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

Legal tender is the legal currency issued by the people's government.

Because of the war, the legal currency has continued to depreciate and there is no longer anything to buy.

So one yuan can buy three wild fruits, which is not expensive.

The boss chatted with the old lady for a while, then said, "By the way... old lady, the three of us are refugees who have just arrived at the Xinzhong Village base. We would like to learn about the situation of the Xinzhong Village base from you. Would you mind telling us?"

Auntie: "Of course... I tell you... you have chosen the right place by coming to the Xinzhongcun base!"

"The Xinzhong Village base is a relatively stable place. We have the independent battalion to help us resist the Japanese invaders. The independent battalion and Commander Su are also very kind to us, giving us a place to stay in this chaotic world."

"I am also a refugee... I have finally settled down here after fleeing here. It's not easy!"

Boss: "Then can you survive in the Xinzhong Village base? Can you have enough food and warm clothes?"

Auntie: "Of course... We all have to be self-reliant."

"When you first arrive at Xinzhong Village, if you really have difficulties, you can go to the independent camp to seek help, such as borrowing some food, but you have to pay it back."

"After we settle down in Xinzhong Village, the Independence Camp will allocate some land or jobs based on our actual situation, so that we can be self-reliant instead of relying on handouts to survive!"

The Xinzhongcun base is not very large, so it restricts the development of many industries.

After all, there is only so much space, so there are naturally limitations.

However, there is no big problem in being self-reliant.

The common people or refugees of Xinzhong Village can enter and leave the base freely, and can go to nearby counties and towns to trade.

The boss nodded and asked, "What do you think of the independent battalion commander Su Zheng and the independent battalion?"

Before the old lady could speak, the six or seven-year-old kid beside him spoke first: "Brother Su Zheng is a great hero, a great anti-Japanese hero."

The boss was startled, his eyes fell on the child, a kind smile appeared on his face, and he asked, "Oh? Really? Su Zheng is a great anti-Japanese hero? Why do you think so?"

The child said, "Because...Because Brother Su Zheng helped us fight the Japanese and protected our safety!"

"Besides, with Brother Su Zheng and the brothers from the Independent Battalion here, our Xinzhong Village is safe... We don't have to go hungry while fleeing."

"I...I want to join the independent battalion to fight the Japanese when I grow up."

Although his voice was rather childish, his tone was full of determination.

It is said that children will not cheat or tell lies.

From the evaluation of Su Zheng by this six-year-old child, we can see Su Zheng's status in the minds of ordinary people.

Ding Wei and Kong Jie looked at each other, and everything was said without words.

Being able to elicit such praise from a six-year-old child shows that Su Zheng is indeed very popular.

Where the people support us, we will be invincible.

The old lady then spoke up, "You have just arrived at the Xinzhong Village base, right? You probably don't know much about our Commander Su and the Independent Battalion. Let me tell you about them!"

"The Eighth Route Army Independent Battalion is different from other troops (Wang Qian Zhao). This is a unit that fights for the people wholeheartedly. It is very brave and good at fighting against the Japanese. It is also good to us ordinary people. When something happens, it thinks of us ordinary people first!"

"Before the Japanese attacked our Xinzhong Village, the soldiers of the independent battalion first asked us ordinary people to enter the air-raid shelter, and they were outside to provide cover... This is truly an anti-Japanese force fighting for the people!"

"As for Captain Su, he is an anti-Japanese hero. Under his leadership, the independent battalion won many battles and also led us to develop the Xinzhongcun base, which gave us a place to settle down in this chaotic world. He is really a very good and capable officer!"

"We ordinary people have a very good relationship with Captain Su, and he is not arrogant... He will even chat with us when he has time!"

"Unlike some officers of the Central Army and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, who put on airs and only cared about their own enjoyment and didn't care about the lives of ordinary people. There is a world of difference between them."

"I tell you, you made the right choice to join the Xinzhongcun base."

