Chapter 331: The wind rises in Shandong
The commander of the 12th Army stationed in Shandong, Otaka Kamizo, was a relatively strict soldier, and after careful analysis, he keenly noticed that Shandong seemed to be falling into the calm before the great turmoil, and Yanggu County seemed to be the source of this imminent great turmoil. This discovery immediately plunged the entire top brass of the Twelfth Army into a panic, and although it was not so panicked, the top brass of the Twelfth Army was not at ease. Because the military quality and combat effectiveness displayed by the potential enemy this time are enough to pose a mortal threat to the entire Twelfth Army, which is not at all comparable to any of the previous Kuomintang and [***] armies.
Especially in terms of individual soldiers, the mysterious Chinese army does not seem to be much worse than the Great Imperial Army, and even slightly stronger, although it is only a little, but it makes the Twelfth Army feel uncomfortable for a while.
However, Lieutenant General Ogaka Kamezo is not a vegetarian, and the reputation of a veteran in the army is not blown out, as a veteran with extremely rich combat experience. Odaka Kamizo was not afraid of how strong the enemy was, and in the previous battle, the Twelfth Army was invincible, and almost wherever it hit, it would become the occupation zone of the Great Shohon.
Although such a record is the dream of every soldier, as a general who hopes to take the head of the enemy general and the chaotic army, in the face of such a weak enemy, it is inevitable that he will have a little feeling of "being at the top and seeing the mountains at a glance" and the melancholy that the opponent is difficult to find. This potential enemy is indeed powerful, so many high-level people in the Yue army are on the road, and the senior management districts of the Yue army in various cities in Shandong seem to be secretly killed almost every day, including some pro-Chinese Han annihilation.
In the face of the terrible situation, the 12th Army of the Chinese Army has no good way. Lieutenant General Odaka Kamizo had no choice but to gradually strengthen the defense towards the Luxi area to the west, and the defenders of the surrounding counties and cities of Yanggu County received orders from above to abandon the current defense area and quickly move closer to Liaocheng.
On the one hand, Han Yunhua commanded the special combat team to start a large-scale hunt for the defenders of the county towns of the Yue Army, and on the other hand, he stepped up preparations for war, and he knew that this time the army was preparing to come. The destruction of the Wanjia Buddha made the high-level of the army really realize the horror of Han Yunhua's department, and this time the army would not be stupid enough to send some insignificant troops to Yanggu County.
However, this is also what Han Yunhua expected, and the surname that the army must report is absolutely not allowed to "get away with it" if it hurts them. Although this policy stimulated the fighting spirit of the soldiers of the Yue Army to a great extent, it made Han Yunhua and some other relatively capable officers see some loopholes and the most basic laws in the command of the Yue Army.
When the army began to shrink its strength, Han Yunhua had already realized that a new round of sweeping was about to begin, but the anti-sweeping work of the Shandong instructor was still not ready, and the problem of lack of weapons and ammunition still plagued Han Yunhua. Although there was no shortage of flower monks' collections at the headquarters of Wanjia Buddha, Han Yunhua also recruited troops in the remnants of Wanjia Buddha. Although the newly formed unit of more than 8,000 people has greatly enhanced the strength of Han Yunhua's unit, the combat effectiveness of the unit has declined. Although Han Yunhua also knows that this is an inevitable phenomenon, as far as the current situation is concerned, it is too early to counter-sweep.
Han Yunhua was a bold commander, and since it was not enough to fight to the death with the Twelfth Army, he had to once again shift the attention of the Twelfth Army to other places. Although the hoe annihilation team only diverted the attention of the army for less than a month, it was in less than a month that Han Yunhua's department achieved a lot of results. In particular, in this week's period, a huge Han annihilation force supported by the Yue army was eliminated, and the qualitatively changed Taoist forces of the Taoist Society, which were very famous in the entire Liaocheng area, were eradicated, and this was a major event of great significance for the great cause of resistance in Shandong, China, and it would greatly encourage the people of Shandong and even the people of the whole country to resist the uprising.
At present, Han Yunhua's department has encountered huge difficulties, but Han Yunhua himself does not care, since he does not want his own peace of mind to develop, then Han Yunhua does not need to hide it like this. Aren't you afraid of the Han Great Demon King in Saibei, then I will "invite" the Han family's army in Saibei to dispatch, which will directly stir up the situation in the entire northern region.
In order to completely mobilize all the Chinese troops in northern China, Han Yunhua specially ordered Yang Chengwu and Li Dayong to form a former enemy's operational command to directly command the battle.
For this reason, Han Yunhua also specially asked Yang Ruihua to give a special approval of 120 tons of ammunition to Yang Chengwu and others as artillery support for this battle, and at the same time, he also asked the whole mechanized brigade to quickly bypass Guisui and Chahar from Baotou to directly attack the Xilin Gol grassland, where the defense of the army was weak, and also sent a large number of cavalry to accompany the army.
At the same time, the Inner Mongolia Military Region dispatched all the troops that could be dispatched to launch a large-scale attack on the whole province of Hebei and some areas of Shanxi in multiple ways, and Datong and Zhangjiakou, which were the key targets of this attack, were the strategic points that Han Yunhua had to take this time.
Of course, the abnormal movements of the Inner Mongolia Military Region did not hide the reconnaissance of the Chinese army, and when the troops of Han Yunhua's headquarters marched east and southward began to assemble, the headquarters of the North China Front began to urgently deploy countermeasures. In view of the emptiness of the garrison in northern China, a large number of troops were pinned down in Shanxi, Hebei, and other battlefields in Shandong, and that Han Yunhua's unit was not a squadron in the ordinary sense, he specially transferred a large number of troops from the First Theater of Henan and the Fifth Theater of Shandong to join the great battle launched by the Inner Mongolia Military Region.
In fact, this time Han Yunhua is serious, if the Inner Mongolia Military Region has been developing like this, it is really easy to make the Yue army suspicious, rather than letting the Yue army take the initiative to attack, it is better for Han Yunhua to take the initiative in the war. Moreover, if Han Yunhua's subordinate has an army of more than 100,000 and has been doing nothing, not only will Lao Jiang, who is far away in Wuhan, be dissatisfied, but even the people of the whole country will be dissatisfied with Han Yunhua and the entire Inner Mongolia Military Region. Han Yunhua is such a person, since he can see from afar, he must not let this happen. Since he knows that the people will have opinions on the Inner Mongolia Military Region, Han Yunhua will use his actions to show that the Inner Mongolia Military Region is still the original Inner Mongolia Military Region, and he Han Yunhua is still the original Han Yunhua.
