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

But Su Zheng got up the earliest.

After all, he deliberately controlled his drinking last night.

Early in the morning, Su Zheng got up and saw Shangguan Yufei sitting in the yard in a daze, wondering what he was thinking about, so he walked over.

Su Zheng sat next to Shangguan Yufei and said, "Shangguan...what are you daydreaming about?"

Shangguan Yufei came back to his senses, wiped the tears from his eyes, and said, "It's okay... I remembered someone!"

This person is Liu Jiangong.

Liu Jiangong was originally a teacher in the History Department of Yenching University and served as the commander of the 0rd Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army. However, his organization was disbanded in the war against Japan, so he had to lead a small team to fight guerrilla warfare. Later, in order to cover Shangguan Yufei's secret mission, the entire regiment died heroically.

In addition to this relationship, Liu Jiangong was also Shangguan Yufei's mentor when he joined the Eighth Route Army.

The two are in a master-disciple relationship.

Now that Liu Jiangong had died, Shangguan Yufei naturally felt some nostalgia.

Su Zheng nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Don't expose people's scars or ask them about their personal affairs. This is basic emotional intelligence.

The two of them just sat there in a daze.

After a long while, Shangguan Yufei finally spoke: "Su Zheng... Thank you... This time I was able to obtain the Japanese's cipher machine and code book thanks to you, otherwise I don't know when I can complete the task!"

After spending time together at a celebration banquet last night, the two became much closer.

Su Zheng: "We are all family...it would be strange to say thank you."

"Besides, based on my understanding of Lei Zifeng, if she knew you were looking for the cipher machine and the code book, she would definitely give these things to you!"

"After all, it's useless for a bandit gang like him to have this cipher machine and code book, but it's very useful to our anti-Japanese forces."

Shangguan Yufei's trip to Feihu Ridge to find the Japanese's cipher machine and code book was a very confidential operation.

It's impossible to tell everyone.

So all along, Lei Zifeng didn't know that Shangguan Yufei was looking for these two things.

Shangguan Yufei nodded, and then asked: "Su Zheng...Do you think you can recruit Lei Zifeng?"

Su Zheng smiled and said, "We fought an ambush at Huyaao yesterday... This already has an obvious answer!"

The Huyaao ambush was Lei Zifeng's token of his allegiance to the Eighth Route Army.

Because if he didn't fight the Huyaao ambush, it would mean that Lei Zifeng had no intention of joining the Eighth Route Army, so he didn't want to provoke the Japanese and make too much enemies with them.

But once the Huyaao ambush was launched, it meant that Lei Zifeng had decided to join the Eighth Route Army.

Because an entire squadron of Japanese soldiers were wiped out in the Huyaao ambush, Mai had been completely provoked and would inevitably take crazy revenge on the Japanese.

Although Feihu Ridge has three major formations to protect the mountain, they can only protect it for a while, not forever.

With the Japanese's combat effectiveness, it was only a matter of time before they attacked the Feihuling stronghold.

Therefore, there is only one way left for Feihuling Mountain Stronghold, and that is to join the Eighth Route Army.

Moreover, the Huyaao ambush was also Lei Zifeng's way of showing his determination to join the Eighth Route Army and to kill a Japanese devil as a token of his loyalty.

Through the ambush at Huyaao, Su Zheng also discovered that the bandits in Feihuling stronghold were not a mob, but had good combat effectiveness and equipment.

If the bandits in Feihuling Stronghold could be recruited, it would be a great help to the independent battalion.

Shangguan Yufei nodded, not quite understanding.

At this moment, Lei Zifeng also woke up and walked towards Su Zheng and Shangguan Yufei...

PS: Second update, I beg for an automatic subscription to break the egg, a self-subscription to add an extra chapter, and a reward to add an extra chapter.

Chapter 88: Su Zheng is so rich! Even the Central Army’s direct troops can’t compare to him! (Third update, please subscribe)

Lei Zifeng walked towards Su Zheng and Shangguan Yufei and asked, "What are you talking about so early in the morning?"

Su Zheng: "Just chatting."

Shangguan Yufei: "Good morning, Master Lei!"

Lei Zifeng came over and sat next to Su Zheng, saying, "You two, are you used to sleeping in the village last night?"

Su Zheng: "What's there to be uncomfortable about? We in the Eighth Route Army have endured hardships, with the sky as our blanket and the ground as our bed. No one will have any problems in this wilderness, and we will sleep comfortably!"

Although he is a time traveler, Su Zheng is not a spoiled person.

The three of them chatted casually.

As they chatted, Su Zheng looked at Lei Zifeng and said, "Master Lei, on behalf of the Independent Camp, I once again invite you to join our Independent Camp!"

Although Su Zheng already knew Lei Zifeng's decision.

But the invitation still needs to be made.

This is basic respect.

Lei Zifeng was stunned for a moment, then said: "Captain Su, don't you already know my decision?"

Su Zheng smiled and stretched out his hand, saying: "The Independent Camp welcomes you to join!"

Lei Zifeng shook hands: "Thank you!"

Both are smart people.

Lei Zifeng made this decision after careful consideration.

On the one hand, being a bandit is not a long-term solution.

This is indeed a matter of considering the future of our brothers.

On the other hand, Su Zheng saved the entire village.

This is a life saver.

In addition to the reputation of the Eighth Route Army in the War of Resistance, Su Zheng's military deeds, and the aggressiveness of the Japanese devils, etc., all these reasons made Lei Zifeng choose to join the Eighth Route Army.

Before his death, Zhu Banshan once said that the Japanese would attack the mountain sooner or later.

Lei Zifeng is also aware of this.

Because that Japanese military plane crashed on Feihu Ridge, and the people and things on the plane were extraordinary, this had already determined that the Japanese would attack the mountain at all costs.

