Chapter 474: Battle Shandong

Han Yunhua is still relatively relieved about the war on the Shandong front, although the strength of the Japanese puppet army in Shandong is relatively strong, but his own troops are not weak, and the double volume is far more than that of the Japanese army, and he does not necessarily suffer losses when he fights. However, the one in Saibei is different, the Japanese puppet army has a heavy army group stationed in Suidong, and they are all cavalry groups, although there are many men and horses under Shen Yùquan's department, plus the independent 77th Division of Master Chen in eastern Hebei to contain the infantry group of the Japanese Kwantung Army, but it is still unable to fully compete with the Kwantung Army.

After receiving Shen Yùquan's telegram, Han Yunhua pondered for a while, starting a war with the Kwantung Army was extremely risky, which he saw more clearly than those big leaders in Yan'an, but he was more aware of the huge benefits of sending troops to Suidong. Suidong itself does not have much appeal, and is nothing more than a jīrib for the entire Nei Éng Ancient Military Region.

However, Suidong is a springboard for advancing into the Northeast, and the Northeast region is what Han Yunhua values most, and now the other three main divisions of the Eighth Route Army have made great progress, according to Han Yunhua's understanding, the 129th Division alone has more than 130 infantry regiments, with a total strength of more than 300,000, and the 120th Division and the 115th Division are not bad, and in terms of the strength of the Eighth Route Army, it can already compete with the Japanese army in North China, of course, the scope is limited to North China. Nationally, the strength of the Japanese army is not yet the strength of a single political party.

Therefore, the role that Han Yunhua's subordinates can play in North China is already very limited, and because the Inner Ancient Military Region is in the limelight, it is not only regarded as a big trouble by the Japanese, but also arouses the suspicion of the National People's Government, after all, hundreds of thousands of elite Chen soldiers in North China can be attacked, retreated, and defended, and if Han Yunhua's troops are allowed to hold important places such as Jingcheng Pass and Shanhaiguan, they can completely dominate the entire North China, which is intolerable to the Nationalist Government. Therefore, the future development of the Inner Ancient Military Region in North China is very limited, and what the Inner Ancient Military Region will do is what Han Yunhua has to consider.

In fact, it is okay for the Inner Folk Ancient Military Region to continue to attack southward, but I am afraid that the anti-Japanese national united front may not be able to hold it at that time, so Han Yunhua now takes a fancy to the northeast. Although the strength of the Kwantung Army was there, Han Yunhua did not plan to clash with the Kwantung Army head-on, he only planned to fight a few battles with the Japanese army on the border between Suiyuan and the Northeast, so that the people of the entire Northeast knew that the state and government had not abandoned them, and that there were many people who were fighting with them, and that they were fighting against Japan.

Moreover, Han Yunhua judged that if the war continued like this, it was already foreseeable that the war would end early. It is still more beneficial to take the northeast in advance or occupy a favorable terrain to form a powerful enemy and friend posture for the Japanese puppet army in the northeast. Moreover, Han Yunhua, a large number of heavy industries in the Northeast region, has already coveted it, and with the land of Northeast China, the development of ** and the whole of China will be ten years in advance.

The order urging the recruit divisions of the military region to speed up the march had already been issued, and Luo Ronghuan directly approved all the recruit divisions to rush to Jining by train, and then the whole army would rush to Jidong and Suidong after gathering in Jining.

Let's not talk about the war in Saibei, although Saibei is full of smoke and clouds, the most attractive thing is the duel between China and Japan on the Shandong front. In view of the strength of the squadron, Okamura Ninji transferred all four divisions of his Eleventh Army to Lubei, plus the 21st Division that had been responsible for the defense of Lubei before, the Japanese army stationed a full five infantry divisions in the narrow area of Lubei, in addition to the Japanese army also transferred one of the only two puppet army divisions in Shandong to Lubei to assist the Japanese army in fighting.

