Chapter 52: Saibei Fengyun (4)
After receiving the instructions of the superior chief, Han Yunhua immediately arranged for his troops to counterattack the Yue army. Although the army has absolute superiority in terms of strength and weaponry, the new second regiment, the first cavalry regiment, the second cavalry regiment, the third cavalry regiment, the new battalion of the fire support regiment and the reinforced artillery battalion led by Shen Yuquan are very familiar with the terrain of Tianzhen County. And the devil's chariot troops really can't play much role in the mountains, except for the chariot troops, the mobility of the devil's infantry is far inferior to Shen Yuquan's several cavalry regiments.
Although the cavalry units are not suitable for fighting in the mountains, the cavalry of the Inner Mongolia Military Region is stronger than the cavalry, in Han Yunhua's words, it is a group of infantry on war horses, so Han Yunhua believes that Shen Yuquan will not let the devils on the southern front set foot in the base area.
Han Yunhua was also very relieved about the mountain Fengwen from the direction of Zhangjiakou, although there was only one infantry regiment under Yang Chengwu in the Zhangbei area, Yang Chengwu's new regiment was the earliest unit formed in the Inner Mongolia Military Region, and it can be said that it was one of the most combat-effective regiments in the Inner Mongolia Military Region. Although the new regiment is numbered as a regimental establishment, Han Yunhua, as the commander, knows that the number of troops in the new regiment is far from being comparable to that of the regiments formed later. As far as Han Yunhua knew, the new regiment had won several successive battles in the Zhangbei area, incorporated seven or eight remnants of the Kuomintang troops and bandit troops that occupied the mountains as kings, and in addition there was a direct railway to Zhangjiakou in Zhangbei, after the new regiment robbed several trains in a row, the troops had all the weapons and equipment they needed.
In fact, not only did the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army not know how many people there were, but even Han Yunhua, the commander of the military region, did not know exactly how many regiments under the newly formed military region of Inner Mongolia had. As for the new regiment, it was also Yang Chengwu who accidentally made an "eighth battalion" when he sent a report to the headquarters of the military region, and Han Yunhua roughly knew the background of the new regiment. Afterwards, Han Yunhua sent a telegram to Yang Chengwu to ask about the troop establishment of the new regiment, and Yang Chengwu was not hypocritical, and told Han Yunhua happily that his new regiment now has 16 regular battalion-level troops of more than 600 people, in addition to a large number of local armed forces, and even the newly established Zhangbei County Party Committee and county government axe also has an elite unit of reinforced battalions.
Han Yunhua roughly calculated, the new regiment now has nearly 10,000 regular troops, and the ratio of the strength of the invading enemy is 2:1, plus the favorable factors of terrain and firepower, it should not be difficult to repel the Chinese garrison infantry brigade under the mountain.
Han Yunhua was most worried about the invading enemy on the Datong side, although the combat effectiveness of the army led by Major General Kuroda Shigetoku was the weakest of the four enemy enemies, but the guard regiment defending against the enemy on this road was also the weakest unit in the Inner Mongolia Military Region, and the Fengzhen line was between Datong and Jining, and the army could give the guard regiment a front and rear attack at any time.
Now the Inner Mongolia Military Region is no longer the 77th Brigade that used to be a big deal, and there are more than 300,000 people living in thousands of villages on the thousands of square kilometers of land where the troops are stationed. Han Yunhua did not dare to let any of the Yue armies enter the hinterland of the base area, and once the Yue army broke through the defense line of the Eighth Route Army, the consequences would be an unpredictable disaster.
At present, Han Yunhua has the following mobile forces that can be mobilized: the New Fifth Regiment, the New Sixth Regiment, the Fourth Cavalry Regiment, the Eighth Cavalry Regiment, the Ninth Cavalry Regiment, the Tenth Cavalry Regiment, the Fire Support Regiment, the First Artillery Regiment, and the Second Artillery Regiment.
Han Yunhua immediately ordered Ye Baoguo, who had rushed back from the Eastern Front, to immediately lead the New Fifth Infantry Regiment and the Tenth Cavalry Regiment to quickly rush to the front line of Fengzhen to support the guard regiment. At the same time, the 99th Regiment stationed in the Central Banner, the New Fourth Regiment stationed in the Houqi, and the New 3rd Regiment on the Shangdu and Huade fronts were ordered to quickly move to the front line of Zhuozi Mountain, and the 1st Battalion of the Guard Regiment stationed in the vicinity of Zhuozi Mountain should rely on the favorable terrain to block the enemy's 6th Division and slow down the enemy's attack, but be careful not to confront the enemy head-on. At the same time, he will personally lead the New Sixth Regiment, the Fourth Cavalry Regiment, the Eighth Cavalry Regiment, the Ninth Cavalry Regiment, the Fire Support Regiment, the First Artillery Regiment, and the Second Artillery Regiment to rush to the Zhuozi Mountain area.
Han Yunhua ordered Li Dayong to take advantage of the favorable opportunity when the devils were attacking the hinterland of the military region on a large scale and the devils in the area around Guisui were short of troops, vigorously developing the Saibei Army subdivision, to quickly control the counties, towns, and towns in the vicinity of Guisui and to be ready to support the military region in operations at any time.
