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

A large number of mortars!

There are also various light machine guns and rifles.

In addition to these weapons and equipment, there are also a large number of bullets, rations, canned food, grenades, artillery shells, etc.

It can be said that these captured spoils were quite rich.

The only regret is that the artillery of the 9th Brigade was destroyed.

Type 120 mm howitzer.

Type 94 75mm mountain gun.

These are all good things!

It can enhance the artillery strike capability of the independent battalion.

But these guns were destroyed.

What a pity!

The boss looked at the spoils seized by the independent battalion, laughed and looked at Su Zheng and said: "Su Zheng...you have seized a lot of spoils this time!"

"Your independent camp was already extremely wealthy, and now you have become even richer!"

"Your independent camp is now a local rich man!"

"We even captured the Japanese tanks... We made a fortune... We really made a fortune."

To be honest, the boss was a little envious of such rich spoils!

tank!

Light and heavy machine guns!

Mortar!

……

These are all good equipment and good things for the Eighth Route Army!

Now many Eighth Route Army troops are still very poor.

There is a severe shortage of guns and ammunition.

Many weapons are still relatively backward, such as the Hanyang type and the old sleeve type.

However, as an independent battalion of the Eighth Route Army, it was really rich.

Not only did the base develop quite prosperously, but the independent battalion also lacked nothing.

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

Guns, ammunition, food, drink, toilet... nothing is lacking.

After the defense battle of Xinzhongcun, the 9th Brigade of the Japanese Army and the 4th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Army were completely wiped out, and a large amount of spoils were seized, which made us rich again.

Rich!

Getting richer and richer.

Let’s not talk about anything else, let’s just talk about the tank equipment.

Other Eighth Route Army units have no tanks at all, and now only the Eighth Route Army Independent Battalion has them.

Although it is just a small tank with weak combat effectiveness.

Su Zheng seized the Douding tank and planned to further modify it to enhance its combat effectiveness.

For example, increasing the thickness of its steel plate and so on.

Otherwise... it's too weak to take a beating.

On the other hand, perhaps only independent nutrition can afford tanks.

Whether it was the captured Douding tank from the Japanese or the Sherman M4 tank awarded by the system...if it were other Eighth Route Army troops, it would be disposable equipment.

That is, after the shells are fired and the gasoline is used up, they become scrap metal.

Because there is not strong enough logistical support to maintain the tanks.

But independent camps can!

The independent battalion has strong logistical support and can produce artillery shells independently. It also reserves a certain amount of gasoline and diesel, which can ensure the tank's continuous combat capability.

The same applies to other weapons and equipment such as the Type 92 infantry gun.

If other Eighth Route Army units captured the Type 92 infantry gun, they would have one less shell to fire.

However, the independent battalion has its own arsenal and can produce its own products, which solves many problems.

Therefore, the logistics support capability of a unit is very important.

Su Zheng nodded and said, "Yes... the spoils captured this time are indeed rich, but it's a pity that all the Japanese artillery pieces were destroyed, otherwise our independent battalion's artillery strike capability would be even stronger!"

"As for the Type 38 rifle and other standard rifles, our independent battalion currently has an excess of them. I plan to hand over some of them to the headquarters so that they can be distributed to our brother units with outdated equipment."

The boss was very surprised when he heard this.

PS: I beg for a monthly ticket and an automatic subscription... This automatic subscription doesn't increase no matter how much I beg... In addition, in the new month, I beg for a broken egg reward, thank you.

Chapter 315: Handing over a division's equipment shocked the Eighth Route Army headquarters! (Fourth update, please subscribe)

I heard that Su Zheng was going to hand over his equipment and supplies to the headquarters, and let the headquarters arrange for distribution to other Eighth Route Army units.

This surprised the boss very much.

Originally according to the agreement between the boss and Li Yunlong.

During the three months of independent development, all units under the New 1st Regiment did not need to ask their superiors for permission for any battles, and all spoils captured did not need to be handed in.

Therefore, the boss was very envious when he saw the equipment of the independent battalion.

But according to the rules, Su Zheng does not need to hand it over.

If Su Zheng doesn't hand over part of the spoils, the boss can't do anything.

Although the boss could order Su Zheng to hand over the spoils and directly rob.

But this is very detrimental to the boss's authority and image.

Changing orders every day!

It's hard to convince people.

So when Su Zheng took the initiative to hand over part of the spoils, the boss was very happy.

Su Zheng is not a saint, but he is not a stingy person either!

There are quite a lot of weapons and equipment in the independent battalion’s armory.

There were many small battles.

Just by completely annihilating the 4th Brigade, and this time completely annihilating the 9th Brigade and the 4th Brigade of the Imperial Army, we have seized the equipment of more than 17,000 people.

In addition, when the Lijia Town mutiny occurred, Su Zheng took advantage of the situation and obtained the "717" equipment for nearly two thousand people.

