Anti-Japanese War: When I get promoted, the system will explode with soldiers

"I've asked for this position for you. So many people have come from the north, but I've never asked for one. You're the first one. Old Wu knows the Pujiang battlefield better. You two need to cooperate with each other and replenish the various troops."

Various weapons and equipment filled up the major warehouses, but how to distribute them required a capable person. Some armies were not reliable at this time, and there were many cases of people lying about military intelligence to obtain arms.

Li Shaoyi believed that the combination of Hu Dezhuo and Wu Zhenlei could cope with the situation on the Pujiang battlefield.

"Don't worry, Marshal. I, Old Hu, am not just sitting there doing nothing but eating. If these people fight the Japanese well, they will need all kinds of supplies. But if they want to take advantage of us, I, Old Hu, will not give them away for free."

Hu Dezhuo said very confidently that this guy did deal with some irregular behaviors when he was in the rear.

Although these eyes cannot be said to be piercing and golden, if you want to do something under his command, your skills must be high enough.

"This is a new donation from overseas Chinese, approximately 40 million dollars. Publicize it in the newspapers and name those who should be mentioned. This war urgently needs the help of overseas Chinese."

Li Shaoyi took out another letter from his pocket.

During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, donations from overseas Chinese were always considerable. Li Shaoyi remembered that the Chinese in Malaysia alone donated 450 million oceans.

Now that Li Shaoyi has stationed troops in Southeast Asia, there are even more people donating money. Of course, 90% of the donations go into the pockets of the 72nd Army. Using this money to support the Pujiang battlefield does not count as spending Li Shaoyi's money.

"Report, the commander of the 1st Artillery Division, Gui Pingzhi, reports to the Marshal."

While the three were talking, a young officer came over from a distance. When they heard the title, smiles appeared on their faces. Li Shaoyi had carefully studied the Battle of Shanghai. The biggest difference between us and the Japanese is in artillery.

"Who was it? It turned out to be our big gun. Before you came here, when you were training in Chahar, you fired all 6,000 of my shells in one day. Have all the troops arrived yet? You must pay me back all the money you spent on the battlefield today, or I'll dock your wages."

When Hu Dezhu saw Gui Pingzhi, he immediately felt uneasy because the artillery division's expenses were too high.

Of course, there is no way around this. In addition to a guard regiment, the artillery division's other troops are three artillery regiments, an armored regiment, and a transport regiment, all of which are fully mechanized.

Each artillery regiment consists of two artillery battalions and two heavy artillery battalions.

Each artillery battalion has twelve 75mm infantry guns and twenty-four 100mm mortars.

Each heavy artillery battalion has twelve 105mm howitzers, twelve 120mm mortars, and six 155mm howitzers.

Each artillery regiment has 132 light and heavy artillery pieces.

The entire artillery division has nearly 400 artillery pieces, not to mention the armored regiment's more than 40 tanks and more than 70 armored vehicles.

So if the entire artillery division moves a little, the fuel alone will cost a lot of money.

Tanks and armored vehicles were running rampant on the battlefield, beating the Japanese so hard that they had no idea where to go. But once the tank engines started, the oil burned like a faucet that couldn't be turned off.

In other words, Li Shaoyi has a system that allows him to draw out strategic resources. Otherwise, he would have gone bankrupt long ago relying solely on this method.

"Director Hu, you'll have to change your stingy habits after you arrive in Pujiang. Our artillery will fire from now on, and every shell will definitely land on the heads of the Japanese. According to our commander-in-chief, at least one shell must kill one Japanese soldier."

Gui Pingzhi said with a smile that he knew that Li Shaoyi would definitely mobilize troops from the rear after he became the commander-in-chief of the Pujiang War Zone, but he did not expect that he would mobilize his own troops first.

"Alright, alright, stop messing around here, you two. Let's talk about it after the battle. How many people have arrived?"

Li Shaoyi required that all personnel of the 1st Artillery Division must arrive in Pujiang before tonight. Even if they had to be transferred through Jinling, they had to arrive in Pujiang before tonight. As for the 1st Artillery Division, all other equipment would be left in Chahar, and there were brand new equipment in Pujiang.

"Reporting to the Marshal, half of the troops have already arrived in Pujiang. The rest will arrive in Pujiang before 7 o'clock tonight."

When saying this, Gui Pingzhi still felt a little uncomfortable, mainly because he was used to driving on the ground, and this was his first time on a plane. Not only him, but also some of his brothers were still feeling dizzy.

"Almost done. Your weapons and equipment are all in the third warehouse. I'll have Old Hu write a note and take this half of the team to get the equipment out first. Also, you don't have any combat missions tonight, so get some rest. The entire Pujiang War Zone will launch its offensive at 9:00 AM tomorrow. Your First Artillery Division will provide artillery cover for the entire army. It's a heavy responsibility."

More than 400 artillery pieces of various sizes sounds like a large number, but on such a huge battlefield in the Pujiang War Zone, the 1st Artillery Division seems a bit inadequate. However, Li Shaoyi also has to use the 1st Artillery Division to test Japan's strength first.

The Second Artillery Division was also ready on the rear battlefield. Li Shaoyi thought that if the First Artillery Division could hold the ground, we would not bring the Second Artillery Division up first.

There are a total of five artillery divisions in the Chahar base in the north. After careful calculation, according to what the chief of staff said, Li Shaoyi can use a maximum of two artillery divisions, and the rest will be used to defend against Luosha on the northern border.

Ma Leizi has formed four artillery divisions, but the importance of the island city is no joke. If the troops in the island city are mobilized in one fell swoop and the Japanese navy takes advantage of it, Li Shaoyi will suffer a great loss.

"Please rest assured, Marshal. Our brothers' hands are calloused from training in the north. We are here to fight the Japanese today. There are so many of them now, and we have plenty of ammunition. You can shoot wherever you point. If you can't take them down, shoot me."

Gui Pingzhi still had some underworld habits. His subordinates were basically the same as his division commander. When they heard that they could come to Pujiang to fight the Japanese, they were extremely enthusiastic. It was said that some soldiers were going to get married next week, but they bid farewell to their fiancées and followed the team to Pujiang to fight the Japanese, and they said that they would go home and get married after winning the battle.

Li Shaoyi originally wanted to mobilize an armored division, but Jiangnan is densely networked with rivers, and the armored division might not be able to demonstrate its full capabilities here...
