Although the more than 9,000 people of the 334 Brigade are nothing in the eyes of Kimura Hyotaro, if it were in peacetime, but his 32nd Division alone could defeat or even completely annihilate the 334 Brigade in two days, but at this time, more than 9,000 people suddenly appeared would really kill people. As a veteran commander, Kimura Hyotaro knew very well what the Eighth Route Army was planning. At the same time, he also knew that if he was entangled by this 334 Brigade, the result would definitely be something he did not want to see.

And Kimura, who has been scared by Han Yunhua's subordinates, still has a doubt in his heart, in his subconscious, he thinks that Gao Shuxun's new Eighth Army is a bait that seduces him to take the bait, and this 334 Brigade is also a ruthless move of the next squadron, although it seems that the number of people is small, the performance of no one in the eyes of the Japanese army in peacetime is completely negligible, and when the time comes, the large army that is far away in Wu'an suddenly appears on the battlefield again, and the consequences are unimaginable.

Therefore, after receiving the information from the Ministry of Intelligence, Hyotaro Kimura thought for a long time, and finally gave the order to retreat with difficulty. However, even if he retreated, the old devil Kimura did not intend to make it easy for Takashuxun, and at the same time as giving the order to retreat, Lieutenant General Kimura Hyotaro ordered all the troops to use up all the shells they carried.

For a time, the rumbling shelling sound sounded all around Yongan County, and the forward position was suddenly drowned by violent explosions and billowing smoke, even the already dilapidated Yongan County was not spared, the barbaric Japanese army not only spread its anger to the forward position of the New Eighth Army, but also spread its anger to the innocent civilians.

By the time the 334th Brigade arrived at Yong'an, the Japanese army had already withdrawn for more than three hours, leaving only the New Eighth Army to rescue the wounded and strengthen the city fortifications, and at the same time dedicate a part of the troops to help the residents of the county to extinguish the fire. When Chen Guang arrived at the entrance of the city, Gao Shuxun did not come out to greet him, but assigned a major general to come out to greet Chen Guang and the others. Although it is not life-threatening, half of the arm is bloody and blurry, and it is useless for a short time.

Chen Guang, the major general of the New Eighth Army, took Yang Shufeng, Song Renqiang and others into the city, and after entering the city, Chen Guang, an iron man, was also shocked by the tragedy, only to see that the entire Yong'an city was full of black traces of the fire, and the streets were full of stumps and broken arms that had not yet had time to be cleaned up. In a vacant lot near the entrance of the city, Chen Guang saw a large number of mutilated corpses, from the clothing of these people, Chen Guang can see that this is the soldiers of the New Eighth Army, although it is no longer possible to distinguish the faces of these heroes, but the words "The 39th Group Army of the National ** Army, the New Eighth Army" on the incomplete armband can still be recognized.

At the same time, the surviving soldiers were quickly carrying the corpses of the wounded and sacrificed soldiers into the city in pairs, looking at it, Chen Guang's glasses couldn't help but redden, this is the Chinese soldiers, although their lives seem to be humble, and the sacrifice is silent. But China's history will always remember these heroic martyrs, whether they were subordinate to the Nationalist Government or the New Fourth Army of the Eighth Route Army led by **.

Chen Guang knew that now was not the time to be sad, so he ordered the troops to hurry up to help rescue the wounded, and at the same time sent a report to Han Yunhua, who was far away in Xinghe, to report on the battle situation.

Han Yunhua already knew about the affairs of Yongan County, and when Kimura Hyotaro's troops withdrew and withdrew to Shahe, the secret agents of the Intelligence Department mén lurking in Shahe telegraphed the news to Qian Zhuangfei. And for this kind of first-hand news on the battlefield, Han Yunhua can always know it quickly, and through analysis, Han Yunhua guessed that nine times out of ten, Kimura Hyotaro had withdrawn. Sure enough, the battle report from southern Hebei was sent quickly, and the result was no different from what Han Yunhua had guessed.

Han Yunhua knew that the war in southern Hebei was over for the time being, and the Japanese troops in southern Hebei were no longer able to launch a large-scale attack on the southern Hebei region. However, although the squadron took a lot of advantage, it was not possible to digest the results in a day or two, and the victory in southern Hebei was obtained by the cooperation of both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, so the distribution of benefits after the war was also a big problem, so it was impossible for the squadron to chase the Japanese army in a hurry.

