On February 28, 1942, the Asahi Shimbun, Japan's largest media outlet, published a huge news item in the form of a front-page headline titled "A Small Communist Party, a Big Han Yunhua". In this news, for the first time, the Japanese mainstream media unabashedly admitted a major defeat in the battle to intercept Han Yunhua. The evaluation of the Japanese high-level in this battle is very pertinent, that is, the responsibility for this battle cannot be borne by Okamura Ninji, and of course it cannot be borne by other front-line commanders. The defeat in this battle was entirely due to the fact that Han Yunhua, the devilish general of the Communist Party of China, was too cunning, and this person was not a commander at all, but a cunning fox. Of course, in the eyes of many people, this is a high-level Japanese high-level exoneration of Okamura Ninji and the entire China sending troops, but they also think that this can better illustrate the strength of Han Yunhua's department from the side.

It was from this news that Han Yunhua figured out that Shangguan Qingyun's air force had not only severely damaged a detachment of the Japanese Combined Fleet, causing three 6,500-ton cruisers and one 3,800-ton destroyer to sink to the bottom of the sea, but also three large supply ships running aground on the beach, and dozens of merchant ships of various types were affected. The most serious thing is that the coastal defense forces of Qingdao Port suffered heavy losses in this bombardment, and the port facilities of Qingdao Port, which were not very perfect, were once again completely destroyed, and the Japanese army may have to make a lot of effort to put them into use again.

In addition, the Japanese air force also suffered heavy losses in this battle, and 149 planes of various types were shot down, of which 32 were shot down by Han Yunhua's guard unit and 117 fighters were shot down by the air force of the Inner Mongolia Military Region. If they had lost so many planes in a battle with the Nationalist Government, they would have been able to bear it. However, such heavy losses in such a battle, which may not be considered a battle, were never imagined by Okamura Ninji and the Japanese military leadership, and it was precisely because of this that the Japanese authorities had to change their tactics against Han Yunhua's troops again.

Compared with the losses of the Air Force and Navy, a mere paratrooper brigade and a special operations unit that were not taken seriously were not very noticeable. But on the whole, the Japanese army's interception and killing of Han Yunhua this time can be described as lifting a stone and hitting one's own feet, a typical loss of wife and soldiers, such a heavy loss, even if it is a real large-scale battle full of gold, it will not necessarily pay such a heavy price.

After this news was published, the whole of Japan was in an uproar, the Great Japanese Empire was invincible, the Imperial Army was the absolute hegemon in Southeast Asia, in East Asia, and even in the entire Pacific region, and not long ago the invincible Imperial Army had beaten the Chinese government army in Burma to the point that its nose was bruised and swollen, and several regular infantry divisions were beaten and discarded from their armor. Why was he suddenly beaten like this by a little-known general, his uncle could bear it, and his aunt couldn't bear it, and suddenly the roar of the crusade against Han Yunhua in Japan was one by one.

Speaking of which, I have to explain that although Han Yunhua is now famous in China, he is a national hero of a generation of anti-Japanese generals, and the entire Japanese military department and high-level people highly value him. However, this is only limited to the Japanese military circles, and Han Yunhua's name in Japan is actually not much louder than others, and it is not even as famous as a few generals of the Nationalist Government.

It is not that the Japanese are arrogant and look down on Han Yunhua, but because the political atmosphere in Japan is like this, under the absolute control of militarism, Japan has very strict control over public opinion, and any bad news must be verified before it can be released to the outside world, and the most direct result is that the whole country is in tune, and the vast majority of news media and even government officials are all preaching how powerful the Japanese Empire is, how powerful the Imperial Japanese Army is, and how invincible it is. As a result, the people in Japan do not know much about the actual situation on the battlefield. Taking the Sea of Midway as an example, after the end of the war, in order to cover up the defeat, the Japanese authorities went so far as to openly fabricate lies on the radio, saying that the Japanese Navy had achieved an unprecedented victory at Midway, so that when the Combined Fleet returned from a disastrous defeat, the people of Tokyo were still reveling and celebrating the great victory of the Navy. …,

