    Jinan. Headquarters of the 12th Army.

    After receiving the telegram from Peiping, Iida Sadagu and Itagaki Seishiro were unwilling to accept it, but they had nothing to do.

    The current situation makes them very helpless. They originally thought it was a lion fighting a rabbit, but they found that they were full of pitfalls!

    They have already been defeated in two of the three major battlefields. Although victory is in sight at the Heze battlefield, the national army in Shanxian County and the east bank of Weishan Lake has already won, and may reinforce Heze at any time.

    By then, many national troops will gather in Heze, and the 10th Division and the 110th Division may also suffer heavy losses!

    Although these senior Japanese officers at the 12th Army Headquarters were very reluctant, they also knew that temporarily withdrawing their troops was the most correct choice.

    Subsequently, the 12th Army Headquarters issued an order to the frontline troops to withdraw!

    And as soon as the withdrawal order was issued, they received an emergency call from a reconnaissance plane from the Fengxian area. Thousands of Chinese cavalry were rushing towards Fengxian frantically, and the target seemed to be the defenders of Fengxian.

    After receiving the report, the 12th Army Headquarters was immediately shocked!

    Because they all know that Feng County, a mere garrison with only one and a half squadrons, is not worthy of the Chinese army using so many troops. In other words, the target of the enemy is not Feng County at all.

    There is only one place nearby that is worthy of such a large-scale war by the Chinese army, and that is Xuzhou!

    Thinking of the importance of Xuzhou City, the 12th Army Headquarters was shocked and immediately called the Xuzhou City Garrison Headquarters.

    It was learned that the remaining two thousand defenders in Xuzhou City had gone north to reinforce Shanxian County. At this time, there was only a gendarmerie of 200 people and an infantry battalion of 300 people in the city. It could no longer be described as empty.  It's completely equivalent to being undefended!

    After receiving the report, the 12th Army Headquarters immediately ordered the 21st Division Regiment Headquarters to immediately withdraw the troops that reinforced Shanxian County to Xuzhou City.

    Of course, these two thousand people alone were obviously not able to stop Li Guoyao's troops, so Iida Sadagu and others immediately ordered the 21st Division to withdraw all the defenders near Xuzhou City to Xuzhou City, including Xiao and Xiao  County, Tongshan, Suining and other places all gave up.

    At the same time, Lieutenant General Seishiro Itagaki, Chief of Staff of the China Expeditionary Forces Headquarters, who was at the 12th Army Headquarters, sent another telegram to Nanjing, describing the battle situation in Shandong in detail, and requesting that Huaibei and Henan  Dong Dong's troops were transferred to Xuzhou to prevent the city of Xuzhou from being captured by the Chinese army.

    After receiving the telegram from Lieutenant General Seishiro Itagaki, the top Japanese troops in Nanjing were shocked. They did not expect that the war situation in Shandong would deteriorate to this point. They immediately ordered the Japanese troops in Huaibei and Kaifeng to immediately reinforce Xuzhou City without hesitation.

    There are two flowers blooming, one on each side!

    Just when the main forces of the Japanese army were withdrawing their troops, the Chinese army was advancing vigorously!

    First, Li Guoyao's troops completely wiped out Mitsui's troops in Shan County, and then the cavalry troops recaptured Feng County!

    The main force of the Jiujiu Army fighting on the east bank of Weishan Lake captured Zaozhuang City after wiping out the Japanese reinforcements in the direction of Xuzhou. Subsequently, the troops captured the unguarded Xuecheng and Weishan County.

    Then under Xu Hu¡¯s order, a regiment of troops crossed Weishan Lake and occupied Peixian County, which the Japanese army had just evacuated.

    The Sulu Theater Headquarters did not show any weakness. First, it defeated the main force of the Japanese 32nd Division near Shanting. Then the main force gathered outside Tengxian County and successively captured Guanqiao, Yangzhuang, Xigang and other towns, and surrounded Tengxian County with heavy troops.  The county seat forced the main force of the 32nd Division to bypass Xigang and other places and retreat to Dawu Town in the northwest of Teng County for rest and recuperation.

    In fact, according to the order of the 12th Army, it is best for the 32nd Division to withdraw to Teng County immediately. After all, it is difficult for the remnants of the independent sixth brigade to defend Teng County under the fierce attack of the Chinese army.

    However, the 32nd Division had no confidence in being defeated by Li Guoyao in the past few days, and the organization of the troops was also in chaos. Therefore, Lieutenant General Kimura Hy¨­taro asked his troops to withdraw to Dawu Town for adjustment first, and then reinforce Teng County.

    After knowing the situation of the 32nd Division, Iida Sadagu and Itagaki Seishiro agreed after some discussion. After all, the independent mixed sixth brigade can last for a while.

