Chapter 592: Military Parade
Han Yunhua did not ask for much, he hoped that the Soviets would help the Inner Mongolia Military Region to build its own power plant, cement plant, and production plant for major aircraft parts -- he did not want the Soviets to pay a penny, they only needed to send a few experts to Baotou to guide the construction of the Inner Mongolia Military Region, and all the construction costs would be paid by the Inner Mongolia Military Region itself, and in addition, it would be able to support a number of machinery and equipment after the construction of the plant was completed.
And the equipment he needs is not the most advanced in the Soviet Union, as long as it is not scrapped, it is not a problem to be ten or eight years behind. As for the aircraft parts factory, it is only a parts factory, Han Yunhua only hopes that the fighters damaged in the battle can be repaired as soon as possible, instead of waiting for the United States or the Soviet Union to deliver parts, and the engine can not be produced, so it will be recognized, but at least the landing gear and some of the most basic things that do not have much scientific and technological gold content should be produced by themselves.
Han Yunhua has not learned anything else in his fighting career for so many years, but he has a deep understanding of one thing, that is, don't pin your hopes on others, no matter when only you are the most reliable.
Stalin was surprised that Han Yunhua did not ask for weapons and fighters this time, but instead asked for these constructive things. As a politician, Stalin's vision was still very vicious, and he could see Han Yunhua's intentions at a glance, and at the same time greatly admired the vision of this Chinese comrade.
Since the Soviet Union did not need to spend a penny, then Stalin was of course willing, he called Han Yunhua, and he would personally instruct the Komsomolsk to send 20 experts to Baotou immediately to wait for Han Yunhua's dispatch. In addition, Stalin praised Kong Yang and others, saying that he had seen real warriors. Although Han Yunhua didn't know what Kong Yang and the others had done to make Stalin so appreciative, it must have been Kong Yang and the others who showed their housekeeping skills.
Han Yunhua stayed in Yan'an for only four days and hurried back to Guisui, because the central authorities scheduled to hold a ceremony for the establishment of the Saibei International Military Command College in Guisui half a month later, that is, on 7 July, and Han Yunhua had to return to Guisui to make early preparations, because there would be representatives of the United States and the Soviet Union attending the meeting.
On June 29, Han Yunhua returned to Guisui by special car, in view of the importance of the matter, Han Yunhua sent a telegram to Luo Ronghuan and Zuo Quan and others on the road, asking them to immediately set off for Guisui, and each military subdivision should send an elite infantry regiment to Guisui for emergency training.
Gui Suicheng is still the same, different from Baotou, although there are some changes in Gui Suicheng, but the changes are far less than Baotou. When Han Yunhua's convoy rushed back to Sui, he saw that the entire Guisui city was full of moving cars and galloping war horses, and the city gate was basically blocked, and the scene was a little chaotic.
Han Yunhua ordered the driver to stop the car and looked at the scene in front of him with interest, to be honest, this was the first time he had seen a traffic jam in this era, this kind of scene was too familiar and kind.
"Commander, I'll go ahead first, and you can wait in the car now." Guard Wang Yunyi knew that Han Yunhua was in a hurry, and it was not the same thing to be stuck outside the city gate all the time.
"Well, hurry up, the commissar will arrive at eight o'clock, and we are already two hours late." Han Yunhua said.
"Okay!"
Wang Yunyi has not followed Han Yunhua for a long time, only a little more than a year, but Wang Yunyi's name is known to many people. Wang Yunyi himself was born in special forces, and he was also a member of the entire special operations team with extremely high grades, but he himself was not keen on leading troops, so Wang Xiaohu transferred him to Han Yunhua's side as a guard to protect Han Yunhua's safety - after a long time, everyone knew that there was such a captain Wang by the commander's side. …,
Soon there was movement at the city gate, and soon the convoy blocking the city gate moved quickly, those who could enter the city entered the city, and those who could not enter the city stopped by the moat, and the road was soon opened.
