Chapter 385: Battle of North China (31)

When the battle of Kuancheng was in full swing, the battle to defend Daqingshan was also carried out at the most critical time, and more than 40,000 people of the Yue army surrounded the entire Daqing Mountain, compared with the troops of less than 4,000 people around Han Yunhua, the Yue army really achieved ten times the encirclement.

Ushijima was not satisfied with the progress of the troops attacking Daqingshan, especially the performance of the paratroopers. An elite paratrooper wing did not even take such a small place as Xinghe County under the surprise attack, and also lost most of its troops, and by the time the main force of the 20th Division arrived at Xinghe County, there were less than 1,000 paratroopers left. That is to say, in less than six hours, the paratrooper wing lost more than 1,500 people, plus the death of soldiers due to the mistake of the airborne landing site, an elite wing of more than 3,000 people is now less than a third left.

Compared with the huge losses, the results of the paratrooper units were very limited, and the losses of the two Chinese infantry regiments in the county town of Xinghe can be said to be negligible. At first, the people did not understand the situation and were pressed and beaten by the paratrooper wing, and when they figured out the situation, they immediately counterattacked with all their might, if it were not for the main force of the 2nd Division and the 10th Regiment to arrive quickly, it was possible that the paratrooper unit would have been completely annihilated.

Besides, the troops attacking Daqingshan had not advanced to the foot of Daqingshan Mountain after seven hours of fighting. According to the information left by the troops who attacked Daqingshan for the first time, Lieutenant General Ushijima knew that the focus of the Daqingshan fortifications was at the foot of Daqingshan and on Daqingshan, and as for the periphery of Daqingshan, it was nothing.

However, despite this, the 20th Division and the Yamashita Division were struggling, and there were as many as a dozen blocking lines of defense by the [***] team alone along the way, although the defenders of each line of defense line would not exceed one infantry company, but each defense line unit would have to pay several times or even dozens of times the casualties of the [***] team. And along the way, the special forces of the [***] team also gave Ushijima a taste of pain and happiness, and originally thought that this time with the help of the Yanagi special combat team and the Mashiko advance team, Han Yunhua's special combat team could be successfully suppressed. But what I didn't expect was that on the first day of the showdown, Han Yunhua's special combat team exerted its might, and wiped out the attack group of a special combat team of the Yanagi special combat team, although it only lost a dozen special combat personnel, but this is enough for Lieutenant General Ushijima to feel distressed, you must know that this time General Binshan Yuan handed over to him to command only two troops to carry out special tasks, not to mention the Mashiko advance team, it cannot be regarded as a real special force at all, although the tasks performed are almost no different from special forces. But if it is said that it is training, it is far worse, and to put it bluntly, the Mashiko Advance Team, which is considered to be strong in combat, is actually just an infantry squadron with relatively strong combat effectiveness.

If you want to say that it is a real special forces, you still have to say that the special forces trained by Yanagi Shengjun, who has just been promoted to lieutenant general, are called the Yanagi Special Combat Team, which is a brand-new special forces trained by German special forces training methods, in addition to German instructors, he also specially equipped this special forces with the latest American-style equipment, and even the submachine guns are all "Gad", which is much stronger than the weapons and equipment of Han Yunhua's department, and the training time of this special forces has exceeded a year. In addition, these special combat personnel are all selected from the veterans or the best among the cadets, and they have at least three years of military experience, so their training results are still very impressive, and they have been unanimously praised by German instructors.

However, such a special combat unit was defeated in the first battle with Han Yunhua's unit, and was defeated by Han Yunhua's special combat team piecemeal, killing out nine people, and then completely annihilating a combat group, and in less than half an hour of fighting, this special combat team, which was given high hopes by the top brass of the army, lost a total of 27 people, accounting for one-sixth of the total number of the entire special combat team.

