Chapter 16 News!

A new regiment.

Regiment headquarters.

"What?"

Ding Wei stood up from his chair suddenly, he looked at Cheng He with wide eyes, and his tone was full of disbelief:

"You... You repeat? ”

The shocked and incredulous expression of his own head made Cheng He subconsciously take a step back, and he paused before repeating the news he had just received:

"Regiment commander, the 150,000 rounds of ammunition we lent to Li Yunlong were pulled away by the brigade headquarters, and the brigade headquarters came to the news that considering that our regiment currently has enough ammunition reserves, it will be uniformly classified into the brigade headquarters ammunition depot, and will be distributed uniformly when needed."

"However, the brigade headquarters still gave us 10,000 rounds of ammunition, and also said that two veteran officers from Kang Da would be assigned to our regiment for a while."

Chenghe's voice just fell.

Ding Wei stood up with a slam and slapped the table with his left hand, with an expression of regret on his face:

"Labor and management shouldn't lend bullets to Li Yunlong!"

"Damn, now it's been pulled away by the brigade headquarters, why the hell do you want to come back?"

Ding Wei's heart is clear.

Don't think about it.

The batch of ammunition that the brigade headquarters pulled away will not come back.

It is said that it is distributed uniformly according to demand, but the new regiment is originally many times thicker than other regiments, and even if the Japanese army now encircles and attacks the base area on a large scale, those bullets will also be distributed to other regiments, and not a single grain will be returned to him.

As for sending someone to the brigade headquarters to ask for it, that's even more nonsense.

According to the "Regulations on the Management of Ammunition for Front-line Troops," after the end of each battle, each regiment must report on the ammunition situation, which will be managed and distributed by the higher authorities in a unified manner.

However, the garrisons of the various regiments were too scattered, the transportation and communication were inconvenient, and the front-line regiments had to face bandits at any time, the puppet army and the threat of the collapse of the national government, and low-intensity operations often occurred, so this regulation was not strictly enforced.

Most of the front-line troops stockpiled weapons and ammunition, and their superiors would not take the initiative to check this, as long as they didn't go too far.

But he saved more than 100,000 rounds, which is obviously seriously exceeded.

When I went to the brigade headquarters to ask for it, eighty percent of them were labeled as a standardist, and then they scolded him and drove him out.

The distressed Ding Wei gasped and paced back and forth in the regiment headquarters for a long time, but he couldn't swallow this breath.

150,000 rounds!

More than half of the stock of labor and management!

Li Yunlong has done me all the scourge!

Thinking about it, the more Ding Wei thought about it, the more angry he became, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this matter couldn't just be left alone, and he slapped it on the table again: "No, this matter is not over, I have to find Li Yunlong to get the bullet back, he borrowed it, so he should pay it back." ”

"As for whether the brigade headquarters pulls it away or not, labor and management don't care!"

As soon as he said it, he immediately called the guards: "Guards, bring me the horse, I want to go to Yang Village, where the independent regiment is stationed!" Li Yunlong has to pay it back if he doesn't pay it back today, otherwise I won't leave! ”

Regiment Commander, these ammunition were originally left by Li Yunlong... Cheng He on the side pursed his lips in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it, but reminded Ding Wei and said:

"Commander, I'm afraid that if Commander Li wants to pay it back, he can't pay it back."

Ding Wei suddenly stopped his movements, looked at Cheng He, and raised his eyebrows:

"How?"

"The brigade headquarters took away 80 tons of weapons and ammunition from the independent regiment, leaving only one ammunition reserve for the independent regiment for the campaign."

Cheng He said what he heard from the staff officer at the brigade headquarters:

"According to Staff Officer Luo of the brigade headquarters, Li Yunlong wanted to hide some weapons and ammunition at that time, but he caught it red-handed, and all the weapons and ammunition of the independent regiment were searched."

"Oh?"

