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

After Su Zheng, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang finished their farewell words, they all bowed towards the tombs and tombstones.

The angle of the bow is ninety degrees!

A very standard and heavy bow.

As Su Zheng, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang bowed, the military cadres behind them, including Zhou Weiguo, Lei Zifeng, Li Dabenshi and the soldiers of the independent battalion, also bowed.

All of them are standard 90-degree bows!

Even Chu Yunfei and Sun Ming who were standing nearby bowed.

Because they also admire these heroes!

honourable.

The bowing lasted for a full minute.

A minute later, the bow was completed.

Su Zheng straightened his body and said in a wolf voice: "Guard of Honor, fire your guns and salute!"

The independent battalion has a guard of honor that uses the Zhongzheng rifle.

The Zhongzheng rifle is actually a domestic version of the German standard Mauser rifle. It uses a 7.92mm pointed Mauser rifle bullet. It is basically domestically made and is the first standard rifle in modern China.

The entire Zhongzheng rifle has a total length of 1.110 meters, a barrel length of 600 mm, an initial velocity of the bullet of 810 meters per second, a sight range of 2,000 meters, but an effective range of 1000 meters.

It can be said that the power of the Zhongzheng rifle is not much worse than that of the Type 38 rifle.

The reason why the Zhongzheng rifle was used to salute the fallen soldiers also reflected Su Zheng's thoughts: most of these soldiers died under the Type 38 rifles of the Japanese devils. If the Type 38 rifle was used to salute, it would obviously be inappropriate, but using their own domestically produced Zhongzheng rifle would be appropriate.

The soldiers of the logistics honor guard, who had been prepared long ago, began to load bullets into their Zhongzheng rifles in unison.

Click...

Pull the bolt to load the gun.

Click...

After loading the guns, all the soldiers pointed their guns towards the sky at a 45-degree angle.

Snap...

Pull the trigger with the same motion.

bang bang bang...

In an instant, a series of neat gunshots rang out.

Each soldier fired three shots in succession.

bang bang bang...

bang bang bang...

Three shots in a row.

The sound of gunfire was uniform and orderly.

Firing a salute is to comfort the souls of the sacrificed soldiers of the Independent Battalion, allowing them to rest in peace amid the sound of gunfire.

The entire condolence and farewell process lasted more than half an hour.

Chu Yunfei, who witnessed the whole process, sighed with emotion: "If all Chinese people are like this, how dare the Japanese invaders? With 100,000 young men and 100,000 soldiers, the Japanese invaders will be eliminated!"

Sun Ming nodded: "Yes."

Half an hour later, after the entire memorial ceremony was over, Su Zheng and his party returned to the battalion headquarters.

At this time, all the military cadres of the independent battalion were present, and Su Zheng immediately convened a military meeting.

Li Yunlong, Chu Yunfei, Zhao Gang and others all attended the military meeting.

at the meeting.

Su Zheng looked at Zhou Weiguo, Lei Zifeng, Yang Zhihua, Zhao Donghai and others present, and said, "Everyone... you also participated in the memorial and research silence ceremony just now!"

"I asked you all to participate because I want you to understand that although we won this battle, 1754 of our fellow soldiers are buried here. We who are still alive enjoy the honor and military merit, but I want to say that the ones who deserve these honors and military merits the most are these sacrificed soldiers!"

"Without their fearless sacrifice, there would be no victory in this battle!"

"So we who are still alive should not be complacent... and think we are great. We should be more grateful to those warriors who sacrificed their lives fearlessly!"

"have you understood?"

"understand!"

Zhou Weiguo, Lei Zifeng, Li Dabenshi, Yang Zhihua, Sun Desheng and others all responded loudly.

Su Zheng nodded slightly and said: "Very good... There is another purpose for holding a military meeting at this time!"

"That is, everyone present should summarize this battle and share their experiences, insights, and shortcomings with each other!"

"Only in this way... can we better deal with the Japanese next time! And we will sacrifice fewer soldiers!"

Constantly summarizing combat experience, improving combat tactics, and enhancing the combat effectiveness of soldiers...only this can enable the independent battalion to transform.

...... .. ...

Afterwards, everyone present began to express their experiences and conclusions from this battle.

This is very important.

Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, Chu Yunfei and others were listening nearby and learned a lot from the experience.

Su Zheng did not hide anything from them.

After all, we are all friendly forces fighting against Japan.

However, Su Zheng will not reveal all his cards.

For example, the Arsenal's trump card has not been revealed.

And although the system rewarded the Barrett sniper rifle, Gatling machine gun, and Gatling machine gun production line, Su Zheng did not redeem them so quickly, mainly because Chu Yunfei was there.

Chu Yunfei is a friendly force now...but he will be an enemy in the future.

Of course you have to be careful.

Lei Zifeng, Li Dabenshi, Zhou Weiguo, Sun Desheng, Yang Zhihua and many others expressed their own summary of experiences and shortcomings.