Of course, the special combat team did not find nothing, and in the subsequent search process of the large force, in the area where the special forces were fighting, the Yue army dug up a total of 11 bodies of Chinese special combat personnel, although compared with the casualties of the 27 people of the special combat team, the casualties of the 11 members of the [***] team were already very small. However, considering the tragic situation of the first special combat team of the Yue army being wiped out and only three people fleeing back, there is no doubt that the strength of the special combat team of the Yue army has increased by more than a little bit.

I have just received news from the North China Front Army Headquarters that the Chinese Kuomintang has organized nine divisions to cooperate with the strength of about three divisions to launch a counterattack in the southeast of Jin, and has now captured Jincheng and Linfen, and the front of the troops is directed at Taiyuan. At the same time, the main force of the 300th Division, the most elite of the Inner Mongolia Military Region, on the front line of Saibei, has already gone north to rescue Xinghe County, and it is expected that it will be able to rush back to Xinghe County tomorrow morning. A regiment of the 77th Division, another main force of the Inner Mongolia Military Region, had already arrived in Zhangbei County three hours earlier, and had launched a fierce battle with the left-behind wing of the Shanxia Division, and the two sides had already entered a white-hot stage of fighting, and the two sides even engaged in artillery battles, so the North China Front Command ordered Niudao to capture Daqingshan within two days, and completely annihilate the defenders of Daqingshan and capture Han Yunhua, commander of the Inner Mongolia Military Region.

Ushijima is not a reckless person, he knows very well where he is now, he is now in an extremely dangerous state, although more than 40,000 people seems to be a lot, but he knows that if it drags on in Daqingshan for a long time, the consequences will be unimaginable. Although it is only known that there are enemy troops coming to reinforce in the east and south, it is certainly necessary in the west and north. In particular, the nest of the Inner Mongolia Military Region is in Guisui, and according to the information newly collected by the special high-tech department, Jining, an inconspicuous small city, is the transportation hub of the entire Saibei region, and it is also the logistics base of all Han Yunhua's subordinates. Especially since even the political opponent Guomin Axe sent troops to support Han Yunhua, then the troops directly led by Han Yunhua would definitely destroy his troops at all costs and rescue Han Yunhua.

Therefore, Ushijima knew that he could not delay it any longer now, and that it would cost him his life if he delayed it any longer, so Ushijima urgently ordered the newly formed 39th Infantry Brigade to immediately move south, and block the integrated 300th Division on the spot at Xiajiaying, 15 kilometers north of Xinpingbao, and must hold out for more than three days, even if there is only one person left in the entire 39th Brigade, he must stick to his position. At the same time, it was ordered that there was no need for the 1st Infantry Wing of the Yamashita Division to block the reinforcements from the eastern Hebei side in Zhangbei County, and if a soldier crossed Zhangbei and rushed to Xinghe County, then all the officers of the 1st Infantry Wing should prepare to thank His Majesty the Emperor.

As for the paratrooper wing, which had been crippled, it was temporarily replenished into the 20th Division, together with the 20th Division, the division search team, and the cavalry wing to block possible reinforcements in the direction of Xinghe and Jining, while Ushijima himself personally commanded the remaining troops to storm Daqingshan.

Ushijima was now waiting, waiting for an opportunity, a chance to achieve the glory of the Twentieth Division and his own. Who is Han Yunhua, that is a killing god, whether it is the current Prime Minister Hiranuma Kiichiro or the actual controller of the military department, Prince Zairen of the Imperial Palace, all know that this general of the Chinese Eighth Route Army, since 1937, thirteen generals have been lost in the hands of this Han Yunhua, including five lieutenant generals alone. At the same time, many divisions were directly erased from the battle sequence of the Imperial Army, and countless wings were disabled, which was the number one in China.

But now the number one "war criminal", "demon king" and "sinner" of this branch has been surrounded by him and his elite 20th Division on this mountain at an altitude of more than 2,000 meters, and 40,000 people have ventured to besiege a Chinese general, which is the first time in the history of the entire empire, so he can't fail, and he knows the consequences of defeat, even if there is a backstage to support him, the result is the same.

