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

"After all, this is the Navy Headquarters..."

Seeing that Deng Jiugong was speechless, Ma Leizi was still unwilling to give up. He had read the newspaper. The reporter's photography skills were really good. With the Bund as the background, he took a picture of our heavy cruiser, and there were two destroyers from other countries next to it. Our warships really looked very majestic. If this was taken near the port of Qingdao, it would be so exciting.

"Stop rambling. You're in charge of the Army and Air Force. Navy matters are more specialized, so let Old Deng handle them himself. I can determine the Navy's operational direction for you. Under the cover of the Air Force, you'll conduct near-shore defense. Small ships are easier to maneuver. A 10,000-ton cruiser is already the largest. I can add two more. Of course, the most important thing is submarines; they're our key to victory."

Li Shaoyi took out a folder, which was the Qingdao Coastal Defense Outline, which was personally drawn up by Li Shaoyi on the way back.

To put it bluntly, it is also the outline of the entire Longguo coastal defense. This thing refers to some combat experience of the Junkers and uses submarines to defend our country's coastal waters.

Japan is an island country. When they attack us, they will definitely need ocean transportation. Our coastline is very long and narrow. If the Japanese really break in, it is impossible for them to put all the supplies in one port. They will definitely be scattered in certain ports in various provinces. At this time, their escort fleet will have to disperse. As long as our submarines find the right opportunity to conduct drills in advance, they can send them directly to the sea before the Japanese land.

Moreover, according to Li Shaoyi's idea, even if we exchange one of our submarines for one of their troop transport ships, it would be worth it. Although this calculation method is a bit tragic, in order to prevent our country from suffering 35 million casualties, Li Shaoyi believes that necessary sacrifices are acceptable.

A war caused 35 million casualties to a country, which took many years to recover from. This is also an important reason for our backwardness in the following decades.

"Marshal, there's nothing wrong with this defense outline, but I still have a question. If the Japanese don't come, then all our preparations will be in vain, won't they?"

Deng Jiugong has been thinking about one question. The last time a Japanese aircraft carrier was sunk, the Japanese should have come to take revenge. But such a long time has passed, and except for a few Mao spies, no one has come. Have the Japanese given up?

"Don't worry about this. Japan has long determined their expansion plan. First, they will occupy Korea, then Northeast China, then North China, and then East China. All of my country's coastal areas are among their targets. If the Japanese don't implement this plan, many people will probably commit suicide by seppuku."

Li Shaoyi did not blame Deng Jiugong for having such a strange idea. In fact, many people in the country currently have such an idea. In their view, Japan basically did not win any victory in the process of fighting with the 72nd Army. The Japanese suffered heavy losses. Perhaps because of the addition of the 72nd Army, Japan is not going to bully us anymore.

In fact, this is impossible. Although Japan ranks at the bottom among the great powers, its comprehensive national strength is much stronger than ours. It is only the loss of a few divisions, which is still bearable for Japan.

Japan never took the lives of its soldiers seriously, and the army didn't have many heavy weapons. Losing a few soldiers was just a matter of recruiting more, but if the navy suffered heavy losses, it would be a real pain in the ass, because the country lacked steel and other resources. The navy was a big spender on resources.

"That's just what I was saying. Lately, our air force has been constantly attacking targets in the Northeast, causing considerable damage to the Japanese. The most recent was last Thursday, when our air force attacked a transport convoy off the Liaodong Peninsula, destroying a Japanese destroyer, a light cruiser, and three merchant ships. The damage was significant, but the Japanese, still acting as they always have, haven't shown much of a reaction."

As more and more victories were won, ideas similar to Deng Jiugong's began to spread in the military camp. Although the Japanese would often attack us and planes from both sides bombed each other, it was obvious that the Japanese were far behind in technology and their pilots' training was no match for ours.

According to the intelligence Natasha had obtained, the number of flight hours of Japanese pilots was only about half of ours, and some even had less than one-third. So although those Japanese pilots joined the team longer, their actual training time was far behind ours. The fundamental reason for this was that they had to buy all the fuel, while we only needed Li Shaoyi's system supply.

"That's because they're not ready. If they were, a war would probably start, and we would have to fully commit to it."

Li Shaoyi glanced at the calendar next to him and saw that there was less than a month left.

Everything has changed, but we don't know how Japan will launch the war. If our side is really the main attack direction of Japan, then we have to thank God. Just based on the iron turtle made by Ma Leizi, if the Japanese want to put all their efforts into attacking Qingdao, their front teeth will be knocked out.

A county seat in Peking

"Our exercise personnel disappeared nearby. They must have been abducted by your people. We requested to enter the county to search, but we only allowed one squadron of troops."

A Japanese officer said angrily that the people in front of him were the 3rd Battalion of the 219th Regiment of the 29th Army.

"We didn't see any Japanese soldiers entering the city. The two city gates surrounding our county are strictly guarded by our soldiers, so your suspicions are unfounded, and you have no evidence to prove that they entered our city."

Although the 29th Army has been pushing back against the Japanese invasion, it now has nowhere to retreat. You have to know that when the 72nd Army was stationed here, how could the Japanese have the courage to speak in such a tone? Now that the 72nd Army has left, the Japanese are slowly spreading from Tianjin. I don't know who in Nanjing had the brains to let the 72nd Army leave. If the 72nd Army hadn't left, how could we have encountered such a situation? We wouldn't have to face the Japanese directly.
