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

"The most important thing is that Su Zheng's Tiger Guards is a brigade-level combat unit. Although Su Zheng holds the military title of regiment commander, he is actually a brigade commander and enjoys the treatment and rank of a brigade commander."

Hearing this, Ding Wei and Kong Jie couldn't help but look at Su Zheng.

Ding Wei said: "Su Zheng, your Tiger Guards are really not simple. You have become a brigade commander. When we meet, I really salute and call you chief!"

Su Zhengyi smiled and said, "Captain Ding... Look at what you said. It doesn't matter if you are a leader or not. We are all here to fight the Japanese."

"Given our relationship, it would be awkward to call you the chief."

Kong Jie nodded, grinned at Li Yunlong and said, "Old Li, look... No wonder Su Zhengneng can do 13 rocket-like moves. You have to learn from him!"

Li Yunlong said proudly: "Su Zheng is indeed my role model, but I, Li, have at least been Su Zheng's head. Don't you have to learn from me too? Hahaha!"

Ding Wei smiled and said, "Li Yunlong, stop showing off... Su Zheng has risen from a soldier to the current brigade commander in just half a year. That's all due to Su Zheng's personal ability. What does it have to do with you?"

Kong Jie: "It's just... showing off."

Li Yunlong, Ding Wei and Kong Jie are the only ones who refuse to give in to the other.

Because their strengths are almost the same, and they have similar strengths and experiences.

But now Su Zheng, who originally had a lower military rank and position than them, has become their leader. His military rank and position are higher than theirs, but they are very convinced.

It's very simple.

strength!

Su Zheng's strength, military achievements, and combat records are all far superior to theirs.

The incredible victories and brilliant military achievements made Li Yunlong, Kong Jie, Ding Wei and others convinced.

Soldiers all worship the strong!

It is precisely because Su Zheng’s strength is strong enough that even though Su Zheng died in such a short time, Li Yunlong, Kong Jie, Ding Wei and others had no objections.

If it were someone else, Li Yunlong would definitely be the first to jump up and down.

Su Zheng looked at the three and said, "Captain Ding, Captain Kong, and Captain Li, there is no distinction between superiors and subordinates among us. We are all comrades fighting together."

"If you have any problems in the future, just ask me. I will definitely help you if I can!"

Ding Wei said, "Su Zheng, I have heard your words. I do have a small request. I wonder if you can satisfy it?"

Su Zheng: "Oh? Go ahead!"

Ding Wei smiled and said, "It's not a big deal... I'm just a little jealous of your M1 Garand rifle!"

"Can you give us a few M1 Garand rifles for our New Third Regiment so that the soldiers of our New Third Regiment can have a look at them?"

Kong Jie was stunned, and said shamelessly: "Yes, yes, yes, our independent regiment also wants to see the advanced M1 Garand rifle. Commander Su... give us a few too."

Li Yunlong glared at the stewardess and Ding Wei and said, "Old Ding and Kong Erlangzi, you two are really shameless!"

"We in the New 1st Regiment don't even have an M Garand rifle yet, and you guys were the first to ask for it!"

"Hehehe...Su Zheng, give our new regiment a few M1 Garand rifles too!"

Since Li Yunlong, Kong Jie, Ding Wei and others have spoken, Su Zheng is not a stingy person, so he said: "Okay, since you all have spoken, then each regiment has ten M1 Garand rifles and a number of bullets, how about it?"

"I hope you can understand that our current arsenal's production capacity is very limited, and we simply cannot mass-produce M1 Garand rifles."

Kong Jie nodded repeatedly and said, "Enough... Enough, ten is enough!"

Ding Wei gave a thumbs up and said, "Su Zheng, you are so generous!"

Li Yunlong was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth and said, "Hahaha, Su Zheng is really capable. Ten M1 Garand rifles are enough. Thank you, Chief!"

I have to say, if Li Yunlong got the upper hand, not to mention being the leader, even people would call him dad.

Look... once he was happy, he directly called Su Zheng the leader.

Although in fact Su Zheng can be considered Li Yunlong's superior, after all, his military rank is higher than Li Yunlong.

Ding Wei and Kong Jie also saluted Su Zheng and shouted, "Thank you, Chief!"

This really looks like the real deal.

Su Zheng smiled and said, "Come on... let's just stop using this."

