The news of Han Yunhua's capture of Pengze soon spread to Wuhan, and Chiang Kai-shek and Chen Cheng and other senior generals were taken aback, how did this Han Yunhua get there, you must know the information from the military commander, Pengze County was defended by a complete infantry brigade of the Yue Army, and at the same time, the Yue Army also sent an additional brigade of reinforcements. In such a small county town, the army has placed two infantry brigades, and such a defensive arrangement has raised the important surname of Pengze County to an unprecedented height.

But such an important military town was silently recovered by Han Yunhua's subordinates, how could Chiang Kai-shek and others not be surprised? When the news reached Wuhan, people from all walks of life in Wuhan were again jubilant. Chiang Kai-shek, Chen Cheng and many senior generals sent congratulatory messages to Han Yunhua's subordinates at the same time, congratulating Han Yunhua's subordinates on their new achievements.

This time, Chiang Kai-shek was no longer a verbal compliment, and the day after Han Yunhua's telegram was reported to Wuhan, a major general of the chamberlain, Gao Shen, rushed to the Hukou fortress by plane. When he learned that Han Yunhua was now inspecting the front line of Pengze, this Xie Gaoshen immediately drove to Pengze. Xie Gaoshen was accompanied by several reporters from the mouthpiece media of both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party.

After receiving Li Dayong's telegram, Han Yunhua immediately went to Peng Zeximen to greet this Xie Gaoshen with a face full of Wang Yuanhua, Han Yunhua knew that this Xie Gaoshen was a god of wealth at this time, but he couldn't be lazy.

Sure enough, this Xie Gao said loudly as soon as he saw Han Yunhua: "Congratulations to Brother Yunhua, your department has made another great achievement, and after the victory at Hukou, it has recovered the military town of Pengze, congratulations!" The commission is very happy this time, so I specially sent my brother and me to come to the labor army, and I hope that the Yunhua brother Haihan will be disturbed! ”

Han Yunhua smiled secretly in his heart, although the current geographical location of this Pengze County is very important, after all, this place has become the forefront of the battle between China and the upper part of the war. But it is definitely not the title of a military town, and the reason why this Xie Gaoshen said this is completely to add gold to Han Yunhua's face. Han Yunhua didn't expose it, but followed the words of this Xie Gaoshen and said: "Where is it, Brother Xie is a pillar of the country, and this words make Yunhua embarrassed." ”

Xie Gaoshen also knew the current position of Han Yunhua in the hearts of the high-level leaders of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, so he didn't dare to be too careless, and immediately said: "Don't hide it from Brother Yunhua, brother, I came this time on the orders of Chairman Jiang and Vice Chairman Zhou of your party to come to Pengze to work on the front line, and at the same time to do an interview with you, a well-known hero of the resistance against the Chinese army. I also know that it is inappropriate to do such a thing in the imminent war, but this is a political task jointly assigned by the party-state and your party, so I hope that the Yunhua brothers will cooperate. ”

Han Yunhua didn't say whether to cooperate or not, but turned his head and asked, "I wonder if Brother Xie has brought some supplies to our department when he came to the labor army this time?" As a result of the successive battles, our army suffered heavy losses, especially the weapons and ammunition were almost exhausted, and I wonder if Chairman Chiang has already sent the supplies promised to our army. ”

Xie Gaoshen has always been a difficult senior general to deal with, but he never knew that this Han Yunhua would have such a headache. Is this obviously blackmail, but Chen Cheng still has a certain understanding of Han Yunhua, and he will take advantage of it, and there is no ambiguity. Therefore, Chen Cheng had long expected that Xie Gaoshen would definitely return empty-handed when he went to this mission empty-handed, so he suggested that Lao Jiang bring the batch of supplies promised to Han Yunhua's department with him.

Xie Gaoshen smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Yunhua, as far as I know, just the day before we left, Chief Chen had already sent your department's supplies over. Since I came by plane, and your supplies are delivered by train, I am still on the road. But thinking that the time is almost up, the Yunhua brothers can't help but ask the troops in Hukou? ”

Han Yunhua snorted, and said with some humor: "Don't hide it from Brother Xie, we are a force that fought out of the ravines, and there is nothing else, only a poor word, which cannot be erased from beginning to end." This time, our army went south to participate in the Battle of Wuhan, and the Party Central Committee concentrated all the weapons and ammunition that the whole army could get their hands on, so we could not afford to lose, let alone fail. ”

Obviously, Xie Gaoshen also knew the details of Han Yunhua's department, and he didn't believe Han Yunhua's words at all. If that is the case, then the more than 300,000 troops of the North China Front Army are all eating dry food, and even a Chinese [***] team that cannot guarantee supplies and ammunition cannot be defeated, how can they dare to mix in China, let alone completely destroy China.

