Chapter 533: The Reconstruction of the Shandong Military Region in Dezhou

Although Han Yunhua had a vague guess about the abnormal behavior of the Japanese army, due to limited intelligence, Han Yunhua couldn't think of what kind of medicine the Japanese army was selling in the gourd for the time being. But Han Yunhua knew that the more this happened, the more it showed that the little devils were not small, and it also showed that they had the more necessary to attack. Therefore, Han Yunhua instructed all the troops on the front line not to let the little devil's temporary strategic retreat confuse his eyes, and it is advisable to chase after the poor man, since the little devil's intention is not clear, then he will expose his intentions.

Under Han Yunhua's instructions, the 3rd Route Army of the Inner Mongolia Military Region did not stop attacking, but attacked more bravely, occupying a large number of towns in northwest Shandong in just three days. Although the Inner Mongolia Military Region did not make a breakthrough for the time being due to the heavy defense of the Japanese army in Dezhou, Leling, and other places, Han Yunhua's headquarters still achieved major results in the vast township areas and hilly and mountainous areas.

On October 16, two infantry divisions of the North Route Army of the Inner Mongolia Military Region surrounded the 21st Division of the Japanese Army outside the city of Leling, and launched a frantic attack on Leling on the same day.

At the same time, the other two armies of the Inner Mongolia Military Region also launched a siege on the two important military towns of Dezhou and Linqing, and Han Yunhua's request was that there was no need to make a major breakthrough immediately, and the troops had time, as long as the strategic intentions of the Japanese army were brought out.

Although the Inner Mongolia Military Region spared no effort to attack, the Japanese army was already in an absolute defensive state in the northwest of Shandong, but the Japanese army still had no intention of counterattacking, but even more shrinked, and according to the information sent back by the intelligence officers in the city, the Japanese army seemed to be going to build several key cities such as Dezhou, Leling and Linqing into bunker cities, and now these cities will have Japanese engineering units and the people who were forcibly recruited by them to build fortifications in these cities day and night. Many old urban areas have been completely transformed into bunker areas, and a large number of houses that hindered the shooting of bunkers have been forcibly demolished, and there is a feeling that there is no way out.

The abnormal behavior of the Japanese army made Han Yunhua even more puzzled, this is not Okamura Ningji's style, what kind of person is Gangcun, that is the only god of war in the eight years of the Anti-Japanese War who can make the ** Eighth Route Army and the National Government suffer big losses in North China, he will be afraid of the more than 200,000 people in the Inner Mongolia Military Region, obviously not, this can only show that the little devil has a big operation, and it is a huge and shocking plan.

Han Yunhua carefully combed it through, and thought about it around 41 years when the Japanese army didn't seem to have any big moves, originally the Japanese army did a Pearl Harbor incident in 41 years, but this incident happened as early as a year ago, Han Yunhua thought about it and didn't think about what the little devil wanted to do.

However, Han Yunhua is not discouraged if he can't figure it out, this is a good thing for Han Yunhua and the entire Inner Mongolia Military Region for the Japanese to retreat, and it is not necessarily a good thing to really force Okamura Ningji and the Inner Mongolia Military Region to work hard, Okamura Ningji's strategic command level is not comparable to that of ordinary Japanese officers, and since Okamura Ningji arrived in Shandong to take charge of the North China Front Army, Han Yunhua has deeply felt tremendous pressure. Why do you say that, not to mention anything else, the guerrillas in Shandong were extremely active before the arrival of Okamura Ningji, and there were often astonishing moves to fight devils and pull out strongholds, and to rob trains on railways, and the results continued, and the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army were extremely prosperous in the whole Shandong region from south to Lunan and then to Luxi in central Shandong, and the traitors and puppet armies of all sizes did not dare to move when they saw the guerrillas.

