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

In fact, this regulation existed when the security team was originally established. Except for being able to go home on Saturdays or Sundays, everyone else had to maintain quasi-military operations. Now it's just that the matter has been made more strict, and there won't be much objection from those below.

It is no wonder that Li Shaoyi wanted to recruit people from the security corps. There were 22 security corps in Jidong, and since not all of them were occupied in Rehe, only 16 security corps were formed, which added up to 38 security corps.

There are an average of 2,000 people in each group, which means there are nearly 80,000 people.

More than a month ago, the security corps was basically full, and now there are still many people queuing up behind it. If the regular soldiers of the security corps are willing to join the regular army, the security corps can be quickly replenished.

"Regarding the establishment of the militia, I have also drawn up an outline. We will try to establish a militia in every village. During normal times, we will also organize some young and strong men from the village for training. There are countless bandits around here. If we can train them, it will also be considered as protecting the safety of our property."

The Chief of Staff also thought of another thing. Since we want to build our area into a rear base, these things must be put on the agenda.

"I have absolutely no objection to this, but regarding the militia's weapons and equipment, we should try to rely mainly on captured weapons and equipment. For example, we obtained quite a few Type 38 rifles this time, which can be handed over to the militia."

Li Shaoyi had no objection to the development of militia. Take Rehe for example. The Japanese only controlled a few large cities and some county towns, but the towns were not in their hands.

There are plenty of armed forces everywhere. Some people can even run rampant in an entire town with just a dozen guns.

Now if each village has a militia that is inclined towards us, on the one hand it can provide us with a stable source of manpower, and on the other hand it can also ensure the safety of the people at home.

"That's what I wanted to say. When distributing weapons, we must also ask the security groups to conduct a thorough investigation. We must not distribute weapons to people who are not ours. Right now, everywhere is in chaos."

The chief of staff was taking notes as he spoke. When this chapter was turned over, the matter was over. Everyone said that the 72nd Division was very efficient, and they should really be allowed to come to the scene to take a look.

The next topic is about Chahar.

Before, because there was a war in Rehe, we didn't pay attention to Chahar. Now the Japanese troops have switched to a defensive position, and Chahar behind us also has to be put on the agenda.

"The Japanese army in Chahar is not numerous, but there are a large number of traitors. According to intelligence investigations, the total number of Japanese troops in Chahar is only about 4,000 to 5,000 at most. But if you include these traitors, the number is much higher, at least 30,000 to 50,000."

The Chief of Staff has already made a brief investigation of Chahar.

"The traitor troops are useless. We have fought all the way here. Of all the traitor troops we encountered, only a few were useful. Most of them surrendered honestly after hearing our gunfire."

Liu Xiaoshan said nonchalantly that this was the situation in the Jidong Autonomous Government and in Rehe as well.

"Perhaps it's different in Chahar. Many people in Chahar have been ruling the land for many years. They support the Japanese to protect their own territory. So if we fight the Japanese alone, these people may turn a blind eye. But if we take over their territory, I'm afraid they will fight us to the death."

The Japanese occupation of Chahar was only a nominal occupation, and the local warlords were also at odds with each other.

But what the Japanese wanted was a nominal occupation. When the passage was cut off, the Japanese army in Chahar had actually become an isolated force. Except for high-level generals who could still travel by plane, everyone else had been isolated.

"No matter what, since we are no longer engaged in a large-scale war in Rehe, we must definitely take back Chahar. Thirty-seven counties, eighteen banners..."

A smile appeared on Li Shaoyi's face, and those present understood what that smile meant. It represented the fifty-five security teams.

If we take over Chahar, our apparent strength will rise again. Of course, what it will actually look like depends on our gradual operations. The Japanese have been beaten so hard that they dare not confront the enemy head-on, so Chahar is our gain in this war.

"Chahar's total armed forces are around 40,000 strong, plus 5,000 devils. It's neither difficult nor tough to defeat them."

The chief of staff made a summary and returned the decision-making power to Li Shaoyi.

"First, we should persuade the military and political leaders of various regions in Chahar. If they are willing to submit to the Nanjing National Government, wouldn't it save us a lot of trouble? They also know how powerful we are after fighting in Rehe for a while."

Li Shaoyi planned to use courtesy first and then force. Often, if a piece of paper could do the job, there was no need to let his men bleed.

"That's a good idea. I don't believe all the warlords in Chahar are tough. Even if there are a few who are weak, we can still gain a lot of advantages."

Tang Guoping and the others also raised their hands in agreement. After all, we've been demonstrating the prestige of the 72nd Division for quite some time now. Everyone across the country knows this. Haven't you seen how many Japanese soldiers have become our prisoners? If you think you're tough enough, you can test it on the battlefield. I just don't know if you have the guts.

When neither side wanted to fight, a strange situation arose in Rehe. The Japanese occupied the remaining quarter of the land, and Li Shaoyi occupied three-quarters of the land in Rehe.

Although there were conflicts between the two sides, the scale was controlled at around a few hundred people. The 72nd Division needed internal development, and the Japanese were simply intimidated as Li Shaoyi said.

So under such circumstances, Rehe ushered in a rare peace.

Of course, the Japanese are not fools. They know that this peace is only temporary and they have to find something to do for the 72nd Division.

The joint efforts of the North and the South prevented the 72nd Division from concentrating its forces to attack the remaining Japanese strongholds in Rehe.

The people in Jinling in the south have put in a lot of effort, but no one is willing to step forward at this time, so they can only pin their hopes on the north.

Those Huns in the north...

Those rebellious Huns...

They also don't want such a powerful neighbor around them.

The Russians further north probably don't want that even more.
