Every inch of territory costs an inch of blood; one hundred thousand young men become one hundred thousand soldiers.
Yun Qing woke up to find that he had transmigrated to the Songhu battlefield and become one of the Sichuan Army's straw-sandal-clad soldiers. Thus began his fight against the Japanese.
In this battle, the Hunan Army, the Wolf Soldiers, the Sichuan Army, the Guangdong Army, the Guizhou Army... all rushed to the front, one after another.
In this battle, a million elite troops were wiped out. Fourteen generals died in combat, thousands of officers were killed, and the Central Navy was completely annihilated.
Three hundred thousand sons of China shed their blood along the Huangpu River, and every lower- and mid-ranking Huangpu graduate died in battle.
In this battle, an entire division was wiped out in less than a day.
In this battle, the Hunan Army sent all its forces, fifteen divisions, and was almost completely wiped out. Its designation was eventually revoked, and after this battle, the Hunan Army was no more.
In this battle, seven divisions of the Guangxi Army's Wolf Soldiers marched thousands of miles to reinforce the front. In the end, sixty thousand Wolf Soldiers went to war, and more than fifty thousand died.
In this battle, eight Sichuan Army divisions marched thousands of miles in a single pair of straw sandals. After seven days and nights of bloody fighting, every Sichuan Army officer of rank lieutenant or higher had been killed, and the soldiers had suffered near-total losses.
In this battle, the Guangdong Army sent six divisions. Fifty thousand Guangdong soldiers stood their ground against ninety thousand enemies and fought them for thirty-two days, until their forces were exhausted. Over the course of several years, the Guangdong Army, made up of Hakka sons, sent nine hundred thousand troops to war. In the end, only three hundred returned home.
Before the Sichuan Army had even left, the Guangdong Army was already gone.
This was also Yun Qing's first battle to defend his homeland and protect his country!
The rise and fall of a nation is the responsibility of every citizen!
May you and I never forget this chapter of history.