Although the production capacity of the M1 Garand rifle at the independent battalion's arsenal is very limited.

However, there would not be any big problem in giving each of the New 10st Regiment, the New 1rd Regiment and the Independent Regiment M Garand rifles.

After all, they are not equipped in an organized manner.

Li Yunlong, Kong Jie, Ding Wei and others originally just wanted three or five M1 Garand rifles.

After all, they just wanted to see the power and strength of the M1 Garand rifle.

However, now Su Zheng is so generous and directly gave ten M1 Garand rifles, which is of course a very happy thing.

Today is the day when the Tiger Guards were founded. It is also a good day to receive special commendations from the headquarters and the boss. For the Tiger Guards, it is very important.

This is a very milestone day.

at the same time.

Today is also the day when the news of the victory of the Ping'an County Battle was widely spread and reported.

Although the Ping'an County battle had happened several days ago, Wu Xiaojin was still seizing the time to organize the reports.

This also takes some time.

After Wu Xiaojin spent several days organizing the report, it was finally published in the Northwest Shanxi Anti-Japanese Daily.

The Battle of Ping'an County was the largest battle fought by the Tiger Guards, and the impact of the battle was very wide, with many achievements and participating troops.

The most important thing is that the elite Second Division was also destroyed.

This Ping'an County battle has developed into a major battle, because the participating troops included the Central Army, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, the Eighth Route Army, as well as local troops, anti-Japanese bandits, militia forces, and so on.

Moreover, the results of each battle in Ping'an County were naturally very great.

All the anti-Japanese forces that participated in this operation gained a lot.

The Tiger Guards alone wiped out more than 20,000 enemies, including the elite Second Division.

If the anti-Japanese forces directly or indirectly participating in the fighting in Northwest Shanxi and the Second War Zone are added, the total number of enemy troops killed reached more than 40,000, which had a huge impact.

Therefore, the battle of Ping'an County has become a major battle.

However, without the publicity in newspapers, the influence would only be in Northwest Shanxi and the Second War Zone, and at most in a few surrounding war zones. It would not have caused a nationwide sensation or had a wide influence.

Therefore, such a great victory must be widely publicized.

The Chairman was quite shocked when he learned that Su Zheng's Tiger Guards had wiped out more than 840 Japanese and puppet troops, including elite troops of the Second Division.

Because no one expected that the Eighth Route Army's combat effectiveness would be so strong.

An entire division was destroyed!

It’s an elite Type A division!

What an incredible thing.

Upon learning of such a result, the Chairman realized a problem, that is, the ace troops of the Central Army, which he was proud of, were no match for Su Zheng's Tiger Guards.

You must know that after the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Chairman’s central direct troops were the most valued by the Japanese devils.

In 1939, Gangcun Laoguizi once made a corresponding judgment in his "Opinions on the Rapid Resolution of the Sino-Japanese Incident": "The core of the anti-Japanese forces lies neither in the 4 million people, nor in the strong fighting will of the government, nor in the more than 200 million anti-Japanese enemy troops including local miscellaneous troops."

"The core and backbone of the anti-Japanese forces are the young officers centered around the Generalissimo and the Whampoa Military Academy. They are the main force of the central direct line troops, and that is the anti-Japanese will on the front battlefield."

"As long as the Central Army and its direct troops still exist, it will be extremely difficult to resolve the issue peacefully and quickly. It is like looking for fish in a tree. It is almost impossible!"

This is how the old devil Okamura evaluates the Central Army and its direct troops.

It can be seen that the combat effectiveness of the Central Army's direct troops is still very good.

However, the combat effectiveness displayed by Su Zheng's Tiger Guards directly shocked the chairman, who could not help but sigh: Su Zheng's troops are so powerful that even the ace troops in our central direct forces are no match for them...

Chapter 494 Chairman's shock: The Central Army's ace troops are not as good as the Tiger Guards (Second update, please subscribe)

After the Ping'an County Battle, the Chairman also saw the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army's Tiger Guard Regiment and knew that even the Central Army's direct troops were no match for them.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just the complete annihilation of the elite Second Division... This is a task that even an army of the Central Army’s ace troops cannot accomplish.

But Su Zheng's troops completed it.

