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

Otherwise, we wouldn’t have achieved such impressive results.

The division commander looked at Su Zheng in astonishment and said, "Su Zheng, I really didn't expect you to be such a versatile person. You can even fly a plane, and you shot down ten fighter planes. You are really not simple!"

The deputy chief of the general staff also recovered from his surprise and said, "Su Zheng, it seems that your flying skills are very superb, and the performance of the P51 Mustang fighter is not inferior to that of the Japanese fighters!"

Su Zheng said calmly: "It's not bad... Being able to shoot down so many fighter planes also involves some luck."

Boss: "Luck? Luck is also part of strength!"

"Su Zheng, this Ping'an County battle allowed me to once again witness the powerful combat capability and elite equipment of the independent battalion. It really gave me a big surprise!"

"Your independent battalion alone has hundreds of tanks, planes, and various large-caliber cannons. This elite equipment is beyond the reach of even the ace troops of the Central Army!"

"Many troops in our Eighth Route Army are still using the Hanyang-made rifles or old sleeves from the last century, while your independent battalion has airplanes and tanks. Your development speed is really amazing!"

“It’s incredible that such a huge change has taken place in just two months.”

"By the way, where are the planes and tanks of your independent battalion? Can I, the boss, open your eyes?"

Chapter 480: The hard power of the Eighth Route Army's ace troops! Superior status! (Fourth update, please subscribe)

During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the most elite and ace troops of the Central Army should be the First Army and the Fifth Army.

Compared with the Fifth Army, the ace unit among the Central Army’s direct troops should be the First Army.

Because the First Army belongs to the orthodox line of Whampoa, and its predecessor was the first teaching regiment of the Whampoa Military Academy, it is the most orthodox of the orthodox line. Many important figures have served as commanders of the First Army, including the current chairman.

The First Army of the Central Army was named the "Attack Ace Army". It had the best equipment and the most sufficient food and wages, and its combat effectiveness was also very strong. It participated in the Battle of Shanghai, the Battle of Wuhan, etc.

However, even the First Army, which is the direct force of the Central Army, cannot compare with the current independent battalion in terms of equipment or combat effectiveness.

An obvious example is that with the strength of the Central Army's First Army, it is definitely impossible to completely wipe out the Second Division.

However, the independent battalion was able to completely wipe out the Second Division as a whole. This is its strength.

On the other hand, the independent battalion has a large number of artillery, tanks and aircraft...which are beyond the reach of the Central Army's First Army.

Compared with the independent battalion, the only advantage of the Central Army’s First Army may be the number of troops.

Of course...it is hard to say who is stronger between the Independent Battalion and the First Army of the Central Army. After all, the two forces have never had a head-on confrontation.

If you have never fought...then you don’t know who is stronger and who is weaker.

But judging from the current results, the independent battalion is still stronger.

That’s why the boss said that the equipment and combat effectiveness of the independent battalion are incomparable even to the ace troops of the Central Army.

too strong!

The strength is too terrifying.

It sounds like a fairy tale.

I never thought that the independent battalion would wipe out an entire division!

The boss knew that the independent battalion could defeat the elite Second Division, and the equipment was very important.

Without powerful weapons and equipment, the soldiers of the independent battalion would not be able to defeat the elite Second Division even if they were outnumbered ten to one.

So now the boss just wants to see the tanks and planes of the independent battalion.

Su Zheng naturally had nothing to hide from the boss, and nodded and said, "Of course, but at present there are only tanks in Ping'an County. The fighter planes are not in Ping'an County, but at the temporary airport in Dongling Village."

Currently there is only one Douding tank and one Sherman M4 tank in Ping'an County.

The boss said: "Okay, then let's go see what your independent battalion's tanks look like!"

The teacher was also very curious and said, "Let's go, I want to see it too!"

Deputy Chief of General Staff: "The tank company of the independent battalion is the first tank company of our Eighth Route Army. I want to go there to broaden my horizons!"

Su Zheng: "Then, leaders... please come in!"

Afterwards, Su Zheng, the general, the division commander, the brigade commander, the deputy chief of staff, Ding Wei, Kong Jie, Li Yunlong and others went to the independent camp located in Ping'an County.

Because the Japanese have offered a reward of over one million dollars for the arrest of Su Zheng, and there are also big shots such as the general manager, deputy chief of staff, and division commander, so the entire security force and guard troops are quite large in number.

These are all big shots.

Absolutely nothing can happen.

Except for Li Yunlong and the brigade commander who had seen Su Zheng's tanks and planes, everyone else had never seen the Sherman tanks and P51 Mustang fighters, so naturally they all wanted to see them.

Soon, everyone arrived at the camp of the independent battalion and the camp of the tank company.

At this time, many people in the entire tank company were busy.

现场除了独立营的豆丁坦克和谢尔曼M4坦克外，还有小鬼子的89式中型坦克甲型、92式超轻型坦克、95式轻型坦克和97式中型坦克。

The Japanese tanks were all destroyed by the independent battalion during the battle or suffered mechanical failures.

But it’s also a trophy.

I saw some logistics personnel dismantling the Japanese tanks and arranging the parts into different categories.

Keep what you can use.

If it is unusable, then prepare to take it back to the Xinzhongcun base and hand it over to the arsenal.

Let the arsenal use these as raw materials to produce weapons.

After all, tanks are mainly made of steel and can be reused.

The boss saw that the soldiers and logistics personnel were busy dismantling the tanks. He looked a little confused and asked, "Su Zheng, are you dismantling the tanks? What's the point of dismantling them?"

Su Zheng nodded and said, "Well... these are the Japanese tanks that were destroyed by us on the battlefield!"

