Chapter 407 Actively Prepare for War
"Battle over. The host has killed a total of 7663 enemy soldiers, including one Japanese lieutenant general, one Japanese major general, three Japanese colonels, five Japanese lieutenant colonels, and seven Japanese majors. Total points earned: 637840."
The host has achieved 75000 kills, and the reward is 30 standard version Katyusha rocket launchers.
2 p.m.
Bai Luo, who had returned to the Er City Command Headquarters, looked at the points he had earned this time in his mind.
At first, he was delighted, but then he sighed.
He earned quite a few points this time, but he'll have to spend them soon.
Because he had previously promised Jiang Qing and Zhang Qing that after capturing Ershi, he would replace all the equipment of the New First Division and the War Bear Division with new equipment.
The retired equipment also found a place to go, because Zhang Qing started to expand his army again, as evidenced by the huge commotion in the east of the city that morning.
Ordinary people aren't fools.
After Zhang Qing and his group finished dealing with the remaining debris on the wasteland, they had just returned to Ershi when they were surrounded by hundreds of thousands of Ershi residents demanding that they join the army to fight the Japanese.
Zhang Qing, Jiang Qing, and others naturally accepted all comers and began recruiting soldiers right at the city gate.
I heard that nearly 1 people have already signed up.
This is still the reason why the two of them were so picky.
However, the arrival of these 30 Katyusha rocket launchers was very timely.
Because most of the troops under their command are now light infantry.
Bai Luo decided to grit his teeth and convert three regiments in the New First Division into artillery regiments, while the remaining two regiments would be broken up and incorporated into them to form a reconnaissance battalion, an anti-aircraft machine gun battalion, and a logistics brigade.
This was intended to prepare for the upcoming major battle.
While Bai Luo was still planning how to exchange for equipment...
The door to his room was pushed open.
The person who came was Bai Luo's aunt, Bai Xiumei.
Bai Xiumei, looking travel-worn, closed the door behind her as she entered, then quickly walked to Bai Luo's side and whispered something.
"Little Radish, how could you... kill all the prisoners!"
Bai Xiumei paused for a moment, realizing that since things had already happened, blaming Bai Luo now would only be hindsight.
Taking two deep breaths to suppress the urge to twist Bai Luo's ears and spank her, Bai Xiumei continued.
"This news can't be kept secret any longer. You need to step up your preparations now. The Japanese soldiers in the northern province will definitely retaliate fiercely once they receive this news."
Bai Luo felt a warmth in her heart when she saw Bai Xiumei's anxious expression.
Knowing that her aunt was concerned about her, she quickly went over and pulled Bai Xiumei, who had come all this way, to sit on the sofa.
She deftly handed him a glass of water.
"Auntie, don't worry. Since we dared to do this, we expected the Japanese to react after they found out. Besides, the snow outside is so deep right now, the Japanese can't mobilize too many troops to get here in a short time."
And you should have seen the scene outside when you came here. All the people of Erdos are actively helping us prepare for the war!
Bellena's side is also continuously sending supplies over.
Bai Xiumei paused upon hearing this, as she had been so focused on rushing to Bai Luo's location.
She didn't pay much attention to her surroundings, but she did notice that the people in the city were indeed carrying tools and seemed to be busy dismantling houses and moving wood.
At first, she thought they were repairing the house, but after hearing what Bai Luo said, Bai Xiumei realized that they probably weren't repairing the house outside.
The truth is that the entire population of Ershi is currently demolishing houses to build city walls, digging trenches, and constructing bunkers.
Those with money contributed money, and those with strength contributed strength.
Having suffered so much at the hands of the Japanese soldiers, they would rather fight to the death with the Japanese than go back to being treated like animals by them.
"Oh, you, you're such a worry for your aunt."
Knowing that Bai Luo was prepared, Bai Xiumei breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at the delicate and fair face in front of her, Bai Xiumei couldn't help but pinch it.
Said with a smile.
"Since you've thought this through, little radish, I can't let you call me aunt for nothing. I'll contact the Red Party headquarters now."
As Bai Xiumei finished speaking, she gave Bai Luo's little face a hard squeeze.
Looking at that fair and delicate face, Bai Xiumei suddenly spoke to Bai Luo with a serious expression.
"Little Radish, thank you. Your aunt is so proud of you."