This sentence immediately made Ding Wei interested, and he even repeated it: "The place where Li Yunlong hid weapons and ammunition was all searched out by the brigade headquarters, and all eighty tons of weapons and ammunition were taken away?" ”

"Yes!"

Cheng He's tone was very confirmed: "Even sixty-five big mules were taken away by the brigade headquarters and sixty horses. ”

"Hahaha·····"

Ding Wei was suddenly happy.

He waved away the guard, sat on the chair and crossed his legs, and smiled: "Only one base ammunition is left, it seems that Li Yunlong really made his superiors angry this time, and the superiors cut his wing feathers for him." ”

"Hahaha····· Let this kid jump! ”

Ding Wei and Cheng He took it for granted that the weapons and ammunition still retained were in accordance with the Eighth Route Army's own ammunition base standard.

According to the data set by the General Headquarters, the ammunition base of a 1,000-strong regiment is about 5 to 10 rounds per capita, and the actual situation is adjusted according to the weapons and equipment of each regiment, but the total number will not exceed 10,000 rounds.

Sitting on the chair and laughing wildly for a while, Ding Wei restrained his laughter and said to himself:

"It's okay to give only 10,000 rounds, it's okay, the rest of the 140,000 rounds can be used to support other troops, it's not easy for them, anyway, we still have them in the warehouse in the regiment."

"As for helping Li Yunlong twice, anyway, he also left a thousand rounds of 60 mortar shells and two mortars, so he didn't lose anything."

"And there are two veteran officers coming over, just in time to take the opportunity to expand the troops."

At this point, Ding Wei hooked the corners of his mouth and looked at Chenghe:

"You go and organize, recruit some people from the nearby militia ranks, expand the unit to 1,500 people, and the recruits will be directly inserted into each battalion in equal parts, and the commanders of each battalion will organize and arrange training, so as to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible."

"As for the two veteran officers, they will be assigned to the second and third battalions."

"Yes!"

Chenghe said calmly, his expression unchanged.

The veteran officers who graduated from Kang Da not only have a certain level of knowledge, but also have very rich experience in combat command, and can go directly to the position at the company level without running-in, which is very sought-after, and now, the new regiment lacks a company-level commander no matter which battalion it is.

He was the commander of the first battalion and an old subordinate of Ding Wei, so he naturally understood why the regiment commander assigned the two veteran officers to the second and third battalions.

"By the way, does Li Yunlong's independent regiment have any veteran officers assigned to the past?" Ding Wei asked.

"Yes..."

Hesitantly glanced at his own regiment commander, and Cheng He replied in a calm tone: "The brigade headquarters has assigned five veteran officers who graduated from Kang Da to the independent regiment. ”

The corners of Ding Wei's originally hooked mouth suddenly collapsed.

······

Shijiazhuang.

The north side is three kilometers away from Xinding County.

Or a slightly remote house.

Since the last time the heavy snow for more than ten days began, the weather around Shijiazhuang has been sunny, and the devils have already lifted the blockade, and the citizens of Xinding County have come out to bask in the sun after being busy.

Today, however, this slightly remote soy sauce shop is preparing to close.

"Boss, what are you going to do here?"

At the entrance of the store, a small man asked, who seemed to have come to buy soy sauce.

"Recently, the devil has been stuck tightly, the soy sauce has been sold out, no new goods have come in, it will be closed for a few days, and I will go back to my hometown in the countryside by the way." Without looking at the person who asked, the owner of the soy sauce shop sighed and left with a sad face.

The thin man also sighed and staggered towards the other shops.

"Old Song!"

At the intersection of the road to the countryside, a sturdy man approached the owner of the soy sauce shop who was hurrying away.

The owner of the soy sauce shop was obviously familiar with this person, and immediately greeted him with a smile:

"Old Sue"

"Did you get any news?" The man named Lao Su went straight to the point.

"The newly received order, the superiors asked us to organize the printing and distribution of a batch of newspapers, and then spread out."

