Chapter 270: The End of the Second Battle of Saibei (4)

Settled Richie? After Perin and the others, Han Yunhua was not easy, and now the battle situation is getting more and more weird, and a large number of soldiers do not know where to go. In order to block information, the Japanese army used telecommunications reconnaissance vehicles to continuously haunt Beiping, Tianjin, and other big cities, and the intelligence organs of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party were seriously damaged. Since the vast majority of the information is passed by hand-to-hand hand, the damage is not too serious. However, due to its huge influence and the fact that the Nationalist Axe Military Command Bureau is the biggest opponent of the special high-tech section of the Chinese army, it has received "special care" from the military and has therefore suffered a little more damage.

Han Yunhua was very uneasy in his heart, saying that the army of the North China Front Army had nearly 400,000 troops, in addition to the more than 100,000 troops stationed in Shanxi, 670,000 troops stationed in Shandong, and 100,000 troops stationed in Henan and Hebei, there were now about 40,000 or 50,000 troops missing. You must know that it is a devil of two divisions, and wherever it is placed, it is a force that is enough to change the situation of the battle. Han Yunhua would not be surprised if the army transferred all its troops to attack Han Yunhua's department, but judging from the current situation, it seems that the army has other intentions.

As soon as Han Yunhua returned to Qian'an City, a telegram was sent from the front line, and the number and strength of the army registered from the mouth of the Dapu River had been clearly investigated, and the numbers of these devils were very mixed, and the special combat personnel saw the 10th Division, the 14th Division, and the 26th Division from inside. This little devil is not only equipped with tanks and armored vehicles, but also belongs to an artillery unit that is different from the usual army, with a large caliber, which seems to be a 150mm cannon. The most important thing is that the spirit of this army is very unusual, and the soldiers are full of arrogance when they walk, and they are definitely the elite troops of the army. Because Han Yunhua destroyed the road leading the Dapu River estuary to Qian'an when he led the special combat team to retreat, the speed of this little devil's march was not fast. Since last night, I have only walked more than 40 kilometers, and I am still far from Qian'an City.

At the same time, the troops stationed behind in Zhangbei County sent an urgent telegram saying that the main forces of the Yamashita Brigade and the 3rd and 4th Brigades of the Yuli Mixed Brigade had rushed to Zhangbei County this morning, with a total strength of about 12,000 troops, more than 50 tanks and armored vehicles, and a mule-horse artillery unit, commanded by Major General Yamashita Fengfumi, commander of the Yamashita Brigade. However, stationed in Zhangbei County was an elite infantry of the Inner Mongolia Military Region, and its combat effectiveness was also quite strong; although the number was only one regiment, in fact there were four infantry battalions, with a total strength of more than 3,800 people.

Han Yunhua knew that the intention of the Yue army was to cut off the back roads of the troops in eastern Hebei, but Han Yunhua was not worried about the army led by Yamashita Fengwen at all, since the Yue army wanted to come to the bottom of the kettle to draw salary, then he didn't care about teaching the little devils a lesson, telling them what it was to govern others in the way of others.

However, Han Yunhua also knew that the combat level of the Yue army was still very high, and he would never use the old trick of such a simple thing to deal with him. Therefore, Han Yunhua did not rush to give orders to the troops on the front line, but ordered the reconnaissance companies of each unit to expand the scope of investigation. At the same time, Han Yunhua also ordered Qian Zhuangfei's intelligence department to pay close attention to the movements of various units of the North China Front Army and report as soon as there was news.

With the issuance of Han Yunhua's order, the huge war machine of the Inner Mongolia Military Region quickly started, and the information of the reconnaissance department and the intelligence department was also quickly fed back to the front-line command center.

"Wei Peng, are you saying that the troops of the army Qinhuangdao have also been dispatched, and there are quite a few of them?" Han Yunhua asked suspiciously.

It is no wonder that Han Yunhua was puzzled, you must know that before deciding to launch the Second Battle of Saibei, the intelligence department of the Inner Mongolia Military Region spent a lot of energy to collect the garrison of the Eastern Hebei Army, so all the troops of the Eastern Hebei Army of the Eastern Hebei Army were investigated clearly. The original garrison of Qinhuangdao was the 8th Wing of the 4th Division of the Kwantung Army and the 16th Group of the Imperial Allied Army. However, in order to flank the 77th Division, a large number of troops such as the 8th Wing and the 30th Wing of the 4th Division were assembled, and were finally served by Li Dayong in the Huma Camp. Now there are only three or two kittens left in the puppet army in eastern Hebei, and it can still gather such a large-scale army, and it is still from Qinhuangdao to the west.

