Chapter 301 Look at my strength
Li Shaoyi's words were so evocative that Vice Minister Wu felt as if he was being led in for a moment.
The temptation that Li Shaoyi mentioned is indeed great. From the Opium War to the present, the Chinese have always been inferior to foreigners. If Li Shaoyi can win this war and kill several Japanese divisions in one fell swoop, although we still cannot be considered one of the great powers, our international status will be greatly enhanced.
In particular, it was a devastating blow to the arrogance of the Japanese. Since occupying the Northeast, the Japanese have become more and more unruly in various parts of our country. It is reasonable to give them some suffering. This is also the reason why Li Shaoyi was supported some time ago.
Deputy Minister Wu came to his senses when the cigarette in his hand burned his fingers. The stinging pain in his fingers also made him regain his usual composure.
Although the boy in front of me spoke very logically, most of his words were still assumptions and had no real basis.
"I still don't quite believe you can defeat Japan. You can say I'm corrupt or that I've been kneeling for too long, but I only believe in the facts before my eyes. Not all your troops are necessarily the same as the ones you've trained now."
Back in Vice Minister Wu's office, there was a sad expression on his face. If he were twenty years younger, he would have resigned from his current position and gone to the north with Li Shaoyi to fight. But at this moment, there were too many things to consider. One move could affect the whole body. Without complete guarantees, he dared not do anything. Sometimes he hated himself very much.
"The Nationalist government should have some hidden organizations in Chifeng City, right?"
Li Shaoyi knew that talking was useless, so he would let you know with facts.
"There are two more hidden intelligence teams. What do you want to do?"
Deputy Minister Wu didn't know what Li Shaoyi wanted to do, but Li Shaoyi knew very well what he wanted to do. This time when he came to Nanjing, he had to take the number of the 72nd Division away, so that his system could be upgraded and more weapons and equipment could be unlocked. When dealing with the Japanese, he would be able to win better. So when it was time to prove his strength, he had to show his muscles.
"You can give them orders. Currently, Chifeng City is being defended by several of our security regiments. Three have completed training, and three are currently undergoing training. Approximately eighty kilometers southeast of Chifeng City is the headquarters of the Nakamura Regiment of the newly established Rehe Garrison Division of Japan..."
Li Shaoyi's meaning was clear. "Doesn't Jinling believe in my strength?" Then he asked, "Then I'll invite you to watch a show. It's a good opportunity to train my men."
The three new security groups took advantage of the three old security groups to wipe out the Nakamura Regiment of 3,800 people.
In the 21st year of the Republic of China, the 19th Route Army had a fierce battle with the Japanese army in Pujiang, and naturally knew the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army.
Six security regiments may sound like a large number of people, but in the eyes of the Nationalist government's regular army, the security regiments are not much different from the police. Apart from serving the fish and meat, they can't do anything else. You actually let these six security regiments eat up a full-strength infantry regiment. Isn't this sending them to their deaths?
"Do you know what you're doing? To prove your fighting prowess to us, you're going to push over 10,000 soldiers onto the battlefield to die, staining your red cap with their blood?"
Deputy Minister Wu said angrily that although he looked down on the security corps, he looked down even more on Li Shaoyi's behavior, and even suspected that he had misjudged Li Shaoyi before.
"Captain Wu, please don't be angry. If all these 10,000 people died on the battlefield, I would be a general whose success was achieved at the expense of thousands of soldiers. But what if they win, and win with a casualty ratio of more than one to five?"
Li Shaoyi's statement was rather conservative. These security regiments were just called security regiments, but their actual combat effectiveness was similar to that of the regular army.
With a casualty ratio of one to five, as long as the commanders were not blinded by the attacks, they could have won the battle with their eyes closed.
"Do you know what you're talking about? This is the office of the Deputy Minister of Military Affairs, not a tea stall on the street."
Deputy Minister Wu was so angry that he could hardly speak.
"Then I will issue you a military order on the spot. If they cannot defeat the Nakamura Company, I will immediately resign from my position as Chairman of the Rehe Provincial Government."
Li Shaoyi also stood up from the sofa and prepared to take Deputy Minister Wu's pen to start writing a military order.
“Don’t mess around…”
Deputy Minister Wu still valued Li Shaoyi's talent. If this military order was issued, there would be no turning back, so he put away his pen.
"Is it really possible?"
Deputy Minister Wu was also unwilling to give up. The northern intelligence department had already reported the mobilization of those security groups. If they could really capture the Nakamura Regiment in the southeast of Chifeng City, everything Li Shaoyi said would be 80% believable.
"Connect me to the headquarters of the 72nd Brigade in Peking."
Li Shaoyi was a man from modern society and was not very good at talking, so he used the phone number of the Deputy Minister of Military and Political Affairs and immediately prepared to give the order himself. This time, Deputy Minister Wu did not stop him. Even if he failed, it was just a test of the local forces and would not ruin Li Shaoyi's future.
It would be a different situation if there was a military order. He was afraid that the young and arrogant Li Shaoyi would issue a military order but fail to complete the task. Then, in the army, which recognized military orders, Li Shaoyi's future would be ruined.
The Deputy Minister of Military Affairs' phone number was very convenient. No matter how busy the Jinling General Administration was, it would connect you to Beijing immediately. If you made a pay call, you would have to wait.
The transfer was from Peking to Chengde, and from Chengde to Chifeng. Fortunately, my subordinates benefited from it, otherwise there would not even be a telephone line in Chifeng.
"Zhang Haiguang, listen to me. I've given you this order from Deputy Minister Wu's office at the Ministry of Military Affairs. I give you three days. No matter what method you use, you are only allowed to mobilize the troops of Chifeng City to eliminate the Nakamura Regiment on the southeast flank."
Watching Li Shaoyi giving orders in front of him, Deputy Minister Wu frowned. "You only have three days to wipe out a fully staffed Japanese infantry regiment..."
Moreover, this order was given to the head of the security team. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have thought it was too magical and unrealistic.
"Yes, I promise to complete the mission."
Zhang Haiguang's excited voice came from the phone.
To become famous! To bring honor to the family! History textbooks! A single page in the family tree!
Countless scenes flashed through Zhang Haiguang’s mind.
"Remember this, if we win, our 72nd Brigade will be the 72nd Division. If we lose, you'll take off this uniform and go home to sell roasted sweet potatoes..."
