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

In short, even if the main force of the Tiger Guards withdraws from Ping'an County, Ping'an County is still safe.

Su Zheng also believed in Zhou Weiguo's ability to ensure the safety of Ping'an County.

There is no doubt that Zhou Weiguo was a great and powerful general.

Soon, after several days of hard work, the implementation of land reform in Ping'an County was on the right track, and the city's defense and security work was guaranteed. Then Su Zheng and others prepared to return to the Xinzhong Village base.

Ping'an County, West Gate.

The soldiers of the artillery battalion, tank infantry battalion, Dragon Soul Special Forces, Ghost Team, reconnaissance company, special forces company, battalion headquarters' direct troops... and other troops have all assembled.

The tanks and aircraft of the Tiger Guards have been repaired.

The materials seized from Ping'an County have also been loaded onto trucks and are ready to be transported back to the base.

Things like antique paintings and calligraphy, porcelain, etc. are all priceless treasures, and Su Zheng must keep them well.

In addition, except for a small amount of supplies in the granary and arsenal left for Zhou Weiguo's Third Battalion, all the rest had to be transported away.

These are also the materials raised by the Tiger Guard Regiment for the overall development plan.

After all, when the various battalions and units need supplies, the regiment headquarters will make unified arrangements.

It would not be reasonable if all the materials seized in Ping'an County were given to Zhou Weiguo's Third Battalion.

Moreover, Zhou Weiguo’s Third Battalion does not need so many supplies at the moment.

It can be said that this is a mighty marching army.

And all of them are equipped with American weapons, so it looks like an American-equipped division!

Su Zheng, Li Dabenshi, Yang Zhihua, Xu Yang, Chen Zheng 873, Liang Fei, Duan Peng, Xu Yihang, Xiao Ya, He Wenjian and Shangguan Yufei and other core members of the Tiger Guards were ready to return to the Xinzhongcun base.

This is a return home with honor and glory.

After all, in this Ping'an Battle, the Tiger Guards made great military achievements and achieved an incredible victory.

Zhou Weiguo, the battalion commander of the Third Battalion of the Tiger Guards, came in person to see them off.

Zhou Weiguo looked at Su Zheng and said loudly: "Captain, thank you for your trust in me, Zhou Weiguo, for entrusting such an important county like Ping'an County to me. I will definitely not let you down."

"If the commander doesn't believe me, I can sign a military order. As long as I, Zhou Weiguo, am still alive, I will definitely ensure the safety of Ping'an County. If I can't defend Ping'an County, I am willing to accept military punishment!"

"There is no need for military court to deal with me... I will definitely live and die with Ping'an County."

Su Zheng nodded and said: "Weiguo, there is no need to issue a military order... I believe in your ability, and I hope you can give me a surprise!"

It can be said that Zhou Weiguo had been working under Su Zheng before, which had somewhat suppressed Zhou Weiguo's abilities.

After all, Su was in charge of many combat operations.

Now Su Zheng lets Zhou Weiguo's Third Battalion develop independently, so Zhou Weiguo will have great subjective initiative and be able to develop a force that will surprise Su Zheng.

Su was very much looking forward to this.

Zhou Weiguo: "Thank you for your trust, Captain. I promise I won't let you down."

Su Zheng nodded, looked at the time, and said, "It's getting late, we should set off!"

Zhou Weiguo saluted Su Zheng with his legs together and head held high, saying, "Captain, we'll see you later. If you need the troops to gather, my Third Battalion will be the first to return!"

Chapter 514: Su Zheng became the commander of the group army with the title of regimental commander? (Second update, please subscribe)

Now the Tiger Guards are divided into small units and developing independently. Once Su Zheng issues the assembly order, all battalions and units will surely assemble at the first opportunity.

Because each battalion and unit has a radio, they can keep in touch with the regiment headquarters.

Therefore, no matter where the battalions or units are, as long as the regiment headquarters sends out a gathering radio message, they can return to the gathering place as soon as possible.

Su Zheng looked at Zhou Weiguo in front of him, nodded slightly and said: "Weiguo, I believe in your ability."

