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

In addition to how to quickly mobilize troops, we also discussed how to improve the combat effectiveness of the troops.

There are two main aspects to improving the combat effectiveness of the troops.

The first is adequate training!

With adequate training, combat effectiveness will naturally improve.

High-intensity training involves the issue of logistics support.

That is to say, sufficient military rations must be provided to ensure that the soldiers are well fed and clothed so that they can receive adequate training.

The second is the issue of weapons and equipment.

The times have changed.

Now is the era of hot weapons, so naturally we have to consider the issue of weapons and equipment.

If we cannot produce weapons and equipment ourselves, then we can only ask the Japanese transport captain for them.

Su Zheng always said what he thought, without hiding anything.

After all, everyone present is our own people.

The boss highly praised Su Zheng for this and admired him more and more.

We have almost finished talking about the issues concerning the troops, and now let’s talk about the issue of developing the base.

The boss looked at Su Zheng and said, "Su Zheng, your base has developed really well, like a paradise. Can you teach me the essentials and experience of developing a base?"

Su Zheng was silent for a moment before he spoke: "Actually... I think the most important thing in developing a base is people!"

"With more people, there will be a demographic dividend... Oh... The meaning of demographic dividend is that the population brings favorable conditions for development!"

The term "demographic dividend" has not appeared in this era, and Su Zheng gave a brief explanation.

Su Zheng continued: "When we have a demographic dividend, we can develop a base."

"Both the Central Army and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army are very troubled by the refugee issue. Many troops are unwilling to accept refugees in order to avoid trouble and the safety of the defense zone. That's because they don't see the population dividend among the refugees!"

"You know, most of the refugees are highly educated, workers, and some technicians... In short, there are many talented people among the refugees!"

"Our independent camp welcomes all refugees, so we can develop the base quickly!"

"Let's not talk about anything else, just take the construction of the bunkers, trenches and other fortifications of the first line of defense of our base as an example. They were all built by the common people in a very short time. If our troops had to build them by themselves, it would have taken a lot of time!"

"So if a base wants to develop, it must have enough people!"

“That’s how we can grow and prosper.”

After a pause, Su Zheng continued, "Of course... accepting and helping refugees... there will definitely be many problems. It's up to us to find ways to solve them!"

"The refugees' demands are actually very simple. They just want to find a place to settle down and survive!"

“As long as we solve these problems of refugees, then there will be no problem with refugees!”

The boss nodded and said, "Yes...you are right...there are certain reasons why the Xinzhongcun base is so prosperous and developed. Su Zheng said it very well. As long as the refugees are used properly, they can be a good way to develop productivity."

“Come on… continue sharing with everyone!”

Su Zheng then continued to share with the leaders some experiences and methods on developing bases and improving the combat effectiveness of the troops.

This can be regarded as saying everything you know.

After all, we are all family.

The general, Ding Wei and Kong Jie, as well as the leaders of the Eighth Route Army Senior Officers Exchange Group, have all seen the successful development cases of the Independent Battalion and the Xinzhongcun Base. Naturally, they are all willing to learn and communicate with them humbly, and they will not be unwilling to learn and communicate just because Su Zheng is only a deputy head of the group.

During the whole day, Su Zheng was exchanging ideas and experiences with the leaders of the Eighth Route Army Senior Officers Exchange Group.

This was also unanimously affirmed by all the leaders.

Su Zheng is a very easy-going person and he really likes to share good things with others.

After a day of communication, all the leaders felt as if they had been enlightened.

Listening to what you say is better than reading ten years of books.

Listening to Su Zheng's experiences and insights, the leaders gained a lot, were greatly inspired, learned a lot of methods and techniques, and also planned to promote and utilize them in their own troops to develop and build their own troops and bases.

In short...the leaders felt that their trip to the Xinzhongcun base was not in vain.

Of course, it is impossible to completely replicate the success of the independent camp.

After all, the rise of a unit is often closely related to luck, current affairs, etc. In addition, Su Zheng also has a super plug-in - the system. It is almost impossible for other units to replicate the rise of the independent battalion.

But they can still learn a lot.

After dinner, the leaders returned to their rooms to rest.

The boss called Ding Wei and Kong Jie to his room.

Ding Wei and Kong Jie are still relatively capable military cadres... The boss is clear about this.

Although the boss had previously scolded Kong Jie's independent regiment as a dough, this also shows how much he loved and how much he felt in pain.

The boss looked at Ding Wei and Kong Jie and said, "Kong Jie, Ding Wei, you have been here for two days to exchange ideas at the Xinzhongcun base. What do you think of the Independent Battalion, Su Zheng, and the Xinzhongcun base?"

Ding Wei organized his words and said, "Boss, I'll be honest. Whether it's the development of the independent battalion or the base, we can't find any unit or base in the Eighth Route Army that is better than the independent battalion and the Xinzhongcun base!"

"We can see the speed of development and expansion of the independent battalion, as well as the prosperity of the base area, which is a miracle."

"As for Su Zheng, he is definitely a very rare talent. He can lead a team and fight. He has strong personal skills and abilities. He also created the three-three system tactics, the cannon with bayonets tactics, and so on."

"This is my opinion. The development of Su Zheng's independent camp and base has really exceeded everyone's expectations."

Kong Jie added: "Yes... Boss, we can say that we have watched the independent camp and the base develop."

"Let's not talk about anything else, just the independent battalion's outstanding military achievements and its crazy and incredible expansion speed, which is hard to match."

"We expanded our ranks by more than a thousand people yesterday... and I heard that more than six hundred more people joined the independent camp today!"

"These 600+ people are selected after screening. There are more than 200 unqualified people... Just imagine how terrifying the expansion speed is!"

