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

They never imagined that at such a critical moment, the Westerners would abandon them. According to their original idea, they should have discussed with Western countries and then jointly defended Tianjin to prevent the 72nd Brigade from coming in. Who knew that before they could discuss it, these foreign devils had done it first.

The overall situation is now determined. As long as the Watanabe Battalion cannot enter Tianjin, even if they run until sparks come out of their feet, they will never be a match for Zhao Tiezhu.

Over the next hour or so, Zhao Tiezhu's brothers rode in armored vehicles and on horses, slowly completing the remaining tasks.

Watanabe Battalion is scrapped!

In an infantry battalion with a full strength of more than 1,300 people, more than 900 were killed or wounded, and the rest were all captured. When they were reorganized, there was not a single old man left.

Zhao Tiezhu also kept his promise and did not enter the Zizhulin Concession in Tianjin, but he did not make any guarantees. Although he had just said that the Japanese would not be allowed to enter, they would not enter. Now that the war was over, Zhao Tiezhu changed his tone again and said he would obey orders from above.

Tongzhou 72nd Brigade Headquarters.

"Let Zhao Tiezhu stay in Tianjin. Don't cause any trouble and don't go in. If he stays here for a while, the Japanese will probably come to negotiate with him."

Li Shaoyi said happily while holding Zhao Tiezhu's telegram in his hand.

This guy is quite thoughtful. Rehe Province is a desolate area. We have spent so much money on this war and we must make it back. There are many Japanese businessmen in Tianjin. We are mainly stationed in Tianjin. I guess the remaining Japanese soldiers and Japanese businessmen can't sleep.

We will not go into the city, but if you want to leave the city, that is impossible. All Japanese goods are prohibited from entering or leaving. Even if other merchants buy Japanese goods, they cannot enter or leave.

Commander Yamamoto has negotiated with us. He is a flexible person. Zhao Tiezhu's purpose is also very simple. He wants to dig into Commander Yamamoto to at least get our military funds.

"That's just a small matter. We need to make some plans now. The 12th Division is still on its way south. We need to understand their movements and deploy our troops. They have two routes to the south. One is to go straight to Rehe Province, and the other is from Shanhaiguan to Tianjin..."

Chief of Staff Cui was not so optimistic. We have poked a hole in the sky and now we have to think about how to remedy the situation. The 12th Division is a fully staffed division with more than 20,000 people, plus the original garrison in Rehe Province. This time we have to face more than 30,000 Japanese soldiers.

"Send a telegram to Natasha, asking her to immediately figure out how the 12th Division will move south. Also, send a telegram to the Nanjing National Government. We will occupy all 22 counties originally under the Jidong Autonomous Government and assign them to the 72nd Brigade's housing area. You need to figure out the organization of things like the police station security corps, and have Nanjing authorize us to do so."

After hearing what Li Shaoyi said, Chief of Staff Cui was also shocked. If all these organizations were given to us, we would immediately become a behemoth. According to our existing staff, after filling all these new organizations, we would be the boss in the entire North China, and the 29th Army would have to make way for us.

"General, with our current strength, it seems a bit difficult to fill all these positions."

Chief of Staff Cui knew the actual situation. Take the six counties we occupied before, for example. Whether it was the Security Corps or the Garrison Corps, it was just a different name. Now it is just a framework, and only a part of the people have entered training. It will take at least two or three months to set up the whole thing.

We haven't even settled things here yet, and you're pulling in those dozen or so counties. Of course, we haven't occupied them yet, but the Japanese in North China have been almost completely destroyed. With the autonomous government's rubbish army, it's only a matter of time before we take them down.

"First, take over the position, and take up a major cause. We can deal with the rest later."

Li Shaoyi said with a smile, now is the time when the Japanese army in North China is the weakest. If we don’t take the opportunity to expand our power, how can we be worthy of our system?

"That's fine, but a Jidong Commissioner is no longer enough. Let me see if I can get you a position as the Vice Governor of Jidong Province."

After Chief of Staff Cui finished speaking, Li Shaoyi's eyes lit up. It turns out that I am only at the bureau level. Does this mean that I am now moving towards the provincial and ministerial level?

Li Shaoyi soon calmed down. These were all future prospects. The most important thing now was how to contend with the 12th Division. All the troops currently capable of fighting only had a few thousand people at most. Even if the first and second regiments were combined, they could not even reach more than 6,000. They had to rely on the support of the major police stations in Peiping.

It is too risky to use these people to fight against the 12th Division.

When Li Shaoyi said this, the smiles on his and the chief of staff's faces disappeared. Although they had gained a lot, they had also poked a hole in the sky, and the next thing would indeed be difficult to deal with.

"Marshal, we can ask for aid from all over the country. After all, this is about resisting the Japanese, and we can't just do it all on our own. Some of the warlords are being tough on the Japanese. Let's spread the word about the 12th Division moving south, and have the reporters exaggerate it. They'll say the Japanese are going to occupy North China, and our 72nd Brigade needs to defend it, but we don't have enough troops. We need support from generals all over the country. I don't believe they're all stingy. If they weren't, they'd be drowned in spit."

Wang Shuhai, who had been silent in the office, said this.

This guy was originally Mayor Yuan's secretary. Now he is in charge of the civil affairs managed by Li Shaoyi, and he is in good order. I thought he didn't know much about military affairs, but I didn't expect that the suggestion he made was a good one. When the Great Wall War of Resistance was fought, people all over the country gave a lot of support.

"Old Wang, you're really quick-witted! Go draft a telegram right away, just as you said. Find a few writers to polish it up and make the situation in North China sound more dire. We'll send it out to the entire nation right away."

Li Shaoyi slammed the table and said, "Information was transmitted slowly in this era, and we were really fighting the Japanese in a real way. We have photos of the Japanese we annihilated this time, and they will be published in newspapers when the time comes, so that the warlords from all over the country will bleed."

"Okay, I'm good at this. I'll go right away."

Wang Shuhai happily went out to look for someone.

Li Shaoyi also heard the system prompt sound at this moment. Finally, it ushered in another upgrade. This time it was the division-level system...