    As the Japanese army retreated across the board, the Chinese army occupied most of southwestern and southern Shandong within two days, especially when the main force of Li Guoyao's troops appeared outside Heze City and successfully joined forces with the 111th Division.  This war, which lasted nearly half a month, was finally over.

    In this battle, the Japanese army dispatched the 110th Division, the 32nd Division, the 6th Independent Mixed Brigade, the 10th Division, one unit each of the 21st Division, and the 17th Division, with more than 50,000 troops dispatched.  The national army in southwestern Shandong launched a full-scale offensive.

    ?However, it encountered a comprehensive counterattack by the main force of the Sulu Theater and Li Guoyao's troops on the Chinese side. The Chinese army dispatched 6 corps, 13 divisions and 11 brigades including the 51st Army, 57th Army, 89th Army, and the Ninth Army.  , a total of more than 120,000 people.

    The two sides launched a comprehensive battle in southwest Shandong, southern Shandong, western Shandong and northern Jiangsu. The Japanese army used all weapons and equipment including aircraft, artillery, tanks and poison gas bombs. Even Seishiro Itagaki, chief of staff of the Chinese Expeditionary Forces Headquarters,  He personally visited Jinan to take command, but still failed to capture southwestern Shandong.

    On the contrary, due to underestimation of the enemy and failure to understand the strength of the Chinese army, they were eventually beaten and lost their armor and suffered heavy casualties.

    Although the national army achieved considerable results, all units suffered heavy losses, especially the 57th Army, which was responsible for garrisoning in southwest Shandong. The two divisions of nearly 20,000 troops had less than 8,000 people left after the war.

    The troops sent by the 89th Army to reinforce southwestern Shandong also suffered heavy losses. They were not elites themselves, especially the security brigades. Most of the soldiers had old sleeves made in Hanyang, and there were only a few medium-sized and formal ones.  The number of light and heavy machine guns is also very small, and the number of mortars is almost negligible.

    With such a force fighting against the main force of the Japanese army, heavy casualties can be expected. Even if Li Guoyao had not seen it and took action in advance, it is still unknown whether these troops could continue to be retained.

    As for the losses of the Sulu Theater Headquarters, it is also unbearable to look at. In order to drag the main force of the Japanese army and open a safe passage to southwestern Shandong, the Sulu Theater Headquarters spent a lot of money and mobilized all the troops that could be mobilized.  got up.  They also took the initiative to launch attacks in Shanting, Tengxian and other places where the Japanese army was heavily stationed.

    Although the strategic goal was achieved, the casualties were very heavy. On the Shanting front line alone, the Sulu war zone suffered more than 10,000 casualties, and the Tengxian battle suffered even more heavy casualties.

    Li Guoyao¡¯s command was not at ease either. In the battle to encircle and annihilate the reinforcements of the 21st Division, the Jiujiu Army was said to be an ambush, but battle statistics showed that the casualties totaled more than 2,600 people.

    In the attack on Zaozhuang, Ma Desheng's troops suffered 2,100 casualties!

    In the battle to encircle and annihilate the remnants of the 17th Division, Li Guoyao's troops suffered 2,400 casualties, almost as many as the Japanese.

    Comprehensive statistics show that the Japanese army suffered more than 23,000 casualties in this battle, while the Chinese army suffered more than 108,000 casualties.

    Judging from the casualties, the Chinese army did not win, and the Japanese army did not fail, and even achieved considerable results.

    But from the perspective of strategic effect, the Japanese army failed to achieve the strategic goals set before the war, and more than 20,000 people were involved.

    In addition, the Japanese army also lost more than 150 tanks, more than 50 fighter planes, and more than 200 artillery pieces in this battle. The offensive capability of the troops was greatly weakened, so strategically it was indeed a complete defeat.

    However, neither the Japanese army nor the Chinese army were very satisfied with the outcome of this battle.

    The Japanese army originally planned to concentrate its forces to completely eliminate the Chinese army in Shandong. However, it failed to steal chickens and lost rice. In addition, they also added a major general brigade commander and three colonel officers. Everyone felt aggrieved and frustrated.  depressed.

    Although the national army defended its territory, many troops were reduced to empty shells!

    Especially for Li Guoyao, he originally wanted to take advantage of the Japanese attack to reoccupy southwest Shandong and annihilate all the Japanese troops who invaded southwest Shandong.

    As a result, after half a month of busy work, the remnants of the 17th Division and the reinforcements of the 21st Division were only wiped out. As for the 10th Division and the 110th Division, the main force of the Japanese army, there were not many casualties, at least  The vitality is not damaged.

    Even the 110th Division has not completely evacuated from southwest Shandong until now. Its main force still stays on the Juye line. If they are willing, they may attack Heze City again at any time.

    Both sides feel unconvinced, so there is only one final result, and that is to recover from their injuries and fight again!

    ps: The Battle of Southwest Shandong is temporarily over, I don¡¯t know if you are satisfied or not!  Wow, the author¡¯s writing feels pretty good anyway.