However, since Okamura Ninji took office, the Japanese army was not busy dealing with Han Yunhua's subordinates, and even did not pay attention to the newly established Sulu Theater, but concentrated its forces to launch a brutal sweep against the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army in Shandong, and even more shamelessly sent special forces to constantly sneak attack the well-known guerrillas. Not to mention that the small group of guerrillas struggled to survive, even the Shandong instructors led by Wang Weizhou had to temporarily withdraw from Shandong. This is Okamura Ningji's power, now after more than half a year of rectification and sweeping, the strength of the anti-Japanese armed forces in Shandong has dropped to a freezing point, so Han Yunhua has to take action, otherwise the entire Shandong will be operated by Okamura Ningji into an iron bucket within a year or two, and it will not be easy to make a move at that time.

Fortunately, Han Yunhua made up his mind to fight Texas this time, otherwise he really didn't find the abnormality of the little devil, although he still didn't know what the devil wanted to do, but at least Han Yunhua had begun to order the whole military region to enter a state of first-level alert, and the villages and towns near Shandong began to be consciously merged, and the villagers in the weakly defended areas were even collectively relocated to the nearby county town to prevent unnecessary losses.

Time flies quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it has come to October 25, and the troops of the Inner Mongolia Military Region have been fighting in northwest Shandong for more than a month, and the current situation in northwest Shandong is very complicated, and the most powerful Japanese puppet army has become the Eighth Route Army under Han Yunhua. The Japanese army was compressed in several large cities and more than a dozen county towns such as Dezhou, Leling, and Linqing, while Han Yunhua ordered the troops not to attack the county towns heavily guarded by the Japanese army at will, but only to occupy the vast rural areas, because according to the experience gained in the previous war, the Japanese army had already deployed heavy troops in all the county towns along the railway line from Dezhou to Jinan, and there were ironclad vehicles patrolling along the line, and it was difficult for the troops to make progress.

Not long ago, the 3rd Brigade and 3rd Regiment of the 300th Division carried out a surprise attack on a Japanese station in Pingyuan County, but was stubbornly resisted by the heavy Japanese troops, and the Japanese army took advantage of the favorable terrain and strong fortifications to inflict huge losses on the 3rd Brigade and 3rd Regiment, and with the support of the Japanese army's aerial aircraft and ground artillery, the 3rd Brigade and 3rd Regiment had to retreat after a day and a night of fierce attack, and the whole regiment suffered more than one-third of the casualties, while the Japanese army stationed at that station only had an infantry brigade.

This incident reminded Yang Chengwu and Han Yunhua that if the Japanese army did not attack, it would not attack, but it did not mean that the Japanese army had reached the point of defeat, on the contrary, the Japanese army was now just retracting its fists, in order to be more powerful when it came out again. The Japanese army used strong fortifications and powerful terrain to inflict at least 20,000 casualties on the Inner Mongolia Military Region in just one month, although the losses of the Japanese puppet army were equally huge, almost all the rural towns in the entire northwest of Shandong were lost, and the few large cities left behind were also in danger, if the North China Front Command did not come up with a new response plan in a short period of time, the loss of northwest Lu was almost only a matter of time, but this was already the best command level that the North China Front Army could do in order to preserve the overall situation. It's hard to get to that level.

After receiving Han Yunhua's instructions, the Inner Mongolia Military Region began to encircle Dezhou and other places without fighting, but instead used its heart for the vast rural areas; with the requirements and support of the troops, all counties in northwestern Shandong established people's political power in a very short period of time, and also formed their own armed forces; in order to support and guide the anti-Japanese situation in northwest Shandong, Han Yunhua submitted to the party Central Committee the establishment of the Shandong Military Region and the Shandong Sub-Bureau.

In fact, as early as the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the Party Central Committee had set up a Shandong branch in Shandong, but in 1938, the Shandong branch suffered a major setback and had to withdraw to southern Hebei to recuperate, and then the central government sent Han Yunhua to lead more than 1,000 people into Shandong to guide the anti-Japanese war work in Shandong. However, Han Yunhua's continuous attacks in Shandong directly angered the Japanese army, and Lieutenant General Ogaka Kamezo, who was the commander of the 12th Army of the Japanese Army, suddenly dispatched 50,000 troops to besiege Luxi, and Han Yunhua's department had to withdraw from Luxi ...