Of course, the possibility of success is also great, as long as he succeeds in capturing this mountain, even if he only gets Han Yunhua's corpse, he will get an unprecedented reward. For Ushijima, the siege of Daqingshan is both an opportunity and a challenge, and risks and benefits coexist.

From the evening of the 29th to the present, Daqingshan has been surrounded by the army for a day and a night, although the guard regiment fought extremely bravely, but the number of the army is too much, like locusts, each line of defense will be broken in two hours at most, so far the guard regiment has lost more than 600 people, and the main force of the army is less than five kilometers away from the main defensive position of Daqingshan.

"Brother, the Yan'an Party Central Committee is in an emergency!" Han Yunqian walked in and said loudly.

Han Yunhua, who was leaning over the case, said without raising his head: "Read!" ”

Han Yunqian unfolded the letter and read aloud: "29 The Korean Ministry sent an urgent telegram, and I learned that all the troops of your department have won a lot of heroic victories against the enemy, and they are really a model for our Eighth Route Army. At present, Comrade Han Yunhua himself and more than 3,000 soldiers of the guard regiment are besieged in Daqingshan, and the situation is critical......... Central Military Commission, August 30, 1939"

"Got it," Han Yunhua said without raising his head as he continued to stare at the map on the table.

Han Yunqian was very dissatisfied with her brother's appearance, the army was about to complete the encirclement, but her brother was still in this unhurried appearance, Han Yunqian knew that her brother was a master of art and bold, but no matter how you said it, there were more than 40,000 devils, even if it was more than 40,000 pigs, it could not be killed in a day or two. Yesterday the county town sent a telegram saying that it had been attacked by the paratrooper units of the Yue army, so that the Syrian army would drop a wing down to Daqingshan, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Brother, the leaders of the central government are letting you break through, why don't you react at all?" Han Yunqian said dissatisfied.

Han Yunhua looked up at Yun Qian, and then smiled: "What should my brother do?" Is it inevitable that the breakthrough will be successful, you must know that there are more than 40,000 devils around us? ”

Han Yunqian glanced at Han Yunhua with disdain, and then pouted and said, "Don't talk nonsense, brother, I really don't dare to say that it will be successful if it is someone else, but you, I bet that as long as you are willing, you will appear in Xinghe County tomorrow." Don't think I don't know your intentions in staying on the Great Green Mountain, huh! ”

Han Yunhua looked at his sister with interest, and asked with a smile: "Oh, in this way, my little sister can still see her brother's intentions, so why do you want to stay here and be bombarded?" ”

"Brother, you stayed here just to use yourself as bait, of course your purpose is not to eat bombs, but to the 40,000 little devils at the bottom of the mountain. If you slip away, it won't take a day for those little devils to run away, and if our troops are in place by then, it will be impossible to annihilate them, so you stay, right? Yun Qian said quickly.

To be honest, Han Yunhua really didn't expect that his sister, who had only been in the army for two years, would still have such knowledge, just as his growth was greatly unexpected by the [***] leading leader, and Han Yunhua at this time also looked at his sister as if he had discovered a new continent.

"Hehehe, it's good, I didn't see that my little sister is also an extraordinary heroine, not bad, ahaha!!" Han Yunhua boasted without hesitation.

Han Yunqian did not forget her original intention because of her brother's fierce praise, and continued: "Brother, people are concerned about your safety, but you don't even have a serious attitude, look at me and my sister-in-law suing you, hum!" ”

