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

The members of the Eighth Route Army Senior Officers Exchange Group are all senior military cadres, staff officers, military advisers, etc. in the Eighth Route Army. It can be said that they are higher than Su Zheng in terms of military position and rank.

When these leaders came to a battalion-level combat unit for exchanges and learning, they felt a little bit unconvinced.

Even though the independent battalion won several brilliant victories and achieved great victories, it became famous in northwestern Shanxi and became a well-known anti-Japanese force.

However, these military commanders, staff officers, military advisers, etc. still have a certain degree of arrogance and feel that there is not much they can learn from the Independent Battalion and Su Zheng.

If this exchange group of senior officers of the Eighth Route Army had not been organized by the headquarters, these people might not have participated.

At least not actively participating.

Of course...the reason why they are so arrogant and unwilling to accept defeat is partly because they don't know enough about the Independence Camp.

If they truly understood the Independence Camp, they would be eager to come and exchange ideas and learn.

For example, Kong Jie and Ding Wei.

They are very familiar with the situation in the independent camp and can't wait to come to the Xinzhongcun base to exchange and learn.

That's the difference.

After gaining a deeper understanding of the situation in the independent camp, one will definitely change his opinion.

Now that the other members of the Eighth Route Army Senior Officers Exchange Group have seen the tip of the iceberg of the Xinzhongcun base, they have begun to feel impressed.

Seeing is believing, hearing is not!

Although they had not yet seen the troops of the independent battalion, they were all impressed by the prosperous and unique development of the Xinzhongcun base.

As leaders, everyone reached a consensus that there are still things worth learning and communicating about between the Independent Battalion and Su Zheng.

Su Zhenghe, the boss, Ding Wei, Kong Jie and other leaders chatted for a long time, and then Xiao Ya came to inform them that breakfast was ready, so everyone moved to the dining area to have breakfast.

Breakfast is relatively simple.

There was white porridge, steamed buns, and some sweet potatoes and corn.

It’s basically whole grain breakfast.

But this kind of breakfast is considered to be relatively good in the Eighth Route Army. ...

Most of the Eighth Route Army troops were still short of food supplies.

The breakfast would not be so rich.

Seeing the breakfast on the table, the boss asked, "Su Zheng...is the breakfast of your independent camp like this? Or is it because we are the leaders, so today's breakfast is especially good!"

Su Zheng answered truthfully: "Boss, our breakfast in the independent camp is basically like this."

"It's all white porridge, sweet potatoes, corn and steamed buns... basically a nutritious breakfast with this combination. If we're marching or fighting or on an emergency march, we'll use dry food for breakfast!"

"This is not a special treatment for you, the boss!"

This is the truth!

The independent battalion is different from other Eighth Route Army units.

There is no shortage of supplies at the moment.

Because they had robbed the Japanese several times, and had the spoils of several victorious battles, as well as the support of the common people, the independent battalion had relatively abundant supplies.

At the same time, the wheat grown with super seeds can be harvested soon, so food problems can be further ensured.

Therefore, the nutrition and eating problems of the independent battalion soldiers were basically solved.

At least for now, the problem can be solved for an independent camp of this size.

If the troops are expanded in the future, it may not be able to meet the requirements.

The soldiers of the independent battalion are basically fighting and training, which means consuming a lot of physical energy and strength. Therefore, they must ensure adequate nutrition intake and food and clothing. It is impossible to train on an empty stomach.

Therefore, the soldiers of the independent battalion can basically eat enough every day.

Ding Wei looked at the breakfast on the table, smiled and said: "Su Zheng, the food in your independent battalion is really good. This breakfast is still a normal breakfast... If it were our New Third Regiment, I guess we would only have such food if we won a battle and seized supplies!"

Kong Jie also said: "Yeah... this food looks really good!"

"Yes, I haven't had such a breakfast for a long time!"

"Steamed buns, white porridge... our troops can only eat sweet potatoes!"

"Not bad...the food is good!"

"Everyone says that Su Zheng's independent camp is as rich as 3.0 oil. Now I have experienced it, hahahaha!"

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

When everyone saw this breakfast, they finally had some idea of ​​how wealthy the independent camp was.

Breakfast is so nutritious, it’s really a luxury.

The rest of the Eighth Route Army are still struggling with the issue of food and clothing!

The difference is quite big!

Seeing this, Su Zheng couldn't help but smile and said, "Commend... I have no choice... The soldiers in our independent battalion have a high training intensity. I can only ensure that they have adequate nutrition and don't go hungry. As the battalion commander, I am under a lot of pressure!"

"The feeding problem for the entire independent camp of nearly 2,000 people is a huge problem!"

Indeed, solving the problem of feeding so many people is a headache.

The boss smiled and said, "You are very good to be able to solve the feeding problem for so many people, Su Zheng!"

"Do it...eat breakfast everyone!"

Everyone sat down and started to eat breakfast.

After breakfast, they still have to inspect the troops of the independent battalion...

Chapter 246: Rich! The headquarters is moving to Su Zheng’s base? (First update, please subscribe)

A hearty and nutritious breakfast made the leaders realize what it means to be truly rich.

Steamed buns, corn and sweet potatoes during the day...this is a nutritious combination and a breakfast that can ensure you are warm and full!

Everyone sat down and had breakfast.

