Anti-Japanese War: The whole world is a base vehicle

Chapter 47 There is no coward under the M35 helmet!
"Thank you, thank you so much, Brother Lingyun. I really didn't expect that you would personally lead the troops to support me. If you hadn't come today, I would have died for my country." Li Jingyi looked at Wang Lingyun who came over with excitement on his face. He really didn't expect that Wang Lingyun would be able to dispatch a brigade to reinforce him when he was facing the elite brigade of the Japanese army.

Just for this favor, he will remember it for the rest of his life.

Wang Lingyun waved his hands repeatedly.

"Not really, not really. If it really doesn't work, we can retreat to Gantang first. As long as we hold on to Gantang, the Japanese army won't be able to get beyond our control."

Hearing this, Li Jingyi showed a grateful expression on his face. To be honest, if Wang Lingyun had not come, he did plan to retreat to Gan Tang.

The offensive of the Japanese 18th Division was too fierce. Planes and artillery bombarded us in turns. We are all flesh and blood, how can we withstand it?
I can't bear it at all.

Holding on for three days was already the best he could do.

If the fighting continues, the entire 49th Division will be wiped out.

He would never allow the entire army to be wiped out.

Therefore, if Wang Lingyun had been a step late, he would really have been prepared to order a retreat.

In fact, he did retreat, so he was later included in the list of people to be dismissed and investigated.

"Brother Lingyun, to be honest, I was really planning to retreat to Gantang. The Japanese offensive was too fierce. More than 40% of my division was killed, and Luancheng was simply undefendable." After escaping death, Li Jingyi naturally said a few more words from the heart.

"The Japanese Army's 18th Division is indeed famous." Wang Lingyun nodded. He had a certain understanding of the 18th Division.

In other words, all Chinese soldiers know the name of the 18th Division.

"It's not easy to hold on until now. I didn't expect the Japanese army to be so decisive this time. A Guards Brigade, an 18th Division, more than 20,000 people, for you and me, the pressure is really great."

Hearing this, Li Jingyi couldn't help but nod his head wildly. Finally someone understood him. Then he asked in confusion.

"Brother Lingyun, you personally brought a brigade to support us. What about your position? The combat effectiveness of the Japanese Guards 1st Brigade should be no worse than that of the 18th Division."

"Can your remaining two brigades withstand the Japanese attack? The Japanese cannons and planes are not vegetarians, are they?"

After saying that, he looked at Wang Lingyun with anticipation on his face.

To be honest, he was really curious about how they managed to hold their position.

Who knew that Wang Lingyun was silent for a while, and finally said it with gritted teeth.

"Brother Jingyi, to be honest, the position is not guarded by my troops."

“???” Li Jingyi’s face was full of question marks. What does it mean?
Isn't it you who is guarding it?
Did they send reinforcements?
It shouldn't be.

If there are reinforcements, shouldn't they support your own position?

After all, the situation here is much more dangerous than that on Gan Tang's side, right?
Moreover, he is from the Central Army, so he can be considered as a direct descendant.

You have to give some face.

"In fact, I have lost the Sichai Village position. At the same time, my 226th Brigade also suffered heavy losses and is currently resting." Wang Lingyun thought about it and felt that there was nothing good to hide about this matter, so he just said it directly.

"Then they retreated to the Yamaguchixu position?" Li Jingyi was not surprised, because the combat effectiveness of the Japanese Army's 1st Guards Brigade was undoubtedly very strong.

It was quite normal that the 76th Division could not hold its position.

"Well, the 227th Brigade stationed at Shankouxu almost failed to hold on. They suffered heavy casualties, with a death rate as high as 30%, and almost everyone left was injured." Wang Lingyun sighed.

He was shocked to see more than 714 casualties. If Lu Yuhua had not arrived with the th Garrison Regiment, he would probably have hesitated whether to retreat.

"Ah? Then how did you have the spare energy to support him?" Even Li Jingyi was shocked. With such a huge loss? How could they still support him? For a moment, he even wondered if he had saved the other party before.

But he quickly denied it, saying that he was really not familiar with him before.

At most, you just know that there is such a person.

Looking at Li Jingyi's shocked face, Wang Lingyun knew what he was thinking, so he spoke without waiting for him to continue guessing.

"The 714th Garrison Regiment near Liuzhou is currently stationed at Shankouxu."

“???” Li Jingyi was even more confused now.

Such an important position should be handed over to a garrison regiment?

Are you kidding me?
If the position is lost, Wang Lingyun will have too many heads to chop off.

"Brother Jingyi, before this, I didn't believe that a garrison regiment was so capable of fighting. Facts have proved that they are indeed very capable of fighting, and they haven't requested reinforcements for three days." Wang Lingyun sighed.

"How is this possible?" Li Jingyi looked at the other person with an expression of disbelief, as if asking if this was true?
"I'm sorry, although I don't want to admit it, the fact is true. They did hold out for three days. Otherwise, how could I have the spare capacity to dispatch a brigade to support your unit?" Wang Lingyun spread his hands, indicating that this was the fact, and if you don't believe it, there is nothing I can do.

Li Jingyi was as surprised as if he had seen a ghost, as he had dealt with militia groups like the garrison regiment before.

Needless to say, their combat effectiveness is naturally average, and the quality of their soldiers is even worse. It is common for them to suck the blood of their soldiers and eat the empty salaries.

In terms of weapons and equipment, a regiment probably only has about a hundred rifles, right?

They are all International brands, so I guess they don’t have many bullets.

As a result, you tell me, such a garrison regiment could actually withstand the three-day attack of the elite Japanese brigade?
And no help yet?
Is this possible?

But since Wang Lingyun said so, it means it is true.

After a long time, Li Jingyi asked in a hoarse voice.

"Is this garrison regiment really a garrison regiment?"

Hearing this, Wang Lingyun said with a wry smile.

"It really is a garrison regiment, but with more men and better weapons and equipment."

"What do you mean?"

"There are about 3,000 people, equivalent to a Type B brigade. Their weapons and equipment are all German weapons. Even their uniforms are made in Germany, exactly the same as those of the German army." Wang Lingyun explained helplessly.

"This is impossible, absolutely impossible. The German-equipped division was long gone." Li Jingyi, a graduate of the second artillery class of Whampoa Military Academy, shook his head and rejected it flatly. He thought Wang Lingyun was fooling him.

Everyone knows that after the Battle of Jiangcheng, the German-equipped division became a swan song and no longer exists.

It is impossible for the original German-equipped division to appear now.

Wang Lingyun was not surprised to hear this, because he had the same reaction at that time.

"Brother Jingyi, take a look at the equipment of the guards behind me." As he said that, Wang Lingyun pulled a soldier to let the other person see clearly.

"Is this an M35 helmet? It's not hard to see. The Gui army has quite a few M35 helmets." Li Jingyi was not surprised when he saw the M35 helmet worn by the other party.

"Is this a submachine gun? No, this should be an MP38 submachine gun? Made in Germany?"
