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

However, as the Eighth Route Army continued to grow and expand in battle, its numbers and strength continued to increase, which required solving the problem of the troop's organization.

Although the Eighth Route Army cannot increase the organization of brigades or divisions, it can control the arrangements of organizations below the brigade level.

To put it simply, the Eighth Route Army can set up regiment-level combat units at will.

Therefore, in the middle and late stages of the War of Resistance Against Japan, a division or a brigade consisted of more than a dozen or even dozens of regiments.

Therefore, in order to prevent the conflicts between the two sides from destroying the united front of the War of Resistance, the boss had no choice but to transform the independent battalion into a regimental-level combat unit - the Tiger Guard Regiment!

The boss is also considering the overall situation.

At the same time, this also does not unfairly treat Su Zhenghe and the soldiers of the independent battalion who have made outstanding military achievements.

The next day.

The founding meeting of the Tiger Guards was held.

This is also a meeting for the Tiger Guards to receive honors...

Ping'an County.

Conference venue.

The independent battalion has completed its reorganization and become the Tiger Guard Regiment.

All the people were promoted one level.

At this time, more than 2,000 soldiers of the Tiger Guards gathered in the conference hall. They were well-equipped, full of energy and spirit, and gave people a very good momentum and aura.

Because the P51 fighters, tanks, artillery, etc. are all under maintenance, the ones gathered this time are all infantrymen from the Tiger Guards.

Like artillery, tank troops, cavalry, etc., all are gathered in the form of infantry.

But all the new battalion commanders of the Tiger Guards were present.

Lei Zifeng, Zhou Weiguo, Zhao Donghai, Li Deming, Li Dabenshi, Yang Zhihua, Sun Desheng, Xu Yang, Chen Zhengguo, Liang Fei, Duan Peng and others stood in the front row.

The general, deputy chief of general staff, division commanders, brigade commanders, Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, Kong Jie and many others also attended the conference.

The theme of this conference is the establishment and honorary awards ceremony of the Eighth Route Army Tiger Guard Regiment.

In addition to the members of the Tiger Guards, war correspondent Wu Xiaojin also participated.

In order to prevent safety issues, I did not allow ordinary people to watch.

After all, Yoshio Shinozuka offered over a million dollars for the name of "840" Su Zheng.

Moreover, a number of Eighth Route Army bigwigs, including the general, division commander, deputy chief of general staff, etc., were present at the scene. If anything happened to any of them, it would be a big deal.

Therefore, no ordinary people are allowed to attend this award ceremony.

on the stage.

Su Zheng was wearing a neat military uniform with four brand new medals on his chest.

As the leader of the Tiger Guards, Su Zheng stood on the stage, looking at the spirited soldiers in front of him, nodded slightly and said, "Soldiers, today is the founding ceremony and commendation meeting of our Tiger Guards. Now, please invite the deputy commander-in-chief of our Eighth Route Army Headquarters to come forward and speak."

The voice fell.

The boss walked onto the stage.

The eyes of the soldiers present all fell on the boss.

Pay attention.

Looking at the energetic and vigorous soldiers below, the general nodded slightly, and then slowly said: "Dear soldiers, I am the general."

"I am very honored to be able to participate in the founding ceremony of the Tiger Guards!"

"In ancient times, only the imperial guards around the emperor or the strongest combat unit were called the Tiger Guards, because the Tiger Guards represented the strongest combat force in ancient times!"

"Now the Eighth Route Army Independent Battalion has been reorganized into the Tiger Guard Regiment, which means that you are the strongest force of our Eighth Route Army!"

"In fact, your Tiger Guards have always had a very glorious and even miraculous development history!"

"At the beginning, the current leader of the Tiger Guards, Su Zheng, led 20 soldiers to the small mountain village of Xinzhong Village, and took root and developed in this small mountain village, creating the Xinzhong Village base, and also created the Tiger Guards, a powerful and well-equipped combat unit!"

"The history of the Tiger Guards is very brilliant, with outstanding military achievements, brilliant military exploits, and incredible victories time and time again!"

"The Battle of Qili Town, the Battle of Wanjia Town, the Battle of the Taiping Town Prisoner of War Camp, the Battle of Lijiapo, the Battle of Hanlue Village, the Defense of Xinzhong Village, the Battle of Xinfengkou, the Battle of Ping'an County... the Tiger Guards fought dozens of battles, big and small, but never lost. You are all great, you are all the ace troops of our Eighth Route Army!"

"It is precisely because of your strong combat capability, excellent equipment and outstanding military achievements that you deserve to be named the Tiger Guards, because you represent the strongest combat capability of our Eighth Route Army!"

"In the Ping'an County Battle, the Independent Battalion wiped out the Kwantung Army's elite Second Division with the strength of a single battalion, creating an incredible victory! It shocked the entire northwest of Shanxi!"

"You are all representatives of our army's strongest fighting force. I hope you can continue to work hard to drive out the Japanese invaders and restore our territory to us!"

"Drive out the Japanese invaders and return our land to us!"

"Drive out the Japanese invaders and return our land to us!"

"Drive out the Japanese invaders and return our land to us!"

The soldiers present all shouted.

The boss pressed his hand, and all the soldiers quieted down.

After a pause, the general continued, "In view of the outstanding military achievements of the Tiger Guards, the headquarters has decided to award the Tiger Guards the title of the Eighth Route Army Anti-Japanese Hero Unit, and all of them will be awarded a first-class collective merit!"

"Now please invite the leader of the Tiger Guards to come forward and accept the hero title flag and certificate of honor."

Su Zheng stepped forward.

Afterwards, the boss solemnly handed a red flag of honor to Su Zheng.

