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

"Our Commander Yan really admires Deputy Commander Su. If he joins our Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, he will definitely achieve great things!"

Su Zheng refused directly and decisively: "Don't think about it, please go back!"

"By the way, please tell your Commander Yan that he should not be too smooth. The things he did...we all know that people who are two-faced will not have a good ending!"

"I'll give him a clear path... If he is willing to lead the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army to join our independent battalion... or join our Eighth Route Army, then perhaps there will be a good result."

Good guy!

What a great guy!

Originally, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army wanted to incorporate Su Zhenghe's independent battalion.

Now Su Zheng is going to directly incorporate the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.

What a guy!

After hearing this, Guo Hongwen felt like he was gushing out blood from his chest.

This...this Su Zheng really doesn't take the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army seriously, right?

A small deputy regiment commander is clamoring to incorporate the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army?

Crazy?

Guo Hongwen could see that Su Zheng was determined not to join the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.

There is no point in continuing the conversation.

The Shanxi-Suiyuan Army was asked to join the Eighth Route Army.

That's certainly impossible.

Guo Hongwen looked at Su Zhengdao and said, "Okay... Deputy Captain Su, since we have come to this point, I don't think there is any need to continue the conversation!"

"We, the Jinsui Army, are sincere... If Deputy Commander Su ever comes to his senses, then he can come to our Jinsui Army. The door of our Jinsui Army is always open to Deputy Commander Su!"

"Before I leave... I still want to say something to each other. I still think that our Jinsui Army is suitable for the development of Deputy Commander Su!"

"In our Jinsui Army, with Deputy Commander Su's ability and contributions, he will definitely be more than just a deputy commander."

After saying this, Guo Hongwen turned around and left.

The last sentence is also intended to sow discord between Su Zheng and the Eighth Route Army. The subtext is: You, Su Zheng, have made such great contributions and are so capable, but you are only a deputy regiment commander. How unworthy it is!

Su Zheng was an Eighth Route Army soldier with firm beliefs and determination.

They certainly won't be provoked by just one or two words from Guo Hongwen.

Looking at Guo Hongwen's leaving back, Su Zheng sneered faintly.

Coincidentally, at this time, the boss also came to Su Zheng's office.

He happened to see Guo Hongwen leaving wearing the uniform of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.

The boss walked into the office and did not ask about the purpose of Shanxi Suiyuan Army officer Guo Hongwen's visit.

Because it’s trust.

Seeing Su Zheng busy, the boss said: "Su Zheng... Let me tell you, I will be back to the headquarters tomorrow!"

"I've been in your base for so many days, it's time to go back!"

After the defense battle of Xinzhongcun ended, the boss did not leave the headquarters immediately.

The boss did not wander around during the days he stayed in the Xinzhongcun base.

This is because the boss wants to see how the independent battalion deals with post-war issues.

A unit's post-war recovery capability is a decisive factor in determining how strong the unit is.

If a unit is unable to carry out post-war processing and restore its combat strength after experiencing a major war, then such a unit is not a truly powerful unit.

A truly powerful army is one that will eventually quickly recover its combat effectiveness no matter how big the battle or how great the difficulties it encounters.

Simply put, the strength of a unit depends on its self-recovery ability.

Obviously, the independent battalion's post-war handling work and the troops' recovery capabilities have impressed the boss.

After the defense battle of Xinzhong Village, the independent battalion lost 3642 soldiers and more than were injured, which was a huge loss.

However, the independent battalion carried out related work quickly and orderly after the war, and the independent battalion was also rapidly recovering from recruiting soldiers, building defensive fortifications in a hurry, and providing stable logistics support... All these show that the independent battalion has a strong self-recovery ability.

At the same time, this shows that the independent battalion has strong self-recovery capabilities.

The old man finally witnessed the extraordinary strength of a powerful army.

Therefore, when the boss had a clear understanding of the independent camp, he naturally wanted to leave.

Su Zheng nodded and said, "Okay... Boss, our base and independent camp welcome you at any time!"

"I also know that you have to leave because you are busy with military affairs, and I will not try to keep you!"

"When are you leaving tomorrow? I'll arrange for the special forces or the guard squad to see you off!"

The boss said: "No need. Isn't the commander of the 386th Brigade going to come to the base tomorrow? I can go back with him then!"

Su Zheng nodded.

As the commander of the independent battalion, Su Zheng was naturally aware that the commander of the 386th Brigade was coming to the Xinzhongcun base.

Because he received a telegram from the brigade headquarters just this morning.

The brigade commander is coming to the base.

As for the purpose...the telegram did not say.

What Su Zheng didn't expect was that the brigade commander's purpose of coming to the base this time was very simple.

He came with a commendation from Shancheng.

The main reason was that the brigade commander wanted to visit Su Zheng’s Xinzhongcun base and to express his condolences to the independent battalion that had just experienced a major battle.

When the brigade commander arrives at the base, he will certainly be as shocked as the boss.

After all, the development of the Xinzhongcun base far exceeded his expectations.

The strength of the independent camp also made him incredible.

Su Zheng nodded and said, "Okay...but for safety reasons, I'll also let the special forces escort them when the time comes!"

