When Liu Yimin first conceived the entire campaign plan, he wanted to move his troops south after annihilating the 29th Division, concentrate the main forces of the 1st, 5th, and 12th columns, as well as artillery, cavalry, and other units, to capture Xuzhou, and he also envisaged that after capturing Xuzhou, he would not evacuate, push the defensive line northward, fight for half a year, and drive the Japanese army north of Tai'an.

This scenario does not work. The reason is very simple, before our army reaches the city of Xuzhou, the Japanese reinforcements will arrive. After all, now that the railway from Tai'an to Xuzhou is unimpeded, as soon as Tada Jun gets the news that the 29th Division has been annihilated, he will immediately think of Xuzhou and take decisive measures to remedy it. After all, Tada Jun is indeed a famous general in the Japanese army, and he will not fail to take measures Liu Yimin's final campaign plan is to concentrate the 1st, 3rd, 4th, 7th, and 8th columns, as well as artillery, cavalry, and engineer units, to fight a large-scale battle of annihilation in the eastern section of the Jiaoji Road, using the annihilation of the 36th Division of the Japanese Army as bait, attracting the 32nd Division and other units to come to the rescue, annihilate the enemy in the movement, and expand the results of the battle.

The greatest advantage of this plan is that it can stranded the troops of the Kwantung Army supporting the Shandong battlefield in Shandong, eliminate them one by one, and successively attract them to fight in Shandong, creating an emptiness in the northeast and reducing the pressure on the northeast in the future.

This is Liu Yimin's deployment after the change of strategic concept, that is, to use the Shandong battlefield as a devourer for the Japanese army, give full play to the advantages of our army's flexibility and mobility, and consume more elite divisions and regiments of the Japanese army on the Shandong battlefield.

Liu Yimin's trick is ruthless, if the guys in the Japanese army base camp know that Liu Yimin has this idea, I don't know how they will feel.

However, plans are not changing as fast as they can't. Just as he was on the march after the Battle of Changji, Liu Yimin received the news that Konoe Bunma had formed a cabinet. When he crossed the Yi River, he received information that the Japanese Seventh Division had turned to the direction of Qingdao. In this way, Liu Yimin is not in a hurry, knowing that there are big fish to catch, maybe he can wait for a fighter plane that makes him very happy!

Liu Yimin Suo Xìng led the main force back to the hinterland of the Luzhong base area, temporarily concealed to rest and replenish, staring at the movements of the Japanese army with wide eyes, ready to attack at any time.

After the Battle of Changlu, with the withdrawal of our army from Jinan, the Japanese army occupied Jinan again, and the new commander of the 12th Army, Lieutenant General Ichi Tsuchihashi, and the chief of staff, Major General Kono Tsunejiro, were stationed in Jinan again to form a new headquarters of the 12th Army in Jinan. This time, Lieutenant General Tsuchihashi learned the lessons of his predecessors, Otaka Kamezo, Tani Toshio, and Iida Sadagu, and he had to leave an elite division to garrison the Jinan area, otherwise he was afraid of following in the footsteps of his predecessors. In this way, in view of the important position of Jinan, Tada Jun, Nishio Shouzo, and the base camp had to agree to his request and transfer the 2nd Guards Division to garrison the Jinan area.

At this time, the Jinan area has simply become a large barracks for the Japanese army. The 2nd Division, the 2nd Guards Division, the 12th Division, and the three Tank Divisions were all gathered in the Jinan area, and the trains on the Jinpu Road were going to Jinan day and night to transport supplies to the Japanese army. That's it, several divisions of the Japanese army on the northern front have not yet crossed the Yellow River!

Jinan's Japanese puppet machine pass was caught up by the Eighth Route Army in the retreat with the Jinan garrison, and the remaining Han jiāns who were basically lost were those who were of low grade and were not qualified to retreat by train, car, and motorboat and were hidden around Jinan. As a result, the new commander of the 12th Army, Lieutenant General Tuqiao, had a hard time, and he had to clean up the mess and reorganize the puppet political power in Shandong Province and Jinan. Otherwise, there would be no one to treat him as a dog.