"Yes, commander, just now Minister Qian just sent a secret telegram, saying that about 14,000 troops from Qinhuangdao are rushing towards Qinglong County, where Master Chen is stationed, and the number of the troops is still the Second Division of the Kwantung Army. However, the marching speed of this army was not fast, and it was not equipped with combat vehicles, but there were quite a few artillery pieces, and the preliminary estimate should be a reinforced artillery wing. Wei Peng replied seriously.

"Second Division, this is impossible! The Second Division originally had more than 29,000 people, but only more than 12,000 people in eastern Hebei, and 5,000 or 6,000 were annihilated by our army at Hanjiadian and Sichakou, and the remaining remnants of the defeated army all fled back to Chengde. However, the other part of the troops of the Second Division was stationed far away in the areas of Benxi, Dandong, and Tieling, and it was impossible to reach Qinhuangdao in a short period of time. In my opinion, the eight-layer army is a combination of the remnants of the Fourth Division and the third-rate garrison troops gathered from various counties in eastern Hebei, and there may even be puppet troops among them. It can be said that this army from Qinhuangdao is completely a paper tiger, and their purpose is to create pressure on our army. Hum! Binshanyuan, this old devil, is so wishful thinking! I really thought that I, Han Yunhua, was so stupid that I didn't know anything, but now it seems that the Yue army wants to carry out a big siege and kill my troops in eastern Hebei. Binshanyuan mainly relied on this mysterious army from the mouth of the Dapu River, and the troops equipped with a large number of tanks, armored vehicles and heavy artillery were indeed difficult to deal with, and if they fought a field battle with such an elite, our military region would not be able to support the rest of the troops except for the reorganization of the 300 divisions, and they would be exhausted in a few days. However, as long as it occupies favorable terrain, the 8th Brigade should be able to support it for more than half a month. Regarding the plan of the army, Han Yunhua already had a relatively clear outline in his brain. Looking at the military map spread on the table, Han Yunhua shook his head disdainfully, and then scolded: "Xiao Yue, the dog, is really dizzy, and he actually sent such a piece of garbage to bluff. It's just a small plan to encircle on three sides and blossom in the middle, and it is also worth his Binshan Yuan to mobilize the crowd so much. Pass on my order: The Eighth Brigade of the Independent Army will use the favorable terrain such as Luanxian, Lulong, Qian'an, and the highlands along the Great Wall to block this mysterious army layer by layer, and must hold out for more than 15 days, even if it fights to the last man, this mysterious force must not cross the Great Wall. Ordered Ye Baoguo's department and the mechanized brigade to encircle and annihilate the remnants of the army in Chengde City, and it was necessary to capture Chengde City within a week. The main force of the 77th Division was ordered to secretly move closer to the Yue army on the Qinhuangdao side, and if there was an opportunity, they would completely annihilate this Yue army and inflict heavy losses on the Yue army. The 300th Division was ordered to reorganize all the 2nd Assault Brigade, 1st Assault Brigade and 1st Regiment, Artillery Regiment, and Cavalry Regiment led by Political Commissar Yang Chengwu to quickly advance to Zhangjiakou and force the Shanxia Brigade of the Yue Army to return to help. If the army is desperate, then order the second assault brigade to occupy Zhangjiakou. Han Yunhua gave the order with a clear mind, and he already had insight into what the army was thinking. Although it is not yet known that the rest of the forty or fifty thousand troops of the Yue army have arrived, as long as the Yue army in eastern Hebei is hurt, those hidden devil troops should be unable to help but jump out, and Han Yunhua will beat out the final intention of the Yue army.

"Yes......"

Peiping? Command of the North China Front.