Besides, not far north of the Shahe River is the Japanese army's heavily guarded Shi Mén, although Shi Mén's defense is extremely empty now, but there is still a complete infantry division and two independent wings, plus Kimura Hyotaro's half-crippled 32nd Division, the Japanese army in the Shi Mén area is not weak, and even if the instructor can defeat Shi Mén now, it will definitely not be able to hold it, so Han Yunhua thinks that Chen Guang and Gao Shuxun will not take this risk, Therefore, after Han Yunhua sent a very brief telegram back to Chen Guang, he turned his attention to the war in eastern Hebei and northern Shanxi. ,

Although the Japanese army suffered a crushing defeat in southern and central Hebei, the Japanese army still occupied an absolute advantage in eastern Hebei, and since August 22, the Japanese 10th Division has launched a fierce attack on Qian'an for a week, and the positions on the periphery of Qian'an have gradually been occupied by the Japanese army, and the living space of Li Dayong's department is being eaten away by the Japanese army little by little.

At the same time, the Japanese army's intelligence department judged that Han Yunhua's intelligence was probably in Xinghe County by intercepting the telecommunication signals between the various departments of Han Yunhua's department, and sent it to General Binshanyuan's desk. During this time, General Binshan Yuan really saw the strength and difficulty of Han Yunhua's department, and in the first battle of Jizhong, Lieutenant General Abe Guixiu was broken, and although the second brigade was not completely annihilated, there was only a complete infantry brigade left in the entire brigade, which can be said to be disabled. In the First World War in southern Hebei, Lieutenant General Sasaki Zhiichi and Major General Tajiro, who were the former head of the North China Front of the Special High-Tech Branch and the commander of the Military Police Command of the Imperial Japan, were killed, and the entire independent hún into the third and fourth brigades were completely annihilated. The troops in eastern Hebei were blocked by a small Qian'an city for a whole week and still did not have the slightest precursor to a breakthrough, and the battle in northern Hebei and southern Chanan ended with the total annihilation of the Xishiyuan Brigade of the Shanxia Division, so in just a dozen days of fighting, the North China Front lost a total of nearly four infantry brigades. Therefore, for the time being, the North China Front is undoubtedly at a disadvantage in the overall situation.

In fact, Han Yunhua himself was extremely satisfied with the performance of all the units of the Inner Méng Ancient Military Region, especially for the instructors in southern Hebei. Although the instructor had not been established for a long time, and he was personally the commander of the newly formed unit, to be honest, he paid far more attention to the instructor than the 300th Division. Because Han Yunhua is very aware of the status of the ancient military region including the reorganization of the 300th Division, even if Han Yunhua does not take special care of it, no one will dare to treat the integrated 300th Division badly, but the instructor is different, if Han Yunhua does not take care of it, no one will take such a new unit seriously.

But the instructor did not disappoint Han Yunhua, and he made a lot of achievements in several attacks. This time, it was the two integrated and independent brigades that completely annihilated the Japanese army, and what made Han Yunhua happiest was that he killed the old devil Sasaki Zhiyi. Others may not know who Sasaki to one is, but Han Yunhua is very clear.

