    After receiving the order from the base camp, Shun Tada felt bad!

    No one knows the situation of the North China Front better than him. Although it has received 50,000 reinforcements, it is impossible to restore its combat effectiveness within a short period of time.

    The reason is that most of the reinforcements have no combat experience. These soldiers may have been farmers, workers or students before coming to China. Most of them only underwent recruit training for just three months and were then dismissed.  Sent to the battlefield.

    Such troops do not have much combat effectiveness at all. If they do not conduct adaptive training for at least half a year after being transferred to the troops, the survival rate on the battlefield will not exceed 50%.

    Secondly, the troops in North China have been fighting continuously for a long time. Coupled with the successive disastrous defeats, the morale of the troops is very low. Many soldiers are very nervous. Some time ago, a young man from the First Army even had an incident.  The soldiers voluntarily escaped from the barracks and took refuge on Tubal Road.

    There is also the issue of weapons and ammunition. There are no large arsenals in North China, but they have to maintain the combat needs of more than 300,000 imperial troops and hundreds of thousands of imperial alliance troops. Ammunition consumption has always been a problem.

    So after the last battle, Jun Tada proposed a three-month rest plan to the base camp!

    And the base camp also agreed at the time, but unexpectedly it issued such a request at this time!

    But being helpless, Tada Shun also knew that the base camp was not negotiating with him, but was passing the China Expeditionary Forces Headquarters to give them combat orders.

    It is true that it is completed, but if it is not completed, the consequences will be serious!

    In desperation, Tada Shun could only call his chief of staff Yukio Kasahara and the head of the intelligence agency Hattori Saburo to discuss!

    The atmosphere in the office is a bit solemn!

    "Kasahara-kun, have all the additional troops been settled?" Tada Shun asked in a deep voice.

    "I report to Commander, that all the divisions have been allocated, but a few division commanders seem to have some complaints about the allocation of the front army headquarters!" Yukio Kasahara said.

    "Oh, who is dissatisfied with our distribution plan?" Jun Tada said in a deep voice.

    "The commander of the 21st Division, Lieutenant General Sakai, called the front army headquarters yesterday and was very dissatisfied with only four brigades of supplementary troops being given to them!"

    "Huh, Sakai is fine for doing some research, but he is just a military officer. He is too self-righteous and can't get along with his superiors!" Tada Shun said coldly.

    Kasahara Yukio immediately responded and said: "Who says it is not the case? After the China Incident, Lieutenant General Sakai dispatched troops to fight in Chahar under the command of Lord Tojo, because Lord Tojo did not know much about tanks and did not use tanks intensively.  Instead, they dispersed the attack and caused great losses. Sakai had a quarrel with Tojo regardless of his superiority and inferiority, and was sent back to Manchuria."

    "The base camp asked me a few days ago that they wanted to transfer Sakai back to the country. I didn't agree at the time. Since he doesn't want to stay on the battlefield, let him go back!" Tada Shun said.

    Kasahara Yukio and Hattori Saburo were both shocked. Although the commander said it lightly, they knew that once Sakai was transferred back to the country, he would most likely be included in the reserve force.

    First, he is too arrogant, so arrogant that he has almost no friends!

    Secondly, some time ago, the ** troops of the 21st Division reinforced Zaozhuang but were all eaten by Li Guoyao's troops, causing huge losses to the troops. The base camp had long had doubts about his command level. Once he lost the protection of Commander Tada Shun, he was  Incorporation into the reserve force is inevitable.

    "Okay, let's not talk about this irrelevant person. You all know what the base camp means. Let's talk about it. What should we do?"

    "Your Excellency, Commander, I have two humble opinions on this matter. The first one is to try to communicate with the base camp first. If possible, it is best not to fight"

    Before he finished speaking, Tada Shun shook his head and said: "Let's forget about this matter. It's not like you don't know about those people in the base camp. They always direct their heads with their butts, and they don't care about the life and death of your frontline officers and soldiers. Since the order has been issued,  Well, let¡¯s think about how to fight!¡±

    Kasahara Yukio nodded and said: "If you really can't escape, I have two targets to choose from!"

    "Oh, those two?" Jun Tada asked immediately.

    "Southern Shanxi and northern Jiangsu!"

