Chapter 110: Great Changes in Eastern Hebei I

Han Yunhua was very satisfied with the attack of the Second Brigade and other units of the assault brigade, and now the commander of the Inner Mongolia Military Region and the ordinary soldiers knew that the battle situation was very unfavorable to the military region, and if they did not fight well this time, not only would their beloved commander be in trouble, but even the millions of ordinary people in the base areas behind them would be tragically ravaged by the Japanese army

During this period of time after marching into eastern Hebei, they have seen too many tragedies of slaughtering villages and exterminating the clan, so every soldier is holding back a breath of anger in his heart, so when attacking, the combat effectiveness of the troops has increased exponentially, whether it is Xia Chicheng or Zhanfengning, the troops of the Inner Mongolia Military Region have shown a momentum of looking at death as home, and it is by virtue of this momentum that they inadvertently created a miracle in the history of Chinese warfare

Since the march into eastern Hebei, the Inner Mongolia Military Region has successively captured Chicheng County, Fengning County, Guyuan County, and Weichang County in a short period of four days

The Japanese army on the opposite side is the most combat-effective devil that Han Yunhua's troops have encountered since they marched into eastern Hebei, and with the light emitted by the artillery fire, Han Yunhua saw from the captured high-powered military binoculars that the Japanese army on the opposite side has done a good job in arranging troops and the civil engineering of the position, which shows that the command level of the Japanese commander on the opposite side is very high, but Han Yunhua also saw that the combat quality of the ordinary soldiers of the devil on the opposite side is indeed not very good, and it is a miracle that it can be supported until now

From the intelligence, I learned that the only brigade-level military unit in the eastern Hebei region is now the Chengde Garrison Brigade under the North China Front, although Han Yunhua is familiar with history, but he has no influence on this Junichi Hiraizumi, originally thought that this Junichi Hiraizumi level is average, so he was unknown in the history of the Anti-Japanese War

Seeing that the war has been in a stalemate, Han Yunhua is also a little anxious, there is nothing on his side, but Yang Ruihua's side is a little unbearable now, since last night until now, the Japanese army Gu Shoufu has launched a heavy artillery wing under the jurisdiction of the Sixth Division against Jining City, which is continuously pouring steel shells on the positions of the defenders of Jining City, causing extremely heavy casualties to the troops defending the city

In less than 30 hours, more than 20,000 troops under Yang Ruihua's command were reduced by more than 4,000 people, accounting for almost one-fifth of Yang Ruihua's total strength, and what frightened Yang Ruihua the most was that the Japanese army used poison gas on Jining City in one day, and the troops defending the city had already prepared nothing, but the people stranded in the city and the tens of thousands of victims from Henan were not so lucky, and countless ordinary people died under the poison gas of the Japanese army

According to Gu Shoufu's level of attack, it will not take long for the Japanese army to break through the outer positions of Jining City, but the casualties of the Japanese army are not small, according to the observation of the forward position, the number of the troops attacking the Sixth Division has changed to four in one day, and the casualties of Gu Shoufu's department are at least more than 3,000 people

However, now the Japanese army has a great cause, and it is not at all comparable to the Inner Mongolia Military Region, and the loss of 100,000 Japanese troops can only make the base camp hurt for a while, but if the Inner Mongolia Military Region loses 100,000 people, then the Inner Mongolia Military Region will become history, so when the Japanese army's attack slows down slightly, Yang Ruihua hurriedly sent a telegram to Han Yunhua to report the battle situation in Jining City to Han Yunhua

After receiving Yang Ruihua's telegram, Han Yunhua knew that Shouichi Terauchi was forced to be anxious by himself, and now it was the most critical juncture of the competition between the two sides, and whoever persisted longer than who would become the final winner

Han Yunhua handed the telegram in his hand to the guard on the side, picked up the pencil on the folding table, lightly compared it on the military map spread on the table, and ordered the operator behind him: "Send a telegram to Wan Guoquan, order the other regiments of the Second Assault Brigade to attack, before 12 o'clock, the Second Assault Brigade must take down the blue flag of the west gate of Longhua After taking the blue flag, the soldiers of the Second Assault Brigade divided into two routes to complete the encirclement of the Japanese troops in Taipingzhuang and Fengshan, Finally, together with the Second Independent Supplementary Corps, Yu Longhua County ordered the 1st and 2nd Cavalry Brigades to move south, detour to the south line of the Rehe River, and directly attack the Han Ma Battalion between Longhua and Chengde, and order the fire support regiment, engineer regiment, and saber special operations brigade to attack Chengde".

At first, Han Yunhua took into account the casualties of the troops, so he only allowed an infantry regiment to be arranged in front of the Japanese army's defensive position, so a large number of troops were concentrated on the line from Longhua to Luanping After Han Yunhua's attack order was issued, the second assault brigade, the first supplementary corps, and the independent second supplementary corps put an infantry regiment in the forward positions of their respective attacks

Suddenly, Major General Junichi Hiraizumi felt the pressure doubled, and half an hour later, the Blue Flag defense line was defeated by the army, and the wing that defended the position only escaped back with less than 1,000 people, and a full 2,500 people were annihilated by the Chinese army

On July 9th, it was not a good day for Terauchi Shouyi and Han Yunhua, in the early morning of the 9th, Han Yunhua led all the troops to complete the siege of Longhua City, and randomly carried out a certain tentative attack on Longhua City, at the same time, the two cavalry brigades stationed on the periphery of the paddock also began to move south, and they could reach Han Ma's camp in a day and a half at most, and the Saber Special Operations Brigade had also reached the periphery of Chengde, and could launch an attack on Chengde at any time

Originally, the war had begun to develop in the direction of favoring the army, but a telegram from the Daqingshan headquarters completely ignited Han Yunhua's anger at a quarter past two in the morning of the 9th, Guo Weidong, who stayed at the headquarters of the military region, sent a telegram saying that an hour ago, the Daqingshan headquarters was attacked by a small Japanese army, and a guard battalion and a security regiment temporarily transferred to the headquarters were defeated by the devils, with more than 1,500 dead and wounded. In addition to the well-defended arsenal, the military facilities that Han Yunhua led the soldiers to build for a year on Daqing Mountain are now in a mess, and what makes Han Yunhua angry the most is that Yuhan is missing

According to Guo Weidong's call, because the Japanese vanguard has entered the territory of Xinghe County during this time, the base area has entered a state of high alert, and there has been a battalion of troops patrolling every night, and the light and dark posts are all over Daqingshan, but those devils seem to be very clear about the layout of Daqingshan, especially the defense force of Daqingshan is not bad at all, so when the devils attacked the mountain, most of the soldiers did not notice until all the patrols and sentry posts were touched by the devils unconsciouslyWhen the devil was secretly slaughtering the people on the mountain and the soldiers in the barracks, he was discovered by Li Yuhan's guards Although Wang Wenshan, the head of the security regiment at that time, quickly organized a counterattack, it was too late at that time, and the continuous explosions had blown the entire Daqing Mountain into ruins

In this battle, the headquarters of Daqingshan was almost destroyed, all ground facilities were destroyed, and the soldiers suffered casualties of nearly three integrated battalions, of which the absolute loss was 1,358 people, accounting for 89% of all losses, and at the same time, more than 5,000 ordinary people were brutally killed or blown up by the devils, and the wounded were countless, and Li Yuhan, who was on the mountain at the time, also mysteriously disappeared, and at the same time, Han Yunhua's guards assigned to Li Yuhan were missing. At present, Guo Weidong has returned to Daqingshan from Xinghe County to preside over the reconstruction of the headquarters and the treatment of the wounded
