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

So heartbreaking!

It's really heartbreaking!

It would be fine if they withheld military pay and logistics, or even failed to replenish ammunition and food in normal times...but this was a matter of life and death, and it concerned the war situation, and neither the Central Army nor the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army took any action. How could Li Deming not be disheartened?

Could it be that in the eyes of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army...the Sichuan Army is just cannon fodder?

To be honest, the headquarters of the Second War Zone has never been very friendly to the Sichuan Army, and sometimes even used them as cannon fodder, which is really speechless.

Su Zheng looked at Li Deming and said, "Now is a turbulent era. The situation is complicated and people's hearts are even more complicated. Anything can happen. "

Li Deming nodded and said nothing more.

Next, the Sichuan Army Independent Battalion and the Eighth Route Army Independent Battalion fought side by side.

Repairing the city wall fortifications, exchanging combat experience, sharing advanced weapons and equipment... Such actions of the Eighth Route Army Independent Battalion made the Sichuan Army soldiers feel that they were valued and cared for.

It feels good to be liked by others.

Li Deming, Meng Guangde, Sun He and others all saw it and kept it in mind.

Just as Su Zheng predicted, the night was peaceful.

The Japanese did not attack Teng County again.

Perhaps the 9th Brigade, to which the Nojima Battalion belonged, did not know that the Nojima Battalion had been completely wiped out.

It is probably the Nojima Battalion that can be completely wiped out in the offensive battle.

Nojima Kuraji did not expect that the independent battalion would suddenly appear... When they were about to capture Fuji County, the most elite independent battalion of the Eighth Route Army appeared.

It's just bad luck.

The night passed peacefully and calmly.

Seven o'clock the next day.

Teng County seat.

According to the superior's combat mission, the Sichuan Opera Independent Battalion only needs to hold on until seven o'clock.

It is now seven o'clock, which means that the Sichuan Army Independent Battalion has completed its combat mission.

If the Eighth Route Army Independent Battalion had not taken action, the mission would have been impossible to accomplish and the city would have been breached by evening yesterday.

Even if Li Deming and others entered the county town and engaged in street fighting with the Japanese, they would not be able to hold out for long.

Early the next morning, Su Zheng was ready to lead the independent battalion away.

However, before leaving, Li Deming, Meng Guangde and Sun He went to find Su Zheng.

Li Deming came to Su Zheng and said, "Captain Su...are you going back to the base?"

Su Zheng nodded and said, "Yes... After yesterday's rest... It's time for the troops to go back. What's the matter? Captain Li, is there anything wrong?"

Li Deming hesitated for a moment, glanced at Meng Guangde and Sun He, and said, "Captain Su... it's like this... all the soldiers of our Sichuan Army Independent Battalion want to join your Eighth Route Army Independent Battalion, is that okay?"

The Sichuan Army Independent Battalion is going to join the Eighth Route Army?

This is certainly a good thing!

Su Zheng wanted to incorporate this Sichuan Army unit.

Su Zheng hadn't mentioned it yet, but Li Deming took the initiative to bring it up.

This is good news for both the Independent Battalion and the Sichuan Army.

If the Eighth Route Army Independent Battalion had Sichuan Army soldiers and provided them with training, weapons and logistics, it would surely become a brave and capable force.

The Sichuan Army Independent Battalion has always lacked logistical support and was extremely short of ammunition and weapons. If it joins the Eighth Route Army Independent Battalion... then all these problems can be solved.

It's a win-win.

If the Second War Zone headquarters fails to solve the Sichuan Army's logistics and weapons problems and the Central Army and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army do not come to their rescue, then the Sichuan Army will have to find a solution on its own.

This result was also the result of Li Deming's careful consideration.

Li Deming's eye sockets are very dark.

He thought about it all night last night and finally made this decision.

It may be the best option for the Sichuan Army Independent Battalion to join the Eighth Route Army.