This guy is simply a dog with only nine lives. This time, Iida Sadagu ordered the Japanese puppet machine pass to retreat, and Ohashi Xiong Xiong actually led the large and small special services of the special service pass to successfully escape by boat, and after returning to Jinan, he became the indispensable right-hand man of Lieutenant General Tsuchihashi No. 1, helping Lieutenant General Tohashi No. 1 to rectify the order of Jinan City, and he could serve as the head figure of the puppet Shandong Province and Jinan political power at all levels.

The commander of the Twelfth Army, Lieutenant General Tsuchihashi Ichi, simply became a political officer, and he was so busy that he was discouraged. As for the Japanese army's crazy sweep around Jinan to retaliate and kill people and set fires, Tuqiao didn't have time to care about it once, and he didn't care about it at all, because he thought that the conscience of the old Baiyuan surnames in Shandong was greatly broken, and most of them were suspected of colluding with the Communist Party, so they should die.

Tsuchihashi was busy forming the Japanese puppet government in Shandong at one time, and Tada Jun was not idle. This old ghost, staring at the central and southern regions of Shandong with his eyes, is planning to seize the opportunity of the Konoe Cabinet to come to power, expand the army, and annihilate Liu Yimin's main force in one fell swoop.

There is no way, Liu Yimin's clear-code telegram is too vicious and poisonous, which makes Tada Jun lose people in front of the world. The fact that he paid money to ransom the corpses of the fallen officers and soldiers from the Eighth Route Army was also revealed, and he had to obediently pay for the corpses of the 29th Division again.

Other soldiers said that the body of Lieutenant General Uemura Toshimichi, the commander of the 29th Division, had to be bought, after all, it was the body of Lieutenant General of the Omu Army, and his family was still clamoring in Tokyo to be sealed!

Probably in order to assassinate Tada Jun and eliminate the main force of the Eighth Route Army in Shandong at an early date, the new Foreign Minister Matsuoka Yoyo summarized the situation of the newspapers and radio stations of various countries collected by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the retransmission of Liu Yimin's telegram in Ming code, and made it into a special parcel, which was sent to the North China Front Army Headquarters in Beiping on time every day through the flights from Tokyo to Tianjin and Beiping, and was sent to the North China Front Army Headquarters in Beiping on time every day for Lieutenant General Tada Jun to read. After only three days of mailing, Tada Jun was so angry that he couldn't lift his head, and even the female soldiers who were sleeping were driven away by him.

The new land minister, Hideki Tojo, ordered the North China Front to report a report on the progress of the North China Rectification Operation every day, so that he could present it to the Emperor. Although the base camp did not hold Tada Jun responsible, it does not mean that they don't know how much this battle has been fought in their hearts. For three days after Tojo took office, Hideki Tojo sent a telegram to reprimand Tada, saying that he had a strong army, but he had no way to take Liu Yimin's troops, and if this continued, the great military might of the Great Japanese Army would be gone.

Tada Jun directly scolded Hideki Tojo and Yoyo Matsuoka in his heart for not knowing the power of the Eighth Route Army, and he didn't have a backache when he stood and spoke. If not, let His Excellency Tojo come to North China to command the battle?

Of course, this is Tada's slanderous words, and he doesn't dare to scold it publicly. This time, the death of Iida Sadagu and the 29th Division, the 17th Brigade and the main force of the Jinan garrison were broken, and the reason why he was not forced to apologize and even be dismissed from his post was saved, His Excellency Tojo did not help him say good things. Second, he is now eager to retaliate against the Eighth Route Army, and it is difficult to move an inch without the support of the new land minister. He can't bear it, but he has to endure it!

