,582 prisoners in our hands. After this period of mobilization, 1,149 people are willing to join our Eighth Route Army, and more than 200 people are hesitating!"

"After identifying, 966 prisoners who were willing to join our Eighth Route Army agreed to join the Eighth Route Army, and the remaining one or two hundred people were unable to join the main force due to various reasons such as being old or injured. But I plan to organize them into the logistics force of our New Regiment and strive to establish the new Regiment's own logistics support!"

"As long as the brigade department agrees to the reorganization plan of the new first regiment, these more than 900 new recruits will be able to supplement the troops for cooperation in training!"

After thinking about it, Brigade Commander Chen replied: "In addition to the original force of the new regiment, it is more than 1,200 people smaller, which is exactly the organization of a regiment. How do you plan to reorganize it? More specific, the more detailed the better!"

"First form three main battalions, each of which includes three main companies, a heavy machine gun platoon and a guard platoon, with a total force of 500!"

"Each main company includes three combat platoons, one directly under the guard squad, one small artillery squad, that is, the Japanese grenade squad! A kitchen squad, plus the company's cadres and documents, and a total of 150 troops!"

"The combat platoon includes three ten-person infantry squads, a machine gun team, plus the chief and deputy squad leader, a total of 35 people!"

"The regiment's direct troops include a new battalion, a guard company, an artillery company, a baggage transport company, an engineer platoon, a communication platoon, and a health center..."

"The total strength of the regiment is tentatively set to be two thousand!"

The brigade commander nodded and affirmed: "The staffing is very complete, I have nothing to say. But you only have more than 1,200 people in your hands, how can you solve the problem of the remaining seven or eight hundred people!"

Wang Ping immediately expressed his thoughts: "I plan to let the first and second battalions and the guard company, the artillery company be fully organized, and other battalions and companies set up the racks. When there are new recruits in the future, they can directly make up for combat effectiveness!"

"Yes, just do what you said. I have no objection. Try to select from the existing cadres of the New First Regiment as much as possible. The brigade department also lacks cadres, so it is impossible to send them to you. You can make sure first, just report to me after you have confirmed it. I will ask the political commissar to make a decision for you!"

In the next two days, Wang Ping locked himself in the command center.

Because the political commissar of the New First Regiment is all carried on one shoulder, and the New First Regiment has no chief of staff, so whoever is the battalion commander or the company commander can only decide on Wang Ping.

The only thing that made Wang Ping glad was that the backbone of the New First Regiment was still there, and among the puppet troops who were willing to join the Eighth Route Army, many of them were former lower-level officers of the Jinsui Army, well-trained, and there was no problem with the platoon leader on the shift.

The brigade commander was not idle either. Based on the information collected by the Xinyi Regiment outside the mountain, he compared the map for two days.

"Brig Commander, this is the appointment of the new regiment personnel that I have confirmed. Are you looking at it?" Wang Ping interrupted the brigade commander who was thinking and then delivered the list to the brigade commander!

"Will Zhong succeed in becoming the Chief of Staff of the New First Regiment be promoted faster?" As soon as he saw the beginning, the brigade commander frowned.

Seeing that Wang Ping was not speaking, the brigade commander continued to ask: "Can you be promoted in terms of ability? After all, two months ago, he was just a deputy battalion commander. Are the deputy battalion commander and the regiment chief of staff two completely unrelated positions?"

Wang Ping was very optimistic about Zhong Chenggong and said directly: "The time might be a little worse half a month ago, but after this anti-encirclement and suppression, he made great progress. He was able to be competent for two months in the position of Chief of Staff!"

The brigade commander immediately heard what Wang Ping said: "Okay, then that's him!"

The next battalion commander, the company commander, was too far away from the brigade commander. After just a glance, the brigade commander agreed.

"Bang..." At this moment, a faint sound of gunfire suddenly came.

Whether it was Wang Ping or Brigade Commander Chen, both of them were veterans on the battlefield. They judged by the sound that the gunshots came from at least two kilometers away. Therefore, after looking at each other, neither of them panicked.

However, as the host and the brigade commander are here, Wang Ping must ensure the absolute safety of the station.

"Building Commander, don't worry, I'll find out what's going on right away and absolutely ensure the safety of the station."

In the next ten minutes, Wang Ping heard several gunshots 66 more, from far to near, and the sound became louder and louder. But just as he sent Li Wen over and prepared to let him find out what was going on, the intermittent gunshots stopped suddenly.

In the end, before Li Wen came back, Zhong Chenggong, who taught the prisoners in the prisoner camp, rushed back first.

"Captain, the gunfire just now must have been the puppet troops entering the mountains to attack!"

"Drugs are like crazy during this period. They sent a large number of puppet troops into the mountain every day. Every time they advance, they fired a shot to boost their courage. Our patrol troops and guard posts have arrested more than 100 people in a row. The Japanese have not yet had a good memory and continued to send people into the mountain. Don't they know that the mountains are the world of our Eighth Route Army?"

"I guess this second Japanese man escaped our patrol, and then the gunshots came. The gunshots stopped just now. It was the patrol that followed the gunshots and captured him!"

Wang Ping thought it was not as simple as Zhong Chenggong.

In Wang Ping's eyes, the Japanese were not only not stupid, but also very smart.

Especially Major General Matsumoto, the newly appointed brigade commander of the Japanese Army in Linfen, is definitely a very difficult opponent.

The puppet army continued to send people into the mountains because they lost so much money in succession. It must be that the Japanese did this to achieve some secret that they didn't know.

Before he knew it, Wang Ping's brows were already frowning, staring at Zhong Chenggong and asked, "When did this start, why not report it?"

Zhong Chenggong was frightened by Wang Ping's seriousness and quickly explained: "It started seven or eight days ago, because all the puppet troops were caught, and nothing useful was found from them. I just treated them as scouts who spyed on our intelligence by the Japanese, and sent them to the prisoner camp for ideological education and ignored them!"

"During this period, more than a dozen puppet troops were sent back by patrol every day, and they were all used to it!"

Seeing Wang Ping's face becoming more and more serious, Zhong Chenggong continued: "Captain, is there any conspiracy in this? Don't you scare me!"

"I'm sure, things are not as simple as you imagined!" Wang Ping said affirmatively.

"Although the Japanese don't treat these puppet troops as human beings, they have spent money to train. It would be too generous to just send them to us as prisoners in vain!"

Zhong Chenggong also frowned: "Think about it seriously and it's true!"

"I will lock these prisoners up alone now, maybe there will be Japanese intelligence officers hidden inside!"
