Anti-Japanese War: Developing on my own, I brought back a US-equipped division

Su Zheng’s consideration was still very thoughtful.

Chu Yunfei did not continue to worry about where Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang went, but looked at Su Zhengdao and said, "Brother Su, your independent battalion has assembled in such a grand manner that it really opened my eyes!"

"But I believe Brother Su will not just talk about military strategy with me, right? I also want to see the combat effectiveness of the independent battalion!"

The Battle of Qili Town, the Battle of Wanjia Town, the Battle of Lijiaopo and other battles... these were all fought by the independent battalion.

However, Chu Yunfei had only heard about the powerful combat capability of the independent battalion, but had never experienced it personally.

So now Chu Yunfei wants to fight in person with the independent battalion and witness with his own eyes the independent battalion’s combat effectiveness and its performance on the battlefield.

Hearing is believing!

seeing is believing!

The real battlefield experience and the results heard from hearsay are completely different.

Su Zheng naturally understood what Chu Yunfei meant, and smiled and said, "Brother Chu, are you testing me?"

Chu Yunfei laughed and said, "No, no, no... This is not a test for Brother Su, but a humble learning experience!"

"This time Commander Yan asked us to form a senior officers exchange group to come to the Eighth Route Army for exchange and learning, so I hope Brother Su can give us some advice!"

"Any talk on paper is empty, only a real battle is real!"

Su Zheng: "Okay... Brother Chu, you're right... Brother Chu, don't you want to see our independent battalion fight a battle? Then I will definitely satisfy you!"

"Wait for two days...Wait for two days and I'll show you the true combat power of our independent battalion!"

After hearing this, Chu Yunfei was also looking forward to it: "Okay... I will stay in your place for a few days and ask Brother Su for advice!"

Chu Yunfei wanted to see the combat effectiveness of the independent battalion with his own eyes, so Su Zheng naturally tried to satisfy him.

It is impossible for Su Zheng to let go of so many big fish from the Japanese battlefield observation group just to hide his strength. That would be a loss.

Not hiding the strength is just to let Chu Yunfei feel the combat effectiveness of the independent battalion.

the other side.

Zhao Gang and Li Yunlong did not go to the battalion headquarters, not because they slept in, but because they went on a secret visit.

During the day, Su Zheng took Zhao Gang and Li Yunlong on a tour of the base, which was a good way to appreciate the customs of the base.

But Li Yunlong and Su Zheng felt that it was not enough, so they decided to go on a secret visit early this morning and chat with the villagers.

In order to achieve real communication, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang changed into ordinary people's clothes and pretended to be refugees who had just arrived in Xinzhong Village.

They wanted to hear the true reputation and situation of Su Zhenghe's independent camp.

Zhao Gang and Li Yunlong had already changed into ordinary people's clothes at this time, and they did not attract much attention when walking in this Xinzhong Village.

Li Yunlong said as he walked: "Old Zhao, is it really okay for us to go on a secret visit like this? It seems like we don't trust Su Zheng!"

Zhao Gang replied: "No, no, no... It's not that we don't trust Su Zheng, but we want to learn from Su Zheng's experience in building a base!"

"Since we want to study in depth, we must understand the villagers' feelings about Su Zheng and the independent camp's practices, so that we can better build a base!"

"Don't you want to build a base in Ma'an Village, where our current regiment headquarters is located?"

Now the headquarters of the new regiment is called Ma'an Village!

Li Yunlong nodded, not quite understanding: "Okay, I'll listen to you!"

Zhao Gang and Li Yunlong walked along the village road for a while, and soon saw a middle-aged woman, so they went up to her and said, "Auntie, hello?"

The middle-aged woman looked at Zhao Gang and Li Yunlong and felt that they looked unfamiliar. She asked, "You have just fled to Xinzhong Village, right?"

Li Yunlong nodded and said, "Yes... Auntie, you really have good eyesight!"

Zhao Gang: "Auntie, we just escaped to Xinzhong Village, so we want to know about the situation in Xinzhong Village. Can you talk to us?"

Auntie: "Of course... It's nice here... I dare say you can't find a better place than Xinzhongcun."

"It's really great here. Not only do we have a place to live, but we can also eat and wear warm clothes. It's really rare!"

A burst of praise!

The auntie was full of praise for the Xinzhongcun base!

Zhao Gang asked, "Auntie, are you originally from Xinzhong Village, or did you also flee here?"

The auntie replied, "I am just like you... I came here to escape the disaster from the next town."

"The village I lived in before was often raided by the Japanese or the puppet army's purgation operations. I heard that the Xinzhong Village base was developing well, but it was not stable, so I left my hometown and came here!"

"Now that you are here, you can settle down in Xinzhong Village. You don't have to worry too much about the Japanese raids. After all, we have the independent battalion to protect us!"

Zhao Gang asked again: "Is this independent camp reliable? What about us refugees? I'm afraid we have no place to stay!"

Auntie: "The Independent Battalion must be reliable... This is the anti-Japanese army that has always been fighting for the country and the people, and they have a good relationship with us ordinary people!"

“Everyone who enters Xinzhong Village, whether they are refugees or former villagers, are all one family!”

"The Independence Camp will provide some support to refugees like us, and will assign jobs to us based on our abilities. If you are capable, such as a doctor, nurse, repairman or worker, the Independence Camp will arrange a corresponding job for you."

"As for farmers like us, the independent camp will also allocate us plots of land for us to cultivate. In short, as long as we are willing to work hard in Xinzhong Village, we will definitely not starve to death."