Finally, Su Zheng made a final summary.

Su Zheng looked at everyone present and said, "You have talked about a lot of summaries, experiences, and shortcomings, but in fact, they can be summarized into two aspects."

"First, it's a question of the soldiers' combat qualities and personal combat effectiveness!"

"Second, that is the problem of weapons and equipment!"

"The combat effectiveness and quality of the soldiers are indeed insufficient due to the limited training time. Especially this time on the battlefield, there are many new recruits who have just been trained for a short time. This is indeed a problem!"

"So next we have to strengthen the training and cultivation of new recruits, seize every opportunity to train new recruits and improve their combat effectiveness."

The independent battalion, which originally had a total of more than 3,000 people, has now been reduced to more than 1,500 people after this major battle, leaving only the strength of a regiment.

The strength of the troops was reduced from two regiments to one regiment.

This is the cruelty of war.

Although the 4th Brigade was annihilated, the casualties among the group were also considerable.

Therefore, in the next period of time, Su Zheng and the independent battalion will need to rest and develop for a certain period of time.

Su Zheng continued: "As for the problem of weapons and equipment... don't worry, I will do my best to solve the problem of weapons and equipment!"

"It probably won't be long before our battalion can fully update its equipment!"

If all the equipment is replaced with American equipment...that would be awesome.

PS: I will add one more chapter for the reward. If there is no reward or subscription, there will only be five chapters today.

Chapter 180 Li Yunlong and Chu Yunfei were shocked: The independent battalion is too strong (more updates, please subscribe)

Replacing with American equipment is Su Zheng’s wish.

After all, we already have the M1 Garand rifle and the Gatling M134 Gatling production equipment.

But the only thing missing is the raw materials for production.

Among the raw materials for production, copper has been basically solved.

Because there is a copper mine near the Xinzhongcun base.

But at present we are still lacking raw materials such as iron ore and saltpeter, which are the big problems.

It is precisely because of the limitations of these raw materials that the current production efficiency of the arsenal is not high.

Su Zheng looked at everyone present and said, "Although our current equipment is not very advanced, it is much more advanced and sophisticated than most Eighth Route Army troops and the Japanese troops."

"Once we get new equipment, we'll be able to crush them in terms of weapons!"

Indeed, the equipment of the independent battalion is much better than that of most of the Eighth Route Army troops and the Japanese troops.

But there is still no way to achieve a crushing advantage.

"yes!"

Zhou Weiguo, Lei Zifeng, Li Dabenshi and others all responded loudly.

Afterwards, everyone expressed their opinions on the tactics of this operation, and then the military meeting ended.

After everyone left, Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, Chu Yunfei and others also left, and Su Zheng kept Chen Yi and Xiao Ya.

Su Zheng looked at the two "623" women and said, "Chen Yi, Xiao Ya, your next task is quite heavy!"

"On the one hand, we need to properly handle the funeral affairs of the fallen soldiers. These must be handled well!"

"On the other hand, you have to do a good job of recruiting soldiers!"

"In this battle, our independent battalion lost more than half of its troops, so we must recruit new soldiers as soon as possible to replenish our troops!"

Chen Yi and Xiao Ya both responded loudly: "Yes!"

These are rather troublesome and difficult tasks.

Afterwards, Su Zheng gave some instructions on the related work, and the rest was up to them to implement it.

In the next few days, Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, Chu Yunfei and others also stayed in the Xinzhong Village base.

They just wanted to see how the independent battalion dealt with the aftermath of the war.

After the war, the independent battalion's post-war pensions and post-war treatment of injuries and illnesses were very sound and complete, and it had sufficient material support to support the implementation of these follow-up tasks.

Not to mention, just paying the soldiers' pensions requires a lot of money.

However, Su Zheng had accumulated wealth from several major wars, and had also received a lot of dollars and gold from the Black Wind Village, Feihuling Village, Qingfeng Village and other mountain strongholds, which were enough to support the payment of pensions.

It can be said that the independent battalion did a better job in post-war work than the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.

This also opened the eyes of Li Yunlong, Chu Yunfei and others.

Li Yunlong wanted to learn Su Zheng's method, but he did not have sufficient material support.

There are so many people in the New 1st Regiment, where will they get so much pension?

This is also a very helpless thing.

The Su Dynasty was extremely wealthy and had a strong material base, so it was able to provide material and spiritual comfort to the sacrificed soldiers.

After spending so many days in the Xinzhongcun base, Li Yunlong, Chu Yunfei and Zhao Gang have broadened their horizons and truly experienced the power of the Suzheng Independent Battalion.

This is also preparing to leave the Xinzhongcun base.

The night before leaving the Xinzhongcun base.

Su Zheng hosted a banquet and warmly entertained the three people.

The dinner table.

Everyone took their seats.
