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

shocked!

The boss was also a little stunned.

Because after ambushing the 4th Brigade and the Japanese Battlefield Observation Group, the commander knew that the independent battalion had lost more than half of its troops, with only more than a thousand people left.

But now seeing with my own eyes... this conservative estimate is over two thousand people.

The speed of development is truly astonishing.

Ding Wei, Kong Jie and other members of the Eighth Route Army Senior Officers Exchange Group were also slightly surprised when they saw this scene.

But they don’t know how many people there are!

The boss looked at the independent battalion that was undergoing intensive training, then looked at Su Zheng next to him and asked, "Su Zheng, your independent battalion is developing well... How many troops do you have now?"

Su Zheng didn't hide anything, and said directly: "At present, the number of combat troops in our independent battalion is 2543!"

As a battalion commander, he naturally knew the specific number of combat personnel in the independent battalion.

This is the most basic!

2543?

This... there are more than two thousand people here?

After defeating the 4th Brigade, there were only more than a thousand people left in the independent battalion...and now it has grown to more than 2,500 people in such a short time?

This means that in a short period of time, the independent battalion expanded by more than a thousand people again?

Hiss...the development speed is really too fast.

The boss, Kong Jie, Ding Wei and everyone else were all very surprised when they heard this and couldn't help but gasp.

It is not uncommon for a unit to grow and expand by a thousand men.

But being able to expand the team to more than a thousand people in such a short time is terrifying!

Kong Jie and Ding Wei both looked at Su Zheng in surprise.

The speed of Su Zhengla’s troops is indeed as good as their reputation!

The boss was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Su Zheng, that's great. You have expanded the staff by more than a thousand people in such a short period of time. That's great...hahaha!"

Ding Wei: "Su Zheng... your speed of recruiting troops is really too fast, isn't it? My new third regiment only has a few hundred people so far!"

The New Third Regiment is a newly formed regimental-level combat unit, so naturally it has a small number of members.

Kong Jie also said in amazement: "Yes... your battalion has more than 2,500 people, almost as many as two regiments!"

A standard regiment of the Eighth Route Army has only about 1,500 people.

However, due to various reasons, many regimental combat units are unable to reach more than 1,500 people. The number of non-main force regiments of most standard regiments is probably just over 1,000 soldiers, basically around 1,120 people.

So when Kong Jie said that Su Zheng's one battalion was worth two regiments, it was not exaggeration.

A commander of the Eighth Route Army Senior Officers Exchange Group asked, "Captain Su, do you include the logistics personnel in your 2,500-plus people?"

Su Zheng shook his head and said, "No... More than 2,500 people are the number of frontline combatants. If all the related logistics personnel are included, the total number of my independent battalion is about 3,500 people."

When this was said, everyone was shocked...

Chapter 249 What? An independent battalion with more than people? The logistics support of an army? (Fourth update, please subscribe)

The entire independent battalion, including logistics personnel, has a total of more than 3,500 people?

The result was that the boss, Kong Jie, Ding Wei and other members of the Eighth Route Army senior officers exchange group were all in an uproar, and they looked at Su Zheng in surprise.

Hiss...

This is really incredible.

A battalion logistics support system...this is quite normal.

However, what surprised all the leaders was not the independent battalion's logistical system, but the fact that the independent battalion, a combat unit, had as many as a thousand logistical support personnel.

This is quite scary.

More than a thousand support personnel are enough to provide logistics for a division or even an army, or even a military region.

This is really exaggerated.

I also don't understand what the independent battalion's 1,000-strong logistics personnel are doing.

shocked.

They were all stunned.

The boss also looked at Su Zheng with great curiosity and said, "Su Zheng... your battalion only has more than 2,000 people, and this... this logistics personnel has nearly 1,000 people. Do you need so many for logistics support?"

Su Zheng also knew that the logistics support personnel of thousands of people were extremely terrifying.

But this is not just bragging.

Every logistics staff member has his or her own duties.

Ding Wei, Kong Jie and others looked at Su Zheng with great curiosity.

They also wanted to know what the thousands of logistics personnel in the independent battalion mainly did.

Su Zheng explained simply: "Boss... these thousands of logistics support personnel are indeed a bit too many, but they all have their own responsibilities!"

"For example, we saw a security management team in the village, which is also a logistics team with about a hundred people."

"In addition, we also have a transport team, which is mainly responsible for transporting weapons and equipment as well as some supplies. There are more than a hundred people in the team."

"In order to ensure the smooth recruitment process, we also have a recruitment office with dozens of people."

"In short... In order to ensure the logistical supply of our independent battalion, I have established many logistical departments, such as the clothing factory. The oil department, material planning department, military horse department, finance department, military supply department, mineral department, VIA department, ordnance department, barracks department, management bureau and other departments... The number of people in these departments added up is quite a lot."

"For example, our Material Planning Department is responsible for allocating supplies and equipment for our entire battalion, and it has more than a dozen people."

"In addition, there is the Military Supply Department, which is responsible for ensuring our logistics, military supplies and salaries, and is responsible for our food, drink, defecation, and so on."

"So...even though we are a battalion, we also have many logistical support departments."

Su Zheng briefly described the logistics department of the independent battalion.

With the continuous expansion of the independent battalion and the needs of the troops, many logistics departments were established.

For example, the Mining Area Department... This was a logistics department that did not exist before, but with the discovery of copper mines in Xinmai Mountain, the Mining Area Department was established, which was mainly responsible for the development of mineral mining areas.

