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

Li Sibei received the news at five o'clock this morning that the two infantry regiments of the Second Brigade had almost worn out the tank tracks, which is why they arrived at Erdaohekou half an hour ahead of schedule.

The situation was extremely tragic at that time. The 7th Security Regiment suffered more than 70% casualties, but the remaining personnel continued to hold on. Many brothers had only half of their bodies left, but they still gritted their teeth and persisted in the position, and never closed their eyes until the end.

"Brothers, we are late..."

In a certain newspaper, the headline on the front page was different from the others. This sentence was spoken by Liu Xiaoshan, commander of the 2nd Infantry Brigade.

They uncover the truth of the entire battle from another perspective.

When the 2nd Infantry Brigade arrived at the battlefield, the 7th Security Regiment was indeed at its end. Even if it had been another hour, they would not have been able to hold on.

The fierce attack from the Rakshasa side, which had nearly twenty times the number of troops, caused them to suffer heavy casualties. Many soldiers were like fools, and they only knew how to pull the trigger mechanically. They didn't even know that their brothers were coming from the rear. Many people had been pulled off the battlefield by their brothers from the Second Brigade for a long time and were still in a tense state. You can imagine what the battle at night was like.

You have to know that they are just a security group, not a real combat force, and this is the first time they have done such a big thing.

By five o'clock in the morning, only fifteen of the 129 artillery cadets were left in the team, and the rest had all died in battle.

Of the nearly two hundred paratroopers, only thirty remained, six of whom were seriously injured, and the rest were slightly injured.

There were only enough weapons and ammunition for the last wave. The commander of the 7th Security Regiment, Xu Chenglong, was seriously injured, but he insisted on commanding by the river. Finally, he gathered 30 boxes of grenades and waited for the enemy to rush across the river, ready to die together with them.

Fortunately, at this time the tanks of the Second Brigade rushed up from the rear, and dozens of shells hit the other side of the river directly, breaking up another attack of the Rakshasa. In one night, they repelled a total of seven attacks of the Rakshasa, and finally defended the Erdao River estuary.

At around 2:00 p.m. that day, students from various universities in Jinling began to march in the streets.

Protect your home and country!

Inflict heavy damage to the great powers!

Long live the Seventh Security Regiment!

Long live the 72nd Division!

Similar slogans began to resound throughout the streets and alleys of Jinling, and many citizens joined the parade. By the end of the afternoon, the entire parade had reached more than 20,000 people.

There are also many shop owners in the surrounding area who have specially purchased firecrackers and other things, and when the parade passes by their doors, they light all the firecrackers.

Other cities such as Pujiang and Hankou also started their own celebrations, and the entire Dragon Country entered a sea of ​​joy.

Of course, with joy comes sorrow. The doors of the Luosha consulates across the country were tightly closed. They had supposedly been celebrating today, but they hadn't expected such a result. Many Luosha ambassadors cursed the attacking army fiercely, "Are you all just shit eaters?" Several regular infantry regiments couldn't even break through a security regiment's defenses.

You're still thinking about occupying a large area of ​​territory in the north. Where on earth are your brains? Are they growing on your buttocks?

Listening to the sound of firecrackers outside, the staff of the Rakshasa Embassy felt like a mockery.

Western countries began to re-examine the combat effectiveness of the 72nd Division. Some diplomats have sent telegrams to domestic and foreign affairs departments, asking them to increase support for the 72nd Division. After all, they really hurt the Rakshasa.

The propaganda agencies of Western countries are no pushovers either. They brought out the combat effectiveness of the former Tsarist Russian army and compared it with the combat effectiveness of the current Russian army. They finally came to the conclusion that the current Russian official is much more backward than before.

The original European gendarmerie has now been beaten into this state by some local armed forces. If this situation continues, the entire Far East region will be lost.

These news penetrated into the country of Luosha in various ways, making some people in their ranks feel uneasy. The ongoing military reforms were immediately stopped by the Luosha top leaders, and they began to doubt themselves.

Under such circumstances, the 36th Division of the National Revolutionary Army began to board trains, preparing to go north to support the 72nd Division's war. At the same time, warlords from all over the country announced loudly that they would live and die with the 72nd Division.

At six o'clock that evening, the United States Embassy was the first to issue a statement, expressing support for the 72nd Division's democratic and independent behavior and its courage to challenge the Russian government, and provided the 72nd Division with two million oceans in military expenses that month.

The Windsor Empire also had a military budget of two million oceans.

In addition to the military expenditure of two million oceans, the Junkers will also send sixty graduates from the Munich Military Academy to the 72nd Division to participate in the training of new recruits.

Other Western countries also followed the United States and issued their statements, most of which supported the 72nd Division and supported them in fighting the Russians to the end.

Of course, there are also those who do not support it, such as the Japanese. They are in line with the Russians and believe that Li Shaoyi has broken the balance in the north and is a destabilizing factor in the region. Although Li Shaoyi has won now, it is only a small victory. This will anger the giant Russians, and a large number of troops will come again.

If the Japanese issued this statement under normal circumstances, it would cause fear in many people, but now everyone is in a sea of ​​joy, and this statement from the Japanese was directly hidden. Not many people noticed it, and some even thought that the Japanese were jealous.

The National Government also reacted very quickly. They did not expect that Li Shaoyi's men were so powerful. The Ministry of Military Affairs conducted a war game simulation. Even if the Far East Military Region continued to invest troops, with Li Shaoyi's existing troops, they could still fight like this in the case of a surprise attack. If the two sides faced the enemy head-on, the probability of winning was more than 80%.

In addition to the 36th Division, the National Government specially approved 5 million oceans of combat funds. This military expenditure is for special use only and will be directly handed over to the 72nd Division's Beijing office by specialized personnel.

As the commander of the 72nd Division, Li Shaoyi was awarded the Baoding Medal.

You should know that this is an honor second only to the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal. It only became more common within the entire national army in the late period of the War of Resistance Against Japan, and now there are only a handful of them. Li Shaoyi has already surpassed all the Whampoa students.

The 7th Security Regiment received commendations from the entire regiment, and the rest of the participants received corresponding rewards from the Jinling government.

While the people and the government across the country were celebrating, Liu Xiaoshan couldn't really feel happy. At that moment, on the battlefield at Erdaohekou, watching his brothers lying on stretchers, he silently prepared the appearance of each hero after another...
