Chapter 634: Undercurrents are surging

After returning to Guisui, Han Yunhua immediately went to the compound of the Central Military Commission to report to the chairman and others about the group, and reported in detail to several leaders of the central authorities on all the experiences of his trip to Cairo. In fact, the central government has also heard about what Han Yunhua has done in North Africa during this time, and the newspapers and magazines of the United States and Britain and other countries are about to go crazy during this time, frantically reporting on Han Yunhua, the Chinese general, from the initial curiosity to the final surprise, the mainstream media of the United States and Britain and other countries quickly dug up Han Yunhua's life history and performance in North Africa during this time, and even the secret of Han Yunhua's many war plans for the Soviet Union was exposed, and the level of detail made Han Yunhua smack his tongue in surprise, The power of the media is enormous, no matter what time it is. And the media in the United States should not be underestimated, if Japan's special high-tech has the ability of the American paparazzi, why is it now forced by Han Yunhua to have nowhere to hide?

Of course, this is just Han Yunhua's joke, and if Japan's special high-tech technology really can't even match the capabilities of the US media, then it is impossible for Japan to find out so accurately the intelligence of the Pacific Rim in just a few decades, and the US Pearl Harbor will not be bombed into ruins by the Japanese. Moreover, Han Yunhua was very suspicious that the things published in American magazines were not collected by the media themselves, and not that some force could leak them. Moreover, the interception of Japanese fighters on his return to China made Han Yunhua believe that it was boring.

After reporting to the central leaders, Han Yunhua returned to Guisui's home, which was quite lively. Although the Yuhan people are still in the northeast, the mother-in-law and her two sons followed the central authorities to Guisui, because there was a sudden influx of so many departments in the city. As a result, houses and the like were suddenly in short supply. Moreover, the geological conditions in Guisui are not suitable for digging caves, so Jiang Lifang took Han Yunhua's two sons to live in his house in Guisui.

Han Yunhua was not at home during this time, but another person also moved in, which was beyond Han Yunhua's expectations. This person is none other than others. It is Li Yuhan's best friend, He Yajing, the dean of the rear general hospital.

Speaking of He Yajing, Han Yunhua had a bit of a headache, he didn't know the identity of this plainly dressed girl before, he could face it calmly, but now he didn't dare to treat her as an ordinary comrade. The last time Minister He Da of the Ministry of Military Affairs of the Nationalist Government arrived in Guisui, he took time to have a secret conversation with him, and this time the focus of the secret agent was about this Dean He. In Minister He's words, this Dean He is his daughter, but this daughter is only admitted by himself, and the vast majority of the He family don't know that he has such a daughter.

In addition, Minister He Da expressed his anger at this little daughter's participation in the Eighth Route Army, but also had to reluctantly accept it. He once sent someone to find He Yajing, but this Miss He was unwilling to go back, and she was anxious to join the Eighth Route Army since it was said that it was to pursue Han Yunhua, a young anti-Japanese hero. At first, Minister He thought it was just a pretext for this wayward little daughter, but after a period of observation, he found out. It's really possible that it was said to the youngest daughter.

The last time Minister Guisui He told Han Yunhua about this, hoping that Han Yunhua could let his little daughter go back. Han Yunhua only smiled bitterly at this, it was the first time he had heard that this Dean He under his command actually had a relationship with Minister He, and he was so close. After talking to He Yajing, Han Yunhua could only persuade Minister He to go back to Chongqing by himself. Because this Miss He is determined to join the Eighth Route Army.

