Besides, even now, after the army has been expanded many times, the commander of an army is already a very high position, not to mention that it is still the only armored army in Japan, as long as Yoshio Shinozuka does not commit such an unpardonable crime as rebellion, otherwise he will generally not die, and it is mainly middle- and lower-level officers who apologize at every turn, but the senior officers of the devil generally cherish their lives

However, the main reason why Yoshio Shinozuka was able to escape the catastrophe is that the devil has suffered a big loss again, and there are many generals who have suffered defeats, so the punishment can only be punished lightly, and the phenomenon of "the law does not hold the people accountable" is not only unique to China

After defeating the First Japanese Mecha Army with the cooperation of the Air Force, Sun Liren wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue and seize the opportunity of tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers on the defensive line established by the original National Army in the south to take it down, but considering that behind the enemy was hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops in Xuzhou, if the new 38th Division was a little slower and was preemptively increased by the devils, it would not be easy to capture. And even if it succeeds in capturing the southern defense line, the new 38th Division will directly face Japan's huge force of at least 500,000 people, with the same defense line of the former national army that prevents the north from the south, the new 38th Division may not be able to hold on to the Japanese army's crazy counterattack, no matter how much Sun Liren trusts his subordinates, the strength in his hands is only more than 30,000 people after all, and at the same time, because of the range limitation of Soviet-style aircraft, the southern defense line, the Soviet aid air force can only barely fly to, not only is it far less convenient and flexible when performing tasks than the inner line of operations, The actual combat effectiveness was also greatly reduced, just like the Luftwaffe during the historical air battle in London. Under the condition that the Japanese army basically occupied air supremacy, no matter how proud Sun Liren was, he did not dare to fight his troops and an enemy twenty times his size, even if he only needed to hold out for 3 days before he could wait for reinforcements sent by the group army headquarters

But at this time, Chen Mingren and other generals of the national army came to propose a counteroffensive to the south because of the encouragement of the great victory, and Sun Liren couldn't help but light up, there were only more than 30,000 people under his command, but with the words of these national troops. Isn't there only 100,000? After some discussion, the generals unanimously agreed that the new 38th Division would be responsible for tearing open the enemy's defensive line and hand it over to the Nationalist Army as soon as it took the forward position. Stands up to attrition. As for the penetration and infiltration that they are most afraid of, it will be dealt with by the new 38th Division, which is highly mobile and brave and brave, and because there is a natural barrier formed by Dushan Lake and Weishan Lake in the west, the new 38th Division actually only needs to protect the east. The task is not too heavy, and it has more than enough spare capacity to provide strong artillery support to the national army. Thus, the first coordinated operation between the 15th Group Army and the Kuomintang Army in the history of the 15th Group Army began

At this time, there were still more than 30,000 devils on the southern front of the Japanese army, but in addition to the new defeat, he saw that the imperial armored forces that had always been envious and jealous were also defeated, and they fell to the bottom before they could catch up on the morale of the soldiers. The Nationalist Army, on the other hand, could devote itself to the battle after sending the seriously wounded officers and soldiers in the ranks to Jinan for treatment. With the strong artillery support of the new 38th Division, they seized a number of positions from the devils without much effort, and even they themselves were surprised by the success of the battle.

However, as soon as the Japanese North China Front Command received the news of the defeat of the First Mecha Army, it immediately realized the seriousness of the problem, so it almost immediately sent the only two "mechanized" divisions in the current army to the front line, one was the Fifth Division, which was rebuilt after being completely annihilated, and the other was the Japanese "Imperial Forest Army" -- the Guards Division, which participated in actual combat for the first time since the Russo-Japanese War. Although the so-called "mechanized" troops of the devils have only been motorized, the wheels of a car are at least faster than a person's feet, especially since this area is full of plain terrain. And the distance is originally closer to the Japanese side. As a result, the reinforcements of this devil army rushed to the battlefield to join the battle before the Chinese army took the entire defense line, and at this time, the devil's planes had already come in several waves, and the powerful artillery unit of the new 38th Division had to temporarily adopt the strategy of "hit and run" to avoid the Japanese air attack by maneuvering and camouflage. However, in this way, it will be difficult to provide continuous and reliable fire support to the national army. As for the Soviet aid air force, although the large formation is still invincible, it is limited by the range. At present, it takes two or three hours for each sortie to be carried out at the earliest, and the planes only stay over the battlefield for more than 10 minutes before they have to return in a hurry. Although the exchange ratio with the Japanese aircraft is still good, because the number of attendances has dropped sharply, the help to the ground forces is far from being comparable to before

However, because the southern line of defense also only has more decent fortifications in the north, and the south is basically undefended, Sun Liren is keenly aware of the fighters in it, and makes full use of the advantages of 48 40-tube 122 rocket launchers with long range, large killing area, and super instantaneous firepower, and launched a number of fierce artillery bombardments against the Japanese attacking troops, and because the shelling of the 12240 rocket launchers can be ended in just 20 seconds, there is enough room for transfer and concealment, And I was never hurt by the devil's plane.

Although the two divisions had already known the terrible power of this new weapon before the battle, they had been somewhat mentally prepared, and they had moderately spread out their formations to reduce the lethal effect of the rocket artillery, but they were suddenly covered by such heavy fire in an open area without fortifications to cover and protect them, and the casualties were still very heavy. It is precisely because of this that the two most elite permanent divisions of the Japanese army, with the support of the army aviation group, still cannot resist the defeat of the tens of thousands of remnants of the original Fifth War Zone.

Despite this, as the temporary commander of the national army, Chen Mingren still felt a lot of pressure, although the Japanese army was beaten very badly by the unguardable rocket artillery and the small but large-scale air raids, but the two most equipped permanent divisions of the Japanese army were still not so easy to deal with, and with them as the backbone, the devils who had been defeated before quickly regained their strength. In addition, because the Soviet Union in this time and space was too powerful, the United States only did business with the devils as it did in history, and gave direct support, including loans and even some jishu transfers, so that even if the devils suffered a crushing defeat in the war of aggression against China and the size of the army has been expanded again and again, the level of weapons and equipment has not dropped significantly, and the average ownership of advanced equipment such as automobiles, tanks, and airplanes relative to the total number of Japanese troops is even more than that of the same period in history. In addition, the Japanese side has air supremacy for more than ninety percent of the time, so although one of these two divisions is jokingly called the "Huajia Division" in Japan, and the other is rebuilt after being annihilated again, and the quality of the soldiers is much worse than before, it is by no means an easy task for the national army to completely repel them
