It is a pity that Han Xing is still the chief of the operations section of the Operations Department, but this has made it more convenient for Han Xing to go to various places to carry out activities and go to the new 8th Brigade to represent the Eighth Route Army in various places as a military expert to guide the war.

The headquarters of the new 8th Brigade has also studied the issue of Han Xing's position, and according to Han Xing's military exploits, it is indeed appropriate to be promoted to deputy brigade commander, and he can apply for special approval from his superiors. However, the background of the Korean Bank is too complicated, and in such a complex political and military situation, it is better to slow down and observe.

On the occasion of the reorganization of our army, on June 5, the Japanese troops stationed in Kaifeng, Xinxiang, and Shangqiu, with a total of more than 6,000 infantry, more than 2,000 cavalry, more than 160 automobiles, and 16 tanks, launched an attack on the Puyang area. When the main force of our army was discovered, more than 20,000 Japanese troops from Yanzhou, Tai'an, Xuzhou, Anyang, and Handan were mobilized to attack Qingfeng and Puyang in 12 routes.

Under the command of Commander Yang Dezhi, the troops of the Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region skillfully jumped out of the enemy's joint attack circle.

The 2nd Battalion of the 22nd Regiment of the New 8th Brigade was ordered to retreat from the area around Guancheng to the north to engage the enemy, but the enemy who had a large "sweep" chased after him, and on June 25, the 2nd Battalion surrounded Genglou Village on the border between Guancheng and Guanxian.

The commanders and fighters of the second battalion fought bravely for 7 hours, killing more than 100 Japanese puppet soldiers, and finally broke out of the encirclement. However, 128 commanders including Shi Qinchen, political commissar of the 22nd Regiment, also died bravely.

This "sweep" by the Japanese army also dealt a blow to the local armed forces, and the Chaocheng detachment, which had just been formed, was scattered by the enemy, and the armed forces in various districts had no choice but to disperse the guerrillas. A squadron of the Japanese army occupied Chaocheng, and the headquarters was located in the Shanxi Guild Hall.

Shi Yousan, who retreated to southwest Lu, also learned Qi Zixiu's set, that is, the Japanese army's front foot "sweep", and he then came to the second "sweep".

When the Japanese army's large-scale "sweep" had not yet ended, the Kuomintang 39th Group Army, which had retreated to Shi Yousan, which had retreated to southwestern Shandong, reached a secret agreement with the Japanese army of "mutual non-aggression, exchange of intelligence, and mutual assistance," and entangled more than 20,000 members of the Luxi Miscellaneous Army, known as the New Central Army, and carried out a second "sweep" on our base area on 28 June.

At the same time, in order to avoid misunderstandings with the Japanese army, Shi Yousan sent a secret letter to all departments, informing all units of the contact method reached with the Japanese army.

That is, when the garrison approaches, if there is a misunderstanding, they will immediately retreat and send someone to contact each other to explain. If an airplane is coming, a white flag can be spread out on the roof, and no shooting is allowed. Units shall not be subject to levy food and wages beyond the boundary, and shall not be subject to this restriction when they are oppressed by armed forces in the activities of the armed forces. In case of garrison, use the identification flag or white flag to wave left and right, and use a flashlight to shoot at night.

Day and night marches should be limited to 10 miles from their garrisons. Actions south of the Yellow River should be carried out before the end of the day, and activities should not be carried out around 8 p.m. If the army is oppressed by bandits, when it is necessary to move outside the garrison, it should be informed while doing so. The garrisons have been informed that they will be ready to assist me in the event that I need to send troops.

What kind of garrison? Isn't the garrison the Japanese army in the place occupied by the Japanese army! What kind of plane, the Communist Eighth Route Army hates not even having a military airfield, where did the military plane come from? Isn't that the Japanese plane!

These messages had already been intercepted by Pan Xiaoan and handed over to Han Xing. Han Xing told Zhao Hongwu, the military command station in Liaocheng, through secret channels, and asked him to quickly notify the Youmen department.

Han Xing knew that sooner or later this matter would be known to the Kuomintang military authorities, that is, Commissar Chiang. Just leave this burden to the chairman. Let's see what he does with this Shi Yousan.

