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

Shinozuka Yoshio looked at Takeshita Shun and said, "Takeshita-kun...if you need our First Army to cooperate with you, just tell us."

"Whether it's intelligence, logistics, weapons and equipment, resources, etc., our First Army will fully cooperate with you unconditionally."

Takeshita Shun: "Thank you, General Shinozuka!"

In order to achieve his first victory, Takeshita Shun must make adequate preparations.

When Yoshio Shinozuka returned to Taiyuan this time, he also began to think about how to quickly eliminate the Independent Battalion and Su Zheng.

If they cannot resolve the threat posed by Su Zheng and the Independent Battalion this time, they will probably be brought to a military court and forced to commit suicide next time.

After allowing the independent battalion to develop stably for more than a month, the Japanese army began to intensively look for ways to deal with the independent battalion.

However, because of the previous disastrous defeat, they would not dare to rashly attack the Xinzhongcun base without full confidence or sufficient troops.

Relatively speaking, the Xinzhongcun base will enter a relatively peaceful and stable period of development.

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

Su Zheng was unaware that Takeshita Shun and Nanzō Yunko had arrived in Taiyuan.

Although Su Zheng arranged for Skynet Intelligence Agency agents to enter Taiyuan, the construction of an intelligence network would not be effective immediately; it would take time.

But if the enemy comes, we will fight back; if the water comes, we will block it with earth. Su Zheng was not afraid of the Japanese attack at all.

Especially now the independent battalion is considered to be strong in both men and horses.

Tens of thousands of troops and a variety of advanced weapons and equipment.

What Su Zheng wants most now is to fight a battle to test the combat effectiveness of the independent battalion.

After all, a troop cannot just increase in numbers without improving its combat effectiveness, otherwise it will become a mob.

Independent camp department.

Su Zheng lacks nothing now.

What is most lacking is the raw materials for the arsenal.

Mainly iron.

Although the independent battalion now has enough gold for military expenses, iron is a very important material and is difficult to buy even with money.

This is also the main reason for limiting the output of independent battalion arsenals.

So Su Zheng is also trying his best to solve the problem of iron raw materials.

Just at this time, Shangguan Yufei brought good news.

Shangguan Yufei came to Su Zheng and said, "Captain, aren't you looking for iron ore? I have a piece of information here. I wonder if you are interested?"

Su Zheng's eyes lit up and he said, "Shangguan, you've also become a bad person...you've learned to keep people in suspense...quickly tell me!"

Shangguan Yufei looked at the battle situation map and said, "I just got accurate intelligence. At Xinfengkou... a batch of iron will arrive at Xinfengkou the day after tomorrow and will stay there for about a day."

"Xinfengkou was a transit point for resources plundered by the Japanese."

"This batch of iron was looted by the Japanese from the northwest of Shanxi, and it has already been refined...which means it is iron, not iron ore!"

"According to intelligence, this batch of iron is quite large, estimated to be hundreds of tons!"

Hundreds of tons?

This is definitely not a small amount.

Su Zheng's eyes lit up.

If we could get these hundreds of tons of iron, the arsenal's output would increase significantly.

Due to production problems at the arsenal, the only main companies equipped with American weapons were the elite company and Zhou Weiguo's 3rd Infantry Company.

If we could get these hundreds of tons of iron, we could at least manufacture M1 Garand rifles and M134 Gatling machine guns for two main companies of more than people.

Su Zheng looked at the location of Xinfengkou and said slowly: "Xinfengkou is in the heart of the enemy-occupied area, and the area is all plains. It is very difficult to set an ambush!"

Shangguan Yufei: "That's right... According to the information I got."

"This transfer station is very important to the Japanese. The looted resources are often transferred here and then transported to the Magic City via freight trains!"

"So there is a full-strength battalion and a full-strength puppet army regiment at the Xinfengkou location!"

"The captain of the Japanese battalion is named Yoshizawa Hirano. The battalion is the Yoshizawa Battalion, with a strength of about 1100 men. It is a Class B battalion under the 33rd Brigade!"

"The puppet army's full-strength regiment is the 111th Regiment of the Imperial Army. The regiment commander is Ma Ming, who was originally a battalion commander of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. After defecting to the enemy, he was promoted to regiment commander. The number of troops is about 1500!"

"Neither Yoshizawa Battalion nor the 111th Regiment has any heavy weapons. They mainly have mortars and Type infantry guns."

"At the same time, in the plain area of ​​Xinfengkou, the Japanese have built solid fortifications and trench positions... and it is also in the enemy's hinterland, so it is not suitable for long-term positional warfare or offensive warfare!"

Shangguan Yufei had a thorough understanding of all the circumstances.

After all the preliminary preparations have been made, it all depends on whether Su Zheng dares to fight.

Su Zheng frowned slightly, nodded and said: "Yes...you are right!"

"But as the saying goes, wealth and honor come in danger. If we can get this batch of iron, it will greatly increase the output of our arsenal!"

Plain open area.

There's no way to ambush!

If a charge attack were launched, the independent battalion would have no advantage at all.

After all, the Japanese have strong fortifications.

At the same time, it is still in the hinterland.

If you are not careful, you might get engulfed.

This battle is not easy to fight.

In fact, with the current strength of the independent battalion, it would be a piece of cake to wipe out the Japanese and puppet troops in Xinfengkou.

But Su Zheng not only had to eat up these Japanese and puppet troops, he also had to have enough time to transport hundreds of tons of iron, which was a problem.

To achieve such a combat goal, to put it simply, it is necessary to fight quickly and decisively.

