On April 9, the wedding of Han Yunhua and Li Yuhan was held on time at Guisui City Hall. Although General Binshan Yuan has promised in a public statement that the North China Front will not take any military action against the Inner Mongolia Military Region during Han Yunhua's wedding, which also includes the intelligence organs of the North China Front. But Han Yunhua and others still didn't dare to be careless, no one knew if this was a trick played by Japan, you must know that General Binshan Yuan just said that the North China Front Army would not destroy Han Yunhua's wedding, and it does not mean that all Japanese troops will abide by this non-binding statement.

If there is an accident at that time, the Japanese army only needs to put the blame on the Kwantung Army or the base camp, then the North China Front Army and General Binshan Yuan will not be considered to have broken their promise. This kind of word game Han Yunhua has played a lot in later generations, so how can he let Little Japan play it. Even if Bin Shan Yuan really wanted to suspend his troops during this time, Han Yunhua would definitely not let his guard down.

On April 9, there will be a soldier with loaded guns every ten meters in the streets and alleys of Guisui City, and the whole city has entered a moment of high alert, and even Han Yunqian, the sister of the commander of the military region, was not able to attend her brother's wedding, but led the guard battalion to be responsible for security during the wedding. In order to ensure that the wedding of her brother and sister Yuhan was not disturbed and destroyed, Han Yunqian drove out more than a dozen tanks and armored vehicles under the control of the guard battalion, and more than 900 elites of the guard battalion also rushed out to surround the perimeter of the entire wedding scene.

In order to ensure that the wedding was not disturbed, Qian Zhuangfei's intelligence department also went all out to find out all the hostile elements who tried to sabotage the wedding. After all, these few days were a sensitive period, and those who came to attend Han Yunhua's wedding were not only high-ranking officials and high-ranking officers of the Nationalist Government, but also leaders of various communist divisions and military regions, as well as representatives of a small number of ethnic groups in the northern part of the country, especially the Mongols. At this time, if something happens, no one will look good, so no accidents will be allowed.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, Han Yunhua, dressed in military uniform, brought the bride-to-be to attend a meeting to thank the representatives of various groups. At twelve o'clock, the wedding ceremony officially began. Under Han Yunhua's special advice, the ceremony of the wedding was simple and clean, and there was no pomp and circumstance as people imagined, only two people and two horses. Han Yunhua rode the fat black horse that the Mongolian representative gave him favorite, led a pure white high-headed war horse of the captured Japanese cavalry unit ridden by Li Yuhan, and under the protection of a team of special combat personnel, took Li Yuhan from the office in the main backyard to his dormitory.

The process was not slow, but it took more than an hour. At eight o'clock in the evening, Han Yunhua and his bride Li Yuhan attended the dinner arranged by the Inner Mongolia Military Region. The dinner was attended by celebrities from all over the country, including high-ranking officials of the Nationalist Government, high-ranking generals of the Communist Party, and representatives of ethnic minorities.

After the dinner, Han Yunhua did not stay for a long time, but quickly returned to his bachelor dormitory with his wife. Han Yunhua's dormitory can no longer be called a single dormitory, after all, Han Yunhua has officially married at this time. According to the customs of the northerners, once a man gets married, he can be called a family, which is the most important sign for northerners to judge a boy and a man.

After entering the house, Han Yunhua hugged Yuhan to the bed, and then said with some embarrassment: "Yuhan, I still have a very important meeting to open, wait for me"

Yuhan, who was also blushing, replied in an inaudible voice: "Well, I'll wait for you" In fact, Han Yunhua didn't want to be the bride on the wedding night, you must know that this is a big taboo in the north, thinking that the groom looks down on the bride. But Han Yunhua has no choice now, you must know that the chaos in Shandong has been nearly a month. Even it has been more than half a month since the Shandong Provincial Party Committee withdrew to southeastern Hebei, and it is already an imminent matter to go south to Shandong. So after getting married, Han Yunhua has no time to waste even a day, after all, the longer things drag on, the more difficult it will be. …,

Fortunately, the bride Li Yuhan knows what kind of person Han Yunhua is, and believes that Han Yunhua really likes her. So I was not a little dissatisfied with Han Yunhua's wedding night, but I was quite distressed. It has been nearly a year since she came to the Inner Mongolia Military Region, and Li Yuhan has a certain understanding of Han Yunhua's work through nearly 300 days of military life. Knowing that Han Yunhua, the commander of the military region, looks majestic on the outside, but how hard it actually is is not something outsiders can imagine. For almost a year, Han Yunhua hardly had any holidays, only endless work. He hardly had a night off before twelve o'clock in the night, and stayed up until two o'clock... That's the most normal thing.

