The matter of forming a local security regiment is not as complicated as Shen Yuquan and others imagined, Han Yunhua has made a decision on the defense of the base area a long time ago, so each county under the jurisdiction of the Inner Mongolia Military Region has its own county brigade and district squadron, although this county brigade is only a battalion-level unit, but Han Yunhua has also put a lot of effort into the local troops. The county brigades of other units of the Eighth Route Army can only be a supplement to the regular troops, and at most they can pack up the puppet army traitors and plainclothes teams and fight against the regular field units of the Japanese army, which is simply a joke. But the local troops that Han Yunhua wants to form now are not just used to clean up the traitors of the guards, what he wants to form is an elite force that can compete with the devil's field troops. And this elite army must use all the locals, and only those who are full of affection for this land can defend their hometown wholeheartedly when the main force of Han Yunhua's department goes out to fight.

Although this is not an easy task, both in terms of the quality of personnel and the degree of training, the local troops are incomparable with the regular field troops, and besides, the Inner Mongolia Military Region is now seriously short of labor, and if the military region organizes 17 infantry regiments from among the already insufficient men, it is very likely that part of the fertile land under the jurisdiction of the Inner Mongolia Military Region will be turned into wasteland in the coming year.

However, Han Yunhua has already taken these difficulties into account, and during this period of time, the anti-Japanese resistance across the country has risen one after another, and the Kuomintang and the Communist Party have also worked together to achieve good results in many battlefields, giving the Japanese army a heavy blow. The situation of the development of the Inner Mongolia Military Region has attracted the attention of the people of the whole country, and the strong combat effectiveness displayed by Han Yunhua's unit has made many homeless refugees see the hope of stability, and many refugees come to the jurisdiction of the Inner Mongolia Military Region from various places almost every day. Therefore, Han Yunhua believes that the shortage of labor is only temporary, and as long as the military region has enough food and labor positions, it will not be a problem to have as many people as it wants.

However, this year's sowing was carried out by the Japanese army, and more than half of the crops were destroyed, so although the wind and rain were good in the northern part of the country this year, the harvest of the peasants was very limited, and even half of the previous year was insufficient. Fortunately, Han Yunhua ordered all taxes to be exempted, but only a small part of the grain was levied with those landlords, so the food and clothing of the people in the northern part of the country was not a problem for the time being.

Although Political Commissar Zuo, Shen Yuquan, and others did not understand Han Yunhua's practice of raising grain everywhere instead of holding on to a large amount of garrison grain, they knew that Han Yunhua must have his reasons for doing so.

Although the Japanese army did not dare to launch a new offensive against Han Yunhua's headquarters, it carried out a strict economic blockade of the northern Saibei region. Under these circumstances, if the Inner Mongolia Military Region wants to make great progress, it must strengthen its armed forces, and at the same time, it must also make preparations for a major war.

With Han Yunhua's strong order, almost all the people in the entire Inner Mongolia Military Region moved, especially in various county towns. Han Yunhua ordered the fifteen counties of Xinghe, Zhangbei, Kangbao, Shangdu, Huade, Zhuozishan, Chahar Right Wing Front Banner, Chahar Right Wing Middle Banner, Chahar Right Wing Rear Banner, Siziwang Banner, Fengzhen, Liangcheng, Tuzuo Banner, Qingshuihe County, and Tuoketuo County, as well as Jining and Daqingshan, which were the main places for this expansion. Han Yunhua ordered the responsible persons of each county to cooperate with the armed forces department to reorganize all county brigades and district squads in each county, with a local security regiment in each county, and each regiment has two infantry battalions, one cavalry battalion, one machine gun company, one engineer company, one mortar company, one guard company, and one communications platoon, with a total strength of 2,245 troops.

Han Yunhua ordered all counties to put up the shelves of the security regiment for the time being, and as for the lack of military cadres, weapons and ammunition, the military region allocated them. As for the most difficult source of troops, the commanders and political commissars of each regiment will solve them by themselves, and if they can't solve them, they will automatically leave the class.

Before you know it, the Spring Festival of 1939 is coming, and in the eyes of the Chinese, another year has passed, and many things have happened in this year, the most unforgettable thing is the recovery of the northern part of the country and the high-profile rise of Han Yunhua's department.

In 1939, Oppenheimer and Snyder predicted black holes in the United States. On top of that, World War II broke out in 1939.

The "Measures for Restricting Abnormal Activities" was adopted, and it was decided to establish a 'Committee for the Prevention of Communism'. Since then, the Kuomintang has shifted the focus of its policy from external to internal, and has formulated a set of specific policies for 'suppressing the Communist Party,' 'preventing the Communist Party,' 'restricting the Communist Party,' and '**'.

Han Yunhua carefully recalled what happened in the first half of 1939, although there were many things he didn't remember or changed due to his arrival, but Han Yunhua still knew that the general context of historical development had not changed much, just like Wang Jingwei still wanted to rebel, and Chiang Kai-shek was not all single-mindedly anti-Japanese, but there was a little error in time, so he had to remember these things clearly and make preparations as soon as possible. ,

Unfortunately, due to Han Yunhua's strong intervention, the entire Saibei region has undergone earth-shaking changes, so many things that have happened or will happen in history have undergone unpredictable deviations. What annoyed Han Yunhua the most was that his memory had dropped a lot, and many things that he remembered clearly when he crossed over had also become blurry.

However, Han Yunhua also knew that when he crossed over, he probably relived all the experiences of his previous life, so he would remember so many things clearly, and his memory was as strong as a demon. You must know that most of these things have already been sealed in the depths of his memory, and he doesn't remember them anymore. But after being reborn, he found that he remembered it clearly, as if he had just watched a movie, and even remembered the books he had read word for word. But during this time, he found that his memory seemed to be developing in a normal direction, and he would forget what he should forget.

Han Yunhua didn't know whether to cry or laugh, he vaguely realized that he should be undergoing an unknown mutation, or fusion. He has always felt that in fact, the real Han Yunhua's consciousness is not completely dead, and occasionally it will have a certain impact on him, just like the attitude towards Han Yunqian and Li Yuhan. But now he found that the underlying consciousness had less and less influence on him, and it was almost nothing.

Han Yunhua also knew that the record of what happened in 1939 in his memory was not comprehensive, and there were many things that he knew very little about, including in his previous life. What he knows is some of the more important things that happened in the first half of the year, and it is not very helpful for him now.
