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

It has to be said that during the time when Li Shaoyi was away, Ma Leizi was really not idle. The entire Qingdao Naval and Air Force Base has made great progress in all aspects.

Of course, in addition to the 20 million oceans spent, nearly 3,000 people were worked to death. These people were either Russian prisoners of war or captured Japanese spies and businessmen. The purpose of these people's existence was to improve our conditions, but Li Shaoyi did not expect so many people to die in such a short time. It can be seen how cruel the environment was at that time.

"Your method is a bit cruel. I brought people from the north to you for long-term development. It's only been a short time, and you've already exhausted over 3,000 people to death. Don't even mention that there's no war in the north right now. Even if there were a war, your method wouldn't be enough to sustain them."

Li Shaoyi looked at the number in front of him and said speechlessly, of course it was not because he felt sorry for the Russian prisoners of war and Japanese businessmen, but because Ma Leizi's way of doing things really could not be sustainably developed.

According to Li Shaoyi's long-term plan, Qingdao has only reached the mid-term stage of development. If the losses are to be so great, the major prisoner-of-war camps in the north will simply supply you with goods. Don't other places need prisoner-of-war labor?

"Brother, it's different there than here. Take our northern territories, for example. They're all connected, so we don't have to worry about being attacked. But it's different here. We're isolated. There's the danger of the Japanese on the sea, and the threat of the Nationalist army inland."

When Ma Leizi saw Li Shaoyi like this, he immediately started to complain.

Li Shaoyi was well aware of the threat posed by the Japanese, but he had not thought about the other national army troops in eastern Shandong Province.

Currently stationed in eastern Shandong Province is the Third Army of the National Army. It sounds like a big name, but in fact it is all made up of a ragtag army. There are not many central troops. This army has always been thinking about the tax revenue in Qingdao, so after Ma Leizi captured Qingdao, the conflict between the two sides was very normal.

"I know this so-called Third Army is formidable, but Commander Han is no fool. Looking at the state of your men, if they dare to continue to tangle with you, they'll be courting death. Stop telling me these useless things. While the construction is proceeding quickly, we still need to pay attention. The lives of these prisoners are important. If they all die, you'll have to carry your tools and charge forward on your own in the future."

Li Shaoyi was very familiar with the situation in eastern Shandong Province. It was true that these people were dishonest, but to say that they dared to attack Qingdao, which was heavily guarded, was pure nonsense.

Commander Han is a veteran warlord in the country who has performed outstandingly in various civil wars. If such a person cannot distinguish the situation and fights everywhere, he is simply brainless.

Of course, Li Shaoyi did not have a good impression of this person, mainly because in the upcoming full-scale war, the Japanese had just entered the territory of Ludong Province. This guy had an army of 100,000 under his command, but he did not think about how to resist. Instead, he retreated quickly and handed over the entire Ludong Province to the Japanese.

This can be said to be the largest-scale defeat in the early days of the War of Resistance Against Japan. If this guy had continued to resist in Shandong Province, he would never have allowed the Japanese to advance so quickly.

"Yes, yes, I'll change it later. But you underestimated Commander Han. Since I arrived, he's been sending me telegrams every three days and phone calls every five days. He keeps asking me to go to the provincial capital for meetings. His place is like a den of dragons and tigers. How could I dare to go there?"

Ma Leizi is usually fearless and dares to provoke any kind of things, but he is a little bit stupid. When he arrives at the territory of Commander Han in Ludong Province, he no longer has the final say. Although the other party may not dare to put him under house arrest, Ma Leizi heard while watching a play that a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.

Although I am not a gentleman, my brother asked me to defend Qingdao. This is an important task and I can't just leave here casually.

"You're right, kid. These warlords in this country don't have much of a bottom line when doing things. If they really arrest you, I'm afraid a conflict will arise between us. This guy is a tough nut to crack. I will negotiate with him through Jinling and try not to cause trouble for us."

At this stage, the Japanese have set their sights on Qingdao and may attack you at any time. If you are still worried about the enemy behind you, Ma Leizi will indeed not be able to cope with it.

"Then hurry up. Last Tuesday, two infantry regiments were no more than 900 meters away from our position, showing off their might. To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that we're all Chinese, I would have paid for them with a single round of artillery fire."

Ma Leizi took out a folder from the side, which clearly recorded that last Tuesday, the Third Army sent troops eastward and conducted exercises in an area near Qingdao. Two infantry regiments had exceeded the exercise area and were less than 900 meters away from our front line. This was actually a military provocation.

This is the same as what Ma Leizi said. We all belong to the National Army and there were no conflicts between us before. If you were the Japanese or other troops, and you came so close to our army without notifying us, don't blame me for letting you down.

"You're quite capable, kid. Your endurance is much better than before. If it were before, I think you would have started fighting. The two surrounding artillery regiments didn't open fire, which is quite impressive."

Li Shaoyi was praising his younger brother highly. After all, according to Ma Leizi's way of doing things, you have stepped on my face, and you want me to stay where I am. Isn't this a joke?

What's more, Ma Leizi is so powerful that there is no need to mobilize the air force in the direction where that infantry regiment is advancing. Our two artillery regiments alone can instantly blow you up so that you won't be able to tell east from west and south from north.

Then the armored infantry will quickly attack and separate you. In just over an hour, your infantry regiment will be captured, and more than half of them will surely be killed or wounded.

But Ma Leizi heard from Li Shaoyi that the full-scale war of resistance was about to break out. We are all sons and daughters of my country, and at that time we may have to support each other on the battlefield. So when facing our army, we should be more tolerant. But if you really want to shit on our heads, then we can only send you to the hell to queue up.
