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

Japanese front-line headquarters.

"Ha Yi, please rest assured, Commander. I will handle this matter properly and will not cause any local conflict. Currently, there is no information indicating that the 72nd Division is withdrawing troops. The troops in Rehe are still mainly composed of the newly transferred 4th Brigade, with the 3rd Brigade as an auxiliary."

As the chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, Muto Koichirō had been scolded for half an hour. It was because of his inappropriate behavior that the current situation occurred. He originally just wanted to put on an act for the Russians, but he didn't expect that a real fight would break out.

The most important thing is that the matter has become a big deal. It was reported in the newspapers, making the Japanese feel like they were sitting on fire. The more than one hundred soldiers who died could not just end like this without a result, but if they demanded a result from Zhang Maozi and his people, perhaps even more people would die.

"Mr. Chief of Staff, how should this matter be resolved?"

Anton Maobei, Chief of Staff of the Rehe Front, said with a grim expression.

The commander returned to Japan for a meeting. Now the two chiefs of staff are in charge in Rehe. One is the chief of staff of the Kwantung Army and the other is the chief of staff of the Rehe Front Army. However, the Rehe Front Army was separated from the Kwantung Army, so it still has to listen to the Kwantung Army.

"The commander's message is very clear. War is impossible. We are not ready yet. It seems we have to bow our heads."

Muto Koichirō said solemnly that they didn't know when it started, but now they have to bow their heads everywhere, and they all bow to the people of the 72nd Division.

"It turns out that Han Rongfa, the president of Fengtian University, is currently helping us. Why don't we ask him to mediate? If we negotiate directly, I'm afraid we won't get the desired effect. We can secretly compensate them with a sum of money. The people of the 72nd Division are very easy to talk to as long as they see money."

Anton Maobei thought for a while and said, he has been in China for quite some time and knows how things are done here. When the North China Expeditionary Army has a conflict with the 72nd Division, as long as they are willing to pay compensation, they will not suffer too much embarrassment in the end.

Of course, that was in the past, when the 72nd Division was not that strong. Now, in Rehe alone, tens of thousands of troops are stretched out at the border, and it is not known whether the previous tactics are still useful.

This Brigade Commander Zhang Maozi was originally the director of the Beijing Railway Station Police Station. He bullied foreigners there a lot, especially the Japanese.

indemnity!

These two words appeared in Muto Koichirō's mind. In the past, the Chinese had to compensate us, but now we have to pay them!

"Go and do this immediately. Have Han Rongfa fly to the front lines on a military aircraft to mediate this matter on our behalf. Also, notify the embassy in Nanjing and mobilize our people within the Nationalist government to minimize this military conflict."

Muto Koichirō also knew that the people from Jinling might not be useful, but now he was desperate and had to try any possible means. He couldn't miss any opportunity to help.

When Anton Maobei was about to go out, a military staff officer hurried in from outside. Both of them felt a pang in their hearts. It seemed that the people of the 72nd Division had already started to move.

"Reporting to His Excellency the Chief of Staff, the 4th Brigade of the 72nd Division has dispatched an armored regiment and an infantry regiment, with two security regiments on each flank providing cover. They are already charging towards us aggressively."

While the combat staff was speaking, he also marked the participating troops on the map. Currently, there are only four regiments of troops, but considering the combat effectiveness of the 72nd Division, the strength of these four regiments is not bad.

"I'll go and invite Han Rongfa over..."

Anton Maobei was about to run away.

"You useless idiot! Don't you know the 72nd Division's attack speed? By the time they arrive from Fengtian, our front might have already been breached. Immediately order the 123rd Division into combat mode and hold the line. Don't allow them to initiate an attack, but don't allow the 72nd Division to break through either."

Muto Koichirō was a soldier, so of course he knew what to do at this moment. Although he knew that the 72nd Division had strong offensive power, the 123rd Division had also been replenished and was now defending in the direction of attack.

Anton Maobei realized later why others could become the chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, while he could only temporarily serve as the chief of staff of the Rehe Front Army.

In this situation, they are coming here aggressively, and you are still thinking about how to negotiate. What can you expect from them?

"Didn't their air force bomb our positions?"

Muto Koichirō suddenly thought of another thing. When the 72nd Division fought, they would inevitably dispatch their superior air force to carry out covering bombing on the enemy positions. This time, no sound seemed to be heard.

"Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, according to the investigation results of some people from the Special High Technology Department, it seems that their main aircraft have all been sent to the Xiongnu Steppe. Currently, there are less than 150 combat aircraft left in Rehe."

The operations staff pulled out another report from the folder. This was discovered by the Kwantung Army's Special High Technology Department. It has not been confirmed yet, after all, the time is too short.

"Yoshi! God bless our great Japan! Since their air force is in Rehe, immediately go to the First Flying Division and convey my order. Tell them to come out in full force. We will do as the Chinese say and give them a taste of their own medicine for the previous surprise attack on our airport."

This guy really respects Chinese culture and can speak some cool words at critical moments.

Smiles appeared on the faces of others. This opportunity was very rare. Our First Aviation Division was almost crippled before. Now we finally got the chance to take revenge. Let you also taste the consequences of having no aircraft cover.

After receiving the order, the Japanese 1st Air Division quickly took off and fought at various airports in western Liaoning. They all had smiles on their faces, determined to avenge their previous humiliation and to avenge the more than 300 senior pilots of the 1st Air Division.

At that time, the 1st Flying Division had only 642 pilots. After the battle with the 72nd Division, 355 pilots died.

Up to now, the 1st Flying Division has not been able to recover its peak combat effectiveness. Now, with the main force of the 72nd Division Aviation Brigade heading north, it can finally take advantage of the situation.

The 4th Brigade's front-line command post.

"Reporting to the Brigade Commander, the Military Intelligence Department's spies in western Liaoning have sent back a telegram stating that the Japanese 1st Aircraft Division has been tricked and has dispatched over 60% of its combat aircraft in an attempt to take over our airfields in one fell swoop."

After hearing his men's report, Zhang Maozi's face also showed a smile of amusement, but how to fight in the air still depends on Li Qiankun's decision...
