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

Minister He did not say anything when he heard Commander Bai's suggestive words. This was a mockery of their Central Army being inferior to the Pujiang Police Department. Since Li Shaoyi took control of the Pujiang Police Department, the police department had basically been involved in all kinds of events in Pujiang.

This time, the old man in charge of the battle around Pujiang has already spoken. If it is possible to prevent the 72nd Army from participating, they should not be allowed to participate. Now their influence in the country is higher than that of the central government.

The Battle of Tianjin was fought with great fanfare, killing more than 200,000 devils. Even the Japanese themselves admitted that they suffered nearly 200,000 casualties. The 72nd Army instantly became the number one warlord in the country. If it was not suppressed, the National Government would probably have no foothold.

Therefore, in this military operation in Pujiang, the old man decided to deploy elite troops from the beginning to let the whole country see that the elite troops of the National Government are not pushovers.

At the same time, we also wanted to end this war as soon as possible. After destroying Japan's base in Pujiang, no matter how many troops the Japanese government sent, they would have no support, and we would have gained the upper hand.

Of course, the most important thing is to seize the time to negotiate with Japan after winning, and avoid a protracted war.

Some people in the Ministry of Finance of the National Government have already calculated that with our current reserves, we can still sustain a war with Japan for nearly half a year.

But if the time continues to drag on, the financial bankruptcy of the Nationalist government is only a matter of time, and the entire national economy will not be able to hold on.

"The Pujiang Police Department is responsible for maintaining public order and cannot participate in military operations between nations. Therefore, there are no missions related to the Pujiang Police Department this time. When our army and the Japanese begin fighting in Pujiang, you must quickly mobilize your troops. The transportation department has established several nearby routes for troop deployment to Pujiang. Commanders, please take a look."

Minister He was unwilling to argue with them on other issues because he was not in the right. Moreover, if an argument really broke out, who knew what these officials would say, as they all had a lot of chatter.

I'll just announce the proceedings directly. Whether you agree or not, the order has already come down. Either you follow it, or you disobey it, and then we'll deal with you, the local stubborn people, before we engage in a decisive battle with Japan.

Several generals exchanged glances and said that their troops would set out on schedule. In fact, the senior officials of the National Government also understood that unless the battle in Pujiang broke out, the various armies would not board the train. Only when the National Government invested its elite troops could they see the National Government's determination to resist Japan.

"Commander Bai, in your opinion, without the participation of the 72nd Army, how can we fight the Japanese?"

Commander Bai is known as the Little Zhuge Liang, and he has the best brain among the entire warlord system of the National Government. So after the meeting, several generals gathered around Commander Bai, wanting to hear his opinions.

"Japan's military is far more powerful than ours, and their industrial production is even stronger. If we launch an offensive around Pujiang without any international support or opposition, even if we mobilize the entire nation, I'm afraid we won't be able to defeat Japan. But even if Japan wants to seize Pujiang, it won't be that easy. Perhaps it will be like the 72nd Army's battle in Tianjin, with heavy losses on both sides and our retreat in the end."

If Li Shaoyi were standing here and heard Commander Bai's analysis, he would probably applaud. He was a time traveler and remembered the contents of the history textbook clearly, so he knew the next direction. Commander Bai came up with this based on his own analysis. He was a great man of this era.

"If that's the case, we might as well just withdraw from Pujiang and negotiate with the Japanese. There's no need to lose so many troops. These are the foundation you all rely on to build your own army. If they're all wiped out on the battlefield, it will be difficult for us to defend our current territory."

Some warlords have been afraid of poverty all their lives. They have finally trained some troops and are now sending them to the battlefield of the War of Resistance. It is inevitable that they feel a little distressed.

"That's bullshit. If you don't resist and the Japanese army doesn't suffer losses in Pujiang, then they'll move up the Yangtze River and there's no telling where they'll end up. Look at the situation in North China, don't you understand? They've lost over 200,000 men around Tianjin. The Japanese army has lost all its offensive capabilities and can only halt after occupying Peking. If we deplete their main forces in Pujiang, do you think they'll still be able to attack?"

Commander Bai immediately started cursing, saying that it was already a time to preserve their own strength. Defending Pujiang was to crush the Japanese's boasts.

Didn't you say you'd destroy us within three months? With Jincheng in the north and Pujiang in the south, these two battlefields could destroy more than half of your army's main forces. Let's see if you still dare to say you'll destroy us within three months.

"But we still need the 72nd Army to get involved. Their combat effectiveness is no joke, especially in the area around Pujiang. Even if we don't allow them to send troops from the north, we can't transfer the existing military forces."

At present, some people within the National Government have become fans of the 72nd Army. When there is a conflict with foreigners, the first thing they think of is the people of the 72nd Army. If the people of the 72nd Army can get involved, then we don’t need to worry too much about the outcome. They will naturally give you a satisfactory result.

There has not been a foreigner born yet who can take advantage of the 72nd Army, at least there has not been such a person in the past.

"That depends on everyone's joint efforts. Don't waste time here. Go back and report to your superiors immediately. Then have them send a telegram to this old man. We unanimously request that the 72nd Army send troops south. I support General Li Shaoyi as deputy commander-in-chief of the Pujiang War Zone."

The Sichuan Army general started the conversation, and it was like a pot of boiling water. The rest of the people also expressed their agreement. The commander-in-chief of the Pujiang War Zone must be a member of the National Government, but there are several deputy commanders-in-chief. If the 72nd Army leads the troops south, they must be given a deputy commander-in-chief.

Although the commander-in-chief of the North China War Zone was appointed, he did not even have 5,000 troops under his command.

Compared with Li Shaoyi's newly established commander-in-chief's office, it is far inferior. If he is not given an official position, he will be pulled out to work on his own.
