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

Through this Ping'an battle, Su Zheng could clearly see the status of himself and the independent battalion in the headquarters and the boss.

The status is extraordinary.

Otherwise, the headquarters would not have ordered the various troops to block the enemy reinforcements at all costs.

They even went so far as to dispatch the headquarters' guard regiment to block enemy reinforcements.

At the same time, Su Zheng also knew that the boss valued him very much.

The boss said with a smile: "Haha...Su Zheng, I believe in your ability, so I fully support you!"

"The opponent you are facing this time is the elite Second Division!"

"The Independent Battalion is the trump card of our Eighth Route Army, and the Second Division is the trump card of the Japanese. If the Independent Battalion wins, it will definitely deal a heavy blow to the Japanese and hit their arrogance, which will have a huge impact!"

"So... this time your independent battalion's attack on Ping'an County is not only a battle for your independent battalion, but also a battle for our entire Eighth Route Army."

Su Zheng nodded: "I understand, so we must win at all costs, even if it costs tens of thousands of casualties!"

The cost of tens of thousands of casualties?

This sentence attracted the attention of the general, the deputy chief of staff and the division commander.

The deputy chief of staff looked at Su Zheng and asked, "Su Zheng, in this battle against Ping'an County, your independent battalion suffered more than 10,000 casualties?"

"So how many people did your independent battalion have before the war?"

Up to now, the general, the deputy chief of staff, the division commander and others still don’t know how many people are there in Su Zheng’s independent battalion 840.

Su Zheng also answered truthfully: "This time, the regiment commander Li Yunlong ordered the entire New 1st Regiment to return to the base. I brought back more than 12,000 people from the independent battalion!"

Hiss hiss hiss...

More than twelve thousand people?

The strength of this battalion exceeds 10,000 people?

This is equivalent to the strength of a division.

It's so scary!

It's really terrifying that a battalion has more than 10,000 combat troops.

The independent battalion has the number of a battalion, but it actually has the strength of a division.

And the most shocking and astonishing thing is that... the independent battalion with a total strength of more than 12,000 people wiped out more than 20,000 Japanese and puppet troops, including more than 16,000 people from the elite Second Division.

The casualty ratio is truly astonishing.

It was a classic battle where the outnumbered side won against the overwhelming odds.

The boss came back to his senses from his surprise and said, "Su Zheng, I didn't expect your independent battalion to develop so quickly. In less than two months, it has grown from a force of more than a thousand to more than twelve thousand. The force has expanded tenfold. It's really amazing!"

"The most amazing thing is that the troops expanded in such a short period of time have such a strong combat effectiveness. They defeated the Second Division with fewer troops. It's really too strong."

Hearing this, the division commander was stunned. After a moment, he seemed to have thought of something. He looked at Su Zheng and asked, "Su Zheng...wait, you said that the number of troops you brought back was more than 12,000. How many troops are there in your independent battalion?"

Su Zheng also answered truthfully: "Before the Ping'an County Battle, if all the combat forces of my independent battalion and the logistics support personnel of the base were counted together, the total number was more than 20,000..."

When these words came out, the general, the division commander and the deputy chief of staff were all stunned...

Chapter 479: The elite equipment shocked everyone! More advanced than the ace troops of the Central Army! (The third update, please subscribe)

The total number of people in an independent battalion is as high as more than 20,000?

The total number of troops shocked the general, the deputy chief of general staff and the division commander.

Isn’t the development speed of the independent camp really too fast?

The most shocked person was the boss.

When the boss left the Xinzhongcun base, the independent battalion had only more than a thousand combat troops left.

However, in just less than two months, the independent battalion has grown to a combat strength of nearly 14,000 people, almost tenfold.

Ten times!

The speed at which the troops were mobilized shocked the boss.

And most importantly, the independent battalion that Su Zheng assembled was not a mob, but a regular combat unit with strong combat effectiveness.

The current battle to build a safe county is a good example.

Even the elite Second Division was wiped out.

It can be seen that the independent battalion has strong combat effectiveness.

shocked!

shocked!

shocked!

The general, the deputy chief of staff and the division commander were all shocked.

They knew that the independent camp was developing rapidly, but they never expected it to be so fast.

It's really scary.

The division commander was stunned and muttered, "Oh my God... a battalion has more than 20,000 soldiers, which is more than a division!"

The deputy chief of general staff came back to his senses, smiled slightly and said, "Hahaha, Su Zheng, although you still have the title of battalion commander, you have actually become a division commander."

The commander also came to his senses and said, "Hahaha, right, right...you live a more comfortable life than me, the commander!"

Su Zheng explained: "Division Commander, Deputy Chief of General Staff, look at what you are saying... My independent battalion's frontline combat strength before the war was less than 14,000!"

"Now that the war is over, there are probably only about 5,000 frontline combat troops left."

puff......

If this was heard by Yoshimoto Sadaichi and Okazaki Saburo.

I guess he will die with his eyes open.

He will definitely shout in hell: Look... Is this human language? God of Hell, this Su is pretending to be cool, catch him!

Su Zheng spoke lightly.

But the boss couldn't help but sigh and said: "Su Zheng, your independent battalion is already very powerful!"

"We completely wiped out the Second Division and killed more than 20,000 Japanese and puppet troops. In the end, there were only more than 5,000 people left. The casualty ratio is quite astonishing!"

Indeed; the independent battalion fought very beautifully in the battle of Ping'an County.

The damage ratio is also quite astonishing.