Just as Han Yunhua told her, Han Yunhua, as a soldier, does not belong to her alone, but to thousands of Chinese. Only Han Yunhua, who came out of the smoke of war, was her husband who was completely alone, so Li Yuhan was very understanding of the meeting on the wedding night.

The small conference room of the Inner Mongolia Military Region was full of people, and as soon as the dinner ended, Zuo Quan, as the host of the wedding, beckoned the senior generals of the military region to send off all the guests instead of the protagonist Han Yunhua. Then all the ministers, as well as the commanders and political commissars of the military divisions, received an urgent notice and immediately went to the conference room of the military district for a meeting.

After everyone was seated, Han Yunhua got up and said, "Comrades, the main purpose of this meeting is to discuss the matter of going south to Shandong. Due to the serious deterioration of the situation in Shandong, the vast majority of the troops have been dispersed, and only less than 2,000 people are left to escort the Shandong Provincial Party Committee to southern Hebei, but we can't count on this force, with the cunning of the Japanese army, I don't think that force can escape the surveillance of the Japanese army. Even if the little devil doesn't wipe out the remnants now, he will prevent them from going back to make trouble. Therefore, even if we arrive in Shandong, we will not be able to contact that force for the time being, so it is all up to us to go south this time. ”

"Commander, have you figured out how many troops you need to bring with you this time to the south? What is the specific number? Zuo Quan asked. This is also the thing that these military and political officials in the conference room are most concerned about.

Han Yunhua said: "This southward operation is the top priority of the military region, and the Japanese army's monitoring of our military region is also very strict, plus the Japanese blockade line along the road is very tight, so I can only take a small part of the troops to the south this time, and they must go in batches." On the one hand, the military district has now spread out its stalls, and the chassis has increased by a third, which requires more troops to defend. At the same time, the Japanese army has gathered a large number of troops around our military region, so I can't send all the elite troops of the military region south, otherwise it will easily attract the attention of the Japanese army. On the other hand, most of the Japanese troops have not yet withdrawn, and in addition to the 12th Army, which was originally stationed in Shandong, there are still a number of divisions, regiments, brigades, and independent wing-sized units stranded in various parts of Shandong. Therefore, I am going to take only the Cheetah Special Operations Squadron and an infantry battalion of officers south to Shandong. In this way, the number of people was less than 1,000, and the southward movement in three groups would not attract the attention of the Japanese army, and the purpose of concealment was achieved. At the same time, all the remaining 1,000 people, except for the special operations squadron, are combat backbones, and their combat effectiveness is absolutely guaranteed. ”

Everyone was surprised when they heard that Han Yunhua only led 1,000 people south, especially a group of old cadres such as Li Dayong and Shen Yuquan who were the first to follow Han Yunhua. Shen Yuquan frowned and said, "Commander, it seems that the superior leaders have not restricted you from leading Du Shao's troops south, right?" Although many characters only bring less than 1,000 people to the south, although there is a hidden advantage, but how much role can this 1,000 people play in Shandong, Shandong is a key area ruled by the Japanese army, but it is not comparable to Chahar Suiyuan, where these birds do not. These thousand or so people won't make a splash in that chaotic place in Shandong, I suggest you bring all of your Guards Saber Special Operations Brigade, right? We still trust the combat effectiveness of the saber special operations brigade in many words, and the safety of the commander will not be a problem with them. As a result, the number of troops did not increase much, but the combat effectiveness increased exponentially. ”…,