However, at this time, Xie Gaoshen did not dare to refute this anti-Japanese hero with a high reputation at home and abroad. I had to say depressedly: "Brother Yunhua, let's see if you let those reporters and ladies outside the door come in." It's not the same thing to keep people outside the door all the time. ”

Han Yunhua patted his head and said, "Yes... Yes..., look at my surname, Wei Peng quickly invited those reporters to the living room, this time we were rude. ”

To Han Yunhua's surprise, the three reporters who came this time were all beautiful ladies, and two of them were twins. As soon as he entered the door, Han Yunhua took the initiative to say: "I'm very sorry, this time because of some special military secrets brought by Xie Gaoshen, it is our fault that we have made you wait for so long." ”

Xie Gaoshen, who was on the side, pursed his lips and shook his head depressedly. secretly said in his heart, how could this Han Yunhua be so shameless, black and white reversed. It's clear that he's deliberately wasting time, but in the end, it's not mine. But think about it, he is a hero of resistance with heavy troops, and he is just a major general with no post and no power. The two of them are not people on the same level at all, and what people say is what they say. Now what Xie Gaoshen desires most is to complete this task quickly, and then stay away from this hateful Communist general, otherwise he will always be eaten clean in the end, leaving no dregs.

Xie Gaoshen smiled unnaturally at the three beautiful reporters, and said: "Brigade Commander Han Yunhua is here now, if you have anything to say, you can ask him now, I am just an accompanying guest, so I will not bother you next, I will protect everyone and leave after you finish the interview, if there is anything, everyone hurry up, I will go back to the barracks first." After speaking, Xie Gaoshen turned around and walked out.

After Xie Gaoshen left, Han Yunhua invited the three reporters to his office in Pengze County, and then introduced himself: "I think you already know who I am before you come here, and I didn't need to introduce myself to this one, but since you want to make a propaganda for me, then I have to say a few words." I am Han Yunhua, the commander of the 77th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army of the National Revolutionary Army, and I am also a glorious [***] member. Now that I and the Chinese national defense forces I led have come to the big city of Wuhan and the small county town of Pengze, our purpose is very simple, that is, to resist the Japanese. We will not and are not qualified to participate in matters between higher-level leaders, but aside from the political level, I can say with a clear conscience to all the patriotic people who are bent on resisting and caring about China's destiny that I am a Chinese. ”

After Han Yunhua finished speaking, one of the twin beauties said crisply: "General Han, I am a reporter under the Ministry of Military Affairs of the National People's Axe, my name is He Jia, and this is my sister He Ya." I don't know that you know that Miss Fan and I of your party are here with political tasks. Although in the battle on the outskirts of Wuhan, your army has repeatedly achieved good results, but in the entire theater of war, our army is still at an absolute disadvantage, so you are now a banner, an immortal banner of our Chinese nation, and a hero of resistance recognized by both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, so I hope that in the following interviews, you can speak freely and boldly express your views. ”

Han Yunhua nodded in agreement, and the first person to ask the question was Fan Yun, a reporter from Xinhua Daily, as a journalist who has been working in the enemy war zone, Fan Yun's political sense of smell is not at all worse than those old Jiang who often work in the political axe department. For Han Yunhua, a hero of resistance vigorously promoted by both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, Fan Yun has been famous for a long time, but he has never had the opportunity to meet. Fan Yun was very excited in his heart when he finally had such an opportunity to get in touch with this hero in the party at close range, and asked as soon as he opened his mouth: "Comrade Han Yunhua, I am Fan Yun, a reporter from the Wuhan main station of Xinhua Daily, and I heard about your name when I was in Yan'an. According to some records of our party, it is said that this majestic and mighty army you are now leading was built by you, and neither the party Central Committee nor the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army have given any support. ”

Han Yunhua smiled: "How to say it, the question you just asked is basically true, but there is still one thing that needs to be corrected." At that time, our new regiment suddenly met with the main force of the 21st Brigade of the elite fifth division of the Japanese army on the way to the front line of resistance, and the two sides fought an encounter battle unprepared, in this battle our army was defeated, and the troops suffered heavy losses, and when we got rid of the pursuit of the Japanese army, the troops were only more than 400 people left, and the new regiment at that time rushed to Xinghe County in the south of Chahar. At that time, almost all of the new regiment were wounded, few were capable of fighting, and there was an extreme shortage of weapons and ammunition, and it had lost contact with its superiors, and the situation was very miserable. But even so, our fighters still did not give up hope, fought continuously against the devils under extremely difficult conditions, and developed themselves while resisting. During this period, our soldiers made great sacrifices, but we achieved great results, and the power of militarism in northern China was almost wiped out. Although the growth of our department is inseparable from our own efforts, and it is true that the party Central Committee and the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army have not given us any material assistance, it absolutely cannot be said that the party Central Committee and the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army have not played any role in the development of our department. On the contrary, the party has played a decisive role in the development of our department, and this role is mainly manifested in the ideological and spiritual level of the troops. The main reason why the troops we lead are able to fight again and again, and to fight endlessly, is mainly because we have a great party. Further down there are some issues at the political level, so I won't go into them all here, but if there are any other questions, please hurry up? ”

The beautiful reporter who belonged to the national political axe was very dissatisfied with being robbed of the opportunity to ask questions by Fan Yun, but He Jia was also very interested in this young general, and she boldly asked: "General Han, your army once resisted hundreds of thousands of troops of the North China Front Army with a brigade division during the Battle of Saibei, and also defeated the Yue army, and the lieutenant general and major general lost a large number of them, does this mean that the combat effectiveness of your army has completely surpassed that of the Yue army?" ”
