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

Due to the limitation of raw materials, the output of the independent battalion's arsenal is very limited.

No way, clever women can hardly cook without rice.

Su Zheng looked at Chen Yi and asked, "How many companies can we equip with the new M1 Garand rifles we have now?"

During the previous ambush on the 1th Brigade, the arsenal delivered a batch of M Garand rifles.

Later, another batch was delivered one after another, mainly to equip the battalion’s guard squad and directly affiliated units.

Chen Yi: "According to the statistics I have obtained so far, the M1 Garand rifles and Gatling heavy machine guns we currently have can equip two companies in addition to the troops directly under the battalion headquarters!"

The two companies of the independent battalion would have about six or seven hundred people.

Su Zheng nodded and said, "Okay...I understand!"

"How about this, you distribute the M1 Garand rifles of these two companies to the elite company and Zhou Weiguo's third infantry company."

"Give the weapons and equipment eliminated from the elite company to the Second Infantry Company of "Six-Eight-Seven" Lei Zifeng. If there are any extra M1 Garand rifles, equip them to the Second Company."

"Also...equip Liu Dazhuang's infantry company with a few more Garand rifles!"

This is Su Zheng’s arrangement for this batch of American equipment!

The elite company is the ace force of the independent battalion. It must maintain high-intensity combat effectiveness and naturally use elite weapons.

Although Zhou Weiguo is from the 1rd Infantry Company, Su Zheng knows Zhou Weiguo's ability and strength. If the M Garand rifle is given to their company, it will definitely be able to exert greater power.

Su Zheng’s goal is to equip all independent battalions with American equipment, but unfortunately the production capacity is limited now, so he can only do it step by step.

Chen Yi wrote down Su Zheng's distribution plan, nodded and said, "Okay, I will ask the Material Planning Department to do the distribution work."

Su Zheng looked at Chen Yi and continued, "By the way, our independent battalion is going to hold a military parade in three days, so that the general can review our troops!"

"So your mission is to quickly prepare the new recruits recruited yesterday to form preliminary combat capabilities within these three days so that they can participate in this troop review!"

"In short, we must fully demonstrate the true strength of our independent battalion!"

Chen Yi: "Okay, I understand!"

Su Zheng: "Oh... by the way... there is one more thing, isn't there a He Moxiu among our new recruits?"

"I have given He Moxiu a special and confidential mission. I have asked him to conduct research on a new type of weapon. If he requires any conditions, you must try your best to meet them, whether it is people, money or materials. Do your best to meet their needs."

"If you are not satisfied or encounter any difficulties, come to me!"

He Moxiu?

Chen Yi has some impression.

Because she was the one who arranged for this new recruit to come to the battalion headquarters.

Chen Yi didn't know what task Su Zheng had assigned to He Moxiu.

But since Su Zheng has explained it this way, it must be an important and confidential research.

No delay!

Chen Yi nodded and said, "Okay, I understand!"

Afterwards, Su Zheng explained some more things to Chen Yi.

After finishing his work, Su Zheng came to the reception room.

The subsequent communication mainly took place in the reception room.

In this reception room, we communicate and learn with the leaders.

When the boss saw Su Zheng coming, he said, "Su Zheng, it's getting late, let's start today's discussion!"

"The purpose of my organizing a senior military officer exchange group to visit the Xinzhongcun base is to learn from you and the independent battalion."

Su Zheng smiled and said, "Of course no problem."

Everyone took their seats.

The exchange and learning officially began.

Ding Wei looked at Su Zheng impatiently and said, "Su Zheng, I'm more curious about how you managed to build such a large team in such a short time!"

Kong Jie, the boss and other leaders of the Eighth Route Army Officers Exchange Group also looked at Su Zheng with great curiosity.

The first thing every troop commander has to consider is to mobilize the troops.

If the troops cannot be mobilized, then there is no way to form a strong fighting force.

Su Zheng pondered for a moment and said, "I think if we want to quickly raise an army, there are three main aspects!"

“First, it’s the mass base!”

"We, the Eighth Route Army, have always had a good relationship with the common people. We are based on the common people, so we must build a good mass base!"

