    While the Military Commission and Li Guoyao were busy negotiating, the Japanese army had a different scene!

    It was originally learned that the 17th Division secretly launched an attack on Li Guoyao's defense area without consulting the Corps Headquarters. The commander of the 12th Army, Iida Sadagu, was very dissatisfied. After all, you didn't report such a big thing.  Taking direct action would not take him seriously as the commander.

    However, considering that the 17th Division itself did not belong to the North China Front's order of operations, and Hirabayashi Morito himself was not an ordinary person, Iida Sadagu could only report the situation to the North China Front Headquarters and ask Commander Tada Jun for instructions on how to deal with it.  .

    "Tada Shun is actually very unhappy. Although your 17th Division is the guest army I invited to help in the battle, you can't disrespect me as the master so much!"

    Originally, Tada Jun wanted to give an order to reprimand the guy who didn't understand the rules, but he learned that the 17th Division was overwhelming in the south, and Li Guoyao's troops were retreating steadily, so Tada Jun held back at that time.

    Thinking about this, Zhou Zaiping and Lin Shengren will talk about it after the battle is over. After all, the other party has military exploits!

    However, what he did not expect was that the war situation took a turn for the worse in less than two days. First, Tairabayashi Morito sent a request for combat guidance to the 12th Army Headquarters, and then before the 12th Army Headquarters could react,  Then we received the news that the 17th Division was completely defeated and the main force was completely wiped out.

    What makes Tada Shun most angry is that that stupid guy Hirabayashi Morito is not dead yet. He led the division headquarters to Xuzhou at the critical moment, and a complete infantry division of the Imperial Japanese Army that followed him on the expedition finally withdrew.  There were less than 2,000 of them, and the rest were either killed or captured, which completely disgraced the Imperial Japanese Army!

    And as the news that the 17th Division was completely wiped out was confirmed, the entire China Expeditionary Force was in an uproar!

    "What's going on? Even though the Imperial Japanese Army's military strength has dropped a lot in recent years, it's not to the point where the troops can casually annihilate an infantry division.

    Not to mention that the 17th Division has more than 15,000 people, including veterans with more than 4,500 or 5,300 years of military service. Even 15,000 pigs cannot be killed by that army in a few days.

    For a time, many young and middle-aged officers demanded a thorough investigation of this battle, and the truth must be found out!

    And as time goes by, the call for a thorough investigation of the truth becomes louder and louder, even attracting the attention of the base camp!

    Soon, the base camp directly issued a thorough investigation order to the China Expeditionary Forces Headquarters. After receiving the order, the Commander-in-Chief of the Chinese Expeditionary Forces, General Nishio Hisao, personally named the Chief of Staff, Lieutenant General Seishiro Itagaki, to form an investigation team to North China to investigate the 17th  The truth about the annihilation of the division was revealed, and the commander of the North China Front, Jun Tada, was asked to cooperate.

    After receiving the order from General Nishio Juzo, Shun Tada suddenly felt like he was in trouble. He felt that he was really unlucky!

    That bullshit Ping Lin division has been in North China for less than a month. The name of this division appeared in the documents on his desk no more than ten times, but in the end it caused him so much trouble.

    The dispatched army headquarters said it was investigating the annihilation of the 17th Division, but the investigation failed to investigate the role played by the 12th Army Headquarters in this battle. In the end, the North China Front Army Headquarters also had to take advantage of it.

    At this time, Tada Shun wanted to take out that bastard Hirabayashi Morito and shoot him for an hour. He was just a broom star, who failed to succeed but failed more than failed!

    However, he also knew about this. No wonder General Nishio Shouzou was angry with the base camp. This time, in order to completely eliminate the threat in the southwestern region of Shandong under Li Guoyao's command, the base camp spent a lot of money and not only dispatched four new divisions to the entire North China Front at once  regiment, and transferred the 17th Division from Central China to North China.

    In the Shandong battlefield, not only more than 20 brigades of supplementary troops were injected, but two field divisions were also transferred south. Counting the original combat troops in Shandong, the total strength exceeded 120,000.

