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

Zhu Ziming then recounted the situation of the new regiment’s headquarters.

Yamamoto Ikki nodded, smiled slightly and said: "Mr. Zhu... Very good, you are very cooperative!"

"I can let you go now... The task I give you is also very simple. Collect as much intelligence information as possible about the independent battalion. It would be best if you can be transferred to the independent battalion and become our insider!"

Zhu Ziming nodded and said, "Okay... I'll try my best!"

Yamamoto Ikki’s idea now is very simple, which is to let Zhu Ziming infiltrate the Independent Battalion and become his insider to assist him in clearing out the Independent Battalion headquarters.

Under torture and oppression, Zhu Ziming betrayed the Eighth Route Army and became a traitor.

At the same time, he was on a path of no return.

After coming out of the cell, Yamamoto Ikki looked at a brand new newspaper with a fierce look (Wang Lihao), a cold voice, and muttered: "Su Zheng..."

As he said this, he crumpled the newspaper into a ball and threw it hard to the ground.

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

Zhaojiayu.

The new regiment headquarters.

Li Yunlong didn't know about Zhu Ziming.

If he knew that Zhu Ziming had become a traitor, he would definitely be shocked.

But what shocked him now was the special report about Su Zheng.

Inside the regiment headquarters’ house.

Zhao Gang walked in with a smile on his face, holding a newspaper, and said, "Old Li, the report has been sent in...Su Zheng and the Independent Battalion have sent in the report!"

"The Anti-Japanese War Daily reported on the news of our regiment's independent battalion's ambush of the 4th Brigade and the victory of the battlefield observation group. It was really inspiring and boosted morale!"

Upon hearing this, Li Yunlong also grinned and said, "Hahaha... Not bad... Su Zheng is a good guy, worthy of being the most powerful general under me, Li. Hahaha!"

There is no doubt that Su Zheng is the most powerful general under Li Yunlong.

PS: Zhu Ziming in this chapter is the Eighth Route Army traitor Zhu Ziming in Bright Sword, but because there is also a Zhu Ziming from Qingfengzhai in Snow Leopard, with the same name and surname, and he was recruited by the protagonist, in order to distinguish him, his name was changed to Zhu Ziming.

This is also to distinguish them, I hope you won’t get confused.

Is there any rich person who can support me? The book review section is dull and lacks a lot of light. I need a rich person with strong financial resources to give me some tips. I will definitely update more to thank you.......

Chapter 233: Su Zheng has made great military achievements, and it is not excessive to be promoted to regiment commander or even brigade commander (third update, please subscribe)

Su Zheng became his subordinate, which made Li Yunlong feel proud!

Times brighter!

Now, hearing that the Independent Battalion and Su Zheng were featured in the Anti-Japanese War Daily's special reports, reporting the news of the great victory, Li Yunlong was naturally very happy.

This is a good thing!

I can brag about this for a year!

So when he learned that Su Zheng and the Independent Battalion had placed an advertisement in the newspaper, Li Yunlong grinned so hard that his mouth almost reached his ears.

Not to mention how happy I am.

Zhao Gang also said with a smile on his face: "Yes... Lao Li... This is to publicize this victory nationwide, and our New 1st Regiment will also benefit from it!"

Li Yunlong was looking at the newspaper, but he couldn't read, so he asked with expectation and curiosity: "Lao Zhao... Lao Zhao... Does the report mention me, Lao Li? Please help me check it out!"

Zhao Gang looked at Li Yunlong's face-saving appearance, and didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he still said: "It was mentioned...Su Zheng mentioned you and the New 1st Regiment many times in it!"

"Now, I guess people all over the country know that there is a Li Yunlong and the New 1st Regiment in Northwest Shanxi!"

"Not only did they mention you and the New 1st Regiment, they also mentioned Kong Jie's Independent Regiment!"

Su Zheng's behavior made Zhao Gang feel quite good.

The victory was reported in newspapers all over the country, which brought both fame and fortune.

However, Su Zheng has not forgotten Li Yunlong, Kong Jie and others, and he still treats Li Yunlong and Kong Jie as his priority... This shows that Su Zheng is not proud of his achievements.

Not bad...very good!

"Hahaha, Su Zheng is really nice. He even mentioned Kong Erlangzi's independent regiment. This really gives Kong Erlangzi some benefits. Hahaha!"