Sasaki Toichi has two identities in Han Yunhua's heart, the first is the Japanese Army Lieutenant General and the founder of the puppet army of Manchukuo, and the second is one of the main culprits of the Nanjing Massacre. Perhaps most people attribute Yang Jingyu's death and the defeat of the Anti-Japanese Union to the joint strangulation of the Japanese puppet army and the betrayal of traitors, but in Han Yunhua's opinion, the culprit of all this is this Sasaki Daiichi who has just been killed. After the 128 Incident in 1932, Sasaki was appointed as a staff officer to the commander of the Shirakawa Yoshinori Army of the Shanghai Dispatch Army on February 23 to participate in the invasion of China. On 11 April, he was reappointed chief of staff of the 9th Division of the Dispatch Army, and on 8 August, he was appointed chief of staff of the division. In December 1932, while he was stationed at the Kwantung Army Headquarters, he was also appointed as an adviser to the Ministry of Manchuria, and the top adviser at that time was Major General Tada. In December 1934, he was promoted to the third supreme adviser of the ministry for Seishiro Itagaki. During this period, he formulated a series of measures to transform the puppet Manchurian army and foster a reactionary armed force to suppress the Chinese people. In order to prevent the collusion of soldiers and bandits, he distributed ammunition to the Manchurian soldiers, and if the battle failed, the troops were immediately disbanded, and the commander-in-chief was held accountable until he was shot. As a result, the price of black market bullets was as high as seven and a half cents, and the Anti-Union was completely unable to replenish bullets. In addition, Sasaki Toichi formulated two plans, which directly caused the defeat of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation. The first is the "Manchukuo Three-Year Plan for Suppressing Public Order and Rectification," which carried out severe military strikes against the Northeast Anti-Japanese Alliance. The first is the "Group Tribal Construction Plan", which adopted the policy of separating the "people and bandits" and cut off the supply of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation. These two plans were vigorously implemented, even after Sasaki left Manchuria. By the end of 1938, the Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation had suffered very serious losses. From the end of 1940 to 1941, the remnants of the Anti-Japanese League entered the Soviet Union one after another. There are only more than 2,000 officers and soldiers left in the Northeast Anti-Japanese Alliance. In March 1935, Sasaki was promoted to major general. In August 1937, Sasaki was transferred to Ichibong and left his post, and before leaving, he recalled the situation of reforming the puppet Manchu army and said: "Since the 10th year of Taisho (1921) in Guangdong, I have held the belief that the squadron must be fundamentally reformed. After serving as an adviser to Manchuria, he put into practice the research he had done in the past, and after five years of hard work, he achieved unexpected results. After Sasaki took office as a military adviser to the puppet Manchurians, he claimed that he regarded the "reorganization" of the puppet Manchu army as his "life's work", and his purpose was to prepare for the battle at the pass, to assist the Kant Emperor Puyi in his return to Beijing, and to hope that "perhaps a Wu Sangui-like figure would emerge" in North China. And because Sasaki spent five years to "reorganize" the puppet Manchu army, he was called the "father of the Manchu army" by the Japanese invaders. ,

After the start of the Japanese army's full-scale war of aggression against China in 1937, Sasaki was appointed as the commander of the 30th Infantry Brigade of the 16th Division (division commander Nakajima Imago Masa) on August 2, and was incorporated into the combat sequence of the Second Army of the North China Front. At the beginning of September, he led the 30th Infantry Brigade (under the jurisdiction of the 33rd and 38th Infantry Wings) from Kyoto, Japan, landed in Tanggu on the 11th, and formed the Sasaki Advance Detachment with the 30th Infantry Brigade as the backbone. In October, it invaded the area east of Xingtai. On November 9, Sasaki set sail from Dalian Port with the 30th Brigade of the First Brigade, and on November 12, seeing that the sea was yellow, he entered the waters of the Yangtze River, invaded Changshu, Wuxi, and Danyang, and then attacked and advanced to Nanjing along the highway of Jurong and Tangshui Town. On December 6, he broke through the first position in Nanjing, occupied the Purple Mountain on the 12th, and then participated in the inhumane Nanjing Massacre. Takeshi Noda and Toshiaki Mukai, the two demons who carried out the "Hundred People Beheading", were under this person. He commanded his troops to massacre more than 3,000 Chinese people at one time. After December 21, the Japanese divisions and regiments withdrew from the city one after another, and Sasaki went to the first division to continue the massacre. Until January of the following year, Sasaki was one of the most criminal and murderous troops in the Nanjing Massacre, so Sasaki was also one of the main culprits of the Nanjing Massacre. On March 1, 1938, he was promoted to lieutenant general and transferred to the commander of the Third Brigade of the Second Army of the North China Front.

It was precisely because of his understanding of this fang that Han Yunhua was in a very happy mood when he learned that the instructor had completely annihilated the independent Hún into the third and fourth brigades and killed its supreme commander, Lieutenant General Sasaki to the first lieutenant. But Han Yunhua also knew that the Japanese army had a deep heritage, and although it had lost some territory, the squadron did not dare to be too pressed, and the war in southern Hebei would not change much for the time being.

However, on the battlefield of eastern Hebei, the Japanese army had a new move, and after learning the information that Han Yunhua was likely to be in Xinghe County, General Binshan Yuan immediately adjusted his plan to attack eastern Hebei, and he ordered the cavalry group to immediately bypass Qian'an and march towards Chengde, the great city of eastern Hebei. At the same time, he also ordered the Yamashita Division and the 20th Infantry Division of the Japanese Army stationed in Zhangjiakou to immediately raid Xinghe County, for which General Binshan Yuan also assigned the precious 1st Brigade of Field Heavy Artillery to the command of Lieutenant General Yamashita Fengfumi, and the former 39th Infantry Brigade stationed in Datong, which had just been upgraded to the Takagi Division, also received an order that the whole army should go north to complete the encirclement of Xinghe County, and to cut off the possible Chinese reinforcements from the direction of Jining at all costs, and he wanted to completely besiege Han Yunhua in Xinghe County.