    But as a result, more than 100,000 troops attacked the Shandong Guerrilla Corps, but they were able to wipe out an infantry division with a slap. This did not include the 10th Division and the independent fifth brigade that were also tricked in Western Shandong.  Round and round.

    "Don't say that I, the commander of the front army, feel my face is burning. If this matter is really found out, even General Nishio Hiszo, the top commander of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, will inevitably be blamed.

    But now not only the base camp demands a thorough investigation, but the young and middle-aged officers below also want an explanation. Shun Tada also knows that this matter is not something he can handle. After all, there is really nothing that can be done about such a big thing as an infantry division being eaten by the Chinese army.  hide.

    So Tada Shun first overthrew the 17th Division.The detailed information of ?? was reported to the China Dispatch Force Headquarters. At the same time, it said that it welcomed the investigation team to North China and that they would fully cooperate.

    However, Tada Shun's telegram caused serious disagreements among the top brass of the Japanese army. The reason was that in this telegram, Tada Shun mentioned a situation, that is, Li Guoyao's command had a large number of large-caliber heavy artillery, which may exceed one division.  .

    In fact, the main content of this telegram was provided by Hirabayashi Morito. As the person directly responsible for this defeat, he needs to speak for himself.

    On the other hand, Tada Shun also needed to know the truth of the matter, so he asked about the situation of the battle in detail. Therefore, Hirabayashi Morito stated that although he was responsible for the defeat of the battle, more importantly, he was seriously wrong about the situation of the Chinese army.

    The intelligence they collected before the war showed that Li Guoyao's army had less than 10,000 people in southwestern Shandong, but in fact there were at least 30,000 people in the army.  Because the Okazaki Regiment was unstoppable along the way and annihilated a large number of national soldiers, at least 10,000 or more. This can be confirmed from some propaganda released by the Chinese government.

    However, when the Chinese army launched a general offensive that night, they dispatched less than 20,000 troops in Shan County alone. In addition, they also deployed a large number of troops in Heze, Juye and other places. Therefore, before the war, Li Guoyao's troops had at least 20,000 troops in southwestern Shandong.  Thirty to forty thousand people, or even more.

    Secondly, they seriously underestimated the weapons and equipment of the Chinese army. According to the information they received, Li Guoyao's troops suffered very serious battle losses before. Many troops did not have enough weapons, especially in terms of heavy weapons.

    But the reality proves how absurd this news is. All the troops under Li Guoyao are all equipped with Type 38 rifles, and they also have a large number of light and heavy machine guns. Different from the imperial trash Taisho 11-type light machine guns, Li Guoyao's  At least half of the light machine guns in the department are Czech machine guns with more reliable performance.

    And in terms of artillery, the news they received was that Li Guoyao's troops only had some small-caliber cannons (mortars), but during the actual battle, they discovered that the other party not only had Type 92 cannons, but they also had  Infantry guns, Type 41 mountain guns, 75mm-caliber field guns, and even trembling heavy howitzers and heavy cannons, both of which have calibers above 100mm.

    And let¡¯s not talk about it. What¡¯s more important is the large number. To what extent? The other party not only used it when attacking Xieji Town, but also used it in the battle to defend Heze. It is initially expected that there will be at least one person under Li Guoyao¡¯s command.  Hundreds of such large-caliber artillery pieces.

    "What is the concept of one hundred guns? You must know that in the Japanese army's artillery establishment, the number of artillery pieces equipped by a heavy artillery regiment is only 36. One hundred guns is equivalent to three such heavy artillery regiments.

    If converted into an infantry formation, it would be equivalent to a heavy artillery division!

    You must know that in the artillery establishment of the Imperial Japanese Army, the brigade is already the largest number, but the division level has never appeared.

    In addition, Ping Lin Shengren also mentioned a situation, that is, Li Guoyao's troops used chariots in this battle. Although the number was not large, it was enough to prove that the opponent's equipment was beyond their expectations.

    And this information was provided to the 17th Division by the people from Tekongke, so Ping Lin Shengren felt that he could not bear the blame for this defeat alone!

    Although Jun Tada was surprised by the unknown news, he decided to report the situation in detail and wait for the reaction of his superiors!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
