"I said we can't do it, what about the wounded?"

Li Shaoyi said unhappily, and Ma Leizi quickly took out the small notebook he brought with him and wrote down this matter. This guy is usually very bold, but everything he did was approved by Li Shaoyi. He wrote it down now to avoid his elder brother from denying it if he got into trouble in the future.

"Haven't you been practicing calligraphy for half a year? How come your handwriting is still as bad as a dog's? Whoever taught you how to write, deduct one month's salary from him."

Li Shaoyi glanced at his brother from the side. He saw that his brother's handwriting was so big that it couldn't even fit in a frame. Now he could write a few complete sentences. This was actually quite difficult. However, the handwriting was really ugly. Fortunately, it was only the two brothers who read the handwriting. If it appeared in the government document, all the people in the 4th Infantry Division would be disgraced.

"No one, no one. I'll go back and practice more."

Li Shaoyi originally said this casually, but when he saw Ma Leizi reply to that person in this way, he immediately became interested. It seemed that there was someone like that.

Originally, the brothers were all bachelors, but now with the rise of the 72nd Army, each of them has the status of a general, and it is very normal for them to find a wife to live with.

"Report to the commander, the Japanese army has broken through the position of our Third Regiment. The Third Regiment has suffered heavy casualties. Request for retreat."

Li Shaoyi was just about to ask Ma Leizi when the combat staff officer came running back. Ma Leizi looked at this guy strangely and asked, "Can the Japanese break through the position of our entire regiment?"

In Ma Leizi's mind, as long as we are fully armed, with a regiment of two to three thousand people, and are on the defensive, even if the Japanese send a division, they should not be able to break through our position. What kind of powerful medicine have they taken?

"Notify the Third Regiment to retreat, and prepare the Second Regiment to take over the Third Regiment's cover."

Li Shaoyi said somewhat tiredly, coming to the front of the sand table, in the past two days, our three regular infantry regiments have retreated. The Japanese have adopted the human wave tactics, and we don’t know how to respond.

Take the Third Regiment that just retreated for example. There were more than 16,000 Japanese soldiers in front of them. When the charge horn sounded, these Japanese soldiers rushed forward fearlessly. The automatic firepower from top to bottom of the Third Regiment made the gun barrels red, killing at least 5,000 to 6,000 Japanese soldiers, but these people seemed to be unaware of life and death, and they kept rushing forward. Our positions were retreating step by step, and now they can no longer be held.

"The Japs are trying to kill us."

After knowing the specific situation on the front line, Ma Leizi also broke out in a cold sweat. Li Shaoyi still remembered some movies made by the Americans. When the Japanese launched the Banzai Charge, the Americans also used automatic firepower, but the Japanese crowd was too large, and they ran very fast. The Japanese soldiers in front were carrying grenades on their bodies, and they detonated them directly after coming up, no matter whether they killed the enemy or their own people, they would detonate them when they reached the position.

This indiscriminate attack has caused considerable losses to our army. The 3rd Infantry Regiment has a full strength of 2,492 people, but only 1,310 have been evacuated so far, and the rest have all died on the battlefield.

Of course, their sacrifice also brought the Japanese more than 8,000 troops, and this is still an incomplete statistics. If the statistics were complete, it is estimated that another 1,000 or 2,000 could be added.

When the Japanese are fighting the 72nd Army now, they no longer use the same fighting methods as before. They now have only one way of fighting, that is, exchanging lives for lives. If five people cannot exchange for your life, then I will give six, seven, or eight people. In short, as long as I can exchange for this position, no matter how many people die, I am willing to do it.

"I'm telling you this, you might not believe it, but we have over 50,000 Korean soldiers on our current battlefield. These people are even more fearless in battle than the Japanese."

Li Shaoyi said somewhat depressedly that he had never had a good impression of the Korean country before. Now that these guys have joined the war, each of them runs faster than the Japanese devils, causing us a lot of trouble. Many tanks have been blown up by them.

"These bastards, it looks like we'll have to launch an airstrike on them."

Ma Leizi spat. The heavy bombers from Qingdao were already familiar to Goryeo. As long as we could provide them with combat targets, our heavy bombers could take off at any time.

"An air raid is impossible. The intelligence department has received information that Japan has transported all its domestic aircraft to Korea. You don't have many pilots there, but the Chief of Staff has recruited over 170 pilots. If possible, I will send them all to you, and you can find a way to have them form a bomber formation."

It is of course very painful to use our own people to fight and consume them, but there are many people in Western countries who want to make money. If they make huge amounts of money from us, your lives will not be guaranteed. You have to let us see the results of the battle. Otherwise, who has nothing better to do than give you so much money every month? Our money doesn't come from the wind.

"Brother, let's put aside the bombing for now. Is Tianjin really undefendable?"

Ma Leizi said stubbornly that in his opinion, we have strong soldiers and horses, so we just need to send reinforcements from the rear. Ma Leizi cannot see the war situation across the country, but Li Shaoyi is very clear that this war is by no means a local conflict. It lasted for eight years in history. It is unclear how long it will take, but we cannot put all our mobile forces here.

"It seems we can't hold it now. I ordered the sick and wounded to be transported to you as part of our advance planning. However, this war will be long-term, so you don't have to worry about not having a place to fight. The Qingdao base will be very useful. After we retreat from Tianjin, we can't let the Japanese occupy this place. Your fighter planes may have to launch regular attacks here."

The Japanese occupied our land. No matter what they did on this land, we have to make some trouble for them. The Shandong Peninsula occupied by Ma Leizi is almost the same distance from north to south. It is an excellent place, and they have made complete defenses there. Even if the Japanese wanted to take over his territory, it would be impossible.

"Then you can rest assured that as long as the order is given, I will definitely not compromise."

Ma Leizi said viciously, wishing he could go out and tear the Japanese apart right now.