Li Yunlong was so happy that he grinned even more proudly and said, "Hahaha... I never thought that I, Li, would be on the anti-Japanese war daily's victory report."

"Old Zhao, you don't know that I, Old Li, could only wait for the disciplinary notice of the entire army before, but now it can be published in the newspaper, hahaha!"

Li Yunlong was extremely excited.

He looked so excited, as if he was on TV for the first time!

So exciting.

Zhao Gang looked at Li Yunlong's proud and excited look, but he didn't pour cold water on him. Instead, he said, "Old Li... you should publish more newspapers reporting good news and victories instead of disciplinary notices!"

"Su Zheng's independent battalion has indeed made great contributions this time. They annihilated the Fourth Brigade and the Japanese battlefield observation group. We should really publicize it well to boost morale and inspire people, so that the people can see the hope of victory in the war of resistance!"

Li Yunlong: "Old Zhao... this kid Su Zheng can really create miracles for us, hahahaha!"

"If I were the boss... I should have promoted him directly to regiment commander, or even brigade commander. Where can I find such a talent?"

Li Yunlong certainly knew that the headquarters promoted Su Zheng to deputy commander of the New 1st Regiment.

In Li Yunlong's opinion, since Su Zheng had made so many outstanding military achievements, it would not be excessive for him to be promoted to regiment commander or even brigade commander.

But Su Zheng is just a deputy commander... Li Yunlong was a little confused about this.

Zhao Gang was silent for a moment, then said, "The headquarters and the CEO have their reasons for doing this!"

"I guess the boss is intentionally cultivating Su Zheng and letting him gain more experience. Sometimes not being promoted so quickly is a good thing!"

"Although it is easy to get promoted by making contributions in times of war, there is still a big difference between a regiment commander and a battalion commander. Being a deputy regiment commander is already a big promotion, from battalion commander to regiment commander!"

After a pause, Zhao Gang continued, "And there is another very important reason, that is the Chairman's restriction!"

"Although the whole nation is united in the war of resistance, there will still be some restrictions and conflicts due to the different camps!"

"The Chairman doesn't want our Eighth Route Army to grow too fast. He is very sensitive to us privately developing troops and establishing regiments. Under such circumstances, the General Staff doesn't want the Eighth Route Army to have so many regiments in public. The purpose is to hide the strength. He deliberately lets Su Zheng manage it with the designation of the Independent Battalion!"

"Besides...Su Zheng now has at least two thousand people under his command. Although he holds the title of battalion commander, he is actually a regiment commander!"

According to the battle sequence of the Generalissimo’s National Revolutionary Army, the 386th Brigade consisted of only the 771st and 772nd Regiments.

These two regiments can obtain certain food, wages and equipment.

As for the Independent Regiment, the New First Regiment, the New Second Regiment... these are all numbers created by the Eighth Route Army itself, not recognized by the Chairman, and no longer on the combat sequence roster of the National Revolutionary Army.

Although the independent battalion has a large number of people, if it is separated and reorganized into a regiment, there will be one more regiment in the combat sequence of the Eighth Route Army, which will definitely arouse the Chairman's fear.

Sometimes it’s just so strange...even though they are all the same people...the situation and nature are different if there is one more regiment or one less regiment.

The boss naturally considers many aspects.

But one thing is certain... as Su Zheng's military achievements increase and the independent battalion becomes larger and larger, it will inevitably be reorganized into a regiment.

Li Yunlong nodded, not quite understanding: "Forget it... Never mind!"

"But I do hope that Su Zheng can stay in my New 1st Regiment. Then the combat effectiveness and size of my New 1st Regiment will be raised to a higher level, hahahaha!"

This is Li Yunlong’s personal opinion.

Zhao Gang smiled and said, "Old Li...you're just wishful thinking. With Su Zheng's ability, he will be promoted to regiment commander or even brigade commander sooner or later."

Li Yunlong grinned and said, "That's just what I said... Anyway, Su Zheng is still the deputy commander of my New 1st Regiment. He is my number one warrior. I don't care about anything else! Hahaha!"

While the two were talking, a pleasant female voice came from outside: "Captain Li...are you there?"

This is Yang Xiuqin's voice.

