Han Yunhua's troops acted extremely quickly, and they didn't give the army time to react at all. What Han Yunhua wants is to be lightning fast, and what he wants is to beat the little devil to death and beat him to death.

On July 28, the 1st Brigade uprooted all the devil strongholds in Daimyo County except for the county seat, and at the same time routed the reinforcements of an infantry brigade of the Daimyo County in the Sungandian stronghold, and the devils in Daimyo County became a turtle in the urn. On the same day, the county seat of Guangping County was breached by the Second Brigade, and more than 500 devils from an infantry squadron, two infantry squads, and a machine gun squad were all killed.

On 29 July, the Third Brigade fought an ambush at Shuangmiao west of Wei County, surrounded and sent reinforcements to eliminate the main force of the Wei County Army, and that night they knocked down the county seat of Wei County, eliminating more than 800 puppet troops, and at the same time killing 23 officers under Tian Shun Dazuo, commander of the South Hebei Garrison Wing of the Yue Army, including two Dazuo, three Zhongzuo, five Shaozuo, and 13 Wei-level officers. A large amount of arms hoarded in Wei County was seized, including 300 rounds of poison gas bombs newly developed by the army.

At 10 o'clock in the morning of 29 July, 11 guerrilla units of two infantry regiments under Chen Guangsuo, totaling more than 6,000 people, completed the final encirclement and annihilation of the Linzhang puppet army.

As for the instructor's guard regiment, although it did not take Feixiang County, it accidentally wiped out the main force of the puppet army in Cheng'an County at the junction of Feixiang County and Cheng'an County. Although the purpose of the guard regiment's trip has been exposed, the gain is not small, and an infantry regiment has annihilated an infantry squadron and two infantry regiments of the puppet army on the spot, which is not a small gain.

Han Yunhua was not hypocritical, and ordered all the weapons and equipment captured by the troops to be immediately equipped to all units, and those who lacked soldiers should immediately be recruited into those puppet army prisoners who were willing to participate in the Eighth Route Army, and at the same time, the army continued to attack forward, forming a situation of encirclement of Feixiang County.

The actions of Han Yunhua's headquarters greatly angered the senior generals of the North China Front Headquarters, and even General Binshan Yuan, who had always been moody, scolded the table for "eight grid tooth roads", and at the same time, General Binshan Yuan had to order Major General Tokugawa Yaichiro, commander of the Handan Army Garrison Headquarters, to send a large army to quell the rebellion.

After receiving the news that the reinforcements had set off from Handan, Han Yunhua immediately sent a telegram to the Southern Hebei Administrative Office, requesting Yang Xiufeng to immediately mobilize all the guerrillas and even militia of the Eighth Route Army to immediately launch guerrilla warfare, sabotage warfare, sparrow warfare, harassment warfare, and all other tactics that could be used, hoping to slow down the marching speed of the enemy's reinforcements.

Regardless of whether Han Yunhua's arrangement is right or wrong, the effect it plays is still obvious. The reason is that all the railways and bridges from Handan to Feixiang County were blown up by the cunning Eighth Route Army.

This not only greatly limited the marching speed of the army, but also dealt a great blow to the morale of the army, and a unit was often not defeated by the enemy, but failed in the contest with itself, especially in the test of perseverance. Although marching on foot is one of the courses that the army must learn, if you are endlessly disturbed, attacked, or even watching your teammates die one by one, as long as you are alive, you will have a sense of fear, and you will subconsciously think that the next person to die will not be himself.

However, the fighting will of the Yue army is still very tenacious, and the Yue Ben soldiers armed with the spirit of bushido are indeed not comparable to the Chinese [***] people who go to the battlefield with their enthusiasm alone. As soon as the order from above comes, no matter how much wind and rain are blocked on the road ahead, the soldiers of the Yue army will still catch up.

The endless harassment and sabotage raids by the troops of the Southern Hebei Administrative Office certainly greatly slowed down the marching speed of the Syrian army, and to a certain extent, greatly damaged the morale of the Japanese army. But it also angered the puppet army, and the puppet army began to use bayonets to force the puppet army to walk in front as cannon fodder to open the way for the little devils.

However, the Eighth Route Army showed no mercy to the puppet army that cowered and walked at the front of the team, what kind of goods these people were, as most of the soldiers were from the troops of the Southern Hebei Administrative Office, they knew nothing about these puppet troops. There is an essential difference with the puppet army in other places, the vast majority of the soldiers of the puppet North China Security Army did not go to the puppet army because they could not survive, but automatically went to the minions of the army for their own interests...... At the same time, they have vigorously carried out the directives of the "North China Front" Headquarters on "the communist army will be the target of public order in North China in the future," actively carried out the "campaign to strengthen public order," and constantly "crusaded," "swept up," burned, killed, looted, wantonly arrested and arrested the anti-Japanese army and civilians, committed heinous crimes, and slaughtered villages and exterminated ethnic groups. Therefore, when Han Yunhua was dealing with the puppet North China Security Army, he particularly emphasized that these puppet army Han Annihilation should not be treated as ordinary Han Annihilation, and if one was caught, one would be shot, and two would be dealt with if two were caught.

