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

Listening to the sounds coming from outside the city, Major General Nomura felt annoyed. He had already climbed the city wall several times and wanted to get in touch with the army outside the city, but the group of people outside the city took the money and killed people, and not a word came in.

"Everyone, be alert tonight. All of you must be on duty on the city walls. Everyone must be in combat readiness. If anyone slacks off, you know the consequences."

Major General Nomura called all the junior officers under his command, and dozens of people filled his headquarters. Some of them saw General Nomura for the first time.

This guy has time to make money, but he doesn't have the time to meet the grassroots officers under his command.

The headquarters had sent several telegrams, asking him to hold on for two days. If they lost Chengde, it would mean losing their most important stronghold in Rehe.

The city wall of Chengde was built during the Qing Dynasty. After the Japanese occupied it, they made some reconstructions around it and set up many fortresses. If it were lost, the 12th Division would only be able to fight a field battle with the 72nd Brigade, and our advantage would be much less.

Relying on Chengde, we can defend most of Rehe. If it is lost, the location of the battlefield will be decided by the more mobile 72nd Brigade.

Chengde is in our hands, which means Rehe is in our hands. Once Chengde is lost, there is basically no hope of defending Rehe.

Several trenches were dug temporarily under the city wall. In addition to the Japanese, there were also many surrendered Japanese devils. Although they were unwilling to go to the battlefield, their entire families were in the city. The Japanese had threatened them several times that if they did not fight hard, their family members would be killed first.

At this moment, Li Shaoyi also understood the situation in the city. There were still more than a thousand Japanese soldiers. Including some Japanese working and doing business in the city, there were about sixteen hundred combat-capable Japanese young men. Now they had all been summoned by Major General Nomura.

In addition, there was a regiment of the Japanese invaders, about 1,700 people, more than 1,200 police and other armed personnel, a total of about 3,000 people, and there were more than 4,600 armed forces in the city.

Of course, the Japanese devils among them are unreliable. The only Japanese who are truly capable of fighting are more than 1,600 people. If these Japanese devils really fight, they will definitely fire randomly into the sky. When the brothers of the 72nd Brigade rush over, they will be the first wave to surrender.

There were more than thirty Japanese devils standing in front of Li Shaoyi. After a day of lobbying, these people had agreed. After dark, they entered the trenches outside the city. There were many brothers they knew well in the trenches. It could be said that they persuaded these people to come and surrender.

"Don't worry, Commander Li. We surrendered to the devils as a last resort. We can bring a group of brothers over tonight."

The enemy's leader Gao Yuansheng said this while bending over, looking like a slave.

Li Shaoyi naturally also inquired about the character of these people. They were involved in forced buying and selling, plundering, and bullying men and women. It can be said that these people were all involved, but they were still needed now.

"Then I'm counting on you tonight. As long as you can help me capture the position outside the city, we'll forgive the past. But you still want to be the leader. It's impossible. I can only guarantee that you will have enough food and drink for the rest of your lives."

Li Shaoyi deliberately said it this way to make it more credible.

If the promises made to them are too high, I'm afraid these people themselves won't believe them.

"No problem, no problem. We just want to live in peace. Commander Li, please take care of it. The brothers will go over now."

Gao Yuansheng was very excited. Now he didn't ask for anything else. Thinking about the dead President Zhao, it was already good enough for us to still have a chance to live.

It is said that President Zhao was hung for a whole day, exposed to the wind and sun. Although he is still alive, he will not live much longer.

Li Shaoyi smiled and nodded, and these dozens of people quickly disappeared into the darkness.

But behind them, there was another group of people following. They were the commandos assembled from the first and second regiments.

Li Shaoyi had no doubt that these people could take the outer trench, but speed was of the essence in war. When they took the outer trench, the commandos had to control the outer trench at the same time. Then, after receiving the signal from the commandos, our brothers had to go over first and get these traitors out.

The commando's mission is to eliminate the Japanese among the traitors. As long as we eliminate these Japanese, we will have control of the outer defense line.

There were some insect sounds coming from the distance, and Li Shaoyi knew that this was the way these traitors were communicating with each other.

The infantry regiment under the city was also unwilling to work for the Japanese. They also wanted to get in touch with Li Shaoyi, but the Japanese were watching them too closely.

"Brothers, get ready. Once you have the outer defenses under control, make an assessment immediately. If you can break into the city, do it tonight to avoid any further complications."

Although Li Shaoyi did not know the situation of the 12th Division, he also knew the importance of Chengde. Once Chengde was in our hands, we could directly announce the liberation of Rehe.

It was an encouragement to our morale, but a huge blow to the morale of the Japanese.

The people of the 12th Division have not yet participated in the battle. The successive armies destroyed by Li Shaoyi will cast a shadow in their hearts. At that time, Li Shaoyi will also launch mobile warfare, and slowly consume the 12th Division while dodging in various directions.

Li Shaoyi's ultimate goal was to keep the 12th Division in Rehe. Being able to destroy a reorganized Japanese division would mean having a foothold here.

If the Japanese want to attack us again, it will take at least three to five months. We can then move westward to occupy Chahar, and together with the land of Rehe, we will finally have our own territory.

Gao Yuansheng successfully contacted the Japanese invaders outside.

"Brother Liu, I'm right, aren't I? The brothers on the battlefield have already made their point. As long as you can guarantee our safety, no one wants to work for the Japanese."

In the darkness, Gao Yuansheng patted his chest and said, next to him was Sun Xing, the commander of the Rehe garrison regiment.

This brother Liu is the battalion commander of the second battalion of the first regiment, Liu Renyuan.

"Then stop talking nonsense. If you want to surrender, you need to give us a token of your loyalty. As far as I know, there are over eighty devils on this position. Without their heads, do you think our Commander Li can trust you?"

Liu Renyuan had a dogtail grass in his mouth...