The boss ate a steamed bun while looking at Su Zheng and said, "Su Zheng...everyone said your independent battalion has made a fortune. Now it seems that what they said is true. Hahahaha, the food here is better than that at the headquarters!"

Su Zheng: "What kind of fortune is this... it's just to solve the problem of food and clothing."

"How can these soldiers train to fight if they don't have enough food and warm clothes?"

The boss was stunned and looked at Su Zhengdao: "So this is the reason why your independent battalion maintains a high combat effectiveness?"

Su Zheng smiled and said, "Maybe!"

Due to various reasons, the training of soldiers in other Eighth Route Army units is often limited.

Training is a great test for the logistics system.

For example, training venues, training systems and food issues...these are all related to training.

Let me give you a very simple example: if the soldiers train too much, they will consume too much physical energy, so they will need to eat more and consume more... If there is not enough food and pay to ensure that the soldiers will not go hungry, it will be impossible to conduct long-term high-intensity training.

If a unit does not receive much training in normal times, how can it have strong combat effectiveness?

The independent battalion has a strong logistics system, which ensures that the soldiers are well fed, clothed and warm, allowing the soldiers to receive high-intensity and sufficient training, thus the independent battalion's combat effectiveness is strong.

The boss smiled and then said nothing more.

Everyone was eating breakfast.

After breakfast, they wanted to go and see the situation of the independent battalion.

While Su Zheng was eating breakfast, the system's voice came into his mind: "Ding Dong... Congratulations to the host for completing the selection and obtaining the specific location information of the gold mine!"

Along with this sound, the system told Su Zheng the specific location of the gold mine.

This gold mine is located in the valley of the Xinmai Mountain. The area of ​​the entire gold mine is not small, and the gold content is very, very high. It is conservatively estimated that one ton of gold can be extracted!

A ton of gold?

This gave Su Zheng a shock!

A meal of gold...what a terrifying number.

One ton is 1000kg, and 1kg is two jin.

In other words, one ton of gold is equivalent to 2000 kilograms of gold!

This is definitely not a small number.

If calculated based on 400 RMB per gram.

2000 jin is a total of one million grams.

Then the total value is 4 million RMB.

What a terrifying number this is.

Su Zheng was also very surprised and said, "System...you are not lying, are you? This gold mine can refine one ton of gold?"

System: "System products must be top quality, please rest assured, host."

You know, there are a lot of different types of gold deposits.

The main types include conglomerate type, greenstone belt type, quartz vein type, ductile shear zone type, Carlin type, porphyry type, epithermal type, volcanic rock type, and Cenozoic placer type.

When the earth was first formed, its gold abundance was relatively high. When the gold abundance was high enough, it became the earliest "ore source layer" of the gold deposit.

However, it can be said that the gold content of most gold ores is very low.

Because the abundance of gold in the earth's crust is very low, and it also has properties such as affinity for sulfur, affinity for copper, affinity for iron, and a high melting point.

Therefore, to form an industrial gold deposit, gold must be enriched thousands of times. To form a large or rich mine, gold must be enriched thousands or tens of thousands of times, or even higher.

Simply put, the gold content of gold mines is generally very low. If 1 kg of gold ore is refined, it may only produce 0.00001 kg of pure gold.

The amount of gold extracted from gold ore varies depending on its gold content, which mainly depends on the gold content of the gold ore.

If it is a rich gold ore, one ton can produce about 1 grams, if it is a poor rich gold ore, only a few grams can be refined.

The gold mines provided by this system can now refine one ton of gold, and it is conservatively estimated that the gold ore is more than 40,000 tons.

This is definitely an extremely powerful gold ore.

Su Zheng naturally would not doubt the system's words, but the fact that one ton of gold could be refined was really surprising.

After a pause, he continued, "System... Oh, by the way... I got the 'Resource Distribution Map of Northwest Shanxi' drawn by the Japanese, but there is no location of this gold ore in it?"

"Does this mean that the resource distribution map drawn by the Japanese is incomplete?"

System: "Yes!"

Su Zheng thought about it and it was true... In this era, the Japanese had limited technology in exploring various mineral resources.

Moreover, the Japanese did not dare to conduct blatant surveys in non-enemy-occupied areas, so it was very normal that the surveys of many mineral resources were not comprehensive.

Previously, Su Zheng found a copper mine with the help of the "Resource Distribution Map of Northwest Shanxi Province", which could solve the problem of copper raw materials for the arsenal.

Now the system has once again informed Su Zheng of the location of the gold mine, which can solve the military expenditure problem.

Just as Su Zheng said, for such a large unit as the independent battalion, the military expenses for food, clothing, housing and transportation are a huge problem.

This does not include military salaries, pensions and other expenses, such as the costs of arsenals.

The labor cost of the entire arsenal, the cost of raw materials, the construction of the arsenal, etc.... these are all huge expenses.

Therefore, military expenditure has always been a headache for Su Zheng.

This is also the reason why the arsenal’s output cannot be increased now.

The main reason is that there are too many restrictions.

But now with this gold mine, Su Zheng’s military expenditure problem can be alleviated a little.

If we own a gold mine, we can solve the headache of military expenditure.

Moreover, with gold, Su Zheng can also purchase the raw materials and some related equipment needed for the arsenal.

Of course...it's wartime now...many raw materials are tightly controlled by the Japanese devils, while the raw materials in non-enemy-occupied areas are controlled by the Central Army, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, etc.
