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

"Everyone, I know this is hard to believe, but after conducting war games, the General Staff determined that our current forces would be unable to complete the encirclement and suppression of the 72nd Brigade. Therefore, the General Staff worked overnight to formulate a plan and asked everyone to come and discuss it. Furthermore, the headquarters has also provided support to us."

As soon as Higashino Heishiro said this, the people below were unhappy. It turned out that you had already discussed it, and even the headquarters knew that reinforcements were needed, which meant that you had already determined the strength of the 72nd Brigade.

Just now when we were ridiculing General Yamamoto, you, a bastard, actually sat there and watched the joke. General Yamamoto has a strong backing, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to become the commander of the North China Garrison Army. You're clearly trying to make us jump into a trap.

However, they also knew that the past was past, and if they made things difficult for the Chief of Staff of the Kwantung Army because of the past, they would go even further in this wrong matter.

So instead of wasting time arguing, you might as well take a look at how the battle plan is made.

The existing troops in Rehe have fully switched to defense and retreated to the Jianchang Yangshan line. All troops are organized into the Rehe Garrison Division, which is commanded by General Anton Maobei.

At the same time, the 1st Division took a train from the north to the south, and combined with the 123rd Division from the mainland and the 15th Division from Goryeo, a total of four divisions, to fully support the Rehe Garrison Division, with the 1st Flying Division providing cover in the air.

"Those are the Rakshasas to my north. My army is the most elite in the empire, mainly used to defend the northern part of Manchuria. Do we have to go south too?"

Regimental Commander Tanimoto said with some surprise that the Kwantung Army's troops in various places were all elite, but he never thought that even his people would be mobilized.

"This is an order from headquarters. We've already calculated that Li Shaoyi has already gained control of such a vast territory in less than half a year since his rise to power. If we don't gather our superior forces to annihilate him, it would be our biggest mistake."

Higashino Heishiro took out the order from the headquarters. The division commanders under him were of equal rank to him, and they were all lieutenant generals of the army. If there was no order from the headquarters, don't expect these people to obey, as they were all like thorns.

After seeing the order from the headquarters, General Tanimoto remained silent, and the others who had questions also remained silent.

The troops of four divisions were mobilized, plus the 3rd Garrison Division currently in Rehe, which added up to nearly six divisions.

Tens of thousands of troops to wipe out an infantry brigade?

It sounds a bit like a joke, but they all heard what Higashino Heishiro said just now.

In about half a year, he went from being a police squad leader to a local warlord with a powerful army of 30,000 men. If this guy were given another half a year, the army under his command might exceed 300,000.

Do we still need to think about who will be the hunter and who will be the prey at that time?

"Everyone, once the First Division moves south, Senior Tanimoto will serve as the overall commander, and Lieutenant General Anton will serve as the chief of staff. I hope you will all work together to annihilate the 72nd Brigade."

After Higashino Heishiro finished speaking, all the generals on both sides stood up and bowed slightly to show their agreement.

Originally, General Tanimoto of the 1st Division was against this plan, but when he heard that he would be the commander-in-chief, a smile immediately appeared on his face. He had enough qualifications in the Japanese Empire, but lacked some merit. If he had this merit, he would definitely continue to rise.

The 1st Division is also known as the Imperial Guards Division. Anyone who can serve as the division commander here is definitely someone trusted by His Majesty the Emperor. Now he just lacks an opportunity, and the 72nd Brigade is his opportunity. As long as he fights well, why would he worry about not being promoted?

After the meeting, each unit began to accept its new task. The Japanese troops that had been mobilized would also have new troops joining in their areas. They would hurry to hand over the task and immediately rush to the nearest train station after the task was completed.

General Tanimoto has issued an order that all troops mobilized in the Northeast must board the train within seven days.

The head of the Manchurian secret service also ordered all Japanese intelligence personnel in the Northeast to put down their current work and eliminate the people from the 72nd Brigade Intelligence Department. They had caused great trouble to the transportation in the Northeast in the past few days. If they were not dealt with, the troop mobilization this time would also be delayed.

As for Higashino Heishiro, he began to give a speech to reporters from various countries in front of the Kwantung Army Headquarters, and announced that they would mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops to wipe out the 72nd Brigade in one fell swoop and protect Rehe and Chahar again.

When all the reporters learned about the Kwantung Army's big move, they thought they had heard it wrong. After repeated inquiries, they wrote down the press release. You know, this was the largest-scale military mobilization of the Japanese army in the north since 1931.

Just for the 72nd Brigade which was established only a few days ago?

Some people think that this is unlikely, and that the 72nd Brigade must have provoked the Japanese, which eventually made them angry. The Japanese were ready to mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops to enter North China.

After the news reached Nanjing, many people began to criticize the 72nd Brigade, believing that Li Shaoyi had ignored the people of North China for the sake of his personal reputation. Even though you fight well, can you defeat the Japanese army of hundreds of thousands?

Li Shaoyi, who was in Chengde, was the last to learn the news. When Li Sibei and others reported the news back from Jinling, Li Shaoyi was also shocked.

He was preparing to launch an offensive against the army in Rehe.

After all, when Liu Xiaoshan's army arrived, he already had this ability. Coupled with the cover of Li Qiankun's air force, as long as we can achieve our goal, the Japanese army in Rehe will not be able to escape from our grasp.

Suddenly these people began to retreat in full force and united into a fist, which was much more difficult to fight than when they were scattered before.

Everyone was in Li Shaoyi's office, and they all looked a little nervous. Even though they had been winning battles, the number of Japanese troops they faced was not that large. Now they had several divisions with hundreds of thousands of troops, so it was normal to be a little nervous.

Li Shaoyi acted like a great general and didn't feel anything was wrong. When Li Shaoyi looked up, he saw that some of his brothers were sweating from nervousness.

There were hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops. Not to mention them, I guess some people in Nanjing would curse and criticize after knowing about it!
