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

Li Shaoyi never knew what promises meant to these Japs and traitors. Do you really think that you can save your lives by helping me?

If that is the case, the common people who die at your hands will not be able to rest in peace, so they will still die where they should, it will just be delayed a little.

Nomura Ryohei was taken away, and dozens of Japanese who had committed serious crimes were taken away like him. These people were basically registered locally, and getting rid of them would win a lot of public support.

As for those traitors, Li Shaoyi planned to find a suitable time to execute them collectively.

As for the remaining people, Li Shaoyi couldn't kill them all. The most important thing in this era was transportation. These people were the most suitable labor tools. If he gave them a bullet, it would be too easy for them.

"Commander, isn't this a bit rude of us to do this? I know these people deserve to die, but the problem is that we still have to fight a war in the future. It will be difficult to persuade them to surrender."

Tang Guoping said with some concern, how exactly they would do things this time, the truth will come out sooner or later, if they encounter such a situation in the future, they will definitely resist to the end, surrendering means death anyway, it is better to fight on the battlefield.

"We don't always have such good luck. Besides, killing them will help us better integrate with the local people. If we spare them because they've made contributions, how will they view us? Everything has two sides. Besides, if we encounter someone like this in the future, as long as their desire to survive is strong, we can use a way out to keep them alive. We don't care about reputation. Why do so many people jump into some scams even though they know they're scams?"

Li Shaoyi didn't mind it much. As long as you described it well and the situation was critical at that time, there would still be a second or even a third Commander Nomura.

Tang Guoping also nodded beside him. He didn't understand this matter before, but after Li Shaoyi's explanation, he thought it was really the case. It just depends on how we package it.

"Reporting to the commander, the 12th Division has stopped advancing and is building a defense line fifteen kilometers northeast of Chengde."

After hearing this, Tang Guoping finally understood why Li Shaoyi was so anxious to send a telegram to the whole country. In fact, he was also telling the people of the 12th Division that Chengde was already in their hands and it would be useless for them to come.

If the 12th Division continues to advance, we will have to fight them around Chengde, which will not be beneficial to us. The city has not yet stabilized and people are still being arrested everywhere. If we really fight outside the city, there will be many loopholes.

It would be best for the 12th Division to stop, as it would also prevent us from being attacked from both sides.

"Brother, if they don't stop, we're going to be in a real mess."

Tang Guoping wiped the sweat from his forehead. To be honest, he had been worried about this matter when he entered Chengde just now. After all, the 12th Division was not slow in movement.

"If they don't stop, the worst outcome is abandoning the city. But now they've stopped, and you still have to scramble to organize your elite troops and launch a surprise attack on them after dark."

Li Shaoyi's words made Tang Guoping open his mouth wide. Although our brothers did not fight in Chengde, they were still mentally tense. Now everyone has relaxed, but are we going to fight again soon?

"Look at how nervous you are. Even you didn't expect us to launch a surprise attack on them, let alone the people of the 12th Division. We don't need too many people, just eight or nine hundred will do. Bring all the heavy equipment, charge in and do it. If there are casualties at the first contact, withdraw immediately. Don't get involved with them."

Li Shaoyi knew that speed was of the essence in war. We had just occupied Chengde, and everything was very tense. The 12th Division had just set up camp, and they felt that we were not stable yet, so they would never go and cause trouble for them. It was very likely that we were still afraid.

Attacking them at this time is absolutely unexpected. With the addition of armored vehicles and various superior forces, we can kill one or two thousand of them in one night and get the jackpot.

"If they counterattack with all their strength, can we withstand it?"

Tang Guoping said with some concern that there were only more than 3,000 people coming, and if they occupied the entire city, half of it would have to be destroyed. Now there were only more than 1,500 people left who could be used for the attack.

Although the 12th Division was advancing separately, its force was several times larger than ours.

"That depends on your performance. The harder you hit them, the smaller their chances of a counterattack tonight. If you don't hit them hard enough, the greater their chances of a counterattack. We must make sure they are completely exhausted and buy us some time."

Li Shaoyi smiled and put the pressure on Tang Guoping. "Haven't you always wanted to be the leader of the Ace Group? Now I'm giving you this opportunity."

"Then I'm going to requisition all the heavy armored vehicles."

Tang Guoping said with a wry smile that it was really bold for seven or eight hundred people to attack the enemy's two infantry regiments and an artillery battalion, but according to the fighting style mentioned by Li Shaoyi, it was also quite feasible.

"You are to take all the armored vehicles we have. Take as many as you can. I won't keep any."

Anyway, Li Shaoyi was staying in the city, so the armored vehicles were of little use. In addition, General Nomura was very cooperative, and there were only a few dozen Japanese soldiers who were not on the roster, and they could not cause much trouble hiding in the city.

12th Division Headquarters

The ones that came here were the 46th and 48th Regiments.

The 46th Regiment was commanded by Colonel Goro Yamane, commander of the 46th Regiment.

Colonel Ryohide Tanaka, commander of the 48th Regiment, served as chief of staff.

Both of them belonged to the 24th Brigade, and the original brigade commander position was vacant, otherwise it would not have been the turn of a colonel to take command.

Originally, they were marching towards Chengde like crazy. According to the order of the division commander, they had to defend Chengde.

Unexpectedly, they suddenly received a telegram from the headquarters, asking them to stay where they were. Only later did they find out that Chengde had been lost.

According to Colonel Goro Yamane, they should take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness and launch a direct attack. However, the people in the headquarters were afraid of failure at the hands of Li Shaoyi, so they had to wait for the follow-up troops to arrive and recapture Chengde after the organization was complete...

But with the broken railway line, when will they be able to build a complete system?