Although a large number of casualties were suffered in the independent battalion, this did not prevent the siege of Ping'an County from being a classic battle.

After all, this time the independent battalion was facing the elite Second Division.

Li Yunlong, who was standing next to him, saw this and said in a boastful tone, "Boss, do you know how big the independent battalion has grown to now?"

The commander asked curiously, "What scale?"

Li Yunlong grinned and said, "Now the independent battalion is really rich. Not only are most of the infantry companies equipped with M1 Garand rifles!"

"The artillery company also has hundreds of large-caliber artillery of various types, and each caliber is larger than the last!"

"Most importantly, the independent battalion now has tanks and planes!"

"Su Zheng, what kind of tank is that in the independent battalion? The Man tank... and the horse... oh... I remember now, it's the Mustang fighter!"

Su Zheng said: "It's the Sherman M4 tank and the P51 Mustang fighter!"

Hearing Li Yunlong's words, the general, the deputy chief of general staff, and the division commander's eyes lit up, expressions of surprise appeared on their faces, and their eyes all fell on Su Zheng.

If the Eighth Route Army also possessed artillery and cavalry, then tanks and airplanes were something that the Eighth Route Army could never dream of.

So far, the Eighth Route Army troops have never had their own tanks and aircraft.

However, now an independent battalion, a battalion-level combat unit, actually has tanks and aircraft?

This really shocked the general, the deputy chief of general staff and the division commander again.

The deputy chief of general staff looked at Su Zheng in astonishment and said, "Su Zheng, does your independent battalion really have tanks and planes?"

Su Zheng nodded and said, "Well, there aren't many of them."

"Before the war, our independent battalion had a total of four tanks, two of which were captured from the Japanese invaders, and the other two were two Sherman M4 tanks donated by our overseas Chinese compatriots!"

"As for the fighter planes...they are even fewer in number. There is only one fighter plane in total, and it is called the P51 Mustang fighter!"

Four tanks!

A fighter plane!

This number is indeed not large.

But this also means that the Eighth Route Army now has its own tanks and fighter planes, which is a good start.

After all, although the Eighth Route Army had seen tanks and fighter planes before, and even had close encounters with them on the battlefield and briefly seized fighter planes and tanks, they were unable to drive them away or form combat effectiveness, or could not afford to maintain the tanks and fighter planes.

For example, in the Battle of Yangmingbao.

The Eighth Route Army launched a surprise attack on the Japanese army aviation unit at Yangmingbao Airport and destroyed all of the Japanese fighter planes.

If there were Eighth Route Army soldiers who could fly a plane at that time, it would have been possible to capture the plane.

But no one knew how to fly a plane, and the end result was that all the fighter planes were blown up.

This is the problem that the Eighth Route Army encountered in reality.

Simply put, the Eighth Route Army might seize fighter planes and tanks on the battlefield, but due to logistical and other reasons, they simply could not afford to maintain or operate the fighter planes and tanks.

This is also the reason why the Eighth Route Army now has no tanks and fighter planes.

However, the independent battalion now has its own tanks and fighter planes.

This not only means that the independent battalion can obtain fighter jets and tanks, but also can better exert the combat effectiveness of tanks and fighter jets.

And most importantly, the independent battalion can afford tanks and fighter jets, and can continue to allow the fighter jets and tanks to exert their combat effectiveness.

Logistics can ensure the supply of ammunition, fuel, maintenance, training, etc. for fighter jets and tanks... It's quite awesome.

The boss was also surprised and said, "Su Zheng, everyone knows that your independent battalion has become very wealthy, but I didn't expect that you even have tanks."

"The logistics support of your independent battalion is really impressive. You can even afford tanks and fighter planes."

Indeed, without strong logistical support, it would be impossible to maintain tanks and fighter planes.

It's a very simple logic. If the tanks and fighter jets were given to Kong Jie's Independent Regiment or Ding Wei's New Third Regiment, they would not be able to afford the tanks and fighter jets.

Fuel, artillery shells, maintenance and repair, training of tank drivers, etc. ... these are problems that the Independent Regiment and the New Third Regiment cannot solve.

This reflects the importance of Su Zheng building a strong logistics support system for the independent battalion.

The division commander looked at Su Zheng and said, "Su Zheng, being able to capture tanks and fighter planes is not the most impressive thing. The most impressive thing is being able to use the tanks and fighter planes to their full potential. This shows that your independent battalion has a strong logistical support foundation!"

".々Looking at the entire Eighth Route Army, there are simply not many troops that can do this!"

Li Yunlong smiled and said, "Yes... Boss, you don't know that in this battle to capture Ping'an County, Su Zheng flew a P51 Mustang fighter into the air to fight the enemy!"

"With just this one P51 Mustang fighter, we shot down a total of 10 Japanese bombers and fighters. Isn't that amazing?"

"That's how powerful it is to fight one against ten!"

Hiss hiss hiss...

Hearing Li Yunlong showing off his battle achievements, the general, the deputy chief of general staff and the division commander all gasped and looked even more surprised.

This... one fighter plane shot down ten Japanese fighter planes?

Isn’t this record too incredible?

It sounds incredible.

The Eighth Route Army's leaders all knew that the Japanese fighter planes were very advanced, had strong combat effectiveness and fierce firepower.

Now Su Zheng has shot down ten Japanese devils with just one P51 Mustang fighter.

This not only means that the performance of the independent battalion's P51 Mustang fighter is more advanced than the Japanese fighters, but also that Su Zheng's driving and flying skills are very impressive.

Both are indispensable.