Su Zheng's troops not only wiped out the elite Second Division, but also killed two high-ranking veteran Japanese soldiers, Sadaichi Yoshimoto and Saburo Okazaki, and set a new record, that is, the record of killing the highest-ranking Japanese soldier, the General.

In addition, the Tiger Guards also completed a fierce siege and captured Ping'an County.

This is powerful strength.

Although the Chairman did not know the specific details of the battle, the outcome was clear from the battle in Ping'an County.

The Central Army is the combat force of the Chairman's faction, and is basically a force that obeys the Chairman's orders.

As for the Central Army's direct troops, they are the Central Army's highly combat-effective and well-equipped troops, and their commanders are basically excellent commanders who graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy.

The ace troops among the Central Army’s direct troops are the elite among the elite.

Whether it is equipment, combat effectiveness, or combat experience, they are all outstanding.

However, the Chairman was also very clear in his mind that even an army of the ace troops among the Central Army's direct forces could not defeat the Second Division!

The Chairman was deeply impressed by the power of Su Zheng's Tiger Guards.

too strong!

Although this great victory was won by the Eighth Route Army.

However, after careful consideration, the Chairman did not intend to suppress or conceal the combat achievements and military exploits of the Tiger Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, but decided to publicize it widely and report it on the front page.

It's very simple.

That is, under the current anti-Japanese situation, the anti-Japanese forces urgently need a victory in a larger-scale battle to boost morale, strengthen fighting spirit and gather strength to jointly fight against the Japanese invaders.

Previously, Su Zheng had completely annihilated the 4th Division and won a great victory in the defense of Xinzhongcun, which gave the anti-Japanese troops and the people hope for victory in the war of resistance, but this was not enough.

In other words, these great victories were not enough to enhance the broad confidence of the anti-Japanese troops and the people.

Therefore, a larger-scale victory is required.

Now this Battle of Ping An is a good publicity point and a great victory.

At this time, the anti-Japanese forces had entered a stalemate phase.

When the Anti-Japanese War entered the stalemate stage, the anti-Japanese troops and the general public lost confidence in the outcome of the war, which led to negative emotions.

In addition, under the instigation of the traitor Wang's indirect strategy of saving the country, many generals, officers and officials of the anti-Japanese forces betrayed their country and surrendered to the enemy under various names, leading their officers and soldiers to become traitors.

According to relevant statistics in later generations, not counting the puppet troops in the Northeast, the number of central army or local troops who were bewitched by Japanese traitors, or who betrayed their country for various reasons and became traitors and puppet troops was as high as nearly 120 million.

The number is terrifying!

120 million people betrayed their country and surrendered to the enemy, becoming traitors, running dogs and puppet soldiers, aiding and abetting the tyrant... It's disheartening and helpless just to think about it.

There are many reasons for this result.

For example, the current anti-Japanese situation is in a stalemate, and many anti-Japanese forces have lost confidence. In addition, there is the instigation of the traitor Wang Jingwei's remarks on saving the country in a roundabout way, personal reasons, factional disputes between camps, etc. These are the reasons for the emergence of a large number of puppet troops.

Therefore, considering the overall situation, in order to stabilize the anti-Japanese situation and curb the situation of a large number of soldiers and generals surrendering, the Chairman decided to publicize the victory of Su Zheng's Tiger Guards in the Ping'an Battle.

Su Zheng's troops had already achieved several major victories before, which had a very good impact.

Now the chairman’s meaning is very clear, which is to continue to increase publicity efforts.

Let the people of the whole country see this great victory, strengthen their confidence in the anti-Japanese war, and let both the people and the anti-Japanese troops see the hope of victory in the war of resistance.

Confidence is important!

On the other hand, this is also the chairman's way of showing goodwill to Su Zheng.

The chairman had previously arranged for a special envoy to win over Su Zheng, but unfortunately he was unsuccessful.

But now that the Chairman has seen Su Zheng's ability and the combat effectiveness of the Tiger Guards, he will not give up easily.

Therefore, it is a good time to widely publicize the combat effectiveness of Su Zheng's Tiger Guards this time, in preparation for winning them over in the future.

Of course, the Chairman was not so kind as to publicize this great victory.

In promoting the great victory of the Ping'an Campaign, a lot of words will certainly be used to emphasize the role of the Central Army in this battle.
