Chapter 280: South to Shandong (2)

After the Sixth Plenary Session of the Sixth Central Committee of the Sixth National Congress of the Communist Party of China, [***] sent a telegram to Han Yunhua in the name of the Party Central Committee, in which [***] fully affirmed Han Yunhua's achievements and contributions to the party and the country, and made a promise to Han Yunhua that as long as Han Yunhua did not defect to the enemy or betray the party, the Party Central Committee could give Han Yunhua a certain right of combat self-determination, and he only needed to file with the Party Central Committee before the war. Out of the protection of Han Yunhua and Han Yunqian, the party Central Committee officially appointed Han Yunqian as the commander of the Central Special Guard Battalion, stationed in the Inner Mongolia Military Region to protect the military headquarters of the Inner Mongolia Military Region.

This time, Han Yunhua was transferred south to Shandong, and this was a decision made by the party Central Committee after careful consideration. There are too many things to prepare for the transfer of a high-ranking officer like Han Yunhua, first of all, we have to consider the vacancy after this senior officer leaves, and secondly, we must also consider that the army is likely to launch a new round of offensive against the Inner Mongolia Military Region after knowing that Han Yunhua is gone. But Han Yunhua's fame is too great, and Yue Jun's hatred for him will definitely not be much worse than Chiang Kai-shek, and even more hated than Chiang Kai-shek. Therefore, the Party Central Committee could not ignore Han Yunhua's safety, and finally decided not to announce the news of Han Yunhua's southern departure, of course, this was also to confuse the needs of the army.

At two o'clock in the afternoon on April 10, Shen Yuquan asked people to report to Han Yunhua, saying that the troops he needed had been assembled and could leave at any time. Han Yunhua was overjoyed when he heard this, and in the morning, accompanied by Zuo Quan and others, he met with some celebrities and politicians who had come to congratulate him. Originally, he planned to go to see it in person in the afternoon, and by the way, he went to the arsenal of the military region to pick out some handy weapons and equipment, after all, for a long time after going south this time, the troops could only be replenished by capture.

Now that the arsenal of the Inner Mongolia Military Region has initially begun to operate, the first batch of guns has rolled off the assembly line just two days ago, and the Baotou Arsenal urgently sent five Mauser K98 and 20 38 Dagai to the headquarters of the military region. After Han Yunhua personally inspected, he found that due to the quality of the steel produced and the lack of guidance from professional gunsmiths, and the fact that the production line of this batch of weapons was very old, although the German mechanics had done their best to repair these things that were close to scrapping, the quality of the 38 covers produced by the Baotou Arsenal was still not as good as the 38 rifles in the hands of the Yue Jun.

However, Han Yunhua is still very happy, after his experiments, although the Mauser K98 and 38 big covers produced by Baotou Arsenal are not as good as genuine licensed goods, they are definitely not parallel goods, and they are not comparable to the official production of national axes. Although the surname in all aspects can be quite good, after all, no matter how good the cottage is, it is still a copycat, and it is always not as good as the genuine one. Classics are always imitated, but they can never be surpassed. Although the 38 covers produced by Baotou Arsenal are considered inferior products in the genuine licensed goods, they are already an unsurpassable existence compared to copycat guns.

Although the output of the Baotou Arsenal is still very low, only 30 38 Dagai and 12 Mauser K98s can be produced per day, but this is only the output during the trial operation. When all the weapons production lines are installed, there will be a qualitative change in output. According to Han Yunhua's requirements, the Baotou Arsenal adopted an assembly line production model, and had to produce all the equipment of a reinforced company and a large amount of ammunition, including light and heavy machine guns, every day.

According to the estimation of the German mechanics, after the Baotou Arsenal was fully established, as long as the raw materials and labor were sufficient, there would be no problems with the equipment of a company. Even a battalion is not a problem, and with the size and production potential of the Baotou Arsenal, it is completely possible to imitate such individual heavy weapons as mortars and grenadiers.

