    Li Guoyao did not follow the key members of the Dongshan detachment when they made a fuss in southeastern Shanxi. After issuing the combat order, he returned to Erlong Mountain!

    Firstly, Xu Ziyu and others can just keep an eye on this kind of training mission, there is no need for him to spend time there!

    Secondly, the North China Front seems to be making big moves, and he has to come back to take charge of the overall situation!

    In fact, the Japanese army has indeed made a big move. When Li Guoyao was training the troops, Japan had already approved a series of basic national policies to increase troops on the Chinese battlefield.

    Within two months, North China alone received at least 50,000 reinforcements, including two newly formed garrison divisions and more than 20 supplementary brigades.

    With the arrival of Japan¡¯s domestic supplementary corps, the North China Front¡¯s shortage of troops has been alleviated!

    After these reinforcements arrived, Jun Tada immediately allocated these supplementary troops to various field units!

    As these supplementary troops were gradually added to each division, several incomplete Japanese divisions headed by Sasaki to the 10th Division finally recovered a little bit of their vitality.

    At the same time, the total strength of the North China Front Army also soared from the previous 250,000 to 300,000.

    But even with so many Tian Jun, he still had no idea. The original North China Front Army had far more than this number of troops at its peak. At its most powerful, it had a total of 370,000 people. It still failed to curb the development of Tubal Road and the people.  The government fights back.

    At present, the North China Front Army has lost its glory. The continuous defeats have enabled the Chinese army not only to defeat the Japanese army on the battlefield, but also to defeat the Japanese army in confidence.

    Although intelligence returned from informants lurking in the areas controlled by the Eighth Route Army showed that the previous war also caused huge losses to the various departments of the Zhi/Natuba Road, it was said that the field hospitals behind the Eighth Route Army that treated the wounded were overcrowded, and some places buried the dead.  Graveyards appear one after another. It is obvious that the losses on Tubal Road are indeed beyond imagination.

    But as an experienced commander, Tada Shun knew the Eighth Route Army's background very well. Maybe they did suffer a lot of casualties, but with the support of the Japanese people, they could quickly restore their combat effectiveness.

    In comparison, the Imperial Japanese Army still needs to transport troops from within the country if it wants to replenish its troops, and there is still a big gap between the two sides in their recovery capabilities.

    What's more, the enemy of the Japanese Imperial Army now is not only the Tuba Road, but also a large number of Japanese government troops, especially Li Guoyao's troops.

    You must not act rashly before you have completely recovered your strength, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous!

    ???????????????????? But the tree is still but the wind is not stopping. Tada Shun doesn¡¯t want to start a new battle at this time, but some people don¡¯t think so!

    By the way, just when the North China Front Army and the anti-Japanese troops in North China were resting and reorganizing in a tacit understanding, the Chinese and Japanese troops on the battlefield in southern Henan finally decided the winner!

    On the evening of January 24, three divisions belonging to Sonobe and Ichiro¡¯s 11th Army attacked southern Henan as planned.

    The 3rd Division on the left road starts from Xiaolindian, about 40 kilometers northwest of Xinyang, the 15th Division on the middle road starts from Minggang, about 40 kilometers north of Xinyang, and the 40th Division on the right road starts from Zhengyang area northeast of Xinyang and goes north.  attack.  The 44th Light Bomber Group of the Army and Air Force flew over the battlefield to cooperate in the operation.

    After two days of fierce fighting, the three Japanese divisions reached the Biyang and Queshan lines on the 26th. Based on the rapid retreat of the Kuomintang troops from the front, the 11th Army immediately ordered the three divisions to the north on the same day.  Xiangcheng, Shangcai, Suiping and Wuyang pursued.

    In the afternoon of January 30, the 40th Division arrived at Xiangcheng, the 15th Division arrived at Shangcai and Suiping, and the 3rd Division arrived at Wuyang and Baoan Town southwest of Wuyang.

    When the 11th Army was attacking north along Pinghan Road and both sides, the enemy North China Front troops in the north and east of the battlefield on January 25 also began to divide their routes to provide support.

    First, Lieutenant General Sakai Hoji's 21st Division, stationed in Xuzhou, attacked from Suxian, Anhui Province to Guoyang to the west. Major General Sakuma's 4th Cavalry Brigade, stationed in Shangqiu, attacked from Shangqiu to Bo in the south.  County offensive, one of its units stationed in Taikang and Huaiyang, after fighting with He Zhuguo's 2nd Cavalry Army, advanced to the Jieshou and Taihe areas of Fuyang area in northern Anhui.

    Lieutenant General Harada Xiongyoshi's 35th Division, stationed in Kaifeng, attacked south of Tongxu and Zhuxian Towns, and part of it entered the Lizhai, Dige, and Jiangcun areas south of Tongxu.

    The 44th Light Bomber Squadron of the 1st Flight Regiment of Major General Akiyama Toyoji took off from Xinxiang and Xinyang Airports and continuously bombed Zhoujiakou, Zhengzhou, Luoyang, Yancheng, Ye County, Wuyang and other towns to support his offensive forces.

    According to the movements of the Japanese army, the troops of the National Government¡¯s Fifth Theater immediately began to take action.?. Behind the Queshan line, Zhang Xuezhong's 13th Army, the main force of the 31st Group Army, faced the enemy's 3rd Division advancing towards Xiangheguan north of Chunshui. Li Chuying's 85th Army continued to advance northward from Runan to Shangcai.  The enemy's 15th Division and 40th Division conducted a flank attack.

