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

Through the conversation on the plane, Li Shaoyi also realized that Secretary Yao really wanted to accomplish this thing, otherwise he would not have come all the way to Peking. You know, the north is not peaceful. Compared with Nanjing, not many people are willing to come to the north to gild themselves. This is really dangerous.

When the plane landed in Peiping, Gu Xiaomeng was already waiting there. After all, it was something Li Shaoyi had instructed him to do, so it would be better to take it seriously.

"Welcome, Secretary Yao."

Holding their hands together, Li Shaoyi even had an illusion: Could it be that all the men in the party and the country have gone to eat idle meals? How come all the work of setting up the intelligence network in the north is done by women?

"Chief Gu, I'll need your help in the future."

The two had met each other in Jinling before, and they were both beauties of the same level. Even if they had never met, they had heard of each other more or less. At this moment, the two were as close as sisters, but Li Shaoyi always felt that something was different.

"Why are you in Peking?"

Li Shaoyi looked at the other welcoming staff, most of whom were from the Peking Police Station and Office, but Zhao Tiezhu's appearance in this place surprised Li Shaoyi.

This guy is currently the commander of the Third Brigade, and his troops are stationed in 22 counties in eastern Hebei. His main task is to keep an eye on the Zizhulin Concession in Tianjin.

During this period, Li Shaoyi focused his main attention on the Japanese troops in the Northeast, so the Japanese troops in North China were not allowed to take any action, including not being allowed to increase their troops, and even the number of Japanese ronin in North China could not be increased.

"I don't have much to do over there. I just heard you're back from Nanjing, so I came to meet you by train and talk about something else."

Zhao Tiezhu said a little embarrassedly that as the person with the highest military rank present, he should stand at the front of the team even if he was welcoming Li Shaoyi, but this guy actually ran to the back. It was obvious that this matter could not be brought to the table for discussion.

After greeting the people around him, Li Shaoyi got into his own car, Zhao Tiezhu also got into the passenger seat, and Wang Manli went to take another car. It was obvious that she had something to say.

"Don't say anything, the Third Brigade's mission is to stay in North China."

Zhao Tiezhu was about to talk about something else, but unexpectedly Li Shaoyi knocked on the back seat of the co-pilot, extinguishing all the anger in this guy.

As his subordinate, how could Li Shaoyi not know what Zhao Tiezhu meant by coming here? Both the First and Second Brigades had the opportunity to make achievements. Seeing that the battle in the north was about to begin, the dark clouds of war were already descending.

But apart from training, the Third Brigade was rotating around in North China.

According to Zhao Tiezhu, the amount of gasoline burned was enough for taking a shower and could fill several swimming pools, but there was no chance to go to the battlefield. He could only keep an eye on the thousands of Japanese devils in Tianjin. Even if he killed them several times, it would probably be enough.

"Commander, I didn't say we should send all the Third Brigade. At least mobilize one or two regiments, or even a reinforced battalion. Look at the rumors circulating in the ranks right now. They say our Third Brigade is being taken care of by a stepmother. Every effort is done by the First and Second Brigades, and we're just sitting around waiting for free meals."

Zhao Tiezhu said with some frustration, tears were about to fall out. There were four brigades in the 72nd Division, and the other three brigades had their own things to do. Only Zhao Tiezhu's army had been stationed in the same place, and the orders they received were to train continuously, but when would this training end?

"How can a soldier listen to gossip? You have to know that this is our base. Do you understand what base means? It's where we made our fortune. Even though we have occupied such a large area in the north, there are only a few civilians in such a large area. Most of our soldiers were recruited from your territory. The 29th Army was so poor that they had to sell pants. Now that we have occupied North China, life is better. This is the place I value most. What's the point of raising a child with a stepmother?"

What Li Shaoyi said was true. Although the North occupied a lot of land, it was basically impossible to recruit soldiers locally.

Among the twenty-two counties occupied by Zhao Tiezhu, almost every county had a population of hundreds of thousands, and many people had no food to eat. Whenever there was conscription, this county would always account for the majority.

"When I came here, I gave my brothers a military order. They will definitely choose one of our troops to go to the battlefield. This time, it will definitely be a big battle. One more of us won't make any difference, and we won't lose any of us. What's more, our Third Brigade is fully staffed."

As Zhao Tiezhu spoke, he took out the list from his pocket.

"You've really been busy. I asked you to train hard, and you've built a big enough team for me. I should give you the title of division commander."

Li Shaoyi looked at the organization table in Zhao Tiezhu's hand and immediately became happy.

Being able to make achievements on the front line and to strengthen yourself in the rear is the difference between the front line and the rear.

According to the regular organization, there are only more than 10,000 people at most. Add some miscellaneous organizations and it will be more than 20,000 people at most. But what has Zhao Tiezhu developed his Third Brigade into? More than 20,000 people need to be doubled.

"How many have passed the recruit assessment?"

The assessment system for new recruits formulated by Li Shaoyi is very strict, including training in physical fitness, shooting and other aspects.

Some officers in military academies also said that if you can pass the 72nd Division's recruit assessment and don't panic on the battlefield, you can definitely exchange one for one with the Japanese.

Coupled with the advantage of weapons, one for two is a basic exchange.

"These three regiments, plus the 1st and 2nd Independent Battalions, have all passed the recruit assessment."

As soon as Zhao Tiezhu saw that there was a way, he took out a pen and made a mark.

"Very good. You've done a great job training the troops this time, but you can't bring too many people with you. The Independence Battalion will continue to move closer to Peking. This time I won't be flying back north. Let the First Independent Battalion come with me and take a long bus ride for training."

When Zhao Tiezhu heard that only one battalion was being brought with him, he was somewhat dissatisfied. However, upon seeing the look in Li Shaoyi's eyes, he finally had no choice but to accept it.

Zhao Tiezhu's independent battalion has a total of 1,500 people.

Li Shaoyi now thought of Chu Yunfei's battalion, which had nearly two thousand people. It seemed that in terms of assembling troops, we still had a gap with the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, whose regiment had only five thousand people.

Long-distance bus training was a rare event in the 72nd Division's combat history. We were going to cross hundreds of kilometers from here to the northern grasslands. If we succeeded, our Third Brigade would finally have made a name for itself. When Zhao Tiezhu got off the bus, a smile was already on his face...