But Han Yunhua also knows that this is just the wishful thinking of German mechanics, not to mention the problem of labor, Han Yunhua believes that for [***], it is possible to lack anything, but there will definitely be no shortage of people. As long as a few propaganda teams are sent to the countryside to carry out propaganda, there will be no problem with the 8,000,000 young and strong laborers. In addition, Han Yunhua has rescued a large number of miner prisoners in previous operations, as long as Han Yunhua is willing, there will be thousands of responders. However, the production of weapons and equipment is not just about people, otherwise there are more than 400 million people in China, but there are less than 100 million in the island country, and according to the logic that a large number of people is enough, scare him to death that the little devil dares to bully the Chinese like this.

The production of weapons and equipment is a complex job, first of all, it requires high-tech industrial products, such as steel and gunpowder, and bullets and artillery shells also need metals such as copper and iron. For China now, these things are scarce items. Not only is it needed on the [***] side, but even the national political axe side continues to use these things, in the most popular words, even if Han Yunhua has money, he may not be able to buy these raw materials.

The main culprit of all this was that the Nationalist Axe headed by Chiang Kai-shek believed too much in bureaucratic comprador capital, believing that as long as there was money, nothing could be bought, and that the investment in their own production would be too slow and not cost-effective. The direct result of this is that during the incompetent Qing Dynasty, China was able to produce warships and cannons and had its own heavy industry. But now even the most basic guns have become a problem. At present, only the Hanyang Arsenal is the Hanyang Arsenal, which is still in normal production, and the rest are basically either closed down or directly closed. The Baotou Arsenal also has its own supporting iron and steel mills and copper factories and other enterprises, but the productivity of these supporting enterprises is really limited, and it is impossible to meet one-tenth of the needs of the arsenal. All the raw materials that Baotou Arsenal needs now are, except for some of them for their own production, and most of them are the remnants of abandoned train tracks and tank armored vehicles left in Baotou by the army. But after all, these things are limited, and they can't last long. It is almost impossible for the Baotou Arsenal to produce enough raw materials unless the Inner Mongolia Military Region can build its own large steel plant. However, the establishment of a large-scale steel plant involves a lot of problems that Han Yunhua cannot solve now, not to mention technology and equipment, this is a hard injury, but even if these problems are solved, the energy alone is enough for Han Yunhua to drink a pot. There is no coal near Baotou, and there are two places in the nearest coal base, one is the Datong coal base occupied by the Yue army, and the other is the Dongsheng area of Ordos occupied by Fu Zuoyi, the Jin Sui army. But the national political axe is now very frightened of Han Yunhua's department or the entire [***], and it is simply delusional to ask them to help [***] build a large arsenal.

However, in any case, the Inner Mongolia Military Region will be self-sufficient in weapons and ammunition in a very short period of time, and the troops will be able to attack much more freely at that time. Not for a period of time, as soon as he saw that the inventory in the arsenal had bottomed out, Han Yunhua had to plan a new big war to replenish the combat consumption during this time. As the old saying goes: "Kill 10,000 enemies and lose 8,000 yourself", so that the consumption rate of troops in the Inner Mongolia Military Region has also become very fast.

However, this also has an advantage, that is, Han Yunhua's desperate life-and-death battle made him rise to a complete war maniac in the eyes of senior officers of the Yue Army. In the eyes of General Shouichi Terauchi and General Binshan Yuan, Han Yunhua is an extremely cold-blooded iron-blooded maniac, and he doesn't care how much the soldiers lose. Almost before the end of the battle, he launched a new campaign to prevent himself and the enemy's troops from having any time to breathe. In the words of Major General Yoshito Takagi, the commander of the 39th Infantry Brigade of the Chinese Army, "Shina Han is a real soldier, but also a war madman and an iron-blooded maniac." In his eyes, soldiers are his tools to earn meritorious deeds, and he doesn't care how many deaths or injuries he has......"

Therefore, unless necessary, these high-ranking generals of the Yue army are unwilling to fight to the death with Han Yunhua's subordinates. In their opinion, it is not cost-effective. In fact, Han Yunhua is also a person with a very emotional surname, and he thinks that he does not have the courage to look down on life and death like Commander-in-Chief Zhu and senior officers such as Xue Yue and Xue Boling. But the necessities of war forced him to harden his heart, and in order to resist him, he could not care about his own life and death. A person who doesn't even care about his own life and death will care about the life and death of others?

