After Han Yunhua motioned for Wang Jian and the others to sit down, he pointed to the map on the table and analyzed: "You see, now that we have taken Longhua County, although we have let some of the devils escape, but its main force has been annihilated by me, and the remnants are not enough to worry about. Moreover, the main passage to Chengde was occupied by our army, except for Gaositai, which was still in the hands of the devils. Li Dingguo's headquarters has now joined up with the Saber Special Operations Brigade, the defense problem of Chengde City has also been resolved, and the periphery of Chengde in eastern Hebei has become our sphere of influence. Besides, the devil's military strength in eastern Hebei is already very weak, plus the brigade that was annihilated by our army to its main force, it can be said that the devil's defense force in eastern Hebei has basically been destroyed by our army, and there are only three or two kittens left, even if Yin Rugeng's subordinates still have a puppet army known as two armies, but its actual combat effectiveness is very limited, so it is a dream for the devil to gather troops to eliminate our department in a short time. Speaking of this, Han Yunhua said with a little pride: "Comrades, this time our losses have exceeded the bottom line of some people in the party, and if we can't get considerable results, we will all be criticized." However, now it seems that the predetermined goal is basically about to be accomplished, as long as the commissar does not drop the chain, we will wait for the commendation telegram from the chairman and the commander-in-chief! ”

Wang Jian, commander of the 77th Brigade of Reading Force, said: "Commander, the matter has come to this point, even if some people in the party are unhappy, it doesn't matter if they have opinions about our military region. We are now attracting the vast majority of the forces of the North China Front, so we can't collapse, and of course they don't dare to let us fall. Commander, you still give orders, we will all listen to you, and you will fight wherever you say! ”

Han Yunhua said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "You have to remember for me, you are not my Han someone's army, and I am not the warlord rich man of the old days, and I can't afford to raise such a large family." You must always keep in mind that first of all, you are the army of the Chinese people and the people's soldiers, and you must always demand yourself as a soldier of the people and your responsibilities. Secondly, you are an army led by China, and you must be absolutely loyal to the party, and you must take it as your responsibility to protect the party and serve the country and serve the people. In the end, you are the troops of the Inner Mongolia Military Region under the jurisdiction of the Eighth Route Army, and you must obey the command of your superiors and kill the enemy on the battlefield to serve the country. ”

Han Yunhua's words shocked all the senior officers of the Inner Mongolia Military Region, for such a long time, Shen Yuquan, the number one leader in the political work of the Military Region, was the only one who looked forward to Han Yunhua. Therefore, these officers have also subconsciously weakened the ideological construction of the army, and they are still like these high-ranking officers, so one can imagine what the troops below will be.

Of course, Han Yunhua can see all this more clearly than anyone else, but now is not the time to emphasize ideological building, the thinking of the troops really needs to be strengthened, and the ideological level and political consciousness of the soldiers really need to be improved. However, at present, the greatest thing to do is how to resolve external contradictions. It's okay to mention it a little here, it's not beautiful to talk too much.

Then Han Yunhua spoke again: "Now our army has basically controlled the entire northern Hebei region, although it has not penetrated deep into central Hebei, it has not yet reached the predetermined combat goal. But we have taken the lead at the big strategic level, and no matter how fierce and ruthless the devil is, he can only be led by our nose. The net has been spread, and now it is time to close the net, and if the net is to be closed, then we will have a good harvest, and if the net is not good, then the results will not be as rich as imagined. ”

The commander of the Second Cavalry Brigade, Bart, is also a straight surname, and Han Yunhua said that he couldn't understand this, so the surname Suo asked out loud: "Commander, what to do, you can say it directly, Old Bart can't understand the crooked words of your Han people." ”

Barthes's words made a group of senior officers in the conference room laugh, and a few even laughed out loud.

