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

Li Yunlong happily poured wine for the brigade commander.

Brigade Commander Chen took a sip of wine and said, "Come on... I'm not here to call you to task this time, so stop trying to please me!"

Hearing this, Li Yunlong and others breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Li Yunlong's new regiment is still in the stage of independent development.

During this period, all military operations of the New 1st Regiment could be arranged by Li Yunlong himself.

But even so, it was still inappropriate for Li Yunlong to rashly attack Ping'an County.

After all, I acted on impulse.

Li Yunlong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Hehehe...that's fine, Brigade Commander...I was just afraid that you would come and call me to task."

The brigade commander looked at Li Yunlong and said, "Li Yunlong...you are so brave. You dare to attack the county town with only one regiment. I think it was Su Zheng's independent battalion that gave you the courage!"

Brigade Commander Chen is naturally very clear about the combat effectiveness and achievements of the independent battalion.

However, the brigade commander did not know how many people the New 1st Regiment had before attacking Ping'an County, nor did he know how many people the independent battalion had.

Li Yunlong said proudly: "Brigade Commander, you are right. It is because the New 1st Regiment has Su Zheng's independent battalion that I dare to attack Ping'an County!"

"Isn't the result pretty good? Our New 1st Regiment not only recovered Ping'an County, but also wiped out more than 20,000 Japanese puppet troops, including the 2nd Division. Brigade Commander... just based on the record, you can't punish me, right?"

Completely wiped out the Second Division?

Completely annihilated the elite Type A Division 2nd Division?

As soon as these words came out, the brigade commander's face instantly became shocked, and he looked at Su Zheng in amazement...

The brigade commander knew that the New 1st Regiment was attacking Ping'an County, but he did not know the specific situation and did not send a telegram to the independent battalion.

So Brigade Commander Chen did not know that Su Zheng's independent battalion had completely wiped out the Second Division.

Now hearing what Li Yunlong said, the brigade commander was naturally very shocked.

shocked!

shocked!

His eyes were full of disbelief.

It's amazing.

If the Second Division is completely wiped out... this will definitely be a shocking result.

The brigade commander came back to his senses and looked at Su Zheng in surprise, "Su Zheng... this... is this true? Did your independent battalion really wipe out the elite Second Division? An entire division?"

"According to the Japanese's battle sequence, the Second Division is a Type A division, and it is also under the Kwantung Army's battle sequence. How could it appear in Ping'an County?"

Senseless!

shocked!

The brigade commander still hasn't figured out what happened.

Su Zheng explained: "Brigade Commander...Yes, our independent battalion took out the Second Division while attacking Ping'an County!"

"After a fierce battle, we completely wiped out the elite Second Division and killed the commander of the Second Division, Yoshimoto Sadaichi and Okazaki Saburo."

"As for the reason why the Second Division is here, it's because the Kwantung Army is heading south!"

"The Kwantung Army is heading south to deal with our anti-Japanese forces in North China, especially our Eighth Route Army!"

"The reason why they appeared in Ping'an County was just a coincidence. We were going to attack Ping'an County, and the Kwantung Army happened to pass by Ping'an County on its way south, so the Kwantung Army's Second Division was involved in this battle!"

"Although we won this battle, our independent battalion also paid a heavy price."

The brigade commander asked, "How many people from your independent battalion were killed or sacrificed?"

Su Zheng: "More than 8,000 people were killed and more than 3,000 were injured. The loss was heavy."

Hearing this, the brigade commander looked at Su Zheng in surprise and said, "Su Zheng? In this battle... your independent battalion lost more than 8,000 people killed or sacrificed, and more than 3,000 people injured? How many people are there in your independent battalion?"

Su Zheng: "The total number of troops I brought back this time is more than 12,000."

When the personnel report was given, the brigade commander was instantly surprised.

Hiss hiss hiss...

Hearing Su Zheng's affirmative answer, the brigade commander couldn't help but take a breath and said in amazement: "Su Zheng, I didn't expect the combat effectiveness of your independent battalion to be so strong. It even killed the elite Second Division. It's amazing. It's worthy of being the ace unit of our Eighth Route Army!"

