Chapter 38: Han Yunhua was furious

On February 29, 1938, the 77th Brigade of Reading Force held a military meeting attended by military and political chiefs at and above the regimental level.

There was a lot of laughter in the conference room of Daqingshan, due to the needs of the battle some time ago, all regiments went to develop their territory in accordance with Han Yunhua's instructions, and they hadn't seen each other for more than a month.

Han Yunhua and Shen Yuquan walked into the conference room together, and when they saw that the more than 20 regiment leaders and political commissars were talking and laughing, the two of them couldn't help but be infected by them, and they were also very happy in their hearts.

Han Yunhua said with a smile: "Everyone is fortunate, everyone is busy with their own work during this time, take this opportunity to talk about their respective work during this time." Let's start with the 88th regiment, and then follow the others. ”

Li Dayong stood up and said: "According to the instructions of the brigade commander, our department took the initiative to attack the right flank of Chahar in the early stage, so far our department has completely controlled the entire front banner except for the county town of Qianqi, and at the same time, our department has developed forces to the west and south, and now Fengzhen County and Zhuozishan County are basically controlled by our department. During this period, the devils stationed in Fengzhen and Qianqi have encircled and suppressed our department many times, but they have all been defeated or completely annihilated by our department, so far our department has eliminated more than 3,000 puppet troops, captured 47 devil army points, and seized a large number of materials and ammunition. The unit has also been expanded, and now our unit has five reinforced battalions of 4 companies, a guard battalion, a machine gun battalion, a mortar company, and a baggage battalion, totaling 5,376 people. ”

As soon as Li Dayong's words fell, there was a gasp in the conference room, and the political commissars of each regiment commander secretly said in their hearts: "It is worthy of being a general trained by the brigade commander, and the number of troops has doubled in less than a month, which is amazing." ”

Wang Jian then Li Dayong said: "The work of our department responsible for organizing the new 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th regiments has now been successfully completed, and preliminary training has been conducted for the four regiments of the new 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th regiments, and now all four regiments have half of the combat effectiveness of the 99th regiment. ”

Yang Chengwu, the commander of the new regiment, stood up and replied: "Our department was ordered to attack Zhangbei County, and now we have controlled most of Zhangbei, but because Zhangbei is an important military town in the Chahar region, the devils have stationed heavy troops in Zhangbei, so our department has not occupied the county seat and its surrounding areas. During this period, the devils carried out five large-scale encirclement and suppression of our department, but all of them were defeated by our department, and a total of about 1,900 people from three squadrons of the devils and two regiments of the puppet army were destroyed, and a lot of enemy funds were captured. At present, our department has a regular full-strength infantry regiment of more than 2,500 men, three infantry battalions of 650 men, and a captured automobile battalion. ”

During this period, the fire support regiment and artillery regiment, as well as the newly formed infantry regiment and cavalry regiment, either reorganized the troops or cooperated with the 88th Regiment and the new regiment in combat.

After all the military commanders of the troops finished speaking, Shen Yuquan got up and said: "Everyone has worked very hard during this time, whether it is the troops fighting in the first line, the troops left behind in the second line, or the sporadic troops that cooperate in the operation, they have all made remarkable achievements. I will ask the headquarters for credit for you, and now let the commander explain to you the main contents of this meeting. ”

After taking a sip of water, Han Yunhua said: "In February 1938, in order to open up the Tianjin-Pudong Railway and unite the northern and southern battlefields, the base camp successively mobilized eight divisions, three brigades, and two detachments of about 240,000 people, under the command of Yan Junliu, commander of the Central China Dispatch Army, and Terauchi Shouichi, commander of the North China Front, to carry out a north-south advance, and planned to first capture Xuzhou, a strategic point in East China, and then take Zhengzhou west along the Longhai Railway, and then capture the heart of Wuhan along the Pinghan Railway. In order to cooperate with the operational plans of the North China Front and the Central China Front and contain the troops of the Eighth Route Army in central Hebei, northwestern Shanxi, and the Chahar region, in mid-February, the Yue Army gathered more than 12,000 troops to launch a four-way siege on the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region of the Eighth Route Army, and at the same time gathered more than 10,000 people of the puppet army to launch an all-out attack on the base areas in northwestern Shanxi. In late February, more than 8,000 members of the Kuroda Brigade of the 26th Division stationed in Datong and more than 3,000 people of Li Shouxin's division of the puppet Mongolian army invaded the base area in northwest Shanxi Province from the north by three routes. At the same time, the devils gathered a large number of puppet troops in Jining and Guisui (Hohhot), and made an active offensive posture against our Daqingshan base area. ”

Shen Yuquan said: "According to the instructions of the Party Central Committee and the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, the Inner Mongolia Military Region was established with Daqingshan, where the 77th Brigade is located, and the 77th Brigade as the backbone, with Comrade Han Yunhua as the commander, Comrade Ye Baoguo as the director of the Political Department, and Comrade Yang Ruihua as the director of the Logistics Supply Department and the county magistrate of Xinghe County. The headquarters of the Eighth Route Army ordered our unit to fully cooperate with the 120 th Division in the anti-encirclement and suppression battle in the base area northwest of Shanxi Province, and gave us the right to temporarily fight freely and seek opportunities to annihilate the enemy. ”

When Han Yunhua was about to give an operational order, Cai Wu, the platoon commander of the brigade headquarters report platoon, walked in quickly and said, "Report to the brigade commander, the 88th Regiment and the New Fourth Regiment have emergency reports. ”

Han Yunhua said: "Read"

