The Kwantung Army's posture of shrinking its forces is obvious, but Han Yunhua also needs time now, so he doesn't have trouble finding little devils. As far as the current situation is concerned, the Northeast People's Liberation Army is still in the early stage of establishment, the reorganization of the troops has just begun, and it is impossible to form combat effectiveness without three months, and there are still many units whose weapons have not been replaced and unified, so Han Yunhua is actually quite afraid that the Kwantung Army will send a large army to encircle and suppress the PLA at this time.

Although Li Dingguo is now also the commander of the dignified field army, Danshi still likes special operations, although his command level in conventional operations is also very high, Danshi is not willing to be the commander of the Lao Shizi Po army in his heart, because the Inner Mongolia Military Region has a clear stipulation that military and political cadres above the brigade commander level are strictly forbidden to personally lead troops to the front line to fight unless they have to, especially to personally participate in combat missions. Originally, this article was specially used by Luo Ronghuan to restrict Han Yunhua, but now Danshi has become a tight spell on the heads of many special operations cadres, and even Xu Shiyou, Li Dayong and others are also made miserable by this regulation.

However, the rules are the rules, and although there are many people who see this rule as unpleasant, Danshi does not dare to violate it at will. Because the Inner Mongolia Military Region has special punishment measures for military and political cadres who violate various regulations, law enforcement officers will not show mercy to their subordinates just because you are a division commander or a commander.

However, there are policies and countermeasures, you have your Zhang Liang, I have my ladder over the wall. Although there are regulations in the military region, military and political cadres above the brigade level are never allowed to come to the battlefield to charge and fight, danshi Li Dingguo is good, don't you not let me command the troops to charge, then I don't take the troops to fight, I will go to train the troops, anyway, half of the troops of the First Field Army Yijing are in place, these troops are mottled, and there is no elite appearance at all, so Li Dingguo formulated a three-month training plan, and a very important part of it is to establish a special forces of the First Field Army, And the responsibility of this instructor of special forces fell on his head.

In peacetime, he handed over all the affairs of the First Field Army to Political Commissar Li Yanlu, and he himself selected 1,000 people from among the more than 35,000 people of the First Field Army for special training, and he wanted to select the special combat team of the First Field Army from among these more than 1,000 people. The difference with Han Yunhua's way of training special forces is that Li Dingguo's training focuses on actual combat rather than theory. When Li Dingguo and others were trained, Han Yunhua first let them learn theoretical knowledge for more than a month, and then let them go out to perform several tasks. The situation in the northeast is complicated, not only Chinese and Japanese are in the area, but also Koreans and Soviets, and Li Dingguo does not know how long the little devils have given them. However, the innate superiority of the special combat unit in fighting in such a geographical environment in the northeast region determined that it would be impossible for the First Field Army in the future to be without special forces, so Li Dingguo could only adopt the local method of training the troops in World War I.

Li Dingguo is really a bachelor, after applying for a special combat team from Han Yunhua's side to serve as an instructor, he himself and the more than 1,000 trained special combat team members completely disappeared, so that Han Yunhua and Lu Zhengcao could only stare dryly after knowing it, but Danshi was helpless, the regulations were regulations, and the Danshi regulations did not say that the army commander could not personally train the troops.

Han Yunhua knew Li Dingguo's temper, and it was really difficult for him to make him the commander of the army, but due to the problem of contact and exchange with the Soviet Union in the future, Han Yunhua could only promote him to this position. However, Han Yunhua didn't dare to rely on him all, so in addition to sending him a Li Yanlu, he also transferred two division-level cadres from the Inner Mongolia Military Region to serve as the top level of the First Field Army.

A few days ago, news came from the Third Route Army of the Anti-Japanese Federation that Zhao Shangzhi's injury was improving, although he was still in a coma, Danshi was basically out of danger, and his life was saved. Danshi Due to the particularity of Zhao Shangzhi's identity, just as Zhao Shangzhi's injury improved slightly, the Japanese army dispatched a whole infantry brigade to escort Zhao Shangzhi to Jiamusi, who was unconscious. …,

Han Yunhua only needs to confirm that Zhao Shangzhi's life is still there, and he doesn't care about the rest, the news that Zhao Shangzhi is not dead is great news for Han Yunhua.

But then the bigger good news came one after another, first of all, the Party Central Committee sent a telegram to Han Yunhua through a secret radio station, saying that the weapons and equipment of the two integrated divisions supported by the United States had all arrived in Xi'an, although the Nationalist Government did its best to stop it, Danshi insisted on the United States and fought for many parties, this batch of military aid Yijing was loaded onto the truck of the first side and was heading to Yan'an. In addition, a regiment of officers headed by US Army Colonel Sneer went to Yan'an with the convoy for inspection, and at the same time, a delegation of about 15 people was transferred from Yan'an to the Inner Mongolia Military Region in the near future.

This news can be said to be a great news for Han Yunhua and the whole **, you must know that the United States has not provided weapons assistance to ** in history, and even the Soviet Union, which has always been the leader and boss of **, did not give **the Eighth Route Army any substantial help, but just sent hundreds of books to ** with camels, that's all.

