Campaigns/campaign

Although Napoleon's army entered Russia with far more supplies than for any previous campaign, it had provisions for only twenty-four days.

Guys, should it not be any previous campaigns.... bit confused ..What is the difference? Can smn please help me?

Thank you

Here we refer to every campaign of Napoleon individually and so it is 'campaign'. here is an example: Sam's performance in the opera yesterday was better than any other of his previous ones.
