During this period of time, Lu Jie drew two more prizes. He did not know if it was because of the war, but all the prizes he received were weapons. Unfortunately, he did not draw any Bio-Human soldiers. Otherwise, his combat strength would have increased by another level.
They were 80mm mortars, M1 Garland semi-automatic rifles, 40mm Bofors anti-aircraft artillery, Somi submachine guns, 105mm howitzers, and 12.7mm large-caliber anti-tank rifles.
These weapons could be said to have perfected the equipment of the Ferocious Tiger Regiment. The artillery company had also been expanded to an artillery battalion, with an additional 75mm infantry artillery company and a 105mm howitzer company.
This battalion was made up of talents that Lu Jie had exchanged from the 29th Army using the 75mm infantry cannon. The excuse that Global Company had used to exchange this person was to experiment with a new type of cannon and needed artillery.
Song Zheyuan had gone all out this time. He had purchased a total of 50 75mm infantry cannons from Global Arms Company. This was not a small sum.
In addition to the 20 cannons he had, he had a total of 70 cannons. For the artillery of the 29th division, this was an unprecedented power.
There were a total of 20 cannons on this side, and the Japanese attacking forces were caught off guard. It was very stupid to charge under the artillery, so the Japanese army decisively chose to retreat and let the artillery suppress the other side.
The commander of the North China garrison, Katsuki Seiji, heard the report from his subordinates in the headquarters and said without any doubt,"Why did the firepower of the 29th division become so powerful?”
Even their grenade launchers had been bombarded by the enemy's mortars. He felt that the 29th division was not as simple as they seemed.
"Commander, I think this has something to do with Global Arms Company!" said one of the staff officers.”
"Why haven't I heard of it before?" Katsuki asked with a frown.”
The staff officer replied," Commander, this is a newly established arms company with the background of the Third Reich. However, the weapons they sold at the beginning were the Kar98K and Maxim heavy machine gun. If I'm not wrong, these cannons and mortars were sold by them.”
"Baka! These damned westerners secretly contacted us to form an alliance, but now they're stabbing us in the back!”
Seiji Kazuki pondered for a moment before saying,"Reinforce the attack. We must end the battle quickly.”
"Hey!"
The Japanese army began to step up their attacks. The military aircraft sent dozens of fighter planes to bombard various positions. Without air defense weapons, they could only sigh helplessly in the face of air bombardment.
In just a few hours, the soldiers of the 29th division had suffered heavy casualties, and the Lugouqiao camp was in danger.
"The Japanese attack is too fierce. We have a lot of casualties and need reinforcements! We need reinforcements!" The 219th Regiment stationed in Wanping City was requesting help from the 29th Division.
The regiment commander who was commanding from the front line could only shout loudly to hear the rumbling of the cannons outside.
Although the 29th division purchased a lot of 75mm artillery, they were only infantry cannons. The Japanese had a greater advantage in artillery. They had an artillery regiment equipped with dozens of 105mm artillery.
As for the small number of 120mm heavy howitzers, they were equipped with an independent heavy artillery regiment.
Song Zheyuan was also very anxious at this moment. All the battlefronts were in a state of emergency. The Japanese army's attack was very fierce, and they were calling for reinforcements everywhere. However, how could he have so many troops now? It was not so easy to face the attack of more than 60,000 Japanese troops.
At this moment, a staff officer suggested,""Commander, there are still many local security groups in the Pingjin area. Perhaps they can play a certain role!”
When Song Zheyuan heard this, he sighed helplessly and said,"That's the only way. We'll recruit the security team. Since we're Chinese men, we have the responsibility to defend our territory and fight against the Japanese.”
The opportunity that Lu Jie had been waiting for had finally arrived. Now, they had a chance to enter Wanping City and be in charge of a less important position.
Now, he finally had a reason to participate in this battle. When the real war came, Lu Jie's restless heart calmed down.
Standing on the platform, Lu Jie looked at the hundreds of soldiers below. These were the soldiers of the 1st Battalion. Although they were all troops exchanged from the system, they were all living people in Lu Jie's eyes.
They had the same emotions and desires as humans. They also had boiling blood. Today, they were going to the battlefield to face enemies that were dozens of times stronger than them. It was very likely that they would never return.
Lu Jie didn't know what to say, so he saluted them and shouted,""Let's go!"
"Yes, sir!"
"Attention, run!"
As he watched the soldiers carrying M1 Garland semi-automatic rifles heading towards Wanping City, the corners of his eyes suddenly turned sour. He was homesick, but he could never go back.
"Commander, you're crying!" Tanya asked. Are you afraid of losing the war?"
Lu Jie shook his head and said," It's fine. It's just sand in my eyes. We won't lose this war!" Definitely not!"
" We have a great advantage." Tanya nodded." When the troops are trained, it will be their doomsday!"”