"Right...... Right...... Yes, ......, Lao Shen is right. A force of less than a thousand people is not more than an infantry brigade of little devils? In addition, this time the journey to the south is long, and heavy weapons such as mountain artillery, field artillery, and infantry artillery cannot be carried, even if it is mortar, it is enough, and if the troops bring less, we are really worried about the safety of the commander. It was Li Dayong who spoke. From the commander of the second company of the first battalion of the new first regiment of the 386th Brigade of the 129th Division to the commander of the Baotou Military Division of the Inner Mongolia Military Region and the commander of the Eighth Brigade, Li Dayong's promotion speed can be said to be the first person under Han Yunhua of the Inner Mongolia Military Region. You must know that although the Eighth Brigade is only an infantry brigade on the surface, its strength is actually no worse than that of the 77th Independent Division, a Type B Division, and the nearly 15,000-strong Eighth Brigade is equivalent to a simple A Division of the Nationalist Government or a three-unit field division of the Japanese Army. Among all the officers present, it is definitely Shen Yuquan who knows Han Yunhua the most, and Li Dayong is the one who has the deepest relationship with Han Yunhua. So when he heard that Han Yunhua only led an infantry battalion and a unit equivalent to an infantry company to the south and put himself in the midst of hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops, the first person to disagree was Li Dayong.

"I know your concerns, and it's certainly not out of the question. But please believe me, comrades, everyone knows what kind of situation we were in when we first arrived: the remnants of more than 400 men were defeated, with an average of two people and one gun, and the whole regiment had less than 2,000 grenades, less than five bullets per rifle, and only two light machine guns. Moreover, there is a strong enemy in front and pursuers behind it, and the situation is not optimistic. But aren't we here now? At present, our army does not count the county brigades, district squads, and militia organizations in various villages, and the regular troops alone have one division of type A, one division of type B, one independent brigade, six regiments of infantry, two regiments of motorized rapid reaction units, and 17 security regiments. We now have not only our own cavalry regiments, artillery regiments, engineer regiments, but also our own armored units. All this has been completed in just one and a half years, and since I, Han Yunhua, can create a new Saibei, I can create a good Shandong. Han Yunhua said that the heroic dry cloud was impassioned, and all the officers present recalled that all the miracles created by Han Yunhua in the past two years also felt like a dream, thinking that they were as strong as the Japanese army and were also frequently deflated in the hands of Han Yunhua, and all the officers present subconsciously believed Han Yunhua's words and believed that he could continue to create his own glory.

However, out of concern for this great comrade, Zuo Quan couldn't help but say: "No matter how good your reasons are, I, the political commissar of the military region, still have the right to oppose your plan to send troops. But now you are no longer as simple as an officer, you must know that the Japanese army regards you as the biggest enemy, and the people at home are your national monument to the heroes of the anti-Japanese resistance. Every success you have can bring unparalleled confidence and the belief that the anti-Japanese resistance will win to the country and the nation. If it weren't for the fact that Shandong really needs a senior leader who is decisive in killing, has excellent command ability, and has excellent skills to clean up the mess, otherwise the Party Central Committee and the Eighth Route Army Headquarters will definitely not transfer you to the south, and in a sense, your existence is no less important than that of ten divisions. Therefore, I will not agree to your plan, and I think that the Party Central Committee and the Eighth Route Army Headquarters will not agree to your plan to send troops. ”

Zuo Quan knew that Han Yunhua was a maverick, and it was generally difficult to change what he decided, as long as he believed that it was right, then even if Chairman Mao of the Party Central Committee opposed it, it might not make him change his mind, so during the period of serving as the political commissar of the military region, Zuo Quan followed Shen Yuquan's work habits, and rarely opposed Han Yunhua's opinions in person, especially in such a large-scale meeting. But this time it was different, it was a matter of Han Yunhua's own life and death, so at the beginning, Zuo Quan brought out the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army and the Party Central Committee. But despite this, Zuo Political Commissar was still worried that Han Yunhua would not listen to his opinion. …,

