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

"Both our Eighth Route Army and the Independent Battalion have a mass base. By leveraging the power of the masses to hunt down intelligence agents lurking in the city, we can achieve twice the result with half the effort."

The brigade commander nodded: "Indeed, we should really make good use of the power of the masses!"

"Su Zheng, I actually want to ask you, what is your next big strategic goal?"

Su Zheng was silent for a moment, then two words popped out of his mouth: "Dragon City!"

Dragon City refers to Taiyuan.

Taiyuan was formerly known as Jinyang, also known as Bingzhou. It is located in the central part of Jin Province and the northern part of Jinzhong Basin. It is surrounded by towering mountains on the north, east and west. It is a large city surrounded by mountains on three sides.

The geographical location of the entire Taiyuan is very important. Taiyuan is backed by Zhoushan and Yunzhong Mountain in the north, Taihang Mountain in the east, Luliang in the west, and Jinzhong Plain in the south. It has been a contested place since ancient times.

But if the flying general were in Longcheng, the Hu horse would not be allowed to cross Yinshan Mountain.

The Dragon City here refers to Taiyuan.

In ancient times, Taiyuan was known as "the strategic point bordering the four frontiers and the capital city controlling the five origins."

Taiyuan has a long history, and the so-called "Dragon City" is a generous compliment given to Taiyuan in Shanxi by history. To put it bluntly, Taiyuan in Shanxi is a "dragon's rise place" that is favored by the Purple Star Emperor.

Longcheng has been a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery since ancient times, and has an indissoluble bond with emperors. Therefore, it was called the "Land of Panlong" during the Song Dynasty, and Emperor Taizong of Song even called Taiyuan "Dragon City".

Precisely because of the importance of Longcheng, Su Zheng’s next strategic target is Taiyuan.

Of course, it is not so easy to attack Taiyuan.

Because there are quite a lot of Japanese and puppet troops in the Taiyuan area, a conservative estimate is at least 80,000, if not 100,000, and this does not include reinforcements.

In addition, the terrain of Taiyuan and the surrounding towns is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If you want to attack Taiyuan, you need to conserve your strength.

When Li Yunlong and the brigade commander heard Su Zheng's words, their faces changed.

A little surprised!

But it seems to be reasonable.

The brigade commander gave Su Zheng a thumbs up and said, "Su Zheng, you are really brave enough to think and act. You actually dared to attack Longcheng as your next target. That's awesome!"

As a talented general, the brigade commander could see that Su Zheng's strategy was not simple.

Make a decision and then act.

He will surely become a great general in the future.

Li Yunlong grinned and said, “Hehehe…Su Zheng, if I had the equipment, combat effectiveness, and numbers of your independent battalion, I would definitely dare to fight Taiyuan!”

"As long as you give me two divisions, I dare to fight Taiyuan."

The brigade commander commented: "Li Yunlong, what would you not dare to do?"

"Su Zheng is different from you. Since Su Zheng dares to attack Longcheng, it means he has planned everything and is sure to win!"

"If you hit Taiyuan, then you are just stirring up trouble without considering the consequences."

Li Yunlong said with a straight face: "Brigade Commander, I, Li, also want to save face. How about you give me two divisions and see if I can take Taiyuan!"

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

Chapter 474: Grand Meeting! The General Manager, Deputy Chief of Staff and Division Commander are all here (Second update, please subscribe)

The strength of two divisions is not enough to capture Taiyuan.

Su Zheng and the brigade commander both knew this.

Li Yunlong is talking bullshit.

The combat effectiveness of the Japanese and puppet troops should not be underestimated.

Not to mention that Li Yunlong could recover Taiyuan with two divisions, even if Su Zheng had two divisions, he could not take Taiyuan.

The brigade commander looked at the bullshitting Li Yunlong and said, "Li Yunlong... stop bullshitting in front of me. Even if I give you two divisions, you can't defeat Taiyuan."

"Besides, I'm just a brigade commander. Where can I find two divisions for you?"