DanshiNow the United States has actually provided weapons assistance to **, which has to be said to be a breakthrough in diplomacy, and it is also a preliminary recognition in the international community, although this military aid is only the weapons and equipment required by the two integrated divisions, and it seems that there is no artillery. Danshi This is enough for the top level to be overjoyed, you must know that with the establishment of the United States integrated divisions, these two integrated divisions are enough to arm the strength of the five divisions of the Eighth Route Army, and the use of these weapons and equipment is enough to give ** 5 more elite infantry divisions.

After learning that this batch of American aid Yijing arrived in Yan'an, both the New Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army sent an urgent telegram, and the Xiwang Central Committee could distribute this batch of equipment to them. The palms and backs of these hands are full of meat, it is not appropriate to give the boss not to the second, and it is not appropriate to give the second to the boss, and there is also the Inner Mongolia Military Region, the junior is here, and the central government is in some difficulties.

After all, since the establishment of the Inner Mongolia Military Region, the weapons and equipment allocated by the central government from the Inner Mongolia Military Region and the formed units are enough to form a group army, and now the central government has suddenly obtained tens of thousands of new rifles. Besides, to put it bluntly, this batch of US aid was also won by the Inner Mongolia Military Region, if it were not for the Inner Mongolia Military Region's surprise attack on Weifang County, the rescue of thousands of expatriates from the United States, Britain and other countries, and at the same time exposing the conspiracy of the Japanese imperial family, the Americans probably would not have cared. Therefore, no matter which aspect is considered, the opinions of Han Yunhua and the entire Inner Mongolia Military Region are extremely important.

The chairman sent a telegram to ask Han Yunhua for his opinion, asking Han Yunhua if he had any thoughts about this batch of weapons and equipment. Han Yunhua's answer was very simple, he had no idea, if the central government had no opinion, all the submachine guns in this batch of US aid could be transferred to the Inner Mongolia Military Region, and as for those rifles and machine guns, forget it.

This is not to say that Han Yunhua doesn't want that batch of sophisticated American goods, but because the weapons and equipment of the Inner Mongolia Military Region are dazzling enough, and there are three main types of rifles equipped by the troops of the Inner Mongolia Military Region, the first is the Japanese 38 big cover, which is the main weapon of the Inner Mongolia Military Region; The second is the domestic formal, which is also equipped with many rifles in the major units of the Inner Mongolia Military Region; The third is the German-made Mauser K98 rifle, which is equipped with about 6 infantry divisions and all garrisons in the Inner Mongolia Military Region, and the number is also considerable. The trouble is that the caliber of these three types of guns and ammunition is not compatible with each other, and it is very troublesome to supply them in a war. If you equip some American goods, it will be even more troublesome, so Han Yunhua thinks about it and doesn't want it. …,

Moreover, only when these US weapons and equipment are used in a centralized manner can they exert their maximum power, and once they are dispersed, their power will be greatly reduced.

Sometimes I have to admire the carefulness of the Americans, this kind of understanding is either not to help you, if you want to help, I will help you send to the West. They also know that the current industrial level cannot support the consumption of so much American weapons and equipment, so they specially supported two ammunition production lines. And the same ammunition production line they supported the Nationalist Government 15, anyway, Roosevelt's meaning is very clear, the production line of weapons and equipment must not be given to China in vain, whether it is the Chinese central government or the local warlord government. Danshi can't let the Chinese always lose the war with American weapons, ammunition must be in sufficient supply, anyway, bullets and other things don't have any technical content, even if the production line is sent to them, it's nothing.

On the one hand, because the Inner Mongolia Military Region wanted a large number of submachine guns, and with the firing speed of the submachine guns, the consumption of ammunition was not like running water, and if there was no reliable ammunition replenishment channel, the more than 1,200 submachine guns would probably not only not strengthen the combat effectiveness of the troops, but would also become a burden. On the other hand, the industrial production capacity of the Inner Mongolia Military Region is obvious to all, and the production capacity of the Baotou Arsenal is basically 10 times that of the Arsenal in the border region, not counting the other four major arsenals and a large number of small arsenals of the Inner Mongolia Military Region.

The chairman and others clearly remembered that just last year, the Baotou Arsenal could produce all the equipment needed for a reinforced company in one day, and if the raw materials were sufficient, the Baotou Arsenal alone would be able to produce the weapons and equipment needed by an infantry division in a month, so sending this ammunition production line to the Central Committee of the Inner Mongolia Military Region did not mean to let Han Yunhua be a cow. Since you have taken other people's ammunition production lines, then when other troops are short of ammunition in the future, you Han Yunhua can have strong support, and the rights and obligations are equal.

However, what is interesting is that when the US delegation arrived in Guisui, the Soviet Union also sent a telegram, saying that the second batch of weapons and equipment aided by the Soviet Union to the Inner Mongolia Military Region had arrived at the Sino-Mongolian border and could be handed over at any time. In addition, there were 3,000 Soviet Red Army soldiers who arrived at the Sino-Mongolian border, and these Red Army soldiers were the elite of Stalin's hard work from the front.