"This place is great, the Eighth Route Army Independent Battalion is great, and Commander Su is great too... Don't worry, you won't be bullied."

Obviously, this lady also thinks very highly of Su Zheng and the Independent Battalion...

PS: I will add another chapter for the reward. Is there any reward or automatic subscription? Keep going! .

Chapter 263 The boss went to the base incognito! The result was shocking! (More updates, please subscribe)

The boss, Ding Wei and Kong Jie listened to the old lady's evaluation of the independent battalion and Su Zheng, which could be said to be unexpected but reasonable.

What was unexpected was that the old lady and the child had such a high opinion of Su Zheng.

It is reasonable that since Su Zheng has developed the Xinzhongcun base so well, the people will definitely support it.

The boss looked at the somewhat excited lady and then said, "Auntie, does this mean that you ordinary people are very supportive of Su Zheng and the Independent Battalion?"

The old lady nodded: "Of course...Su Zheng is the guardian god of our base, and the independent battalion is the guard force of our base, so of course we support him!"

"It is the protection of Su Zheng and the independent battalion that has saved us from being oppressed and killed by the Japanese devils!"

The boss: "That's right...Okay, Auntie, thank you. I'll buy three wild fruits!"

Auntie: "Okay, okay...thank you!"

Afterwards, Ding Wei paid for three wild fruits.

The three of them were walking along Suzheng Road while eating wild fruits.

As he walked, Ding Wei saw an old man.

This old man looks to be in his fifties or sixties. He should have experienced important periods such as the late Qing Dynasty, the early Republic of China, the warlords' civil war, and the Anti-Japanese War.

Ding Wei walked up to the old man and said, "Hello, uncle. We are new refugees. We want to learn about the independent camp, Su Zheng, and the Xinzhong Village base!"

Upon hearing this, the old man gave a thumbs up and said, "Su Zheng and the Independent Battalion? That's it!"

A thumbs up straight away!

It represents everything!

it is more than words.

Ding Wei: "Are the soldiers of the independent battalion good to you? Is there a place for you to stay in the Xinzhong Village base?"

Uncle: "Of course I can... I have lived through the Qing Dynasty, the early Republic of China, the warlords' melee, and the current Anti-Japanese War. I have been fleeing for most of my life!"

"It can be said that the only place where I can have a place to stay and a sense of belonging is the Xinzhongcun base!"

"I think Xinzhong Village is a good place. The Eighth Route Army Independent Battalion is an anti-Japanese force for the common people. They are determined to fight the Japanese, and it's good for us too!"

"Captain Su is the patron saint of our base. He is a man who constantly creates miracles!"

"I heard that Xinzhong Village was originally a small mountain village with a small population. However, after Su Zheng led his troops to Xinzhong Village, he developed the Xinzhong Village base to its current size in just a few months, expanding it several times."

"So Captain Su is really a very powerful person, and we ordinary people all support him very much!"

"To be honest...if I were not too old, I would have wanted to join the independent battalion and protect the Xinzhongcun base, a place where we could make a living without difficulty."

Ding Wei nodded and said, "Okay...sir...I understand."

Indeed, after Su Zheng led his troops here, the area of ​​the entire Xinzhongcun base expanded significantly.

In the past, Xinzhong Village was just a small mountain village, but now with the development of the Xinzhong Village base, its area has expanded three times, and it is no longer a small base.

Moreover, the common people of the Xinzhongcun base and the independent battalion have now formed a community of shared destiny and a relationship of shared destiny.

Once the Xinzhongcun base was attacked and swept by the Japanese, the tens of thousands of civilians in the base would have no place to live.

Therefore, the people will definitely strongly support protecting the security of the base.

They also don't want the paradise-like base built by the independent battalion to be destroyed.

This is also one of the reasons why the independent camp can receive strong support from the people.

After listening to the old man's words, the boss nodded repeatedly and said, "It seems that Su Zheng has done a really good job in running this base."

"And the most important thing is to gain the support and advocacy of the people."