"Okay, Ping'an County is now in your hands. Develop it well!"

Zhou Weiguo responded loudly: "Yes!"

Afterwards, Su Zheng also returned Zhou Weiguo a military salute.

Next, after Zhou Weiguo said goodbye to everyone, Su Zheng led the troops to leave Ping'an County and return to the Xinzhong Village base.

After watching Su Zheng's large army leave, Zhou Weiguo returned to Ping'an County and began to develop the army and build a base.

According to Su Zheng and Zhou Weiguo's plan, Ping'an County should be built into a stable base.

This takes time.

Su Zheng led the American-equipped division troops and returned to the Xinzhongcun base in a mighty manner.

Along the way, in addition to tanks, cannons, and various supplies, weapons and equipment, there were also wounded soldiers, ashes of the sacrificed soldiers, etc.

The fallen soldiers will be taken back to the Heroes Forest for burial.

So the scale of the entire army is very large.

The Dragon Soul Special Forces and the Special Agents Company are responsible for scouting the enemy situation one after the other.

Anyone who provokes such a powerful Tiger Guards would be seeking death.

Dongfang Wenyin and Su Zheng were riding horses and walking among the troops.

The two of them walked and talked.

Having served as the political commissar of the Tiger Guards for some time, Dongfang Wenyin has a deeper understanding of the Tiger Guards.

Dongfang Wenyin never expected that the Tiger Guards actually had tanks, planes and various large-caliber artillery. It was truly an eye-opener.

You know, Dongfang Wenyin had served as an instructor or political commissar for many Eighth Route Army units and had witnessed many preparations of the Eighth Route Army, but he had never seen an Eighth Route Army unit like the Tiger Guards.

I have always heard that the Tiger Guards are very wealthy...but Dongfang Wenyin never expected that the Tiger Guards would be so wealthy.

tank!

airplane!

cannon!

......

All of these heavy weapons are beyond the reach of other Eighth Route Army troops.

In addition, the equipment of the Tiger Guards is also very sophisticated, all of which are automatic rifles or light machine guns, heavy machine guns, etc., and the ammunition is also very sufficient.

What an eye-opener!

Dongfang Wenyin finally saw what it meant to be a wealthy man in the Tiger Guards... and what it meant to be truly wealthy.

This was something that shocked Dongfang Wenyin quite a bit.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Dongfang Wenyin would never have thought that the Eighth Route Army would have such a well-equipped force.

So shocking.

Dongfang Wenyin looked at the mighty marching troops and sighed sincerely: "Captain Su, I really didn't expect our Tiger Guards to be so wealthy and so well-equipped."

Su Zheng smiled and said, "This is just the tip of the iceberg of our Tiger Guards' development."

"This time when you return to the Xinzhong Village base, you will see the headquarters of our Tiger Guards. That is the root of our Tiger Guards."

Dongfang Wenyin said expectantly, "Okay, I can't wait to see the Xinzhongcun base now."

Su Zheng: "Well... I need to develop the army quickly now, so I will let each battalion and each unit break up and develop independently, and quickly expand the army."

Dongfang Wenyin: "Then how many people do you plan to expand the Tiger Guards to?"

Su Zheng raised a finger.

Seeing this, Dongfang Wenyin was stunned and asked, "Ten thousand people?"

Ten thousand people?

The layout is small.

Although the current combat strength of the Tiger Guards is only more than 5,000 people, if non-frontline combat troops such as logistics personnel are included, the total number is already 10,000.

Su Zheng smiled and said, "No, it's 100,000 people!"

"This time, our Tiger Guards are splitting up into smaller units and developing independently. Our goal is to develop a frontline combat force of 100,000 people. If we include the logistics personnel, it will probably be 120,000 to 130,000 people!"

"Before this Ping An battle, my army already had more than 10,000 people!"

Hiss hiss hiss...

Hearing this, Dongfang Wenyin couldn't help but gasp, and looked at Su Zhengdao in surprise, "One hundred thousand people? This... We are only a regimental combat unit, and the total number of troops exceeds one hundred thousand. Isn't this outrageous? It's incredible."