Cai Wu read aloud: "Brigade Commander, a company of our unit stationed in Daying Village, Qianqi, was attacked by about a squadron of the army on the night of February 28, in order to cover the transfer of the masses, the three companies of the first battalion of our department were severely damaged, and there were only 39 people left in the whole company, and the masses in Daying Village also suffered heavy casualties, 47 elderly people were killed, and the loss of food, livestock and property was incalculable. On the same night, four villages in Zhuozishan County were attacked by devils, and the defenders of our department suffered heavy losses in order to cover the transfer of the masses, and in one village, because our troops only garrisoned one platoon, and the devils besieging that village had a squadron of infantry and a small squad of cavalry, they were outnumbered and the platoon of our department was completely annihilated, and then the devils searched for young men with the surname of men from door to door, and wantonly slaughtered them without asking what was done with the merits, and in less than two hours, 177 residents were brutally killed. This included 27 children and 4 infants. The 88th Regiment of the 77th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, February 29, 1938. Then Cai Wu read again: "Brigade Commander: Two villages of our unit stationed in Zhongqi were attacked by devils on the night of February 28, the second company of the second battalion and the fourth company of the third battalion of our department were completely annihilated by the enemy, and the masses of the two villages were slaughtered by the enemy, and our army lost 312 soldiers and 376 people, including 57 children and 11 babies under the age of one. The New Fourth Regiment of the 77th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army. ”

After listening to these two telegrams, Han Yunhua was almost mad, slapped the table and asked: "Li Dayong, Li Dabao, how did you become the two regiment leaders, you let the devils touch the village, and you don't know how your intelligence work is done." ”

Li Dayong thought for a while and said, "Commander, it is true that we did not do our job well, please punish me organizationally." However, before I came to the meeting, I was afraid that the devils would make any changes, so I specially told the troops that as long as the devils dared to go out of the city, they would concentrate their firepower on me to annihilate them all, and I also set up six monitoring points inside and outside the two county towns of Fengzhen and Qianqi, and there was a radio station for every two monitoring points, so it was impossible for these devils who attacked our department to come out of these two county towns. ”

Li Dabao, commander of the New Fourth Regiment, also spoke: "Although our regiment is a newly formed unit, its combat effectiveness is not as good as that of the 88th, 99th and the new 1st Regiment, but it is by no means comparable to the troops of the Kuomintang and local warlords. Besides, the puppet army commander of Zhongqi County has secretly defected to us, as long as there is any movement from the devils in the city, we will receive the news immediately, so I conclude that the little devils who sneaked up on our department are not the devils in Zhongqi County. ”

Han Yunhua thought for a while and said: "It seems that the devil wants to give us a body to treat others in the way of others, in the past, we had a small army scattered to look for fighters, and once there was an opportunity, we would gather superior forces to attack the enemy." Now the enemy is taking the initiative with a rapid reaction force to attack the villages where our small units are stationed, and to carry out a devastating strike at the villages where our troops are stationed. ”

Shen Yuquan asked, "Then where did this group of devils come from?" ”

Han Yunhua said: "If my guess is correct, it should be the enemy's cavalry or infantry on horseback and a small number of mechanized troops from Guisui (Hohhot), Datong, Liangcheng, Siziwangqi and other places. Only in this way can we be caught off guard, and only in this way can we be caught off guard. ”

Wang Jian asked angrily: "Commander, this group of brutes does not even spare the old man and children, we must avenge this revenge, what do you say we should do now?" ”

Han Yunhua's eyes showed a fierce light, and he said murderously: "Blood debt and blood repayment, since this old devil has made a move, then we can't help but return the color, since he sent a small force with a quick response, then we will force him to appear automatically." Order: The entire military district was immediately brought to combat readiness at the first level. The 88th Regiment must take the two county towns of Qianqi and Fengzhen before March 2, and then gather its forces in Lizhuang, 50 miles west of Jining City, to prepare for blocking the reinforcements from the direction of Guisui of the Yue Army. The 99th Regiment sent troops to the rear banner of Chahar's right flank overnight and must take the county seat before the evening of March 2, and prepare to march into Jining. The New Fourth united forces to gather all their strength to take the county seat of the central banner of the right wing of Chahar, and to destroy the army in the city, remember not to be captured by devils. The New Second Regiment, the New Third Regiment, the New Fourth Regiment, the New Fifth Regiment, the Fire Support Regiment, the Artillery Regiment, and the Fourth Cavalry Regiment followed me to attack Jining. The New Sixth Regiment stayed behind in Daqingshan and was responsible for protecting the safety of the Xinghe County Party Committee and County Government. The new regiment will shrink its forces and launch a large-scale attack on the devil's stronghold in Zhangbei County, and it will be imperative to uproot all the devil's stronghold in Zhangbei County by 4 March, blow up all the railway bridges in Zhangbei County, and lay mines on the important road leading to Zhangjiakou. The 2nd Cavalry Regiment and the 3rd Cavalry Regiment marched along the Pingsui Railway, uprooting the strongholds of the devils along the railway, and blowing up the railway bridges along important sections along the way, but the cavalry was not allowed to attack the fortresses and other strong military fortresses of the devils. The 1st Cavalry Regiment and the 5th Cavalry Regiment were ambushed and distributed at the important junctions leading to our base area in Guisui, Baotou, and Datong to prevent the infiltration of small enemy units. Comrade Ye Baoguo sat at the headquarters of the military region, and Comrade Shen Yuquan acted with the Second Cavalry Regiment and the Third Cavalry Regiment. The code name of this operation is called "Revenge", do you understand? ”

"Got it!"

"Alright, let's carry out the order!"