Kong Jie: "Yes... This should be the voice of the people."

Afterwards, the boss, Ding Wei and Kong Jie interviewed several ordinary people in succession and got similar results.

Whether it is the development of the Xinzhongcun base or the independent battalion and Su Zheng, they have all been praised and supported by the people.

Now the Independent Camp and Su Zheng have the support of the people.

What the people want.

This may be the most powerful logistical support for the independent battalion.

After all, this is supported by tens of thousands of ordinary people.

The boss, Ding Wei and Kong Jie interviewed men, women and children of all ages, and they all praised the Independent Battalion and Su Zheng.

This shows that the people in the base area support Su Zheng.

This result surprised the boss.

They were on a secret visit.

The results obtained are naturally very real.

This shows that the independent camp has indeed developed very well under the leadership of Su Zheng and has a solid mass base.

The boss said thoughtfully: "No wonder the independent camp can develop so fast, perhaps it has something to do with its strong mass base!"

"When the people support the Independence Battalion so much, how can this unit not be strong?"

Ding Wei nodded and said, "Yes... Boss... The most amazing thing is that Su Zheng was able to unite the hearts and minds of so many people in the base. The people's will is what matters the most!"

Kong Jie: "We visited so many people incognito, and most of them praised the Independent Battalion and Su Zheng. It is really rare to be able to achieve this level."

"After we entered the base, we also felt that the independent battalion had a special relationship with the local people."

"Now that we have a deeper understanding, we feel that it is amazing that the independent battalion can integrate with the common people!"

The boss grinned and said, "Hahaha... This Su Zheng is really a talent. He can build such a good mass base. Not bad, not bad, quite good!"

"Kong Jie, Ding Wei, you need to study harder!"

Ding Wei and Kong Jie nodded, both with a bitter smile on their faces.

There are many things that they cannot learn just because they want to.

After the boss, Ding Wei and Kong Jie finished their incognito visit, they immediately returned to the independent battalion headquarters.

At this time, Su was busy.

According to Su Zheng’s plan, the capacity of the Xinzhongcun base needs to be expanded.

Continue to expand the scope of the Xinzhongcun base.

After all, more and more ordinary people and refugees are pouring in, and the original land and area of ​​Xinzhong Village are completely insufficient.

It is necessary to expand and develop.

Even if the Xinzhongcun base is expanded, the core of the entire base must be the current Xinzhongcun.

Seeing the boss coming back, Su Zheng smiled and said, "Boss, Captain Ding, Captain Kong, you are back?"

The boss walked towards Su Zheng with a smile on his face and said, "Su Zheng, we went to the village for a private visit this morning."

Private visit via incognito?

Su Zheng was not afraid either.

After all, whether it is the independent camp or the Xinzhongcun base, they are all real developments inside and out, not just some empty face-saving projects.

Therefore, even if all the leaders of the Eighth Route Army Senior Officers Exchange Group went on a private visit in disguise, Su Zheng was not afraid of any problems.

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang had also conducted incognito visits before, and the results they obtained were all positive.

Su Zheng looked at the boss and said, "Boss, what was the result of the incognito visit?"

The boss couldn't help but give a thumbs up and said, "Not bad... Su Zheng, you have really made the Xinzhongcun base very successful. The people highly appreciate your troops and you. Very good!"

Ding Wei: "Yeah...Su Zheng, you really made the military and the people feel like one family, that's amazing!"

Kong Jie: "Su Zheng, I now understand why your independent battalion has been able to develop so quickly. It turns out that you have won the hearts of the people!"

Su Zheng was not surprised to see such comments from the three people.

After all, he is very confident.

Su Zheng: "Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. I understand this principle, so I have spent a lot of energy to deal with the problems of the people!"

"Only with the support of the people and the will of the people can our troops become stronger!"

The boss nodded and said, "Well said... Our Eighth Route Army should be the common people's army. Su Zheng, you have done a good job in this regard!"