"If you have the ability, develop your own troops like Su Zheng did and bring me tens of thousands of people."

Li Yunlong grinned and said, "Hehehe... Brigade Commander, I really don't have Su Zheng's skills and abilities. I'm just kidding. But Su Zheng, if you attack Taiyuan, this is really possible."

"As long as the independent battalion expands and develops for a period of time, it will be possible to attack Taiyuan."

The brigade commander also looked at Su Zhengdao and said, "Yes, I think so too."

"Although your strategic goal is very grand, and you want to attack Taiyuan right away, people like Li Yunlong are just bullshitting, but if Su Zheng wants to attack Taiyuan, he may really create a miraculous victory."

Su Zheng smiled and said, "You all think too highly of me."

"I know my own strengths and weaknesses. The current independent battalion does not have the strength to fight Taiyuan. It will take some time to hone and develop."

Indeed, after the Battle of Ping'an, the independent battalion was left with only more than 3,000 frontline combat troops.

If we add the strength of the four battalions of troops stationed in the Xinzhongcun base.

The total number of troops is only 5,000.

It is impossible to attack Taiyuan with more than 5,000 soldiers.

Even if the independent battalion's combat effectiveness, equipment and logistics were strong, it would be impossible to complete the task of attacking Taiyuan.

After all, there are casualties in battle.

After dealing with the relevant affairs of Ping'an County, Su Zheng's next step was to recruit soldiers and expand the army.

The independent battalion’s military strength must be developed rapidly.

The brigade commander looked at Su Zheng with admiration and said, "Su Zheng, I believe in your ability."

After so many major battles, the brigade commander admired Su Zheng more and more.

The abilities and skills demonstrated by Su Zheng are unique.

Great military achievements!

Great achievements!

In time, he will definitely be a talented general who can stand on his own.

Afterwards, Su Zheng, Li Yunlong and the brigade commander chatted a lot more.

The strategic vision, analytical ability, foresight and planning capabilities demonstrated by Su Zheng shocked and surprised the brigade commander and Li Yunlong.

This is definitely a rare talent.

That night.

Su Zheng also had a drink with the brigade commander and Li Yunlong.

This time, by capturing Ping'an County, Su Zheng made great military achievements and achieved remarkable results. He also reaped rich rewards and became very rich.

But Su Zheng is still looking forward to the system's rewards.

However, up to now...the system's reward has not appeared, which makes Su Zheng even more excited.

According to the system's task prompts, the more enemies you kill in this Ping'an Battle, or the more Japanese devils and traitors are killed because of the Ping'an Battle initiated by Su Zheng, the richer the reward will be.

In this Ping'an Battle, the independent battalion alone wiped out more than 20,000 enemies.

Adding the number of enemies killed by other battalions of the New 1st Regiment, the total number is more than 25,000.

If we add the Japanese and puppet troops annihilated by the anti-Japanese forces in the entire northwest of Shanxi and even the Second War Zone, the total number of enemies killed would be as high as more than 40,000.

Simply put, in this Ping'an Battle, a total of more than 40,000 Japanese and puppet troops were killed.

This is the record!

With so many enemies killed in one battle, I wonder what kind of rewards the system will give out.

This is something Su Zheng is looking forward to very much.

Just when Su Zheng was drinking and chatting with the brigade commander, Li Yunlong and others, Shangguan Yufei walked in.

Shangguan Yufei looked around at the three people present, and finally set his eyes on Su Zheng, and said, "Captain, I just received the latest intelligence!"

After saying this, he seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Although Li Yunlong and the brigade commander are both Su Zheng's superiors.

However, Shangguan Yufei is always very cautious when it comes to intelligence work.

Su Zhengwang said to Shangguan Yufei: "If you have any information, just tell us... We are all one family."

Shangguan Yufei: "Captain, according to the latest intelligence from our Skynet Intelligence Bureau, Taiyuan has offered a huge bounty of one million dollars for your life, calling on desperate criminals and die-hard traitors to assassinate you."

