Liu Yu didn't know many people in the Independent Regiment.
However, the soldiers from the Teaching Corps were all good.
Even if the situation was so awkward that the officer did not know the soldier, and the soldier did not know the officer.
However, as the regiment commander, Liu Yu also had to make decisions for his subordinates.
However, Liu Yu knew very well that if the battle continued, there would probably not be many soldiers from the independent regiment who would survive.
After all, the enemies before them were not just a few, but a large group. There were even three complete Regiments.
They had only just landed. Even if Liu Yu had the ability to recruit soldiers at any time, it was still like a mantis trying to stop a chariot in front of the Japanese's 10th Army.
Just as Liu Yu was killing the Japanese one by one, an officer with the rank of major moved to Liu Yu's side and said,
"Regimental Commander, our brothers have suffered heavy losses. Less than half of our forces are left. The fortifications here are simply unable to stop the Japanese's attack.”
This major was Zhang Zifeng, the battalion commander of the 1st Battalion of the Independent Regiment. He was a man from the Luyu area and was from Huangpu 9th Division.
In the entire Independent Regiment, Liu Yu had the deepest impression of him. After all, both of them were from Huangpu.
Before Liu Yu could speak, Zhang Zifeng continued,""Regiment commander, although we are here to change the guards, the brigade has already ordered that once the Japanese Jinshan Guards land, they should not act recklessly.”
Although Liu Yu had just transmigrated, how could he not understand that the Golden Mountain Guards would definitely not be able to hold on.
The main force of the national army in the Battle of Songhu was all tied down by the Japanese in Shanghai. It was impossible for the Jinshan Guards to have reinforcements.
Moreover, the higher-ups did not order them to lose the Golden Mountain Guards. It was completely normal for them to withdraw from the battle.
However, to Tina, knowing was one thing, and what to do was another.
"Go and tell my brothers that although I, Liu Yu, have only been their captain for ten days, I am not afraid of death. I will not force them. I will not be able to repay those who are willing to stay and guard the Golden Mountain Guards with me.
Those who are unwilling to stay can leave the camp at any time. Their retreat order was given by me. They are not deserters.”
Hearing Liu Yu's words, although Zhang Zifeng was a little helpless, he said with a firm face,""Regiment Commander, with your words, we brothers will follow you. Even if we have a big scar on our heads, we will be a group of good men again after 18 years.”
After saying that, Zhang Zifeng left.
The current positions controlled by the Independent Regiment included the frontal position and the two outposts on the left and right wings.
One of them was located at the pagoda port, and there was also a Snake King Hall cannon.
At the three positions, the defending forces of the Independent Regiment added up to only 600 people.
It wasn't that Liu Yu was willing to lead his troops to their deaths, but he knew very well that even if the Golden Mountain Guards couldn't hold on, they had to hold on for as long as possible. At the very least, they had to give the troops behind them enough time to react.
Otherwise, even if they retreated and broke out of the encirclement, they would still be chased by the Japanese like ducks.
When Zhang Zifeng left, an elite infantryman beside Liu Yu was aiming at the enemy. However, he was killed by the Japanese archers below.
This Japanese archer was hiding in a patch of grass by the shore. He was also camouflaged by vegetation.
After killing the guy with a clean shot, the system's voice sounded in Liu Yu's mind.
"Congratulations to the host for completing the main mission and activating the elite artillery recruitment function. When killing or capturing enemies to obtain rewards, there is a chance to obtain elite artillery.”
"A new main mission has been initiated. Please kill 500 enemies. After completing the mission, the reward will be the activation of the map function.”
"Congratulations to the host for killing the enemy. The Unlimited Explosive Soldier System has rewarded the host with 100 elite artillery.”
When Liu Yu heard this, he immediately clicked on the unlimited explosive soldier system interface. In the function of recruiting soldiers, he also saw the option of recruiting artillery.
This option could be used to set the artillery. Elite artillery was a type of military that could use all artillery, including all artillery from World War II to modern times.
As long as the system rewarded him with all the weapons, he would be able to control them perfectly.
Moreover, the quality of the elite artillery was impeccable. Within the effective range of the artillery, they could almost attack wherever they wanted.
Of course, there was still a chance of error.
Similar to summoning elite infantry, the equipment was already there when it was summoned.
Currently, the elite artillery that could be conscripted could only be equipped with an 80mm caliber mortar.
Two artillery personnel to operate a mortar. In other words, by recruiting two artillery personnel, Liu Yu would automatically obtain an 80mm mortar.
Looking at the soldiers that could be recruited, Liu Yu confirmed one thing.
As long as he killed the enemy, he would occasionally be rewarded with the ability to recruit 100 soldiers in one go.
However, if the recruited soldiers killed the enemy, it would basically be two or three. Even if they killed the officers, it would be five.
Liu Yu had already killed 20 Japanese soldiers. However, other than the first and second, and the 20th one that he had just killed, which had a critical hit and rewarded 100 soldiers in one go, the rest were only two or three soldiers.
Liu Yu felt regretful that after killing more than a hundred enemies, no weapons or equipment dropped.
Currently, the number of soldiers he could recruit, including elite infantry and elite artillery, was only about 500.
However, he did not immediately recruit them.
At present, the Japanese's vanguard had already landed on the shore, but because of his own obstruction, the Japanese's attack had been thwarted.
As the two sides fighting on the shore were less than 100 meters away from each other, the Japanese's cannons were unable to provide fire support because they were afraid of hurting their own people.
However, the Japanese Air Force did not have such concerns.
As such, the Japanese's aerial units would come over to provide support at any time. Liu Yu did not want the soldiers he summoned to become the target of the Japanese's aerial units.
