    It has been almost a week since the Battle of Southwest Shandong ended. Except for the Nationalist Government's publicity of the victory in the days just after it ended, the matter soon returned to calm.

    After the war, whether it is the Chinese army or the Japanese army, the first thing to do is to lick their wounds and recuperate!

    In this war, not only the Japanese army suffered heavy losses, but the Chinese army also suffered heavy losses!

    Needless to say, in the Sulu theater, the 57th Army suffered more than half of its casualties, and the 51st Army and the 89th Army all suffered heavy losses.

    Even Li Guoyao¡¯s headquarters suffered serious casualties. The Zaozhuang battlefield and the Shanxian battlefield lost a total of more than 7,000 people. Lu Zhanwu¡¯s headquarters, which was responsible for harassing and containing the Japanese army, also suffered more than a thousand casualties. The total losses of nearly 10,000 people were miscellaneous.

    Although less than half of them were killed, Li Guoyao still felt distressed!

    Originally, Li Guoyao wanted to wait for the thousands of recruits specially approved by the Military Commission to arrive and quickly replenish the new troops. However, the Sulu Theater Headquarters told them that the recruitment of those recruits had not yet started, and it would take three months at the earliest.  Replenish the troops for at least four to five months.

    At that time, Li Guoyao was a little confused. He no longer counted on these people, but ordered the troops to immediately solve the problem of lack of troops on their own.

    "While the Chinese army on the Shandong battlefield was busy recruiting troops, the North China Front Army was not idle either!

    This time the Chinese army's counterattack in Shandong really made Lieutenant General Tada Shun unable to step down. The always sinister Tada Shun was really angry this time.

    ??In Tada Shun¡¯s view, this time the Chinese army is not only slapping him in the face, but also challenging the military prestige established by the Imperial Japanese Army over decades.

    ¡°Now that the Imperial Japanese Army has suffered such heavy losses, it is necessary to get the place back, otherwise it will not be possible to explain to the big guys in the base camp!

    However, Lieutenant General Tada Shun's life is not easy now. The losses of the North China Front Army have been too great. The successive failures in the Southern Hebei Campaign and the Southwestern Shandong Campaign have cast a shadow on the Japanese army in North China.

    But it¡¯s not possible without a counterattack. Now it¡¯s not just a problem in southwest Shandong. The city of Zaozhuang is also in the hands of the Chinese army, and the city of Xuzhou is always under threat from Li Guoyao¡¯s troops.

    So many transportation lines such as Jinpu Railway and Longhai Road were cut off, which seriously affected the interests of the Imperial Japanese Army in China. Therefore, no matter how difficult it is, this battle must be fought!

    Since there is no way to avoid the war, Lieutenant General Tada Shun is rare and strong this time, and he directly starts arranging combat arrangements without even holding a military meeting.

    Lieutenant General Shun Tada currently has 12 infantry divisions and 9 independent infantry brigades in his hands. However, at least three of these divisions have suffered more than half of their casualties, and there is also a mixed brigade that is only an empty shell.  There are more than 30,000 fewer people than at the peak.

    After much consideration, Lieutenant General Tada Shun decided to dispatch another infantry division from the Shanxi battlefield to Shandong, and also transported a tank regiment and a heavy artillery brigade directly under the front army to the Shandong battlefield.

    As a result, on the Shandong battlefield, in addition to the original 10th Division, 110th Division, 21st Division, 32nd Division, 41st Division, independent mixed fifth brigade, sixth brigade, and 10th  In addition to the brigade, the 37th Division, the 6th Heavy Artillery Brigade, the 3rd Tank Regiment and other units were added.

    Coupled with the Imperial Association Army in Shandong, the number of troops that can be directly used for offense exceeds 60,000!

    In Tada Shun¡¯s view, it is not easy to recapture a small Zaozhuang city with so many troops!

    Although he also knows that the Chinese army in Shandong has become a climate. Li Guoyao's troops cooperate with the Sulu Theater, and the Eighth Route Army is eyeing them. It is not easy to kill all these troops.

    ¡°But Lieutenant General Tada Shun knows better that in the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks are paper tigers and cannot withstand the test.

    He did not believe that the few remaining soldiers in the Sulu theater and the scattered troops under Li Guoyao could fight against his 6 divisions and 4 infantry brigades. In addition, he also had powerful heavy artillery brigades and tanks.  Alliance.

    ¡°In particular, he also received news that Li Guoyao¡¯s troops had completely withdrawn from their territory, and Zaozhuang and other places were now in the hands of the Sulu Theater Headquarters.