General Binshan Yuan once again regained his kind image, and no longer had the irritability of the previous days. At this time, Binshan Motozheng was discussing the next battle plan with the chief of staff, Major General Gangtian, when suddenly a crisp voice shouted outside the door: "Report!" ”

Senior General Binshan Moto's voice could be heard by Major General Umeko Yamaguchi, so he said very calmly, "Please come in!" ”

Yamaguchi Meizi strode in with her rare long legs and said: "Report to Your Excellency Commander, the base camp is in an emergency, the mission to trap Han Yunhua has failed, all the jade of the Kawashima squadron is broken, and the squadron leader Miss Yoshiko Kawashima is missing, and it may be the same as that batch of weapons production line, and it has fallen into the hands of the Shina people." At the same time, the Germans also entered the barracks of Han Yunhua's department, and the base camp ordered our North China Front Army to annihilate the troops left in eastern Hebei by Han Yunhua's department at all costs, and at least completely destroy the production line of those weapons. ”

General Binshan Yuan was not surprised by the news at all, it seemed that everything had been expected. Putting the magnifying glass in his hand on the table, General Binshan Yuan said helplessly: "As I thought, this plan failed in the end. But it doesn't matter, the main force of Han Yunhua's department has been pinned down in the eastern Hebei area, and it is impossible to go south to support Jiang Zhengaxe, and our strategic purpose has been achieved. Although we lost most of Jidong, as long as Tadajun's side fights well, what Jidong lost is not unjust. Annihilating Han Yunhua is not something that can be done in a day or two, you must know that the Han Department now has at least more than 150,000 troops, and they are all not inferior to the elite of the Imperial Army. Although this figure is not accurate, it is only a preliminary estimate based on the current distribution of South Korean forces. But its accurate surname should be more than 70%, so the idea of annihilating Han Yunhua's department should not be mentioned again. Binshan Yuan said to Yamaguchi Meizi, he knew that this woman's background was not ordinary, not to mention that her father was the actual author of the base camp, even her sister was a powerful figure in the Imperial Army University, controlling the promotion and distribution of all army officer cadets, and she was really a figure that could not be offended. As long as the woman in front of her can penetrate the wind with the people in her family, then the North China Front will be much better.

"Your Excellency the Commander has considered it very thoughtfully, Han Yunhua's division is indeed different from the ordinary Chinese troops, and it is almost impossible to wipe out all this troops in a short period of time. But this time, the base camp sent a top-secret telegram with a backup code, and it was a death order, so ...... So ......" Yamaguchi Meizi seemed to want to remind General Binshan Yuan of the important surname of this mission, although she also knew that the strength of Han Yunhua's department was far from what those frogs at the bottom of the well in China could imagine. Before the start of the war, who would have thought that there would be a force in China that would be not inferior in combat effectiveness to any field division of the empire under the same establishment, and who would have thought that in less than two years, this army would actually use the stolen imperial chariots to form a powerful armored force. You must know that they are only a small branch of the Eighth Route Army under the leadership of the Chinese [***], and they are not regular troops supported by the Chinese political axe. The most unbelievable thing is that the commander of that unit, from the commander Han Yunhua to the ordinary generals, did not have the slightest record in the imperial archives. Now it is no longer enough to describe the strength of this branch with the phrase "strong combat effectiveness", every time this army appears in the field of vision of the empire in a strange form, it always means a new round of defeat for the empire. Although many people in the country have now realized that this Chinese army is no longer only detrimental to the face of the Imperial Army, but has strategically posed a huge threat to the empire. But despite this, the empire still underestimated the danger of Han Yunhua's subordinates. The situation of raising tigers for trouble has been formed, and wanting to remove the threat of Han Yunhua's subordinates at once is tantamount to a fool's dream.

"There's nothing good about it, as for the base camp, I'll explain it myself, this Major General Yamaguchi can rest assured." General Binshan Yuan turned to the chief of staff on the side and asked, "Gangtian-kun, are our troops already in place?" ”

