War of Resistance: The Truth Is, My Supplies Are Unlimited

[War of Resistance + System-based + Ruthless + Hard-core warfare + Mass recruitment]

Lu Ming wakes up to find himself transmigrated into the body of a lone company commander on the Songhu battlefield.

An entire Japanese company is right in front of him, and behind him are a dozen routed soldiers on the verge of tears. A System prompt appears in his mind: [People's War System activated. Beginner mission: Hold the position until nightfall.]

Well, they really are throwing me into the deep end from the start, huh?

Bring it on.

Day One: Hold the village entrance at all costs. Run the first Japanese soldier through with a bayonet, and the whole unit's defense increases by 15%.

Day Two: Raid a Japanese brick kiln used as an ammunition depot at night and burn tens of thousands of bullets.

Day Three: The System unlocks [Universal Conscription]. While defending, allied troops' shooting accuracy soars. Wang Dabiao plants himself on the front line with his Bren gun for two straight days and nights. Zhao Shitou kills 415 enemies with a Mauser 98k, until there's no room left to carve another tally mark into the stock.

The Japanese regimental commander reads the battle report and questions his sanity: How many men are on the other side?!

By the time they withdraw from Luodian, only 81 soldiers remain in the Independent Company, each having killed more than ten enemies.

On the eve of Nanjing's fall, Lu Ming is promoted to lieutenant colonel, and only 57 men remain in the company. Outside the city are 100,000 Japanese troops. Inside, an order to retreat.

System: [Main mission updated: Witness the Nanjing tragedy and preserve the core forces.]

Lu Ming calls Chen Rui, Wang Dabiao, and Zhao Shitou over. “We can't hold the city, but our spark must not be extinguished. We'll break through with me before dawn.”

[Ding! Confirm mission execution?]

[Yes.]