"Su Zheng, this time in the battle to capture Ping'an County...your independent battalion gave us another big surprise and unexpected event. A single battalion completely wiped out the Second Division and recovered Ping'an County, demonstrating the power of our Eighth Route Army. Well done."

Su Zheng: "You are too kind, Brigade Commander."

Brigade Commander: "No, no, no... This is not an exaggeration, this is the truth, the development of your independent battalion is really surprising!"

"In just over two months, your independent battalion has undergone tremendous changes in terms of manpower, equipment, and combat effectiveness. It's really incredible and so strong!"

More than two months ago, the brigade commander visited the Xinzhongcun base.

That was the time point after the defense battle of Xinzhongcun ended.

After the defense battle of Xinzhong Village, there were only more than a thousand people left in the independent battalion, which was a heavy loss of casualties.

However, only two months had passed and the independent battalion had undergone such a huge change. Not only did its strength exceed 10,000, but its combat effectiveness was also very strong and it could directly destroy the Second Division.

so horrible.

The speed of development is terrifying.

Su Zheng said calmly: "This... this is just good luck."

The brigade commander said with deep emotion: "Su Zheng... To be honest, the development of your independent battalion is truly a miracle, a miracle that cannot be replicated!"

Li Yunlong next to him chimed in, "That's right... Brigade Commander, you don't know how rich the independent battalion is."

"The independent battalion not only has cavalry and artillery, but also tanks and planes. The calibers of those large guns are bigger and bigger, there are more than a hundred of them, it's really rich."

tank?

airplane?

Hearing this, the brigade commander looked at Su Zheng with shining eyes and said, "Su Zheng, your independent battalion also has planes and tanks? Hundreds of artillery pieces?"

Su Zheng nodded and said, "Well... yes, there are, but not many."

"We originally had four tanks in total. During this operation, two tanks were damaged and are being repaired."

"As for the fighter plane, there is only one, and in this air battle, our P51 Mustang fighter was hit by the Japanese. There were problems and malfunctions, and it is being repaired!"

"As for the artillery company, it suffered heavy losses... Because of the head-on artillery battle with the artillery regiment of the Japanese Second Division, the entire artillery company lost more than two-thirds of its artillery pieces. Now there are only more than 30 artillery pieces left."

"So this attack on Ping'an County has caused considerable losses to our independent battalion."

Hiss hiss hiss...

The brigade commander gasped again, his face filled with astonishment as he said, "Wow... Really great... I didn't expect that the equipment of your independent battalion has changed so much, you even have airplanes and tanks!"

"Come on... take me to see the tanks and planes of your independent battalion... Su Zheng, you can't hide it."

Upon hearing that the independent battalion had planes and tanks, the brigade commander couldn't wait to go and see them.

Su Zheng nodded and said, "Let's go."

Afterwards, Su Zheng, the brigade commander, Li Yunlong, Zhang Dabiao, Shen Quan, Wang Huaibao and others came to the temporary airport in Dongling Village.

At this time, two tanks and a P51 Mustang fighter were under maintenance.

Su Zheng looked at the maintenance workers who were busy at work, his eyes fell on He Wenjian, and he asked, "Wenjian, can this plane be repaired?"

He Wenjian: "Captain, I think there is no problem. It should be repairable."

The P51 Mustang fighter is a propeller fighter, which is mainly made of mechanical parts and does not have too many electronic equipment, so it is relatively easy to repair.

After all, the structure and manufacturing process are relatively simple.

Su Zheng nodded and said, "Okay, that's good!"

"Brigade Commander, look, this is the only fighter plane of our independent battalion, the P51 Mustang fighter, and it is being repaired because of a mechanical failure!"

"The other two tanks are improved versions of the Douding tank, and the other is a Sherman M4 tank!"

"These two tanks are also under repair... and there are two more tanks in Ping'an County."

The brigade commander nodded, walked over, and observed the Sherman M4 tanks and P51 Mustang fighters at close range. He stroked the plane fuselages and tank bodies that were riddled with holes, and said with deep feeling: "Su Zheng, the speed at which your independent battalion updates its equipment is really too fast!"

