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

"Last time, Deputy Commander Su led the independent battalion to ambush the Fourth Brigade and the Japanese Battlefield Observation Group, completely annihilating the Fourth Brigade and more than a hundred Japanese officers from the Japanese Battlefield Observation Group... This military achievement and record is really surprising and shocking. At that time, the chairman paid attention to Deputy Commander Su!"

"At that time, our chairman also wanted to commend him...but in the end, for various reasons, he didn't do so!"

"This time, Deputy Commander Su and your independent battalion have made such outstanding achievements, so we naturally need to reward them well."

As soon as he finished speaking, two of Song Xi's men brought up an envelope containing a commendation and a box containing ten thousand dollars.

Su Zheng took the envelope and said to Wei Dayong beside him, "Monk...what are you still standing there for? Hurry up and take the money awarded by the chairman down!"

Wei Dayong reacted: "Okay!"

Ten thousand dollars is heavy.

But Wei Dayong moved it away with his bare hands.

Su Zheng would definitely accept all the money that was delivered to his door.

It would be a shame not to take advantage of such a good deal.

Anyway, to the outside world...Su Zheng will not suffer any loss.

Su Zheng first asked Wei Dayong to move the ten thousand dollars downstairs first, in case Song Xi tried to win him over and he didn't agree, Song Xi would go back on his word and ask for the ten thousand dollars back.

But it is obvious that the Chairman is more generous than Yan Laoxi.

Old Yan is a very stingy person.

Not joining the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army was just a simple commendation.

But the chairman gave more than ten thousand dollars right away.

This is a good deal for Su Zheng.

After Dayang moved down, Su Zheng looked at the envelope in his hand.

The envelope was written with: From Su Zheng of the 18th Group Army Independent Battalion.

I opened the envelope and found a handwritten commendation from the chairman.

The content of the commendation order is similar to that of the commendation order from the Second War Zone Commander.

First of all, of course, he affirmed the results of the Xinzhongcun battle and praised Su Zhenghe's independent battalion.

Secondly, in the commendation order, the chairman also mentioned the military achievements of the independent battalion in several previous battles and campaigns, such as the Battle of Lijiaopo, the ambush at Hanlue Village, the ambush at the 4th Brigade, etc., and gave full recognition and high praise.

Finally, the Chairman highly recognized Su Zheng’s abilities in his commendation order, affirmed the independent battalion’s military achievements, expressed his appreciation for Su Zheng, etc.

Looking at this letter of commendation, Su Zheng could tell that...the chairman was not just being polite, but really admired Su Zheng.

After reading the commendation order, Su Zheng smiled and said, "Hahaha... I didn't expect the chairman would pay so much attention to a peasant like me! I'm really flattered!"

In his commendation letter, the Chairman mentioned several major battles that the Independent Battalion had previously fought, which shows that he has always been paying attention to the Independent Battalion.

Highly concerned.

That’s why I know what battles the independent battalion had fought before.

We will only pay close attention to someone we recognize and appreciate.

Song Xi smiled and said, "Yes... Deputy Headmaster Su... You don't know that before I came here, the chairman highly praised Deputy Headmaster Su in front of me!"

"Deputy Regiment Commander Su is good at fighting and leading the troops. He has made many outstanding military achievements and severely hit the arrogance of the Japanese. He is a rare anti-Japanese hero and a rare talent!"

"So the chairman arranged for me to be a special envoy to have a good talk with Deputy Head Su."

Someone from the Song family, one of the four major families, came as a special envoy.

As soon as they met, he gave him a reward of ten thousand dollars.

There is also a heartfelt commendation letter.

This level of importance is indeed very high.

Obviously, the chairman's intention to win over others is obvious.

Su Zheng naturally understood what Song Xi meant, and asked calmly, "Then Mr. Song...what do you think we can talk about?"

Song Xi: "Of course... Of course there are many things worth discussing."

"Let's not talk about the distant past... Let's just talk about the defense of Xinzhong Village this time. Deputy Commander Su led a battalion-level combat unit of the Independent Battalion and blocked the crazy attacks of the 9th Brigade and the 4th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Army for five full days!"

"In the end, Deputy Commander Su and the Independent Battalion not only blocked the attack of the 9th Brigade and the 4th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Army, but also annihilated them all, killing more than 12,000 enemies and eventually killing four generals!"

"This is a great victory, a very rare and precious victory!"

"But... I feel that your military headquarters is not doing things properly... or the rewards and punishments are not clear."

Su Zheng looked very interested and said, "Mr. Song... tell me what you think!"

Song Xi continued, "For someone as capable as Deputy Regiment Commander Su, with his military achievements and combat records, it's really a waste of talent for him to be just a deputy commander!"

"Deputy Commander Su is a gold nugget, but your army's headquarters can't find it, and the rewards and punishments are not clear!"

"Deputy Commander Su has made such great military achievements in the defense of Xinzhong Village, but he has not received any awards. I really feel sorry for him!"

The purpose of this is to sow discord!

The method used is similar to that of Guo Hongwen.

As an Eighth Route Army soldier with firm beliefs, how could the relationship between Su Zheng and the Eighth Route Army be so disrupted by just a few words from Song Xi?

Obviously, Song Xi didn't know the relationship between the Independent Battalion and the Eighth Route Army Headquarters.

The independent camp is now developing freely, and all merits and demerits will be rewarded after the three-month deadline.

So after Su Zheng led the independent battalion to win the defense battle of Xinzhong Village, the boss did not reward him immediately.

Of course Su Zheng understood what the boss meant.

No rush either.

Anyway, the credit cannot be avoided.

