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

That afternoon, the university student transport team was already on the road. Originally, there were only more than 2,000 students at the beginning, but after more than an hour of transportation, the citizens of Tianjin who stayed at home took the initiative to join in, and some people even brought their own means of transportation.

Li Shaoyi started broadcasting at this time, inviting all drivers who could drive in Tianjin to come to the airport warehouse to drive trucks.

Originally, Li Shaoyi did not want to launch a mass war. After all, if he did so, the Japanese would definitely retaliate against the local people once they occupied a place. However, the enthusiasm of the vast majority of the people was so high that if the correct method was used, the transportation efficiency would be much higher.

There were more than 500 trucks at the airport warehouse, and people were driving them that afternoon. Although their driving skills were not as good as those of the military, they were much faster than rickshaws in terms of transportation speed. The weapons and equipment of various troops were further replenished, and some of the more dangerous places began to turn danger into safety.

Of course, the most outstanding unit was Zhao Tiezhu's troops. After Zhao Tiezhu joined forces with the First Division's Guard Battalion, he shuttled back and forth three times on the Fifth Division's territory. The Fifth Division's troops were routed. During the battle, Division Commander Sakahara personally commanded the troops, but unfortunately he was shot in the thigh and was carried away by his men.

As for the junior brother whom he had high hopes for, he was targeted by our snipers during the battle, and there were two snipers. One of them was killed in the battle, and the division commander's junior brother also passed away.

"Commander, please allow our Fifth Division to withdraw from the battle. The Fifth Division is a renowned and meritorious military unit in Japanese history. Currently, our units have suffered losses exceeding 60%, and some units have fought more than eight battles. If we continue to fight in our various positions, the Fifth Division will cease to exist..."

Division Commander Sakahara dictated everything, and the telegraphist next to him wrote it all down, preparing to send a telegram to the North China Front Army Headquarters, allowing the 5th Division to temporarily withdraw from the battle sequence and retain some seeds for them.

If they had not seen it with their own eyes, many people in the Japanese army would probably not have believed that such a situation would occur. In their impression, the people of the Fifth Division were all tough guys, including their division commander, who would never say such words.

But five minutes later, this telegram reached General Terauchi's hands.

"It's only been two days, and in just two days, such an army has been formed..."

Commander-in-Chief Terauchi said with some disbelief that among all the troops under his command, the Fifth Division had the strongest combat effectiveness.

"Commander, let them retreat and rest. The 10th and 14th Divisions have already reached the open sea and will be able to join the battle soon. Two battalions of the 14th Division have already landed. If the 5th Division is allowed to continue, I'm afraid it will be completely wiped out. The 5th Division is a military unit that His Majesty the Emperor values ​​very much, and it must be rebuilt."

Chief of Staff Yamamoto pushed his glasses. This guy acted as if it had nothing to do with him. Originally, I was the commander of the North China Expeditionary Army. During the battle with Li Shaoyi, you guys cursed my ancestors for eight generations, saying that I was not good at this and that.

Now it's your turn to fight yourselves. If it weren't for the commander's hint, I would never stand up and say these words. It would be best if the Fifth Division was wiped out. It was their division commander who scolded me the most harshly at that time.

But thinking of the Fifth Division's status in the country, and the fact that His Majesty the Emperor had commended it twice, if it were really wiped out, all the people in the North China Front Army would have a hard time, including himself.

"Then let them retreat in an orderly manner. No matter how heavy the losses are, they cannot retreat in a rush."

General Terauchi also understood that this team could not afford to lose...

Especially their division commander, who is very popular within the army. If he really dies, someone will definitely hold him accountable in the future.

"Commander, in addition to these things, our air force has been further strengthened, and in the Tangzhou area, our airport has also begun to be used."

Other combat staff officers also began to report on the areas they were responsible for. At present, the number of Japanese combat aircraft in the entire North China region has increased to more than one thousand.

On the other hand, Li Shaoyi lost more than 300 aircraft of various types. For Li Shaoyi, the loss of aircraft was not a big deal, as he had them all the time, but the loss of pilots was not a big deal.

The search team had tried very hard, but ninety-seven pilots still died. When facing Japanese soldiers, these people did not choose to surrender. Instead, they used up the bullets in their self-defense pistols and kept the last bullet for themselves.

Li Shaoyi once told these pilots that as long as they could save their lives after parachuting, they could surrender to the Japanese, and we would take care of the subsequent matters. We could exchange them for Japanese prisoners of war. However, these people could not get over that hurdle in their hearts. So far, no one has surrendered, and all of them fought to the death.

"Commander, the navy has three cruisers and six destroyers. They have all been assembled and are preparing to bombard targets along the coast."

When the war just started, the Japanese Navy was already preparing to support land combat, but because a destroyer was sunk by a torpedo, they believed that there were submarines nearby, so the navy ignored the request of the Japanese Army and continued to carry out anti-submarine missions around. In the end, no submarines were found. Now they have regrouped and are preparing to bombard various targets along the coast of Tianjin.

"This is truly a blessing from heaven. Although the Fifth Division will be withdrawing from the battle, during this period, our naval and air force deployments have been nearly perfect. No matter how powerful the 72nd Army is, they are only a flash in the pan. Facing the entire Japanese Empire, their chances of victory are slim."

Commander Terauchi spoke very arrogantly, completely forgetting how sad he felt a few minutes ago when he heard that the 5th Division was crippled. Now that he heard some good news, he immediately started to get cocky.

At the same time, reconnaissance aircraft also found that the Japanese naval fleet had begun to assemble, and submarines could not be relied upon for the time being. This was Li Shaoyi's oversimplification, but our bombers were not idle...
