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

Through research over the past few days, Masao Tanimoto also discovered that during the battle with Li Shaoyi, they had always been fantasizing about having a few battles in which they could win with fewer troops, just like before, which could also boost their morale.

But the more carefully I studied it, the more I realized that this situation was not right. Not to mention a battle where the few defeated the many, even a battle where the many defeated the few would be fine.

There was almost nothing outstanding in the battle with Li Shaoyi. Even though they were defeated in the past, there were some outstanding performances in many battles. But now, even if you look through the battle records, you can't find them.

After thinking all night, this guy came to a conclusion that he should accumulate his strength to the strongest from the beginning so that he could still have a chance of winning. If he divided his troops and advanced, he would be defeated one by one by Li Shaoyi.

His strength was not strong enough before, but now he is terrifyingly strong. Four divisions?

Even if four more divisions were sent, they might not succeed.

"I haven't verified what you said yet, so I'll leave it here for now. I'll notify you as soon as I've verified it, but you can't stay in Fengtian any longer. Go to Rehe and stay with your army."

General Kudo closed the folder next to him and said, "No matter what you say today, we must march to the battlefield."

"But Commander, even if I were to go to the battlefield, we would still be no match for them. If a conflict were to occur, we would still be defeated..."

"Shut up! Where's your Bushido spirit? Just because you know you're going to lose, you're not going to fight? If that's the case, all the wars in the world could be written down on paper and compared on paper. Why bother fighting on the battlefield?"

Seeing Tanimoto Masao's timid look, General Kudo couldn't help but wonder, is this the commander of the 1st Division?

Although this guy hasn't gone to the battlefield yet, General Kudo seems to have already seen the defeat. With such a commander, it would be hard not to be defeated.

"But Commander, if we don't redeploy our forces, with our current strength, there's really no chance of victory. A few security regiments can wipe out a fully staffed infantry regiment. This is simply insane."

In the past, seeing the commander so angry, this guy would not have dared to continue even if he had the courage.

But the situation today is different. If you don't speak now, you may not even have the chance to speak after a while. Look at those who fought with Li Shaoyi. No matter what official position they held, they either died on the battlefield or were taken away by the military police. Some even committed suicide by cutting their stomachs.

Masao Tanimoto even had an idea that he had angered the commander today and might be directly dismissed from his post, which was much better than going to the battlefield.

"The headquarters has its own plans. Didn't I tell you that? New oil is being purchased and shipped, and new aircraft will soon be brought in on the Akagi to contain the new troops. The Empire is already training them."

General Kudo slammed the table in anger. He really couldn't bear it anymore. He originally wanted to maintain his image as a Confucian general, but seeing that the guy in front of him was so cowardly, he wanted to slap him twice.

"Go back. Leave Fengtian today. I will arrange for several reporters to follow you. You must have photos published tomorrow showing that you are on the Rehe front."

General Kudo directly ordered them to leave. Masao Tanimoto bent down in frustration and walked out. He originally wanted to seek help, but in the end he didn't take any soldiers with him and was scolded.

The Kwantung Army had no choice. It had announced sanctions against Li Shaoyi for such a long time, but there was no effect at all. Instead, an infantry regiment was wiped out by Li Shaoyi's security group.

Fortunately, the news was well suppressed. If this news leaked out, not only would the Japanese in Northeast China go crazy, but even those in the mainland would question the Kwantung Army, saying, "Aren't you the flower of the army? Aren't you the most powerful army in all of Japan? Now you can't even deal with a mere Li Shaoyi?"

"Commander, where does our plane land?"

Two hours later, Masao Tanimoto's plane had taken off and the pilot came over to ask where to land.

"Land in Aohan, hold a press conference, and then immediately return to the Northeast."

Masao Tanimoto said expressionlessly, "You guys really miscalculated if you want me to die."

"But, Commander, at headquarters..."

"I'm the commander here. After the press conference, the plane is not to return to Fengtian. It must land in Xinmin. Furthermore, this information must be strictly withheld from the outside world. Anyone who dares to leak this information will be shot."

Masao Tanimoto thought for a while and said that he was not allowed to stay in Fengtian, but he did not say that he could not stay in other places. It was simply unimaginable to let him stay in Rehe. This guy would never let himself stay in Rehe before other troops arrived. As the Chinese say, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.

Several security regiments can kill an infantry regiment after a long journey. If Li Shaoyi knows that he is in Rehe, he will send out such an assault force, coupled with the cooperation of the Air Force, and he will most likely be captured.

So in the current situation, people just do it to save face and leave as soon as they are done.

The surrounding combat staff were obviously relieved. They had been doing nothing else in the past few days and were investigating this matter for Division Commander Tanimoto, so they knew the most detailed details.

Some people even said that since the people in the Kwantung Army Headquarters looked down on Li Shaoyi so much, they should be allowed to fight on their own instead of staying in the rear and giving blind orders. Anyway, no bombs were dropped on the Kwantung Army Headquarters.

According to the original regulations, the Kwantung Army's pre-battle press conference should have been held near their front-line troops, but Tanimoto Masao was afraid of death and held the press conference in Aohan, more than 100 kilometers away from their front line.

Most of the invited reporters were Japanese reporters and pro-Japanese reporters. When they heard that they were not that close to the front line, they all breathed a sigh of relief. No one wanted to put their life in danger, but they hoped that Masao Ekimoto could create some front-line scenes at the press conference.

Masao Tanimoto immediately agreed to this request, so when the reporters entered the press conference, the burning waste tires around them had already produced a lot of black smoke...