Perhaps this is exactly what the Japanese top brass wanted to see, and at a time when the people of the whole country were shouting against Han Yunhua and the hateful army he led, the Japanese government seized the opportunity to announce an order on the third national mobilization order, which covered a wide range far beyond the scope of the previous two war mobilization orders. The latest regulations of the Japanese Government stipulate that all men and women over the age of 15 must undergo military training, and all men over the age of 18 and under the age of 45 must be conscripted into the army, and no one must escape military service for any reason. In addition, in view of the extremely difficult period of the war in the Empire, from March 1, 1942, all citizens of the Empire proper-territory were rationed

The Third National War Mobilization Order has a total of 15 articles, covering all aspects of Japan's political, economic, cultural, and national life, and it can be summed up that Japan must win this war, which is still very promising in their view, if they want to concentrate all their national strength.

It has to be said that the Japanese government has indeed established a relatively glorious image in the hearts of the Japanese people in the past half century, so the Japanese government's war mobilization order, like the previous two war mobilization orders, has won the support of the Japanese people, and thousands of conscripts have been conscripted, and many people have even enthusiastically donated part or all of their family property as military expenses for the war for the survival of the empire. Perhaps in the eyes of many Japanese, what the government is doing now is a replica of the Sino-Japanese War of 1904, when the government of China, like the decaying feudal dynasty, should and must submit to the Japanese Empire, and also have to pay huge war reparations, and even cede a certain amount of land as the spoils of the empire, such as the spoils of Taiwan in 1905.

The news of the Asahi Shimbun was quickly reprinted and distributed by major newspapers in China, and soon most of China was reciting Han Yunhua, the miraculous general, and the name Han Yunhua once again set off huge waves in the land of China.

Under the pressure of domestic public opinion, the Nationalist Government once again commended the Inner Mongolia Military Region and Han Yunhua, but in Han Yunhua's own opinion, this is not as real as 10,000 oceans.

Let's talk about Han Yunhua himself, although the Inner Mongolia Military Region once again achieved a huge military victory, but it also paid a huge price, not to mention that the air defense battalion of the guard regiment was almost completely wiped out, and the transport convoy was not one out of ten, and even Han Yunhua's own extremely precious air force also suffered great losses, and the originally small number of fighters was injured this time, with only 26 of the 44 fighters left, and 18 were lost; 41 bombers remained 36 and 5 were lost, making a total of 23 fighters shot down in this battle.

Han Yunhua was more concerned about the death of the pilot than the loss of the fighters, and only 9 of the 23 fighters survived the parachute jump, and all the rest died. Despite the difficulty of replenishing aircraft, in Han Yunhua's opinion, the value of a pilot with combat experience far exceeds that of a fighter.

Distressed is distressed, and what should be done is still done. After reporting the details of the battle and the list of losses to the central authorities, Han Yunhua continued to rush to the northeast under the protection of a cavalry regiment of the Northeast Army Division.

On March 4th, after a long journey of 12 days, Han Yunhua and his entourage finally arrived at the destination of the trip, Ulanhot, originally Han Yunhua was preparing to go deep into Baicheng, where the military headquarters of the Northeast Advance Army was located, but Lu Zhengcao immediately told Han Yunhua that he would take the main leaders of the Anti-Japanese Federation and Major General Ivanov to Ulanhot to join him, Han Yunhua knew that Lu Zhengcao was really worried about his safety, after all, Baicheng had gone deep into the lair of the Kwantung Army. If Han Yunhua hadn't cared about it before, but after this tragic anti-interception battle, Han Yunhua had a new understanding of the madness of the Japanese army. Since Okamura Ninji dared to take 2 or 3 hundred planes, a paratrooper brigade and a special combat team in exchange for Han Yunhua's head, then it was not possible for the Kwantung Army not to dare to do this, so the two sides finally agreed to meet in Ulanhot. …,

When Han Yunhua and the others arrived in Ulanhot, Lu Zhengcao and the others had already arrived for a whole day, and they were happiest to see Han Yunhua than Lu Zhengcao and Ivanov.