The mining department has workers responsible for mining, technicians, refining personnel, mine security personnel, etc., and the number of people is also quite large, totaling hundreds of people.

It is not surprising that the total number of people in various departments is nearly a thousand.

Most importantly, Su Zheng did not tell the boss and others that there was an arsenal in the independent battalion.

There are quite a few people in the arsenal.

There is also a Military Industry Management Department within the logistics department, which is specifically responsible for managing the arsenal.

The specialized department of the military industry management department that manages the arsenal was not located in the Xinzhongcun base, but inside the arsenal in Xinmaishan.

The arsenal had the largest number of people, including workers, technicians, and logistics personnel of the arsenal, a total of more than 200 people.

After all, the arsenal can now produce M1 Garand rifles and Gatling machine guns.

These two production lines require a lot of workers.

In addition to a large number of workers, there are also other functional departments, technicians, cooking and logistics personnel, etc.

It can be said that the arsenal is a complete factory ecosystem.

After hearing Su Zheng's explanation, Ding Wei, Kong Jie, the boss and other people in the senior officers exchange group were also surprised.

I didn’t expect that an independent battalion would have so many logistics departments.

Some logistics departments don’t even have a logistics base at their headquarters.

For example, the mining department!

When Logistics Minister Zhang Wanhe learns about Su Zheng's logistics support system, he will definitely exclaim "Wow!" The logistics system of this independent battalion is more professional than my logistics base. Mine is the logistics support department of the entire Eighth Route Army.

Unfortunately...this time Zhang Wanhe did not participate in the Eighth Route Army senior officers exchange group.

The logistics department of the independent battalion includes workers, so the number of people is naturally not small.

The boss laughed and said, "Su Zheng... I really didn't expect that although your army is only a battalion, it has so many logistics departments!"

"Although the sparrow is small, it has all the organs!"

Su Zheng: "There is no other way... Only a strong logistics support system can ensure the strong combat effectiveness of the independent battalion."

"Logistics departments are used to ensure the combat effectiveness of the troops!"

The boss nodded, agreeing with Su Zheng's opinion.

Being able to set up so many logistical departments is indeed a skill.

Moreover, the personnel in the independent battalion's logistics department are not just there to hold empty positions and collect salaries; they all have their own work and tasks.

Ding Wei exclaimed: "Su Zheng... your logistics staff of more than a thousand people can guarantee the logistics of a division or even an army!"

"You are really amazing. You have set up so many logistics departments. If you don't know, you would think your independent battalion has the strength of a division!"

Kong Jie also smiled and said, "Yeah...Su Zheng, you are really amazing!"

"The number of support personnel alone shows how powerful your independent battalion is!"

"Unlike our independent regiment... at most there are only a dozen people, that's the difference."

"Hahaha!"

Kong Jie's words made the other members of the Eighth Route Army Senior Officers Exchange Group laugh.

The boss quickly noticed that the logistics department Su Zheng mentioned was the mining department, so he asked curiously: "Su Zheng, your logistics department also has a mining department? What is it used for? To develop mineral resources?"

Su Zheng nodded and said, "Yes... Northwest Shanxi is a resource-rich region with a lot of various mineral resources, so I set up a mining department, which is mainly responsible for the development of mining areas!"

Boss: "So what mineral resources have you developed now?"

Su Zheng did not hide anything and said truthfully: "We have discovered a small copper mine in our base and are currently developing it."

"The amount of copper currently extracted from copper mines is still very limited."

Previously, Su Zheng obtained the "Mining Resource Distribution Map of Northwest Shanxi" surveyed and drawn by the Japanese, so he learned that there was a copper mine in Xinmai Mountain.

The "Distribution Map of Mineral Resources in Northwest Shanxi" also depicts the distribution of other mineral resources such as iron ore, coal mines, etc., but none of them are within the Xinzhong Village base, or are not in the independent battalion defense zone, and cannot be mined at all.

Mining a mine is very complicated.

If you don't have enough strength, it will be easy to be occupied.

The boss nodded slightly and said, "That's a good job... You even developed your own mineral resources!"

Kong Jie looked at Su Zheng and said with a smile: "Su Zheng...if you find a gold mine one day, tell me. I want to see what a gold mine looks like. Hahaha!"

Ding Wei also said: "If Su Zheng discovers a gold mine, he will definitely become a real landlord."

Su Zheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, there will be a chance!"

Su Zheng now has a gold mine in his hands, but he has not had time to develop it.

This is a gold mining area that can extract one ton of gold.

After getting a general understanding of the basic situation of the independent battalion, everyone began to simply inspect the situation of the independent battalion.

...... ....... 0

At this time, all the main forces of the independent battalion were undergoing high-intensity training.

Many of the training programs were never seen before by the boss, Ding Wei, Kong Jie and others.

Su Zheng gave a brief introduction at the side: "Dear leaders... this is the infantry training area!"

"At present, we have a lot of infantry in our independent battalion, including the First Infantry Company, the Second Infantry Company, the Third Infantry Company, the Elite Company, the Independent Battalion, and the Sichuan Army Company!"

"These five companies are the main companies of our independent battalion, accounting for 80% of our total strength!"

The boss nodded, paused, and suddenly asked, "By the way...you said your independent battalion also has a Sichuan Army company? What kind of company is this? Is it mainly composed of Sichuan Army soldiers?"

Su Zheng: "Yes, the Sichuan Army Company is a company composed of Sichuan Army soldiers!"
