When the 129th Division was making trouble in the southeast of Shandong, Tong Jiayong, who was staying in Shandong, also received an order from Han Yunhua, asking him to do his best to disrupt the northward support plan of the enemy army in Shandong.

Tong Jiayong can be regarded as an old man under Han Yunhua, and he did not disappoint Han Yunhua, although Tong Jiayong only had less than 3,000 people in his hands, but after careful analysis, Tong Jiayong decisively made a method to attack the communication lines of the Yue army, and focused the attack on the main railway lines and highway lines of the Yue army.

As we all know, fighting a war requires food and ammunition, and this is the reason why soldiers and horses go first before they move grain and grass. The relatively high mechanization of the Xiang Yue Army is far more dependent on logistics than Han Yunhua's unit, and if the Shandong Yue Army wants to go north as soon as possible to support the southern Hebei battlefield, then the troop assembly and logistics support will be the most important thing for the Yue Army.

It was precisely because of this that Tong Jiayong led more than 3,000 elites to paralyze all the railway lines from Shandong to Hebei, Pingjin and south to Xuzhou within a week. Tong Jiayong knows better the truth of hitting a snake and hitting seven inches, and the place where the bomb exploded is often the tunnel and bridge that the army attaches great importance to, and a sound often means that the army needs ten days, half a month, or even more to repair.

At the same time, the special operations team controlled by Tong Jiayong also came in handy, the Tai'an arsenal was the second largest arsenal of the Yue army in Shandong, and due to the paralysis of the railway to Xuzhou in the south, a large number of weapons and ammunition and the army were stranded in Tai'an. Lieutenant General Otaka Kamezo realized that the detention of so many weapons and ammunition in Tai'an posed a major security hazard to Tai'an, so he urgently dispatched reinforcements from two infantry brigades to Tai'an to strengthen the defense and help the defenders of Tai'an maintain order.

But no one expected that the pervasive special combat team of Han Yunhua's department was also eyeing the Tai'an arsenal, and three soldiers had already mixed into an expatriate unit of the Yue Army. On the same night that the reinforcements from Jinan arrived, Tong Jiayong's unit blew up the arsenal of the Yue army in Tai'an, and the entire Tai'an railway station was razed to the ground, killing and wounding more than 700 people in the garrison, and four military trains parked in the railway station were overturned, causing huge losses to the Yue army.

Under the repeated blows, Lieutenant General Odaka Kamizo realized that the situation in Shandong was actually unstable, and there was a squadron [***] team eyeing him in the dark, which directly led to the fact that Otaka Kamezo changed the reinforcements transferred to Hebei from a division to an infantry brigade, and originally planned to let the most elite Fifth Division take on the task of supporting the north, but after a series of changes, Otaka Kamizo had to change to let the Sixth Brigade of the infantry read force north.

Due to the paralysis of the railway, the 6th Brigade of the Infantry Reading Force of the Yue Army had to move forward on foot, and the marching speed was greatly reduced, which well supported the battle situation of Han Yunhua's unit in Hebei.

In the next few days, the news favorable to Han Yunhua's department continued to spread to the front-line headquarters, Han Yunhua analyzed that the Inner Mongolia Military Region of Hebei had reached the predetermined strategic goal, although it failed to achieve the plan of annihilating the Handan defenders, but at this time, Han Yunhua's department was also considered to have a firm foothold in southern Hebei, and the battle situation on the northern front was also very successful. A limited number of cities, such as Hailar, are still under the control of the army, and the entire Suiyuan has been liberated.

It is no exaggeration to say that Han Yunhua already controlled the territory of the two provinces at this time, and the number of regular troops in the various theaters of the Inner Mongolia Military Region also reached a terrifying 240,000, not counting the 2,000-strong infantry regiment militia units in each county. After two years of development, the number of people in the counties under the jurisdiction of the Inner Mongolia Military Region has also increased significantly, and the relatively stable life of the Inner Mongolia Military Region has attracted a large number of displaced people to move in. Every year, about 450,000 young and middle-aged men and women come to Saibei from thousands of miles away, bringing a large number of labor force and qualified soldiers to the development of Saibei.

Han Yunhua analyzed that the army had been entrenched in North China for a long time, and it was impossible to uproot them in a short period of time, and he soon realized that he had made a mistake in his thinking during this time, although it seemed that the Inner Mongolia Military Region had made great achievements during this time, but this was also a drain on the war potential of the Inner Mongolia Military Region.

Han Yunhua realized that it was not pleasing to the army if it went on like this, but it was unlikely that Han Yunhua's troops wanted to develop rapidly, and the two months of hard fighting had greatly damaged the vitality of the Inner Mongolia Military Region, and although it had seized a large piece of territory, the soldiers had suffered nearly 10,000 casualties, more than half of which were lost on the front line in Zhangjiakou.