If he doesn't deal with Shi Yousan, it means that at least the 39th Group Army does not resist the Japanese, and he still wears a pair of pants with the Japanese. It would be better if Shi Yousan was dealt with, and one of the opponents of the Eighth Route Army was cut off.

With the support of the Japanese troops stationed in various counties, Shi Yousan and his subordinates quickly occupied the area from Puyang to Chaocheng, and placed their headquarters in Gongzhuang, Puxian County, and the Gao Shuxun Department of the New Eighth Army was stationed in Liuxiatun in the east of Puyang, and the Meng Zhaojin Department of the Provisional First Division was stationed in Guyunji, and the instructor Shi Youxin was stationed in Guancheng.

Shi Youxin sent the Haizhou Division of the First Brigade to be stationed in Leizhuang and Zhengzhuang in the south of Chaocheng.

Shi Yousan attempted to take the Pufan Guanchao as the center, control the area east of Qingfeng and Puyang, connect northwestern Shandong and northern Henan, and cut off the connection between our northern China and central China and Shandong's bases behind enemy lines.

Wherever the recalcitrant army went, they first captured Dinnaff, dug ditches and walls, demolished houses, cut down trees, and built stronghold pillboxes. Miles of trees in the area of Guyunji were cut down, and the masses tragically called it Bald Village. They forcibly demanded food, clothing, poultry, and livestock, and many people were forced to flee the countryside.

Shi Yousan also appointed Shi Youxin as the director of the Hebei-Shandong-Henan Administration and Sun Liangcheng as the director of the Luxi Xing Camp to establish a reactionary political organization.

In the entrenched area, the White Terror was carried out, rumors were spread, and the Eighth Route Army and local anti-Japanese workers and their families were searched and arrested, and the anti-Japanese forces were attacked.

At the same time, they also organized and systematically developed Huidaomen organizations to oppose the Communist Eighth Route Army and sabotage local anti-Japanese activities.

These sects were a kind of backward and superstitious non-governmental organizations in old China, and they were mostly organized with the call to eliminate disasters and take refuge, prevent bandits and protect their families, and maintained internal unity by superstitious means and feelings such as believing in gods and worshiping Buddha.

In the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, some Huidaomen had carried out armed struggles against Japan. However, with the advent of the stalemate stage of the War of Resistance Against Japan, its upper-level figures could not withstand the temptation of the Japanese army's hypocrisy and stubbornness, and thus became a tool for the Japanese, puppeteers, and stubborn to attack the revolution. Besides, its own power is limited, and it must be dependent on one side, or it will perish sooner or later.

The main Huidao gates manipulated by the Japanese puppet and Shi Yousan are the fast track, the Longfeng Road, the Mingyan Road, and the Red Gun Society, the Puyang, Fanxian, and Guancheng in the south are mainly fast tracks, and the Shen County in the north is dominated by the Red Gun Society. In the name of preventing bandits and protecting their homes, they did not take supplies from the Eighth Route Army and the anti-Japanese democratic government, did not allow them to be stationed, or carried out reactionary propaganda to oppose anti-Japanese activities.

The situation in the border areas is a political performance by various reactionary forces in northwestern Shandong after the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression entered the stage of stalemate. The Japanese puppet is the most vicious enemy, and we must resolutely crack down on it. The most devastating part of the war was the stubborn army of the Kuomintang, and they caused trouble, let alone anti-Japanese resistance, which caused great difficulties to our survival.

On July 10, the main forces of our army in southern Hebei, western Hebei, and Hebei, Shandong, and Henan, commanded by Song Renqiang and Xiao Hua, launched the third anti-stubborn operation. The troops of the Luxi Military Region attacked the area of Fan County, Wulihou, and Fangpu, and quickly seized the above-mentioned places. Cut off the connection between the Haizhou Department in the area of Chaocheng Leizhuang and Zhengzhuang and the main force of the recalcitrant army.

The southbound detachment launched an attack south of Qingfeng and expelled the recalcitrant troops of Liutaji, Dongbeizhuang, and Acropolis. The recalcitrant army was left with only two strongholds on the upper embankment, Liuxiatun and Guyunji. Then, the main force of the Eighth Route Army successively captured Yancunpu and Zhaolou in the southwest of Fan County, and annihilated more than 1,200 people from Sun Liangcheng's 16th detachment and Shi Yousan's special service brigade.

