Looking back at Ma Zheng's department, although there was no shortage of orders after returning to Shandong, the movement was not big. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Ma Zheng knew very well that what the troops needed now was not large-scale operations, but rest and tempering, and before they were completely sure, it was best for the troops not to engage in a desperate confrontation with the Japanese army at the division and brigade level, and it would be enough to have a duel between battalions, companies, and platoons.

It was precisely under the guidance of this kind of thinking that although the tens of thousands of troops of the Shandong Military Region were scattered like seeds, they did not engage in any major battles, either pulling out a stronghold here or destroying an artillery tower there.

Although the Japanese army was in a hurry, it did not attract the attention of the 12th Army. Although the headquarters of the 12th Army also organized several encirclement and suppression at the wing level, it did not achieve much success, mainly because the Eighth Route Army usually withdrew into the mountains when it saw the main force of the Japanese army attacking, or it took the Japanese army to turn the mountain to hide and seek, or it did not fight the Japanese army to the death anyway.

After a few times, Iida Sadagu was also annoyed, knowing that there would not be much success if this continued, so he immediately ordered the troops to return to the city to strengthen their vigilance, and not to play hide and seek with Tuhachi.

Time is very fast, two months in a flash, these two months are the most stable two months Ma Zheng has lived in recent years, and it is even surprising that it is quiet.

Although Ma Zheng also knew that the Japanese army had suffered heavy losses in the war some time ago, coupled with the fact that a large number of Japanese troops had been transferred, there was indeed a reason to stand still. But this nest is two months, I don't want to be the character of that old devil in Okamura, with the IQ of that old guy, it should not be difficult to see that the more it drags on, the more unfavorable the situation will be for them.

In the previous month, it can be said that the Japanese army was too busy with the movement of troops to take care of the Eighth Route Army, and it is understandable that they did not come to attack. But now that the Japanese army has completed the transfer, the two sides are still so quiet, and the atmosphere is very strange.

Although Ma Zheng knew that Okamura Ningji must be holding back, and he also wanted to know what this old boy wanted to do, he didn't dare to get close to reconnoitre.

Although it is true that the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army's field units has declined, their intelligence department is much more powerful than before, and not long ago, one of Xu Xiaolin's intelligence groups was cracked by the Japanese army in Tianjin, and four excellent intelligence officers were lost.

The Tianjin Station of the Military Command Bureau of the Nationalist Government was also destroyed by the Special High-tech a month ago, losing a large number of excellent intelligence personnel, so Ma Zheng was unwilling to expose the intelligence personnel of the military region unless necessary.

Since the Japanese army did not take the initiative to attack the military region, Ma Zheng was still happy to be clean, and after more than two months of rest and recuperation, all the old units of the military region have already recovered their combat effectiveness, and the newly formed units have also been equipped with all Japanese-made weapons and equipment.

In addition, in the past two months, the Suicha Military Region has set up five infantry brigades and two cavalry brigades, and so far the Suicha Military Region has five infantry divisions, 33 infantry brigades, one cavalry division, and one armored division, in addition to a large number of technical arms and directly subordinate troops, with a total strength of more than 450,000.

Moreover, the Shandong Military Region was not idle during this time, and a large number of recruits were sent to Yimeng Mountain for training, although these recruits did not have official names, but Ma Zheng organized them into three temporary supplementary regiments, as long as these troops were qualified, they would be directly added to other units in the future.

At the same time, the 125 military and political cadres assigned by the party Central Committee to the Suicha Military Region have all been put in place, and by the unanimous decision of Ma Zheng and the entire military region party committee, these newly transferred military and political cadres to the military region will be incorporated into the newly organized infantry brigade.

However, although the troops have been formed, the new troops do not have much combat effectiveness, and they still need training, otherwise if these people go directly to the battlefield, it will be equivalent to directly sending food to Okamura Ningji. Therefore, the next thing is to train the troops, change clothes, and then help Yan'an to carry out a large-scale production campaign.