After entering the city, Han Yunhua immediately rushed to the headquarters of the Saibei Army Division, where Luo Ronghuan, Zuo Quan and others were already waiting for him, and Deng Gong, the political commissar of the Northern Air Force who had just taken office, was also waiting for Han Yunhua, so he couldn't help but hurry. When Han Yunhua walked into the headquarters of the Saibei Army Division, the guards told Han Yunhua that the political commissar was having a meeting, and asked him to tell Han Yunhua that he could go directly to the large conference room.
There were many people in the conference room, in addition to Luo Ronghuan and Zuo Quan, who rushed directly from Zhangjiakou, there were also several high-ranking officials of the Saibei Military Sub-district, and several leading cadres of the Northern Air Force of China were also present. Seeing Han Yunhua walk in, everyone stood up, which was a sign of respect for Han Yunhua.
"Sit, everyone, please sit, the road conditions on the road are not good, so it was delayed for a while. Where have you got, keep talking. Han Yunhua said.
"That's right, we were just talking about how to arrange the infantry regiments you requested, after receiving your order, the six major military divisions and the Northeast People's Liberation Army have sent their most elite infantry regiments, and now the seven infantry regiments have been assembled. However, due to the limited space, the vast majority of the more than 20,000 people who suddenly gained more than 20,000 people are still living outside the city, and the management is a bit chaotic. Tan Zhenlin, commander of the Northern Serbian Military Division, responded.
"Are they all here, how many people are there, and what are the weapons and equipment?" Han Yunhua continued to ask.
"The seven infantry regiments have all been assembled, and none of them is bad, and the number reported by the various military divisions is 24,622 men. They are all the absolute elite of each military division, and they are basically composed of veterans, and their combat effectiveness is not to mention. I haven't looked at the armament yet, but take the infantry regiment of our Northern Serbian Army Division, all German Mauser K98, 75 light machine guns per regiment, 16 heavy machine guns, 6 mortars, 55 grenadiers, 2 anti-aircraft machine guns, 2 unconscionable guns, extremely well-equipped, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is armed to the teeth. Tan Zhenlin said.
"What about the uniform, new or old?" Han Yunhua said.
"The vast majority of them are old military uniforms, because in the past two years, our troops have expanded very strongly, and there is a lot of pressure on logistics support, and each recruit will be issued a new military uniform after enlistment, and then it was originally said that a set is given every year, but in fact, our clothing factory does not have such a large production capacity, so the vast majority of soldiers only have one set of military uniforms for war and march, and they continue to wear them if they are broken. And this time, the people who came to Guisui for training are all veterans, and they are very strong in all aspects, but only the military uniforms are torn and cannot be torn anymore, and I see that the military uniforms of several regiment commanders and political commissars are almost no longer worn. Tan Zhenlin said.
"Lao Yang, is the production capacity of our clothing factory so weak, I remember that at that time, we stipulated that each recruit would be issued two sets of new military uniforms after enlisting in the army, why has it become one set now?" Han Yunhua turned his head to Yang Ruihua, the Minister of Logistics, and asked.
Yang Ruihua smiled bitterly and said, "My commander, you don't know that oil and salt are expensive." Your old man is happy to wave his pen and go to form 10 infantry divisions, but do you know that the output of the 45 quilt factories under the jurisdiction of our entire military region is only more than 2,000 sets of quilts a day, and this is still the output when the supply of raw materials is sufficient. Your 10 infantry divisions have at least 200,000 people, even if each person has a set of military uniforms, it will cost 200,000 sets, which is the output of the entire military region in the past four months, from last year to this year, your old man has formed a total of nearly 30 infantry divisions, and you have already booked next year's output, and now many recruits have not seen our new military uniforms, and some of them are good to wear, and there are two sets. ”
Yang Ruihua, the logistics minister, is also very embarrassed, the regulations of the military region are there, every time a recruit division is formed, a large number of materials and equipment must be taken from him, and the division commander doesn't care if you have it or not, anyway, you have to give it to me when I come. In addition to telling the quilt factory to increase production on the one hand, Yang Ruihua also had to buy the gray cloth produced by the farmers on the other hand, and make some military uniforms like the Eighth Route Army as compensation. …,
"Okay Lao Yang, I know you are in a dilemma here, but now our military region has received a political task from the central authorities, and on 7 July, the chairman, Vice Chairman Zhou, and Commander-in-Chief Zhu will all go to Guisui to attend the inauguration ceremony of the Saibei International Military Command College. Therefore, the chairman asked our military region to show off its muscles at the inauguration ceremony to deter the national government, and also to show the Soviet Union and the United States and other countries the strength of our country, so that they know that every gun that supports us is valuable. Han Yunhua said.