"I really didn't expect that our Eighth Route Army would have its own planes and tanks. Looking at these equipments makes me feel a little dazed!"

"In the past, we could only be chased and attacked by the enemy with tanks and planes. Now we have our own tanks and planes. Although the number is small, it is a good start!"

Li Yunlong, who was standing next to him, said in a boastful tone: "Brigade Commander, don't be fooled by the fact that the independent battalion only has one fighter plane. It is very advanced and powerful!"

"In this air battle in Ping'an County, Su Zheng shot down ten Japanese fighter planes while flying this plane, and was able to return home safely. Don't you think that's amazing?"

The brigade commander looked at Su Zheng in surprise again and said, "Su Zheng, I really didn't expect you to be able to fly a plane! You are indeed a hidden all-rounder!"

Su Zheng: "Self-taught... all self-taught!"

The air battle over Ping'an County has become a legendary battle in the history of air battles during the War of Resistance.

After all, Su Zheng was flying a P51 Mustang fighter plane to fight against 15 Japanese fighter planes, and eventually shot down 10 of them, achieving a very amazing record, which was quite awesome.

Afterwards, the brigade commander carefully observed the situation in the tank and aircraft cockpits.

Like a curious baby.

Look and look.

Touch again and again.

After all, the brigade commander had never seen the Sherman M4 tank and the P51 Mustang fighter.

After watching it, the brigade commander (Qian Liaozhao) was full of praise for it and gave a thumbs up, saying: "Su Zheng, your independent battalion's equipment is really too strong, stronger than the central army's direct troops. The equipment of many Japanese troops cannot compare to your independent battalion!"

Li Yunlong smiled and said, "That's right... The Independent Camp is really rich. Sometimes I even joke with Su Zheng that he is no longer a local rich man, but a big capitalist. Hahahaha!"

Big capitalists...they are even more tycoon-like than local tycoons!

The brigade commander smiled and said, "It's good that our troops have become prosperous, but don't become capitalists, hahahaha!!"

Su Zheng: "Captain, how can I be a capitalist? My independent battalion is self-sufficient and self-sufficient, how can I be a capitalist?"

Li Yunlong grinned and said, "I'm saying that your independent battalion is wealthy... Really wealthy and well-equipped."

Su Zheng said with deep emotion: "There is no other way. Our Eighth Route Army is backward and we can only rely on ourselves."

"My independent battalion has developed so rapidly only because of good luck. It is precisely because of these equipment and the soldiers' selfless fighting that we have achieved such a good result in the Battle of Ping'an County!"

PS: In the new month, I hope to get an automatic subscription of 50, and a rich man will give me a reward of 100. Thank you.

Chapter 471 The prestige of the Eighth Route Army! The Eighth Route Army leaders gathered in Ping'an County (the third update, please subscribe)

This time, the brigade commander witnessed the rapid development of the independent battalion.

There has really been a tremendous change.

The independent battalion I saw again this time was very different from the last time I saw it at the Xinzhongcun base.

Whether it is the number of troops, weapons and equipment or combat effectiveness, there are huge differences.

This made the brigade commander marvel.

After the brigade commander took a look at the independent battalion's most advanced Sherman M4 tanks and P51 Mustang fighters, he returned to the headquarters of the New st Regiment in Dongling Village.

Everyone took their seats.

Drinking some wine and eating some snacks.

The brigade commander looked at Su Zheng and Li Yunlong and said, "Oh... by the way, I almost forgot about the important matter!"

"My main purpose for coming to Dongling Village this time is to present the Chairman's Commendation Order to you, Li Yunlong and Su Zheng. Take a look!"

As he spoke, the brigade commander handed a commendation letter to Li Yunlong.

Li Yunlong took the commendation order, read it again and again, and said: "Hehe... There are many words on this commendation order that I don't recognize. Su Zheng, take a look!"

Since Zhao Gang became the political commissar of the New 1st Regiment, he taught Li Yunlong a lot of words.