As for the security of the base area, Han Yunhua handed it over to Yang Ruihua, director of the supply department and head of Xinghe County, and several county brigades, district squads, and militiamen in various villages under his hands. Although the armed forces in these places are not as strong as the regular troops, they are superior in numbers. In addition, it was mainly to defend against the devils in Jining City, and the devil garrison in Jining had been attacked by Han Yunhua's troops many times, and now they did not dare to enter the hinterland of the base area.
At nine o'clock in the evening of April 13, Han Yunhua led his troops to the mountainous area near the county seat of Zhuozishan, and successfully joined forces with the 99th Regiment, the New Fourth Regiment, and the New Third Regiment, which had already arrived in the area. Without taking a break, Han Yunhua immediately called several regiment leaders together to hold an emergency meeting.
After the meeting began, Han Yunhua first made a detailed report on the enemy situation, and then explained his battle plan to the commanders and political commissars of the various regiments present, and then asked the military commanders of each regiment to supplement the deficiencies in the battle plan.
Wang Jian, the commander of the 99th Regiment, was Han Yunhua's old subordinate, so he was not hypocritical, and spoke first: "Commander, what you mean is to rely on favorable factors to actively defend the devils in the direction of Zhangjiakou, Datong, and Tianzhen, and then concentrate firepower to attack the devils who came out of Guisui City. If this is the case, I think we should concentrate our firepower on destroying the devils in the direction of Datong or Zhangjiakou, instead of attacking the sixth division with the strongest strength of the devils, after all, persimmons are looking for soft pinching. ”
Han Yunhua said with a smile: "I know what you mean, but this time it is different, because the enemy we face is the Sixth Division of the Yue Army, this division is not well understood, but you remember that in this operation, we don't want a devil to be captured, whether it is a light or serious wounded or an ordinary soldier who surrenders voluntarily, I will shoot and kill." ”
Bai Caoshu, the political commissar of the New Fourth Regiment, said: "Why is this, we are violating the regulations of the higher authorities by doing this. ”
Han Yunhua said: "The enemy we face is the Sixth Division of the Chinese Army, this division committed unforgivable crimes during the occupation of Nanjing, more than 300,000 innocent Chinese people died at the hands of the Sixth and Sixteenth Divisions, and more than 20,000 Chinese women were **, so after the instructions of the superiors, our department can take free attacks against the enemy in front of them." ”
Liu Wenhua, commander of the fire support regiment, said: "Since the commander has decided to take this sixth division into action, then let's talk about how to fight, and there is no point in saying anything else." ”
Han Yunhua said: "Now the Sixth Division is resting in the county town of Zhuozishan County, and this time it is only a part of the Sixth Division that has invaded my base area, and the specific strength is the 11th Infantry Brigade of the 6th Division, the 6th Cavalry Wing, the 6th Field Artillery Wing, the 9th Cavalry Division of the Li Shouxin Department of the Puppet Mongolian Army, and the 11th Brigade of the Imperial Cooperative Army, with a total strength of about 16,000 people. Our strength includes the 99th Regiment, the New Third Regiment, the New Fourth Regiment, the New Sixth Regiment, the Fourth Cavalry Regiment, the Eighth Cavalry Regiment, the Ninth Cavalry Regiment, the Fire Support Regiment, the First Artillery Regiment, and the Second Artillery Regiment, with a total of four infantry regiments, three cavalry regiments, and three machine gun regiments. The New Sixth Regiment has three combat battalions and four directly subordinate companies, with a total of 2,546 personnel. Each of the three cavalry regiments had three cavalry battalions with a total of 1,217 men. The fire support regiment had three heavy machine-gun battalions armed with 40 heavy machine guns, with a total of 1,570 men. The two artillery regiments have a total of 2,677 personnel, and are equipped with a total of 125 82mm mortars, 60 75mm field guns, and 85 75mm mountain guns. Wang Jian, Wan Guoquan, and Li Dabao, your three regiments have been stationed abroad to develop, so take this opportunity to report to me, the commander, about your respective family backgrounds! In the past, every time I asked, I was spitting out, and it was up to you to point out. ”
Wang Jian touched his head a little embarrassed and said: "Our regiment has always been stationed in the middle banner of the right wing of Chahar, and the strength of the devils in my defense area is very weak. Later, our regiment incorporated several local horse bandits and received the arms of several Han and landlords, and now our regiment has 6 reinforced battalions full of 684 people, 2 cavalry brigades of 550 people, and a machine gun battalion equipped with 55 heavy machine guns, 125 light machine guns, and 36 mortars, and the whole regiment has a total of 6,424 personnel, 4,534 long and short rifles, 366 light and heavy machine guns, and 41 artillery pieces of various kinds. ”
As soon as Wang Jian finished speaking, the big guys were stunned, this guy is too good, he is more bullish than a brigade in [***]. However, everyone looked at Han Yunhua, who was sitting at the top, and they all had a feeling that they were in a nest.
They all think that with a leader like Han Yunhua, it is not strange to have another Wang Jian, isn't there an example of Li Dayong in front of him.
