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

Division Commander Idogawa turned around and saw that the group of people chasing them were too fierce. His two infantry battalions that were responsible for guarding the rear were now unable to resist. He looked at his watch and saw that less than half an hour had passed and his two infantry battalions were going to be scrapped in half an hour. Although the Idogawa Division was also organized according to the standards of a Class A division of more than 20,000 people, these people within the division were not good enough.

Apart from the more than 7,000 retired soldiers who have strong combat effectiveness, the rest are from the pioneering group. After arriving in the Northeast, they relied on the support of the Kwantung Army to constantly bully the surrounding people. They also have their own assets, but the problem is that compared with the real army, they don’t have much combat effectiveness.

We had been hoping that the 13th Division would give us some support, or have a complete battle plan so that we could continue to persevere. But who knew that old bastard Uchiyama would run away as soon as he heard the gunshots, leaving us behind as cannon fodder.

"That is how the matter?"

Division Commander Idogawa saw two armies establishing defensive positions to his east. Shouldn't they come over to support us and then fight the enemy together? Setting up defensive positions behind us, who are you defending against? Is this necessary among our own people?

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, those are the Nishikawa and Kumamoto Regiments of the 13th Division. We've just received a telegram informing us that these bastards are going to establish a defensive position behind our lines. It's said that this is the order of the Commander-in-Chief. The Commander-in-Chief won't allow us to retreat a single step. They're here to supervise the battle."

An officer under the command of Division Commander Idogawa said angrily that if they could come to support, with two entire infantry regiments, more than 5,000 regular soldiers, plus some retired soldiers in their army, they would definitely be in a much better situation than they are now, but they actually even guard against our own people.

"That bastard Uchiyama must bear the responsibility for the defeat. I will report all this to the Kwantung Army Headquarters."

Idogawa said very angrily, but the people around were not interested in this. We have to see how to solve the problem in front of us first. The enemy chasing us from behind is characterized by its strong mobility and vitality. They launched a devastating attack on the two infantry battalions in our rear. Coupled with the support of outer mortars, we have no power to fight back. Now, only half an hour has passed, and the two infantry battalions can no longer hold on.

"Reporting to the division commander, we have discovered the enemy's pursuit force in the south of our area, and the Akiyama Battalion has already engaged them..."

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, something terrible has happened. A large number of armored vehicles have been discovered to our north, and the Boshan Battalion is resisting..."

After two messengers came to report some important news, Idogawa realized that our enemy was far more terrifying than the legend said.

Before arriving at the Xiongnu steppe, many friends had reminded him not to underestimate the 72nd Army. Many of the Kwantung Army's famous armies had been destroyed at the hands of the 72nd Army. Even though it has been reorganized now, its combat effectiveness is by no means the same. He must be careful on the battlefield.

Idogawa took all these words to heart, but the problem is, even if I'm full of cunning, Commander Uchiyama, that bastard, won't give me a chance to show my skills. He ran away as soon as the gunfire sounded, which really shook the army's morale. Moreover, he set up a supervising team in the rear, not giving me any chance to retreat. What's the point of being cunning? They've blocked all your routes.

"Be careful of air raids."

Just when he didn't know what to do, the air defense officer shouted that a large number of planes were flying over from the southwest. However, these planes did not bomb them, but flew directly over their heads. The fighter planes only carried two 50-kilogram bombs, and the casualties on the ground were not large, with only a dozen bombs.

The others were confused and didn't understand what was going on, but Idogawa was very clear. That was the direction of their airport, and our fighter jets must have taken off. They were not in a hurry to bomb us, but wanted to get rid of our fighter jets first, and then the bombers would come over to bomb you openly.

No, we must escape from here. The 72nd Army's bombing often involves dozens of bombers, and they are all twin-engine heavy bombers. There is absolutely no way to survive if we stay in the army.

"Order all units to resist the enemy. The Commander has ordered us not to retreat a single step. Reinforcements are on the way. Nearby units should provide support and jointly resist the enemy's attack."

When Division Commander Idogawa saw his men around him, he knew that he had to issue an order to resist first, letting everyone hold off first, so that he would have time to think about how to solve the problem later.

All the combat staff went down to convey the orders. This time they came to the Xiongnu grassland to fight. At the beginning, many people noticed something was wrong because the weapons and equipment they carried could only support one or two high-intensity battles, and the subsequent resources were not transported up, so they knew that this was just a show.

Many people thought that there was no danger in this. When the people of the 72nd Army rushed towards this side, they did not feel how dangerous it was. After all, the people of the 72nd Army were far away from them, so they were not in a hurry for the time being.

But we didn't expect these guys to be so fast. In just two days, they have already rushed in front of us. It's really shocking.

After the various troops strengthened their resistance, Zhang Jiahua's army attack was temporarily thwarted. The victory they had just achieved was due to surprise attacks. There were not many heavy weapons in the army itself, so when the Japanese army was determined to resist, it was normal for the attack to be thwarted.

However, Zhang Jiahua was not worried. You can only defend one direction, and we are all sitting on wheels. With a slight detour, we will be behind you in no time. The trenches we have just dug will be of no use.

"Inform all units to engage in mobile warfare. If there's an advantage, we'll take it. If there's no advantage, we'll look for opportunities. No one can fight the Japanese head-on. If any unit suffers heavy losses, don't blame me for turning my back on them. In short, hold on to this division with all your might."

Zhang Jiahua received a report from the Air Force that a division of troops was fleeing in the distance, but he didn't have the ability to do so now. He could only eat the meat in front of him first. If he chewed too much, it would be difficult to chew it, and indigestion would be bad later...