Han Yunhua let out a long breath and said, "Little sister, you just analyzed a little, using yourself as bait is actually not the most important reason why my brother and I stay here. It's a reason, but it doesn't have to be me. Brother, I am now the commander of the Inner Mongolia Military Region, and I am the actual controller of the big chess game of the North China Battle, so you and I are inseparable from the success or failure of the North China Battle. Although it seems that we are at a disadvantage, the entire division headquarters of the 1st Field Division, together with all the troops in the eastern Hebei region, is also besieged in Qian'an by more than 80,000 troops, and now even your brother and I are surrounded by little devils, but if you think about it carefully, this is not an opportunity for our entire military region. As long as your brother and I don't die for a day, and Daqingshan doesn't break for a day, the troops of the Yue army will stay here for a day. More than 100,000 troops have been concentrated here, and the defenders of other places, especially those large and small cities in the areas occupied by the Japanese army, must be very empty. Now my brother's goal is not only the 40,000 people under the mountain, but the hills and ravines in my brother's heart are very high. Brother won't break through now, don't persuade you, fighting a good battle and protecting your brother is what you have to do now. Brother has hands and feet, as long as the brother wants to go, he can get away at any time, you must know that Li Dingguo, Huzi, Wei Peng, and Kong Yang were all taught by the brother, and the brother's apprentices are not afraid that the little devil will play the little devil around, how can the brother, who is a master, let the little devil ride on the head. ”

Han Yunqian knows her brother's temper, and she can't pull back eight horses, since her brother has made up her mind, she can't say anything, but she still has to mention what should be mentioned, so Han Yunqian said solemnly: "Brother, you have to think clearly yourself, your current identity is different from the past, once something happens, not only will the Party Central Committee lose face, but the enthusiasm of the entire nation will also be hit." At the same time, you are not only an honorable [***] member, the commander of the Inner Mongolia Military Region, the commander of the 300th Division and the instructor and division commander, but you are also the father of my sister-in-law's husband and niece, and my brother. Sister-in-law and Sihan are now waiting for you to go back, and your biological child is about to be born, so no matter what decision you make, please think more about us, brother, you must not have an accident, you promise me? ”

Xiao Mei said that Han Yunhua doesn't know, but now his responsibilities have far exceeded the identity of his husband, father, and brother, as a Chinese [***] person, what he is doing now is for the country and the nation, loyalty and filial piety can not be both, there are countless martyrs who have sacrificed their lives for the country and the nation, and there is no more than him Han Yunhua, since the country and the nation need him to sacrifice, as long as the price paid by the little devil is big enough, he Han Yunhua does not mind exchanging his head for five divisions of the army.

"Yun Qian, you have also grown up, my brother knows what you said, but don't worry, the bullets that can kill my brother have not been produced yet, don't worry, my brother will be fine, my brother promises you." Then the expression on Han Yunhua's face became very soothing and gentle, and he continued: "Yun Qian, promise brother, don't tell your sister-in-law that I am on Daqing Mountain before this battle is over, she is pregnant now and can't stand the fright. ”

"Brother, I can keep it a secret for you, sister-in-law, but you also have to be careful yourself, if the army breaks through the position under the mountain, you must lead the special combat team to break through first, okay?" Yun Qian said seriously.

"Good!"

"Then how should the Central Committee reply, this is a handwritten telegram from the Party Central Committee [***], if you want to reply, you should reply yourself!"

Han Yunhua thought for a while and said: "To tell you the truth, you can go back for me, just say that I am fully sure that I can break through on my own, but now the time to break through is not right, so be it." Now you go and withdraw all the troops on the periphery of Daqing Mountain, we just need to guard the fortifications in the mountain pass, let's go! ”

After Han Yunqian withdrew, Han Yunhua's face changed back to the original state of Gujing. Now that all the units of the military region are in place, they are waiting for the army to attack at the craziest time. And what Han Yunhua is paying attention to now is not the current battle situation, with some of the previous actions, the North China Front will be seriously injured even if it is not dead this time, and the outcome is already doomed, so Han Yunhua is not worried. What he is worried about is the changes in the political situation in Europe, and whether the great war, which is related to the fate of the world and the fate of China, will break out as scheduled. As his influence on this world gradually increased, Han Yunhua himself didn't know if the world at this time was the same time and space as his original time and space, although the people were still those people, but some things had completely changed, so he didn't know if Europe would break out in the war of annihilation as scheduled.
