For example, the personnel structure, number of troops, and corresponding amount of equipment of this unit are all a mystery.
Under normal circumstances, with the perspective of a commission, it is impossible to take the strength of a regiment into consideration. It's just that the independent group is too dazzling. If you don't have such a force in your own hands, you won't be able to sleep at all.
When you show your face, you don’t have yourself, and when you are slapped in the face, you stand up. Who can bear this?
"There is no accurate number yet, but according to intelligence from all parties, there should be four to five thousand people. In addition, their equipment is quite advanced. Except for the German weapons you gave them, they are almost all Japanese equipment."
The intelligence committee was not satisfied with this, it was too vague. He wanted to find out all the details of the Independent Regiment.
"In this case, I will give you a warrant to select someone of similar status from the attendant's room to talk to Wen Youcai in person. You must pay attention to the attitude of your words. This person is very important to me."
The committee member finally decided to take action personally. He was worried that if he continued like this, he would soon lose control. If you keep letting it go, it will easily be developed by the opponent.
This kind of thing will never be tolerated by the committee.
The committee member thought for a while, wrote a letter, then solemnly stamped it with his seal, and then handed it over to his subordinates.
When he saw the attendants preparing to leave, the commissioner stopped him again, "Send them a batch of supplies and I'll give you a list."
As the saying goes, if you are reluctant to give up your children, you cannot catch the wolf, so the committee decided to increase investment and correct some previous mistakes.
The heroic achievements of the independent regiment were reported in the newspaper, which immediately caused huge waves. The article mentioned that when Wen San called on everyone to have the courage to join the revolution and jointly resist external humiliation, aspiring young people from all over the country took action.
Especially the elders in Sichuan, many families gave away their only remaining males. Under the leadership of people with lofty ideals, they began to quickly recruit new soldiers, prepare for training, and then join the independent regiment.
This is the Sichuan people's attitude towards war. Although the war is not as intense as mine, I feel the same way. To fight against the Japanese, we must go all out!
Many overseas Chinese are also taking active actions, preparing to send their useful materials and various talents back to the country to support this massive national salvation operation.
Wen San did not expect that his move would trigger a thousand waves, and the number of patriots paying attention to him and the independence group would suddenly increase countless times.
Even in the north, many big shots paid attention and considered whether to send someone to contact him. After all, Wen San's patriotism is visible to the naked eye, and his behavior is very different from that of government officials. What if he can win over it?
Only Chief Tang looked extremely ugly when he saw the news, and felt quite unhappy in his heart.
What else can you do besides scolding your mother?
"Is this Tamar the order of me alone? So many operational staff members in the headquarters are opposed, and the committee members have not said a word? In the end, it all falls on me..."
Chief Tang felt particularly wronged. It was all for the sake of resisting the war. Wen San became a hero, while I actually became a villain and the background of the independent group.
He found the battle report that was thrown in the corner again. If he didn't submit it at this time, the committee members would probably scold him for being narrow-minded and intolerant of others.
Wen San himself didn't realize how much of a disturbance he had caused.
After a hard night's work, his troops gathered at the scheduled time and then scattered around to hide and rest.
A lot was gained from last night's battle, weapons and ammunition were abundant again, and food was also replenished to a certain extent. In a short period of time, you don’t have to worry about these life security issues.
The only thing that gave Wen San a little headache was that the shells in Zheng Xiaoyu's hands were consumed too much, and this guy came to complain again.
"The Japs from the 16th Division have already escaped. You won't pay attention to the 13th Division, right?" Wen San looked at Zheng Xiaoyu and guessed what he was thinking.
Last night, the Japanese 13th Division rushed over all night long. As a result, the two Japs brigades had already been beaten and fled in panic, far away from where he originally set up camp.
The 66th Army also retreated to its own defense line and tightened the fence to prevent the 13th Division from launching a surprise attack on them.
"The Japanese 13th Division only came with more than 10,000 troops. With our strength, we can still do something about it." Zheng Xiaoyu laughed and bared his two front teeth, which was a bit arrogant.
"Don't worry, our troops have been fighting continuously recently and are almost at their limit. Let the soldiers have a good rest first and recuperate their spirits." Wen San is not a reckless person, and his troops have indeed been used a bit harshly recently.
There were hundreds of wounded soldiers in the army. Fang Mei and the others were busy all day long, which was quite hard.
The Japanese 16th Division was crippled, and Wen San had used each unit to its limit. The number of casualties among soldiers will also increase greatly, so there must be a relative transition period.
There are not that many people in the 13th Division. With the current equipment of the 66th Army, there is no problem in keeping them out of the defense line.
Take advantage of this free period to rest and reorganize your troops. As the saying goes, it is very beneficial to let them rest peacefully for a day.
Seeing that the group leader was unmoved, Zheng Xiaoyu had no choice but to go back angrily. His artillery battalion has many newbies, and they need to train quickly. The independent regiment's battles are getting bigger and bigger, and the artillery battalion's role has become more and more prominent.
Wen San's troops hid to rest. In the afternoon, a group of troops came over. Before the group of troops entered their assembly area, Wang Mazi relayed the news.
"It is said that the supplies sent to us by the commissioner include guns and ammunition, various types of artillery, as well as food and medicine." Wang Mazi's eyes narrowed with laughter, obviously because of the money.
"Hey, there are guests coming to give you gifts, so of course you can't turn them away. Come on, come with me and have a look." Wen San was in a good mood. How could he not want something he got for free?
In particular, weapons, ammunition, and medicine are the necessities of the independent regiment.
"The guy I'm looking at has his eyes rolling around. He's definitely not a good person. Leader, you have to be careful about him. As the saying goes, someone who treats someone softly will eat someone softly..."
Wang Mazi babbled, he was this kind of person himself, and of course he was very sensitive to the same kind of people.
"Isn't it just a sugar-coated cannonball? Let's eat the sugar coating first and then spit out the cannonball." Of course Wen San is not stupid. When the envoy sent him information at this time, he could use his toes to figure out what it meant.
But you know, you know, others have worked hard to bring the supplies to your door, how can you just say you don’t want them? Wen San was not a wealthy landlord, nor was he fat and oily. Of course, he couldn't let the meat that came to his door fly.
"Hello, Commander Wen, I am Zhou Xiulin, Colonel Staff Officer of the Commission's Attendant's Office. I have been ordered by the Commission to deliver supplies to your department." Zhou Xiulin pointed to the team behind him. It seems that the supplies sent this time are real. Quite a few.