Of course, the Suicha Military Region was not idle, and under the orders of the headquarters of the Military Region, a large number of new troops went to the barren mountains and mountains to carry out tuntian. Although there is nothing to do in this winter, at least you can use this time to find a suitable camp, and if the conditions allow, you can also build a house, so as to save time for the coming year and God.

Not to mention that Ma Zheng's department was busy licking wounds and replenishing blood, let's talk about Okamura Ningji in Beiping City. Although Okamura Ninji had been promoted to the rank of general of the Japanese Army at this time and had become the highest rank under the marshal, his life was not easy.

Originally, Okamura Ningji went to North China to clean up the mess, and he was ordered to be in danger. Before he himself arrived in North China, he was full of confidence, and in his opinion, there were no other troops in North China other than Ma Zheng's headquarters worthy of the great Japanese Empire.

However, when he really understood the situation in North China, he found that things were far more complicated than he had imagined. After several years of development, not only Ma Zheng's department has made great progress, but other units of the Eighth Route Army and even the First Theater, the Second World War Zone, and the Sulu Theater are very strong.

What's even more terrifying is that now a tacit understanding has been formed between these strategic units, as long as one party acts, the other parties should encircle the point, and the other parties should send reinforcements, and the cooperation is very good, and Shanxi is lost in this way.

After several major battles, Okamura Ningji finally saw the strength of the resistance forces in North China, to be honest, for a strong enemy like Ma Zheng's department, Okamura Ningji's most hope is to concentrate all his strength to completely destroy it, even if it is not to fight 5 divisions, after all, everyone understands the truth of a blow, let alone a veteran like Okamura Ningji.

In Okamura's view, the threat of the Suicha Military Region has reached a time when it must be resolved urgently. Although the last major battle lasted only a little more than a month, and it was launched under the condition that the North China Front was in absolute superiority, what was the result?

The most important thing is that the strength of the front army, which was originally recovered, was once again hit hard, the 10th Division, the 35th Division and the 32nd Division stationed in Shimen were all killed and wounded more than half, and the casualties of the Imperial Allied Army were even more incalculable, and the loss of soldiers was at least more than 100,000.

Okamura Ningji was frightened by the real Suicha Military Region at this time, this unit was too strange and barbaric, and if he didn't agree with him, he would completely annihilate the troops above the opponent's division.

In addition, Okamura was also shocked by the adjustment of the base camp to the North China Front, which had only 9 field divisions and 7 independent infantry brigades, and only 200,000 troops in other technical arms.

Although the puppet Jingsui Army in North China has been expanded to 20 infantry divisions, two cavalry divisions, and eight independent infantry groups, with a total strength of 200,000 troops, the total strength is only 400,000, which is still nearly 100,000 less than before.

It is one thing to reduce the number of troops, but more importantly, the main forces such as the Fifth Division have been withdrawn, and the combat effectiveness of the North China Front has dropped by more than one layer. In fact, at this time, the defensive strength of the North and North regions of China has fallen to the lowest point in history, and self-protection is still insufficient, so it still has the ability to attack.

At the same time, Okamura Ninji was also worried about the effect of the empire's implementation of the southward plan, and if the southward movement was blocked and did not go well, the consequences would be very serious. It will even cause the collapse of the entire war, after all, the growing government of China is far more powerful than they imagined.

At present, Okamura only hopes that the plan to go south can be implemented in a short period of time, and that the desired results can be achieved, and then the troops that have been transferred will be able to return to the country as soon as possible. Let him, the commander of the North China Front, be more stable, unlike the trembling now, afraid that one day at dawn he will find that the Eighth Route Army has already arrived in the city.

It is precisely because of these difficulties that Okamura Ninji specifically mentioned in his order to all units on the front line that it is forbidden for all corps and divisions to engage in large-scale clashes with the Chinese side, and that the fighting must be controlled below the wing.

Therefore, in the past two months, although the two sides have also engaged in sporadic fighting, both sides have tacitly controlled the scale at the battalion and company level. In this regard, the movements of the two sides were coordinated and they fought each other very well. (To be continued.) )