Su Zheng looked at Song Xi and said, "Then what kind of reward do you think I should get?"

Song Xi said quickly: "If... I mean if... if Deputy Commander Su was in our Central Army, then our chairman would definitely reward him generously!"

"With Deputy Regiment Commander Su's ability and military achievements, he should be at least a Lieutenant General!"

Lieutenant General Division Commander?

This... the chips offered by this chairman are much higher than those offered by Commander Yan of the Second War Zone Headquarters!

Su Zheng was slightly stunned.

Lieutenant General!

Or a division commander?

interesting!

It’s really interesting!

It seems that I hold a very high position in the chairman's mind! !

At least it still has value...

PS: I will update at least four times. Please subscribe and give me rewards. I will update more. The auto-subscription function has been static for the past two days. It's miserable.

Chapter 349: How many levels of military meritorious service can one achieve? Central Army direct troops? (Third update, please subscribe)

Lieutenant General Division Commander!

The conditions offered are higher than those offered by the Second War Zone Headquarters.

After all, the last condition Guo Hongwen offered was the rank of brigadier general.

It seems that Su Zheng has now become a hot commodity in the eyes of the Central Army and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.

Especially when they learned that Su Zheng was still a deputy regiment commander after making so many military achievements, they felt that Su Zheng was frustrated and not being valued, so they thought they had an opportunity to take advantage of him.

But they all thought this matter was too simple.

Or maybe he underestimated Su Zheng too much.

Su Zheng looked at Song Xi and said, "Lieutenant General? This promotion and reward is really not low!"

Now Su Zheng is only a deputy regiment commander. If he is promoted to division commander, his military rank will be raised by several levels!

In terms of military rank, Su Zheng's position as deputy regiment commander corresponds to the rank of lieutenant colonel.

From the rank of lieutenant colonel to lieutenant general, that's three levels in a row!

Moreover, it is essentially a promotion across levels, from colonel to general.

After all, there is still a big difference between a colonel and a general.

Song Xi looked at Su Zhengdao and said, "Yes, I think Deputy Commander Su is a very talented and capable person, but he is somewhat overlooked in the Eighth Route Army!"

"I dare to say that if Deputy Commander Su joins our Central Army, then our chairman will definitely not treat him unfairly."

"Our Central Army is definitely a place suitable for Deputy Commander Su to develop!"

Su Zheng looked at Song Xi calmly and said, "Mr. Song, if I join the Central Army, what bargaining chips will the chairman offer me?"

Hearing this, Song Xi felt that Su Zheng had this intention!

Good thing!

There's a show.

Song Xi quickly said, "Deputy Captain Su, it's like this... Our chairman also hopes that talents like Deputy Captain Su will join us, so he is full of sincerity!"

"If Deputy Regiment Commander Su joins our Central Army, we will grant him the rank and post of Lieutenant General and Division Commander!"

"Deputy Commander Su's independent battalion will be directly reorganized and assigned according to the standards of the Central Army's independent division."

"There are not enough troops. The chairman will arrange to mobilize the relevant troops to join Deputy Commander Su's troops and reorganize them into an independent division of the Central Army!"

"The independent division will be the main force of our Central Army, and its treatment will be much higher than other Central Army units!"

"How is it? This chip is not low, right?"

According to Song Xi's idea, if Su Zheng led the independent battalion to join the Central Army, the independent battalion would be reorganized into an independent division of the Central Army.

The Central Army's independent divisions are equipped according to the standards of the Central Army's direct troops and become the Central Army's direct troops.

Su Zhengjiu served as the commander of the Independent Division of the Central Army and was awarded the rank of lieutenant general.

It is worth mentioning that the Central Army’s direct troops are generally composed of direct generals who graduated from Whampoa Military Academy, and they lead elite troops.

In other words, the commanders of the Central Army’s direct troops were generally students of the chairman of the Whampoa Military Academy.

Moreover, the Central Army's direct troops are the strongest and most elite troops in the Central Army in terms of equipment, military pay and combat effectiveness.

In terms of logistical supplies, whether it is foreign aid weapons or weapons produced by its own arsenals, the Chairman gives priority to allocating them to the direct descendants of the Central Army.

For example, the previously powerful German-equipped division was the direct force of the Central Army, and was equipped with German equipment.

The commanders of the Central Army’s direct troops were generally students from the Whampoa Military Academy.

It is very rare to have Su Zheng, a peasant from a poor family who defected from another camp, become the military commander of the Central Army's direct troops.

It didn't even appear.

This is the first time in history.

It seems that the Chairman really values ​​Su Zhenghe and the Independent Battalion.

He also sincerely wanted to poach members of the Eighth Route Army.

Because now the Chairman is also fully committed to building and expanding his own central army forces, especially the central army's direct troops, to enhance the central army's combat effectiveness.

In the early days of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, both local and central army troops fought bravely and were extremely powerful, which resulted in heavy combat casualties and heavy casualties.

As Qian Bojun said: The Central Army wanted to use the Japanese to eliminate the miscellaneous local troops... This is very obvious.

This was indeed the case. The Chairman took advantage of the War of Resistance to continuously reorganize and eliminate miscellaneous troops.

Either deploy the local troops of the miscellaneous army in the front-line combat positions, let the local troops fight fiercely with the Japanese, and then do not replenish any troops after the combat casualties, or even cancel the organization.

This is also the reason why many local warlord troops could not find their original troops after a war and some stragglers could not find their original troops.

Because after a big war, the original troops may be destroyed.

In addition, the Chairman also arranged central military officers into local troops of the miscellaneous army and transformed these local miscellaneous troops into the central army through the arrangement of personnel and military cadres.
