Chapter 146: Battle of Wuhan: Yan'an Military Exercise (2)
As he was talking, the guard Xiao Zhang suddenly pointed ahead and exclaimed, "Chairman, look! ”
Everyone looked in the direction that Xiao Zhang pointed out, and saw that at the turn of the small hill, several cars protected two small cars slowly revealed, the cars were moving very slowly, and a red party flag was planted on the front of each car. Under the breeze, the bright party flag was waving in the wind, and it looked like a burning flame from a distance.
But what puzzled the leaders of the central government was that it was said that Han Yunhua had brought as many as 17,000 elites, and why the back of the car was empty, and there was not a single soldier. Turning the hill, the car began to accelerate. The distance of two kilometers was soon reached, and I saw that the car stopped a hundred meters away from [***] and others, and a team of soldiers wearing strange military uniforms that [***] and Vice Chairman Zhou and others had never seen before quickly jumped out of the car, formed a team, and ran towards [***] and others under the command of the captain.
The group of soldiers ran to a distance of five meters away from [***] and the others and stopped, and a person who seemed to be an officer but couldn't see any signs turned around and ran slowly towards [***] and the others alone, and reported loudly: "Report to the chief, the stinger special operations team of the Cheetah Special Operations Squadron of the Saber Special Operations Brigade of the Inner Mongolia Military Region reports to you, please instruct!" ”
Glancing at Vice Chairman Zhou beside him, he couldn't hide the surprise in his eyes, these central leaders all knew that Han Yunhua had a hand in leading troops, and they had also heard many times from the leaders of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters that the Inner Mongolia Military Region troops were strictly disciplined, tenacious in combat, and strong in combat, but they never expected that the Inner Mongolia Military Region would be able to train such an elite team.
Although these people are dressed strangely and their faces are painted with unknown yellow and green liquids, the central leaders are all military strategists who have come out of the sea of corpses and blood, and none of them are dry, especially [***] and Vice Chairman Zhou and Commander Lin, all of whom have been leading the peasant uprising movement since the Great Revolution, and they do not have an ordinary understanding of the army. Although this so-called special warfare squad has less than forty people, [***] and others see in the eyes of these people the steadfastness and bloodlust of a true predator. "This is definitely not an ordinary soldier," thought all the leaders.
[***] froze and asked solemnly, "Where are you Commander Han Yunhua?" Who asked you to come? ”
"Report to the chief, our commander is in the open space four kilometers away, and he is going to hold a small military parade there, and I hope that the chairman and the leaders will go to review it." The squad leader said loudly.
[***] and Vice Chairman Zhou glanced at each other, the two nodded to each other, and the chairman said: "Lead the way ahead, I want to see what surprises this little guy can bring us." ”
The reason why Han Yunhua did not choose to hold the military parade in Yan'an City, but chose to conduct it in an open space four or five kilometers outside Yan'an City, on the one hand, was that Wai'an was only a small city, and so many cars and artillery could not be fully deployed, so it was not suitable for military parades. On the other hand, Yan'an City has complex personnel, and there are elite spies lurking here on all sides, which is not conducive to keeping secrets.
Han Yunhua and the others all stood in 14 squares, four infantry teams, one cavalry team, one engineer team, one artillery team, one engineer team, two fire support teams, one automobile team, one guard team, one special forces team, and one officer cadet team.
When the convoy of [***] and others was about to arrive at the predetermined location, Han Yunhua stood on a Type 97 chariot and commanded the chariot to drive forward after receiving a telegram from the Stinger special operations team. From a distance, I saw a dark green tank slowly driving towards two converted convertible cars, and behind the tank were more than a dozen squares standing neatly, including a particularly huge car square.
The tank in which Han Yunhua was riding and the car in which [***] and Vice Chairman Zhou and others were riding met fifty meters away from the first square, and a tank and two convertible cars slowly stopped. Han Yunhua solemnly saluted [***] and the others, and shouted loudly: "Chairman of the report: I, the Inner Mongolia Military Region, the 16,941 members of the expeditionary force, have all assembled!" Request - Central Head - Review - Please instruct! Commander-in-chief of the parade - Han Yunhua! ”
[***] stood up, also solemnly returned a standard military salute to Han Yunhua, and said loudly: "Begin"
When I came here, according to the special combat team member who acted as the driver, I told [***] and others about the general process of the parade. So [***] shouted this sentence "Hello comrades" 11 years in advance.