The casualties of soldiers are one thing, and more important is the consumption of weapons and ammunition. Although the production capacity of the Baotou Arsenal is very strong, it is limited by the limitation of raw materials, and it also has to supply the 120th, 129th, Eighth Route Army Headquarters, Jinchaji Military Region and other troops, so Han Yunhua's own but not enough, and the weapons and ammunition accumulated for half a year were exhausted in just two months, which made Han Yunhua see that the battle between China and China must be a long-term and protracted war, and it is impossible to fight overnight.

Thinking of this, Han Yunhua himself immediately changed his combat policy in case of huge losses. On the one hand, Han Yunhua ordered the mechanized brigade to quickly move south to Chengde, and the front of the troops was directed at Beiping, the ruling center of the Yue army in North China. Han Yunhua knew very well that it was impossible to take Beiping in a short period of time, but he could force the Yue army to return from Zhangjiakou to help, and Han Yunhua's purpose was to take Zhangjiakou and seize the initiative in the war situation in North China.

On the other hand, Han Yunhua ordered the units of the Eighth Route Army on the battlefield in southern Hebei to shrink their forces, and the various departments of the instructors quickly assembled and ceded the territory, including the big city of Handan, to the Southern Hebei Administrative Office. And the Southern Hebei Administrative Office came forward to package and sell the results of this period of time, that is, one city and six counties, including Handan City, to Shi Yousan.

At first, Shi Yousan, who was suspicious, didn't dare to take over the "kindness" of Han Yunhua's department, thinking that it was a set set up by Han Yunhua for him, and wanted Shi Yousan to carry the black pot for him to attract the firepower of the Yue army, but soon Shi Yousan was moved, because he saw that the Yue army seemed to be very jealous of this mysterious Eighth Route Army, and it was obvious that an infantry division of the Yue army was stationed in Zhengding County, but he didn't dare to go south to attack Handan City, which was defended by only one infantry battalion.

This time, Shi Yousan's heart moved, not that he couldn't see this risk, but relative to that risk, as long as he could keep Handan for more than a month, Shi Yousan believed that the harvest would be a big drop.

Shi Yousan is also a great name in Chinese history, but it is definitely not a good reputation. Shi Yousan was speculative and capricious in his life, stepping on two boats. He has taken refuge in Feng Yuxiang, Yan Xishan, Chiang Kai-shek, Wang Jingwei, Zhang Xueliang, himself and [***] many times, and betrayed him successively, and was called "the defective general" by the people of the time.

This is not people slandering him, Shi Yousan is extremely thick-skinned, and turning against each other is a matter of an eye, and it is this kind of person who turns his face faster than turning a book. In 1912, Shi Yousan was put into Feng Yuxiang's subordinates, as his horseman, personal soldiers, and then gradually promoted with Feng, Shi Yousan once served as the battalion commander, in 1924, Feng Yuxiang served as the Northwest Frontier Governor, and promoted Shi Yousan to the commander of the Eighth Mixed Brigade stationed in Baotou, and served as the Baotou town guard, becoming one of its thirteen Taibao.

In 1924, Feng staged a coup d'état in Yanjing and established the Nationalist Army, with Shi Yousan as the commander of the Sixth Army and the commander of the Sixth Division. In 1926, the Nationalist Army was besieged by the Feng, Zhizhi and Jin factions, Shi Yousan was responsible for the military operations against the Jin faction, because the commander of the Jin Department was his division Shang Zhen, the two armies reached an armistice agreement, so Shi You's three divisions actually expanded their strength when the Nationalist Army was completely defeated, and there were three divisions.

In the spring of 1926, the Feng Army, the Zhi Army, the Zhi Lu Army, and the Jin Army jointly launched an attack on the Nationalist Army, Shi Yousan was ordered by Feng Yuxiang to attack the Jin Army, but was blocked at Yanmen Pass, and the troops suffered heavy casualties. After Feng Yuxiang went to the Soviet Union, the Nankou Battle of the Nationalist Army collapsed, because Shi Yousan and the Jin army had already compromised, but instead contained many stragglers, Shi Yousan's 6th Division was increased to 3 divisions. After the Nationalist Army withdrew to Guisui and Baotou, the acting commander Zhang Zhijiang and others decided to enter Gansu, but Shi Yousan was reluctant to go west, so he contacted Han Fuyu and surrendered Yan Xishan. In September of the same year, Feng Yuxiang returned to China and said that he would not be held accountable, so Shi Yousan left the Jin army, knelt in front of Feng Yuxiang, and wept bitterly and repented. He was immediately appointed commander of the 5th Route and participated in the Second Northern Expedition of the Kuomintang in 1928.