    The 2nd Army carried out a follow-up attack on the enemy's 3rd Division west of the railway. Liu Ruming's 68th Army attacked the enemy's rear south of Xiangheguan; Cao Fulin's 55th Army attacked Biyang south of Xiangheguan.  enemy.

    Huang Weigang's 59th Army moved from near Xiang and Fan to Nanyang in the northeast to strengthen the defensive strength there.

    In addition, Sun Zhen's 22nd Army, which was behind enemy lines, attacked the enemy in Suixian County and Xihe Town, not far east of Suixian County.

    When the Japanese 3rd Division arrived in the Shangdian area in the mountainous area south of Wuyang, Zhang Xuezhong's 13th Army immediately launched an attack on the left wing of the enemy's branch heading north. After fierce fighting, they killed or wounded about 3,000 enemy soldiers and destroyed them.  6 enemy tanks.

    Li Chuying's 85th Army east of the railway launched a powerful attack on the right wing of the enemy's 15th Division, which was attacking Shangcai on a separate route.

    On January 30, after the enemy's 3rd Division entered Wuyang, the 17th Division entered Shangcai and Suiping, and the 40th Division entered the four empty cities of Xiangcheng, its offensive was stopped.

    The enemy's 3rd Division, which arrived in Wuyang, had its headquarters in Bao'an Town, about 35 kilometers west of Wuyang. In the afternoon of January 31, it was learned from wire eavesdropping that Nanyang was the wire communication hub of the Kuomintang army in this area.

    The Japanese army¡¯s offensive plan did not include Nanyang.  However, the 3rd Division Commander Toshima Botaro, considering that Nanyang is an important town in this area, a transportation and communication hub for the Kuomintang army, and an air base for the Kuomintang army, immediately made a request to Sonobe and Ichiro to attack westward and occupy Nanyang.  .

    At 18:18 on January 31, the 11th Army Headquarters agreed to the 3rd Division's request to attack Nanyang, and ordered the 15th Division, which had been flattened on the railway line, to move west to the vicinity south of Wuyang to support the 3rd Division.  attack.

    After preparations, Fengdao's 3rd Division attacked southwest from Bao'an Town in Ye County at 14:00 on February 1. After continuous fierce battles with Huang Weigang's 59th Army, the enemy's 3rd Division captured the area at 23:00 on February 4.  In Nanyang, the 59th Army retreated to the front-line areas of Wangcunpu, Dajing, and Lianhe Town, about 15 kilometers west of Nanyang.

    After the 3rd Division occupied Nanyang, part of it captured Tanghe on the 5th, and then retreated from Nanyang on the 6th.  The other two divisions also retreated at the same time. On January 24, the enemy's southern Henan operation ended and all returned to their original starting points.

    After mid-March, the Japanese 15th Division left Wuhan and sailed down the Yangtze River back to the Suzhou area.

    Although the main force of the 5th Theater retreated during this battle and never confronted the Japanese army, the Japanese army's action was only an armed parade.

    But giving in means losing to the enemy, so after the battle, the Japanese army announced a huge victory!

    Under this circumstance, Japan continued its military victory and once again made a request for peace talks to the Soviet Union!

    In fact, this is not the first contact between the two countries. Last summer, Nazi Germany successfully launched a blitzkrieg on the Western European continent, and Japan decided to take the opportunity to move south to seize the sphere of influence of Western countries in Asia and the Pacific.

    In order to implement the strategy of marching south, Japan, while strengthening its collusion with Germany and Italy, actively sought to adjust its relations with the Soviet Union in order to consolidate northern security and prompt the Soviet Union to stop aiding China, so as to achieve the goal of ending the "China Incident" as soon as possible.

    At this time, facing the threat of Nazi aggression, the Soviet Union, in order to get rid of the danger of being invaded from the east and west, supported China's war of resistance on the one hand to restrain Japan's hands and feet; on the other hand, it strived to sign a treaty with Japan to ensure the security of its eastern border.

    So starting in July last year, the two countries began talks at Japan¡¯s initiative.

    However, since both sides had their own bottom lines and refused to give in to each other, the negotiations were suspended at the end of August.

    After the signing of the Axis Alliance Treaty between Germany, Italy, and Japan, the Japanese government was committed to negotiating the Soviet-Japanese Neutrality Treaty, and Japan proposed the "Japan-Soviet Non-Aggression Treaty Plan."  He also appointed Lieutenant General Takekawa Mitsuji as the new ambassador to the Soviet Union to accelerate the pace of Japan-Soviet negotiations.

    Afterwards, Jianchuan visited Molotov and submitted the "Japan-Soviet Non-Aggression Treaty Plan" drafted by the Japanese government, but the negotiations were suspended again in mid-December.

    At present, as the international situation between the two sides continues to change, Japan has determined its determination to covet Southeast Asia, while the Soviet Union is increasingly feeling the threat from Germany. The willingness of both sides to negotiate for peace is once again rising, and the negotiations will begin again.

    In order to increase the bargaining chips, Japan immediately launched a massive Kwantung Army exercise in the Northeast region. At the same time, it also ordered the Chinese army in North China to seize the time to win a big victory in order to put pressure on the Soviets.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
