After taking over the Japanese and puppet army stronghold in Shuiquan Village, Cheng Xiao, the instructor who educated the prisoners behind, and Wang Ping, who was ambushing the front, arrived here almost at the same time.

After a brief greeting, Wang Ping directly decided to temporarily station the Independence Battalion in the original Japanese and puppet army stronghold in Shuiquan Village.

The former Japanese squad leader's office has now become an independent battalion department.

Wang Ping sat in a position that should have been the Japanese squad leader. Instructor Cheng Xiao, deputy battalion commander Zeng Quan, and several company platoon leaders sat around the table that was temporarily pieced together in front of Wang Ping.

Although no one spoke, it can be seen from the smiles on everyone's faces that everyone sitting here is very happy at this moment.

After all, the Independent Battalion just won a victory, and it was a big victory!

At Wang Ping's warning, Cheng Xiao stood up and said, "Battery Commander, and comrades, let me talk about the achievements on my side first. There are 58 prisoners in total, and after identification and mobilization of 46 people are willing to join our Eighth Route Army!"

"After statistics, these people are veterans who have been in the army for at least one year and are captured only after being forced to follow the commander. There is no other problem, and you can fight by joining the army. I mean, arrange them to the army as soon as possible!"

"Yes!" Wang Ping agreed without thinking.

In Wang Ping's view, as long as these former Jinsui Army and Central Army are used well, they are all treasures.

These people played a great role in the reason why the Eighth Route Army was able to develop rapidly in the early stages of the War of Resistance.

Of course, these people come from the Jinsui Army after all. If they cannot integrate into the Eighth Route Army as soon as possible, they will definitely join the group. The most taboo thing about the Eighth Route Army is to join the group in the army and mountain doctrine.

So, as soon as he said that, Wang Ping then added: "But these people must be scattered. Three companies and one in a row is divided into fifteen, and one extra one is given to the artillery platoon. Never let them join in groups and appear on the hill!"

Cheng Xiao is an old political worker. He could see Wang Ping’s concern at a glance and immediately said, “Don’t worry, battalion commander, I will explain to the following three instructors!”

Wang Ping nodded and then asked Zeng Quan: "Old Zeng, tell me what you have gained!"

"Twenty-four Japanese and thirteen puppet troops were all destroyed. Five of them surrendered. There were not many weapons captured, but there was a intact heavy machine gun and twenty-eighth bulbs!" Zeng Quan replied modestly!

"However, there are many other seized. After all, this group of Japanese and puppet troops has been operating here for a month. Not to mention anything else, there are 1,358 silver dollars alone, and 16 small yellow croaker and a batch of various gold and silver jewelry. I have already sealed all of them!"

"There are also a lot of other supplies, especially the canned food standard for the Japanese field troops, which are more than 230 boxes and more than 600. When I asked, I found out that the Japanese and puppet troops were snatching beef and mutton around for more than a month. The canned food sent by Laiyuan City has almost never been moved. In addition, there are more than 2,000 kilograms of white flour, which is enough for our independent camp to eat for ten days!"

"The harvest is also good!" Wang Ping nodded with satisfaction, and then ordered Cheng Xiao: "Old Cheng, you will be in charge of all the seizures. White flour and canned food, comrades can eat as much as they can. In terms of gold and silver, except for taking some silver dollars to recruit soldiers, the rest will be sealed and handed over to the military sub-district in the future!"

Cheng Xiao is undoubtedly the happiest. As a instructor, recruiting soldiers is unrestrained.

But if you don’t have money, you can’t even afford the minimum settlement fee. Even if the people here believe in the Eighth Route Army, few of them are really willing to join the Eighth Route Army.

But having money is different. Even if a recruit is only two yuan for a family settlement fee, for ordinary people, two yuan to buy food is enough for the family to eat for several months. This makes everyone more motivated to join the Eighth Route Army and reduces everyone's worries about their family.

So, Cheng Xiao replied excitedly: "I have won the battle and now I have military expenditure again. I promise to recruit enough new recruits for our independent battalion in the shortest time!"

Wang Ping immediately said, "Old Cheng, what I want is your words! Next, I will ask Zhang Yunshan to report to everyone the results of the ambush."

For soldiers, equipment is their second life.

So, as soon as Wang Ping finished speaking, everyone pricked their ears and waited for Zhang Yunshan to report.

The harvest that Wang Ping had in the ambush battlefield was definitely the biggest. As soon as Zhang Yunshan finished speaking, the small battalion command became lively. Especially several company platoon leaders, all shouted to ask Wang Ping to make up for all the equipment they lacked.

"Okay, I will make up for you all the equipment, and there will be no less!" Wang Ping suddenly interrupted!

"In addition to the fifteen people the instructor is preparing to supplement you. Each company can have a main platoon, a guard squad, a grenade squad, and a heavy machine gun squad. According to my original promise, four crooked handles and three grenade squads. Now I will make up for you all, and all the missing 38 covers will be added to you! However, I also have requirements. With equipment and people, you must train me well, train the troops well, and prepare for the next battle at any time!"

"As for the heavy machine gun squad, the first company and the second company will first be one company and one thrust. After the seizure, the third company will be equipped with it. Moreover, the machine guns of each heavy machine gun squad must reach two!"

"There is an extra crooked hand, and the guard platoon is temporarily equipped!"

"It's just that. As for the remaining rifles, all of them will be handed over to the instructors. After recruiting new recruits, they will be trained temporarily. The same rules are still the same. Each new recruit has thirty bullets of live ammunition, so that they can form combat effectiveness as soon as possible and replenish the troops. There will be a big battle waiting for us next!"

When the war was mentioned, the people below were shining.

After all, the Independent Battalion has never been defeated in the war with Wang Ping, and each battle has suffered small losses and large seizures!

Wang Ping did not explain to everyone, waved his hand and signaled everyone to leave, and focused his attention on the map of Laiyuan County that had just been seized from the Japanese!

Cheng Xiao did not li, but frowned and asked, "Battery Commander, what you said is the big battle should be the revenge of the Laiyuan City Japanese devils!"

Seeing Wang Ping nodding by default, Cheng Ji said, "We will eat one of their squadrons within a period of time. This matter must not be hidden from the Japanese in the city. If they want to leave the city to retaliate against us, at least they will have to send an infantry brigade!"

"With our current strength, we are definitely not the opponent of the Japanese infantry brigade. If the Japanese really leave the city to retaliate against us, I will contact our independent battalion or temporarily withdraw the base!"
Chapter completed!
