Chief of Staff Nakamura was preparing to hold a meeting to deal with Li Shaoyi's next move, but he didn't expect that this guy had already started while everyone was preparing.

There was a chaos in the expeditionary force headquarters in Tianjin. They thought that Kato's group could buy them half a month to a month, but they didn't expect to be wiped out so quickly.

In many people's minds, even if the Kato group was destroyed, Li Shaoyi should at least celebrate. Who knew that he didn't even waste a day and immediately sent people to attack Yunmi County.

Pingchang County, which is closer to Peking...

"How's things going in Pingchang County?"

Chief of Staff Nakamura finally came to his senses.

"All personnel had fled hours ago."

When Chief of Staff Nakamura heard this, he felt dizzy. If he guessed correctly, Li Shaoyi had directly taken over three counties this time.

"Don't they have two regiments in Pingchang County?"

Chief of Staff Nakamura said angrily that Pingchang County was the place closest to Peking, and it took them a long time to take it. If they really wanted to occupy Peking, Pingchang County would be a frontier position, but now it has been lost. Thinking about the efforts they made to take over Pingchang County, the chief of staff now wants to pull out a gun and kill people.

"Reporting to His Excellency the Chief of Staff, the two regiments in Pingchang County actually have less than 900 people. We have been deceived by them all the time."

The combat staff officer said cautiously that in order to buy off these traitors, they usually turned a blind eye to their every move, but they did not expect these people to be so excessive. The two regiments had a staff of nearly 3,000 people, but the actual number of people was less than 900.

Most of these nine hundred people are related to each other. If you expect them to confront Li Shaoyi's men head-on, you might as well expect Li Shaoyi to fall into the well on his own.

"Put together the information. I will go and see Commander Yamamoto immediately."

Nakamura Kumaji knew that this matter was not something he could solve, and Commander Yamamoto probably couldn't solve it either, but at least there was someone big to hold up the sky if it fell.

Three county towns were lost overnight, including the most important one in the autonomous government. Pingchang County was second only to Beijing and Tianjin in Japan's North China strategy. Now, without any warning, it was occupied by a group of police led by Li Shaoyi. Many people may die this time.

"Damn it! These bastards must pay for what they've done. Immediately execute the two garrison commanders and the three county heads..."

When the new commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force, Yamamoto Ikki, heard about it, he immediately issued this order.

"Commander, the most important thing right now is not this, but what should we do next?"

Five minutes later, after Commander Yamamoto had a good tantrum, Chief of Staff Nakamura stood up and said, "Although this matter is hard to accept, what we have to do now is to come up with a plan. If there is no new plan, Li Shaoyi's blade will continue to move eastward."

"You will personally serve as their chief of staff. You must establish a new line of defense from Jiangjunguan to Xianghe. I've long known they are useless, and I've already formed a new army in Tianjin. It's about 2,000 people. They are all retired soldiers recruited from the Northeast. They will be deployed in small teams among these Chinese troops. If you find anyone retreating, kill them first."

Commander Yamamoto had long known that these Japanese troops were unreliable. No matter how much money was invested in them or how many training instructors they had, their combat effectiveness was still not strong. So when Li Shaoyi attacked Tongzhou last time, they recruited an informal army in the Northeast and let them serve as the supervisory team.

At present, the autonomous government can mobilize seven regiments with more than 10,000 troops. Together with these more than 2,000 Japanese soldiers, a total of 16,000 people will be mobilized to defend the line from Jiangjun Pass to Xianghe. Li Shaoyi's army must not be allowed to continue to move eastward.

"Hayi..."

Chief of Staff Nakamura was also encouraged after hearing this. They were finally going to take over the military of the autonomous government. Previously, in order to avoid suspicion, we let the people of the autonomous government take charge themselves. We only sent some military instructors. As a result, we spent a lot of money, and they handed in such an answer.

Now because of Li Shaoyi's attack, the higher-ups can no longer care about so many things. We must take the command of these troops into our hands. Otherwise, Li Shaoyi will continue to move eastward and reach Tianjin in a few days. The empire's twenty years of efforts in North China may be destroyed today.

Li Shaoyi captured three counties in one day, leaving the bigwigs in Peking and Jinling dumbfounded.

In the past, the autonomous government announced that their combat capabilities were extremely strong, and it was even published in newspapers. At least they did a lot of face-saving work. The full set of Japanese equipment, coupled with Japanese instructors, made the 29th Army a little afraid of them.

But no one expected that their fighting power was so ineffective. Li Shaoyi only sent out less than 400 people in total, and they captured three counties in one day. This really shocked the whole country.

"God bless China, the martial arts champion has come down to earth"

"My mighty general, Li Shaoyi, conquered three counties in one day..."

"The tomb of the traitor, the divine general Li Shaoyi."

Newspapers everywhere also knew that this was a selling point, and all kinds of headlines immediately appeared.

The storytellers in Peking were even more excited, almost deifying Li Shaoyi, claiming that Li Shaoyi could turn beans into soldiers, and with one command, three counties were restored.

The folk rumors are even more powerful. Even if our General Li urinates outside, the Japanese will retreat three hundred miles when they smell the urine.

When Li Shaoyi heard this rumor, he rolled his eyes. "Am I a tiger? Using urine to mark your territory? If that really works, I'll buy a boat ticket to mainland Japan right away."

A group of people gathered in Li Shaoyi's temporary command center, talking about the rumors outside. Initially, they did not believe them, but when the rumors became more and more common, some people came to the headquarters to report, and they began to look at Li Shaoyi more carefully. Did he really have hidden horns on his head, and would he turn into a dragon when encountering wind and clouds?

Li Shaoyi gave these people a fierce look and raised his middle finger, but they didn't understand what it meant.

Li Shaoyi was naturally aware of the outside flattery and the people's enthusiasm. This was mainly because there had been too few heroes in recent years. The Chinese people had never lacked passion, but they lacked a leader. Li Shaoyi, a mediocre general who broke all the rules, was now the best leader...