A sky-high bounty of over one million dollars was issued today by Yoshio Shinozuka and Toshi Miyano.

At the beginning, we just hung and pasted around Taiyuan.

And it spreads gradually.

At present, there are no relevant bounty notices in non-enemy-occupied areas and towns far away from Taiyuan.

But in Taiyuan, the Skynet Intelligence Bureau has intelligence agencies and personnel lurking.

Among them is the intelligence work on Taiyuan, which Yu Manli is responsible for.

So when the Internet Intelligence Bureau learned of this situation, it immediately passed the information to Shangguan Yufei through special news channels and radio stations.

"Puch..."

Upon hearing this intelligence, Li Yunlong, who was drinking, spit out his drink, widened his eyes, and exclaimed in amazement: "One million dollars? That much?"

A reward of one million dollars is indeed very high.

The brigade commander beside him was also shocked, his face looked a little surprised, but he didn't say anything.

Not to mention the brigade commander and Li Yunlong were surprised, even Su Zheng himself was very surprised.

Su Zheng was stunned and said, "What? One million dollars? Wasn't my previous bounty only 100,000? It went up to one million after we captured Ping'an County? The price is going up really fast!"

The brigade commander smiled and said, "Su Zheng, you have completely wiped out the most elite Second Division of the Japanese. Shinozuka Yoshio must be anxious, so he offered such a high reward to kill you!"

"One million dollars... Tsk tsk... Shinozuka Yoshio has invested a huge sum of money."

Li Yunlong looked at Su Zheng and said, "Su Zheng, do you know how much the Japanese wanted me for? One hundred thousand?"

"My bounty is only 100,000, but yours is... directly 1 million. You are still more valuable."

Su Zheng smiled faintly and said, "Hahaha, I didn't expect that I was so valuable... This old devil Shinozuka Yoshio really thinks highly of me."

"I was thinking...if our independent battalion runs out of military funds one day, I can just use my head to exchange for a million dollars, hahaha!"

Although the Japanese offered a million-dollar reward for his arrest, Su Zheng was not panicked at all.

The person who can kill Su Zheng has not been born yet.

He has strong personal abilities, wears a bulletproof vest, has a system of danger warning function, and has a powerful independent battalion at his disposal... Su Zheng feels that as long as he doesn't commit suicide, it will be impossible for anyone to kill him.

Brigade Commander: "Li Yunlong, can you compare with Su Zheng? Hahaha!"

"The Japanese offered a million-dollar reward, which means that Su Zheng is a big enough threat to the Japanese, otherwise he wouldn't have offered such a high reward!"

"This bounty is too high for me, let alone you."

"As far as I know... this reward of one million dollars is the highest reward offered by our Eighth Route Army."

Many senior generals and officers of the Eighth Route Army were wanted by the Japanese.

Therefore, every wanted senior officer and general of the Eighth Route Army has his own price.

Obviously, Su Zheng's million-dollar bounty was the highest in the Eighth Route Army.

Shangguan Yufei looked at Su Zheng and said, "Captain, the Japanese are offering a reward of one million dollars to assassinate you. Such a high price will definitely attract many desperate criminals and die-hard traitors. You have to be careful!"

Su Zheng said calmly: "Don't worry, I'm fine."

The brigade commander looked at Su Zheng and said, "Yes, yes, yes... Comrade Shangguan is right. We cannot be careless about this kind of thing... You are now a great threat to the Japanese. You must be careful!"

"It is better to be safe than sorry. Don't capsize in the gutter, or you will lose more than you gain."

If Su Zheng was assassinated, it would definitely be a huge loss for the Eighth Route Army.

This is a situation that Brigade Commander Chen does not want to see.

Li Yunlong also reminded: "Yes, Su Zheng...some people who are not afraid of death (money or not) want to assassinate you, so you should be careful."

Su Zheng nodded: "Well... I understand... I care about my life more than anyone else. Since the Japanese have spent millions of dollars to assassinate me, then let them come!"