"Hello comrades"
"Hello Chief!"
"Comrades have worked hard"
"Serve the people!"
The cordial greetings and the resounding replies of the officers and soldiers under review resounded throughout the wilderness.
On a military truck not far away, the communications unit of the guard battalion set up a bulky amplification equipment, and a soldier said loudly in a non-standard Shaanxi dialect: "In the years of beacon fire, the three armies are arrayed, and the iron armor shines!" At this sacred moment when the 40,000,000 people of the Chinese nation are engaged in the war of resistance against Japanese aggression, the people's army of the Inner Mongolia Military Region under the leadership of the Eighth Route Army led by me was solemnly reviewed by the party. Since the establishment of the Inner Mongolia Military Region, this is the second time that the people's army has reported to the party in the form of a military parade. ”
"We will not forget that the May Fourth cry of 1919 awakened the desire of the Chinese people to pursue freedom; We will not forget that the feat of founding the party in 1921 opened a new chapter in the Chinese nation's indignation and hard work; We will not forget the gunfire in Nanchang in 1928, which sent out the roar of the Chinese sons and daughters against oppression; We will not forget that the great declaration of 1937 opened a new journey for the descendants of the dragon to wash away a century of shame. ”
"We will not forget that Deputy Commander-in-Chief Peng greeted us on behalf of the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army of the Party Central Committee, and we will not forget that the people in the base areas used the rations they saved to support us in the war; We will not forget our brothers and sisters-in-arms who sacrificed their lives on the battlefield of resistance against Japan. ”
"Under the correct leadership of the Party, the people's army of our military region is committed to the goal of building a powerful, modernized and regularized revolutionary army. The people's army of our military region has actively promoted army building closely around the goal of "winning wars and not delaying them," and has worked hard to achieve leapfrog development, so that our army will reach a new stage in modernization. ”
After reviewing the fourteen squares, under the leadership of the tank that Han Yunhua was riding, the car in which [***] and others were riding stopped on a small hill not far ahead. Then Han Yunhua asked [***] and others to get out of the car, ready to let [***] and others watch the column.
I saw that under the command of the military commanders of the various units, all sides strode towards the small hill. This time, Han Yunhua personally served as the commentator, and Han Yunhua explained loudly next to the central leaders: "The first to be inspected by the infantry is the infantry team, and the first brigade and one regiment of the Inner Mongolia Military Region are at the forefront of the troops. The predecessor of the 1st Assault Brigade was the new 1st Regiment of the 386th Brigade of the 129th Division of our Eighth Route Army, and it was an old unit of our Inner Mongolia Military Region. The 1st Assault Brigade is one of the most elite infantry units in the Inner Mongolia Military Region, and the 1st Regiment is a well-deserved main force of the 1st Assault Brigade. Now the regiment has three infantry battalions, one artillery battalion, and one machine gun battalion, with a total of 2,967 people. It was equipped with 2,312 Type 38 rifles, 124 light machine guns, 75 heavy machine guns, 36 mortars, 75 grenadiers, and 12 75mm caliber mountain guns at the garrison of the first regiment. The 1st Regiment is a unit with a glorious tradition, which has gone through the flames of war since its founding, and has successively fought against the 5th Division, the 6th Division, the 26th Division, the 21st Division, the Yamashita Brigade, the 39th Brigade, and the 4th Brigade of the Reading Force. The regiment was awarded four collective first-class merits, 17 second-class merits, and 32 third-class merits. The regiment currently has 287 first-class combat heroes, 876 second-class combat heroes, and 1,234 third-class combat heroes. At the same time, the regiment has 13 hero teams and 19 hero groups. The 1st Assault Brigade and 1st Regiment are well-deserved elites of our Inner Mongolia Military Region. ”
"Now walking in front of the chiefs is the Guisui Garrison Brigade Garrison Regiment, the brigade is formed by the former Inner Mongolia Military Region Saibei Military Division and a part of the reserve troops of the Inner Mongolia Military Region, the predecessor of the Guisui Garrison Brigade Garrison Regiment is the famous 88th Regiment, is the absolute main force of the original 77th Brigade of the Reading, in this battle to encircle and annihilate the Mongolian Corps, the 88th Regiment first attacked Guisui City, and made great contributions. The regiment has .........."