As a result, Feihuling Mountain Stronghold was doomed to not last long.

So Lei Zifeng found a way out for his brothers, which was to join Su Zheng's independent battalion and fight the Japanese.

Su Zheng looked at Lei Zifeng and said, "Crazy Lei, from now on we are brothers and comrades fighting side by side. Let's drink and eat meat and fight the devils happily together!"

Being able to recruit the righteous bandits in Feihuling Stronghold would definitely be of great benefit to Su Zheng.

This will give the entire independent camp an even greater advantage.

Most of the bandits in Feihuling Stronghold had followed Lei Zifeng into the Central Army.

When Lei Zifeng left the Central Army, he brought with him a group of brothers and comrades, who formed the foundation of the Feihuling stronghold.

These people have all received military training, have certain combat experience, and have good combat capabilities.

At the same time, there are other powerful generals in Feihuling Village, such as Lei Zifeng, Afu, Monkey, etc.

They are all good talents.

According to the system prompts, Ah Fu and Monkey are both two-star talents.

Soon, Lei Zifeng gathered more than 300 brothers from the mountain stronghold and told the brothers in Feihuling Stronghold that he, Lei Zifeng, chose to join Su Zheng's independent camp, allowing these bandit brothers to make their own choice.

You can choose to follow Lei Zifeng and join the independent camp.

You can also continue to stay in Feihu Ridge as a bandit.

free choice.

However, most of the bandits chose to follow Lei Zifeng and join Su Zheng's independent camp.

This result is exactly what Su Zheng hopes to see.

Afterwards, the brothers from Feihuling Mountain Stronghold began to pack up and prepare to follow Su Zheng back to the Xinzhong Village base.

Lei Zifeng came to Su Zheng and said, "Captain Su, since you let me, Lei Zifeng, choose to join the Eighth Route Army Independent Battalion, then I will not hide anything. Come with me, and I will show you the belongings of our Feihu Ridge Stronghold!"

The belongings of Feihuling Village?

There's definitely a lot of good stuff here.

Su Zheng: "Okay...let me open my eyes!"

Afterwards, Lei Zifeng brought Su Zhenglai (bdda) to the armory of Feihuling Village.

crunch...

The door of the armory opened, and then one could see a wide variety of weapons and equipment displayed inside.

Zhongzheng rifles, Type 38 rifles, Type 92 heavy machine guns, Type 99 light machine guns, melon grenades, homemade grenades, and all kinds of bullets... This arsenal has a lot of equipment, and it is conservatively estimated that it can equip a force of 500 people.

Get rich!

This is a complete fortune!

After destroying the Black Cloud Village and incorporating the Feihu Ridge Village, Su Zheng became extremely rich.

With such equipment and resources, they are even more powerful than the Central Army’s direct troops.

However, what surprised Su Zheng the most was that he saw an Italian cannon in the armory!

Su Zheng walked over, stroked the cannon barrel and said, "Crazy Lei... If I'm not mistaken, this should be an Italian cannon, right?"

The Italian gun is the French M1897 75mm gun.

This artillery was developed by France in 1897.

Since this artillery was the first in the world to be equipped with an anti-recoil device, its rate of fire was also very high, up to 15 rounds per minute, which was faster than other artillery of the same era. Therefore, during the First World War, this artillery shined, and its final production and sales volume reached more than pieces.

According to relevant records, during World War I, Italy imported this M1897 75mm artillery from France, and then sold all of them to China after the war. Eventually, Italian artillery appeared on the battlefield of the War of Resistance Against Japan.

Because the M1897 75mm gun has Italian words engraved on it, it is called the Italian gun.

Lei Zifeng nodded and said, "That's right, Battalion Commander, this is the Italian cannon... I just captured it from the puppet army!"

"I was testing this Italian gun before, but I didn't know how to operate it, so I accidentally shot down the Japanese plane."

Su Zheng looked at the Italian cannon with a smile on his face and said, "This is a heavy cannon. Not bad. Our independent battalion also has a heavy cannon. Hahaha!"

Artillery is an essential weapon in war. In World War II, it was common to see thousands or even tens of thousands of artillery pieces deployed in battles at one time.

However, in the battlefield, not only the Eighth Route Army fighting behind enemy lines, but even the Central Army and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army lacked artillery to an unimaginable degree.

In 1935, the government planned to unify and reorganize the reserve artillery units. After statistics, it was found that there were only 456 field artillery pieces in the country.

But the real situation is even more grim. On the battlefield of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the number of artillery pieces that could actually be used was only 200. Compared with the Japanese army with powerful artillery, the gap was huge.

If there is an Italian cannon, the shells are very valuable and can be used very economically, so it is impossible to carry out a bombing with firepower coverage.

It can be said that artillery was extremely scarce in the anti-Japanese forces.

Sometimes the artillery capability of a war zone was not as good as that of a Japanese division, and the artillery capability of an army-level combat unit of the anti-Japanese forces was not even as strong as that of a Japanese battalion.

Quite helpless.

So if Su Zheng now has an Italian cannon, he will definitely be rich.

Even the Central Army’s direct troops do not have such rich equipment.

Lei Zifeng then walked over to a few iron boxes, opened them, and said, "Battalion Commander, here are a few boxes of yellow croakers, all of which were seized from the Japanese planes. Take a look!"

Su Zheng walked over and immediately saw the golden big 0-0 yellow croaker gold in the box.

That's so dazzling... so exciting.

Big yellow croaker, this is the name for gold in this era.

"Big yellow croaker" means big gold bar.

In addition to the "big yellow croaker", there is also the "small yellow croaker". A small one is worth one tael of gold, and a big one is worth ten taels of gold.

In this era, one catty is sixteen taels, and half a catty is eight taels.
