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

"Let's just adapt it. After all, these Dragon people only have a few people in a division."

In the opinion of Division Commander Tanimoto, most of the Dragon Country’s troops are relatively weak organizations.

Changing from a brigade to a division is nothing more than a change in name, and the strength will not increase much.

However, when Colonel Yoshimoto, who was in charge of intelligence work, came over, he realized how huge the gap was. Originally there were three infantry regiments in one brigade, and Li Shaoyi later added one more secretly.

Now the organization of this division is extremely large, with four brigades and twelve infantry regiments. These are only the main components. According to Li Shaoyi's habit, there will definitely be some miscellaneous troops, plus security groups from various places. It is hard to imagine what kind of army they will face.

"You...what did you say? Say it again."

Division Commander Tanimoto was originally very calm, but after listening to the report, he suddenly felt that he could not sit still.

Colonel Yoshimoto was unwilling to answer this question, but he had not been idle during this period and had almost investigated all the intelligence that needed to be investigated.

It doesn't matter if you get scolded, but you have to explain the true situation of Li Shaoyi clearly. If you don't explain it clearly, it will cause Commander Tanimoto to be unable to make the correct judgment, and then the responsibility for the defeat will be on your head.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, I dare not speak carelessly. Everything is recorded. According to their current organization of 2,000 to 3,000 men per regiment, the regular troops in the twelve regiments alone total nearly 40,000 men, and there are also artillery regiments, armored regiments, and aviation regiments..."

Colonel Yoshimoto could not continue speaking at this point because he saw fire in the division commander's eyes. If he continued speaking, he might be chopped to death with a knife.

"Why didn't you report it in advance?"

Masao Tanimoto said very angrily.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, I didn't dare report immediately before I received accurate intelligence. After obtaining the intelligence, I personally went to Peking and found out everything. In addition to these regular troops, they also have nearly 35 security regiments. However, the security regiments are slightly smaller, with only about 2,000 people. However, 15 new ones have been formed and are currently in training..."

Colonel Yoshimoto said anxiously, "Can these things be reported casually? If I report them wrongly, I will be killed."

Fifty security groups...

Upon hearing this number, Masao Tanimoto slumped down in his chair, feeling as if all his strength had been drained from his body. Who said that Li Shaoyi had only tens of thousands of men under his command? Now there are more than 100,000 of them in total. I originally thought that our four divisions plus one garrison division would have an absolute advantage in numbers, but now we don't even have that advantage in numbers anymore.

During the meeting at the Kwantung Army Headquarters, he still thought that this was a very easy task. He had already boasted that there was no need to increase any troops and that Li Shaoyi's 72nd Brigade would be wiped out within two months. But judging from the current situation, what can you use to wipe it out?

There are also aviation regiments and armored regiments...

This kind of unit number is probably unique in the entire Dragon Country. How was it formed?

"Where did his weapons and equipment come from? Didn't your men find out?"

Masao Tanimoto suddenly thought of another thing. Most of the weapons and equipment of the Longguo warlords were purchased from abroad. No matter which country they were purchased from, as long as the Japanese officials could exert pressure, the country would soon cut off trade with the Longguo government.

If you can do this, even though Li Shaoyi is making a lot of trouble now, when your weapons and equipment cannot keep up, that will be the time for you to fail.

"Your Excellency, the division commander, I am incompetent and cannot find anything."

"idiot."

Colonel Yoshimoto's words finally angered Masao Tanimoto. He no longer cared whether he was a senior officer or not, and slapped him twice.

As the director of the intelligence department of the Rehe Expeditionary Force, you should have found out all the intelligence. Now you just say that you can't find anything. Who else should I blame if not you?

"Your intelligence department spends so much money every year, and you pick off many graduates from military academies. And now you're telling me you can't find any information. How exactly do you work? Do you know how much damage this will cause to our army?"

Masao Tanimoto was so angry that he slammed the table and said, the hardwood table was cracking so loudly that you can imagine how much pain his hands were in.

In fact, this guy was not angry because he could not find any intelligence, but because he had heard that Li Shaoyi's army had expanded so much. He was already a little angry and now he needed an outlet. Colonel Yoshimoto happened to be the one who took over.

"Hayi..."

You cannot say a word when you are beaten and you have to bow obediently. This is the tradition of the Japanese army. Even if you have reached the rank of colonel, you have to do what you have to do.

"I'll give you one week. Immediately mobilize all intelligence resources and make sure you find out the source of their weapons. If you still can't figure it out, then take your own samurai sword and commit suicide to atone for your sins."

In Tanimoto Masao's opinion, cutting off Li Shaoyi's weapons supply should be the last resort. If they were to fight head-on on the battlefield, even if they had assembled so many troops, the possibility of winning would be slim.

"Hayi..."

Colonel Yoshimoto was almost in tears. How could we possibly find such important intelligence in such a short time? But looking at the anger of the division commander in front of him, if you don't even have the courage to take on this mission, I'm afraid you will be killed on the spot.

After leaving the office, Colonel Yoshimoto also felt puzzled. It was not that he had not sent people to infiltrate during this period, but that he had sent a lot of people. However, the problem was that these people did not find out any information.

The most terrible thing is that when these people were about to obtain confidential information, they were killed in return.

If it were just one or two people doing this, Colonel Yoshimoto would not have any other thoughts. Perhaps we acted inappropriately in some aspects, or the officer in charge of this matter was more central, so it was normal to be killed in return.

After all, it is normal for a patriotic officer to report you or even kill you on the spot when he finds out that you are a Japanese spy. But the problem is that more than a dozen spies have encountered the same thing. Is there such a coincidence in the world?
