Bright Sword: Construction starts from southeastern Shanxi

The political commissar at the side looked at Yang Kai's excited face, and suddenly thought of something, and immediately gave Yang Kai an instruction.

“Yang Kai, don’t smile like a chrysanthemum.”

"The equipment has been given to your regiment now. If the regiment's combat effectiveness fails, you will have to take the blame with the brigade commander!"

When Yang Kai heard the political commissar's words, he immediately stood up and saluted Zhang Jing and Peng Zhufeng.

"Commissar, don't worry!"

"I will definitely lead this local regiment out. I won't bring shame to the regiment commander and the political commissar."

Hearing Yang Kai's words, Zhang Jing and Peng Zhufeng immediately felt relieved.

Yang Kai was the company commander of their battalion before the expansion of the troops. After the Second Battalion was expanded into the 758th Regiment, in order to support the local regiment, Yang Kai, the third company commander, was sent to the local area to serve as the commander of the local regiment.

At present, there are about nine companies in the Pingding local regiment, which basically meets the requirements of a regiment.

The rest depends on whether Yang Kai can fully staff this regiment according to the plan of the main force.

The reason they only asked for the standard weapons and equipment for a battalion was that they didn't have many other requirements except that they were planning to expand a battalion.

It is their duty to strengthen the strength of the local pacification group, and it is also the requirement of the previous division commander to the subordinate troops.

In order to prevent the subordinate troops from blindly expanding their forces, Zeng Jiwen once issued an order that each regiment was only allowed to expand one battalion of troops in principle, and the excess troops were to be added to the local regiments.

After all, everything is on the right track in the Tainan Military Region at this time, and by the end of the year, it will basically be able to provide daily necessities to the troops below.

At this time, the construction of the troops must also begin to be regularized.

At present, the military region has not formed a special camp for new recruits. All soldiers joining the Eighth Route Army must first join the local militia guerrillas, and then after simple training, go to the local regiment to participate in the rest of the training.

The military sub-district headquarters will then draw personnel from local regiments to supplement the combat personnel of the main force based on the vacancies in each regiment.

All that Zeng Jiwen did was to prevent the commanders of the troops below from developing factionalism and blindly drawing on local troops to expand the force, resulting in uneven strength among the regiments.

Now we are just asking each regiment to tilt towards the troops in its own jurisdiction. Once things are completely stabilized, military commanders at all levels must also start rotating and mobilizing troops.

After everyone finished discussing, the 758th Regiment's mission was basically completed successfully. Peng Zhufeng immediately ordered someone to report the situation back to the brigade headquarters, and waited for the latest instructions from the brigade headquarters while suppressing the Japanese troops defending Yangquan.

At 2:00 p.m. on the 3rd, Xiaobai Township.

At this time, Sun Yuqing and others also received a telegram from the 758th Regiment. At the same time, the sniping situation of the 756th and 759th Regiments was also reported.

According to the information reported by the other two regiments.

After the 757th Regiment occupied Ceshi Town, Yangquan did not send troops to support it. At the same time, after the 759th Regiment captured Yinlingzhi Town, the 132nd Regiment under the 25th Brigade stationed in Shouyang sent a battalion to support it, but it was firmly blocked by the 759th Regiment on the outskirts of Yinlingzhi Town.

Shortly afterwards, the brigade withdrew to Shouyang after losing a squadron.

The 758th Regiment achieved the greatest results.

Thanks to the local operations in Pingding before, the 758th Regiment quickly captured Pingding without causing too many casualties.

After taking Pingding, they defeated two battalions of the 117th Regiment, forcing the remaining troops of the 117th Regiment to flee back to Yangquan in a hurry like a stray dog.

According to news from the Seventh Division, the 52nd Regiment of the 104th Brigade stationed in Jingxing had returned to Yangquan at noon.

At this time, the 79th Regiment of the 40th Brigade of the 20th Division stationed in Shijiazhuang was guarding Jingxing.

After a few people read the news reported by several regiments.
