Bright Sword Military System

The final result was that out of the 400-plus people from the three brigades that entered the city, only [-] people escaped alive. This is the result of Hayashi Yoshitaro desperately using artillery fire to provide fire cover for the troops...

Under normal circumstances, Hayashi Yoshitaro was unable to cover the troops with artillery fire after the devils invaded the city. Artillery fire directed to the correct area for bombing without accidentally injuring friendly forces.

but……

Hayashi Yoshitaro made some calculations like this: If the fighting continues like this, the troops outside the city will not be able to enter the rescue, so it is better to take a risk and have some hope.

So, Hayashi Yoshitaro almost gritted his teeth and ordered: "Fire! Aim at the city wall and cover the troops to retreat!"

The Devil Artillery almost blasted out a retreat for the trapped troops with shells. They carried out indiscriminate carpet bombing on the city wall, and plowed back and forth twice before suppressing the intersections deployed by the Eighth Route Army on both sides of the gap. firepower.

The so-called "suppression" refers to the fact that the soldiers stationed at the original firepower point were blown up and sacrificed, and the soldiers and firepower to be replenished were temporarily unable to increase due to artillery fire.

The devils took advantage of this gap to pull the remaining troops back from the city.

Even so, the devils still suffered heavy casualties, and they withdrew only after the devils abandoned their wounded soldiers... It is common for devils to abandon their wounded soldiers. They are cruel to the enemy and their own people. Simply put, it is like The beasts who only talk about survival, the wounded are a burden to them, and they may take them with them if they have the conditions. Otherwise, they will give the wounded a grenade or explosive package, which is called "jade broken". ".

Then the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army saw that when they followed the devils and chased them out, they found that the wounded soldiers shouted one by one and pulled the fuses of the grenades and explosives...

This successfully prevented the Eighth Route Army from chasing and killing, but it also saved the Eighth Route Army some troubles, and they didn't have to accept any more prisoners.

After this battle, the Eighth Route Army only captured seven prisoners, which also shows the cruelty of this battle.

After this battle, the Eighth Route Army has stabilized the hearts of the soldiers and the people, especially the hearts of the people... At first they thought that the Eighth Route Army would definitely not be able to defeat the devils, so they were always hesitating and in deep fear.

No wonder people think so.

I still vividly remember the fact that the devils only needed a few cavalry to occupy a city before. Although it was a stubborn army that did not live up to expectations, the devils were [-] to [-] or even [-] to [-] against the Eighth Route Army!
Based on this ratio, the devils should only need about 2000 people to capture Datong.

But now the Devils have a division of more than 1 people. Isn't it as easy as eating melons and cutting vegetables to win Datong?
If the devils are sure to win Datong, will the Eighth Route Army attack the devils together, will they be retaliated wildly by the devils?

As a result, there were more than 1000 people in Datong, and there were only more than [-] civilians who helped the Eighth Route Army carry the wounded and transport supplies.

The reason why these more than 1000 people helped the Eighth Route Army was that they were determined to die. They saw this part very clearly. While helping the Eighth Route Army, they yelled at the people who were hiding in their houses and dared not move along the way. :...

"Folks! They are all dead anyway, why don't you die with your back straight?"

"Aren't the devils entering the city to kill and kill? There is only one way to survive, and help the Eighth Route Army defend Datong!"

"Even if I die, I have to fight a few devils to make up for it! Let's fight!"

……

But those who have the courage to think this way are rare after all. Although everyone understands the truth, when it comes time to make a life-or-death decision, more people would rather hide in the house and tremble. Their legs are so weak that they can't even stand on the road. Can you still expect them to go out of the house to help the Eighth Route Army?
However, after the Eighth Route Army repelled a wave of attacks by the devils, it temporarily gave the people a reassurance.

In particular, some militiamen personally participated in the siege of the devils. They knew how many people were killed and injured by the devils and quickly spread the news in the city.

As soon as the people heard this, they began to discuss in private:
"It seems that this matter is not quite right?"

"Yes, the Eighth Route Army killed more than 3000 devils in this battle. This is not a minority..."
"Based on this calculation, if the Eighth Route Army fights two more battles like this, will they wipe out all the devils?"

……

Common people often use such simple thinking to calculate the casualty ratio. Of course, they don't know that the war is far less simple than they imagined.

But this is also good, the people have confidence, and more and more people go out to help the Eighth Route Army.

More than 1000 people soon rose to more than 2000, and soon doubled again.

Those who sent water, food, and ammunition, helped take care of the wounded, helped prepare supplies, etc., so that the Eighth Route Army basically had no worries.

To be exact, not only do they not have any worries, but immediately, more people want to join the militia and fight against the devils directly.

Before, only more than 1000 militiamen were organized. If this is calculated according to the ratio, how can five or six thousand militiamen be recruited out of 10,000+ people...

The recruitment ratio in peacetime can usually reach five to one, that is, one in five people is of age to join the army.

But during the war, especially in the devil-occupied areas, it was difficult to pick out a young man out of ten or even twenty.

However, 10,000 to 6000 people out of [-]+ people are nearly [-] to [-], which is not a problem.

The reason why there are only one thousand militiamen and some of these militiamen are lesbians and older people is the same sentence: the people have concerns. They worry that the Eighth Route Army will stay in Datong soon, and the devils will come after the Eighth Route Army. Well, if anyone joins the Eighth Route Army... the whole family, including neighbors, will suffer.

This is also the strength of the devil's Baojia system. The fear and worries of the people are not so easy to let go, which makes it difficult for the Eighth Route Army to get help from the people.

As a result, the Eighth Route Army seized a large number of guns and ammunition in the Datong warehouse, but they couldn't send them out.

It's different now. The people were stimulated by the Eighth Route Army's battle, and they all asked to join the militia and fight the devils together with the Eighth Route Army.

Among them are many old men and young people who have not yet reached their age.

Zhao Gang didn't allow them to join the army at first, but the people said to Zhao Gang: "Political commissar, if we can't stop the devil, the devil will enter the city and kill us all. They are all dead anyway. Why don't we let us take up guns?" What about resistance?"

Zhao Gang fell silent as soon as he heard this, so he nodded in agreement.