“………”
“……….”
When the phalanx of the Saber Special Operations Squadron walked in front of [***] and the others, Han Yunhua explained loudly: "Report to the leaders, what is walking in front of us now is my guard, that is, the most mysterious and most effective sharp knife unit in our Inner Mongolia Military Region - the Saber Special Operations Brigade. The Saber Special Operations Brigade was established in February this year, and it is composed of elite veterans and combat heroes, as well as highly educated soldiers. This is a unit that appears in unexpected places of the enemy, they are the enemy's nightmares, and each of them can not only master the skills of speeding cars to capture prisoners, climbing cliffs, grappling and fighting, stepping on ice and snow, wading and swimming. Special operations such as reconnaissance and espionage, covert infiltration, raids and sabotage, joint operations, and hostage rescue are also all available in groups. At the same time, they are a group of unsung heroes, no matter how brilliant their achievements will not be explicitly commended, and no matter how heavy the casualties, they will not be sympathized and comforted by the Chinese people. ”
"Next came the officer cadet corps of our military region, and these officer academies were all promoted by experienced non-commissioned officers at the grassroots level, who served as middle and lower-ranking officers in the army and were also the training academies for a small number of officers in our military region. The training of officers in our military region is integrated with the integration of military training, military education, and actual combat drills, and efforts are made to train a number of truly iron-blooded officers so that they will become the military personnel and the backbone of army building in our military region and even the entire Eighth Route Army. ”
After the parade was completed, all the troops gathered at the foot of the hillside where the chairman and others were standing, neatly organized in 14 squares, neatly dressed, well-equipped, full of enthusiasm, and high fighting spirit, this is a force with both pride and self-confidence, and this is a force that makes the enemy feel terrified.
Han Yunhua ordered loudly: "Welcome the party flag, play the military song"
Under Han Yunhua's order, a flag guard team composed of thirty-six people neatly guarded a bright red party flag and walked up the small hill where [***] and others were standing. Under the command of the captain of the flag guard, the six main flag guards spread a huge party flag on the hill......... "forward... Forward... Forward... Our team is facing the sun, stepping on the land of the motherland, carrying the hope of the nation, we are an invincible force, we are the children of the people, we are the people's arm, from fearless, never yielding, fighting bravely until the puppet army is wiped out, [***] The banner is flying high! The horn sounded in the Whistling Army!
Listen! How loud the revolutionary song is!
Comrades marched to the battlefield of resistance in a neat pace, comrades marched to the frontier of the motherland in a neat manner! Forward! Our team to the sun to the final victory! to the liberation of the whole country!"
The song is sonorous and powerful! Filled with the desire for victory, all the chiefs were moved by the high-spirited fighters of the Inner Mongolia Military Region at this moment. I can't help but applaud this group of national elites, this is a kind of recognition, this is a kind of encouragement, and this is a kind of hope sustenance.
Han Yunhua's voice remembered once: "Please speak for us with our beloved [***]!" ”
[***] stepped forward, quietly looking at this mighty and majestic army under the hill, at this moment, he seemed to return to ten years ago, back to the eve of the Autumn Harvest Uprising, back to Jinggang Mountain, back to Ruijin City, back to the Chishui River...... "The flesh and blood of the heroes are condensed into the iron bones of the [***] people, and the spirit of the heroes gathers the fierce and loyal soul of the people's army. I am very pleased to see that you have grown from weak to strong, from a newly defeated army that was about to be annihilated by the enemy, to the fact that even the North China Front under the command of General Terauchi Shouichi has been defeated at your hands. You have not forgotten the glorious tradition we inherited from the city of Nanchang, and you have used your strength to make the Inner Mongolia Military Region famous!
