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

If Major General Inoue had been more meticulous, had his subordinates investigate more thoroughly, and had their reports be more realistic, then the Japanese defeat in Rehe would probably not have been so serious.

But this guy made up this lie in order to highlight his own achievements and at the same time was afraid of being abandoned.

Masao Tanimoto also received intelligence that the reason why Li Shaoyi attacked Aohan fiercely was purely to embarrass him, and in fact, the preparations were not that sufficient.

I hadn't been able to find any facts to verify my intelligence before, but now, Inoue Fuxiong's report just confirmed it. Li Shaoyi's attack on Aohan was a hasty one, without much preparation at all.

Otherwise, why would they use the Security Brigade? Although he had not yet engaged the 72nd Division head-on, he knew that the Security Brigade was a second-line army. If they really wanted to attack Aohan, they should have used their regular troops.

The second-line army attacked hastily and did not have sufficient weapons and equipment. This was definitely an opportunity for Masao Tanimoto.

This guy had previously issued an order for all Japanese troops in Rehe Province to quickly move towards Aohan. Now he immediately strengthened the order issued before. No matter how severe the obstruction of the troops on the road was, they must reach Aohan within the specified time. Anyone who delays will be executed immediately.

After receiving the order, each unit urged their men to advance quickly. Since the Second Security Brigade was not strong, we would swallow up the entire Second Security Brigade. Since the rise of Li Shaoyi, the Japanese have never won against him. If we can get rid of the entire Second Security Brigade, we can wash away the humiliation on our bodies.

Therefore, all the troops are now full of enthusiasm and are moving closer to Aohan as soon as possible.

On the other hand, when Zhang Haiguang led his men out of the city, Li Shaoyi no longer cared about the current battle situation, but stayed in the communications team, listening to reports from various places.

"Each unit must hold its own line of defense and bite them hard. No matter whether they are advancing or retreating, they must stick to us. Don't worry about the gains and losses of a city or a place. What we care about is their manpower. We must kill their manpower while they are on the move."

Li Shaoyi's fabrics were quickly delivered to every corner of the 72nd Division Army in Rehe Province through the communication network.

Since he started his career in the capital, Li Shaoyi has not paid attention to the gains and losses of territory, but has been constantly annihilating the Japanese army's manpower. As long as your people are dead, what does it matter even if the territory is yours?

Look at North China now. All Japanese troops are either hiding around the embassy or in the Zizhulin Concession in Tianjin. Their influence in other places has basically been cut off.

The previous unequal treaties were still in place, but as long as Li Shaoyi was not happy, the Japanese would probably not be able to leave even if they wanted to.

Now in Rehe, on the surface Li Shaoyi wants to take a photo in Aohan to embarrass Tanimoto Masao, but in fact he wants to use it as bait to make all the Japanese troops concentrate towards Aohan. But on the way to the concentration, our army is going to launch a sniper attack.

Let the troops disperse and have no chance to form a fist, so that we can concentrate our superior forces to defeat them one by one.

Ningcheng

Most of Tang Guoping's First Brigade is currently being reorganized, but it can still provide a regiment of troops.

Passing through their defense zone were the Fujii Regiment and Miyamoto Regiment of the Japanese 13th Division.

When Tang Guoping received the order, the two Japanese infantry regiments, with nearly 8,000 people, had already advanced more than 20 kilometers.

It was 11 o'clock in the evening when Tang Guoping received the order. In just half an hour, his First Regiment was fully prepared for battle, and Tang Guoping personally led the First Regiment to attack.

Because Li Shaoyi's order was too hasty, they had no time to build a defensive position, so Tang Guoping turned defense into offense and led the first regiment directly towards the two infantry regiments.

On the northeast side of Ningcheng County, Tang Guoping's vanguard encountered the Miyamoto Regiment's guard troops.

The two sides exchanged fire directly in the middle of the night, but Tang Guoping's first regiment carried a lot of flares, which made the entire night as bright as day, so that our firepower advantage could be brought into play.

The Miyamoto Regiment's more than 70-member security force on this side didn't even send out a single warning message before they were torn to pieces by Tang Guoping's group.

In fact, Captain Miyamoto knew very well that the early warning function of this guard force was to use their lives to give warnings. Expecting you to deliver messages back on horseback was simply a joke. Could the people of the 72nd Division give you this opportunity?

The 1st Infantry Brigade of the 72nd Brigade was stationed in Ningcheng. Everyone knew that this was the unit where Li Shaoyi started his career.

The First Regiment was the most important, and passing through their defense zone was no different from going around the gates of hell. So when entering Ningcheng, the two infantry regiments maintained strict discipline and did not make any noise, hoping to pass through Ningcheng County quickly under the cover of darkness.

But unfortunately, Tang Guoping also sent out more than a dozen armored vehicles to conduct reconnaissance in the direction where the Japanese were going to pass. After discovering traces of the Japanese advance, Tang Guoping quickly discovered the Japanese traces through paper work and reconnaissance vehicles throughout the county.

The main force of the first regiment charged forward directly.

Looking at the battlefield in the distance with flames rising into the sky, Captain Miyamoto bit his lip. He had wanted to pass through quickly, but he didn't expect that they would not give us the opportunity.

"Reporting to the commander, Colonel Fujii has sent someone to ask whether we should speed through or fight on the spot?"

Both regiment commanders had the rank of colonel, but Colonel Miyamoto had more seniority, so he was appointed commander of this temporary team.

"Go tell Colonel Fujii in person that my Miyamoto Regiment will stay behind to stop the troops in front of us and have them advance quickly towards Aohan. We must help General Inoue defend Aohan, as it concerns the reputation of the entire Kwantung Army."

Colonel Miyamoto knew very well that in this situation, if two infantry regiments fled together, these people would stick to you in armored vehicles and launch attacks from time to time. For every kilometer they advanced, perhaps one or two hundred people would leave behind their bodies.

In this case, I'm afraid that even if everyone died, you wouldn't be able to see a single hair of Aohan.

If both infantry regiments stayed, they would lose regardless of victory or defeat. After all, the order from above was to support Aohan. What's the point of winning here?

What's more, they all knew that Li Shaoyi was planning to take photos in Aohan...