As the only Japanese spy who entered the Méng Ancient Military Region, Yamaguchi Umeko judged that Han Yunhua could not be in Xinghe County, and it was very likely that he was in Daqingshan, the birthplace of the Inner Méng Ancient Military Region.

In order to ensure the accuracy of the intelligence, General Binshan Yuan did not hesitate to use the most important nail of the Japanese army's special high-tech department lurking in the north, and finally confirmed that Han Yunhua was on Daqingshan, and there were only a few troops accompanying him.

After receiving the news, General Binshan Yuan was overjoyed, he knew very well that Han Yunhua's worth at this time, in the wanted warrant issued by the Japanese army, Han Yunhua himself ranked third with 3.5 million oceans, second only to Chiang Kai-shek, president of the Chinese National People's Government, and **actual leader***.

As early as after the Japanese army occupied Northeast China, it had offered a heavy reward for the capture of Yang Jingyu, a hero of the Anti-Japanese Federation, and in the 41 years of the Japanese army in the Northeast Army's "Wild Deputy Crusade", the Japanese army did have a precedent for distributing photos on a large scale before the war, and General Yang Jingyu was martyred in the "joint crusade of the Japanese and Manchurian military and police in Tonghua, Jilin, and Jiandao provinces". This "Great Crusade of the Wild Vice-Minister" was commanded by Major General Wild Deputy Changdeok. Before this "crusade", Nobu Changde rushed to print as many as 20,000 bounty orders with photos of Yang Jingyu, and the Japanese puppet military and police who participated in the war all got the photos. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Japanese army repeatedly published rewards for the main leaders of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party in newspapers and radio stations, and for this reason, the Japanese army also specially formed two tǐng teams - Mashiko Shigeo Tǐng and Okawa Momoyoshi Tǐng team.

Even before the Japanese army swept Dàng Taihang Mountain, they issued photos of ***, Zhou Enlai, and Zhu De to each soldier. Of course, this kind of thing rarely happens, and in fact, most of the Japanese troops did not have the habit of knowing the appearance of enemy generals before the war. After General Zhang Zizhong was martyred, the vast majority of Japanese troops did not know General Zhang Zizhong's face, and used the newly captured photos to find General Zhang's loyal remains. ,

With regard to targets of strategic value, the Japanese army was still very determined to strike at them. According to historical records, in May 1942, during the summer sweep of the Taihang and Taiyue base areas by the Japanese army, the 63rd Division of the Japanese Army organized the notorious Mashiko Shigeo Tǐng and Okawa Momoyoshi Tǐng to carry the photos of the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army and many generals of the 129th Division in Shanxi for a bloody sweep. That time, the intelligence of the Japanese army was very accurate, and almost all of the generals of the Eighth Route Army in the photos were indeed in the encirclement. Moreover, the Japanese army actually accurately grasped the information that Deng *ping, the political commissar of the 129th Division, had just gone to Taiyue on the eve of sweeping dàng, and the words "in Taiyue" were specially marked under Deng Ping's photo. According to Chinese historical sources, the areas that the Japanese army swept this time included Yi County, Manxian County, Wan County, Tang County, Qu County, and the eastern part of Fuping County, and these six counties are all located in the Taihang Mountain Mountains or at the foot of the Taihang Mountains. This sweep dàng is the Japanese war history recorded in the history of the Japanese army from September 16 to December 10, 1943 in the western Hebei "Cai" operation, that is, what our army called the Jinchaji Beiyue District three-month anti-sweep dàng. According to the records of the Japanese army's war history, the 63rd Division participated in the "Cai" operation with four infantry brigades, one mountain artillery brigade, and one tank squadron as the backbone, and the biggest result of the Japanese army's sweep was to kill Zuo Quan, then deputy chief of the general staff of the Eighth Route Army, in Liao County.

General Binshan Yuan is very aware of Han Yunhua's military and political value, in his opinion, Han Yunhua alone is far more powerful than the five infantry divisions of the squadron, if he exchanges four infantry brigades for Han Yunhua's head, General Binshan Yuan feels that he has earned. Therefore, after reading Yamaguchi Umeko's intelligence analysis, General Binshan Moto transferred the Yagyu Jun Special Combat Team and Mashiko Tǐng Advance Team, which he attached great importance to, to Yamashita Fengfumi's command.
