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

The regiment commander had run away, and the remaining soldiers naturally had little intention of fighting, so the infantry regiment of more than 2,000 people instantly became a mess. Our people just had to surround them and slowly capture them.

After the last war, the remaining veterans did not have much strength. Many Japanese soldiers discovered that they were still the same as before and had not even recovered to their peak strength. However, the officers and soldiers of the 72nd Division in front of them seemed to have improved their combat effectiveness and had learned to fight in coordination with infantry and tanks.

This term has been heard in the Japanese army, that is, those who have studied in Europe, but they do not take it seriously. They believe that the courage of the soldiers can solve everything. What's more, their main enemy is the Longguo Army. How can the Longguo Army achieve coordinated combat between infantry and tanks?

Now the people of the 72nd Division have taught them a lesson. We have not only achieved coordinated combat between infantry and tanks, but also, with the help of jeeps and armored vehicles, have almost achieved fully mechanized combat, especially on this flat ground. We can almost be said to be unstoppable.

Within two days of the war, the Japanese army lost more than 5,000 people, of whom more than 3,500 were sent to prisoner-of-war camps, 1,700 were killed in battle, and more than 800 were missing.

The 1st Flying Division once again did not dare to go into battle and hid in its own several airports. The front-line combat divisions needed a large number of air defense weapons, but the 1st Flying Division did not dare to transfer the air defense forces, fearing that without the support of the air defense forces, the 72nd Division's aviation brigade would probably come to bomb their airports.

4th Brigade Front Command

"These damn animals are running back again?"

According to Zhang Maozi's idea, now that we have won the victory on the battlefield, we should speed up our progress and strive to achieve greater results.

Who knew that the soldiers of the Japanese 12th Division simply abandoned three county towns and began to retreat to the northeast. The 13th Division was originally going to come to support, but after seeing this situation, it also joined the 12th Division and had no intention of moving forward at all.

Originally, the two parts of the 123rd Division formed a forward bulge, but now they have all retreated. If we attack rashly, the safety of the two wings cannot be guaranteed.

"So we're just going to endure this?"

Lin Shuisheng, the commander of the armored regiment, said somewhat uncomfortably that his brothers had just fought some battles and felt they should have more experience on the battlefield, but the Japanese retreated overnight. He still remembered the Marshal's order not to go deep into the Northeast.

"So what do you say we should do? Originally, there were only two divisions in front of us, but now they don't want any territory and have retreated behind the defense line. There are five divisions lined up here. If they all come out to fight us, plus the security brigade, we can hold out, but the problem is that we can't cover such a long front line."

Zhang Maozi drew a line, a battle line that was hundreds of kilometers long, which was definitely not something the Fourth Brigade could handle.

"However, while they are still retreating and the air force reconnaissance can still find us, we should go up and deal with them again and take as much meat as we can. We can't just kill over 4,000 devils and call it a day without even enough money for gas."

Lin Shuisheng thought for a while and said, since they haven’t run far yet and there are not many mountains around, they should be able to catch up with them under the guidance of the Air Force reconnaissance plane.

"Don't chase a desperate enemy. Stop talking nonsense. Let the Air Force bomb them along their retreat route for a while. That's our best effort. If anything gets lost, I don't have a second armored regiment."

Zhang Maozi hadn't lost his mind yet. Although according to Commander Lin, they could achieve some results, the question was what to do if something unexpected happened? We had already scouted the original battle area, but now we've retreated into the Japanese-occupied area, and there are many places we don't know. What if they set an ambush? That would turn a good thing into a bad one.

What's more, we have just occupied six county towns, involving millions of civilians. How many Japanese traitors and spies are there among them? We have to cooperate with the military intelligence department to conduct a survey, and then conduct a large-scale investigation to find out as many people as possible.

According to Li Shaoyi, occupying a place is a real occupation, not that once your soldiers set foot on this land, it becomes your territory. You have to sort out all the people. Although you don't necessarily have to make them support us wholeheartedly, they just need to remain neutral and never cause any harm to us.

"Report to the commander, the commendation order from the Jinling Military and Political Department has arrived."

While Zhang Maozi was speaking, two medals from the Jinling Military and Political Department arrived, one for Zhang Maozi and one for Lin Shuisheng.

"What's the point of this thing? They don't even give us a penny of benefit. If they want to reward us, they can add another armored regiment, but we don't need them to buy tanks, and they won't even give us a unit."

Lin Shuisheng shook it in his hand, then threw it on the table, not taking it seriously at all. The last time Li Shaoyi came back from Nanjing, Chahar was already ours, but they didn't even give us an infantry division, but an independent brigade. From that time on, everyone had a bad impression of Nanjing.

"Put it away, kid. When you go to Jinling in the future, you must bring it with you. We don't care about it in the north, but it might be useful in the south."

After becoming the brigade commander, Zhang Maozi unexpectedly became sophisticated. When doing things in his daily life, he often learned from Tang Guoping. Originally, Tang Guoping was not that great, but now he has the authority of an official.

"Hurry and report this medal matter to the Marshal. Those people from the Jinling Military and Political Department are of no help during the war and are only causing trouble for us."

Zhang Maozi suddenly thought of another thing. Even if he wanted to give a commendation, it had to go through Li Shaoyi. Now giving an award without going through the chain of command was obviously to create conflicts within the 72nd Division. Those people in Jinling were not good-intentioned. We were fighting on the front line, and they were trying to divide you.

Of course this method is very stupid and anyone can see it at a glance, but they still do it.

This is how they do things. Even if you only notice it in the next second, it will leave a little impression in your mind. You may not care about it once or twice, but it will be different if it happens more often in the future. For example, when Zhang Maozi was demoted by Li Shaoyi, you might think of the Jinling Military and Political Department.

Nanjing is serious about dividing the local warlords and has a set of effective methods, but they are bound to run into a wall in Li Shaoyi's army.