In March and April 1929, the Chiang-Gui War broke out, and both sides wanted to win over Feng Yuxiang. In May, Feng Yuxiang telegraphed against Chiang and ordered all units to temporarily withdraw westward. On June 1, Shi Yousan led his troops to Xuchang, and Chiang Kai-shek's personal representative, Qian Dajun, also arrived in Xuchang, handed Shi Yousan a reward of 5 million yuan, and appointed Shi Yousan as the commander-in-chief of the 13th Route of the rebel army. The next day, Shi Yousan scolded Feng Yuxiang and announced his "ten major crimes". In the autumn of that year, Shi Yousan was appointed chairman of Anhui Province by Chiang Kai-shek, and was immediately ordered to go to Guangdong to crusade against Li Zongren and Chen Jitang. Shi Yousan and his subordinates were reluctant to leave the north and head south, fearing that they would be wiped out by Chiang's army on the way. At this time, Liangguang and Tang Shengzhi also sent people to lobby and jointly fight against Chiang. Shi Yousan agreed. On December 1, Tang Shengzhi led a telegram to discuss Jiang. On the evening of the 2nd, Shi Yousan ordered dozens of cannons lined up on the north bank of the Yangtze River to bombard Nanjing. Soon after, Tang Shengzhi was defeated by Chiang Kai-shek, and on December 21, Yan Xishan issued a telegram against Tang and Chiang Kai-shek. Shiyou Santong Electric took refuge in Yan Xishan.

In the spring of 1930, Feng and Yan conspired to woo Jiang and win over Shi Yousan. Shi Yousan once again returned to Feng Yuxiang's command. In May, the Central Plains War broke out, and Feng Yan's army was defeated. On September 18, Zhang Xueliang led the army into the customs, and Shi Yousan immediately turned to Zhang Xueliang.

Such a cunning old warlord is well aware of the current situation, and understands the important surname of the army in his hands. Because of Shi Yousan's own rebellious surname, neither Chiang Kai-shek nor the Eighth Route Army had much good impression of him, and now Shi Yousan's troops suffered heavy losses under the blow of the Yue Army, and they didn't want to recover their vitality in three years, unless they were supported by Chiang Kai-shek's political axe.

However, Shi Yousan knows very well that Chairman Jiang is a person, and if you want to eat Jiang's rice, you must let Jiang see your value. Shi Yousan believed that as long as the news of the recovery of Handan and the six counties under the jurisdiction of Handan was reported to the Military Commission, even if Chiang Kai-shek knew that this was the result of the Eighth Route Army, he would reward him, and Shi Yousan already knew the result on the battlefield in Wuhan, and Chiang Kai-shek's words at this time must be not good, and now the national political axe urgently needs a weighty "big victory" to boost the sluggish morale, as long as this record is fought by Shi Yousan, he is not afraid that he Jiang will not bleed when the time comes. Even if it is to pay a certain price for this matter, Shi Yousan thinks it is worth it.

Han Yunhua also took this into account, so he sought to cooperate with Shi Yousan. This cooperation, Han Yunhua is not well-intentioned. At present, the reason why the army did not attack Handan was entirely due to the containment of Han Yunhua's troops on the front line of Zhangjiakou, and on the other hand, the main force of the army was still in Wuhan and had not yet returned. As long as the army is freed up, the [***] team in southern Hebei will be the only target of its fire.

Compared with the powerful Inner Mongolia Military Region, the elusive Jizhong Military Region and the difficult Jinchaji Military Region, the [***] army in southern Hebei is undoubtedly the best target. Han Yunhua also knew that because the naval ships of the Yue Army suffered heavy losses in the Second Battle of Wuhan and the heavy tasks themselves, the four divisions of the North China Front had no choice but to return to North China by the Henan Railway Line.

At that time, as long as the 129th Division cooperates with it or Han Yunhua's department makes a little effort, how can Shi You's three divisions have a way to live, and even if they don't die, their vitality will be greatly damaged.

The reason why Han Yunhua did this was entirely because he knew the real surname of Shi Yousan, who was two-faced and three-stabbed, and it was known that Shi Yousan was buried alive by his subordinate Gao Shuxun because he wanted to surrender. As everyone knows, Shi Yousan has a criminal record, and before the full-scale outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Shi Yousan had a bad record of defecting to the enemy and treason. In 1932, Shi Yousan secretly left Shandong and went to Tianjin to contact Kenji Tohihara, and organized an army in eastern Hebei with the support of Yumoto. In May 1933, the Tanggu Agreement was signed, and Shi Yousan was appointed as the commander of the security of the Nationalist Axe in northern Hebei with the support of the Nationalist Commander.

In April 1940, Shi Yousan was destroyed by the Eighth Route Army in the battle in southern Hebei, so he turned to the Yue Army, signed a non-aggression agreement with Sasaki, the commander of the Yue Ben garrison, in Kaifeng, and prepared to surrender to the Yue Army after the joint elimination of the Eighth Route Army. Shi Yousan's sworn brother and subordinate Gao Shuxun did not want to be a Han annihilation, so he plotted to assassinate Shi Yousan. On December 1, Sun Liangcheng, the old governor of Gao Shi, invited Shi Yousan to Puyang in the name of holding a meeting, kidnapped him during the meeting, and buried Shi Yousan alive on the bank of the Yellow River with a hemp rope.