On 25 February, the Third Route Army of the Inner Border Military Region simultaneously launched a full-scale attack on the Japanese troops in Linxi, Qinghe, Gucheng and other counties, and at the same time sent a large number of special combat teams into the Shandong region to carry out strategic sabotage and beheading operations. Under the orders of Okamura Ninji, relying on the favorable terrain to resist stubbornly, the two sides launched a desperate struggle on the border between Hebei and Shandong.

Lu Quan Tun Nanshan. The position of the 1st Field Division, 1st Brigade and 2nd Regiment.

Zhang Ye, the political commissar of the Second Regiment, was a man in his thirties, rough and hideous, and people like him looked like bandits more than the Eighth Route Army, and military cadres more like political cadres. However, such a cadre has grown a delicate heart, and in the nearly a month that has been surrounded by the Japanese army, if it were not for the support of this careful political commissar, the entire Second Regiment would have already broken up.

Now Zhang Yeqiang endured the hunger in his stomach, raised his somewhat trembling arms and stared at the map that he had read more than a dozen times, thinking seriously.

"Political commissar, call from the division headquarters"

"Reading"

"Zhang Ye, today Han Yunhua, the commander-in-chief of the former enemy headquarters of our military region, has issued an order to besiege Dezhou and rescue your department, and hundreds of thousands of troops in the whole military region will start a battle with hundreds of thousands of elite Japanese troops in the northern Lubei area. Division, Wang, Jiang. After reading the telegram, the combat staff officer withdrew.

After listening to the telegram, Zhang Ye burst into tears, and he couldn't help himself. Zhang Ye had always been worried that the division headquarters would just leave them here, because although the 2nd Regiment was also the main division of the 1st Field Division, it was nothing compared to the 1st Regiment of each brigade. The combat effectiveness of the 2nd Regiment among all the regiments of the 1st Field Division can only be regarded as average, and the number of people is less than 3,000. Moreover, this time the Second Regiment was surrounded by several field divisions of the Japanese army, and after all, the Second Regiment had a tragic conflict with these Japanese divisions, and the Second Regiment had already suffered more than half of the casualties when it was surrounded, so the price to pay for rescuing the Second Regiment was not much smaller than rebuilding a Second Regiment, so the soldiers of the Second Regiment were worried that the military region would abandon them.

Zhang Ye dragged his tired body to the jar placed in front of the underground command post, and said in tears: "Lao Liu, did you hear it? The division commander did not abandon our second regiment, and now even the commander is here, in order to rescue our second regiment military region dispatched hundreds of thousands of troops, you can now look at it, you and the soldiers' hatred will be remembered by us who are alive, it will not be long before our second regiment will be a fully staffed main regiment, you go all the way."

After tidying up the tattered military uniforms on his body and tidying up his mood, Zhang Ye shouted to the guards outside the command post: "Inform all military and political cadres above the company level to have a meeting at the command post." ”

"Yes"

Soon more than a dozen equally tired men walked in, and the tattered military uniforms had long been unrecognizable, but the murderous aura of each one was enough to make everyone shake.

"Political commissar, why is there a meeting again, his grandmother's somehow, today's little devils are extremely violent, the number of little devils on the periphery of our position has increased a lot, and now it is about to reach a full infantry wing, it seems that the patience of the little devils is about to run out." Xu Zhiguo, the commander of the first battalion, said as soon as he entered.

Zhang Ye said with a smile: "Comrades, don't be impatient, wait for Comrade Niu Niu to come, we will start, give you a thorough look in advance, today is good news"

"What's the good news, political commissar, you tell us in advance, we also have a psychological preparation," Jiang Yihua, the commander of the second company of the first battalion, quipped.

"It's better to wait for Comrade Niu Tendon, and when he comes, I'll say together, his position is a little far from the command post, hehehe" Zhang Ye said with a smile.

Zhang Ye was very satisfied with these military and political cadres of the Second Regiment, although most of them had not been in the army for a long time, but the vast majority of them had graduated from the Saibei Military Command College, so they had excellent military command level and political literacy. Although many military and political ... [This chapter is not finished, please click on the next page to continue reading!] ］