"Report to Your Excellency Commander, the 1st Division has landed at the mouth of the Dapu River and has now occupied the county seat of Changli, and Lieutenant General Naosaburo Okabe is leading his troops towards Qian'an, where Han Yunhua's armored force is stationed. At the same time, Major General Yamashita led three infantry wings, an artillery wing, and a tank brigade also launched an attack on the Chinese troops entrenched in Zhangbei County, and it was progressing smoothly. According to your order, all the imperial troops and the Imperial Allied Army of China withdrew to Qinhuangdao all changed into the uniforms of the Second Division of the Empire, and the reinforcements disguised as the Second Division appeared in the eastern part of Hebei and were slowly moving towards the 77th Division of Zhina. As soon as all the other forces of the empire are in place, Lieutenant General Yasui Toji will lead the remaining 6,000 troops of the 2nd Division and more than 1,000 people gathered from the counties around Chengde to launch a counterattack on the Shina troops outside Chengde. Moreover, according to His Excellency Yasui, the Shina troops do not seem to know the actual strength in the hands of His Excellency Toji Yasui, and now there are less than 6,000 troops besieging Chengde and Chengde, and His Excellency Yasui is confident that he will be able to annihilate all the Shina troops outside Chengde City in the first time, and all the troops are already in place, just waiting for the support of the aviation regiment. Major General Okada said loudly.

"Yo Xi, very good, don't worry about the aviation regiment, it will be in place soon, now the aviation units of Baoding Airport and Beiping Airport have been assembled, and they can support the army at any time. Hahaha!! General Binshan Yuan said excitedly. At the same time, General Binshan Yuan turned around and asked, "Yamaguchi, are your troops in place?" When can you go on the offensive? Our army wants to teach Shina [***] a lesson, and now it can only rely on you Yamaguchi. ”

"Hello! Your Excellency Commander, please rest assured that this time, our army has secretly transferred six integrated infantry wings, three cavalry wings, two artillery wings, one engineer wing, and one baggage wing from the front line, and all of them have arrived in Jinan. However, the special high-tech department has already secretly reconnoitred the garrison of a large unit of the Eighth Route Army in Shandong, and is now secretly transporting troops to the designated combat area, and it is now nearing completion. At most, one day, there will be absolutely no possibility of escape for the Shandong troops, please rest assured, Your Excellency the commander, Yamaguchi will never fail to live up to Your Excellency's trust, and say Long live this empire! Long live His Majesty the Emperor! Umeko Yamaguchi replied.

"Long live the Empire! Long live His Majesty the Emperor! Senior General Binshan Mototo and Major General Okada replied in unison.

However, at this time, news came from the Central China battlefield south of the Yangtze River that the 11th Army of the 11th Army had concentrated three divisions and two other reading brigades, totaling more than 80,000 people, and launched a large-scale attack on more than 30 divisions under Luo Zhuoying's headquarters in the Ninth Theater of China.

After the First Battle of Wuhan, although the Yue army dispatched a large number of troops, the results achieved were minimal, and it can even be said that there were heavy losses. Instead of taking Wuhan, where the Chinese national axe was based, its own casualties were extremely heavy, the two integrated field divisions were completely annihilated, the two field divisions were disabled, and the 11th Army had become a toothless tiger, and the threat to the [***] team had been minimized. Subsequently, the enraged base camp divided the tasks of the Chinese army and ruled it into divisions. The 11th Group Army stationed in Anqing, Jiujiang, and other areas became the Central China Front's unit closest to the defense area of the Chinese troops; in order to prevent the Central Army from counterattacking, the base camp of the Chinese Army and the Central China Front supplemented the enemy's 11th Army; in addition to transferring several disabled divisions and regiments such as the 10th Division to the North China Front, they also transferred four newly organized field divisions and regiments in China to the battle sequence of the 11th Army. So at this point, the Eleventh Army had actually become the only force to carry out a field attack on China. After the Battle of Wuhan, China formed an encirclement posture with heavy troops in the 9th and 5th theaters in the north and south of the Yangtze River to form an encirclement posture against the troops along the Yangtze River. At this time, the strategic position of the Nanchang area became more prominent, not only covering the strategic transportation line connecting the 3rd and 9th theaters, that is, the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway, but also a strategic base for the Chinese side to gather heavy troops, posing a major threat to the Chinese army. There is also an airfield in Nanchang, where Chinese planes often go to bomb warships in the Yangtze River. For this reason, the army actively prepared to attack Nanchang. At this time, the 11th Army was in a confrontation with the main force of the Chinese political axe in Jiangxi and Guangxi regions of China holding the rear of the southwest, and constantly sought opportunities to attack, trying to take the opportunity to take Wuhan, and then forced the Wuhan national axe to surrender with military strikes and the political strategy of political inducement of surrender. Therefore, the battle of Nanchang is imperative.