The answer given by Han Yunhua is "care", he cares very much about the life and death of his subordinates, even if it is the life of a soldier, as long as it is not necessary, he will not sacrifice in vain. Even if it is a wounded person, as long as there is hope of life, he will never give up, even if he pays two lives for it. Although it is a fool's act in proportion, it is indeed a respect for life. This is also one of the reasons why the casualties of Han Yunhua's department are so high, but there is an endless stream of soldiers who are willing to participate in Han Yunhua's department. However, on the contrary, as long as the war requires sacrifice, then Han Yunhua will not be afraid of life and death. He would not hesitate to fill in the casualties of a platoon, a company, a battalion, a regiment, or even a brigade or division. This is a soldier, this is an iron-blooded officer.

In the past, there was no way to do it, it was impossible to fight devils without weapons and equipment, and it was even more nonsense to have weapons and equipment without ammunition. Since it cannot produce by itself, relying on seizure has become the only way out for the Inner Mongolia Military Region. But now it's different, after the military district can be self-sufficient in weapons and ammunition. The Inner Mongolia Military Region can reduce many unnecessary casualties, and Han Yunhua will not have so much guilt and helplessness in his heart.

After going south to Shandong, it is separated from the Inner Mongolia Military Region by the entire Hebei and Beijing-Tianjin regions, and it is almost impossible to obtain the support of the Inner Mongolia Military Region. Even if there is, there will not be many, after all, the little devil is not a vegetarian, and after fighting for such a long time, the two sides already have a thorough understanding of the opponent. Once in a while, it's okay, but after a long time, the special high-tech department of the army will definitely be able to follow the clues, and when the time comes, Han Yunhua, who is deep behind the enemy, will be even more passive. Therefore, Han Yunhua decided to bring more useful weapons and equipment at a time, like those "flashy" and seriously consumed weapons, which were all excluded by Han Yunhua and did not bring any of them.

Han Yunhua said to Yuhan, then kissed his daughter's face and walked towards the training ground of the military region. The training ground of the Inner Mongolia Military Region was not far from Han Yunhua's dormitory, and it would take at most 15 minutes to get there on horseback.

At this time, the entire training ground was quiet, and the vast majority of the fighters received a notice in the morning that no matter how important the task in hand, it would be handed over to others to complete, and the soldiers who received the order must arrive at the training ground of the military region on time at half past one this afternoon, and must hand over all the weapons, equipment, guns, and ammunition in their hands to the superior leaders.

Many people don't know what happened, but soldiers are called soldiers because they know what to do once they are ordered to do it without asking why. Although it looked unusual this time, seeing that the people who received the notice were all famous combat backbones and elite fighters of each company, the big guys were not too worried.

However, many attentive soldiers were secretly happy in their hearts, and the commander must have given them some important task when he gathered them. Some of the veteran soldiers even thought of Han Yunhua's first gathering of combat backbones, and that time it seemed that it was also in this situation that the commander gathered all the combat backbones of the whole regiment and veteran soldiers with combat experience. And those who have been assembled are the first batch of members of the Saber Special Operations Brigade that is now in the military region, and it is certainly a good thing that the commander is now gathering the backbone of the battle for the second time.

The vast majority of people in the military district knew the temper of the commander and knew that he hated the fighters making a lot of noise when they were assembled, so there were very few people talking at the training ground at this time. Shen Yuquan is the same, he rarely speaks on the training ground. After the meeting broke up last night, he began to look for people according to Han Yunhua's request, and asked the communications team of the military region to notify them one by one. Seeing these nearly two thousand sturdy warriors, Shen Yuquan's heart suddenly became arrogant. With this batch of elites, Shen Yuquan believes that even if Han Yunhua can't reverse the chaos in Shandong, he also believes that Han Yunhua's safety will definitely not have any accidents.