The flag was red with nine words written on it: The Eighth Route Army’s Anti-Japanese Heroic Force.

Above these nine big characters there is a line of small characters, which read: Awarded to the Tiger Guard Regiment of the Eighth Route Army.

In addition, the first-class collective merit will receive a certificate of honor.

These are all honors!

For soldiers, honor is very important and is a kind of spiritual power.

Being able to receive public commendation from the headquarters and be awarded personally by the Eighth Route Army commander is a sign of honor and recognition.

Looking at the flag of honor in Su Zheng's hand, all the soldiers present were excited, and some even had tears in their eyes.

If you have never served in the army and fought in a war, you don’t know about the Eighth Route Army... and perhaps you don’t understand the importance of these honors.

For the fighters on the scene, this was their highlight moment.

The entire awarding process was very solemn and dignified.

Never before has any troop's commendation and awarding ceremony had so many Eighth Route Army headquarters bigwigs gathered together, including the deputy chief of general staff, division commanders, brigade commanders, generals, and so on.

How big is this array!

The headquarters must have recognized and admired Su Zheng's Tiger Guards to have such a grand display.

Awesome!

This is pretty awesome stuff.

Wu Xiaojin used his camera to take pictures throughout the process to record this moment.

Of course, Wu Xiaojin will also report on this important commendation meeting, but important figures like Su Zheng and the boss will definitely not appear in the newspaper.

Their appearance is kept highly confidential.

After the award ceremony, it was Su Zheng's turn to speak briefly.

Su Zheng looked at the soldiers present and said slowly: "Dear soldiers, today is the day when our Tiger Guards are officially established!"

"The headquarters and the boss value us very much. They reorganized our independent battalion into the Tiger Guard Regiment and used the title of Tiger Guard, which represents the strongest combat power. This is our honor and our responsibility. ..."

"We, the Tiger Guards, must continue to exert our advantages and combat effectiveness, constantly fight against the Japanese invaders and let these little devils see what it means to pay with blood for every inch of land!"

"The war of resistance will not end until the Japanese invaders are eliminated!"

As the voice fell, the soldiers below also shouted.

"The war of resistance will not end until the Japanese invaders are eliminated!"

"The war of resistance will not end until the Japanese invaders are eliminated!"

"The war of resistance will not end until the Japanese invaders are eliminated!"

The momentum is overwhelming!

The momentum is like a rainbow!

Soaring into the sky.

It has to be said that the momentum and aura of the Tiger Guards are indeed very powerful.

Su Zheng pressed his hand, and the scene returned to calm and quiet again. He continued, "Soldiers, the headquarters commended our Tiger Guards as an anti-Japanese hero unit and a collective first-class merit. This is an honor for our Tiger Guards, the highest honor."

"We are very excited and thrilled to have received recognition and awards from the headquarters."

"But I think... this honor belongs to us, and even more so to the soldiers and brothers who sacrificed their lives. Without their efforts and sacrifices, there would be no victory after victory, and even less honor today!"

"A very heavy but very realistic saying, that is, one general's success is the result of the sacrifice of thousands of soldiers!"

"The birth of a general or a victory means the sacrifice and dedication of many soldiers. This is the cruelty of war!"

"I, Su Zheng, still say the same thing. I cannot guarantee the safety of every soldier on the battlefield, but the only thing I can guarantee is that the sacrifice of every soldier who died was valuable!"

"Finally, let us observe three minutes of silence for the fallen soldiers and comfort their souls in heaven with this flag of honor!"

The voice fell.

The soldiers present bowed their heads and observed a moment of silence with sad expressions.

At the same time, Su Zheng was on the stage, waving the flag of the anti-Japanese heroic troops.

3.0 This is to comfort the soldiers who sacrificed their lives.

They have a share of all the honors, status and awards that the Tiger Guards now have.

They are the biggest contributors.

After the moment of silence, the Deputy Chief of General Staff, division commanders, and others also gave speeches.

The contents of the speeches were all similar, all expressing their respect and regard for the Tiger Guards, as well as high praise and recognition.

An hour later, the entire conference was over.

Su Zheng walked towards Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, Kong Jie and others.

Kong Jie looked at Su Zheng, smiled and said, "Su Zheng, congratulations, you are finally promoted to the head of the group. Hello, Head of Su!"

Su Zheng was also a regiment leader before, but he was the deputy leader of the new regiment.

Now Su Zheng is the undisputed leader, and also the leader of the Tiger Guards.

The status of the Tiger Guards Regiment is much higher than that of the New 1st Regiment. After all, it is a brigade-level combat unit.

Li Yunlong grinned and said, "Kong Erlangzi, even though Su Zheng is just a regiment leader, he is one level higher than a little regiment leader like you!"

"When you see Su Zheng, you have to salute and call him Chief! Hahaha."

Ding Wei and Kong Jie didn't know that Su Zheng's Tiger Guard Regiment was a reorganized regiment and a brigade-level combat unit.

But they also knew that since the Tiger Guards were directly under the headquarters, they were definitely not an ordinary combat regiment.

Anyone who deserves the name of "Hu Ben" must be extraordinary.

Kong Jie said indignantly: "Li Yunlong, if we were the leader of a small group, wouldn't you be the same?"

"I'm going to salute Su Zheng, don't you also have to salute Su Zheng and call him Chief?"

Li Yunlong grinned and said, "Call me Commander Su Zheng, and I, Li Yunlong, will be convinced!"

"You don't know, do you? Su Zheng's Tiger Guards are part of the reorganized regiment and are directly under the jurisdiction of the headquarters. They do not belong to any division or brigade."