"In terms of wealth, we are not as good as the Guomindang, and in terms of industrial capacity, we are not as good as the Japanese. The only thing we can rely on is the masses of the people."

"If we want to gain the support of the people, we must make the military and the people like one family and integrate with the people."

"As for how to build a good relationship with the people, it all comes down to one thing: we must put the people first and serve the people!"

The boss, Ding Wei, Kong Jie and others all nodded, agreeing with Su Zheng's statement.

Su Zheng paused and continued, "As for the second aspect, the logistics of the troops must be done well!"

"The army does not move without food and fodder... Since ancient times, logistics has been one of the most important factors in determining the combat effectiveness of troops!"

"The leaders also inspected the logistics department of our independent battalion yesterday. There are more than a dozen logistics departments of various sizes, with thousands of people, all for the purpose of supporting our independent battalion!"

"The independent battalion's strong combat effectiveness is inseparable from its strong logistical capabilities!"

"For example, more than a thousand people joined our independent battalion yesterday. If our independent battalion's logistics support was not strong enough, we would not be able to accept so many new recruits at once!"

"Weapons and equipment, uniforms, bedding, food, drink, defecation, and urination for thousands of new recruits... these are all problems, and they all depend on our logistical support!"

"Our logistics department can ensure that every recruit has a salary and adequate training when they are new, that they have enough ammunition and rations during battle, and that they receive adequate pensions and respect after their death... With such a series of guarantees, patriotic young people will naturally join our independent battalion."

Ding Wei nodded and asked again: "Su Zheng...To be honest, only your independent battalion can provide various military salaries and pensions. That's because your independent battalion is extremely rich."

"Many of our Eighth Route Army troops simply cannot reach this level, and there is no way to guarantee supplies and logistics."

Kong Jie also nodded in agreement and said, "That's right, our independent regiment's logistical support is very scarce."

Su Zheng looked at Ding Wei and Kong Jie and said, "Of course I understand this... But you should also know that the logistics support for our independent battalion was also built bit by bit by ourselves!"

"If we are short of supplies and equipment, we can go ask the captain of our transport team for them!"

One of the leaders blurted out, "Captain of the transport team? Who is that?"

Su Zhengyi smiled and said, "The little devil... Isn't the little devil the captain of the transport team of our Eighth Route Army? He does exactly this, specifically delivering equipment and military pay to us!"

"Hahaha!" The boss laughed and said, "Hahaha... Indeed, if we need anything, we can ask the devils for it... But whether we can get it from the devils depends on our skills and abilities..."

"Su Zheng, please tell me the third reason for raising the troops."

Su Zheng paused and continued, "In my opinion, the third reason for attracting troops is military merit and achievements!"

"If a unit has a glorious military record, then it will be very helpful in recruiting and expanding the unit."

"Because no matter who you are, you don't want to join a defeated army. Instead, you want to join a heroic anti-Japanese army. That way you can fight the devils and feel good."

“This can be clearly seen from the thousands of people who came to join the army yesterday.”

"Our independent battalion has established a reputation in northwestern Shanxi through one brilliant battle after another. This will naturally encourage more patriotic young people to join the army!"

"As our independent battalion wiped out the Fourth Brigade with all its might, coupled with the publicity from the Anti-Japanese Daily and local newspapers, our independent battalion has established a reputation throughout the country, letting the people of the country know about our independent battalion's great military achievements, so many patriotic young people are willing to come and join our independent battalion!"

"Therefore, it is also very important to promote the glorious military achievements and necessary publicity."

At the beginning, when Su Zheng was about to fight the 4th Brigade, it was also a battle for the establishment of the independent battalion.

Becoming famous in one battle will make it easier to expand the troops in the future.

Regarding this point, the CEO, Ding Wei, Kong Jie and other leaders all strongly agree.

Because they witnessed and understood all of this at the recruitment office yesterday.

Su Zheng looked at the leaders and said, "These are the reasons why I think we should raise an army. Of course, they are not absolute!"

"If a military unit wants to develop and expand rapidly, there are still many things to consider."

