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

Fortunately, Captain Guang issued the order in time, otherwise this wave of artillery fire would definitely cause us considerable losses. The armored vehicle's defense capability is still too poor.

The Japanese army also organized a pursuit, and more than 400 soldiers rushed out under the leadership of an artillery squadron.

"Brothers, slow down. Don't run too fast. Give the pursuing Japanese a chance. Once they get within our firing range, we'll strike back and kill these hundreds of them..."

The moonlight today is quite bright, so Captain Guang can see clearly what is happening in the distance.

These people were not running fast, so the Japanese soon came into range. The fleeing armored vehicle convoy was originally formed in a vertical line, but after receiving the order from the battalion commander, except for vehicle No. 3 and multiples of vehicle No. 3, all other vehicles quickly drove out to the left and right.

When the Japanese army saw the situation, they immediately realized that they had been tricked, but unfortunately they had no chance to regret it.

The last fifth of the ammunition was poured out, and nearly seventy light and heavy armored vehicles smashed down the crowd. Of the more than four hundred people, probably less than five percent were still able to stand, and many war horses were killed.

The captain of the cavalry squadron died on the spot.

"Hurry up and run away. Those who still have ammunition stay behind, and those who don't have ammunition go ahead."

After Captain Guang finished speaking, he patted the iron sheet above the driver's seat. His command vehicle was the first to be empty, so he rushed to the front. Now was not the time for the superiors to stay behind to cover the retreat.

Whoever has ammunition will cover the rear!

The sneak attack at night can be said to be a great victory. Of course, they paid a heavy price. More than a dozen armored vehicles were damaged, more than a hundred people were killed, and more than twenty people were injured.

On the other hand, the losses on the Japanese side were enormous, with one-third of an artillery battalion destroyed.

More than two thousand Japanese soldiers were killed, and another one thousand were seriously injured and lost their combat effectiveness.

More than 300 people are missing. To put it nicely, they are missing, but to put it bluntly, they were blown away, leaving no trace.

There were also more than a thousand people who were slightly injured and did not lose their combat effectiveness, but their combat effectiveness was more or less affected.

The goal of inflicting heavy damage on the enemy was definitely achieved.

The war was not over yet, and Li Shaoyi had no way to promote them, so all the brothers who participated in the operation were given an extra month's salary.

The brothers who died in the battle were compensated according to the standards, and those who died in the battle received double the bonus and sent it back home together with the pension.

All the injured brothers were sent back to Tongzhou for treatment overnight. No matter how much it cost, they must be treated in the best way. This is what the 72nd Brigade has always pursued.

After a whole night of tossing and turning, Li Shaoyi was busy arranging the wounded and sick, and did not sleep. He was just about to find a place to lie down for a while when a convoy came from behind us.

The Seventh Regiment of the Sichuan Army...

From the large banner on the front of the truck, Li Shaoyi already knew which team this was. Weren't they supposed to be undergoing reorganization and training in the rear? They had to pass the test before they could come here. It had only been half a month, so had they already passed the test?

Li Shaoyi personally waited at the city gate to see what was going on.

"Reporting to the Brigade Commander, the commander of the Seventh Regiment, Chu Jingping, reports to you."

When this guy saw Li Shaoyi coming out, he quickly jumped out of the co-pilot seat and trotted all the way to Li Shaoyi's side. How could he let his superiors wait for him? The rapid development of the 72nd Brigade was not without reason. Many of the superiors led by example.

"I told you to be reorganized in the rear, equipped with the most advanced weapons and equipment, and then undergo adaptive training. Why are you running to the battlefield?"

Li Shaoyi said somewhat angrily that he knew that the brothers of the Sichuan Army were enthusiastic, but if they were not reorganized and trained, this enthusiasm might cause the brothers to suffer heavy losses. Although the front line was short of soldiers and generals, Li Shaoyi would never let untrained people from the rear come over.

"Commander, I'm not that ignorant. I only brought some of the men with me this time. As for those unqualified brothers, I followed the advice of the Chief of Staff and told them to take their travel expenses and hurry home. Otherwise, they can join the local security group."

Chu Jingping pointed to the vehicles behind him. As expected, there were not many of them and they could not accommodate their entire regiment.

"That's fine. How many people are coming?"

After hearing his explanation, Li Shaoyi's expression relaxed.

"The foundation of our Sichuan Army is too poor. Only about 700 soldiers can pass the assessment."

Chu Jingping said somewhat embarrassedly that before coming, they had already been selected from the best, but compared with the people under Li Shaoyi, only these seven hundred people passed the assessment.

Of course, there are still more than 300 people in the training camp, and they can also pass the assessment, but it will take at least half a month. He heard that the fighting on the front line was like this, so he specially found the chief of staff. Considering the tense situation here, the chief of staff asked him to bring these 700 people to report first.

"Don't worry. These people will stay for now and undergo adaptive training in the surrounding area. I will transfer some people from other recruit training camps. Your regiment will not be downgraded and will remain a regimental organization. For now, it will be reorganized as the 4th Regiment of the 72nd Brigade."

Li Shaoyi knew what these people were worried about. If the number of people was not enough, it was very likely that a regiment would be reorganized into a battalion.

After hearing what Li Shaoyi said, Captain Chu's face relaxed a little. But even if they were organized into a battalion, didn't this guy bring his brothers with him?

Sometimes we should worry about the organization, but can we worry about this when we are fighting the Japanese?

"Don't worry, Commander. These brothers I brought with me are absolutely reliable. Without your orders, we will be like nails on the battlefield. Unless we are all dead, we will not let a single enemy get through."

Captain Chu dared to say this because he knew the character of his brothers and was not exaggerating.

"Then you will camp on the southeast side of the city first, that's the location."

Li Shaoyi pointed to a high ground on the southeast side of Chengde and said.

There was a Japanese army stationed there before, and the barracks were ready, but they needed to be renovated.

After settling Captain Chu's army, Li Shaoyi gave an order to the chief of staff, asking all localities to collect some qualified recruits and send them to the front line as soon as possible. The Fourth Regiment could not be just a showpiece.

The chief of staff told Li Shaoyi another piece of news: although Chengde had been taken, the Nanjing National Government was not planning to appoint Li Shaoyi as the governor of Rehe Province...