The main force of the Eighth Route Army attacked the south of Fanxian County and the southeast of Guancheng, and fought fiercely with the enemy at Yuhuangmiao, Makou, Longwangzhuang, and Wangjia Oil Mill, killing and wounding more than 1,500 recalcitrant soldiers. Under the cover of the Japanese army, the recalcitrant army was forced to take a defensive position with deep ditches and high fortifications.

In parallel with the military strike, our army also took a powerful political offensive. Commander-in-Chief Zhu De sent a telegram to Chiang Kai-shek and Wei Lihuang, announcing the conclusive facts such as Shi Yousan's "Resolution of the Military Conference" and the eight measures for colluding with the Japanese invaders that our army had captured, and demanded that Shi Yousan be dismissed from his post and that a crusade be explicitly ordered to set the record straight.

The party, government, and military units on the front line of the battle exposed Shi Yousan's crime of colluding with the Japanese army and actively leading the way through various means, so that the officers and men of Shi Yousan understood the truth of the matter and aroused dissatisfaction with Shi Yousan's perverse behavior. It was revealed that Shi Yousan manipulated and used the Huidaomen to oppose the Communist Eighth Route Army and sabotage the conspiracy of the Anti-Japanese War, which made the deceived congregation wake up and dismantle the Huidaomen organization.

In the days when the five ghosts were haunted in the border areas, the party organizations in Guancheng, Chaocheng, Fanxian, and Guyun areas withstood severe tests. In the face of the large-scale attack of the recalcitrant army, the Guancheng County Party Committee and the county government led the people to fight guerrillas at the junction with Qingfeng County. The Chaocheng County Party Committee and Government went to Chaobei and Maji to deal with the enemy. In order to facilitate the struggle, they narrowed down the county and divided it into 10 districts. The three districts facing north are the Northwest Shandong Experimental Zone, which is directly under the Northwest Shandong Prefecture Committee and Special Administration.

In the face of a strong enemy, the CPC Chaocheng County Party Committee and the county government went deep into the rural areas, liaisoned with the branches, restrained the factions, robbers, and demands of the recalcitrant army, and attacked small groups and scattered enemies. The various grass-roots branches, having temporarily lost contact with their superiors, lurked and hidden, fought their own battles, and carried out various forms of struggle.

Under the double blow of our army's military and politics, the recalcitrant army was in a difficult situation both internally and externally, and was besieged on all sides. Their crimes of collaborating with the enemy and treason have been criticized by the countrymen, and the doors of the local government have been dismantled, and their internal contradictions have been ridden, their morale has been low, and the phenomenon of soldiers and subordinate officers fleeing is very serious.

Under these circumstances, Shiyou Sanbu had to withdraw from Guancheng in October 1940, so that Guancheng County was liberated for the second time.

Chiang Kai-shek, under internal and external pressure, also had to make a decision, secretly ordered Gao Shuxun, the commander of the new Eighth Army, to kill Shi Yousan and Shi Youxin's brothers, and Gao Shuxun succeeded him as commander-in-chief of the 39th Group Army.

In this way, this Kuomintang diehard, the vanguard and executioner of the **** industrial party, finally ended up being killed by the top brass of the Kuomintang.

After Gao Shuxun succeeded as commander-in-chief of the 39th Group Army, he shrank the defense area and prepared to attack further north. On December 18, more than 3,000 people, including two regiments of the southward detachment of our army and the 771st Regiment of the New 8th Brigade, concentrated in Guyunji, preparing to capture Guyunji and pull out this important stronghold of the 39th Group Army.

The 771st Regiment of the New 8th Brigade was the original regiment directly under Liu Zhiyuan, and after Liu Zhiyuan was transferred, the regiment commander was Yin Zhaoli. Attacking Gu Yunji was a major battle, how could Han Xing not come, he quickly came to the front line and found Yin Zhaoli.

Yin Zhaoli was also taken aback when he saw Han Xing: "Commander Han, Section Chief Han, why are you here?" When you come, I will have the bottom in my heart. ”