The total amount of supplies and equipment here is enough for 20,000 people.

In addition, there are independent battalion arsenals that produce and use American equipment for their own use.

In addition, for example, after the Battle of Wanjia Town, the Battle of Lijiaopo, the Battle of Teng County, and so on... the independent battalion now has a variety of equipment, which can at least equip a force of nearly 30,000 people!

But there are not so many people in the independent camp now.

At its peak, the independent battalion had only about 5,000 people.

There are now equipment for more than 30,000 people in the equipment warehouse, but there is no need to use so much equipment at all.

Therefore, instead of letting these equipment gather dust in the armory, it would be better to give them to other Eighth Route Army brother units.

Only in this way can these weapons and equipment be effectively brought into play and the lives of many soldiers can be saved.

The development of the Eighth Route Army is now very unbalanced.

The full ones are so full that they die.

Starving to death.

Many Eighth Route Army troops were poorly equipped and lacked ammunition.

Therefore, once encountering the enemy, let alone the Japanese troops, even if they encountered the puppet army, it would take a lot of casualties and cost to win.

After all, with backward equipment and lack of ammunition, one can only fill the gap with life and body... This is a very cruel reality on the battlefield.

Therefore, Su Zheng decided to take out some Type 38 rifles and Type 99 light machine guns from the independent battalion's equipment depot and hand them over to the headquarters, so that the headquarters could distribute them to the troops with backward and poor equipment.

Of course, Su Zheng would not hand over advanced guns and artillery such as the M1 Garand rifle, M134 Gatling machine gun, and some Type infantry guns.

After all, the current priority is to meet the independent battalion’s own weapons needs.

Once all independent battalions are equipped with American equipment, the arsenal can also consider delivering American equipment to other brother units.

However, the independent battalion had an excess of Japanese equipment such as the Type 38 rifle, the Type 99 light machine gun, etc.

Hand it over to the headquarters... and distribute it to the brother units of the Eighth Route Army, only then can it play a role.

The boss looked at Su Zheng with great joy and said, "Good...Su Zheng...this is great!"

"Su Zheng, to be honest, our Eighth Route Army is also expanding."

"The speed of expansion is too fast, which has caused our weapons and equipment to fail to keep up."

"Plus, the weapons and equipment of our Eighth Route Army were not very good to begin with, the equipment was backward, and ammunition was extremely scarce... Therefore, we were very short of weapons and ammunition!"

After a pause, the boss said with a bit of a smile: "How does the saying go... drought kills those who are in drought, and flood kills those who are in flood!"

"Other troops are all outdated in equipment and are short of ammunition, but your independent battalion is really rich and even your words are full of grease... You are really rich!"

"Now that you are willing to voluntarily hand over some of your equipment, this is of course a good thing!"

"Not bad...Su Zheng, you have a broad vision...very good!"

Now the boss appreciates Su Zheng even more.

What a pattern!

The pattern is too big!

After seizing so much equipment, they were willing to hand it over voluntarily... This is a very rare situation.

Su Zheng: "Boss... Of course I am very clear about the situation of our army's weapons and equipment."

"Compared to other units of our army, our independent battalion is indeed relatively well-off. We have no shortage of ammunition and weapons and equipment."

"So I decided to take out the equipment of 10,000 people and hand it over to the headquarters. The equipment of these 10,000 people mainly consists of Type 38 rifles, and a small number of Type 99 light machine guns!"

"Boss... I have made a promise... I will not hand over the equipment like Type 92 heavy machine guns, Type 92 infantry guns, mortars, Gatling guns, etc. to the headquarters... because our independent battalion is short of these equipment now!"

The independent battalion now has no shortage of equipment and ammunition, but lacks advanced weapons and equipment.

If the independent battalion had been fully equipped with American equipment, at least two thousand fewer people could have been sacrificed in the defense of Xinzhongcun.

Equipment is a very important factor in determining combat effectiveness.

The boss naturally didn't argue and laughed, "Hahaha...Su Zheng, I understand what you mean!"

"I'm sure you'll voluntarily hand over the weapons and equipment of 10,000 people. I'll be very happy already!"

"I also know that your independent battalion is currently lacking advanced equipment, so those M1 Garand rifles, Gatling machine guns, Type infantry guns... although these are good things... the headquarters will not let you hand them over!"

"Besides, the headquarters wants to build you into the strongest ace unit of our Eighth Route Army, so we will definitely not let you hand over these advanced equipment!"

The boss has decided to carry out a plan to build Su Zheng's independent battalion into the strongest ace unit of the Eighth Route Army. He also intends to allocate resources from the headquarters to help the independent battalion become stronger. He will definitely not ask the independent battalion to hand over advanced weapons and equipment.

This is a very simple truth.

Moreover, this time Su Zhengken took out weapons and equipment for 10,000 people, which was already very generous.

Because this is a standard division equipment.
