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

Because Li Shaoyi had too many things to do, he did not stay in Tianjin. After finishing his inspection there, he immediately took the train back to Beijing.

Li Shaoyi is different now. He has his own patent when returning to Peiping. Moreover, there is another train fifteen minutes ahead of the train for reconnaissance and inspection to prevent things like train bombings on the road.

Originally, Li Shaoyi thought that there was no need for such a big fuss, but his subordinates kept asking for it, so Li Shaoyi could not go against everyone's wishes.

Everyone knows that although our 72nd Brigade is always bustling and seems to have its own place in the sky, if there is no brigade commander, none of us will be able to stand up.

As for weapons and equipment alone, no one can get them. We don’t know where the brigade commander got them from, but when we need them, we can deliver them to you immediately, and there is no limit on the quantity.

So everyone understands that Li Shaoyi’s safety is the top priority of the 72nd Brigade. We can do other things, but there are some things that only the brigade commander can do.

For example, we are welcoming the 7th Regiment of the Sichuan Army right now.

After a long journey, the infantry regiment promised by Commander Liu from Sichuan has now arrived in Peking. After a short stay here, the Seventh Regiment will immediately head to Rehe Province.

This was the first army in the country to arrive to support the 72nd Brigade in the anti-Japanese war, so Li Shaoyi organized a grand ceremony. In addition to the newly formed military band, there were also people from all walks of life in Peiping, and the entire train station was like a festival.

The 7th Regiment of the Sichuan Army had a full strength of 2,400 people. In everyone's impression, the Sichuan Army has always been ragged and wore straw sandals to fight, but this army was specially selected by Commander Liu. When the train stopped, they were similar to other warlord troops, but they looked a little uneasy.

After all, it is thousands of miles away from home, and from the south to the north.

While Li Shaoyi and the others were applauding, several officers came jogging over from a distance. They should be the regimental commander and the chief of staff.

"Commander Li, I am Chu Jingping, the commander of the Seventh Regiment."

"Commander Li, I am Liu Pingye, the Chief of Staff of the Seventh Regiment."

Looking at the two men standing upright in front of him, Li Shaoyi also understood that Commander Liu's dispatch of the Seventh Regiment to the north this time should have been a temporary formation, and he had transferred all his elite troops over. From this, it can be seen that Commander Liu indeed supported Li Shaoyi's anti-Japanese war.

"You look pretty good, but I can't give you much time to rest. In a few hours, after you have a meal, you will enter Rehe Province. Is that okay?"

Li Shaoyi saw that the young men in the car were all excited. These brothers might not know how dangerous it was to leave home and go north to fight the Japanese.

"Whatever Commander Li says is what we do. When we arrived, our Commander Liu said that we should just treat all of us as dead on the battlefield. From now on, we will all be members of the 72nd Brigade. Commander Li, please give us your orders."

Chu Jingping said loudly that this was not only for Li Shaoyi, but also for everyone in the car. We have no intention of going back since we left Sichuan. To fight the Japanese, we have to risk our lives.

"Well said. You are, after all, the elite troops under Commander Liu. Tell the brothers that, apart from the previously prepaid resettlement allowance, from now on, you will receive the same treatment as all officers and soldiers of my 72nd Brigade. Soldiers will receive five dollars per month, starting with one month's salary, which will be paid immediately."

After hearing Li Shaoyi's words, before Chu Jingping could say anything, the people in the next carriage started shouting.

Among all the local armies in the country, the Sichuan Army was the poorest. Not to mention the salary for this month, even the previous salaries had been deducted for the most part. Only part of their salary was paid when they came.

As for the resettlement fee paid by Li Shaoyi, it was never distributed to them. It was all transferred to other places. Li Shaoyi also expressed his understanding of this.

With such a big family business, if they suddenly have money, they have to balance it out. They can't give it all to the Seventh Regiment.

"Thank you, sir."

Chu Jingping and Liu Pingye both saluted excitedly.

"Commander Li, we are not fighting for money."

Chief of Staff Liu thought about it and said this to Li Shaoyi.

"Of course I know you're not doing this for the money. A mere five dollars a month. If five dollars can drive you to death, then where is your military spirit? You're all great, but we're human beings, born and raised by our parents. We need food and clothes. What are we going to do if we don't have money? Besides us, we have families to support. Fighting bravely against the enemy is your responsibility, and ensuring your livelihood is my responsibility. We each have our own responsibilities. That's what a real army is."

Li Shaoyi's words were like a heavy hammer, striking the hearts of the officers and soldiers of the Seventh Regiment.

It was also the first time they heard of such a commander who actually regarded ensuring their living needs as his responsibility. Those they had met before seemed to have not done many good things except sucking the blood of the soldiers. Good officers were really hard to find.

Li Shaoyi knew what the soldiers in the car were concerned about, so after saying these words, he simply waved his hand and gave them money on the first day of the meeting.

Looking at the various armies across the country, I have never seen any that give money as soon as they meet, and the brothers' enthusiasm is even higher.

"Put down all the weapons and equipment from the vehicle. We'll go eat first. There's a military camp in the north of the city. Once you're on the truck, we'll take you there. You'll shower, change into your uniforms, and get your equipment. Then, you'll start acclimatization training for fifteen days."

Li Shaoyi pointed to the large open space next to him and said that all kinds of tables, chairs and benches had been set up, but it could only accommodate one thousand people for dinner at a time. The rest of the brothers didn't mind, as they heard that it didn't matter as long as they found a place to sit for dinner.

"Sir, we all wore new uniforms when we arrived, and these weapons and equipment were gathered from several regiments."

Chu Jingping said this a little embarrassedly, but from the moment he got off the car until now, he had seen what Li Shaoyi's men were wearing, and the guns they carried on their bodies were definitely not comparable to theirs.

"Have you forgotten what your Commander Liu said? Once you're here, listen to me. A soldier's duty is to obey orders. Now I'm going to give you your first order: Come over and eat."

Seeing Li Shaoyi become serious, Captain Chu and Chief of Staff Liu immediately saluted, then turned around and directed their brothers to go over and eat.