Before Han Yunhua could speak, Qian Zhuangfei, the intelligence minister on the side, also spoke: "Commander, political commissar: don't quarrel, I don't know if you have studied it, there are two very important external reasons why Shandong will be in chaos in such a short period of time, in addition to the objective fact that the Japanese army is heavily oppressed, China's national defense forces are weak and have low combat effectiveness, and the intelligence of the Japanese army is extremely accurate, and even the location of the Shandong Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government can be clarified, and they can quickly assemble troops to encircle and kill. You must know that the seat of the Shandong Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government changes from time to time, and the troops below rarely know that the Provincial Government will be stationed in that village tomorrow. They are different from our military region, they have such big cities as Guisui, Baotou, and Jining as their backing, and in fact, the anti-Japanese troops in Shandong do not even have a decent county station. Comrade Guo Hongtao, secretary of the Shandong Provincial Party Committee, was also a talented person with extremely commanding ability, and he would not have imagined that the Japanese army would come to besiege and kill them, but the Shandong Provincial Party Committee still did not escape the siege of the Japanese army. Therefore, I suspect that the Shandong Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government may have been mixed with Japanese spies, so the commander should always pay attention to this kind of thing when going south this time. Second, the Japanese army's special combat teams also made great efforts in besieging and killing the Chinese troops in Shandong, and many brigade and regimental headquarters were destroyed by the Japanese army's special combat teams before the start of the war, causing the troops' command system to be disordered. So we are almost certain that the Japanese army has stationed a large number of special forces in the Shandong area, and I think it is inappropriate for the commander to go south this time with only one special operations squadron. These are all conclusions that I have come to based on the intuition of an old intelligence officer and some of the information I have gathered, and whether or not it is still to be verified, so I suggest that the commander bring more troops with him when he goes south, and at the same time reduce his contact with the Shandong Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government, and it is best not to contact them until he has the strength to protect himself. ”

Qian Zhuangfei's words shocked everyone, and after thinking about it, they felt that what Qian Zhuangfei said was very reasonable, and at this time, when they thought about Han Yunhua's plan to send troops, they felt even more inappropriate.

Han Yunhua thought about it, and also felt that what Qian Zhuangfei said was very reasonable, but leading a thousand people was the best number of troops he had obtained by carefully synthesizing all the information, and it would be difficult to carry out work after going to Shandong, and if there were more, it would be easy to attract the attention of the Japanese army. However, Han Yunhua saw that everyone was against it, so he had doubts about the plan he had just proposed to send troops. Han Yunhua believes that he can definitely create a new Shandong with strong soldiers, but if it takes more than two years, it will ruin Han Yunhua's big event, so the situation in Shandong must be stabilized as soon as possible, and the time cannot be delayed too long.

"Right? Aren't the special forces of the Saibei Military Command Academy about to graduate? Originally, I had planned to form a crack guard for the Party Central Committee, and the rest was to expand the saber formation, but now it seems that this plan is about to fail. That guard of the Party Central Committee must be formed, this is an order. However, the establishment of the saber should not be expanded, and I will draw another six or seven hundred people from the Saber Special Operations Brigade and from the graduates of the special forces of the Military Academy to reorganize a special operations brigade at the regimental level. The rest is the formation of the Party Central Guard Force and the supplementary Saber Special Combat Team. At the same time, according to the original plan, a part of the backbone of the battle and the middle and lower-ranking officers were mobilized to form a reinforced battalion to follow me south, comrades, it is not that I do not want to bring more troops, but there are too many blockade lines of the Japanese puppet army along the way, and after careful calculation, it is most appropriate for the troops to go south this time to be controlled below the previous people, and the maximum number of troops should not exceed 2,000. The troops were concentrated and headed south, and the target was too large and easily exposed. However, if the frequency of going south in batches is too high, it will be easy to be exposed, and the situation in Shandong is not optimistic, so we must go south as soon as possible, so this time not only do I not bring mountain artillery, field artillery, infantry artillery, but even heavy machine guns and mortars are not prepared to be carried. At the same time, Jiang Yunshan, commander of the 1st Assault Brigade of the 300th Division, Liu Wenhua, commander of the Artillery Brigade, and Dong Mengguo, commander of the Fire Support Regiment of the 77th Independent Division, went south with the army. ”

Han Yunhua readjusted his plan, he had to convince the left and right officers present, otherwise they would not let him go. (End of Volume II) ......,