The welcome ceremony was very brief, and the only ten minutes of greetings also allowed Han Yunhua to once again see the directness and cheerfulness of the Soviet comrades. Perhaps Comrade Stalin's order to Ivanov was too harsh, so this one-meter-tall man burst into tears of excitement at the first sight of Han Yunhua, and just said a few words before proposing to formally hold talks with him.

Originally, Han Yunhua wanted to dry the big nose of the Soviet Union again, but thinking that the Battle of Midway had ended, then the battle related to the fate of the Soviet Union and Germany was about to come to an end, and there was no need to sell it at a price, and the performance of the Soviet special combat team should also be recognized by the Soviet high-level, and it seemed that it was time for comprehensive cooperation.

Han Yunhua readily agreed to Ivanov's request, and the two sides held secret talks in a conference room provided by Lu Zhengcao, which was not too spacious, and the only people in this meeting were Han Yunhua and Ivanov, and no one else participated, and there was no record of the content of the talks. As for what the two people said in this meeting, or what agreement was reached, no one else knows, and later generations have also discussed it, but in the end there is no conclusion. However, almost everyone has a consensus, that is, after that meeting, the strategic center of gravity of the Inner Mongolia Military Region has completely shifted northward, except for the strong military pressure on the Shandong region, all other forces have been transferred to the northeast region, and the battle between Han Yunhua's headquarters and the Kwantung Army has become more and more obvious and expanded.

At the same time, the scale of the Soviet Union's funding for the Communist Party has also increased, whether it is weapons and equipment, technical support, and even human resources, it has reached an unbelievable level.

Han Yunhua did not report the results of the talks with Ivanov to the Military Region Committee, but directly reported to the Central Committee, and after deliberation by the Central Military Commission, it was decided that in view of Comrade Han Yunhua's outstanding performance in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in 1941, Comrade Han Yunhua was hereby appointed as a member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee and commander of the Inner Mongolia Military Region. Comrade Han Yunhua no longer served as the secretary of the Northern Bureau, and the Northern Bureau was merged into the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army to establish the Northeast Bureau, with Han Yunhua as the secretary.

On March 5, Ivanov, who received a satisfactory answer, returned to Boli under the protection of the guards, while Han Yunhua remained in Ulanhot.

With the vigorous support of the Inner Mongolia Military Region, the Anti-Japanese Federation has not only withstood the frenzied offensive of the Kwantung Army, but has also made great progress, and the Third Route Army, which was already on the verge of collapse, is now not only fully manned, but even has undergone certain changes, and the relationship between the Anti-Japanese Federation and the troops of the Inner Mongolia Military Region is also extremely close, and the cooperation between the two sides is very harmonious.

At this time, Ulanhot was not a big city even in the later generations, and Ulanhot at this time was even smaller and pitiful, not even a slightly larger county in Guannei, and there was not a decent house in the whole city, and there was not even a suitable place for a meeting, which really made Han Yunhua speechless.

However, after all, this is close to the pastoral area, and since there is no decent house, with the help of Mongolian comrades, Lu Zhengcao set up a huge yurt in a very short time.

To tell the truth, it was not only the first time for Han Yunhua to hold a meeting in the yurt, but even the comrades of the Anti-Japanese Federation who often dealt with the Mongolian ethnic group and the cadres of the Northeast Advance Army were also the first time, and everyone felt that it was very fresh.

