My Apprenticeship to Uncle Jiu: I Was a Warlord in the Republic of China

These Japanese pirates would be powerless to resist and would quietly walk in front of the guerrillas and be easily killed.

As more and more scattered Japanese pirates disappeared inexplicably, the other Japanese pirates became alert unconsciously.

They involuntarily imposed stricter restrictions on the activities of their own soldiers and required them not to go out alone.

But in this way, the speed of their burning, killing and looting was slowed down, and the wronged souls that were nourished by the remaining souls of the Japanese pirates' corpses rapidly improved their cultivation.

Although it was still impossible to attack large groups of Japanese pirates, it was no longer like before, where they could only deal with a few scattered pirates.

Logically speaking, this stalemate will continue for a long time, and the Chinese people will have to suffer more.

However, Lingqi Long received bad news, that is, the mainland rejected his request to mobilize troops.

The reason is that the mainland has suffered an unprecedented epidemic, and the entire Kyushu Island is now completely out of control. They have no choice but to take measures to isolate the entire island.

The Japanese mainland had to mobilize this group of newly trained soldiers to defend Honshu Island to ensure that the virus on Kyushu Island could not spread.

But how could Lingjianlong accept this explanation? If you encounter an epidemic, can't you just send medical personnel to prevent the epidemic?

If you are really afraid that the people of Kyushu will take the risk to flee Kyushu, even if you send millions of troops, it will be impossible to completely blockade it.

Didn't they leave Kyushu Island by the same ship? So this so-called infectious disease is just an excuse of the Japanese high-ranking officials. It must be that the upper-class people are fighting for power and profit, ignoring the danger of fighting on the front line.

Lingqi Long, who thought he had guessed the truth, immediately became furious, but what else could he do? He could only repeatedly request reinforcements, hoping that the higher-ups could quickly reach a consensus and send reinforcements in time.

However, how could he know that this time it was not the Japanese high-ranking officials who were up to something, but the actions of the Dragon Slayer were too meticulous.

It developed quietly in the early stage and suddenly broke out in the middle stage. The corpse poison was extremely ferocious and would be very dangerous without professional detoxification.

Basically, one person who is infected dies, and then two days later there will be another zombie.

Although those Japanese people infected by low-level zombies mostly became ordinary purple zombies after death and could not even move.

But after all, there are still many high-level zombies under the Dragon Slayer. For example, people infected by green zombies will directly turn into black zombies, and those infected by more advanced hairy zombies will directly turn into white zombies.

The same was true for those ghosts, which absorbed the remaining souls of countless Japanese who died tragically, as well as a large number of negative emotions such as fear, wailing, despair, etc.

The strength of these ghosts increased rapidly, and at this moment, high-level ghosts at the ghost general level have appeared.

So ever since the Dragon Slayer Taoist took action, most areas of Kyushu Island have been infested with zombies and evil spirits.

Although there are still some places where high walls are built with cement for defense, how much use can they have?

It was just that the evil cultivator Tulong was clearing out the Japanese in the surrounding areas and had no intention of heading to these places.

Otherwise, with the ghost's talent of ignoring physical properties, it would be easy to break through a mere concrete wall.

I've gone off topic. The situation in Japan is still fermenting, so I won't talk about it for now. Let's continue to look at the direct battlefield between China and the Japanese pirates.

During this period, the Anmin Army and the Japanese pirates were fighting on two fronts, so the casualties on both sides were very serious.

However, since the Japanese pirates had stronger industrial strength, they could replenish their weapons and ammunition more quickly. But after all, they were fighting away from home, and the number of troops was always a major flaw.

Not counting the navy, Japan has already deployed two million troops to China, but after several months of consumption, half of them have suffered casualties.

According to the battle reports obtained by Lingqi Long, since the full-scale attack on Tsinghua University, 280,000 people have died and 300,000 have been injured. The total number of casualties has exceeded a quarter.

Although they also took the initiative to recruit Chinese people as the Imperial Army, since they had reached a stalemate with the Anmin Army, not many people were willing to accept them.

Even if there were some who accepted it, they did so out of helplessness and would not do their best. Even though they killed many people with tough measures, they did not reverse the situation.

This has resulted in a considerable gap in the Japanese pirates' military strength, but no one knows what the local guys are doing and they are refusing to send reinforcements on the pretext of the epidemic.

But Lingqi Long had no way to deal with this and could only grit his teeth and hold on, because according to his estimation, the enemy's casualties were at least twice as many as his own.

I think they will not be able to hold on any longer. As long as we hold on a little longer, the enemy will collapse first. Even if they don't collapse, China, an agricultural country, has an industrial level that will definitely not be able to withstand such high-intensity consumption.

In fact, just as he thought, Jiang Li was indeed very anxious now.

He was not worried about the morale issue. After all, those who were on the front line were all loyal and righteous men who were full of passion and were rushing thousands of miles to the battlefield just to kill the enemy and serve their country.

In addition, Jiang Li deliberately controlled the scale of the war and never engaged in a large-scale melee with the enemy on flat terrain. Without a melee, there would be no defeat and no panic.

Moreover, every time the soldiers who defended their positions were either killed directly or secretly sent to the rear immediately after being injured, so basically no one knew the exact number of deaths.

Even the approximate situation of casualties is only known to the top brass, so the morale of the entire army is still extremely high.

But the logistics are not that simple. Let’s talk about money and food first. Since there are a large number of civilian forces who donate money and materials and help with transportation, the Anmin Army is not short of money and food.

However, the situation regarding weapons and ammunition was not so optimistic, although with its industrial base, it would be no problem to produce enough guns and ammunition.

But as the saying goes, a good cook cannot cook without rice. Jiang Li's territory resources and raw materials are already scarce, and now the Japanese pirates have blockaded his coast, which has led to an even greater shortage of raw materials and energy.

This greatly hindered his military production. He had no choice but to immediately send people to explore for minerals in order to replenish raw materials and fuel.

On the other hand, the production capacity of civilian factories was reduced to free up more resources for military use.

The most important thing is to reduce unnecessary consumption, delay time as much as possible, and wait for good news from prospectors and miners.

This change in the firepower of the Anmin Army was immediately discovered by the front-line combat troops and reported to Lingqi Long.

When the old Japanese heard the news, he almost doubted his ears. He didn't expect that such a good opportunity would appear when he was in a desperate situation.