"Yes!" Li Yunlong said as he walked out of the room and looked at Yang Xiuqin and said, "Comrade Xiuqin, what's going on?"

Yang Xiuqin blushed slightly and said, "Captain Li, I see your shoes are broken. I... (bdda) sewed you a new pair of shoes. Do you think they fit your feet?"

As he said this, he handed a pair of shoes to Li Yunlong.

Li Yunlong took the new cloth shoes, examined them carefully, and said with a smile on his face: "Hehehe...Comrade Xiuqin...how can you be so embarrassed?"

"It looks quite suitable to me... Thank you, Comrade Xiuqin!"

Yang Xiuqin: “You’re welcome.”

Li Yunlong quickly introduced excitedly: "Comrade Xiuqin, let me tell you, I, Li, have been published in the newspaper!"

"I, Old Li, was listed in the Anti-Japanese War Daily, announcing the great victory, because the independent battalion of my New 1st Regiment made great contributions!"

"Independent Battalion? I know...it's a brave and combat-savvy unit that killed quite a few devils!"

"That's right, the Independent Battalion is a unit of our new regiment!"

"Captain Li, you are amazing!"

"I'm just average. It's the independent camp that's awesome."

......

The two of them chatted with each other.

Zhao Gang, who was not far away, looked at Li Yunlong and Yang Xiuqin, a smile appeared on his face, and he shook his head slightly.

He sensed that there was something unusual between the two.

The smell of money in love?

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

Luoding Town.

358th Regiment Headquarters.

Fang Ligong walked in hurriedly and said, "Commander... All the soldiers in the first battalion have been released by the independent battalion!"

Chu Yunfei nodded: "Well...I understand!"

"but......"

"but what?"

"All of our First Battalion's equipment has been detained by the Independent Battalion!"

"What?" Chu Yunfei was shocked. He looked at Fang Ligong with wide eyes and asked, "The independent battalion just released the people? They didn't bring back any guns or bullets?"

Fang Ligong: "No...all of them were detained by Su Zheng!"

Chu Yunfei's expression changed, and he murmured, "I said Su Zheng wouldn't be so kind as to help me solve the Lijia Town mutiny. I didn't expect that he would target the equipment of my battalion of nearly 2,000 soldiers!"

The 358st Battalion of the th Regiment has nearly soldiers and equipment, weapons and ammunition. This is not a small number!

In addition, the 358st Battalion is the main battalion of the th Regiment. If the main battalion is without weapons and equipment, it would be like a tiger without teeth!

Fang Ligong said cautiously: "Commander, this batch of equipment is quite a lot. We have to think of a way to get it back from Su Zheng!"

"Su Zheng has already snatched a batch of American equipment from us. If we don't get this batch of equipment back, I'm afraid the Second War Zone Headquarters will investigate!"

Chu Yunfei took a deep breath and said, "What you are talking about...I know about it too."

"But according to Su Zheng's personality... I think it's a bit difficult for him to spit out the equipment he has eaten!"

Fang Ligong said slowly: "No matter how difficult it is... we have to try... and now the independent battalion is a well-known anti-Japanese force in the country, and it is not short of equipment. Are you unwilling to return our equipment?"

"Commander... maybe you don't know this yet? The Eighth Route Army's newspaper reported extensively on the battle in which Su Zheng's independent battalion ambushed the Fourth Brigade and the battlefield observation group!"

"Our army's related newspapers have also reprinted the report. Now I guess people all over the country know about the Independent Battalion and Su Zheng!"

Chu Yunfei was stunned and asked, "Do you have a newspaper? Let me see it?"

Fang Ligong handed the newspaper that he had prepared long ago to Chu Yunfei.

This is a reprint report from a news agency newspaper.

The News Agency is the official newspaper of the Kuomintang.

Now the news agency newspaper has also reprinted the report of the Anti-Japanese War Daily, and it is a report on the good news of the Eighth Route Army's victory, which represents the attitude of the mountain city.

Chu Yunfei carefully read the contents of the newspaper, nodded slightly and said: "Well... this interview report is well written!"

"The independent battalion has made such great achievements, it really deserves to be publicized!"

"This is not just about promoting the Eighth Route Army, but also about enhancing our self-confidence and cohesion in the fight against Japan, boosting morale and raising our fighting spirit!"
