Anti-Japanese War: When I get promoted, the system will explode with soldiers

After advancing all night, the 107th Regiment and part of the 108th Regiment finally arrived at the position of the 35th Army.

Although they broke through several blockades, on the way here, these people also thought of another thing, that is, the position of the 35th Army has probably become an isolated island. Although the 35th Army is still holding its position, many places in the rear have separated them from the main force.

If the 35th Army wanted to get reinforcements, it would probably have to have the personnel in the rear leading the convoy to rush over. Otherwise, it would be too difficult to carry the troops over on their backs.

But that's not something we need to consider. The commander-in-chief has already said that we only need to help the 35th Army consolidate its position. The rest is the business of the theater command and we don't need to consider it.

"Didn't they say that two captains would report today? Why are you the only one here?"

Commander He of the 35th Army looked at Lu Xiaoguang, the commander of the 107th Regiment in front of him and said with some confusion.

"Captain Liu of the 108th Regiment arrived at Longhua Airport half an hour later than me, but his plane encountered an accident during landing..."

During last night's night flight, a total of three planes encountered accidents, one of which was the plane where Captain Liu of the 108th Regiment was on.

So today the 108th Regiment is also under the command of the 107th Regiment.

Commander He nodded, indicating that he understood the situation. During the battle at Pujiang, many heroes died every day for various reasons, and this blood debt would be repaid to the Japanese sooner or later.

"This is Captain Qian of your 72nd Army. If there's anything, have him come and tell you. I need to take some time to rest here. The Japanese will attack again when daybreak comes. You need to quickly get your men into combat mode."

Commander He's eyes were bloodshot. After working with the people of the 72nd Army these days, he had finally understood everything. He decided to stop talking nonsense and get down to business. The people of the 72nd Army were not used to listening to nonsense.

Lu Xiaoguang nodded and conducted the battlefield handover with the former captain next to him. Captain Qian had lost more than half of his men, so this time they would probably have to be taken away for rest. It was unknown when they would return to the battlefield again, but they did not embarrass the people of the 72nd Army.

"Tomorrow morning, the battlefield will definitely expand. Besides defending the eastern flank, we also need to begin defending the southeastern flank. The Japanese are already bypassing our positions, and there aren't many friendly forces around us who can hold on. I estimate that by tomorrow night, the length of our positions will increase by more than a kilometer."

Captain Qian drew a curve on the map. Originally, their positions were all in the east direction. Now, the 39th Division of the National Army in the southeast direction had retreated 500 meters. They had to take over the vacant position.

Of course, this cannot be blamed on the 39th Division. When the 39th Division went to the battlefield, there were more than 9,700 people in the entire division. But when they retreated this morning, there were less than 6,000 people left in the entire division, and the casualties exceeded 40%.

Under such circumstances, it was already quite difficult to hold most of the positions. You must know that although the 39th Division belonged to the Central Army, it was also a newly established infantry division. It had not even seen the shadow of reorganization, and the weapons and equipment in its hands were not very good. Most of the rifles were improved on the battlefield.

"Don't worry, Lao Qian. We've heard about what happened on the battlefield. Leave this position to me without losing a single meter. If I lose it, our commander will hold me responsible. I've seen the sacrifices of my brothers and will never give up an inch of land."

When Lu Xiaoguang just came up, he saw batch after batch of brothers being sent down, and naturally he knew that this position was stained with blood. No matter how difficult it is for us, we must defend the position that our brothers have exchanged their lives for.

Behind us are the folks of Pujiang, our brothers and sisters. We must never let the Japanese take a step forward to destroy our brothers and sisters, or to humiliate our folks.

"I'm injured in the leg and have lost too much blood in the past two days. I can't stay on the battlefield any longer. I'm leaving now and leaving the position to you."

Captain Qian pointed to his thigh, which was swollen beyond recognition. Normally, he should have withdrawn yesterday, but he was the only officer left in the 72nd Army, so he had to explain things to Captain Lu.

"Everyone salutes, bids farewell to the veterans, salutes the veterans."

Lu Xiaoguang looked at the soldiers of the 72nd Army. Most of them were injured. Even those who were not injured were exhausted, and it was obvious from their faces. Now these people were also about to withdraw from the battle sequence.

More than two thousand newly arrived reinforcements stood up straight in unison, bidding farewell to our heroes with the best military posture.

As for the 35th Army, there were still about 4,000 people left on the battlefield, and the rest were ready to withdraw. The Central Army sent the 19th and 13th Divisions.

These two infantry divisions have not been fighting on the battlefield for long and can still gather 20,000 people.

Li Shaoyi had originally intended to let Commander He of the 35th Army continue commanding, as he had a better understanding of the battlefield situation. However, Chief of Staff Zhang later suggested that Commander Fan also be sent back to rest. The Central Army was full of troublemakers. If they were to accept the command of a miscellaneous army commander, the situation would likely only worsen.

Major General Zhao Songbai, commander of the 19th Division, served as the commander-in-chief of the Jinshanwei position.

At seven o'clock in the morning, the Japanese army launched another frenzied attack. It happened that our army was changing guard. The Japanese army thought this was an opportunity, so they bombarded our positions desperately, and the infantry also launched a long live charge.

But unfortunately they forgot one thing, that is, the most combat-effective people on the battlefield were from the 72nd Army. The 72nd Army sent two regiments, more than 3,500 people to the battlefield, which was a significant increase compared to yesterday's war examples.

Although the battle line was lengthened, these more than 3,000 people did not come running. The number of armored vehicles, tanks, and even armed trucks was much greater than before.

So at this moment, all kinds of mechanical equipment are everywhere in the position of the former 35th Army.

This time the Japanese charge lasted only less than fifteen minutes, and then they all ran back. The firepower on the position was really too strong. From the Japanese position, there were tracer bullets everywhere. Except for digging holes underground, there was no way to hide.
