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

Seeing the strange looks from the people around him, Commander Yamamoto was a little embarrassed.

This incident was caused by your North China Garrison Army. Normally, you should have solved it yourselves. But who knew that not only could you not solve it, but you also let your forces retreat to the Zizhulin Concession in Tianjin, making it impossible for you to get out.

Now Zhao Tiezhu's Third Regiment is staring at them. If the Japanese army makes any move, these people will rush into the Zizhulin Concession without hesitation.

Except for the 3rd Regiment of the 72nd Brigade, the attitude of the Westerners was also very clear. They did not want any changes now. Tianjin was a peaceful Tianjin. As long as the people of the 72nd Brigade were still outside the concession, the Japanese could not add a single soldier.

The Japanese government may not care about the official attitude of the Tianjin Concession, but they cannot ignore the official documents of the foreign ministries of various countries.

Japan is a small country with a weak population. At any time, they can only import raw materials and export industrial products. However, the raw materials are produced in the colonies of Western countries. Once Japan becomes hostile to other countries, they will not be able to buy any materials. At that time, even if they build more factories, the entire Japanese economy will collapse.

Therefore, the formal diplomatic notes from Western countries are still very useful at this time.

The Japanese headquarters had already formulated a strategy. Since North China was not suitable for large-scale military operations, they chose Rehe as the battlefield and the main force of the Kwantung Army was responsible for this matter.

After the tone was set, the Kwantung Army also sent a lot of troops, but they failed to win the war against the 72nd Brigade. Therefore, the affairs of the 72nd Brigade finally affected the Japanese headquarters, which ordered the Kwantung Army to deploy its main forces to end the battle against the 72nd Brigade in the shortest time possible and not to affect the strategy for the entire China.

In particular, if the Chinese people cannot see the hope of resistance from the 72nd woman, it will have a profound impact on Japan's entire strategy.

Therefore, Higashino Heishiro personally convened a meeting to discuss how many troops to mobilize to encircle and suppress the 72nd Brigade and take back Rehe and Chahar.

Although Chahar is still in the hands of Japan, Japan only has more than a thousand people stationed in Chahar, and all land transportation has been cut off.

If they don't deal with the 72nd Brigade, Chahar will soon be theirs.

When everyone was present, Higashino Heishiro cleared his throat and everyone present quieted down. General Yamamoto also looked better. Just now, no matter who he was talking to, he felt as if the other person was laughing at him.

Of course, this is also normal. From the Sino-Japanese War of 1894 to the present, the Japanese army has always had smooth sailing on the land of Longguo. Even if there are slight setbacks, they can solve them by themselves.

It is rare to ask for help from others, but now not only do we have to ask for help from others, but they are the main force, and it seems that you can't help at all.

Out of respect, no one said it out loud, but if Commander Yamamoto was not a fool, he would definitely be able to feel the contempt revealed in his words.

"Everyone, this is the order that was just sent from headquarters this morning. At this meeting, we must approve the battle plan for the 72nd Brigade. All previous battle plans are scrapped starting with this meeting, and a new one must be formulated."

Higashino Heishiro's opening remarks attracted everyone's attention, and Commander Yamamoto also felt that the attention directed at him had weakened a little.

"Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, we've already dispatched nearly two reorganized divisions. Isn't that enough to deal with the 72nd Brigade? What kind of army are they? Don't we have complete intelligence on them?"

Masao Tanimoto, commander of the Japanese 1st Division, said angrily.

He was considered a veteran in the Japanese army's combat sequence, although he was only a division commander. However, when he spoke to the Chief of Staff of the Kwantung Army, he used a questioning tone and stared at General Yamamoto who was sitting opposite him. He believed that it was a disgrace to the empire for such a person to serve as the commander of the North China Garrison Army.

"Since Senior Tanimoto has asked, then Yamamoto-kun, could you please answer it for us?"

Although there were many people from intelligence agencies present, Commander Yamamoto was obviously the most suitable person when it came to understanding the 72nd Brigade.

Commander Yamamoto knew that the reason he was asked to come here for the meeting was to give an explanation about the 72nd Brigade. Otherwise, there would be no need for him to fly all the way from North China.

"Everyone, as a defeated general, I have no right to speak here, but you are about to engage in a firefight with the 72nd Brigade, so I will still briefly discuss..."

General Yamamoto lowered his posture very low, his face almost parallel to the table, and he bowed 90 degrees before speaking, for fear that someone would stand up and ridicule him.

There were indeed a few people who were ready to stand up and speak. They also wanted to compete for the commander of the North China Garrison Army, but were beaten to it by this guy. However, seeing that he was so humble, if they were to kick the man when he was down, it would inevitably cause some damage to their reputation, so they decided to let him go for now.

"The 72nd Brigade is a heavily armored force. The number of heavy artillery pieces exceeds the combined total of several of our divisions. All soldiers are mechanized, with countless heavy machine guns and mortars. Within a company-level unit, their firepower can almost suppress an entire infantry regiment. Now, they have the support of the Air Force. Although the Air Force is small in size, it's developing rapidly. New aircraft enter service almost every week, and they are the most advanced ones..."

When General Yamamoto first started speaking, he was like a child who had done something wrong, but he became more and more excited as he spoke. When he talked about the later situations, he even felt like he was venting his grievances.

You only know how to blame our North China Garrison Army, but our military strength is far inferior to Li Shaoyi's. With only a few thousand people like us, we have been able to hold out for such a long time, which is already due to the protection of Amaterasu.

You, the Kwantung Army, look down on us, so why don't you at least win a battle? Look at your troops who entered Rehe, they were beaten to pieces by them.

"That's nonsense. An infantry company's artillery can suppress our entire armored infantry regiment. Do you know what you're talking about?"

Division Commander Tanimoto couldn't stand it anymore. He thought Yamamoto was making up stories purely to cover up his failure, but you are making up stories and ignoring our IQ.