    "Why these two places? As far as I know, these two places should be the defense areas where the government troops are stationed. Why don't we attack Tuba Road?"

    "Your Excellency Commander, since the base camp is so anxious to let our troops launch aBattle and victory, this shows that the base camp needs a big victory.  Although it is easier to fight against Tubal Road, Tubal Road may not necessarily engage in a decisive battle with us. The final result may be that the imperial army mobilized a large number of troops and occupied some places, but in the end not many Tubal Road were killed. This is  Achievements may not be recognized by others!  "

    "Yo Xi, keep talking!"

    "But the Z/N government army is different. So far, the places where the Z/N government army is still holding on in North China are extremely important strategic locations for the Z/N government army, and most of the troops stationed there are extraordinary. For example, there are troops in southern Shanxi.  The Shaanxi Army is known as the "Iron Pillar of Zhongtiao Mountain", and northern Jiangsu is stationed by Han Deqin, a direct descendant of Chiang Kai-shek. Once the imperial army defeats or completely annihilates these defenders, it will be easily recognized!" Kasahara!  Yukio explained.

    "The analysis is very reasonable, but the government troops in North China occupy a lot of territory, including Shandong, Shanxi, Hebei and Henan, and even the Hetao Plain in Mongolia and Xinjiang. Why do they have to attack southern Shanxi and  Su Bei?"

    "Your Excellency, Commander, the intention of the base camp is very obvious, which is to take advantage of the changes in the international situation and seek to finalize the 'China Incident'. Therefore, this limits the target of our attack to the government forces."

    Then Kasahara Yukio continued: "Since Shanxi has Tuba Road based in Yan'an to the west and troops from the First War Zone on both sides of the Yellow River to the south, the security situation is extremely bad. The security situation in Henan and Shandong provinces is also unstable.  Regarding the current security situation in the areas mainly occupied by the Imperial Japanese Army, the order of stability is Mongolia, the Triangle Zone, and the Wuhan area, with North China being the worst."

    ¡°Among the entire Japanese-occupied areas, southern Shanxi in North China is the only area with national troops directly affiliated with Chiang Kai-shek. Attacking here has the best effect and is most in line with the requirements and interests of the superiors and subordinates.¡±

    "Youxi, what about Northern Jiangsu?" Jun Tada asked again.

    "The geographical location of northern Jiangsu is very important. Under the leadership of the branch/Nasulu theater, especially Han Deqin, the national army in northern Jiangsu actively fought against Japan, consolidated and expanded the anti-Japanese base area behind enemy lines centered on Huaiyin, and destroyed it to a certain extent.  It blocked the Longhai-Jinpu transportation line, restrained the actions of the imperial army, cooperated with military activities on the frontal battlefield, and also caused considerable losses to the imperial army."

    Then Yukio Kasahara continued: "It is now spring and summer, and the rivers in northern Jiangsu have not yet thawed. The mechanized troops of the Imperial Japanese Army are very suitable for action. Secondly, the strength of Han Deqin's unit has dropped a lot.  An opportunity for the imperial army to take action!¡±

    "The strength of Han Delqin's department has declined. What's going on?"

    ¡°You have to ask Hattori-kun about this matter, he knows this matter better than his humble position!¡±

    Saburo Hattori said immediately: "According to the information we received, after last year's Battle of Southwest Shandong, in order to make up for the combat losses of the 57th Army, the Sulu Theater decided to transfer many security forces affiliated to the Han Deqin Department to the 57th Army.  This order alone cost the Han Deqin Department at least 20,000 people."

    "In addition, some time ago, the 21st Division suddenly sent troops to Huaiyin and Baoying and other places, using small force assaults to defeat two brigades of Han Deqin's Department one after another, causing huge losses to the Department."

    "Tada Shun nodded and said: "Although Sakai is a bit arrogant, he is still very good at marching and fighting!"

    At this point, Tada Shun analyzed it and said again: "The risk of fighting in southern Shanxi is too high. There are at least hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops stationed there, and there are also Yan Xishan's troops assisting. We cannot act rashly. I don't think this battle will happen."  Let¡¯s attack Subei first!¡±

    "Hai, that's what a humble position means too!"

    "Well, in that case, let's study how to fight"

    "Hai!"