This can't be blamed on Han Yunhua's absoluteness, but because the security army has done a lot of evil, the people hate it to the core. In order to crack down on the reactionary arrogance of the security army, the party Central Committee and the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army even decided to intensify the work of attacking the Han and puppet armies in the enemy-occupied areas of southern Hebei and central Hebei, and even launched a special campaign to concentrate their forces on attacking the security army.

Han Yunhua is very clear about the attitude of the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army towards the so-called North China Public Security Army in southern Hebei, and there have been nine major battles in the history of the Eighth Route Army's campaign against the Public Security Army: the ambush battle of Shilipu on December 15, 1941, the battle of Dongshuangchengzi on December 26, 1941, the battle of Liu Beizhai on January 3, 1942, the battle of Mazhuang Huzhumaling on January 4, 1942, the battle of Xijiuzhai on January 6, 1942, and the battle along the Guohe River on January 13, 1942. On January 20, 1942, the battle of Yangdianzi, on February 4, 1942, the battle of Liangzihe, and on February 5, 1942, the battle of Jia Zhuangzi. There were also 14 smaller battles, for a total of 23.

It can be seen from this that to what extent the Eighth Route Army hated the puppet army, especially the North China Security Army. That's why he dared to attack the North China Security Army so unscrupulously.

If it is said that the most powerful fight against the puppet North China Security Army is the troops under Han Yunhua, speaking of which, I have to talk about Bao Sen, a senior general of the Eighth Route Army who has not been mentioned for a long time. Due to Han Yunhua's successive victories in eastern Hebei, the big puppet army collapsed, so Bao Sen's department, which had been persisting in the war of resistance in eastern Hebei, was quickly incorporated into his own army by Han Yunhua. And Bao Sen did not disappoint Han Yunhua, although he was only the head of the main regiment, but the development of Bao Sen's department was still very fast, especially the battle of Bao Sen's department against the security army was a classic. In particular, Bao Sen commanded seven battalions of the Inner Mongolia Military Region's Jidong Reading Regiment to fight a battle of annihilation along the Guohe River, completely annihilating two entire regiments of the Fourth Group of the Public Security Army, defeating the units directly under the Third Group and the Sixth Group Army, and killing and wounding more than 2,000 puppet soldiers. For this, Bao Sen was also commended by the Inner Mongolia Military Region. In this battle, the two pseudo-commanders of the 4th and 10th regiments escaped from the battlefield by chance. However, they did not escape death and were executed by the General Headquarters of the Security Forces. In this battle, other units of the security forces were also traumatized. In the whole campaign, more than 5,600 officers and men below the rank of deputy lieutenant colonel were killed and captured, 10 instructors were killed, and two mountain guns, six mortars, six heavy machine guns, 62 light guns, more than 3,500 long and short guns, and 1,247,000 rounds of ammunition were captured.

In order to buy time for Han Yunhua's subordinates and strive to take Feixiang County before August, but it is a pity that the army is very important to Handan's big gate, and after paying huge casualties, they finally rushed to Feixiang County on the morning of July 31, and strengthened the defense of Feixiang County before Han Yunhua's subordinates surrounded Feixiang County.

Originally, the reinforcements of the Yue army were very disdainful of Han Yunhua's fighting style, but when they rushed to Feixiang County, they suddenly found that the combat effectiveness of this suddenly appeared Yue Army was indeed extraordinary, and in just four or five days, Daming County, Guangping County, Wei County, Linzhang County, and Anping County were captured. Not to mention the bitterness of the Eighth Route Army, even the Yue Army, which has always been wealthy, does not want to give up.

Originally, the army thought that it could avoid the positions and facilities carefully arranged by the Eighth Route Army, but the army's usual method of operation was to encircle in a roundabout way, and from the perspective of positional defense, there were also deficiencies and mistakes in operational guidance: First of all, the troops were scattered, and defensive battles were carried out in continuous front-line positions, and the troops were used one by one, lacking a strong strategic reserve corps. However, Han Yunhua's subordinates were also very advantageous, and the most troublesome thing for the army was that Han Yunhua's troops did not care about the honor of any soldier at all, how to fight what was easy to fight, and used all three indiscriminate tactics, and even used poison gas bombs at will on the way of the army's march, which made the soldiers panic.

But no matter what, the reinforcements of the Yue army still rushed to Feixiang County, blocking the rapid marching troops of Han Yunhua's department here, even if the reinforcements that arrived were only 26,700 people, but compared to the entire Instructor Guard Regiment, it was also a behemoth that could not be shaken.