However, it is not easy to win a quick victory in the plain area of ​​Xinfengkou.

Because once you launch a charge, you will become a sitting duck.

Su was thinking about how to fight a battle.

At this moment, the system's voice suddenly came from my mind: "[Ding Dong, the host is now faced with a choice, whether to attack and completely wipe out the Japanese and puppet troops at Xinfengkou]"

"[Choose one, attack and completely wipe out the Japanese and puppet troops at Xinfengkou, and receive a mysterious lucky draw reward]"

"Warm reminder: The prizes for the mystery draw are unknown. They are completely random rewards from the system. It may be a surprise or a shock."

"【Host, please choose......】"

Mystery draw prize?

It was the first time that Su Zheng encountered such a reward.

The options provided by the system before all gave straightforward rewards.

But I didn’t expect that this time it would be a mysterious lottery reward.

If we do nothing, we can safely get two Type 92 infantry guns.

But...this is not Su Zheng's style.

For the development of the independent camp, Xinfengkou must be fought.

As for how to fight...Su Zheng is still thinking about it.

About ten minutes later, Su Zheng suddenly thought of a tactic to quickly capture Xinfengkou!

Blitzkrieg!

Use blitzkrieg tactics to break through the Japanese and puppet troops' defense lines at Xinfengkou, and then use a large infantry regiment to directly press forward. It is estimated that Xinfengkou can be captured soon.

The independent battalion now has a total of four tanks, a large number of three-wheeled motorcycles, and a cavalry company.

These are highly mobile combat units.

Although it is impossible to use highly mechanized equipment such as tanks, aircraft, armored vehicles, and motorcycles to carry out blitzkrieg.

However, Su Zheng felt that using the only four tanks, conducting coordinated infantry-tank operations, and adding the cavalry company and three-wheeled motorcycles' rapid lightning operations to break through the defense line of the Japanese and puppet troops at Xinfengkou...this should not be a big problem.

As long as we can tear open a gap in the Japanese defensive line and then charge forward with a large troop force, we can win a quick victory.

At the same time, this can also be a good way to test the combat effectiveness of the independent battalion after its expansion.

Thinking of this, Su Zheng smiled and said, "Hahaha... Shangguan... if I don't eat this fat meat that is right in front of my mouth, it would not be like my style!"

"Monk, call a meeting of all the battalion's company commander-level military officers immediately!"

PS: I will add another chapter. Please give me a reward and subscribe automatically. The following plot will definitely be very exciting.

Chapter 362: A rich war that I have never fought in my life, all the main attacks! (First update, please subscribe)

Since Su Zheng has decided to defeat the Japanese and puppet troops and hundreds of tons of iron in Xinfengkou, he must fight a beautiful battle.

At the same time, this is also a battle to test the combat effectiveness of the independent battalion.

Soon, Zhou Weiguo, Lei Zifeng, Yang Zhihua, Xu Yang, Li Dabenshi, Sun Desheng and other military commanders from various companies and units gathered at the battalion headquarters to hold a pre-war meeting.

Su Zheng looked at everyone present and said, "Everyone, gather here... The purpose is very simple, we want to kill the Japanese and puppet troops at Xinfengkou and make a fortune at the same time!"

"Shangguan...please explain the situation to everyone."

"Yes!" Shangguan Yufei nodded and said, "Our intelligence agency has received a piece of information..."

Afterwards, Shangguan Yufei briefly told everyone about the situation at Xinfengkou.

After listening, Zhou Weiguo said, "Captain... isn't it just a battalion and a pseudo-corps? Leave it to our third company!"

"We, the Third Company, guarantee to kill them all and transport these hundreds of tons of iron back!"

Lei Zifeng: "Captain, our Second Company is also fine!"

Zhao Donghai: "Captain, let our elite company take care of this mission. We will ensure that it is accomplished!"

Everyone was arguing over this combat mission!

Although these people hold the military rank of company commander, they are actually already regimental commanders.

After all, they have more than 1,500 troops under their command.

More than 1,500 people... This is equivalent to the strength of a main force regiment.

Su Zheng pressed his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet, and said: "Everyone, stop arguing. This time, I don't plan to specify a unit to fight at Xinfengkou. Instead, I have decided to send the entire battalion out to attack!"

The whole battalion attacks?

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of everyone present changed, some were surprised and surprised.

Zhou Weiguo: "Captain... this is like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut!"

"There is no need to make such a big fuss with only two thousand Japanese and puppet troops!"

Indeed, if the entire independent battalion attacks, there will be tens of thousands of soldiers.

It seems like an overreaction for tens of thousands of independent battalion soldiers to deal with more than 2,000 Japanese and puppet troops.

Su Zheng said calmly: "Everyone, you are the company commander of our independent battalion, the main military cadre... Although you only hold the military rank of company commander, you have at least a thousand soldiers under your command!"

"Please remember that you are the commander!"

"The role of a commander is to achieve victory with the least casualties and cost, not to win at a greater cost in order to show bravery or personal heroism!"

"What we want is victory...We want victory at the lowest cost!"

"Because the lives of our soldiers are very precious!"

"If possible, I would like to use 100,000 people to attack this new peak, and kill them with a direct charge, so that the Internet will be much smaller."

"We are commanders and we are responsible for the lives of our soldiers."

Zhou Weiguo, Lei Zifeng, Zhao Donghai and others all nodded.

Indeed, if we use the strength of a company and provide artillery cover, we can definitely capture the Japanese and puppet troops in Xinfengkou.
