Chapter 454: Preparing for North China (2)

In the eyes of Luo Ronghuan and others, Han Yunhua was completely hysterical, and he was ready to fight with the little devils, in addition to the 400,000 old troops who were indeed very strong in combat and the weapons and equipment were not bad, the remaining 200,000 troops had almost no weapons and equipment, although Yang Ruihua had taken out all the weapons and equipment in the inventory, and even the Zhongguan Hanyangzao, which was not eye-catching before, had taken out, but there were still more than 100,000 troops without weapons.

Although after more than two months of training, these infantry divisions initially had the appearance of troops, but because they had no weapons and equipment, the morale of the troops was not high, and the overall combat effectiveness was still very weak.

Moreover, during this period of time, in order to assist the border region government in developing the economy and fighting a large-scale production battle, the military region was tilting its manpower, material resources, and financial resources toward the border region government, and the little money that the military region had managed to accumulate was flowing to the border region government at an alarming speed. Yang Ruihua, the big housekeeper, was very distressed, and advised Han Yunhua many times not to go back to Yan'an, because he would have to bleed once when he returned to the military region.

Everyone understands the truth of the seventy-one drums, let alone a veteran like Tada, and the threat of the Inner M-NG Ancient Military Region has reached the point where it must be solved urgently. However, the combat effectiveness shown by the M-NG Ancient Military Region was really amazing, and the last war was only a little more than a month, and it was still under the condition that the Japanese army was in absolute superiority, but it was still eaten by the M-NG Ancient Military Region, and nearly 100,000 casualties were caused.

Tada Jun was frightened by the Inner M-NG Ancient Military Region, there was no way, the adjusted North China Front Army only had eight field divisions and four independent infantry brigades and 200,000 troops, although the puppet North China Jingsui Army also had 28 infantry divisions and two cavalry divisions after expansion, and there were also eight independent infantry groups, with a total strength of 280,000 people, but in fact, at this time, the defensive strength of North and North China had fallen to the lowest point in history, and self-protection was still insufficient, so it still had the ability to attack.

At present, Tada Jun only hopes that the southward plan can be implemented in a short period of time and can achieve the expected results, and then the troops that have been transferred can be rebuilt as soon as possible. Let him, the commander of the North China Front, be more stable, unlike those who are trembling now, even if they find that the squadron has come to the city at dawn that day.

In order to maintain this tacit understanding, Han Yunhua specially ordered the 1st Field Division to stop the attack on the Shandong counties on the surface, and Tada Jun responded immediately, ordering the Japanese army that attacked the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region to return to Laiyuan immediately, and the Japanese army attacking southern Hebei also immediately returned to Shim-n, The movements of both sides are coordinated and they play each other very well.

However, whether it is Han Yunhua or Tada Jun, they all know what the other party has in mind, it is just a trick to raise jīng to accumulate strength, and when the time comes, one side will definitely not show mercy to the other party's subordinates.

Another two months had passed, and the time had already reached August 18, 1940, during which time there was no large-scale fighting in the whole of North China, and the entire Chinese battlefield fell into a brief lull, and both China and Japan seized this rare time to recuperate.

During this time, Han Yunhua's life was very fulfilling, the recruit unit had completed a four-month intensive training, the discipline and combat effectiveness of the troops had been significantly improved, and there was also good news from the border district government, the 359 Brigade and the Guisui Garrison Brigade, Jining Garrison Brigade, and Xilinhot Garrison Brigade of the Inner M-Ng Ancient Military Region had achieved the results of the production battle in Yan'an, and in just four months, 160,000 mu of land had been reclaimed, 1,200 pigs had been raised, and there were countless jī ducks and geese. Moreover, the crops are growing well, and a good harvest is already expected.

What made Han Yunhua happiest was the news from the troops sent to the northeast by the military region that Li Dingguo had made contact with many troops of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Alliance, and during the same period, several coalition forces had made substantial X-ng contacts, and the troops had also expanded a lot. Now their infantry brigade has nearly 8,000 people, and its prestige in the northeast is not small.

In addition, Li Dingguo applied to Han Yunhua to transfer some cadres with excellent political quality to the northeast to preside over the work. Han Yunhua knew that Li Dingguo was a practical talent and a good hand at fighting wars, but managing the ideological work of the troops was not something he was good at. Therefore, after consultations between Han Yunhua and other leaders of the military region, it was decided to establish the Suidong Military Sub-district, and Shen Y-Quan was transferred to the post of commander and political commissar of the Suidong Military Sub-district, which was under the jurisdiction of the 11th Division, the Fourth Cavalry Division, and the headquarters of Li Dingguo, which was far in the northeast. The development territory of the Suidong Military Division is in Tongliao, Chifeng, Shuangliao, and the entire northeast region.

While Han Yunhua was actively preparing for war in a small area, the Japanese army was not idle. At the same time, the Japanese government issued a general mobilization order for the second war, calling on young and middle-aged people throughout the country to actively participate in this "holy war."

In addition, Japan's intelligence agencies continued to infiltrate Southeast Asia, and almost all of its navy was mobilized, and its spearhead was directly aimed at the United States, Britain, and other countries in Southeast Asia.

The Japanese army's movements did not attract the attention of the United States and Britain and other countries, let alone issue a precautionary order against Japan, and everything was running according to the Japanese side's assumptions, which greatly excited the Japanese top bringers.

August 10, 1940, Tokyo, General Staff of the Japanese Army.

Prince Zaihito Miyaji, the de facto controller of the Japanese military department, sat somewhat oldly in the front seat, while the Minister of War Hideki Tojo and the Chief of Staff, Senior General Umezu Mijiro, sat beside him, and in this opulently decorated conference room, there were two generals, Koshiro Yoshikawa and Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto.

"Yoshikawa, how are you preparing, are you sure?" Prince Zaihito of the Idle Courtyard spoke in a deep voice, and his language was very concise.

Koshiro Yoshikawa immediately stood up and said: "Your Royal Highness, it is ready, our navy is confident that it will destroy all the naval forces of the United States in the Pacific Ocean in one fell swoop. ”

"Yo Sai, Yoshikawa, you are the Minister of the Navy of our Empire of Japan, and you are one of the few naval officers with strategic vision in the Empire, so Your Majesty has high expectations for you, this time the Empire has become a settlement in the war with the United States, and we do not rely on the Army in the Pacific, so your Navy must not live up to Your Majesty's trust"

"Hay, please rest assured that the navy of the Great Japanese Empire has a glorious tradition, and under the light of the god bushido, it will surely send the American Pacific Fleet to the bottom of the sea like the Beiyang Fleet that defeated the Qing Dynasty." Yoshikawa Furushiro said loudly.

"Yo Xi, please sit down" At this time, Prince Zaihito of the Idle Yuan Palace is not as confident as General Yoshikawa Koshiro, the United States is not China, the United States is powerful, there is no doubt about this, otherwise the empire will never allow it to develop under the nose of the empire, not that he does not want to clean up the United States, but he can't. Now although it is a last resort, Jae-in still doesn't have much confidence.

"Yamamoto, you are the commander of the Imperial Combined Fleet, have you thought about how to fight this battle?"