In addition, Lieutenant General Ivanov handed over a statistical table of Stalin's direct dispatch from Moscow about the achievements of Ikinsa and others on the Soviet-German battlefield, and in less than half a year after returning home, the more than 500 Soviet special forces showed strong combat effectiveness, and in this war about the fate of the Soviet Union, they seemed to be ubiquitous ghosts, and more than 20,000 German soldiers died directly or indirectly in their hands, and a large number of German snipers and important targets were devastated. There were 28 German regimental and above command headquarters that were wiped out in one pot, 9 German officers above the rank of major general and 267 colonels were killed, and the lieutenants could not be counted, while Ikinsa's special combat team itself suffered less than 100 casualties.

Not only Stalin and others were surprised by the performance of Ikinsa and others, but even Han Yunhua himself was surprised by this statistical table of achievements, just from the proportion of casualties on both sides of the enemy, it can be seen that the first batch of special forces in the Soviet Union Yijing reached the level of the first-class special forces in Shijie, at this time Han Yunhua was also shocked by the level of Li Dingguo, a former guard and student, and at the same time there was a pride that was better than the blue.

The teacher will never stop at the level of his own students, and the greatest comfort of the teacher is that he is better than the blue. Overjoyed, Han Yunhua ordered Lü Zhengcao to immediately take a cavalry division of the People's Liberation Army to Manchuria to receive weapons and equipment from the Soviet Union and their trainees, and this batch of Soviet aid was allocated to Lü Zhengcao's department except for artillery and tanks, and as for this group of Soviet soldiers participating in special forces training, all of them were handed over to Li Dingguo. …,

Maybe it was the strong performance of Ikinsa and others that impressed Stalin, or maybe it was the United States' aid to ** that stimulated the Soviets, anyway, no matter what the considerations, the weapons and equipment of the Soviet Union to the Inner Mongolia Military Region this time were not a little stronger than the first time in terms of both quality and quantity. This time, the weapons and equipment of the Soviet Union to support the Inner Mongolia Military Region are still mainly heavy weapons, and tanks and armored vehicles are still what Han Yunhua wants most, as for the guns made in the Soviet Union, Han Yunhua did not care, but when Lu Zhengcao sent the list of weapons for the Soviet Union's assistance to the Inner Mongolia Military Region back to Ulanhot, Han Yunhua was still taken aback. , a full 450 tanks and 200 armored vehicles, as well as 10 infantry divisions with small arms, artillery and ammunition.

After reading this list, Han Yunhua's first feeling was shock, and the second feeling was doubt. He still knows some about the situation in the Soviet Union, with the current situation in the Soviet Union in the old Chinese saying, that is, the mud bodhisattvas crossing the river themselves are difficult to protect, even they themselves have to be assisted by the Americans, especially after the loss of the industrial areas in Eastern Europe, the Soviet Union's own weapons and equipment also have a big gap, this batch of weapons and equipment to aid the Inner Mongolia Military Region is huge enough to equip 200,000 people, what do the Soviets think, especially the worst models of the 450 tanks are BT-7 light tanks, There are even 150 T-34 main battle tanks in active service in the Soviet Union, which until now dominated the European theater and was the true king of land warfare before the German Leopard tank appeared.

After the joy, Han Yunhua fell into deep thought, what did the Soviet Union want to do, originally according to the agreement between him and Ivanov, the Inner Mongolia Military Region trained 3,000 nominally qualified special forces for the Soviet Union in half a year to a year, and when necessary, it could send a real strong force to the Soviet Union to participate in the war, and the most important thing was that the Inner Mongolia Military Region would ensure that the Japanese troops would never be allowed to appear in the Far East before the end of the war. The Soviet Union, on the other hand, provided the Inner Mongolia Military Region with weapons and equipment for no less than 20 integrated divisions and at least 1,000 tanks within two years, and the Soviet Union also trained at least 1,000 pilots and the aircraft they needed for the Inner Mongolia Military Region.

This agreement was originally to be completed within two years, and in the current situation, the Soviets seemed to be a little impatient, and they paid half of the payment at once, and it seemed that the Soviets had made a big move. Han Yunhua's thoughts wandered for a long time in the Far East and the European battlefield, and finally combined with the current time, Han Yunhua finally determined that the Soviets were going to launch the final counteroffensive. It seems that Stalin was confident of victory, but he was also worried about the 800,000 Japanese Kwantung Army stationed in Northeast China, although the Battle of Nomenkan in 39 proved that the Japanese were not as tough as they boasted, and their bushido spirit was simply vulnerable to Soviet tanks and artillery.

Because of this, in recent years, the Kwantung Army has made great progress in terms of strength and weaponry, and the number of troops has increased sharply from 280,000 to 800,000 now, and not only a large number of artillery brigades and regiments have been formed, but also tank divisions have been formed. On the other hand, the Far Eastern Military District of the Soviet Red Army has hardly any development, and it is not even as strong as in 1939, because in the past two years, a large number of elite troops have been transferred back to the Western Front through the Trans-Siberian Railway, and now there are less than 300,000 old, weak, sick and new recruits left in the Far Eastern Military District.
