Chapter 264: The Second Battle of Saibei: Spy War Deal (4)

Han Yunhua also knew that the situation was urgent now and it was not suitable to explain to the soldiers, so he said hello to Li Dingguo and the others on the side of the ship and commanded the big freighter to rush to the shore. After docking, Han Yunhua immediately ordered Wei Peng and others to unload and load the truck, and ordered the soldiers to be sure to load and transport the materials away before the arrival of the Japanese warships.

The Japanese warships arrived much earlier than Han Yunhua expected, but fortunately, the cargo on board was packed in large wooden boxes, and it was easy to load and unload. It took more than 900 soldiers more than an hour to unload all the cargo on the ship, and Han Yunhua was originally going to unload the anti-aircraft machine guns equipped on the ship and several heavy machine guns installed on the deck. But at this time, the special combat team members in charge of the vigilance fired warning shots, reporting that the Japanese warship had arrived.

Han Yunhua raised the binoculars and looked at it, and a white sweat suddenly appeared on his back. I saw that more than 20 lights appeared in the place where the water and the sky met. It looks so conspicuous in the dark night. Although it is not known which fleet of the Japanese army is and what the maximum tonnage is. But Han Yunhua also knew that the quality of the Japanese navy was far from being able to compete with this big freighter, and he had reason to believe that in front of the Japanese navy, which ranked third in the world and ranked first in Asia, Richie? Perling's large freighter, which had been carefully modified by the German Ministry of Defense, could not escape even 500 nautical miles before it was overtaken by the Japanese navy.

Han Yunhua is very aware of the strength of the Japanese Navy, and even if the United States will not dare to ignore Japan's voice in this era, even if it will make trouble all over the world in later generations. This is not to say how powerful the Japanese Army is, in fact, the Japanese Army is a piece of scum in the eyes of Western countries, and it is not worth mentioning. The reason why Japan became the first country in Asian history to have overseas colonies was that it relied on its navy to maneuver among many Western powers. It can be said that the essence of Japan's armed forces lies in the navy rather than in the army, and at the Imperial Council at the end of each year, a great drama is always staged in which the navy and army compete for military spending, but without exception the navy wins. Moreover, what made the Japanese army generals most dissatisfied was that the number of the navy was far less than that of the army, but the navy's military budget was much higher than that of the army, and at the same time, the navy's treatment from the commander of the navy to the inferior soldiers was higher than that of the army. At this time, the Japanese Navy was almost rampant in the Asia-Pacific region, and if he was not very sure, Han Yunhua would not dare to hold the beard of the Japanese Navy, otherwise it would be no different from looking for death.

In addition, the vast majority of the Japanese navy ships are now equipped with heavy tower guns, the smallest caliber is also 150mm heavy artillery, and usually 240mm heavy howitzers and other heavy firepower, although now Han Yunhua and others are still a considerable distance from the Japanese Navy, but with the range of naval heavy artillery, Han Yunhua and others are still within the attack range of the Japanese Navy.

At that moment, Han Yunhua did not dare to slack off, and ordered the soldiers to retreat quickly. Fortunately, due to the narrow terrain of the Dapu River Estuary, it simply cannot accommodate so many cars. So Han Yunhua ordered the transport team to fill up one and leave one, so now there are only more than ten vehicles left on the shore. Even if Han Yunhua left, he couldn't let the big freighter cheap dog day, and asked loudly: "Kong Yang, is the explosives safe, and have the troops withdrawn?" ”

"Report to the commander, we are the last batch of weapons and equipment, and our soldiers and those Germans have left, and the freighter has also installed explosives in it, as long as there are Japanese on board, the explosives will explode, you can rest assured" Kong Yang replied seriously, he knew what the commander was thinking.

"Leave a combat squad and a radio station to monitor these 20 or so warships nearby, and report any situation immediately. After speaking, Han Yunhua strode into a car and walked away.

In the past few days since Han Yunhua arrived in eastern Hebei, the war situation in northern China has undergone tremendous changes. First of all, the Eighth Route Army in southern Hebei finally broke out of the encirclement after the main force of the Japanese army was transferred north, but the 129th Division in this battle can be described as a great injury, as the main force of the anti-sweeping in southern Hebei, the 386 Brigade was almost disabled, and the casualties of the two main regiments reached more than 3,800 people, and the casualty rate was as high as 81%, according to Western practice, the 386 Brigade has been disabled. Coupled with the casualties of other troops, the 129th Division was completely annihilated by the Japanese this time, with four battalions and three independent companies, in addition to three regiments and 11 battalions being attacked to varying degrees, with a total casualty of more than 8,000 people, accounting for a quarter of the total strength of the 129th Division. ,