"But many tank parts, such as engines and other key large parts, are still useful, so they need to be dismantled for backup."

"The remaining unusable steel will be used as raw material for the arsenal!"

"There's nothing we can do. Our arsenal is so short of raw materials!"

目前独立营的兵工厂规模不算很大，像M1加兰德步枪、M134加特林重机枪、M2A1式105口径榴弹炮等等生产线基本上都是只有一条。

But what limits the Arsenal's production capacity is not the small number of production lines, but the raw materials.

There is no way, the arsenal is now short of iron raw materials.

The steel from these damaged tanks can be completely recycled and used to manufacture weapons and equipment.

The boss nodded and said, "Oh...so that's how it is!"

When the tank company commander Xu Yang learned that Su Zheng had arrived, he immediately greeted Su Zheng with a happy expression and saluted, "Report to the regiment commander!"

Su Zheng looked at Xu Yang with a smile on his face and couldn't help but ask, "Xu Yang, your smile is about to bloom. Did something good happen to you?"

Xu Yang grinned and said, "Captain, we inspected the Japanese tanks and found two of them, a Type 95 light tank and a Type 97 medium tank."

"Although these two tanks are destroyed, we can dismantle the key parts of other tanks and install them on these two tanks, which means they should be able to continue to be used after being repaired!"

"Our logistics personnel are busy repairing it. If it can be repaired, it means our independent battalion can have two more tanks!"

The Japanese destroyed and scrapped tanks were towed back and reassembled and repaired.

If it can be repaired, the tank armored strength of the independent battalion can be enhanced.

Hearing this, Su Zheng's face lit up and he said, "That's great. What our independent battalion lacks is tanks!"

"By the way, Xu Yang, let me introduce you!"

"This is the boss!"

"This is the deputy commander-in-chief of our Eighth Route Army!"

"This is the commander of the 129th Division!"

"This is the commander of our 386th Brigade!"

"And these two are the independent regiment leader Kong Jie and the new third regiment leader Ding Weiding!"

"Everyone...this is our tank company commander Xu Yang!"

Su Zheng introduced everyone one by one.

After all, when the boss came to the Xinzhongcun base for exchanges, Xu Yang had not yet joined the independent battalion, so he naturally did not know these leaders.

Xu Yang straightened his chest, stood proudly and saluted everyone, saying, "Xu Yang, the commander of the tank company of the independent battalion, greets all the leaders."

The boss nodded slightly and said, "Well... not bad, you look in good spirits."

Su Zheng said, "The commander is here to see the tanks of our independent battalion. Please introduce them to him!"

Xu Yang: “Yes!”

Afterwards, everyone was led to the parking area of ​​the tank company's two tanks, the Bean tank and the Sherman M4 tank.

These two tanks also suffered some battle damage, mainly bullet holes on the armor, but nothing serious.

Xu Yang: "Commendations, this is the first batch of tanks from our independent battalion!"

"This is the Douding tank, also known as the Type 4 ultra-light tank, and this one is our Sherman M medium tank..."

Afterwards, Xu Yang began to introduce some of the performance of the two tanks to the boss, deputy chief of general staff, division commander and others.

The general, the deputy chief of staff, the division commander and everyone else were listening attentively.

When comparing the Douding tank and the Sherman M4 medium tank, it is immediately clear that the Sherman M4 medium tank is much more sturdy and imposing.

After the introduction, the general touched the armor of the Sherman M4 medium tank and said with emotion: "I really didn't expect that our Eighth Route Army has such an advanced tank!"

Division Commander: "Yes... If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, you wouldn't have believed that this was a tank of our Eighth Route Army."

"Su Zheng, your independent battalion is really rich. You can even get such a huge tank, and it has formed a combat capability."

The deputy chief of general staff nodded and said, "This is very impressive, Su Zheng...your independent battalion is indeed the ace unit of our independent battalion!"

Commander of the 386th Brigade: "This is the hard power of the independent battalion. The Central Army's direct troops... I guess they can't compare to the wealth of the independent battalion, hahahaha!"

"This Sherman M4 medium tank is bigger and more powerful than the Japanese tanks!"

Ding Wei and Kong Jie looked at the two tanks in front of them and were amazed.

It was also the first time for them to see a tank up close.

This is still a tank belonging to the Eighth Route Army.

It is also the hard power of the Independent Battalion, the ace unit of the Eighth Route Army!

Rise up!

The Eighth Route Army is about to rise!

Su Zheng's independent battalion will lead the Eighth Route Army to rise, and its status is transcendent...

Chapter 481 A comprehensive review of American equipment! The boss sighed: Really rich! (First update, please subscribe)

The general, the deputy chief of staff and the division commander were deeply moved when they saw the tanks of the independent battalion.

Although the quantity is not much.

But this also meant that the Eighth Route Army finally had its own tanks.

It's not easy!

After all, the Eighth Route Army's equipment has always been very poor.

In the past, they were only chased and attacked by tanks and planes, but now they finally have their own tanks and fighter planes, and have formed combat effectiveness. This is a very good start.

The boss looked at Su Zheng and said, "Su Zheng, you really didn't disappoint me."

"After more than two months of not seeing you, your independent camp has undergone tremendous changes. I am really surprised and delighted. Very good!"

Su Zheng: "Thank you for your trust, Boss."

Afterwards, the general, the deputy chief of staff, the division commander, Ding Wei, Kong Jie and others all entered the cockpit of the Sherman M4 tank to experience the Sherman M4 tank.

It was the first time for them to come into such close contact with such an advanced tank, so they were naturally very curious.

Soon, everyone experienced the Sherman M4 tank one by one.