"You are the boss, there can't be any problems!"

The boss no longer refused.

After a pause, Su Zheng looked at the boss and said, "Boss, the Jinsui Army just arranged a so-called special envoy liaison to come and want to talk to me!"

confessed.

Su Zheng confessed.

Although the boss had no problem with it, Su Zheng still decided to confess.

Because trust is mutual.

Boss: "Oh? What did you talk about? I saw that the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army liaison officer looked a little unhappy when he left. I'm sure they didn't reach an agreement, right?"

PS: I will continue to update four chapters today, one reward and one automatic subscription for extra chapters, begging for free flowers and monthly tickets.

Chapter 334: Are there any kings, princes, generals or ministers of different races? (Third update, please subscribe)

The boss was very happy to see Su Zheng took the initiative to talk to him about this matter.

This shows that Su Zheng is trustworthy.

Trust is mutual.

Su Zheng was so frank that the boss admired him even more.

Guo Hongwen's arrival did not have any effect.

Not only can he not win over Su Zheng.

Moreover, it will not affect the relationship between Su Zheng and the Eighth Route Army.

Su Zheng looked at the boss, nodded, and said truthfully: "It's true that we didn't reach an agreement!"

"This special envoy of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army is named Guo Hongwen. His purpose in coming to me is very simple. He wants to bring me and the independent battalion into the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. This is to pry the Eighth Route Army out of its entourage!"

"Guo Hongwen, on behalf of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, talked to me and said that he would grant me the rank of major general and the position of brigade commander, as well as various generous conditions. However, I ignored him and directly issued an order to expel me."

"So his face looks bad!"

To be honest, the conditions offered by the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army were very generous.

But Su Zheng either has a lot of milk or has many mothers!

He said he was an Eighth Route Army soldier with firm beliefs.

Boss: "This old man Yan is really nothing!"

"When the Ninth Brigade and the Fourth Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Army besieged Xinzhong Village, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army just sat on the mountain and watched the fight. Now that they see the strength of your independent battalion, they come to win you over. How shameless!"

Su Zheng: "That's right... That's why I responded to him in the same way!"

"It's obvious that the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army wanted to use the Japanese to weaken and contain the development of our Eighth Route Army, but we didn't expect that our independent battalion would turn defeat into victory and wipe out more than 10,000 Japanese and puppet troops. Then the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army wanted to win me over!"

"I, Su Zheng, am not a noble saint, but I am definitely not a person who clings to his mother's milk!"

"He, Old Man Yan, wants to win me over... that's impossible!"

Yan Laoxi's meaning is very clear: your independent battalion is the fastest growing and has the strongest combat effectiveness among the Eighth Route Army. If I just want to win you over to join our Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, then the threat from the Eighth Route Army will be eliminated soon, right?

The idea is naive.

Even though he was offered generous conditions, Su Zheng decisively refused.

Seeing Su Zheng being so frank, the boss naturally knew that he had a clear conscience and had no second thoughts about the Eighth Route Army.

During the time he spent with Su Zheng, the boss, who had seen countless people, naturally saw what kind of person Su Zheng was.

Now that people from the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army have come to poach our talents, this further proves the boss's point of view.

Boss: "Su Zheng... I was right about you!"

"As you and your troops become more famous and gain more military achievements, all parties will try to win you over!"

"Now it's the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, and in the future it may be the Central Army. Even the puppet army and the Japanese devils want to win you over!"

"So I hope you can understand why you are fighting, and I hope you can stand firm in your beliefs and your military duties!"

Su Zheng nodded and said, "Don't worry, Boss... I know how to choose!"

As a time traveler, it would be really stupid if Su Zheng chose the wrong camp.

The boss looked at Su Zheng, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Su Zheng, there is something I still want to tell you."

"It was this time that your independent battalion completely wiped out the Ninth Brigade and the Fourth Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Army and killed four Japanese puppet generals. You have made great military achievements and achieved a sensational victory!"

"According to our Eighth Route Army's reward and punishment system, you should be rewarded in many ways!"

"But Li Yunlong and I have an agreement that during the three months of the New First Regiment's independent development, all the military merits and mistakes made by the New First Regiment will be settled together after three months!"

"That is to say, the headquarters will not reward you so quickly for your meritorious service this time. Instead, they will give you a unified reward two months later!"

"I hope you understand."

The boss gave Li Yunlong's new regiment three months to develop.

However, during this period, the boss and Li Yunlong agreed not to give rewards or punishments.

Therefore, the boss and the headquarters will not reward the independent battalion and Su Zheng immediately.

As the commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army, he certainly cannot change his orders every day, as this will undermine his dignity and authority.

Su Zheng naturally understood this.

Su Zheng nodded and said, "It's okay... I understand!"

The boss grinned and said, "Hahaha...Su Zheng, I knew you were someone who understood the headquarters."

"But don't worry, every contribution you and the Independent Battalion have made will be recorded by the headquarters, and you will definitely be rewarded!"

Su Zheng: "Boss... since you have an agreement with Captain Li, there is no need to rush. There are still two months left anyway!"

The boss gave Li Yunlong another three months of free development time, and now there is more than a month but less than two months left.