    As for the strength of the Sulu Theater, Shun Tada is quite familiar with it. The courage of their soldiers is not bad, and their commanders are somewhat capable, but their weapons and equipment are much worse. Although they are not as crude as the outside world says, they are still advanced and sophisticated.  Not up there.

    At the same time, the weapons and equipment of the Imperial Japanese Army were also ranked among the best in the world. Although the artillery support capabilities of the Imperial Army and the performance of its chariots and tanks were indeed not as good as those of several other military powers, they were still relatively powerful.For other armies, the weapons and equipment of the imperial army can be called luxurious.

    As one of the few strategists in the great empire, Lieutenant General Tada Shun is still very proud. Even when facing His Highness Prince Kanin Palace, Lieutenant General Tada Shun does not think that he is worse than anyone else.

    To be honest, although the North China Front Army has suffered a lot at the hands of the Eighth Route Army during this period, Lieutenant General Tada Shun does not think that the Imperial Japanese Army is worse than that army.

    Of course, if he had a choice, Jun Tada would not want to send troops at this time, but he had no idea.

    At this time, wars were raging in North China, with southern Hebei, western Shandong, southwestern Shandong, southern Shandong, northwestern Shanxi, and southeastern Shanxi all fighting. Moreover, affected by the defeat in Shandong, the imperial army in these places did not perform well.  Under pressure from the base camp, Tada Shun urgently needed a big victory to stabilize the situation and open up the north-south transportation line.

    With Tada Shun¡¯s order, the entire North China Front began to move again!

    First, troops from all over the country continued to gather towards Shandong. At the same time, military columns from the northeast to Peiping also became more frequent.

    After all, the weapons and equipment produced by the arsenal in the pass alone are far from enough to meet the consumption of the North China Front. Therefore, the base camp can only transport equipment from the Shenyang arsenal in the northeastern region.

    Regarding this operation, the Japanese army did not keep it secret at all!

    ¡°On the one hand, such a big news cannot be hidden from the Chinese side. On the other hand, the Japanese army does not want to be sneaky. For revenge, what they want is this kind of fanfare, and what they want is for their opponents to be cautious!

    Therefore, after August, the roads and railways from Pingjin to Shandong become busy!

    And as a large number of Japanese troops and combat supplies entered Shandong, the situation became tense again!

    In order to respond to the actions of the Japanese army, the Sulu Theater Headquarters also did a lot of work. First, it strengthened the strength of the national army in Tengxian and Zaozhuang. At the same time, it sent elite teams to penetrate into the Japanese-occupied areas to attack the Japanese army's communication lines.

    As we all know, war requires food, wages and ammunition. This is why soldiers and horses go first before food is used.

    The Japanese army, a relatively highly mechanized force, relies far more on logistics than the national army. The Japanese army in Shanxi, Hebei and other places want to go south as soon as possible to support the Lunan battlefield, so logistics support will be the most important thing for the Japanese army.  .

    Seeing this, the Sulu Theater Headquarters dispatched more than 20 company-level combat units to attack in Dezhou, Cangzhou and other places, paralyzing all railway lines from Shandong to Hebei, Pingjin and other places in a short period of time.

    And these combat teams have also been specially trained, and they know the principle of hitting a snake seven inches away. The places where bombs explode are all tunnels and bridges that the Japanese army attaches great importance to. A blast often means that the Japanese army needs ten days and a half months or even more.  Long time repair.

    At the same time, the National Army¡¯s Military Command Bureau also dispatched one after another to cooperate with the national army¡¯s frontal actions.

    The Dezhou Arsenal is the second largest arsenal of the Japanese army in Shandong. Due to the paralysis of the railway south to Jinan, a large number of weapons, ammunition and Japanese troops were stranded in Dezhou.

    Iida Sadagu, Itagaki Seishiro and others realized that so many weapons and ammunition stranded in Texas would definitely bring major security risks to Texas, so they urgently mobilized a large number of troops to strengthen the defense force of Texas and ensure that this  A batch of ammunition is foolproof.

    But no one expected that the all-pervasive agents of the Military Command Bureau would also target the Dezhou Arsenal. On the same night as reinforcements from Jinan arrived in Texas, the agents of the Military Command unexpectedly attacked the Dezhou Arsenal and detonated it.  .

    With violent explosions, the entire Dezhou railway station and the ammunition depot were razed to the ground. Even the Japanese garrison was killed and injured more than 700 people.

    In addition, four military trains parked in the train station were overturned, causing huge losses to the Japanese army.

    As the two sides exerted their strength on each other, the atmosphere in Shandong became increasingly tense, and a war was about to break out!
