Chapter 367: The Far East Military Region's Deployment
When Li Shaoyi put down the microphone, everyone in the General Staff Headquarters felt that what Li Shaoyi said was domineering.
Although some swear words were used, they made people feel comfortable.
"For attacks that cross provincial borders, we need to set a limit for them. Should we specifically attack those who cross the border, or should we include all the Outer Xiongnu camps within the attack range?"
The chief of staff stood up and spoke carefully.
"Publish an article in the newspaper and ask the princes of the Outer Xiongnu to guarantee that such incidents will not happen again. If they continue to happen, this general will investigate thoroughly. This time, because of their crossing the border, we suffered heavy casualties. We demand three million dollars in compensation. Otherwise, this general's planes will continue to bomb their border barracks until they pay."
Li Shaoyi thought for a while and said, the invaders will not admit their mistakes on their own, you have to hurt them, if it doesn’t hurt, they will make the same mistake again next time.
"Wait a little longer. If you don't have money, I'll take any cattle, sheep, or horses and give them the normal price."
The chief of staff was about to go out to gather reporters when Li Shaoyi added another sentence. The chief of staff also smiled and nodded. By this calculation, our division commander has given you a lot of face.
The Peking Evening News published these photos immediately that evening. The photos were taken from a pilot's perspective, showing dozens of foreign Xiongnu cavalrymen on the ground, their bodies battered and scattered on the ground.
The photos obtained by other evening newspapers are completely different from these photos. Many people like to collect all the photos together. The people of the 72nd Division did not lie in battle, and all their battle records are in the photos.
It's not like those generals Wang and Li in the past, who killed hundreds of thousands of people at will, but in the end there was not even a photo, and it all depended on their mouths.
"Reporting to the commander, the Jinling Military and Political Department sent a telegram, reminding us to pay attention to the alliance between Luosha and Japan, and be careful not to get caught in the dilemma of fighting on two fronts."
Wang Zihan came in with a telegram.
"These guys in the military and political department aren't all idiots, but if I wait for them to remind me, the food will probably be cold. I'll just have to find a combat staff officer to send them a telegram thanking them."
We have reached this conclusion half a month ago, and I just learned about it from your Ministry of Military and Political Affairs. What's the point of this outdated reminder?
"The Ministry of Military Affairs also received a telegram. The newly reorganized Training Corps hopes to send a troop north to perform some non-combat missions for us."
The current teaching corps has been trained almost completely, but it lacks practical experience, especially practical experience in fighting the Japanese.
"How many people are coming?"
Li Shaoyi was lying on the sofa and preparing to rest, but after hearing the news, he immediately got up. The people in the Teaching Corps are elite, and they are the elite of the entire national army at this stage.
"Just thirty."
Seeing the commander like this, how could Wang Zihan not know what was going on? He must want to keep these people.
"That shouldn't be the case. According to previous experience, Nanjing should block the officers sent to our side. What's going on?"
Li Shaoyi said with some surprise that in the past, the military officers sent from Nanjing were almost skinned alive by Li Shaoyi, and those who were able to return in the end were those who did not have much ability. As for those who were capable, Li Shaoyi had to keep them even if it meant kidnapping or beating them with clubs.
"I've also consulted the military intelligence department about the information of these thirty people. They are all very complicated within the national army. It's unlikely that they will stay."
As soon as Wang Zihan said this, Li Shaoyi finally understood. Most of these people were descendants of military men, and they must have done ideological work before coming. So the chances of you expecting these people to stay are not very high.
"Just send them to Liu Xiaoshan's Second Brigade and watch how our army captures Chahar."
Since everyone has a background, Li Shaoyi cannot make plans on them, nor can he put them on the front line as it is too dangerous.
"Hey, you want to sleep in the middle of the day?"
Li Shaoyi was covering his face with a newspaper to take a rest when Gu Xiaomeng came in.
"Master, you didn't sleep yesterday, didn't you just sleep in today..."
Wang Zihan explained in a low voice for Li Shaoyi and did not cover him with the blanket in her hand. She knew that Li Shaoyi would definitely get up, and Gu Xiaomeng must have come here for something.
"Yesterday I was just waiting to see what was happening on the grassland. If you have something to say, just tell me."
Li Shaoyi was indeed a little tired. Although he sat up from the sofa, his mind still felt a little fuzzy. Night was a time for sleeping, and he had no energy to work during the day.
"The Luosha Far East Military Region just held a meeting. Our intelligence station in Harbin intercepted a telegram from Haishen City. The two Luosha infantry divisions stationed in Outer Xiongnu have already entered combat mode and are advancing towards the area bordering Chahar. At the same time, two infantry divisions in Luosha are also ready to enter Outer Xiongnu at any time."
When Gu Xiaomeng was speaking, he also marked the locations of the four infantry divisions on the map. The Russians attached great importance to the Outer Xiongnu and have never wanted to give up their interests here. Of course, our country does not have the ability to take them back. Now that they see that Li Shaoyi is serious, and coupled with the combat effectiveness that Li Shaoyi showed some time ago, they responded to Li Shaoyi with four infantry divisions at the beginning.
According to the current organizational structure of Luosha, each infantry division has about 12,000 people. However, except for the elite troops of the Capital Military Region, although there are many infantry divisions from other places, most of them have about 10,000 people, which is not full at all. Moreover, in terms of marching mode, they have never achieved what they call mechanization.
To put it bluntly, it is stronger than the current Japanese army, but not much stronger.
"The Luosha Far East Military District has issued a statement, stating that it will help friendly countries maintain their territorial integrity and provide the Outer Xiongnu with a large amount of military aid, with a total value of approximately two million oceans."
Gu Xiaomeng told all the information she had obtained in one go.
Li Shaoyi knew that this was only part of it. After all, our strength in the Far East was too weak.
"First, report these matters to the Nanjing National Government. After all, we are also an army managed by the National Government. We cannot make decisions on our own."
Li Shaoyi wanted to use this incident to see what Jinling thought.
The speed of troop reorganization is really too slow. If all the training is completed, these four infantry divisions will be just a piece of cake.
