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

The news of Li Shaoyi's coming to Tianjin could not be concealed, because it involved too many aspects. The news of Japan's full-scale invasion of China could not be concealed either, because it involved even more aspects.

Of course, some people would not believe it even if they saw irrefutable evidence. Instead, they would accuse Li Shaoyi of forging it. Otherwise, Li Shaoyi would not be able to justify himself. The current situation in North China is purely the result of the meddling of Li Shaoyi and his 72nd Army.

When they learned of this, many members of the 72nd Army were speechless. Why were ordinary people so easily fooled these days? No one believed the facts we spoke of. Some people's stories simply catered to conspiracy theories, but many people immediately sided with them.

"Alright, alright, there's no need to be angry about these things. Many ordinary people haven't encountered so many things, and most of their thinking is relatively simple. As long as we have a clear conscience, many problems will be solved anyway."

Did the Japanese really invade China or just pretend to invade? In the next period of time, it will soon be fully verified. Li Shaoyi does not want to argue on this issue. The most important thing now is to launch a full-scale attack on the Japanese army in Tianjin.

That’s right, attack!

In the past few days, Li Shaoyi has not made any other moves. It's not that we only need an airport, but we are waiting for the Japanese to recall all the troops and to various strongholds outside the city of Tianjin. Then we have to rush over. Now that you have gathered together, we have to launch the attack in advance without waiting for you to attack our positions.

"The Marshal is right. Ignore those people from before. God knows what they were thinking. Although only two regiments of our Third Division have come here, this is our old place. No matter what the combat mission is, I, Zhao Tiezhu, guarantee that we can complete it."

Zhao Tiezhu finally got the chance he had been waiting for. When the previous two infantry divisions were shining, he had been stationed in North China. Now he was in urgent need of troops, so the Air Force transported their two regiments here. Their weapons and equipment were in the local warehouses, ready to shine.

"Hey, Commander Zhao, don't ask me about this. I'm only here to boost morale. How should we fight the defense of Tianjin? That's still your business. Now, except for your two infantry regiments, all the armed forces have been assembled. There are no more than 5,000 people in total. Add your two infantry regiments, and that's just over 10,000 people. This airport is obviously unusable. You should figure out how to fight it yourself."

Zhao Tiezhu had never imagined that Li Shaoyi would actually arrange things this way, but he soon understood. Tang Guoping and Liu Xiaoshan were both capable of handling matters independently, and even Ma Leizi was thriving in Qingdao. What was I lacking compared to them? I had everything I needed, and I was supposed to have better military talent than them. After all, I came from the military, and those guys were all carrying heavy loads.

"Well, I don't really have a comprehensive battle plan, but I do know one thing: we need to eliminate the troops surrounding the airport first. After that, we can move on to other things. Is that okay?"

Zhao Tiezhu thought about it for a moment and immediately came up with a battle plan that even an ordinary soldier could come up with. Li Shaoyi knew why he did this. It was because our weapons and equipment were more powerful and the army's combat advantages were a level higher than those of the enemy.

"Then it depends on your performance, Commander Zhao."

Li Shaoyi patted Zhao Tiezhu on the shoulder and left the meeting room. The rest is up to you.

"Captain Ma Feng."

"exist."

"You will lead the assault team and the Jincheng Security Brigade to attack the 226th Regiment on the left."

"First Regiment Commander Wang Junbiao."

"exist."

"Attack the Kamitogawa Regiment and the Imiya Battalion on the south side."

"Second Regiment Commander Sun Lei."

"exist."

"Attack the 9736th Battalion on the left."

"The remaining troops will hold their positions and await my orders. Be ready to attack at any time to support the other troops. All armored vehicles, tanks, and other weapons will be given priority for supply to these three attacking forces."

Zhao Tiezhu is also a veteran in the army. It only took him two hours to get a good understanding of the surrounding situation. These are the troops closest to us. We will wait until dawn tomorrow and then launch an attack on them directly. If the attack on the south side is successful, we can also take advantage of the chaos to seize the train station.

The Japanese army fought for two whole days but failed to take back an inch of land on the airport, so under the order of Commander General Terauchi, all troops retreated and began to reorganize and replenish the troops, waiting for a day before attacking again. However, they did not expect that just after they had completed the replenishment, at 7:30 in the morning, the troops of the 72nd Army, with the airport as the center, launched an attack on the surrounding areas in the rain.

When the attack began, there were no artillery and aircraft to clear the way as before. Because it involved some civilians in Tianjin, our personnel only used the existing weapons in their hands. Although the civilians in Tianjin began to flee for their lives, some of them did not run that fast. Li Shaoyi could not possibly drag them into the war.

The Kamitugawa Regiment on the south side was the first to be attacked.

The Kamitugawa Regiment is of Class A standard, with nearly 5,000 men in total. During the attack the day before yesterday, they lost more than 1,500 men. After the personnel were replenished, each unit requested time for integration, so they were ready to withdraw. However, before they even started the action today, more than 30 tanks and men came charging in front of the position.

At that time, Captain Uetogawa rubbed his eyes vigorously. "The 72nd Army has been here even shorter than us. Don't they need to reorganize? We have also been attacking them for a long time."

According to their idea, when the army arrives at a new place, it needs at least one to two days to rest, but the people of the 72nd Army seem to have no such operation at all.

Of course, the artillery did not give them time to think. Just when these people could not believe this, 72 tons of artillery shells had already fallen. The tanks in the distance opened fire one after another, specifically aiming at the firepower points on the positions. In less than ten minutes, the exposed heavy machine gun and mortar positions were almost wiped out.

Only then did the Uetogawa Regiment pull out their six anti-tank guns...
