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

Although the Japanese announced that they had only more than 3,000 marines, after a period of investigation, they found that this number was not accurate at all.

According to the official organization, there were indeed only more than 3,000 people, but after the war broke out, the Japanese still found another one or two thousand young and middle-aged people in Pujiang. These people had also received certain military training, and some of them served as guards in major Japanese trading companies and often used guns.

In addition, a number of young Japanese people were brought in from the vicinity of Pujiang through other channels. Although these people had not received military training, they had played with guns in their daily lives and had certain abilities.

So now the total number of Japanese Marines in Pujiang has exceeded 5,000, and there are also some armed personnel from the Chamber of Commerce hiding in the dark. Even though they were cleared out again and again by Wu Zhenlei, these people still survived.

"hidden."

Captain Zhou shouted, and a shell from the anti-tank gun hit the wall next to it. The whole building shook, and many soldiers had tinnitus, and even the scene in front of them began to blur.

"Hurry up and destroy their anti-tank guns, or we'll all die here."

Commander Zhou said loudly that they still had mortars, but no one knew where they were. The 88th Division had a large number of mortars, but after several days of fighting, some artillerymen had died, and the artillery they had was also destroyed.

The Japanese artillery is no pushover. We can't gain the upper hand in a one-on-one fight.

"Report to the regimental commander, more than half of the artillery has been lost. You sent them down to rest this morning."

After hearing what the adjutant beside him said, Captain Zhou suddenly remembered, is there nothing we can do against the Japanese anti-tank artillery?

The Japanese were about to finish loading their second round of artillery shells. If those two anti-tank guns were to fire again, our brothers in this building would have no chance of survival. Now it would be too late to even retreat.

At this critical moment, two shells with thick smoke flew out from an abandoned building. This seemed different from normal shells, because our shells did not produce such thick smoke. What was going on?

The people from the Pujiang Police Department...

Captain Zhou saw clearly that in the abandoned building, there were several people wearing black military uniforms, and it was obvious that they were not from their 88th Division.

Did they join the war?

The Japanese were fighting fiercely and were about to surround the Nationalist troops in the building, but the two anti-tank guns were completely turned into parts by the two iron fists, and five or six artillerymen couldn't find their heads.

The remaining Japanese soldiers retreated quickly, but more than a dozen of them were killed one after another by the iron fists.

"Captain, look."

A soldier pulled Captain Zhou to the rear window, where there were several trucks parked. The signs on them clearly stated that they were from the Pujiang Police Department. The man who had just been responsible for the ambush on several soldiers got into the car without saying a word and retreated towards the Pujiang city center.

"Just pretend you didn't see what happened just now. Just know it in your heart."

Captain Zhou understood why these police officers were like this. The Nationalist government didn't allow them to participate in the battle. Without them, we wouldn't be able to defeat them on our own. Just like what happened just now, they were our saviors.

"Did the guy above get his head squeezed by the door? Or did he choke on water while drinking? The Pujiang Police Department is incredibly powerful, and they're the local bosses there. We didn't even notice the attack location all morning, but they discovered it right after they arrived. If our two armies were to coordinate, how could we possibly defeat these Japanese?"

The other soldiers around could no longer suppress their anger. When they just entered Pujiang, they heard the order of the Military Commission. We all admire the 72nd Army for fighting in the north.

They only had the strength of one army and beat the Japanese to tears, but now they are not allowed to participate in the Pujiang War. What are you thinking? Are you all bribed by the Japanese?

"Shut up! Just keep your thoughts to yourself. No one can publicly question the orders of the Military Commission. We are the ace troops of the entire National Army and the direct descendants of the Central Army. If these words were heard by some reporters, our division commander would be in trouble as well."

Captain Zhou quickly asked his men to speak less. Because of the war, there were many reporters around Pujiang. If they heard similar words, we would be in trouble.

However, Captain Zhou was able to temporarily suppress the soldiers' thoughts, but judging from the expressions on their faces, they were still dissatisfied with the people from the Military Commission.

Wu Zhenlei followed Li Shaoyi's advice and sent small units to provide support at various positions. The frontline combat troops are welcome, but we cannot have any interaction with them. We just need to get the job done.

Wu Zhenlei made preliminary arrangements. His soldiers carried 60mm mortars and a bunch of iron fists. No matter where they went, they could change the situation of the battle on the spot. They would leave after fighting and not give these people any chance at all.

Later that day, eleven Japanese positions were captured, and all personnel retreated to the Marine Corps barracks. When the news of the victory reached Nanjing, many people were so happy that they wanted to hold a celebratory dance.

Of course, the commanders fighting on the front lines understood that without the help of the brothers from the Pujiang Police Department today, we would not have been able to seize eleven Japanese positions. Seizing one or two positions during the battle was already quite difficult. Don't think the Japanese are a bunch of softies on the battlefield in Pujiang; they are very capable.

However, these words were useless. When they entered Pujiang earlier, the commanders of the central army had repeatedly ordered that they must not cooperate with the people from the Pujiang Police Department. They were Pujiang police on the surface, but in fact they were all members of the 72nd Army. The National Government would never allow the 72nd Army to participate in this war about Pujiang.

There are two reasons why the National Government did this. On the one hand, it was afraid that Li Shaoyi's power would expand in Pujiang. After all, his power in Pujiang was already considerable.

If he were allowed to transport more people from the north, Pujiang might be his after the war.

Secondly, they were also afraid that Li Shaoyi would expand the scale of the war without authorization. The top leaders were still waiting to negotiate with Japan. If Li Shaoyi came, the direction of the war would be out of control.