Secondly, the 5th Division of the Japanese Army, which was besieging the northern part of Shanxi and Jizhong, stopped its attack and began to shrink its forces step by step, and the battlefield on the southern front of the Inner Mongolia Military Region stopped at the line of Yanggao and Yuantianzhen. According to the report of the investigators of the intelligence department, the North China Front of the Japanese army transferred a large number of troops from the battlefields of southern Hebei, central Hebei, and northern Shanxi, and because the Japanese army's counter-espionage efforts were relatively strong during this period, both the intelligence department of the Inner Mongolia Military Region and the branch of the Military Command Bureau of the Nationalist Government in Beiping were seriously damaged by the Japanese army. At the same time as the Japanese army withdrew, two of the three intelligence stations that Qian Zhuangfei carefully operated in Beiping that were not subordinate to each other were destroyed, and 41 excellent intelligence officers were lost, including four elites trained by Han Yunhua himself. At the same time, the Beiping War of the Military Command Bureau of the Nationalist Government was also attacked by the Japanese Special High-tech Branch, and the stationmaster Mao Renfeng was seriously injured, and the entire Beiping Station was devastated. The reason why the Japanese army was able to reconnoiter the intelligence departments of China's major forces in such a short period of time was entirely because the Japanese army specially imported a batch of extremely advanced telecommunications reconnaissance vehicles from abroad in order to deal with the "increasingly rampant" Chinese spies. That night, the Japanese North China Front secretly unified the telegram and ordered all units in Beiping City to enter a state of radio silence. At the same time, dozens of telecommunications reconnaissance vehicles were quickly dispatched, and the gendarmerie and the intelligence personnel of the special high-tech department also fully cooperated, and as soon as the telecommunications vehicles detected the electronic signals, the personnel of the gendarmerie and the special high-tech department immediately carried out a large-scale search of the area. Soon, the intelligence agencies of the major Chinese powers in Beiping were destroyed by the Japanese army almost indiscriminately. Therefore, Han Yunhua knew nothing about the movements of the Japanese army after that, as did the bigwigs of the Nationalist Government and the Jin Suijun.

However, Han Yunhua faintly felt that the Japanese army was so mobilizing the army, it must be a big action. At this time, the biggest enemy of the North China Front Army was the Eighth Route Army, that is, the Inner Mongolia Military Region, so it was likely that the Japanese army was coming at the Eighth Route Army.

Han Yunhua considered that the war in southern and central Hebei and northern Jin was a foregone conclusion, and the Japanese army had no way to take Han Yunhua's troops in a short period of time. If the Japanese army has a big move, it can only target this area in eastern Hebei, and now the remnants of the second division of the Japanese army are still under siege by Han Yunhua's department, Han Yunhua expected that General Binshan Yuan would not have the courage to dare to put Yasui Toji and others to death and be indifferent. Moreover, the importance of the eastern Hebei region to the Japanese army is self-evident, you must know that after the Saibei region was occupied by Han Yunhua's department, eastern Hebei has become the only channel for internal and external communication. If eastern Hebei was also captured, the Kwantung Army would have completely lost land contact with the Japanese army's troops in various domestic theaters. Not to mention that General Binshan Yuan did not dare to take the risk, even the actual ruler of the base camp, Xianyuan Gong Zairen, did not dare to take the risk, so the chaos in eastern Hebei The Japanese army must send heavy troops to solve it.

Obviously, Han Yunhua also expected that the Japanese army would not give up on eastern Hebei lightly, but his purpose was not to occupy the entire territory of eastern Hebei, you must know that boiling frogs in warm water is the royal way, and gradual encroachment is much smaller than the resistance encountered by snakes swallowing elephants. Therefore, the purpose of Han Yunhua's operation this time was to occupy a vast area west of Chengde, including Chengde City, and now the northern front troops led by Master Chen had reached Qinglong County, and the armored troops led by Li Dayong had reached Qian'an.

The marching speed of the troops was faster than Han Yunhua imagined, and the occupied area was several counties larger than Han Yunhua imagined. Han Yunhua knew that there were not many troops in the military region in eastern Hebei, and it was easy to tear his crotch when his steps were too big, so he immediately ordered Master Chen and Li Dayong to stop advancing, build fortifications on the spot, and the mechanized brigade immediately returned to Chengde to assist Ye Baoguo in eliminating the remnants of the Second Division in the encirclement. At the same time, the people of eastern Hebei were vigorously mobilized to move to the Chengde area before the arrival of the Japanese army to fill the blank area in eastern Hebei.

Since Han Yunhua knew that after the Japanese army discovered the failure of the conspiracy of Tegaoke, they would definitely send planes to reconnoiter along the way, and now it was only five or six hours before dawn, so Han Yunhua ordered the convoy to rush to Qian'an as quickly as possible to rendezvous with Li Dayong's unit. Along the way, the car drove like a lightning speed on the dirt road in eastern Hebei, and Han Yunhua was about to fall apart.

Half an hour before dawn, Han Yunhua's convoy finally entered Qian'an City. Han Yunhua knew very well that with the personality of the Japanese army, he would definitely not give up after learning that all the special high-tech intelligence personnel led by Yoshiko Kawashima had been killed, and Qian'an City would definitely be bombed by the Japanese army today. Therefore, Han Yunhua left the convoy out of the city less than ten minutes after entering the city, and hid the convoy in the mountains and forests outside the city. Sure enough, as soon as Han Yunhua and the others hid the convoy, the Japanese planes came. Immediately, a sharp alarm sounded in Qian'an City, and the air defense units of Qian'an also urgently entered the position, and the main forces of the Eighth Brigade and the Artillery Brigade all hid outside the city under Han Yunhua's orders. Retaliation by the Japanese army was often frenzied, although there were no kamikaze teams formed at the end of World War II when the Japanese were at their wit's end, and there were very few suicide attacks on Japanese air units in airplanes. However, with the frenziness of the Japanese army, Han Yunhua had absolutely reason to believe that the Japanese army would bomb several county towns in eastern Hebei occupied by the Inner Mongolia Military Region into ruins within a few hours.