Han Yunhua looked at Lu Zhengcao and the others with a smile, and said: "How do you feel, milk tea cheese, I'm afraid it's the first time for comrades to participate in such a meeting, hehehe, like you, it's the first time I've participated, this feels really different"...,

"Commander Han, what's different, tell us about it. Our Anti-Japanese Federation usually meets in a secret camp, where the conditions are poor, and there is neither milk tea nor cheese, but it is better to be safe. It was Zhou Baozhong, commander-in-chief of the Second Route Army of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, who spoke.

The information about the main leaders of the Anti-Japanese Federation was collected by Qian Zhuangfei and sent to Han Yunhua before Han Yunhua was ready to go north, and Han Yunhua, a famous general like Zhou Baozhong, had actually heard of it, but he had never had the opportunity to meet, after listening to Zhou Baozhong's words, Han Yunhua smiled: "In fact, the biggest difference is that we dare to hold meetings openly and openly under the noses of the Japanese. What does it mean that we are now raising our own flag on our own land and meeting openly and without any constraints? This shows that our strength has increased, that the good days of the Japanese have come to an end, comrades, am I right? ”

Han Yunhua's words were very infectious and passionate, and after Han Yunhua's words fell, many people shouted: "That's right, it's good", "That's it, it makes sense"

After everyone was quiet, Han Yunhua continued: "Comrades, this time I invite you not only to say good things to you, but also to tell you about the decision of the Central Committee of China on the withdrawal of provinces and regions in Northeast China. The Central Military Commission decided by resolution that the South Manchurian Provincial Party Committee and the North Manchurian Provisional Provincial Party Committee would be abolished with immediate effect, and all the armed forces of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army would be merged with the Northeast Advance Army to form the Northeast People's Liberation Army, which would be placed under the leadership of the Inner Mongolia Military Region. I think you have been informed of this order before you came here, and if you have any questions, you can ask me now."

"Commander Han, although it is the same to fight devils wherever and under the leadership of whom, I still want to ask how our Northeast Anti-Japanese Alliance and the Advance Army merged, whether they merged or we merged into them, and what level of establishment the PLA after the merger is, I still hope that Commander Han can tell us about these things."

Han Yunhua recognized that the person who spoke was Li Zhaolin, another veteran of the Anti-Japanese Federation, Han Yunhua still knew something about the life of this legendary general, and knew that the general was not a person who was keen on fame and fortune, so he replied with a straight face: "There is no such thing as who merges with whom, but two troops to form a new force, the name of this force is the Northeast People's Liberation Army, as the name suggests, our appearance is to liberate the people of Northeast China." As for what kind of establishment the PLA is, it is now tentatively set at the level of deputy military regions, that is, at the level of military subdivisions. Perhaps it will not be long before all the six major military subdivisions of our Inner Mongolia Military Region will be reorganized into the establishment of the People's Liberation Army, and perhaps everyone will have a common name at that time. ”

"What's the name?"

"The Chinese People's Liberation Army," Han Yunhua said categorically.

"In fact, there is no doubt that our people are firmly supportive of the decision of the central government, after all, the fact that we are here is the best proof of this. But what we want to know most now is whether the commander can treat everyone equally, more than 50,000 brothers of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation have spilled their blood in the mountains and forests, and now the little devils have not yet been beaten, and the desire to recover the Northeast has not yet been completed.

Han Yunhua said solemnly: "Please rest assured, I, Han Yunhua, in the name of a Communist Party member, assure you that all the fighters of the Anti-Japanese Federation after the merger will be treated fairly and justly, and the guns, ammunition and all combat resources will not be any different from the Inner Mongolia Military Region and the current Northeast Advance Army, but will be supplemented on a priority basis." All the political rights of the fighters and cadres will be guaranteed, and there will be no restrictions on the promotion and candidacy of the cadres. ”

"That dare is good, hehe, with Commander Han's words, I, Li Zhaolin, will also be relieved, as long as Commander Han Yunhua really treats our comrades of the Anti-Japanese Federation and the old troops of the Inner Mongolia Military Region equally, we will resolutely support the decision of the Central Committee." Li Zhaolin said resolutely. (To be continued.)