The boss nodded and said, "I fully agree with the three aspects Su Zheng mentioned."

"There is a reason why the independent battalion was able to expand and develop so quickly in a short period of time... We should learn from this!"

Ding Wei was impressed and said, "Su Zheng, you are really amazing... You know how to develop and expand the army."

Kong Jie: "I am convinced too."

Su Zheng: "Thank you for your compliments, leaders."

Afterwards, Su Zheng continued to communicate with the boss, Ding Wei, Kong Jie and other leaders.

On the other hand, the independent battalion began to equip a new batch of American equipment, which will be unveiled at the enlistment ceremony, which will definitely shock the leaders of the Eighth Route Army Senior Officers Exchange Group...

PS: Another auto-subscriber has been lost, so miserable... Can you give a reward to the auto-subscriber or the rich man who came from heaven to comfort him? (laughing and crying...).

Chapter 261 The boss highly praised: Su Zhengneng! He has created too many miracles! (Fourth update, please subscribe)

A batch of M1 Garand rifles and Gatling machine guns were secretly transported from the arsenal back to the Xinzhongcun base.

This batch of American equipment was mainly equipped for the elite company and Zhou Weiguo's third infantry company.

Su Zheng is still very optimistic about Zhou Weiguo.

Zhou Weiguo is a capable general!

As long as he is trained properly, he will definitely become a general who can stand on his own.

After the independent battalion was equipped with the M1 Garand rifle and Gatling machine gun, the combat effectiveness and firepower of the troops were once again raised to a higher level.

In the following period of time, the 3rd Infantry Company and the Elite Company equipped with new American equipment were rushing to adapt to the new weapons.

On the training ground.

The soldiers of the Third Infantry Company were very excited when they received the new M1 Garand rifles.

You know, when fighting the 50th Brigade, the first batch of Garand rifles was first equipped to Zhou Weiguo's rd Company.

In the ambush of the 1th Brigade, the soldiers of the rd Company deeply experienced the power of the M Garand rifle.

This is a semi-automatic rifle. You don't need to load the chamber after each shot. You just need to keep pulling the trigger.

What a good thing!

What a baby!

So now that the 1rd Infantry Company is equipped with M Garand rifles, it is a very exciting thing.

It is no exaggeration to say that although the third infantry company equipped with M1 Garand rifles has only more than people, its firepower is no less than that of an ordinary regiment of the Eighth Route Army.

This is the power of automatic rifles.

Zhu Ziming held a brand new M1 Garand rifle in his hand, and said excitedly: "Weiguo, look, the regiment commander has equipped our third company with the latest M1 Garand rifle. Hahaha, with these 13 weapons... we can crush the Japanese!"

Zhou Weiguo looked at these M1 Garand rifles, nodded slightly and said: "This shows that the regiment commander trusts and values ​​us. He equipped our company with such advanced weapons and equipment first. We can't let him down!"

"Brother Zhu, Xu Hu, organize the entire company to train immediately!"

"We must master the use of the M1 Garand rifle as soon as possible, so that we can exert greater power on the battlefield!"

Zhu Ziming and Xu Hu both nodded and said, "Okay!"

The M1 Garand rifle was equipped to the rd Infantry Company. Zhou Weiguo naturally knew what Su Zheng meant, so he must make full use of the huge role and power of this batch of equipment and not let Su Zheng down.

At the same time, the elite company was also equipped with the M1 Garand rifle.

The elite company originally had the strongest comprehensive combat capability in the independent battalion, and now it is equipped with the semi-automatic M1 Garand rifle, which is like adding wings to a tiger.

In addition, except for two Gatling machine guns produced by the arsenal that were equipped to the elite company, the other five were all equipped to Liu Dazhuang's 1st Infantry Company, strengthening the company's firepower.

At the same time, Chen Yi also conveyed Su Zheng's intention, asking each company to seize the time to train the new recruits in the way that veterans lead new recruits.

Speed ​​up the training of new recruits, not only for the enlistment ceremony, but also to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible.

In the conference room.

Su Zheng was communicating and learning with the leaders.