Hearing this, Su Zheng's face lit up. He stretched out his hand and shook hands with Li Deming, saying, "Of course... On behalf of the Independent Battalion, I welcome you to join us!"

"I have always admired the Sichuan Army. Your fighting power and will are not bad, but what you lack is logistical support and military rations and ammunition. As long as these are guaranteed... you will definitely be the backbone of the anti-Japanese war!"

Hearing Su Zheng's evaluation of the Sichuan Army, Li Deming felt gratified and at the same time felt like he had met a confidant!

Li Deming: "Captain Su...as long as you form an independent camp to keep our Sichuan Army, we Sichuan kids will never let you down!"

Su Zheng nodded and said, "Of course...I know!"

Without a river, there can be no army!

I'm not just saying this!

Sun He spoke again: "Captain Su... I know that our Sichuan Army has never been well received... So I hope that after joining the Eighth Route Army Independent Battalion, Captain Su will treat us equally!"

The actions of the Second War Zone Headquarters and the Chairman really disheartened many Sichuan Army soldiers.

Su Zheng: "That's inevitable... As long as we join the independent battalion... we will be brothers and comrades fighting side by side!"

"We drink together, eat together, fight together... We will never show favoritism!"

Sun He and Meng Guangde both breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Su Zheng's response.

They don't want to be looked down upon and treated differently after joining the independent camp.

Meng Guangde grinned and said, "Captain... Can you equip us with the M1 rifles of the soldiers entering the city? Those rifles are good stuff!"

The equipment of the independent battalion made the Sichuan Army soldiers jealous!

Su Zheng said: "You are talking about the M1 Garand rifle, right? That is American equipment. The number is limited at present, so it is impossible to equip the entire team. However, it is only a matter of time before our entire independent battalion is equipped with M1 Garand rifles!"

"But I can guarantee that after you join our independent battalion, you will have enough Type 38 rifles, light and heavy machine guns, grenades, and bullets. I guarantee that all the equipment you are using now will be replaced!"

Meng Guangde looked at Su Zheng and grinned, "Okay...it's OK with those equipment...the main thing is that there are enough bullets!"

Su Zheng: "Definitely enough!"

The Sichuan Army has been short of guns and bullets all along. They have had enough of this kind of life!

Li Deming looked at Su Zheng, straightened his face and said: "Okay... From now on, our Sichuan Army Independent Battalion will no longer exist, and all of us will join your Eighth Route Army Independent Battalion!"

Su Zheng spoke again: "Welcome to join us!"

"It doesn't matter where we fight the Japanese. Our independent battalion welcomes our Sichuan Army brothers to join us!"

The Sichuan Army joined the Eighth Route Army... This was not uncommon.

But it is still very rare for someone like Li Deming to join the Eighth Route Army with an entire battalion.

It can only be said that the defense battle of Teng County made Li Deming and other Sichuan troops see through the hearts of many people and was very disheartened.

Li Deming made such a choice only after careful consideration.

Moreover, this was not just the choice of Li Deming, Meng Guangde, Sun He and others, but the choice of all the soldiers of the Sichuan Army Independent Battalion.

The Sichuan Army soldiers who survived the Tengxian Defense War expressed their desire to join Su Zheng's independent battalion.

Some Sichuan Army soldiers even said that if their troops did not join the Eighth Route Army, they would leave the Sichuan Army and join the Eighth Route Army on their own.

This is what people want.

Seeing the Sichuan Army joining the Independent Battalion, the war correspondent Wu Xiaojin was also slightly stunned.

Not to mention Wu Xiaojin was shocked, even the boss was shocked when he found out about this...

Wu Xiaojin did not expect that the Sichuan Army would take the initiative to join the Eighth Route Army.

Perhaps this is what people want!

The independent battalion rushed to provide assistance, which deeply moved the Sichuan Army soldiers and gave them a new life.

Although Wu Xiaojin had just arrived at the Independent Camp not long ago, she suddenly felt the special charm and attraction of the Independent Camp and its commander Su Zheng.