The owner of the soy sauce shop took out an original newspaper from his pocket, and on the crumpled paper was a row of large headlines written clearly - come and not be rude, remember the special forces of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army·····

took the newspaper and looked at it, and the spirit of the man named Lao Su was suddenly shocked: "Haha, it turned out that they stirred up the devil's restlessness, and they ran five hundred miles to kill the devil Zhongzuo, which is exciting to hear." ”

"We've got to get it out of print."

Lao Song, the owner of the soy sauce shop, said in a solemn tone: "Now the matter in Shuangfeng Town has not passed, and the citizens of Shijiazhuang are still discussing this matter. ”

Although it has been nearly ten days since Shuangfeng Town was attacked, dozens of devils have all been killed, and it is not a trivial matter for the garrison headquarters and the devil soldier station to be burned.

This news has caused an uproar in Shijiazhuang and within a radius of several hundred miles.

Everyone is very curious, who is this, who can attack in the center of the devil's heavy army, and can escape the pursuit of the devil.

At this time, when it is publicized, it can definitely cause a sensation.

"No problem, the newspaper mimeograph machine in the village is very good, but the paper may not be enough." The strong man Lao Su nodded.

Strike while the iron is hot, and you need plenty of newspapers.

"I have the paper there, I'll send it to you in the afternoon, you start work first." Lao Song said.

Their newspaper mimeograph machine was slower to print and more cumbersome to prepare, and this time it was going to be printed in large quantities, so if they wanted to increase their output, they had to start working as soon as possible to increase the speed.

"Okay!"

The two immediately began to split up.

In the early morning of the next day, residents of Shijiazhuang and several nearby counties found that overnight, small newspapers were pasted on telephone poles, corners, and so on.

In some rough newspapers, a strong man in military uniform holds a shell gun with a fierce gaze, and below is a row of words.

"What's this?"

Most of the people were illiterate, but their curiosity was not lacking, and these newspapers attracted everyone's attention.

Of course, the main thing is that the devils and puppet soldiers are desperately tearing up these newspapers, and even beating and scolding people who are close to watching and holding the newspapers, which attracts people's interest even more.

What is written on this, it makes the devil so angry?

Taking advantage of the fact that the devils are not paying attention, many people secretly hide.

However, there are many literate people in this year, and someone soon deciphered it.

"This newspaper said that the incident in Shuangfeng Town not long ago was done by the Eighth Route Army."

"The Eighth Route Army?"

"Yes, the Eighth Route Army is said to have been made by a unit called the Independent Regiment, and the leader is called Zhang Dabiao, who is the one printed in the newspaper."

"We have the Eighth Route Army around here?"

"I came from Shanxi, and I ran 500 miles."

"Five hundred miles! So powerful? ”

"Yes, it is said that the cause is that a unit of the devil's special team called Yamamoto attacked the camp of the independent regiment, and the independent regiment got angry, so Zhang Dabiao attacked the devil Shuangfeng Town with more than a hundred people, and also killed a middle assistant of the Yamamoto special team in Shuangfeng Town."

"Only brought more than 100 people? Oh my God, there are nearly 10,000 devils around here! ”

"Amazing, it is said that this team is called special forces, that is, it is all masters to form a unit! Moreover, this Dabiao also warned the devil that in the future, in our Republic of China, you must keep your eyes open when you sleep, otherwise you will be careful of losing your head in the middle of the night! ”

"That's a great thing to hear!"

"A hundred or so people can come to the vicinity of Shijiazhuang? Fake it! ”

"Didn't a lot of people see it not long ago?! The devils in Shuangfeng Town are not all dead! Even some of their garrison headquarters were burned, and thousands of people were dispatched to blockade them for more than ten days. Can this be fake? ”

"Also, in this way, the devil is nothing more than that, a hundred or so people can go in and out."

Soon, the news recorded in the newspapers swept like a hurricane near Shijiazhuang, and then blew into the enemy-occupied areas of the entire North China Plain.