After saying this, Bai Xiumei quickly walked out of Bai Luo's room.
Bai Luo watched her aunt's retreating figure, a smile playing on her lips.
On the third day after the snow stopped, the news that Er City had been captured had swept across the entire northern province like a blizzard.
This news was like a depth charge, instantly sending shockwaves through the entire northern province.
Especially the Japanese in the northern provinces.
Upon receiving this intelligence, the Japanese soldiers felt as if they had been struck on the head by a sledgehammer costing 80 cents.
My head was buzzing.
Ershi, that's one of their most important places in the North Province, but after a blizzard, it was taken over by someone else.
This made the Japanese soldiers somewhat hesitant to believe the news was true.
After sending people to investigate many times, they finally confirmed the news. At the same time, they also found out that all the Imperial soldiers captured in Er City were suspected to have been killed.
This news even alarmed the Japanese headquarters in Japan.
Upon receiving this intelligence, the Japanese soldier Tianhuang was so angry that he almost fainted.
After regaining his senses, he immediately convened all the top military officials to discuss countermeasures.
But the meeting lasted less than two hours before an order directly issued by the Japanese commander-in-chief was telegraphed to all the commanders of the northern provinces.
Upon receiving the order, the Japanese soldiers in the northern province were fully mobilized.
Their target was none other than Er City, which had just been occupied by Bai Luo for four days.
8: am.
Bai Luo, who was fighting with Sha Niu and the others for food, saw Zhang Qing hurriedly walk into the house.
As soon as he entered, Zhang Qing hurriedly called out to Bai Luo, who had a large meat bun stuffed in his mouth.
"Xiao Luo, the latest news is that the Japanese soldiers in the northern province have started moving and are heading this way."
The Japanese forces comprised approximately three infantry regiments and one tank regiment, totaling over 15000 men.
As Bai Luo listened to Zhang Qing recount the intelligence, he moved a chair over to Zhang Qing, gesturing for him to sit down.
After listening to Zhang Qing's account, Bai Luo finally spoke.
"How well are the soldiers adapting to the new weapons?"
Upon hearing Bai Luo mention this, Zhang Qing's lingering worries instantly subsided by half.
Said with a smile.
"They've adapted very well, and with the addition of the War Bear Division's artillery regiment, all four city gates are now heavily defended by artillery. Moreover, supplies from Bellena's side are being transported here non-stop."
The production line for artillery shells and bullets was also transported to Erdos City at around 4 a.m. today.
The Xiong Guo engineers who came with the equipment have already started assembling it in the factory we selected, and it is expected to be put into production in two days.
Also, many more people have come from outside the city to seek refuge in Er City, but I'm afraid there might be spies among them, so I've temporarily closed the city gates and persuaded them to turn back.
Furthermore, the Xiong Kingdom has already officially engaged in combat with the Japanese troops at the northern province fortress. According to Belena, they are advancing at a rate of 30 kilometers per day.
The Japanese troops were no match for their tank divisions and were suffering a complete rout.
Zhang Qing talked for half an hour, and Bai Luo got a general understanding of the current situation.
It is now confirmed that everything in Ershi is back on track, and the troops have entered their respective positions.
They were just waiting for the Japanese soldiers to come to their door. As for why they didn't leave the city to intercept them, it was because his aunt had taken on the task.
Bai Xiumei told him to focus on arranging the defenses of Ershi and leave the task of slowing down the Japanese advance to them.
Hearing this, Bai Luo breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that his more than 100 million points had not been wasted.
Bai Luo equipped the Zhanxiong Division and the New First Division with Type 56 semi-automatic rifles.
After all, they still rely on the support of the Bear Kingdom for their current ammunition.
The Type 56 semi-automatic rifle can ensure that soldiers have sufficient firepower while avoiding the waste of ammunition.
Then the cannons exchanged for the three artillery regiments were the same 2A36-152mm field guns that he was currently using.
A total of 90 guns were exchanged, and the rest were replenished with Japanese infantry guns.
Bai Luo then handed over the 30 Katyusha rocket launchers to the New 9th Army.
As a mobile force, it can provide support at any time.
With this wave of equipment upgrades, Bai Luo lost two-thirds of his points.
Having spent nearly 130 million points, Bai Luo now has less than 60 points left.