He Yajing likes Han Yunhua's things Li Yuhan is clear, on one side is a best friend and on the other hand is a husband, although Li Yuhan is a little simple, but not stupid, and women's intuition in this regard is extremely accurate. However, Li Yuhan did not break it. On the one hand, she could see that Han Yunhua did not call this Dean He, and on the other hand, Li Yuhan could also see that this Dean He was not the kind of person who snatched love with a knife. Especially after recognizing the little broken kidnapping brother as his godson, he put half of his energy into the two little guys, and took care of the little ones more than Li Yuhan, a genuine mother. So when Han Yunhua told Li Yuhan the news he knew, Li Yuhan was surprised but didn't say anything, just let Han Yunhua maintain the status quo. …,

Seeing Han Yunhua come back, He Yajing was obviously very happy, unconsciously it has been more than five years, 38 years when she saw Han Yunhua for the first time in Wuhan, at that time Han Yunhua was just a hairy boy, although he was already a lieutenant general awarded by the National Government at that time, but the actual age was only less than 24 years old, a very young man. After reading the report on the deeds of this young general, He Yajing couldn't help falling in love with the CCP general, and later flew to Guisui like a moth to a fire, and worked for five years. Now she is also a regular army-level cadre, and at least she is a field army commander or political commissar in the field army, but she still looks at him from a distance as she did a few years ago, although she also knows that it is almost impossible between them.

Han Yunhua's two sons liked this godmother very much, but they were very angry with Han Yunhua's father, and they directly omitted the godmother's dry word when they called it, and Han Yunhua and He Yajing, who only listened, were embarrassed.

Han Yunhua had already eaten dinner at the chairman's house, and it was braised pork, so after returning home, he did not let Jiang Lifang cook the meal, but hugged his eldest son to chat with his mother-in-law.

For Han Yunhua's trip to North Africa this time, both Jiang Lifang and He Yajing are extremely curious, China has always been synonymous with poverty and weakness, and there has never been a large-scale international conference to invite China to participate, even if it is invited, it is to play soy sauce, such as the Paris Peace Conference, the so-called peace meeting made the Chinese once again deeply understand that weak countries have no diplomacy. Although the Cairo Conference could not be compared with the Paris Peace Conference in terms of scale, it was still a large-scale international conference, and it is conceivable that the Nationalist Government would be the main participant, after all, the main purpose of this conference was to discuss the war against the fascist countries, and China, a country that contained most of Japan's troops, could not be taken seriously.

However, this is also the Nationalist Government, and this time the international community has invited the Chinese Communist Party to participate in the meeting, which is a big surprise to everyone. What is even more unpredictable is that Han Yunhua stayed in North Africa for more than a month after the meeting, which is really incredible.

For Jiang Lifang and He Yajing, Han Yunhua did not have too many reservations, except for some military top secrets, Han Yunhua told them in detail about the location of this trip to North Africa.

Han Yunhua stayed in Guisui for two days. The main thing is to accompany the chairman and others to inspect the troops near Guisui, and Commander-in-Chief Zhu has also inspected the nearby troops before, but the report that he came back said that these troops lacked a momentum compared to the elite of the Inner Mongolia Military Region, but he himself did not know what kind of momentum it was, so the chairman specially asked Han Yunhua to see for himself what was missing in this group of troops withdrawn from Yan'an to Guisui, which made Commander-in-Chief Zhu feel so emotional.

After inspecting the four infantry divisions, Han Yunhua told the chairman that although these units were impeccable in all aspects such as military discipline. But it only lacks the sharpness that a soldier should have. Sharp spirit is not vigorous, these troops are all composed of rural children with innocent family backgrounds, and they are full of vitality. However, because this unit had been in Yan'an all along, it had not participated in the war against Japan. Only occasionally suppressed bandits, hard-fought battles were hardly fought, soldiers and cadres from the inside to the outside lacked a kind of murderous and sharp spirit after life and death experience on the battlefield, this army can be said to be a good doll is a model force, but it is not a strong combat force.

