Rebirth of the National Marshal

Lieutenant General Ogasawara looked at the dozen or so burning objects on the front line with some reluctance. The Chinese people called them coffin boxes, and now they really looked a bit like coffins. All these tanks had become coffins for the tank soldiers. The more than 2,000 soldiers who had charged behind them also all fell down. The sky was already turning white. They had really failed in this battle, and failed completely.

Without the support of these tank units, he might not have launched such a desperate attack. He would most likely have let his soldiers follow the original attack method. Even if he could not capture the enemy's position in an hour, he would definitely not have lost so many people. The 2th Division originally had more than people, but now there are only less than people left.

"Your Excellency the Division Commander, our headquarters personnel are already ready. All the suicide squad members are carrying grenades. I will lead them up now." Currently, the 11th Division no longer had a complete attack force, so a suicide squad of about 200 people was organized, including the staff members of the headquarters.

"Forget it, there's no need for that. Order the troops to retreat immediately, and retreat to some places with air defense equipment as planned. The Chinese air force is expected to arrive soon, and if we don't retreat quickly, we'll become their sitting ducks." Lieutenant General Ogasawara was not blinded by anger at this time. If he had organized a suicide squad that could break into the Chinese position, then the twenty or so suicide squads that died last night would not have died in vain. The Chinese army not only has powerful machine guns, but also some snipers. The snipers' marksmanship is very accurate, and they specialize in targeting such suicide squads.

"What are you still standing there for? Go and execute the order." Seeing that his combat staff officer wanted to speak, Lieutenant General Ogasawara did not give him a chance to speak. He also knew that if he did so, the 11th Division's reputation would be gone. But is it more important to have a false reputation or to leave behind the seeds of a unit?

The 11th Division was almost destroyed in this battle. If we don't leave them some seeds, it will be impossible to rebuild this society in the future. The 11th Division is an old unit with a long history, and we can't let them be destroyed in our own hands.

After receiving the order, the Japanese troops began to retreat in an orderly manner. All the team members were saying goodbye to the seriously wounded. There was a tradition in the Japanese army that once the troops began to retreat, they would give some things like grenades to the seriously wounded, and the seriously wounded would automatically stay and would never drag down others. They would use grenades to stop the pursuing enemy, die together with the enemy, and buy time for the large army.

If this is seen as cruel by the armies of other countries, this method has been implemented in Japan for many years. This is how they have been doing things since the Japanese appeared, so no one thinks there is anything wrong with this way of doing things.

This kind of sacrificial way of covering the rear was very normal for every Japanese soldier. Look at those good brothers who were usually arm in arm with each other. When they were leaving, they left their grenades to the seriously wounded soldiers. They didn't even have a trace of sadness. They picked up their Type 38 rifles and set off. The rest of the journey was left to these seriously wounded soldiers. They would die together with others. The Japanese retreat was also very orderly worldwide. They did not flee in a chaotic manner like the armies of other countries.

It was precisely because of the sacrifice of these seriously wounded soldiers that these large troops were able to retreat calmly. They did not become chaotic during the retreat and were able to maintain an organized retreat. This is also very scary. When the cohesion of a nation rises to this level, their country's combat effectiveness is also gratifying.

But it was obvious that their arrangement today was a bit of a waste, because after a night of fighting, the security regiment no longer had the strength to chase them, and the casualties of the security regiment now exceeded 1/3. Zhang Dashan felt so sad when she saw the casualty figures, it took him more than a year to slowly build up the entire security regiment from scratch to now with such strong combat effectiveness, if she really lost it like this, she would be heartbroken.

For many people, tonight was a sleepless night, but for the Chinese military and government leaders, they can sleep peacefully tomorrow night, because the Luodian area is still in our hands, and the Japanese have already bled them dry.

It is impossible for the Central China Expeditionary Force to gather more than 3 troops to attack the Luodian area. It will take at least half a month to transfer troops from the mainland. There is no need to think about the Kwantung Army. All their heavy troops are confronting the Security Corps’ troops near Chengde!

A large commendation order was delivered to the Baoan 1st Regiment, which was signed by Chairman Chiang himself.

In addition to this, there are more than a dozen medals, all of which were given to some senior officers, and there are also millions of French francs sent as guest soldiers.

Now that the war has begun, the purchasing power of legal tender is only half of what it used to be. Originally, 100 yuan could buy two cows, but now 100 yuan can only buy one cow. Our base is more practical. We use dollars for everything and don't use this kind of thing at all.

From the moment Mao Yuanshan came into this world, he was not prepared to accept something like paper money, unless it was the US dollar issued by himself. During the Second World War, except for the US dollar, all other currencies were depreciating. The original world currency was the British pound, but at the end of the Second World War, the British did not believe to what extent the pound had depreciated.

It is still the same as before. Apart from giving some illusory things, no real things were given, such as numbers, official positions and the like. Chairman Chiang is really too stingy. He is afraid that we will gain a foothold here.

However, what the Nationalist government did not give, the people really gave, and the headlines of major newspapers were all reporting on the deeds of the Security Group.

After a night of bloody fighting, they repelled the attack of more than 3 Japanese devils, which was the first in the entire history of China's War of Resistance.