"I think that whether it is the development and military achievements of the independent battalion, or the rapid development and prosperity of the base, it is inseparable from one person, that is Su Zheng!"

"Su Zheng is a rare talent!"

Obviously, Ding Wei and Kong Jie both spoke highly of Su Zheng!

PS: At least four chapters will be completed. Rewards and customized chapters will be added.

Chapter 262: With the number of a battalion, living the life of a brigade commander! (More, please subscribe)

Both Ding Wei and Kong Jie highly praised the development of Su Zheng's independent camp and Xinzhongcun base.

This is indeed the case... Hearing is not as good as seeing... When they arrived at the Xinzhongcun base, they were shocked to see the development of the base and the heroic spirit of the independent battalion. It was indeed extraordinary.

This is the miracle created by Su Zhenghe's independent battalion.

The whole process took just over four months.

This speed is really too fast.

The boss listened to what Ding Wei and Kong Jie said, nodded slightly and said: "Well...that's right...you are all right!"

"After arriving at the Xinzhongcun base, we were really amazed by the development of the base and the style of the independent battalion!"

"Su Zheng is also very good. He did not hide anything at the exchange meeting and shared his thoughts, experiences and methods with us!"

Kong Jie nodded and said, "Yes...Su Zheng is a very good person."

"Boss... to be honest, I think it's a bit of a waste of Su Zheng's ability to be a deputy head!"

"Given his abilities and military achievements, I think it would not be an exaggeration for him to be a regiment commander or even a brigade commander."

Ding Wei also said: "Yes...Now the strength of the independent battalion is almost reaching the strength of a brigade!"

"The original independent battalion had about 2,500 frontline soldiers. Yesterday, we recruited more than 1,000 new soldiers, and today we added more than 600 soldiers. That adds up to more than 4,000 soldiers!"

"If we continue to recruit soldiers at this rate, even though Su Zheng's independent battalion still has the number of a battalion, he will be living the life of a brigade commander!"

"So I think it won't be a big problem for Su Zheng to be a brigade commander."

Indeed, with Su Zheng's abilities and military achievements, he could indeed be a brigade commander.

After all, military ranks and positions are promoted faster in wartime, and everything depends on military achievements.

The boss looked at Ding Wei and Kong Jie and said, "Given Su Zheng's ability, military achievements, and his contributions to our Eighth Route Army, he can indeed be a brigade commander!"

"But I made him the deputy commander for my own purposes and arrangements. I wanted to train him as a general, hone him, and let him accumulate more experience. It was also a test for him!"

Just as Ding Wei said, although Su Zheng's independent battalion is now only a battalion, he is already about to become a brigade commander.

However, the boss also has his own purpose in doing this.

When the boss came to the base this time, he saw with his own eyes the development of the base and the style of the independent battalion, and felt that Su Zheng was a rare talent.

It must be cultivated well.

He will definitely be a general-level talent in the future!

The boss looked at Ding Wei and Kong Jie and said, "Okay... I understand your views on the Independent Battalion and the Xinzhongcun Base!"

"By the way, you guys should get up early tomorrow morning. We will change into civilian clothes and go to the base area to learn about the opinions of the civilians and see what the status of the independent battalion and Su Zheng is in the minds of the civilians!"

Incognito visit!

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang had also visited the common people in the base area in disguise before.

The results were very satisfying, but also somewhat surprising.

Now the boss is also planning to go on a secret visit.

Ding Wei and Kong Jie nodded and said, "Yes, Boss."

This time the boss decided to go on an incognito visit because he wanted to see a different side of the independent battalion and gain a deeper understanding of the development of the Xinzhongcun base.

The next day.

morning.

After finishing breakfast, the boss, Ding Wei and Kong Jie randomly changed into the clothes of ordinary people, and then went deep into the Xinzhongcun base to understand the situation and see the relationship between the independent battalion and the ordinary people. At the same time, they also gained a deeper understanding of the Xinzhongcun base.

At this time, the three of them had already changed into ordinary people's clothes and blended in with the villagers without being discovered at all.

Suzheng Road in Xinzhong Village.

Suzheng Road is the most prosperous and lively main road in the Xinzhongcun base.

Originally, this road had no name. When Su Zheng led the independent battalion into Xinzhong Village and turned a small mountain village into a very lively and prosperous base, the village chief named this road Su Zheng Road.

This is also a kind of affirmation of Su Zheng.

At this time, there were many vendors hawking and trading on Suzheng Road, and it was very lively with people coming and going.

The boss, Ding Wei and Kong Jie felt a little emotional when watching such a lively scene.

Because they rarely see such bustling and prosperous country streets.

Ding Wei said, "Boss, this road is called Su Zheng Road. It is named after Su Zheng. It seems that Su Zheng is still very influential in the base area and is also supported by the people."

The boss nodded.

The three of them disguised themselves as ordinary people and strolled around Suzheng Road. They saw an old lady and a child selling some wild fruits and vegetables, so they went up to chat with them.

Because the Xinzhongcun base has only been developed for more than four months, the entire Xinzhongcun business system is relatively limited and fragile.

Simply put, there are relatively few things to sell, and what is sold can only be ready-made or short-lived crops, handicrafts, etc.

However, Suzheng Road is still quite lively.

The boss squatted down, looked at the wild fruits and vegetables, and started chatting with the old lady.

"Auntie, where did you pick these wild fruits?"

"It's in the hills behind the village, uncle. Let me tell you, this wild fruit is delicious and sweet!"

"how much is it?"

"Three for one yuan!"

“That’s pretty cheap.”

These are all picked or grown by yourself and are not expensive.

One yuan is not a dollar, but one yuan in legal tender.