Now there are still a large number of such recruit units in the center. Or they have formed units that have not been on the battlefield for several years, so Han Yunhua suggested that the central authorities should pull these troops to the battlefield at an appropriate time, and the Central Military Commission should begin to unify and reorganize all kinds of armed forces under the leadership of the Communist Party. In particular, the three front armies and the New Fourth Army below the Eighth Route Army are likely to reach Jiangnan in the near future. Directly fighting the elite of the Japanese army in Central China and South China, if it is still a chaotic organization of impure combat personnel. Even if you win the battle, your own losses will definitely not be too small. …,

The central authorities held that Han Yunhua's proposal was very worthy of consideration, so they decided to send an inspection group to the Inner Mongolia Military Region to inspect it, mainly to see the establishment of the Inner Mongolia Military Region, because in the previous period of fighting, all groups of the Inner Mongolia Military Region fought very well, and this time the reorganized 300th Army went to Guisui to be inspected by the central authorities before going south to participate in the expeditionary force, and the entire unit left an extremely deep impression on the central leadership, and Han Yunhua had no doubt about this.

On 18 March, the Allied forces sent a commendation notice stating that in view of Han Yunhua's outstanding performance in the Sicily landing battle, the U.S. government, the British government, the French government, and the Soviet government unanimously decided to confer the rank of army general on Han Yunhua, and at the same time appoint Han Yunhua as an advisor to the general of the Allied Operational Command Office.

On March 19, Han Yunhua returned to Shenyang, and after more than two months of busyness, the land reform in the northeast region was basically completed, and 40 million landless peasants were allocated land, and Han Yunhua also distributed to the peasants a large amount of resources necessary for agricultural production confiscated from the Japanese pioneer group, and also provided them with seeds for spring farming.

Han Yunhua knew that the black soil in the northeast region was one of the most fertile in the world, and it was difficult to harvest crops on such land, and the fall of the northeast region for more than ten years had greatly damaged the economy of the entire region, so the Inner Mongolia Military Region must give the peasants some help in agriculture in order to promote economic development.

What makes Han Yunhua most pleased is that after several months of struggle, the industrial base of Northeast China has basically been repaired, dozens of steel plants and cement plants have begun to be put into operation, and a large number of arsenals have also begun to produce.

On 20 March, Han Yunhua convened a military conference in Shenyang, which was attended by all commanders and political commissars of the Inner Mongolia Military Region.

The meeting was held at the former enemy headquarters of the Inner Mongolia Military Region, and although the battle in the northeast had ended, a new war was about to begin, so Han Yunhua's former enemy command had not been revoked.

The main purpose of this meeting was to launch the last battle against the Japanese puppet army in North China, and now the Inner Mongolia Military Region is full-fledged, and the total number of arms has exceeded 3 million, while the total number of Japanese puppet troops in the entire northern China is only 600,000, and the time is ripe to sweep away the Japanese army, so it is imperative to launch the final battle against the Japanese army in North China.

The meeting lasted for eight hours, and in the end the participants agreed that it was necessary to start a major war in the near future. However, it was necessary for the Nationalist Government to fight with the Japanese army in the Wuhan area, and then the Inner Mongolia Military Region could support the Nationalist Government's Third Battle of Wuhan on the one hand. On the other hand, it can avoid a lot of trouble.

Just when the Inner Mongolia Military Region held a military meeting, news came from the Wuhan front that Chiang Kai-shek ordered the troops on the Wuhan front to launch an attack on the Japanese army, and more than 30 integrated divisions rushed to the Japanese puppet positions like wolves and tigers. In this battle, the Nationalist Government made a bloody investment. A total of 750,000 troops were invested, including 420,000 from the central army of the Nationalist Government, 330,000 from local troops, and a large number of directly subordinate troops, including the air force and navy, also participated in the war.

Han Yunhua immediately ordered the 1st Bomber Brigade and the 1st Fighter Brigade of the Joint Air Force Command to immediately fly to Chengdu Airport to help the Nationalist Government in the Third Battle of Wuhan. The Nationalist Government is very grateful to the CCP for its help, and in addition, the Nationalist Government also hopes that the integrated 300th Army, which has just arrived in Chengdu, can slow down its southward movement and turn around to participate in the Third Battle of Wuhan.

After careful consideration by the central government. The Central Committee asked Han Yunhua to reply to Chiang Kai-shek that the Communists agreed to reorganize the 300th Army to participate in the Third Battle of Wuhan, but the Nationalist Government absolutely could not let this elite army fall into the enemy's siege.

