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

Chapter 470: Bragging and getting slapped in the face

Jinling, Rakshasa Consulate in China

"Regarding this military action, it was long planned by our Far East Military Region. It is aimed at punishing certain local warlords who trampled on peace. We believe that after this battle, peace will be restored in the North..."

Two days ago, the Luosha Embassy received an order from the country that after the war at Erdaohekou broke out, they could announce the sneak attack to the outside world. As for the outcome, these people believed that there was no suspense. Could it be that our elite sneak attack could not achieve victory?

Many Chinese reporters below had worried expressions on their faces. They had already lacked confidence in Li Shaoyi, and now they had been ambushed by the Russian army. They really didn't know where this war would go.

Some people have great confidence in Li Shaoyi. If it is a head-on clash, they have also done calculations on paper and should be able to defeat the Rakshasa army. But now the Rakshasa army is avoiding the spearhead of the 72nd Division and launching a sneak attack from the west. The result is difficult to judge. The information they have received so far is that there is only one security regiment defending the Erdaohekou.

For these reporters, they have seen the Dragon Country's security team, who are all lazy and harass the common people in groups. In addition to oppressing the common people, they can't even deal with the local bandits.

Such an army is defending against the elite troops of the Russian Far East Military Region?

Many people made sad remarks, saying that we have already lost the war. Currently in Shanxi and Suiyuan provinces, and even in other northern provinces, many people are preparing to move south with their money. If they don't leave now, when the Russians come, they will definitely rob them. They are not much better than the Japanese.

"Dear Mr. Spokesperson, I am a reporter from the Jinling Daily. If you win this war, will your troops enter the interior?"

A reporter asked what everyone was thinking, and several Luosha staff members showed proud expressions on their faces.

"Where this war will go isn't up to us, but to the side that started it. The north is peaceful, but some troops have entered Xiongnu territory for no reason. As good friends of the Xiongnu Kingdom, we don't want to see things get worse. We've sent three special envoys to coordinate, but a certain arrogant general ignored our advice. So, we can't predict what the outcome will be."

Many people present became even more panicked by this ambiguous answer. Some of their friends and relatives in Shanxi and Suiyuan provinces even wanted to send a telegram immediately to ask these people to move south immediately to avoid the war-torn area.

In recent years, the Russians have not occupied our land, but going back to the Qing Dynasty, wherever the Russians passed through the Northeast, basically no grass grew.

It’s better to be more cautious now!

"Dear Mr. Spokesperson, it's already nine o'clock in the morning. Has there been any result from the war that took place last night?"

A European and American reporter said, don't just talk about some vague things, you have to disclose to us the actual situation on the battlefield. The military strength of both sides was introduced before, and everyone thought that Li Shaoyi's army could not hold on, but now there is no news at all, and the people also want to know the result.

"We haven't received any updates on the front line yet, but even with the most conservative estimates, we've already crossed the Erdao River estuary and are heading south."

The spokesman thought for a while and said that they should have received a telegram from the Far East Military Region at six o'clock this morning, but they had made repeated inquiries and there had been no results so far.

Originally they thought of not holding this press conference, as there would definitely be reporters asking about this situation, and if the answer was not good, the embassy would lose face. However, the Luosha officials still wanted them to hold this press conference. The expulsion of the special envoy some time ago made them too embarrassed, and they wanted to take this opportunity to let Li Shaoyi have a taste of the same.

"Is it possible that the brothers of the 72nd Division are still in their original positions, and you haven't broken through the Erdao River estuary?"

A Chinese reporter said with some fear that he knew the possibility was very small, but he just didn't give up. After being oppressed by foreigners for so many years, a strong general finally appeared, and everyone really didn't want him to fail.

"There's a slight chance that what this journalist friend said will come true, and I absolutely won't deny it."

The spokesperson said this jokingly, which earned him laughter from the European and American reporters present. They all thought that the Chinese reporter was crazy. You are just a security group, and you want to stop the attack of several regular legion-level units of Luosha. You are too bold to think about it.

"A great victory at Erdaohekou..."

"Selling newspapers, selling newspapers, great victory in the North..."

"Commander Li flew to the front line to sell newspapers, sell newspapers!"

"Two regiments of my Second Brigade will replace the severely injured Seventh Security Regiment and defend the Erdao River estuary to the death..."

The voice of a newsboy could be heard faintly outside.

At the beginning, everyone was still sitting here, but soon the Chinese reporters could no longer sit still. They rushed out quickly to see what was going on. They came to the Rakshasa Embassy early in the morning. Could it be that the newspaper had received new news?

The corners of the mouths of several Luosha staff members twitched. They heard the sound just now very clearly. Could this be true?

If they had received a telegram from the Far East Military Region in the morning, they would never have believed it to be true. However, they had inquired several times and the Far East Military Region had not replied to them with a single telegram, so these people were unsure.

At first it was Chinese reporters, then European and American reporters, and in the end even the Russian and Japanese reporters didn't stay here anymore. They went to the streets to see what was going on. They were also curious.

Seeing a large group of reporters coming out, only a few Luosha staff members were left in the hall of the original press conference. Li Sibei, who was outside the door, was chewing gum and watching the scene happily.

A large number of newspapers have not been printed yet. This is just the beginning. A dozen newspaper boys have been hired to teach you a lesson.

Some reporters caught the news immediately. Holding the freshly printed Jinling Daily in their hands, which was still warm, they raised their cameras and took pictures of the astonished expressions of several Rakshasa officials.

The other reporters followed suit. What had been a proud morning was now hastily shutting the door to prevent these reporters from taking photos. They could have written a multi-thousand-word press release based on the expressions we had just had on them...
