    Li Guoyao¡¯s first feeling is that he has been cheated, and his second feeling is that he has been cheated greatly. Such a task is almost impossible to complete!

    Let¡¯s not talk about whether the troops under his command have the strength to annihilate 100,000 Japanese troops. Even if they do, it is useless because there are not so many independent mixed brigades for them to fight.

    The independent mixed brigade is a special brigade organization of the Japanese army. It is not affiliated with a division and performs independent combat missions. It is mostly a garrison force, equipped with various units such as cavalry, artillery, and engineers, and is equipped with light infantry.  Weapons, for tactical units, more than for mountain combat.

    This kind of organization first appeared in the sixth year of Showa. After the so-called "Wake Lake Incident" broke out, Japan's permanent divisions dispatched their brigades to the Northeast to participate in the war.

    The infantry brigade under normal organization is composed of two infantry regiments. However, in order to meet the needs of independent operations, the brigade sent by the Japanese army to the northeast was assigned various units such as cavalry, artillery, and engineers, and was "mixed into a brigade."  "The temporary division dispatch unit appeared on the Chinese battlefield.

    After the Battle of the Great Wall came to an end in 1935, the 1st Independent Mixed Brigade and the 11th Independent Mixed Brigade were dispatched to the Chinese battlefield as formally established small divisions.

    After the "Marco Bridge Incident", in order to cope with the expansion of the mainland front, the Japanese army gradually formed a number of independent mixed brigades to cope with the security and preparation work in the occupied areas.

    The independent mixed brigade formed at this time basically consisted of the brigade headquarters, 5 independent infantry brigades, brigade artillery team, brigade engineering team, brigade communications team and other units. The total strength was about 5,000 people, but no matter where it was,  The firepower, mobility and depot capabilities are all quite inferior, and they are purely focused on static defense tasks.

    So far, there are only 5 independent mixed brigades on the Chinese battlefield, and they are all located in North China!

    This will cause trouble. If Li Guoyao wants to complete this bizarre mission, he must eliminate these independent brigades. But now his troops are in central China, while the Japanese independent brigades are located in North China. Therefore, if he wants to complete the mission, he must  Must go to the North China battlefield.

    But the problem is that the national army is retreating steadily in the North China battlefield, and the main force is rapidly retreating south. Even the troops near Xuzhou will retreat quickly in the next more than a month, and Xuzhou falls.

    Therefore, no matter what reason Li Guoyao applies for at this time, Wuhan will not allow them to go north to North China.

    The most important thing is that it is already mid-April 1938. The Japanese army has now captured many important towns along the Yangtze River. The trend of attacking Wuhan is very obvious, and the Battle of Wuhan will break out in June.

    By then, whether Li Guoyao is willing or not, his troops may be transferred to Wuhan to participate in this battle. As a result, it is still unclear when this bizarre task will be completed.

    Fortunately, Li Guoyao just took the time to look at it. This mission is a long-term mission, and the completion deadline is actually two years. In other words, from now on, as long as he can meet the mission requirements by the end of April 1940, then the mission will be completed.  .

    Of course, the rewards for such a demanding task are also very awesome. The direct reward system points are a full 100,000 points, and there is also a chance for the system to revive.

    It was then that Li Guoyao realized that this bullshit system was actually divided into levels, from low to high, divided into elementary, intermediate and advanced levels. At this time, the level was obviously elementary, and if he wanted to advance, he had to complete such a weird and demanding task.

    As for the punishment after failing to complete it, it is not very harsh. It is just that you can only pee for a year, and all other functions are restricted!

    Compared with generous rewards, such punishment is completely acceptable!

    Except for the sudden triggering of this strange mission, which was a bit annoying, other things were pretty good. In addition to the upgrade of the troops and his promotion to lieutenant general, Li Guoyao also received a reward of 20,000 system points and a lottery opportunity due to the upgrade of the troops.

    Counting the rewards accumulated previously, Li Guoyao now has four more lottery opportunities. In addition, his system points have also returned to more than 120,000 points. This battle can be regarded as barely getting back the money.

    Moreover, with the direct intervention of the Nationalist Government, starting from April 17, the Central News Agency, Ta Kung Pao, Shen Shen, the British Times, the Soviet Union's Pravda, and the American Wall Street Post reported on the glory of the 7th Division in Bengbu.  Achievements.

    With the reports in these newspapers, news about the Bengbu victory was also reported by newspapers and media across the country and even around the world. Although many people praised and applauded the Seventh Division, it also attracted a lot of doubts.

    Mainly because many people are concerned about the war of the national armyI don¡¯t trust the military force very much, and the number of 30,000 enemies wiped out is really unbelievable. If the Battle of Songhu or the Battle of Taierzhuang had such results, everyone wouldn¡¯t be so surprised, but everyone has heard of the Battle of Bengbu.  There is only one temporary seventh division.

    Moreover, the report of the Nationalist Government mainly focused on the 7th Division, and no other troops were reported. In other words, the 7th Division not only withstood the siege of the Japanese army of 50,000 troops, but also annihilated three enemy units.  Ten thousand.

    No matter how you listen to this, you may feel that this is nonsense. It is completely impossible. If China has such a powerful army, it will still be afraid of the little devils, and the little devils will not even dare to invade China at all.

    You must know that at the beginning of the war, the total strength of the Japanese army was only about 250,000. A miscellaneous division of the national army can defeat 50,000. If the Japanese devils dare to invade China under such circumstances, it can only be said that they  It's really tiring to go up and down.

    However, the result was that the Japanese army defeated China at the beginning of the war. North China, central China, and parts of northwest China fell one after another. Shanghai, Peiping, Tianjin, Baotou, Guisui, Taiyuan, and Nanjing were captured one after another by the Japanese army.  , Facts have proved that the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army is just that.

    Of course, doubts are doubts. Reports from the Nationalist Government revealed many photos. In addition to scenes of Japanese corpses strewn across the fields, there were also a large number of Japanese trophies.

    Including the mountains of Japanese weapons and equipment, whether it is the Type 38 rifle, the Type 92 heavy machine gun, or the Type 41 mountain cannon, it cannot be faked. The weapons and equipment shown in the photos alone are enough to arm a first-class division.

    In addition, there are personal belongings of Shigeto Chiaki, the leader of the Japanese army's Shigeto detachment, including the command sword given by the emperor. These things cannot be faked.

    So many people have clearly seen the reality, that is, the number of enemies annihilated in this victory reported by major newspapers may not be that many, maybe 10,000 or 20,000, but the victory itself should not be fake.

    In addition, the Nationalist Government also publicly disclosed that in this battle, the 7th Division not only severely damaged the Japanese 9th Division and 13th Division, but also annihilated all the remnants of the 101st Division that had previously slipped through the net. In addition, it also annihilated the Chongteng detachment and the company captain.  Shigeto Chiaki was also killed.

    However, because the weather is now very hot, Chiaki Shigeto¡¯s body was not sent to Wuhan for public display, but was buried on the spot.

    In short, with the publicity of the National Government, the Bengbu victory, Li Guoyao, and the 7th Infantry Division became popular words among the people in a short period of time. Whether it was the Kuomintang-controlled area or the occupied area, whether it was the streets or the elegant palaces, they were mentioned frequently.

    "It's just that people who mentioned this matter had different moods. Some were happy, some were worried, and some even gnashed their teeth and wanted to eat Li Guoyao alive!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