"Then how does this muscle show the method, I don't know what the commander is going to do?" Luo Ronghuan asked thoughtfully.
Han Yunhua said with a smile: "There are not many soldiers, and besides, how can all the 1 or hundreds of thousands of troops in our military region be brought to show them, so I plan to hold a large-scale military parade in Guisui on the 5th anniversary of the Lugou Bridge Incident, and the arms participating in the parade will include artillery, tank troops, engineers, special forces, electronic countermeasures troops, air force, etc., and the troops participating in the parade are all regimental units, and any more will be a waste." ”
"Well, this idea is very good, this military parade is the most effective in showing strength in addition to fighting, it is impossible to fight in actual combat, it is impossible for us to pull the chairman and all foreign guests to the battlefield to watch us fight, so it is necessary to have a decent military parade. However, there are only 8 days left until July 7th, and this time is a bit too rushed, if you lose face on that occasion, it will really be a shame abroad. Luo Ronghuan said worriedly.
"Hehehe, don't worry, my big political commissar, how many winds and waves have come, how can you capsize in this small gutter, isn't it just a military parade, when we were just an anti-Japanese brigade, didn't we have a military parade, how can the army develop into a military region, don't worry, now we will divide the work, I will serve as the commander-in-chief of this parade, Lao Luo, you are responsible for the reception of the head of the Central Committee and foreign guests, Lao Yang, you are responsible for the logistics of this parade, Zhuang Fei, you and the intelligence department are responsible for the anti-enemy and anti-special work during this military parade, Commander Tan, you are responsible for the construction of the site and the related work of patrolling the troops on duty, Lao Deng, you are responsible for the affairs of the Air Force, and the numbers and personnel of all the participating units must be sent to my office before this evening. In addition, all units participating in the parade must undergo three days of training, and on the day of the parade, all the air forces will be assembled, and all fighter planes will take to the air regardless of whether they are participating in the parade or not, and the entire military region will enter a wartime state from today. Han Yunhua said loudly.
"Yes!"
"Lao Yang, this is the new military uniform I designed for the Air Force, you immediately let the clothing factory rush to produce 3,000 sets out, and all the soldiers participating in the parade this time should be changed into the latest military uniforms, you quickly solve it."
"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"
Under Han Yunhua's order, the entire Inner Mongolia Military Region was running at high speed, and several high-level leaders were also busy staring at their own stalls, even Han Yunhua, the commander-in-chief of the military parade.
Han Yunhua didn't have anything to worry about the infantry, after all, the most powerful thing in the Inner Mongolia Military Region was the infantry. In terms of cavalry, there are Aolige and a large number of Mongolian cadres, and there will not be much of a mistake in the future, and Aolege has also participated in the previous military parade, and Han Yunhua is also relieved that he has experience and strength.
After all, the Air Force is a newly established branch of the armed forces, and it has not participated in many battles, and it is the first time that it has participated in such a military parade, and besides, such a big move of the Inner Mongolia Military Region will definitely not be able to hide from little Japan, and it is not guaranteed that the air force of the little devils will come to make trouble on the day of the parade, and whether the Air Force is at the top may be tested by actual combat. …,
On the morning of the 30th, Han Yunhua came to the airport on the outskirts of Guisui. Guisui Airport is the largest military airport in the Inner Mongolia Military Region, which can park 400 fighters at the same time, and there are 12 high-quality runways of 5,000 meters.
Knowing that Han Yunhua was coming, Comrade Xiaoping and several senior cadres of the Air Force waited for Han Yunhua outside the airport early.
