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

"I see you've been a little off these past few days, fighting all over the place. Are you unable to stay by my side?"

After sending the old earl away, Li Shaoyi had Jiang Weiguo transferred over. This guy served as the captain of the guard beside Li Shaoyi, that is, the commander of the Royal Guards Regiment. Recently, he seemed a little unhappy.

"Marshal, it's not that I'm unhappy, it's the brothers in our Guards Regiment who are unhappy. The Guards Regiment has now been expanded to three regiments. I don't know what people outside say about us. They say we eat the best, wear the best, and use the best things, but now they're going to fight the Japanese, and we can only stay in the rear. We have to bear all the good things, and fighting is their business. What do you say about us?"

If they hadn't talked about this matter, Captain Jiang probably wouldn't have felt so bad. But as soon as he talked about this matter, he felt like nothing was right with his whole body.

Li Shaoyi also heard some rumors outside.

The Guards Regiment is mainly responsible for Li Shaoyi's safety. Naturally, it is composed of top soldiers and elites drawn from various troops. The troops composed of these people are very powerful. The three regiments have a total of 12,000 people, and all of them have been on the battlefield. However, after they joined the Guards Regiment, they could not go to the battlefield because Li Shaoyi did not go to the battlefield. They could only stay within 10 kilometers around Li Shaoyi.

"Every unit is clamoring to go to the battlefield, and I don't have the ability to send you all. However, the war in Pujiang will gradually expand. Go back and have the brothers prepare. In the next two weeks to a month, one of the three regiments may go there. I'm just saying maybe."

Originally, Captain Jiang was just complaining to Li Shaoyi and didn't expect to go to the battlefield immediately. However, after hearing what Li Shaoyi said, he jumped for joy. It would be okay if a brother from the regiment could go there.

As long as we can get merit on the battlefield, can we still say that we only eat well and don't fight? This is really too harsh. We also came back from the battlefield before. Just ask our brothers in the Guards Regiment, which one has not killed someone?

"I've already told you that you won't necessarily be the one leading the team."

Captain Jiang was happy for less than 5 minutes before he fell from mid-air.

"That's fine too. I don't have to lead the team. The three captains under me are all capable fighters. If we put them on the Pujiang battlefield, it would be like a fish in a sea."

Li Shaoyi was very satisfied with Captain Jiang's attitude. He was not like other officers who only cared about their own affairs.

Wusongkou of Pujiang River

The 15th Division of the Central Army was responsible for defending Wusongkou.

After the Japanese forced landing, the 15th Division suffered more than 60% damage and had retreated 2 kilometers.

At this moment, the 213th Infantry Regiment of the Japanese 11th Division was stationed at Wusongkou.

The Overseas Chinese Volunteer Corps led by Guo Shaoqiu is now organized into the 213th Regiment by the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs due to its name.

"Damn it! I'm from the 213th Regiment, and he's from the 213th Infantry. What right does he have to share the same company number with me?"

After leaving his superiors, Guo Shaoqiu's speech was not so polite. Their army was originally ordered to support Luodian, but the 36th Division could still hold on, so they were given a more dangerous task, which was to recapture Wusongkou and prevent the Japanese army from landing here.

For other troops, this should have been a very difficult task to complete, but after Guo Shaoqiu received the task from the headquarters, he left without saying a word. In addition, the headquarters also assigned them two infantry regiments.

The 17th and 19th Regiments of the Sichuan Army.

The two infantry regiments together had only 3500 people, and some of them didn't even have a gun.

"Captain Guo, this is a reorganized Japanese regiment, a full 3800 men. I heard there are also some deserters nearby, so the total number should be around 5000. The headquarters has given us such a mission, clearly asking us to die."

Fan Ershui, commander of the 17th Regiment, traveled thousands of miles from eastern Sichuan and finally arrived in Pujiang. However, because of his tattered clothes, he was almost mistaken for a beggar. After he finally proved his identity, the headquarters had not assigned them any tasks, so they had to live on the streets of Pujiang for two days.

The 19th Regiment is still on the way. According to the headquarters, it will take at least two days to arrive. However, according to what Guo Shaoqiu learned, each unit will get lost during the process of advancing. After all, the maps of this era are not complete, and coupled with the attacks of the Japanese Air Force, it would be good if they can arrive in two to five days.

"Captain Fan, have you ever fought against the Japanese? Don't jump to conclusions if you haven't. Let's have dinner first, and then take a shower. We have some training uniforms for you guys to change into. Since you're following me during the battle in Pujiang, you must follow my instructions. Tonight, I'll let my men fight for a while, and you can just watch from the sidelines. We'll only enter the battle after everyone has a gun."

Hearing Guo Shaoqiu's words, Captain Fan felt uncomfortable from the bottom of his heart. Isn't she just a Southeast Asian doll? Why is she coming here to give orders to such a powerful person?

However, we also know that the other party has the background of the 72nd Army. This army is also the genuine 72nd Army. They all wear the same uniform as the Junker Officers Corps.

Of course, the most important thing is that they provide food and drink, which is the best thing since arriving in Pujiang. Our brothers have been suffering so much these days, being treated like beggars by the people of Pujiang, and it makes me angry every time I think about it.

Now we not only have food, drink and clothing, but it seems that we will also be provided with a batch of weapons. There are more than 1700 people in the whole regiment, but there are only more than 800 usable rifles. The rest are some hunting rifles and the like. It’s good enough if we don’t get hurt.

As for light and heavy machine guns, they were not even as good as an infantry company of the Central Army, and the number of bullets was even pitifully small.

Guo Shaoqiu also thought about replacing our weapons and equipment, but then he thought better of it. The logistics would not be able to keep up. So he should just defeat the Japanese tonight and give them their equipment.

To others, this plan seemed impossible, but to Guo Shaoqiu, wasn't it a simple matter? If we dispatched 5000 troops and couldn't even seize 1000 Japanese guns, then we might as well just go home and sell roasted sweet potatoes, or even not be allowed to sell roasted sweet potatoes.

Money makes the world the boss. Captain Fan, I won’t say anything else. I’m going to watch how you get me 1000 guns tonight!
