Chapter 540: The End of the Battle of Texas

The counterattack of the Japanese army is also a reasonable thing, originally the North China Front Army and Okamura Ningji were not the masters to be messed with, if it didn't happen to catch up with the Japanese base camp and was planning the Battle of Midway, otherwise the ** squadron would never have been able to attack the hinterland of Shandong so smoothly. Being beaten to the door of the house is a naked insult in itself for the North China Front Army and Okamura Ningji, if it weren't for the overall situation, Okamura Ningji would have ordered the troops to counterattack a long time ago.

North China was the most important logistics base for the Japanese army to attack China, so the Japanese army headquarters headquarters and the Japanese emperor and the Japanese army China Dispatch Army headquarters were very concerned about the situation in North China, so when Okamura Ninji reported the chaos in North China to the Chinese Dispatch Army Headquarters and base camp, the Japanese emperor personally issued instructions ordering the troops of the former North China Front Army to be rebuilt immediately, and at the same time adding reinforcements to the North China Front. Of course, Emperor Hirohito also ordered Okamura Ninji not to restore the default line as soon as possible, that is, the line after the compromise between the two sides after the last war.

Although the Japanese counterattack did not surprise Han Yunhua, the strength of Okamura Ningji's counterattack made Han Yunhua greatly startled, and the offensive method of aircraft, artillery, warships and tanks was indeed very powerful, not to mention the 115th Division, a unit without anti-tank heavy weapons, even the 300th Division, the ace unit of the Inner Mongolia Military Region, did not dare to say that it would definitely be able to retreat under the blow of this strength.

Since the 115th Division was not a battle sequence subordinate to the Inner Mongolia Military Region, Han Yunhua only had the right to suggest to Xu Xiangqian and the entire 115th Division, but he did not have the right to command, and the 115th Division and the Inner Mongolia Military Region were in a relationship of mutual cooperation rather than mutual control. Originally, according to Han Yunhua's plan, the 115th Division should take the initiative to give up big cities like Jining and Heze, if it can be sold to the national government, it is good, if the veteran is unwilling to take this hot potato, then it is okay to throw it to the Japanese, anyway, the 115th Division only needs to control the vast rural towns, and the prestige of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army will be started among the people, then they will be considered to have completed the task in this battle, and the development of the troops in this area will be much smoother in the future.

However, Xu Xiangqian and Chen Guang are both competitive personalities, especially Chen Guang, the front-line combat commander, is far less calm than Luo Ronghuan and others, so they are unwilling to hand over the few big cities that they have fought hard to defeat like this, and this time the national government may have seen that the situation is not good, so there is obviously a lack of interest in the olive branch thrown by **, and Xu Xiangqian has no choice but to order the troops to strictly defend Jining and Heze.

But yesterday's only one day of fighting made this veteran regret it, this kind of infantry and tank coordinated operations, the three-dimensional combat mode of the army, sea and air trinity is far more powerful than the duel between infantry alone, in just one day, an absolute main regiment of the 115th Division was disabled, and the other two regiments also suffered heavy losses, if it weren't for the fact that Han Yunhua sent the only aviation team in his hand to support them in the evening, I am afraid that it is still unknown whether the three infantry regiments stationed in Jining can break out.

After seeing the strength of the North China Front, without Han Yunhua's urging, the 115th Division took the initiative to abandon Heze and other towns this time, of course, it was inevitable to search hard before retreating. Although the 115th Division took the initiative to withdraw from large and medium-sized cities and important county seats, the 115th Division made a lot of money this time, and the captured weapons and ammunition alone were enough for the 15th Division to go crazy, plus a large amount of gold and light, the 115th Division's funds have never been so abundant.

The 115th Division's initiative to retreat was beyond Okamura Ningji's expectations, although he did not recognize the combat effectiveness of the 115th Division in the first battle of Jining, but he greatly appreciated the fighting will of this squadron, after receiving the telegram sent by the front commander, Okamura Ningji thought about the final instructions, temporarily gave up the attack on the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army, and concentrated his forces to deal with the Chinese political army, especially Yu Xuezhong's department, which posed a huge threat to the front army this time.

