The Japanese Army Department reinforced two divisions on the Shandong battlefield, and the force reached 70,000. Not all of these 170,000 were combatants, more than 50,000 of which were engineers and logistics personnel, and these personnel could also fight. After all, the Asian army is different from the European army.

Whether it is a logistics personnel or something, the Asian army has to insist on fighting anyway, and these logistics personnel can also be attained.

In contrast, the East China Army had more logistics personnel, basically one to one.

Compared with the forces of the two sides, the Japanese army's frontal combatants were still more from the East China Army. However, Xia Jun and a group of staff members did not know about this situation in the Zhucheng Command. They only knew that the Japanese army wanted to reinforce one division, not two divisions.

The troops of both sides began to gather on the front line of Laizhou and formed a confrontation.

The East China Army will not launch an attack before the Japanese Navy leaves Laizhou Bay. After all, if you have to get shells, the losses may be huge.

Therefore, the East China Army did not launch an attack on the Japanese army on the front line of Laizhou, but instead bombed the Japanese defense line with howitzers and rapid-fire cannons.

The Japanese army dug trenches on the Laizhou line, but most of their cannons were lost when they were in Tanfang, so the Japanese army could only passively get shells.

At the same time, the East China Army was more cautious and was always ten kilometers away from the coastline. The cannons of Japanese warships were barely able to hit a little corner.

The East China Army's artillery shells can still achieve some results, but the Japanese army hid in the trench, so the effect is not too great.

At the same time, the East China Army also began to dig trenches on the Laizhou line. After all, it was okay to stop. It was safer to dig some trenches.

Not only can the Japanese army not afford to lose, China cannot afford to lose in this war.

Therefore, Xia Jun seemed more cautious in command. Although the number of Japanese troops on the front line of Laizhou was only more than 40,000, they did not launch an attack.

The Japanese warships in Laizhou Bay are gathering more and more. According to the Japanese Navy, as long as they have enough warships, they can defend against submarine attacks.

After all, with so many warships, once they discover the location of the submarine, the shells will definitely be able to sank the submarine if they drop them.

This is indeed a good defense office. It is obvious that submarines are not good to confront such large-scale main naval forces.

The Japanese army ignored the possible attacks on them by the East China Air Force.

Japan is still not very strong in terms of bombing, and at the same time, it only defines bombing as land bombing, rather than sea bombing.

Japan transferred their newly built Fuli and Trembo. Fusang is a battleship, a newly built Fusang-class, and belongs to Japan's most advanced battleship.

The Bichet is the Golden State class cruiser, also the most advanced cruiser in Japan.

In addition to the two newly launched ships, there are the Third Fleet Navy, the Third Fleet flagship Lujima, the Matsushima, the Suma, the Waizumi, the Chiyoda, the Akitsushima, the Kaohsiung, the Kaohsiung, the Shizumishima, the Maya, and the Uji.

These are large warships, as well as a bunch of torpedo bars and destroyers, mainly used for anti-submarine use. These small ships travel around to search for submarines.

However, twenty-six submarine ships of the East China Navy have already lurked near the Japanese Navy in an underwater state and can launch attacks at any time.

It was just because I had to breathe, so I didn't lurk for a long time. After lurking for most of the day, I found that the command center had no orders, so I drove to more than ten kilometers away to breathe.

The submarine troops received an order at the afternoon of the 8th of the Guyu month that they lurked around the Japanese warships to prepare for action at about 1:00 p.m. on the 9th.

The bombers of the East China Air Force were basically transferred to the Shahe temporary airport, and the airport staff also followed, and torpedoes and bombs were transported to Shahe Town. The airport began to prepare for tomorrow's bombing.

The airport has become a strategic location. The Huayou Special Forces were transferred by Xia Jun to Shahe Town Airport. They were responsible for protecting the airport. At the same time, an eight-kilometer-long cordon was set up around the airport, so that no one can get close to them.

The soldiers of the East China Special Forces were so depressed that they thought that fighting against Japan would have a mission to penetrate the enemy's backbone. Unexpectedly, they would just look at the airport when they received the order.

Xia Jun does not want to send East China special forces for the time being. After all, this is a regular war and it is a local war. It is best to carry out infiltration behind enemy lines with caution.

The army has a characteristic of fighting in foreign countries, that is, if it is harassed by civilians in enemy countries, they will wield a butcher knife, both Germany and Japan.

Xia Jun is fully capable of defeating the Japanese head-on, so the infiltration behind enemy lines did not proceed.

Wang Cheng and a group of special forces began the mission to see the airport.

Although the mission didn't seem to be big, Wang Cheng was very serious. Xia Jun greeted him and wanted to get out of the demon moth and let him go to the logistics army to report.

The airport is the top priority at this time, and any mistakes cannot occur.

While the East China Army was busy preparing to bomb the Japanese Navy warships, Japan was busy mobilizing soldiers, transporting soldiers and combat supplies, and was also extremely busy.

What made the Japanese Army Department happy is that the current situation has stabilized. The Japanese Empire and the Zhiren confronted the front line of Laizhou, which is very beneficial to the Imperial Japanese Army of Dayuan. After all, the military strength is at a disadvantage now.

