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

In addition, there is a tank brigade, and the number of aircraft has increased to more than 100.

"It seems the Japanese really want to kill me, otherwise they wouldn't increase their forces so much. What about North China?"

Li Shaoyi was very clear about the speed at which the Japanese increased their troops. Although they came in a fierce manner, it would take at least one to two months for all these people to reach him. The speed of deployment on the Japanese side was far slower than that of his side.

There are only Zhao Tiezhu's three regiments in North China, and the rest are all security regiments from various places, which are now in training. If a large number of troops are sent to North China, Li Shaoyi is afraid that the war will break out prematurely and that all parts of the country will not be prepared. In that case, he will be guilty of a serious crime.

"Because of the anti-Japanese enthusiasm in the country some time ago, the Japanese side held a meeting and believed that the war should be fought north of the Great Wall, rather than in North China, to avoid provoking a larger-scale resistance."

After hearing Natasha's words, Li Shaoyi felt relieved. As long as nothing happened in North China, that place would be his rear base.

"Your losses during this period must be quite large, right?"

Li Shaoyi knew what Natasha had been doing during this period. The slow movement of the 12th Division was directly related to the action team of their intelligence department.

"Over half of the intelligence department's operational personnel have been killed or wounded."

Natasha did not hide their casualties. Only when the commander knew the real casualties would he dispatch corresponding support. Of the more than 600 people sent to the Northeast during this period, more than 300 are still alive, and the rest have all died for their country. Of course, their sacrifice also delayed the 12th Division on the road by twice as much time.

"You can select reinforcements from across the entire army. This is the authority I give you, including the combat personnel currently in Chengde. Replenish them as soon as possible. My original mission remains: to allow the Japanese army to take longer to reach Chengde."

Li Shaoyi saw the role of the intelligence department and asked them to supplement their personnel so that they could achieve greater results.

Natasha saluted Li Shaoyi and then went out to select people. All the elite troops of the 72nd Brigade, except for the third regiment stationed in Tianjin, all the combat-ready people were in Chengde. Naturally, they had to be selected from these people outside. Of course, some of them had to go to the training camp, so they had to find some newbies.

"Commander Li?"

Li Shaoyi had just had some free time when he heard the voice of Chu Jingping, commander of the Sichuan Army.

"Come in, come in, what's wrong?"

After the more than 700 of his men arrived, they have been undergoing adaptive training in the surrounding area. This has been going on for more than a week. The brothers under his command have eaten well and slept well, so they always want to make some achievements, otherwise they would be unworthy of Commander Li's can of meat.

"Captain Li, you know we brothers have been away from Sichuan for a long time, and have been on the front lines for over a week. We've been practicing various tactics, so could you give us a chance to practice them in actual combat?"

Chu Jingping said a little embarrassedly that he was an old soldier and of course knew what the situation was on the battlefield. It was a big taboo to come and ask for a mission casually.

"It's a good thing you're interested in going to the battlefield. Wait a moment. I'll call your military instructors. If they agree, I'll immediately assign you a combat mission so you can test your skills on the battlefield first."

Li Shaoyi never discourages the enthusiasm of his subordinates, not to mention that they are brothers from the Sichuan Army, so Li Shaoyi naturally has a good impression of them.

After asking the instructors who trained them, Li Shaoyi had a rough idea in his mind. Being able to pass the recruit assessment meant that these more than 700 people had good combat skills. A new batch of soldiers had been added in succession during this period, and they were now organized into four regiments. Although there were only more than 1,300 people, their combat effectiveness was comparable to that of the Japanese army, and they could easily fight against their main divisions.

"Come here with me."

Seeing that Li Shaoyi was about to issue a combat mission, Captain Chu hurried to follow him. His brothers had been urging him for several days and wanted to try their luck on the battlefield.

"This is Ningcheng County. The troops we attacked a while ago, along with a new infantry battalion, are currently entrenched around Ningcheng County. Your troops are also following a template. How did Guang Muping fight a while ago? You should go and learn from him."

Li Shaoyi did not say much, but directly assigned them tasks. In this situation, we have to send troops in different time periods to attack the Japanese troops entrenched in front of us. Even if we kill hundreds of them each time, we cannot let these people live a good life.

Captain Chu quickly saluted and then went out to find Captain Guang.

"Brother, you have to tell me the truth. This is our Sichuan Army's first battle. Based on your understanding of us, what can we do? If you have anything to tell us, just tell us. If we win this battle, you will be the benefactor of our Fourth Regiment."

After Captain Chu found Guang Muping, he took this guy around his army for two hours.

He felt a little embarrassed after what Captain Chu said.

"Captain Chu, to be honest, I'm not bragging, but your troops are still inferior to mine in combat effectiveness. But as long as you focus on speed, the Japanese will definitely not be able to defeat you. You must not fight according to the Japanese style. You must fight according to our style, defeating them with cartwheels and crushing them with gunpowder."

Captain Guang told everyone his winning strategies without any reservation.

"Also, don't fight too long. Never engage in close combat. This isn't our advantage. Our advantage is in killing their vital forces at a distance. We don't need to occupy positions. There's no such order from above. Kill a few hundred of them and then retreat. We can just go back tomorrow."

Captain Guang thought for a while and said, this is a team of new recruits after all. Although many people in the Sichuan Army have been soldiers for a long time, they have just learned about the 72nd Brigade's fighting style. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are new recruits.

"I've written down everything you said, brother. I'm going to lead my men out to fight today. I'll treat you to a drink when I come back tonight."

Captain Chu punched Captain Guang. This is a unique way of communication for men.

"Wait a moment. Our logistics department has a batch of new armored vehicles. They're T18 Boarhound heavy armored vehicles. They have armor thickness over 50mm and a 57mm tank gun. They're really powerful. Go get a few..."
