In response to this situation, Chiang Kai-shek's Nationalist government ordered the construction of the Yunnan-Burma Highway, the road from Yunnan, China, to Burma. The construction of the Yunnan-Burma Highway began in 1938, which connects with the central railway of Myanmar and directly connects to the port of Yangon, the capital of Myanmar. However, the construction of the Yunnan-Burma Highway has just begun, and it will not play any role in a short period of time. Even if the hundreds of thousands of elderly, women, and children in Yunnan Province work day and night, they will not be able to open until September this year at the earliest.

However, after the opening of the vessel, it only had a certain effect on Chiang Kai-shek's Nationalist Government, and did not help the Eighth Route Army led by the Communist Party in any way, after all, as long as people with a certain level of skill knew with their ass, Chiang Kai-shek would not really believe in and help the Communist Eighth Route Army, a nominal ally, was actually a big henchman.

Based on this situation, how important it was to the Communists to have a large, extensive base area that was not much hated by Chiang Kai-shek, and it was a major key to whether the Eighth Route Army could support the victory of the War of Resistance against Japan.

Because there were too many things to be transferred, Han Yunhua had to order all the non-duty troops to immediately stop training and help the military industrial units and ordinary people to transfer. Originally, there was no need to transfer the children and some ordinary people, but Han Yunhua considered that the influx of a large number of disaster victims would definitely cause a sharp increase in the pressure on all sides of the base area, so he moved a part of the population who did not have the ability to protect themselves and work out of the base area as soon as the Japanese offensive posture was too fierce, and the possible rout of the military region and the sneak attack of the small Japanese troops would cause unnecessary casualties among the common people.

According to the information sent back by Qian Zhuangfei's intelligence department in the enemy-occupied area not long ago, a large number of Japanese puppet troops were already gathering on the periphery of the Inner Mongolia Military Region. Although the exact number of troops is not clear, the Japanese troops identified by intelligence officers alone include the 109th Division, the 3rd Independent Mixed Brigade, the 4th Independent Mixed Brigade, and the 21st Division. In addition, the 26th Division and the 6th Division of the Japanese Army, which were originally stationed in Chahar and Suiyuan, as well as the Shanxia Brigade stationed in Zhangjiakou and the 39th Infantry Brigade stationed in Datong, that is, on the periphery of the Inner Mongolia Military Region, the Japanese army gathered a total of 4 divisions and regiments plus 4 brigades and regiments, and the total strength reached a terrifying 90,000 people.

Although the 21st Division, the 3rd Independent Mixed Brigade, and the 4th Independent Mixed Brigade are all newly formed units of the Japanese army, the establishment of the troops is also somewhat different from the Japanese army that is now invading China, and its combat effectiveness cannot be compared with those old divisions and regiments. But these more than 90,000 people are a force to be reckoned with no matter where they are placed, so Han Yunhua has to guard against unexpected situations.

After receiving the information sent by Qian Zhuangfei, Han Yunhua lost sleep for the first time. It has been more than eight months in this era, and Han Yunhua has been living a smooth life, no matter how powerful the enemy is, he can face it calmly, and he will always be so confident. But this time Han Yunhua did not have the confidence to win, more than 90,000 Japanese troops were enough for the Nationalist Government to organize a large-scale battle, but whether the Communist Eighth Route Army, including the Inner Mongolia Military Region under his command, could win this unprecedented war, to be honest, Han Yunhua did not have any bottom in his heart.

But when he thinks about the hundreds of thousands of unjust souls who died unjustly in Nanjing and the tens of thousands of compatriots in North China, Central China, South China, Northeast China, and Taiwan who are enduring the ravages of Japanese militarism, Han Yunhua knows that he has no way to retreat.

This time, Han Yunhua was not prepared to engage in a tragic positional battle with the Japanese army, he was ready to lead the flames of war to the enemy-occupied area, and the large army jumped to the outer line, leaving only a small number of local garrison troops in the base area to lure the enemy. As for the common people in the base area, Han Yunhua arranged it this way: The original residents were willing to move to the northwest of Shanxi Province and the military district of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo Border Region was responsible for sending them safely to the northwest of Shanxi Province, and then the 120th Division in the northwest of Shanxi Province was transferred to a safe place. Those who do not want to move are ready to move at any time, and they will be able to move to a safe place in the village as soon as possible, and as soon as they receive an order to move, they will immediately move to the found hiding place, and the specific work will be carried out by the county security regiment and the militia of each village.

