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

According to Li Shaoyi's original idea, our submarine force could hide in the offshore waters without being noticed, and wait for the opportunity to attack the enemy warships when they arrive.

Senior generals in the navy also agreed, but when the plan began to be implemented, someone soon discovered something was wrong.

The development of the submarine force is completely different from that of other arms. It requires long-term accumulation. The Junkers can implement this tactic because they accumulated several rooms of information during the last world war.

Although some important things have been delivered to us, it is not easy to put what is written on paper into practice. It is not that our people are not working hard, but that there is too little time.

So apart from the initial results of the troop transport ship, the rest of the results can be said to be very few. If it weren't for our people running fast, perhaps our submarine would have been sunk and the only submarine soldiers would have suffered losses.

So in this situation, Deng Jiugong immediately terminated the action and made a deep self-examination to Li Shaoyi. Li Shaoyi did not blame the senior naval officials. After all, it was not entirely their fault. The entire combat strategy was first proposed by Li Shaoyi, and the actual situation was not taken into consideration at the time. Now it seems that we were too aggressive.

"Commander?"

Wang Manli's voice called Li Shaoyi out of his thoughts. Li Shaoyi had just called Wang Manli over to record the order. He looked up at the clock on the wall and saw that seven or eight minutes had passed. Wang Manli had been holding a notebook. He didn't know what Li Shaoyi was thinking about. During these seven or eight minutes, Li Shaoyi frowned and said a few words from time to time, as if he was possessed by an evil spirit.

"Notify all troops within 35 kilometers of the coast to bomb their respective positions and then retreat."

After hearing Li Shaoyi's order, the entire headquarters' combat staff was shocked. If that was the case, we had spent so much effort to hold our positions some time ago, but now we were just going to give them up? Beneath those positions were the remains of countless of our martyrs.

"Marshal, our planes are ready and can bomb the Japanese fleet at any time. There is no need to withdraw so many positions, right? If that happens, the Japanese can quickly land along the coast. It is hard to say how many Japanese troops will attack at that time."

A combat staff officer said anxiously, marking it on the map while speaking. The coastal area that is dozens of kilometers long is also our key defense area. If we retreat in full force, the Japanese will be very happy. They can land whenever and wherever they want.

"I understand what you mean, but we must be responsible for our soldiers. You haven't seen the power of naval guns. If one or two warships survive, it will be fatal to our army, especially the large-caliber naval guns. The firing speed is so fast that it can almost catch up with one or two artillery battalions."

In fact, Li Shaoyi had never seen it, but he had read some historical materials. During the Battle of Shanghai, the naval guns of the Japanese battleships provided strong support to their land forces. One shell weighed nearly one ton. When it fell to the ground, even one of our infantry companies could be wiped out. So Li Shaoyi could not gamble at this time.

If our air force can bomb their warships, then we will naturally be able to hold on. But if they cannot, or can only bomb part of them, even a destroyer with a 127mm artillery caliber can cause considerable damage to our position. So Li Shaoyi cannot gamble with the lives of my brothers.

Everyone knew what Li Shaoyi said was true, but after defending the position for so many days, were we going to retreat just because of this naval squadron? The staff of the headquarters all thought so, and the officers and soldiers stationed there were probably even more confused.

"Cheer up, everyone. What's with that look on your face? I only said to withdraw temporarily. I didn't say to give up these places. Our army is quite mobile. After the coastal troops withdraw, we can select some of the better troops from among them. When the Japanese troops squeeze in here, we can form small units one after another. Each small unit will be around 800 to 1,000 people. We can constantly carry out interspersed attacks on the Japanese. At that time, we will be mixed in with the Japanese army. Their naval guns will be useless, and we are armed to the teeth. In our interspersed operations, the Japanese army will suffer more casualties. I can't think of any other ability they have."

Li Shaoyi saw that everyone's morale was a little low. Of course, this was understandable. After all, there had not been such a large-scale retreat since we arrived in Tianjin. Then he expressed his other idea, and everyone's eyes lit up after hearing it.

What Li Shaoyi said is absolutely correct. Our army is mainly composed of tanks and armored vehicles, supplemented by jeeps and armed trucks. As long as we choose some flat areas, then this will be our best battlefield. The Japanese have just landed from the sea and it is impossible for them to set up too many fire points and trenches, so for us, this is the best place to kill them.

"Marshal, you should have told us earlier. When we convey the order to our subordinates, we should have told them this idea. Otherwise, no one will be happy."

Smiles appeared on the faces of the staff officers, and some of them knew that they would not convey the orders, so they hurried to work on the map to see how many small teams should be divided.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense and hurry up to convey the order. At the same time, order the Air Force to open a passage for the bombers first."

The air force's operations are becoming increasingly difficult. Recently, the Russian Air Force has been constantly invading the border in the north. Some planes have even flown over the Xiongnu grasslands in order to attract our air force in the north and prevent them from taking it.

The old rivals, Japan and Russia, unexpectedly stood together again because of Li Shaoyi's rise. Li Shaoyi also wanted to pull the Russians over and ask, "You did so much for the Japanese, but what benefits did they give you? In the end, they occupied the land here, and did you get a share of the benefits?"

Following Li Shaoyi's order, the propellers of dozens of combat aircraft at the airport began to move...
