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

"Second Squadron of the Police Corps, upon receiving this order, immediately abandon all current tasks and quickly support Hongkou Park. Join forces with the local 88th Division officers and soldiers to recapture Hongkou Park. The day this order is issued..."

In the conference room of the Police Headquarters, Wu Zhenlei read the telegram sent from the headquarters.

At other times, a phone call would be enough, but now is an extraordinary period. If we don't have a telegram from the headquarters, it's like we have no proof. If we send troops out casually, if the Military Commission catches us, we might even be punished. It's such a ridiculous era.

"I heard that the higher-ups specifically asked you to be their commander. Your Second Squadron stole the show during the capture of the Japanese spies. My mission for you is very simple. After you take Hongkou Park back, keep a close eye on it and assist them in breaking into the Japanese Navy Headquarters."

It was rare for an army to be able to participate in the war, so Wu Zhenlei also gave them the most resolute combat mission, and the same type of soldiers received the same treatment.

"Don't worry, Commander Wu. We in the Second Squadron are no cowards. Today, we'll show all the young and old men in Pujiang how the Marshal killed the Japanese back then. We won't let him down. I'll lead the team out immediately. If we don't get back to Hongkou Park within two hours, I'll bring my head back to you."

Captain Fang of the Second Squadron is an old man who came from the north. When Li Shaoyi started his career, this guy was just an ordinary patrolman, but after such a long time, he finally became the captain of the Second Squadron.

This squadron is different from the squadron of the Peking Police Station. The Second Squadron of the Pujiang Police Corps has a total of more than 1,400 people, which is almost the same as an infantry regiment of the regular army.

If it were only the original part of the Marine Corps, the 88th Division would not have fought so passively. I just received news this morning that an infantry battalion of the Japanese Army's 3rd Division has already landed and joined the battle for Hongkou Park as quickly as possible, so the 88th Division could not defeat them.

"This is such bad luck! Yesterday was clearly a good opportunity, but unfortunately, under the mediation of the Western consuls, the Military Commission ordered us to suspend the battle, ruining our chance yesterday. Now we have to fight again today. Is this advantage so easy to gain?"

It was Captain Zhou of the 88th Division whose complaints against the Nationalist government reached their peak.

As the war in Pujiang became increasingly intense, the consuls of Western countries formed a diplomatic mediation team, hoping to get both sides to temporarily lay down their weapons. The Japanese government agreed at the time because it had to wait for the 3rd Army Division.

At that time, the National Government's army had the upper hand. Now, after a night of ceasefire, all our advantages have been lost. Instead, it was the Japanese's surprise attack that gave them the upper hand.

The brothers of the 88th Division were still fighting for Hongkou Park this morning. Now they are already one hundred meters away from Hongkou Park. It is estimated that by dark today, the distance may be two hundred meters.

The flag of the Japanese Navy Headquarters could still be seen at the original combat position. Where can you see it now?

"The little devils are coming up, Commander."

While Captain Zhou was complaining, the Japanese army launched a new round of offensive. They originally had four lines of defense on the street in front of them, and now only the last line of defense was left. If they could not hold it, the 88th Division would continue to retreat.

Everyone was filled with a burning desire. We had come to fight the Japanese, so how could we be the ones being beaten? It wasn't that the brothers weren't fighting hard; none of us were afraid of death. The problem was that the command from above was simply operating with a shrewd IQ. The Japanese could just say a few words and the ceasefire would be undone.

After they have made adjustments, they continue to fight. Can't we be a little tougher?

There was no so-called ceasefire in the middle. If the two armies had continued to fight, although we could not say that we had broken into the Japanese Navy Headquarters, at least Hongkou Park was still in our hands, and the important strongholds in the surrounding areas were also in our hands. The initiative of the war would not fall into the hands of the Japanese. Now that the Third Division continued to land, it brought even greater pressure to the 88th and 86th Divisions.

"Armored vehicle."

It seems that the Japanese attack this time is really going to defeat them. Generally, the Japanese rarely equip such armored vehicles when fighting. Although it is only covered with a layer of iron sheets, for the National Army that lacks heavy weapons, this thing can really play a significant role.

"Where's the heavy machine gun? Find a spot and hit it hard."

Captain Zhou knew that their other weapons could hardly cause damage to armored vehicles. Only by hitting a certain point with the Maxim heavy machine gun could they penetrate the armored vehicle. However, the Japanese would not let you keep firing. As soon as their veterans found the heavy machine gun position, they would immediately set up a grenade launcher.

Then the shells will come, so what matters on the battlefield is time. If our heavy machine guns can destroy the armored vehicles before their grenade launchers come, then we win.

The regiment originally had twelve heavy machine guns, but now only two remained in position. However, upon receiving the order from the regimental commander, these two positions bravely opened fire. Bullets clattered against the armored vehicles, and once a belt of ammunition was exhausted, they had to quickly relocate. This was a race against time.

"Be careful."

When Captain Zhou saw a flash of fire in the distance, he knew it must be a Japanese grenade launcher. Fortunately, the shell was not very accurate and exploded next to one of our heavy machine gun positions. The soldiers skillfully dismantled the heavy machine gun and quickly ran towards the next designated location, which also made Captain Zhou breathe a sigh of relief.

However, before they could catch their breath, another shell exploded on the retreating heavy machine gun team. They were originally in a corridor on the second floor and were moving to the third floor. The shell blew up the outer wall, and three soldiers carrying heavy machine guns were hit. They fell from the upstairs and it seemed that there was no hope for them.

What a fuck!

After fighting for seven or eight days, not only did the number of heavy machine guns decrease sharply, but the mortars and other equipment were basically used up.

This is the result of the Pujiang Police Department's replenishment. If it weren't for the shells and bullets left by the Pujiang Police Department, we would have been finished long ago relying solely on our current logistics.