For those who fled the disaster, Han Yunhua temporarily built seven or eight refugee camps in the base area, as long as all the refugees who fled from the south were concentrated in these camps, and in the shortest possible time, the young and middle-aged men and women among the refugees were transferred to the safety of northwest Shanxi or the nearby mountains. As for those who were old and infirm, they continued to stay in the refugee camp, and Han Yunhua considered that since the devil deliberately let these refugees to drag down the economy of Han Yunhua's department, it was unlikely that he would massacre these refugees. But just in case of the outbreak of the devil's beastly nature, Han Yunhua still moved the young man to a safe place in advance, after all, the body of the Japanese devil is full of beast genes, and no one knows if those crazy guys will have a few more killing competitions with a beast blood, after all, they have a criminal record. Han Yunhua thought about it, those old people who were thin and basically worthless, the devil would not care about these people, they wished to keep these old people who could not create wealth to consume Han Yunhua's already scarce materials. ,

In this way, the task of the troops to carry out the westward migration of the common people is even heavier, because Han Yunhua's unit strictly abides by military discipline in the Chahar region, and cares for the common people in the area under its jurisdiction, and the first few major wars have made the common people understand a truth: President Han Yunhua's troops are our people's own troops, and they will not leave our people alone at any time.

Based on this situation, as long as it is an order from Han Yunhua in the Chahar region, the people will strongly support it. Therefore, as soon as Han Yunhua's order was issued this time, the counties counted the lists of those who were willing to move to the safe areas in the northwest of Shanxi, and gathered these people in the shortest possible time.

Han Yunhua looked at the list and found that nearly 300,000 of the more than 1.4 million people in the base area were willing to move to the northwest of Shanxi, and the remaining nearly 1.1 million were willing to stay in Chahar. At the same time as issuing the order, Han Yunhua asked the local governments of each county and township to make it clear to the people that this relocation was basically a permanent relocation, and at least it was impossible for these people to return to Chahar before the victory of the Anti-Japanese War.

However, as long as they moved to the northwest of Shanxi Province and the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo border region, the Eighth Route Army would be responsible for their arable land and basic means of production. Han Yunhua knew that the current Nanniwan was really "Nanniwan", and it was not the "good Jiangnan" that was later developed, which was just used to settle these people, and also saved the need to use a large number of troops to open up wasteland and farm later.

This hectic westward movement continued for more than a month, and it was not until June 29, when the last group of Chahar residents embarked on the road to the west, that the westward movement in the base area came to an end temporarily, but when these people arrived in the northwest of Shanxi, it would be at least 20 days later.

For this westward migration, all the cars and military horses and all the cavalry carriages in General Han Yunhua's area were used, and the road to the northwest of Shanxi was full of smoke and dust, and the roar of cars, the neighing of mules and horses, and the cries of children made the entire westward migration road full of vitality. Of course, the price paid by the Inner Mongolia Military Region for this westward migration movement is also extremely huge, nearly half of the gasoline in the stock has been consumed, and half of the grain and captive livestock have also been sent to the people.

On July 1, the first batch of refugees from Huayuankou had passed through the Japanese-controlled Datong Special City and came to Fengzhen, which was controlled by Han Yunhua. Terauchi Shouichi also knew that Han Yunhua had already learned of his conspiracy and was ready to take it, so Terauchi Shouichi didn't make trouble when he learned that Han Yunhua was moving west to the common people of China, but just sent a few planes to show off his might along the way. But instead of sending bombers or anything like that, Terauchi Shouichi just wanted to tell Han Yunhua that he wanted to have a face-to-face battle with his Inner Mongolia Military Region.

However, Han Yunhua did not think so, and when Terauchi Shouichi sent troops to drive and lure the refugees to Chahar, he Terauchi Shouichi and the entire North China Front led by him had completely discarded the so-called bushido spirit of the Japanese army. Now the approach of Shouichi in the temple, in the eyes of Han Yunhua, he wants to be a bitch but wants to establish a chastity archway, which is extremely shameless.

Since both sides knew this, Han Yunhua directly set up a reception station on the border between Fengzhen and Datong, and the corresponding Japanese army also set up a porridge shed outside Datong City to provide those refugees with their last meal, and the two sides carried out a strange handover in an orderly manner.

Of course, this is only a superficial phenomenon, and in secret, both sides are saber-rattling, and the situation is extremely grim. First of all, an infantry wing and a cavalry brigade of the Fengwen Department of Yamashita stationed in Zhangjiakou advanced 30 kilometers to the defense area of the 1st Assault Brigade, and its forward had already entered Daya Bay on the outskirts of Zhangbei County, while a regiment of the 1st Assault Brigade of Han Yunhua's headquarters had also quietly lurked on the periphery of Zhangjiakou, ready to launch a surprise attack on Zhangjiakou City at any time.

Of course, Terauchi Shouichi's seemingly charitable approach also earned the Japanese army a lot of international points, and some unknown foreign media shouted that it was their appeal that made the Japanese Army, which had always been arrogant, reined in. As everyone knows, the beastly nature of the Japanese army has reached the bones, and it is far from being something that can be changed by a few words of shouting in the newspapers.

Shouichi Terauchi, an old fox, also lost no time in letting the Japanese newspapers publicize the good deeds of the North China Front, on the one hand, in order to appease the international condemnation of the "Japanese army" for blowing up the Yellow River embankment at the mouth of the garden and to save some international face for Japan. On the other hand, it did not mean to appease the tens of millions of refugees in the Yellow Flood Area, after all, if tens of millions of victims rioted, the impact on the Japanese army would not be small.