From 1928 to 1938, we went through 10 years of armed struggle, during which we fought with the warlords, the landlords, the compradors, the reactionary political axe, and the sky. We did not pick up guns for the sake of promotion and wealth, still less did we rise up to resist for personal pleasure, we embarked on the road of revolution for the sake of thousands of oppressed and enslaved Chinese like us. We will use gunshots piercing the clouds to sound the imprint of the Chinese people and the entire ancient Chinese country as a sign of remembrance and words of peace. This shocking sound will surely stir the thousand-thousand-mile territory of the thousand-year-old country and stir the surging blood of the Chinese nation............ In this southward march to assist the Kuomintang in resisting the Japanese invaders and defending Wuhan, you must continue to carry forward the heroic spirit of the Inner Mongolia Military Region, which is unceasingly galloping, agitated, and mighty, and ............ the majestic and imposing ."
After the exercise, Han Yunhua handed over the troops to Li Dayong's command, and he himself took Wang Yuanhua and Wan Guoquan to follow [***] and others to Yan'an City by car.
To say that the most depressed this time is Li Yuhan's mother Jiang Lifang, after hearing the news of her daughter's injury, she ignored the dissuasion of [***] and others, and insisted on going to the front line to visit Yuhan. Of course, Jiang Lifang also has a reason why she insists on coming to the front line, that is, she wants to teach her future son-in-law a good lesson, this guy is too careless, how can such a big military commander not even guarantee Yuhan's safety, it is really embarrassing.
But when she arrived at Guisui, she learned that Han Yunhua had led the troops south to fight four days ago, and now she was about to arrive in Yan'an, and she was already late. Jiang Lifang was depressed and found that now she wanted to teach this stinky boy a lesson, and she could only wait for him to come back, looking at the happiness that could not be concealed in her daughter's pale face, Jiang Lifang sighed in her heart.
Since Yuhan's body has not yet recovered, although there is no serious illness, let alone any injuries, but the escape of nearly a month has made Yuhan's body extremely weak, so Han Yunhua arranged for Yuhan to recuperate in the field hospital, and no one can let Yuhan be discharged without his personal approval. In order to take care of her daughter nearby, Jiang Lifang temporarily stayed in Guisui. On the one hand, it is to take care of her daughter, and her daughter has been away from her for half a year, saying that she doesn't want to even believe herself, and now seeing her daughter's weak body like this, it makes Jiang Lifang feel very distressed. On the other hand, she wants to see for herself what kind of fame that stinky boy has tossed on the Mongolian plateau, and even [***] and others attach so much importance to it. Whatever others say is not as true as what she sees with her own eyes, so she chose to stay in the Inner Mongolia Military Region.
Yan'an, the cave of [***].
Now there are three people sitting in the cave of [***], sitting at the top is [***], while Vice Chairman Zhou and Han Yunhua are sitting on the left and right sides of [***]. This is [***] and Vice Chairman Zhou have recovered from the shock of the military exercise and returned to their former calmness.
[***] said with emotion: "A year ago, Enlai and I didn't want your kid to go to the front line, on the one hand, because your father died to save the two of me, and he didn't want his only son to go to the battlefield so early. On the other hand, I also have doubts about your command ability, although your kid has a very good level of education, although he has not gone to school, but the students taught by Ms. Jiang are still very recognized. However, you have never really been on the battlefield, and your combat experience is almost zero, so we don't worry about handing over a force of thousands of people to you! But you kid can always create some miracles for us, you and the Fifth Division of the Yue Army have nothing to hear from after the encounter in that city, and at that time, the Yue Army issued relevant evidence of the total annihilation of the new regiment in a timely manner, and Enlai and I thought that your kid was finished like this. I didn't expect your kid to make such a big fuss in Chahar, the army has developed to three infantry brigades, several auxiliary fire brigades, and now the troops are even equipped with tanks, and the cars are hundreds of taels as soon as they are dispatched, which is terrifying! [***] said with heartfelt emotion.