The news of the fiasco of the 115th Division in front had just reached Lunan, and before the Japanese army had time to launch an attack on the subordinate troops of the First Theater that was close at hand, he ordered the troops of the Sulu Theater to alternately cover and withdraw from the main county town and several small and medium-sized cities. He is not afraid that the Japanese army will go to the mountains to encircle and suppress his troops, anyway, there are many mountains in the Linyi area, especially as long as the troops enter the Yimeng Mountains, no matter how many people you come, it will be in vain. If there is still a pure land on earth in Shandong, only this Yimeng mountain area can be counted, although there are many bandits in the mountainous area, and the guerrilla troops of the Eighth Route Army and the National People's Government also have their own numbers, but there are no Japanese.

It's not that the Japanese don't want to deal with those rebel forces in the Yimeng Mountains, but because the Yimeng Mountains are vast and the terrain is dangerous, not to mention a few divisions, even if more than a dozen divisions can't completely sweep the entire Yimeng Mountains, the difference between the effort and the expectation is too great, in a local dialect, it is not worth it. With this reason, Yu Xuezhong also learned from the 115th Division to let the troops abandon the cities and towns and begin to move to the mountainous countryside.

In the past few days, the situation in Shandong has taken a sharp turn for the worse, and the Japanese army's strong counterattack has once again brought a halt to the anti-Japanese sentiment in China. On the contrary, the media under the control of the Japanese puppet media, as well as newspapers and broadcasts in Japan, began to trumpet the invincibility of the Imperial Japanese Army, which was dazzling and dizzying.

Han Yunhua was also a little confused by the battle situation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party and Japan during this time, first of all, the Japanese army, after the North China Front Army was transferred part of its troops, Han Yunhua judged that Okamura Ningji should take a defensive position, but how could he not bear the loneliness and couldn't help the temptation after holding it for a long time, and the intelligence department of the Inner Mongolia Military Region did not receive any news about the southward transfer of troops from the Japanese army. However, Okamura Ningji's abnormal performance still made Han Yunhua firmly believe that the North China Front must have come with strong foreign aid, otherwise Okamura Ningji would not be so ignorant and bet on the foreign side of the North China Front.

And the performance of the national civil affairs fǔ this time also made Han Yunhua very incomprehensible, to be honest, the consistent performance of the national affairs fǔ gives people the feeling of short-sightedness and shamelessness, and then adding words without trust. However, this time, Chiang Kai-shek went against the norm in handling relations with Japan and the Communist Party, and showed amazing political skills, neither being used by Han Yunhua nor letting the little devils take advantage, but on the contrary, he himself achieved a lot of results and added a lot of influence points in the international community.

Based on this situation, Han Yunhua issued an order to end the offensive and defensive battle in Dezhou, and the 11 infantry divisions of the Inner Mongolia Military Region and a large number of directly subordinate troops began to retreat on the whole line, establishing a permanent defense line on the front line of Dezhou, Linqing, Liaocheng, and Leling.

As for the 115th Division, Han Yunhua did not interfere anymore, and at this point, he has completed his mission, I believe that southwest Lu and the southern Lunan region will definitely be more lively because of the intervention of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army and a large number of troops of the National Government, and I believe that one day Okamura Ningji will have a headache.

With the help of the 115th Division, Han Yunhua could solve the affairs of northern China with peace of mind after completing another task assigned by the central government. Speaking of the new tasks assigned to him by the Yan'an side and the entire Inner Mongolia Military Region, Han Yunhua had a headache, and after two days of investigation, Han Yunhua finally determined what the Weifang concentration camp in Song Chunyi's mouth was.

In fact, this Weifang concentration camp is not a concentration camp established to imprison Chinese people, but after the outbreak of the Pacific War, Japan ... [This chapter is not finished, please click on the next page to continue reading!] ］