The convoy slowly stopped outside the airport gate, and Han Yunhua opened the car door and walked down without waiting for Wang Yunyi to react, and greeted Political Commissar Deng and others.
After some greetings, accompanied by Political Commissar Deng and others, Han Yunhua entered the airport. The entire airfield was a bit busy, with a large number of soldiers in green infantry uniforms refueling and reloading planes, as well as a large number of soldiers overhauling fortifications and anti-aircraft fortifications.
Unlike other troops, the garrison of the airport is mainly composed of machine guns and antiaircraft artillery, and Guisui Airport is not only equipped with 54 12.5mm antiaircraft machine guns, but also 25 heavy machine guns and more than 200 light machine guns, and even the antiaircraft guns that are extremely lacking in the Inner Mongolia Military Region are also equipped with 24 guns, and its anti-aircraft firepower is far beyond everyone's expectations.
"Old Deng, do you know anything about the Air Force?" Han Yunhua still has no bottom in his heart about the great political commissar sent to him by the central government, after all, what he has to do now is the air force, not the infantry that Political Commissar Deng is best at.
"To be honest, I don't know anything about the Air Force, but I believe I can still do a good job as a political commissar of the Air Force. I am not an expert in the Air Force, but whether it is the Air Force or the Army, talent is the most important thing. With the assistance of Comrade Shangguan Qingyun and General Bayanruf in the war, I only need to take care of people. "Political Commissar Deng is very realistic, and he can say whatever he thinks in his heart.
Han Yunhua suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, no matter where he was, what he was most afraid of was a layman leading an insider. Political Commissar Deng has done a really good job in this regard, it doesn't matter if I don't understand, I will hand over the places I don't know to people who know how to do it, this is the royal way of employing people.
"How many fighters are there at Guisui Airport now, and are the pilots and other personnel equipped enough?" Han Yunhua continued to ask.
"Now there are 200 Lager-5 fighters in the airport, and the other 200 old Yi-15 and 16 fighters were transferred to Baotou Airport this morning to make room for the 200 P40s in the United States. There are enough logistics and security personnel at the airport, and there are more than 8,000 permanent personnel at the airport, which is no problem. However, the progress of the construction of our air situation network is very slow, and although the Soviet side has provided us with two sets of radio equipment, there are basically no people who can operate them, and this is the biggest difficulty we have at present. Political Commissar Deng said slowly.
"Well, that's a problem, but that's for later, and the most important thing right now is to get the parade right. The air force is the most important part of this military parade, because the air force not only has to participate in the parade, but also has to be responsible for air vigilance, and I judge that the little devils are likely to use this day to make a fuss, and you must know that it is not only high-ranking officials of the Nationalist Government who come to watch the ceremony, but also representatives of the United States, the Soviet Union, and Britain, and the Japanese will not give up the opportunity to intimidate the Americans. Therefore, we must be prepared with both hands, except for the 36 fighters participating in the parade, all the rest will be in the air to ambush the Japanese, and as long as this battle is fought, the Americans and Soviets will beg us to accept their assistance. Han Yunhua said solemnly.
"I have also discussed this point with Comrade Qingyun, and he believes that the most likely air raid on Guisui should be Japan's Zero fighter group and the 97 Heavy Bombardment, because only the Japanese Zero Fighter and the 97 Heavy Bombardment have the endurance to complete the bombing of Guisui. At present, the Japanese army in North China does not have a large-scale Zero fighter group, nor does it have a 97 heavy bomb group of more than 30 planes, so we judge that the Japanese are likely to send a group of planes from the Northeast region to carry out this mission. Political Commissar Deng said.
Han Yunhua thought for a while and said: "This judgment coincides with me, Comrade Qingyun, then do you have confidence in defending Guisui's airspace?" Han Yunhua looked at Shangguan Qingyun with interest.
Shangguan Qingyun said loudly: "Comrade commander, if the Japanese come with Zero fighters, I am confident that they will be completely defeated, but if they come with Type 96 fighters or other fighters, the victory or defeat will be between five and five." ”