The artillery fire of the East China Army was obviously beyond the expectations of the Japanese Army. At this time, the East China Army launched an attack, and the Japanese army case was delayed and could not defend the positions on the front line of Laizhou.

So the temporary confrontation is something that the Japanese Masatofu is happy to see.

They are mobilizing their troops to the greatest extent. As long as the troops are mobilized, the Japanese Empire can turn passively and take the initiative to launch a fierce attack on the Zhizhu, so that the Zhizhu can understand what the world's number one army is.

Although Xia Jun did not harass the enemy behind, there was also infiltration behind the enemy, mainly based on the investigation committee.

The scouts of the East China Army soon discovered an abnormality in Longkou. The Japanese army was mobilizing troops on a large scale to support the Shandong battlefield. Not only the Japanese First Division, but the scouts also saw the logo of the Japanese Second Division.

This situation immediately attracted the attention of the command center, and the staff immediately made an estimate, and found that after the Japanese army added two new divisions, the troops would increase to 170,000.

The East China Army had only eight divisions, or 110,000 troops, which seemed to be basically on par with the Japanese army. At the same time, there were 100,000 militias behind the East China Army to protect the transportation lines and logistics forces, and at the same time, there were nearly 80,000 logistics forces, and more than 20,000 drivers alone were transferred.

"To be conservative, we'd better transfer the production corps to the next few days to maintain their superiority in force." Chen Xuanyu suggested to Xia Jun.

At present, the East China Army has arranged four production corpses in the Northeast, and in the seven East China Autonomous Provinces, there are five production corpses that have been established for almost a year.

These five production corps have begun to gain combat effectiveness and are no worse than regular troops in terms of equipment.

"Then we will draw the Sanjin Production Corps to form a reserve army." Xia Jun thought about it and said bluntly that the Sanjin Production Corps was transferred to be a reserve team. In this way, the East China Army's troops will be very abundant, unlike the current situation where we have to be a reserve team from the Second Army.

There are still fewer divisions in reserve.

These three production corpses were transferred to the front line, and both the First Army and the Second Army could be put into the battlefield, while the Three Production corps of the First Reserve Army were in the rear to deal with possible situations at any time.

Xia Jun was not proud of himself. If he had to mess up, even if the East China Army was equipped with good equipment, there might be big problems. Then he would have to buy more advanced weapons and put them on the battlefield. These new weapons were a bit unreasonable.

Just when the battle in Shandong was in full swing, Xia Jun was secretly exchanging bullets, shells, bombs and other combat supplies, which was equivalent to cheating.

Of course, cheating must be technical.

These combat materials were transported from various ports. At present, the East China Army occupied the Danfang, and the engineers quickly built the railway, so these materials could be directly taken on the railway line, transferred from the Jingpu Railway to the Jiaoji Railway, and transported directly to the front line.

At the same time, the East China Army is still forming a new artillery unit. The East China Army has built a regular artillery division before, but the Tian Artillery Division and the Op Artillery Division are trained together because they have no artillery.

However, artillery was also transported from the port one after another. A division needed to build a door, and the g.m caliber howitzers were all transported from the port. Xia Jun had too many points in his hand, so he didn't care about this little gun.

At the same time, Xia Jun also bought a rapid-fire cannon for the division, and asked the military headquarters to form another rapid-fire cannon battalion in the rear.

Together, these artillery have reached the "Bimen. The other three professional infantry divisions and the seventh-day production corps have also reached the total number of mortars, Nimen.

However, there are no more caliber mortars. Jian'an military factory has produced several larger caliber mortars, but it is obvious that the gun steel is not up to standard, and it is too heavy if the caliber is large. Such heavy things do not conform to the marching philosophy of the East China Army, so they are not equipped with troops.

Xia Jun has already thought about it. When this world war is over, he will immediately solve the gun steel problem and solve the mortar problem clearly.

However, as of now, the AXMM caliber mortar is already the most advanced. Although it does not have the power of the large-bore radial cannon, the mortar itself is a weapon carried by infantry. The German-style big Taber, which is a bit exaggerated to the East China Army.

In the early morning of September 9, Xia Jun arrived at Shahe Town, and the combat command of the East China Army also moved to Shahe Town, only twenty kilometers away from the front line.

This distance is already very safe. After all, the Japanese cannons cannot be so far away, and the East China Army cannons are not vegetarians.

The temporary airport in Shahe Town has expanded several times in the construction day and night. The main problem of bombing Japanese warships is that the airport is too small and it is impossible to load every return aircraft in time.

However, after the airport is expanded and the number of staff increases, these problems are no longer problems.

The command center named the operation, Operation Thunder, "is scheduled to be carried out at 1:00 this afternoon, and the bomber formation has all been hung with torpedoes and heavy bombs.

The load capacity of the heavy hammer is just enough to hang a q-arc m-caliber torpedo, and the naked bomb is about kilograms, and it can also carry a four-kilogram bomb.

All four heavy hammers are loaded with heavy bombs.

All the people who knew about this plan were looking at their watches from time to time as time approached, and they could not wait!
