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

The explosion at the Tianjin Railway Station was like a fuse. On the front line where the 72nd Army was fighting against the Japanese, various explosions occurred one after another. Although Li Shaoyi had determined the strategy of retreat, he had to bite off a piece of their flesh before leaving, and it had to be a big piece of flesh.

"Bagaya Road..."

I heard that many positions of the 72nd Army were occupied today. Commander Terauchi and Chief of Staff Yamamoto of the North China Front Army also took an armored vehicle for a stroll outside. You know, yesterday, these guys hid in rat holes and didn't dare to come out.

Today I heard that the 72nd Army is preparing to retreat. Everyone is preparing to show up in public, and those who should be in the newspapers will also be in the newspapers. Although they say that they don't care about fame and fortune, their bodies are still very honest.

As a result, I had just been strolling on the road for less than ten minutes when the half circle in front of me suddenly exploded and connected.

"Commander, please return to headquarters immediately. There are too many uncertain dangers on the battlefield."

Chief of Staff Yamamoto said nervously that when the explosion sounded just now, he thought about ordering his armored vehicle to go back, but then he thought that the commander was still in front of him. If he went back like this, his career as an official would probably be over.

"Damn it! Didn't you say the 72nd Army was preparing to retreat? What's going on? Count the losses immediately. Order the reconnaissance planes to track down the main force of the 72nd Army. We can't let them get away."

Commander Terauchi said viciously that when he came out of the command center just now, he knew that the surrounding Japanese troops were rushing forward, hoping to be the first to rush to the position of the 72nd Army. Now the position of the 72nd Army should be densely packed with Japanese soldiers. He didn't know how many Japanese soldiers would be killed by the explosion of that level just now.

"Someone's already working on it. Your safety is paramount. Let's go back first. This area was once the position of the 72nd Army. What if they've also planted a bomb here..."

After hearing what Chief of Staff Yamamoto said, the commander, although nervous in his heart, still had an impatient expression on his face, as if he had put his own life and death aside, and even thought that the chief of staff was a little timid.

However, his next action made Chief of Staff Yamamoto look down on him. You had a fearless expression on your face just now, but now you are pedaling the bike at no slow pace at all.

When Li Shaoyi was preparing to evacuate Tianjin, he made an assessment of the entire city and wanted to turn it into a scorched earth. After the war broke out, no more than 10% of the people lived in the city. These people were unwilling to leave their homes after being persuaded many times. Li Shaoyi could only give them a specific area and told them not to leave this specific area during the war.

The original airport had been bombed, including the runway, and there was no possibility of repairing it. Repairing the airport would be much more tiring than building a new one.

"How are the preparations going?"

Li Shaoyi stood beside the airport, watching the engineers on the scene placing the final explosives. The Japanese army would send people in sooner or later. Although the explosives today caused a lot of losses to the Japanese, we have plenty of explosives. This is just the beginning, not the end.

"All troops are retreating according to plan. In today's demolition work, the Japanese lost over 8,000 men, with over 3,000 seriously injured and countless others lightly wounded. We will gradually withdraw from Tianjin within the next four days. And as you instructed, tomorrow night or the night after tomorrow, three elite troops will launch a surprise attack on the Japanese army, giving them a surprise counterattack."

Zhao Tiezhu was standing by and reporting. He was not in a good mood. Although the casualty figures had been rising in the past few days, we had to leave Tianjin after all. During the previous meeting, many people inside wanted to fight to the death in Tianjin. However, after Li Shaoyi told them the data, these people also knew what to do next.

It's not that we can't defend Tianjin. The support from the rear is not small. If we continue to send more troops, we will continue to fight here. But there is only one consequence of doing so, that is, our strategic forces will be firmly tied here, and when war breaks out in the south, we will not have the strength to continue to hold on.

After weighing the pros and cons, Li Shaoyi believed that it was a wrong strategy to give up the southern battlefield for a city like Tianjin. The main reason was that it was too close to the Northeast and Goryeo, and we could not defend it anyway. It would be better to kill a large number of Japanese manpower during the retreat, preserve our strength, and wait to intervene in the southern battlefield.

"Cancel the planned attack tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Wait until we have all retreated from Tianjin City before launching a counterattack. Today's explosion has already alerted them. If we launch a counterattack, I don't think the results will be significant. Delaying them for a day or two, until they are less alert, may yield better results."

Li Shaoyi patted Zhao Tiezhu's shoulder. He didn't want to give up the country, but his time for rebirth was limited. The northern Xiongnu grasslands occupied a large number of mobile forces, and our losses in Tianjin City had reached tens of thousands of people.

Even though the Japanese losses were six or seven times ours, they are a complete country and have been industrialized for a very long time. Their soldiers have undergone long-term training, and their domestic reserve forces have their own systems, so they can replenish their forces quickly. We are just a makeshift team. If it weren't for Li Shaoyi's system, we wouldn't even be qualified to challenge the Japanese. It is not easy for us to reach the situation we are in today. If we ask for too much, we will get hurt.

"Okay, I'll go down and make arrangements right away. Your retreat should also be put on the schedule. If you stay here now, you'll be easily caught by the Japanese army."

Originally, the airport was a defensive focus, and there were some elite troops surrounding it. The Japanese had also thought about attacking the airport, but after losing several thousand people, they knew that the defense around the airport was no joke. Even if they lost an entire division, it was impossible for them to attack the airport. Therefore, the idea of ​​capturing Li Shaoyi alive was thrown out of their minds from the beginning, and it was somewhat unrealistic.

Now the elite troops around the airport have withdrawn, and there are not many troops left with Li Shaoyi. We must retreat when it is time to retreat. If anything goes wrong, the results we have achieved will not be able to make up for it.