The strong counterattack of the Nationalist government really took the Japanese side by surprise, as the Chinese army continued to expand. The Japanese army was forced to continuously increase its forces on the Chinese battlefield, and so far the total strength of the Japanese army in the Chinese battlefield has exceeded 1.5 million, including 700,000 in North China, 500,000 in Central China, and 300,000 in South China. In addition, there were 100,000 military police units and air force units, and in order to resist the counterattack of the Nationalist government, the Japanese army immediately sent a large number of elites into the Wuhan battlefield. In addition, it continued to increase troops from within Japan to Central China. …,

On 22 March, the Japanese government issued the Fourth National War Mobilization Order to the whole country, and the military headquarters also promptly came up with a plan to expand the army by forming 40 C-class divisions, and so far the total strength of the Japanese army in various battlefields has exceeded 5 million. Among them, there are 500,000 troops in Korea, 1.5 million in China, 100,000 in Taiwan, 1.8 million in Southeast Asia, 1 million in China, and about 100,000 on overseas islands and bases. Historically, the Japanese army once expanded to 6.8 million. But now that the industrial base and resource base of Northeast China has been lost, the war potential of the Japanese is greatly limited. Given Japan's economic situation, it can raise an army of less than 5 million at most, and it is now extremely close to the bottom line of Japan's combat strength.

At the same time that the Nationalist Government launched the Third Battle of Wuhan, there was also an undercurrent in Europe, the news of Mussolini's arrest had reached Berlin, and the angry Hitler immediately prepared to send troops to attack Italy directly, but in view of the fact that there is now a big war in various battlefields, Germany cannot draw so many troops to occupy Italy for the time being, although the Italian army Hitler does not look at it, and Mussolini's life safety will not be guaranteed, so Hitler decided to send people to Italy to rescue Mussolini.

After thinking about who to send to carry out this mission, Hitler decided to let his wolf's den special combat team complete this great mission. The German special forces are very powerful, and if the special forces in the world can be called special forces except for the special forces he trained, then those special forces in Germany have at least reached 60% of the combat effectiveness of the special forces of the Inner Mongolia Military Region. Whether it was a Japanese special combat team or an Italian commando team, it was all influenced by the German special combat team.

It was the German 'Wolf's Den' special operations team that rescued Mussolini, and the top commander of the special operations team was none other than Captain Scottin. This Skozenu and Hitler can be regarded as fellow countrymen. He was originally Austrian, but he became a German citizen in 1938 after the German-Austrian merger. Unlike many Austrians, his personality is more like that of his ancestors, the Slavs, willful, fierce, stubborn, and rigorous. He graduated from the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Vienna and was already technically successful at the age of 30. Because of his admiration for the life of a pilot, he resolutely joined the Luftwaffe and received 5 months of flight training, but because he usually had a very bad relationship with the instructor, he was brushed down by the instructor after 5 months, saying that he was not suitable to be a pilot. Later, he was soon chosen to join the famous Adolf. Hitler's Panzer Division, with his knowledge and the energy to work hard, soon rose to prominence and was appointed midshipman. Soon he was transferred to the 255th SS Division. From 1940 to 1941, he participated in the attacks on the Balkans and Moscow, and achieved outstanding results, but it was still because of his unruly and willful character, and the rank was only promoted to lieutenant, which was far from his ambition. This made him a little depressed and his life extremely indulgent. By chance, his huge energy was ignited. He was finally given the position to put his talents to work, and it was a position that matched his adventurous nature.

Like Churchill at the beginning of the war, Hitler also ordered the formation of a Gomande-like 'commando force' on a whim to carry out special operations missions. The German High Command was apprehensive about the creation of such an unorthodox force, because there were already quite a few such 'strange' units that had been set up on the 'inspiration' of Hitler, and they feared that such troops might not obey the command because of their privileges. However, Hitler was stubborn and insisted on going his own way. The SS command began looking for an officer to build, train, and lead the German commando, and Scotsin was chosen to serve as commander of the special forces. (To be continued......)