Tada Jun was a little envious of the commander of the 11th Army, Lieutenant General Sonobe and Ichiro, whose 3rd Division was surrounded by the Zhongyuan National Army, and he was able to calmly break through, leading the nose of the Zhongguo Army, and cooperating with the 13th and 16th Divisions to counterattack and hit the main force of the 5th Theater of the Zhongyuan Kingdom. Why can't you take your turn to do this kind of good thing?

After thinking about it, Tada Jun felt that what Shouichi Terauchi had said was right, Jiang Jiejieshi's regular army was easy to fight, and the Eighth Route Army was not easy to fight. The reason is that the regular army of Chiang Kai-shek is visible and traceable, and it is in a position to fight; The Eighth Route Army was cunning and cunning, and they didn't know where they were hiding, and they were always working with sudden attacks. Moreover, Liu Yimin's firepower is strong, if the third division is surrounded by Liu Yimin's army, I am afraid that it will be shattered early.

Tada Jun asked Hirata to draw up a plan for the expansion of the North China Front, based on the independent mixed brigade, to expand the three-unit division and regiment, and take on the garrison task. The existing permanent divisions and regiments under the four-unit system and the ad hoc divisions and regiments will be reorganized into a three-unit system, one wing will be transferred, and three or two wings will be transferred out, and some troops and equipment will be expanded, and new divisions and regiments will be established. The plan has been drawn up, and it has also been reported to the headquarters and base camp of the dispatch army, and it is waiting for approval.

Tada Jun carefully summarized the reason for the loss of troops in this sweep, which was because Jinan's defense was too weak, which allowed Liu Yimin to take advantage of the loophole. If it weren't for Liu Yimin's sudden capture of Jinan, Luxi's heavy army group would have forced Luxi Tubalu to the Yellow River and annihilated it in one fell swoop; The heavy army group in Jiaodong can besiege the main force of the Eighth Route Army in the Kunyu Mountains, and after a long time, they will starve to death! said a thousand ways and ten thousand, it was Liu Yimin who was too cunning and cruel. Fortunately, he took decisive measures, otherwise, maybe Xuzhou would have been lost. Tada Jun felt that it was better to seize the opportunity of the three tank divisions of the Kwantung Army to assist in the operation in Shandong, first consolidate the defensive line, and then carry out a thorough heavy sweep of the Eighth Route Army's base area in central and southern Lu, no matter what, to find Liu Yimin's main force, use strong armor and air superiority, annihilate it, and never suffer in the future.

The actual combat proved that the offensive of the three tank divisions was unstoppable by the Eighth Route Army. In this regard, Tada Jun has full confidence.

Tada Jun adjusted the deployment again and ordered the 1st Tank Division to be transferred to Gaomi to garrison, under the command of the 7th Division; The 2nd Division and the 2nd Tank Division were transferred to the garrison between Xin'an Town and Donghai, and the 3rd Tank Division was transferred to Tengxian County to garrison, which was assigned to the command of the 1st Division. The 12th Division was stationed on the front line of Zhangqiu, and the Guards Division was stationed in the Jinan area.

After adjusting the deployment, Tada Jun thought that the defense line was impregnable, and after the deployment of the troops was completed and the troops were recuperated for a short time, they could launch a sweep of Lu Zhongnan again.

This time, Tada Jun was seventy percent sure that he could eliminate the main force of Liu Yimin's department of the Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop.

The spear and shield are about to collide again!

At this time, something unexpected happened to Tada Jun again, and the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi suddenly launched a large-scale sabotage operation on the Tongpu Railway, Zhengtai Railway, and Pinghan Road. Overnight, the situation on the battlefield in Shanxi changed greatly, and the commander of the First Army, Yoshio Shinozuka, frequently sent telegrams to ask for help.

Tada Jun was stunned for a moment, what is the Eighth Route Army doing? Is it a full-scale decisive battle with the imperial army?

The famous Battle of the Hundred Regiments in history has broken out!