Su Zheng made good use of this trip to Teng County.

Not only did they annihilate a battalion of thousands of Japanese devils, defeat the Eighth Route Army, and seize a large number of weapons and equipment, including the Type 92 infantry gun and other artillery.

At the same time, after the defense battle of Teng County, the Sichuan Army soldiers were also attracted to join the Eighth Route Army.

The independent battalion was able to recruit Sichuan Army soldiers...which would definitely be a great boost to the independent battalion.

In accordance with the orders from superiors, after 72 hours, or three days, of stationing in Teng County, the Sichuan Army Independent Battalion retreated on its own and caught up with the main force.

But now that the mission has been accomplished, the Sichuan Army Independent Battalion has joined the Eighth Route Army Independent Battalion.

Because the Sichuan Army Independent Battalion was "all sacrificed" in the defense of Teng County, and because the attitude of the Second War Zone Headquarters, the Chairman, and the nearby Shanxi Suiyuan Army and Central Army made them feel disheartened.

If the Eighth Route Army Independent Battalion had not arrived in time, all the Sichuan troops in Teng County would have been killed in action.

After being rescued by Su Zheng's Independent Battalion, the Sichuan Army Independent Battalion was reborn, joined the Eighth Route Army's Independent Battalion, and became Eighth Route Army soldiers.

This is the transformation!

Now that the mission was accomplished, Li Deming led the soldiers of the Sichuan Army Independent Battalion and Su Zheng away, heading towards the Xinzhong Village base.

Because the Sichuan Army suffered heavy casualties in the defense of Teng County, there were naturally many wounded soldiers and the marching speed was relatively slow.

At around three or four o'clock in the afternoon, Su Zheng and his group returned to the Xinzhong Village base.

After entering the Xinzhongcun base, the Sichuan Army soldiers were stunned by the prosperity of the base.

They didn't expect that the base of the Su-640 Independent Battalion would be so prosperous. It was completely beyond their imagination and expectations.

So shocking!

Such prosperity feels like a paradise.

It is really not easy to see such a prosperous village in troubled times.

This shows that the independent battalion has developed the Xinzhongcun base quite well.

Arriving at the camp, Su Zheng saw Chen Yi and Xiao Ya and said, "Chen Yi, Xiao Ya, I just wanted to find you!"

"These Sichuan Army soldiers have joined our independent battalion. Chen Yi, you will be responsible for handling the relevant formalities and preparing brand new Eighth Route Army uniforms, military shoes, and logistics suits for them to ensure their logistical support!"

"Also prepare weapons and equipment for them, and replace the equipment they have now!"

Chen Yi nodded and said, "Yes, Captain!"

Su Zheng then looked at Xiao Ya and said, "Xiao Ya, many of these Sichuan Army soldiers are injured. Please arrange for the army doctors to treat them!"

"Just follow the treatment plan and procedures of our independent camp!"

Xiao Ya: “Yes!”

After Su Zheng settled this Sichuan Army unit, he finally had time to rest.

For Li Deming's Sichuan Army troops, Su Zheng formed a Sichuan Army company, which was composed entirely of Sichuan Army soldiers.

The Sichuan Army company was led by Li Deming as company commander and Sun He as deputy company commander.

Basically, it was reorganized from the original Sichuan Army Independent Battalion.

In the evening, Wu Xiaojin, who had rested well, found Su Zheng.

At this time, Su Zheng was looking at the combat situation map and the analysis of the enemy and our own situation.

Just today, Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment was transferred to the vicinity of the independent battalion's base defense zone.

Qian Bojun's 358st Battalion, the main force of the 20th Regiment, was directly approaching the Xinzhongcun base less than kilometers away.

Such an operation really made Su Zheng a little confused.

Could it be that the 358th Regiment is used to guard against its own independent battalion?

I don’t understand this operation... Can the small 358th Regiment be a match for the independent battalion?