Han Yunhua got up and said loudly: "Listen to my order, the first and second cavalry brigades will form an eastward cluster, and the headquarters will be temporarily under the command of Li Yunchang, secretary of the Jirebian Special Committee. The whole brigade of the 77th Brigade of Reading Li attacked from Chengde all the way to the east, and Chengde County, Kuancheng, and Pingquan were all within your attack range. The 1st Supplementary Corps and the Fire Support Regiment joined us in attacking Luanping County and threatening Beiping, where the headquarters of the North China Front Army was located. The Second Supplementary Corps, the Saber Special Combat Team, and the 1st Artillery Regiment formed a northward advance cluster and secretly attacked Chifeng on a covert march. The remaining engineer regiment, the second artillery regiment, the field heavy artillery regiment, and the advance detachment of the eastern Hebei anti-Japanese army stayed in Chengde. The 2nd Assault Brigade and the 1st Battalion of the Advance Detachment of the Eastern Hebei Anti-Japanese Detachment formed a southward advance cluster, quickly attacked Qianxi, Qian'an, Qinglong and other counties and cities, and finally joined forces with Secretary Li in Qinglong County......"

The order was issued very simply, of course, the execution was also very fast, the tens of thousands of troops gathered in Longhua City that night were gone, not even a small army left behind, and the power of a Longhua City in Nuoda was handed over to the local underground party to preside, anyway, all the underworld forces such as the Han annihilation hooligans were hit by Han Yunhua's destruction surname, and the rest couldn't make any big waves at all.

The reason why Han Yunhua arranged the combat tasks of the troops in this way was mainly to take into account the other Eighth Route Army units in the eastern Hebei region, especially the Fourth Column led by Deng Hua and Song Shilun. On the night of the siege of Chengde City, the underground party comrades affiliated with the Jirebian Special Committee found the Saber Special Combat Team, and Li Yunchang, secretary of the Jirebian Special Committee, hoped to meet with their chief, and later the Saber Special Operations Brigade escorted Li Yunchang to Longhua after consulting Han Yunhua.

Originally, Li Yunchang, secretary of the Jirebian Special Committee, was one level higher than Han Yunhua, the commander of the Military Region, but now Han Yunhua's department is the absolute main force of the Eighth Route Army's northern region, and it is a huge military force with a minimum of more than 80,000 people. Even if Yan'an is courteous to a general like Han Yunhua with heavy troops, he, the secretary of the Jirebian Special Committee, who only has a small amount of arms in his hands, can't even more dare to put on a stand in front of Han Yunhua. Moreover, before Li Yunchang came to Longhua, Deng Hua told him that he had met Han Yunhua, the commander of the Inner Mongolia Military Region, and from Deng Hua's mouth, Li Yunchang could hear Deng Hua's admiration for this commander who was not as old as him. That's right, it's worship. Even a veteran senior officer like Deng Hua admired this Han Yunhua, and Li Yunchang himself was full of expectations for this meeting with Han Yunhua.

Just when Yang Ruihua's headquarters and Gu Shoufu were stumbling, Li Yunchang and Han Yunhua met at the garrison headquarters in Longhua. To tell the truth, Han Yunhua was not familiar with Li Yunchang, even if Han Yunhua was familiar with history, he was also very unfamiliar with this secretary of the Jirebian Special Committee, he had only seen his name when he was looking through some historical materials, but he had only seen it, but he had never carefully checked about Li Yunchang's life. Even when Li Yunchang was in a high position in the republic, Han Yunhua had never carefully understood the father of the republic. However, a chance chance made him have a strong interest in this rough life star. It's nothing to talk about it, that is, the fourth month after Han Yunhua returned to China after graduating from the Special Operations Command Department of the Amazon International Military Academy just now, and Han Yunhua was supposed to be awarded the rank of major along with many elites in the military circles on that day. However, at short notice, the General Political Department ordered their elite to attend the memorial service of an old revolutionary.

Although these young republican officials are all pillars of the country carefully cultivated by the country, everyone is very uncomfortable when they encounter this kind of thing, and at the same time, everyone is very curious about this old-timer who can postpone the award of titles by the General Political Department. When everyone arrived at the memorial service venue, they knew that it was to see off Li Yunchang's seniors, but Han Yunhua didn't know anything about this old revolutionary who was said to be amazing, so after attending the memorial service, Han Yunhua rushed into the library to check the life deeds of this old-timer.

Therefore, Han Yunhua also has a certain understanding of Li Yunchang, but it is all obtained through some historical materials, and he cannot fully understand a person. Although it now seems that Han Yunhua's troops have a certain advantage on the surface, Han Yunhua is very worried that the millions of Kwantung Army stationed in Northeast China will send troops south when the war situation in eastern Hebei is stalemate, and at that time he will be flanked by the two armies, and the consequences will be worrying.