Just as Shen Yuquan was sorting out the troops, Han Yunhua rode into the training ground on horseback. After dismounting, Han Yunhua saluted Shen Yuquan and said, "Old Shen has worked hard for you, have you all assembled?" ”

"Almost, all the 1,048 special combat personnel have arrived, and the 1,146 backbone fighters have also been assembled, Dong Mengguo, the commander of the fire support regiment of the 77th Division, is still outside the front line, and the rest are here." Shen Yuquan replied.

Han Yunhua looked at the troops standing in two phalanxes, and said loudly: "Now listen to my orders, those who are the only son in the family, those who are married and have children, and those who have sisters but no brothers in the family, will be listed for me." ”

With Han Yunhua's order, more than 600 people came out of the two phalanxes one after another, including more than 460 people from the special combat team and more than 250 people from the soldier phalanx.

Seeing that there were no more soldiers out of the ranks, Han Yunhua continued: "The comrades who came out of the ranks can go back, return to the original troops and continue fighting, and your weapons and equipment can be collected from your leaders. Well, the comrades who came out of the queue immediately withdrew from the training ground, and the time limit was three minutes. ”

As soon as Han Yunhua's words were finished, Shen Yuquan on the side immediately shouted to the soldiers who came out of the ranks: "Take a break, stand upright, and look to the right!" Turn left and run! ”

Under the leadership of Shen Yuquan, the fighters who did not meet Han Yunhua's standards quickly ran out of the training ground. Seeing the remaining more than 1,400 people, Han Yunhua continued: "Wei Peng, Jiang Yunshan will immediately form a team. Wei Peng sorted out the special combat team, and Jiang Yunshan sorted out the field troops. ”

Three minutes later, the troops were put in order. There are still 556 people left in the special combat team and 862 in the field unit.

Because of the urgency of time, Han Yunhua is not hypocritical. I saw Han Yunhua say loudly: "According to the order of the superiors, our military region will set up a new rapid reaction force, and the number of this unit is called the Yi [***] regiment, and it is an honor that you will become the first batch of soldiers in the Yi [***] regiment." The Yi [***] regiment has two infantry battalions and a reading detachment. The commander of the first battalion, Jiang Yunshan, the battalion commander Dong Mengguo, and Wei Peng, the reading detachment. Now you should immediately reorganize the troops, and the special combat team will be organized into a combat team of 13 people, four combat groups and one combat squad, three combat squads into a squadron, and the rest into a guard squad. The field troops were reorganized according to the establishment of 38 men per platoon, one company for four platoons, and one battalion for three companies. Wei Peng, Jiang Yunshan, I will only give you ten minutes, and I will tell me the results of the reorganization in ten minutes. ”

"Yes"

The number of special combat teams is small, and the Cheetah special combat team is still a fully organized squadron, so it is only necessary to fill the vacant positions of the sacrificed soldiers, so Wei Peng only took six minutes to reorganize the troops.

"Report to the commander Yi [***] that the reorganization of the Reading Power Detachment of the Lili Regiment has been completed, and the Reading Power Detachment now has jurisdiction over three Reading Power Squadrons, twelve Reading Power Squads and one guard squad, please instruct?" Wei Penghong's loud voice sounded on the training ground.

"Very good, Wei Peng, now I officially appoint you as the head of the Reading Force Detachment and political commissar. You immediately appoint all the officers of the three squadrons and twelve squads under your command and report them to the military region for approval. The remaining guard squad was transferred to the direct command of the regimental headquarters of the Reading Force, and ten minutes later, you quickly rushed to the arsenal of the military region with the Reading Detachment, where the political commissar and Minister Yang Ruihua were waiting for you. They will tell you how to change clothes, and immediately take a car to the front line in Mongolia after changing clothes, and as for the specific tasks, I will inform you separately when you arrive at the front line, hurry up and carry out the order! ”

"Yes!"

Wei Peng hurried away with his troops, without any hesitation, and the order was carried out very simply, without dragging mud and water. After Wei Peng left, Jiang Yunshan stepped forward to report the results of the reorganization, and Jiang Yunshan said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Report to the commander, the first and second battalions of the Yi [***] regiment have been reorganized. The first battalion was full, but the second battalion still had two platoons to vacancy. Please instruct? ”
