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

Before Li Shaoyi left Pujiang, he discussed something with Mr. Hans.

The war in the Xiongnu steppe would not stop, but he was worried that the Japanese would cut off his retreat, so he hoped that Western countries could intervene and put forward a request, which was Shanhaiguan and the Jingfeng Railway.

Li Shaoyi was very clear about the international situation of that era. Although the Japanese were acting aggressively, they still had to behave themselves in front of us and the major powers of the world.

If not for anything else, it is because their technology is not advanced enough. Right now, Japan is at a critical juncture in transferring Western technology to the country, so it is still very useful for Western countries to put pressure on it.

It was precisely because of this that when Mr. Hans asked Li Shaoyi on behalf of Western countries, Li Shaoyi also put forward a very difficult task, and it depended on whether they could complete it.

"Congratulations, my dear friend, on achieving such a great victory on the grasslands again. In my opinion, conquering the entire grassland is just around the corner."

When I picked up the phone, I heard Mr. Hans' congratulatory voice. From the voice, I could tell that there must have been some results.

"Mr. Hans' congratulations make me very sad. It's not for any other reason, but because my army suffered heavy losses after the war. The 32nd Division is the elite of the Russian Far East. In order to keep this army on the grassland, the losses we paid are immeasurable."

Li Shaoyi said very sadly that Mr. Hans opposite had also received a telegram from the Junker officers' delegation. Of course, part of it was acting. When Zhang Haiguang's people came back, they deliberately let many soldiers lie on stretchers, specifically for the Junker officers' corps to see.

In the report to Mr. Hans, the Junker Officers Corps made a rough estimate that in the battle against the 32nd Russian Division, Li Shaoyi's army lost at least 13,000 people, and they were the most elite troops.

According to their judgment, Li Shaoyi still has the ability to attack to the north, but he must be hesitant in his heart. After all, Li Shaoyi's strength compared to Luosha is visible to the naked eye. Their losses are so great just by killing one of the enemy's infantry divisions. In the upcoming large-scale battle, Li Shaoyi may have to retreat. This is also one of the reasons why Mr. Hans called.

"I know, I know. Mr. Li's army was formed too recently, and its foundation is not as strong as that of the Rakshasa Army. However, I, along with the Western nations, congratulate General Li on his victory. I will also provide him with a temporary war fund of 4.5 million taels..."

When he heard this, the corners of Li Shaoyi's mouth rose slightly. If Mr. Hans was standing here, he would probably punch Li Shaoyi. Your acting skills are really great.

"Thank you very much for your support. I need some quiet time now. These people all started their business with me in Peking. This battle wiped out half of my family's wealth..."

Li Shaoyi adjusted his mood and put on a very sad look. Mr. Hans could also hear it. In the past, when Li Shaoyi heard about financial assistance, he was so happy that he wanted to jump up, but at this moment, it seemed that the money was just a few coins and could not bring Li Shaoyi much happiness at all.

"Please wait a moment, Mr. Li. I know you are very sad now, but I have good news to tell you. Our various parties have made significant progress in their contacts with the Japanese. In exchange for technical support from our countries, the Japanese are willing to give up their jurisdiction over the railway from Peking to Shanhaiguan. However, in terms of giving up Shanhaiguan, these people..."

Li Shaoyi was very happy to hear what Mr. Hans said. Even if all his requirements were not met, at least the section of railway from Peking to Shanhaiguan would fall into his hands. The Japanese had been working hard for this for decades, but we just fought against the Russians, and the Western countries jointly put pressure on Japan.

Li Shaoyi sighed deeply after listening to this. Mr. Hans opposite him was also a little nervous. After all, Li Shaoyi's requirements had not been met, and now there were huge casualties on the battlefield. With more than 10,000 troops killed and wounded, in the eyes of the major Western powers, this was not considered a large-scale war.

But it was different on Li Shaoyi's side. They didn't know much about Li Shaoyi's situation, but they knew that a large number of security groups did not have much combat effectiveness, and only the main force had combat effectiveness. More than 10,000 people were lost in one battle, and it was definitely a heavy blow to Li Shaoyi.

"Don't worry, Mr. Li. I've already informed the Army Department back home. They're planning to send another 200 military instructors to help General Li rebuild his lost troops..."

Li Shaoyi also has systematic instructors under his command, who are even more powerful than the Junker instructors, but the Junker instructors are better at some ideological education than Li Shaoyi's systematic instructors.

From another perspective, the Junker army continued to send instructors to Li Shaoyi's army, which was equivalent to establishing a backing for Li Shaoyi. Before the outbreak of World War II, the Junkers still had a strong voice.

Especially in some parts of Europe, Western countries hoped that after the Junkers completed their military expansion, they would turn their spearheads and attack westwards. Therefore, Western countries adopted a policy of appeasement towards some of the Junkers' unreasonable expansion.

They used the territories and resources of the small countries to satisfy the Junkers' need to attack the Russians. Of course, by doing so, they also bought themselves insurance, that is, the Maginot Line of the Gallic Empire. They wanted to use this line to stop the Junkers. As for what the result was later, all the generals who have not traveled through time know it.

"thanks, thanks……"

Li Shaoyi was like an old man at this moment, with nothing but these two words in his mouth. Mr. Hans also frowned. Could it be that Li Shaoyi lost his fighting spirit because of this war?

"Go and get me the historical loss reports for the 72nd Army."

After hanging up the phone, Mr. Hans immediately ordered his secretary to get to work.

Soon they got some information they had. The 72nd Army had indeed fought many battles during its growth, but the losses were not great each time. If they really lost more than 12,000 people this time, it would definitely be a heavy blow to Li Shaoyi.

If this is really the case, support must be strengthened, otherwise Li Shaoyi will have to retreat...
