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

At this moment in Li Shaoyi's command center, he didn't care about the fighting situation in front, but was staring at his statistics department. At this moment, the number of losses of the Japanese army was already calculated in tens of thousands.

In the areas around Tianjin, the Japanese used various means to transport 119,000 troops. Together with the original troops, the total number was 127,000. However, due to the tenacious resistance of Li Shaoyi and his men, more than 31,000 people have withdrawn from the battle. They either died here or were seriously injured and unable to fight. This is a gratifying thing.

"Marshal, today's battle isn't over yet. After today's battle, I estimate that the total number of Japanese casualties will be close to 40,000. Of course, the thousands of casualties added today are different from those in the past few days. These people are all the elite of the Fifth Division."

Wang Manli also stood up and stretched. Just counting these numbers made her eyes a little blurry.

"What's wrong with the elite? We're also sending out elite troops. We just want to fight each other to see whose elite troops are more powerful?"

When Li Shaoyi said this, the combat staff officer next to him also brought over another set of statistics.

This is the report that Li Shaoyi is not willing to see. As of today, a total of 5,395 people have been killed in the combat units and intelligence departments of the 72nd Army, and more than 1,200 have been seriously injured.

There is no war without casualties. Li Shaoyi thought that his side was well trained and equipped with a large number of advanced weapons, and the losses faced by the Japanese should be at least less than 10%. Now it seems that this is not the case. The current loss has reached 1 to 8.

The fundamental reason is that our army was pulled from the rear and was not familiar with the local area. In addition, these Japanese were really fearless and ruthless. The things that appeared in the anti-Japanese drama really gave Li Shaoyi some wrong judgments.

In addition to being extremely accurate with their guns, the Japanese also have great endurance. At times, they can even compete with our wheels. This is something that many people did not expect. They thought they had gotten rid of them, but when they looked back, they found that the Japanese were still within the attack range.

When our army was fighting, they fired their ammunition at the first opportunity. Now the Japanese were following closely behind, and we had no way to deal with them. Instead, some of the people who retreated slower were injured by the Japanese.

Before the war, Li Shaoyi had anticipated the logistical problems and increased logistical supplies from all aspects, including finding various rickshaws and animal carts from the local area. However, during the battle, he still underestimated the consumption of ammunition.

Take the train station for example. Each soldier consumes an average of 200 kilograms of ammunition per day, but our supply capacity can only reach 180 kilograms. The battlefield is different from other places. We cannot negotiate conditions. If we are short of 20 kilograms of ammunition, it means that the soldiers cannot exert 100% of their combat effectiveness when fighting.

"Report to the commander-in-chief, student representatives from Nankai University have arrived."

While Li Shaoyi was looking at the materials and thinking about something, several young students came in through the door.

"Thank you, General. I'm a student representative from Nankai University. My name is Dong Guangyi, and these are our classmates. We've gathered over 2,000 students in Tianjin. We know we can't go to the battlefield, but we have plenty of strength. I heard you're short of transporters, so we can carry everything on our shoulders or on stretchers. We're not afraid of getting tired."

Dong Guangyi was in tatters, and the original color of his Zhongshan suit was no longer recognizable. From the day the war broke out, he and several close students helped transport the wounded on the battlefield. Every day, dozens of wounded soldiers arrived at the hospital under their transportation.

You have to know that after the war broke out, the streets were full of war garbage. Except for some tanks and tracked armored vehicles, other vehicles could not pass at all. If you walk, it would probably be even slower. Dong Guangyi contacted some rickshaws. He used rickshaws where he could pass, and carried the garbage with his hands and shoulders where he couldn't pass. He was determined to send his brothers to the hospital.

"I understand your feelings, but our country is sorely lacking in highly educated people like you. Do you know how many people in our country only have one college graduate? If a shell were to fall, you would..."

Li Shaoyi really didn't want to let these college students go to the battlefield, even if it was just to transport some supplies for himself.

"But we can't contact anyone else in a short time. We've all gathered together. If you don't use us, who will you use?"

Dong Guangyi said anxiously that after the war broke out, all organizations could not contact their subordinates, but these students were all living together, so when someone raised their arms and called for help, more than 2,000 people stood up immediately.

"Then I won't be polite with you. Transportation is indeed a problem right now. You'll transport the equipment from the airport warehouse to the locations I mentioned. Once there, unload the weapons, equipment, food, and drinks, and then return to the airport base. Your mission is solely to transport equipment back and forth between these locations. You are absolutely not allowed to set foot outside. If you can make this promise, then I will allow you to participate in the transportation mission."

Li Shaoyi saw the telegrams pressed next to him, all of which were from commanders in various places requesting things, but we only have so many transport troops, and the planes coming from the rear are only transporting some combat troops.

Dong Guangyi looked at these points on the map. Most of them were places where the fighting was not very intense. He understood what Li Shaoyi meant. He asked them to transport the weapons and ammunition to these points, and then let the soldiers distribute them with these points as the center.

Although it was different from what they expected and the weapons and equipment were not delivered directly to the soldiers, it was still a contribution to the national war.

"We strictly followed General Xie's instructions. I immediately mobilized the students. We've also been busy during this time, borrowing a lot of carts from the locals. Transportation may be a little slow, but we will definitely complete the mission."

After Dong Guangyi finished speaking, he led his classmates out. Li Shaoyi saw that several of them had broken hands, so he naturally understood what was going on.

"Send a few medics over to treat their wounds. Also, have them wear whatever gloves and other protective gear we have. Also, have some of the lightly wounded accompany them in the vehicle. They'll know how to hide if they encounter bombing or artillery fire..."