Indeed, refugees who fled to Xinzhong Village should not dream of receiving any relief food or the like. It is impossible to just sit and wait for the independent battalion to distribute food.

All of them have to go to work.

This is the only way to ensure the development of the Xinzhongcun base.

If a group of refugees come to the Xinzhongcun base and just eat and do nothing, the independent camp will go bankrupt in less than three days!

Of course, the independent camp would still provide assistance to the hungry refugees who had just arrived at the Xinzhongcun base, but it would not be possible to provide such assistance for a long time.

Li Yunlong turned cold and asked, "Where do you live?"

The aunt pointed to the east end of the village and said, "Do you see the east end of the village? There are many houses under construction there. Those are our new homes!"

"In order to avoid trouble and problems, the logistics department of the independent camp allocated a piece of land for the refugees to build houses."

"If you want to build a house, then you can find the materials and build it yourself, or you can stay in the villagers' homes... But... you can't live in a village forever, so after you have a certain foundation, you must build your own house!"

Xinzhong Village is a village built on the mountain.

This village was originally quite large, but after the war, many villagers fled, causing the village to shrink significantly.

However, the entire Xinzhong Village still covers a very large area.

Because there is a valley to the east of the village, those areas can be developed.

When there were fewer people before, those places were not used.

But now there are more and more people, and many places can be developed.

In other words, there are many people living in Xinzhongcun now, but their daily lives and basic needs can still be met.

Zhao Gang and Li Yunlong listened to the aunt's words and probably understood how the independent camp dealt with the refugees.

Simply put, refugees can flee to Xinzhong Village to settle down, but they cannot be lazy and idle. They must join in the construction of the Xinzhong Village base and rely on their own hands to get enough food, water and clothes.

As long as these refugees are invested in building the Xinzhongcun base, the base will surely develop rapidly...

Chapter 147: Sell everything to support the independent battalion! Equip with self-produced American equipment (first update, please subscribe)

The independent camp has certain treatment policies for refugees to ensure that these refugees will not starve to death.

This series of actions caught both Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang by surprise.

If relevant policies are improved, these refugees can naturally be turned into productive forces for the construction and development of the Xinzhongcun base.

Zhao Gang looked at the aunt and said, "Then... Aunt, what do you think of the independent battalion and its commander?"

The auntie couldn't help but give a thumbs up and said, "Good... Of course they are good!"

"The Independent Battalion is a force that serves the country and the people. It ensures the safety of our Xinzhong Village base. We ordinary people feel at ease because of the Independent Battalion!"

"So...my son has also joined the Independence Camp. This is not only for the country, but also for ourselves!"

After these words were spoken, Zhao Gang and Li Yunlong looked at each other.

From the aunt's words, one can hear the pride she feels because her son participated in the Independence Camp.

In times of war, joining the army means the possibility of dying on the battlefield.

But the aunt is proud of this, which shows that she supports and recognizes the Independence Camp from the bottom of her heart.

The Independent Battalion is a unit that has always won the hearts of the people.

The aunt did not notice the changes in Zhao Gang and Li Yunlong's expressions, but continued: "The commander of the independent battalion, Su Zheng, is a hero, an anti-Japanese hero. As long as he is here, we ordinary people will feel more at ease!"

"Although Captain Su is a high-ranking official, he is humble and can get along well with ordinary people!"

"I think Captain Su is pretty good. He's a good commander!"

Li Yunlong nodded and said, "Okay... Thank you, Auntie, we got it!"

The auntie told Zhao Gang and Li Yunlong in a warning tone, "You two... I advise you to stay in Xinzhong Village, because it's really nice here!"

"If you escape to other places, it will definitely not be as good as Shinnakamura."

Zhao Gang smiled and said, "Okay...Auntie, thank you!"

When asking Auntie Tears about her opinion on the Independent Battalion and Su Zheng, the result was somewhat unexpected.

Praise!

There was great praise for the Independent Battalion and Su Zheng.

Li Yunlong walked and said, "Old Zhao, it seems that Su Zhenghe's independent battalion has a very good reputation among the people!"

Zhao Gang nodded and said, "Yes, this is a popular army!"

Next, Zhao Gang and Li Yunlong asked several passers-by and got similar results.

The villagers were full of praise for Su Zhenghe's independent camp's reputation and practices and were very grateful.

This truly reflects the true feelings of the people.

As he was walking, Zhao Gang saw a group of children playing, so he walked over, squatted down, looked at the group of children and said, "Children, I have a question for you."

One of the kids asked, "Uncle, what's going on?"

Zhao Gang asked: "Do you know Su Zheng?"

"Brother Su Zheng? He is the hero in our hearts, the patron saint of our Xinzhong Village!"

"Yes, yes, yes, when I grow up I want to join the independent battalion to fight the Japanese!"

"Brother Su Zheng is an anti-Japanese hero. I want to be like him when I grow up!"

"Uncle? Are you new to Xinzhong Village? That's because you don't know our brother Su Zheng!"

............

A group of children were answering each other.

Children don't lie.

What they say are their true feelings and thoughts.

The fact that a battalion commander is so loved by this group of children and they even call him Brother Su Zheng shows that there is indeed a close relationship between the military and the people.

It's well done.

very popular.

The incognito visit was almost over, and even a rough man like Li Yunlong seemed to have a lot of feelings and said: "Old Zhao, I suddenly know why the independent battalion can develop so fast. Maybe this is the reason!"

"With so much support from the people and such good reviews, it's only natural that we have the greatest support because we have won the hearts of the people!"

Zhao Gang: "That's right... The success of Su Zheng's Independent Battalion further proves that the path our Eighth Route Army is taking is correct."