A regiment of 100,000 people...it's terrifying to think about it.

You know, during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the strength of an army group did not necessarily reach 100,000 people.

The War of Resistance was extremely fierce. Due to various reasons, some army groups had only more than 10,000 people, or even less than a division.

比如中央军第15集团军，下辖了第18军、第74军和第39军共3个军，全部都是主力王牌部队，但是这样的总兵力人数也仅仅是接近6万人。

For example, the 17th Army of the Ma family in the northwest has a total of 100th Division, 168th Division and 5th Cavalry Division, but the army has only more than troops.

However, this is not the army with the smallest number of troops.

For example, the 27th Group Army in the Guangdong and Guangxi regions consists of the 20th Army, the 26th Army and the 31st Army. Although it appears to be organized into three armies, its actual strength is only more than 3 troops.

Therefore, if the Tiger Guards Regiment grows to more than 100,000 people, it will be a regiment, but it will have an army group under its command.

Super Army.

After all, the Central Army’s ace troops only have more than 60,000 troops.

Su Zheng looked at Dongfang Wenyin who was in shock, and said with a smile on his face: "How is it? It looks incredible, right? But it's not impossible!"

"My plan is to expand the Tiger Guards to more than 100,000 people within half a year or at most a year."

Dongfang Wenyin nodded in astonishment and said, "It is indeed incredible... After all, the development of this army is too fast! Half a year? At the latest a year? This... sounds like a fantasy."

Su Zheng: "Our Eighth Route Army is a force that creates miracles. You can witness it someday!"

The Eighth Route Army developed very rapidly.

You know, at the beginning, various armaments were reorganized into the 115th Army Group, which had three divisions under its command: the 120th Division, the 129th Division and the 3th Division.

每个师下辖了2个旅，129师下辖385旅和386旅，115师下辖343旅和344旅，120师下辖358旅和359旅，再加上隶属于总部的特殊部队、直属部队等等......每个师的兵力为1万多人，三个师总共才4万余人而已。

However, after a long period of war, various regions gradually established anti-Japanese bases, incorporated and reorganized many puppet army combat units, and gradually replaced weapons and equipment... In the later period of the War of Resistance, the number of troops of the Eighth Route Army had reached a terrifying 120 million.

This is the development speed of the Eighth Route Army!

The Eighth Route Army's development of its troops was extremely terrifying.

Not to mention the Tiger Guards, the elite ace unit of the Eighth Route Army.

Dongfang Wenyin found it unbelievable now, but the development of the Tiger Guards really shocked her.

Dongfang Wenyin: "I heard that the Tiger Guards grew from 20 people to more than people in half a year. Now the Tiger Guards only have more than people. Can they grow to more than people in half a year to a year?"

"Captain Su, I don't doubt the strength of the Tiger Guards, it's just that their development speed is too unimaginable."

Su Zheng explained: "There is a saying that goes, from 0 to 1, this speed of development is the most difficult."

“But from 1 to 100, this development is much easier!”

"When I first arrived at the Xinzhong Village base with 20 soldiers, we were completely poor and had to build everything ourselves. The development was naturally very difficult and took a relatively long time, so it took half a year."

“This is the stage from 0 to 1! It’s the start-up phase.”

"But now our Tiger Guards have a strong enough logistics support system. Coupled with the reputation, policies and other factors of our Tiger Guards, our troops will develop rapidly in the future!"

“This is the stage from 1 to 100, a period of rapid development!”

"Therefore, I am very confident that within half a year to a year, we can develop the Tiger Guards into a combat force of more than 100,000 people!"

"I will not only expand the Tiger Guards to 100,000 men, but also make them an elite combat unit with excellent equipment and strong combat capabilities, a truly unique ace unit of the Eighth Route Army!"

If the Tiger Guards Regiment grew to more than 100,000 people, then Su Zheng would hold the military rank of a regiment commander, which means he would actually be an army commander... No, he should be a group army commander.

A group army is composed of several armies.

The army commander only manages one army, but the commander-in-chief manages an army group.
