Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Devil Is Coming
In order to strengthen the firepower of the two regiments, Li Han also left the artillery battalion in Duolun, and if there was a battle during his absence, the troops were under the unified command of Deputy Brigade Commander Shi Shi'an, assisted by Gao Jian and Wang Dazhu.

Although the "Tanggu Agreement" signed between the Nationalist Government and the devils stipulated that the Japanese army could freely enter the Chadong area, Li Han resolutely did not intend to abide by this article.
After the deployment, Li Han led the troops directly under the brigade headquarters to kill the Mongolian banners, and there were more than 2,000 troops directly under the brigade headquarters.
Among them, the preparation of the reconnaissance battalion was the most luxurious, with more than 800 people in the battalion, all of whom were traveling by car or motorcycle, and even the two armored vehicles that captured the devil were also equipped by Li Han to the reconnaissance battalion.
Therefore, in this expedition against the various unsatisfied tribes of Mongolia, the reconnaissance battalion has always been the vanguard of the whole battalion.
The blue flag, the white flag, and the Taibu Temple flag are the closest to Duolun, and they have long been subdued by Li Han. Li Han has also set up a cavalry battalion of 500 people in the Three Banners, but the guns used by the cavalry are all 38 big covers, and there are no special cavalry guns.
The commander of the cavalry battalion is Sun Dabiao, the company commander of the former cavalry company, but this cavalry has just been formed, and its combat effectiveness needs to be improved.
Fortunately, the cavalry soldiers are all Mongolian men, and there is no equestrian skills, so it can be said that the biggest obstacle to forming cavalry is gone, as long as you conduct a few more tactical trainings, and then pull out to fight a few battles.
This time he went out to several other tribes, Li Han did not let these cavalry accompany him, and it was enough to have a team directly under the brigade headquarters. The cavalry was used by Li Han to prepare against the devils.
After starting from Duolun, the troops continued to the northwest, passing through Baochang, Kangbao County, and Huade County until the Yellow Flag was inlaid.
The yellow flag is also one of the three banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, with more than 100,000 men, women and children, which is considered a relatively large number of banners among the Mongolian tribes.
Once the yellow flag is done, then the entire Chahar should not have any problems except for a few flags close to the Xilin Gol League.
And because it is the reason for the three flags, there is no prince in the yellow flag, which means that there is no unified leader, and it is relatively easy to deal with.
"Patriarch! It's a big deal, Li Han is here again! ”
In the past few days, the Mongolian flags have said this sentence the most, and now the banner owners, patriarchs, and princes of the Mongolian flags have a headache when they hear this sentence.
It is said that since Chahar came to this Han man named Li Han, their hard life began.
The leaders of the banners also wondered: their Japanese friendly soldiers were about to overwhelm the border, and Li Han was not in Duolun to prepare for the Japanese army, so why did he always come to the grassland to make trouble for us.
Those herdsmen and Li Han are not related, why do they have to let themselves give their pastures to those lowly herdsmen.
Besides, the treatment of the herdsmen in various banners is much better than that of the ancestors hundreds of years ago, and I don't see that every herdsman is alive and well, the male is stronger than the ox, and the female is more beautiful than the water.
Moreover, these pastures are the property of the two left by the ancestors, which is considered their private property, and they have been passed down like this for thousands of years, and even Chairman Jiang, the head of the National Government, does not care, Li Han is just a brigade commander, is he so active, isn't this salty and radish lightly worried.
The Mongolian princes originally thought that the Japanese were now free, and Li Han was just a grasshopper after the autumn, and he couldn't jump for long, and his hard life could be regarded as coming out.
Unexpectedly, this Li Han is simply a madman, he is not happy, and he has to pull others on his back.
Fortunately, the Japanese army stationed in Chahar was already unstoppable, and they only needed to show weakness to Li Han for the time being, and when the Japanese army arrived, it would be Li Han's death.
So when Li Han led the army to the various departments of the Yellow Banner, those banner owners and patriarchs either ran to Outer Mongolia or went to Rehe for refuge.
Some of them really couldn't leave, so they simply accepted all of Li Han's conditions, took the thousands of oceans lost money that Li Han gave them, and at Li Han's request, in front of all the Luo tribesmen, gave all the pastures to the herdsmen.
Looking at the banner owners who were mourning, Li Han didn't have any pity in his heart, he thought that he was polite enough to these Mongolian nobles.
Not only did they not disband their personal guards, confiscate their family property, but also gave these people a subsidy of several thousand oceans. Even considering that there were many servants who were loyal to them, the pasture left to them by Li Han was also the largest among all the herdsmen.
Of course, these oceans were captured by Li Han from the major special regions of Mongolia, and they can be regarded as wool from sheep. Otherwise, Li Han is not so generous, each banner owner initiates thousands of oceans, and he is not a rich man.
On the contrary, in order to get money, Li Han can even rob the Japanese bank, how can he send money to these Mongolian gentlemen regardless of the cost.
After the white flag surrendered, Li Han successively visited the three banners of the right wing of Xiachahar, the front, middle and rear, and the owners of the three banners expressed their great welcome to Li Han's visit, and happily distributed the pasture to the herdsmen of the tribe, and set up more than a dozen tables of Menghan to entertain Li Han.
Li Han was also very happy when he saw that these flag owners were so good, it seems that I, Li Han, am not so unpopular, of course, what these flag owners think in their hearts, it is not within their own consideration.
Moreover, at this time, the Japanese army had already begun to march towards Duolun, and fighting devils was Li Han's top priority, and beating these Mongolian princes and banner owners was just to make them quiet in the rear and not to think about making trouble for themselves.
Before the signing of the Tanggu Agreement, the Japanese army began to prepare to march on Chahar, and their ultimate goal was to take the entire Mongolian region, and then use the Mongol king to establish a puppet regime like the puppet Manchukuo.
Originally, Duolun and Guyuan should have been taken by the Japanese a long time ago, but because of Li Han's stumbling block, they not only failed to successfully occupy Guyuan and Duolun, but lost nearly a brigade of troops.
At that time, the main force of the Japanese army was on the battlefield of the Great Wall, and they could not take care of Li Han, a troublemaker, for the time being, but now they have defeated the Chinese defenders along the Great Wall and won the victory on the battlefield of the Great Wall.
At present, the central government of the Republic of China has begun to sue for peace with the Japanese Empire, and it is time to eliminate the incomprehensible Chinese army entrenched in Duolun.
In the ranks of the Japanese Kwantung Army, the one who has the deepest resentment against Li Han is, of course, Seiichi Yamashita Saku, and there is no impermeable wall in the world.
During the week that Seiichi Yamashita had his bank stolen, he conducted a large-scale investigation of the entire Chengde City and surrounding areas.
Soon they found the car that Li Han used to confuse them, and then they followed the vine, and finally determined that several military vehicles suspected of being the imperial army drove into Fengning County, and they didn't have to think that Li Han's people must have done it.
After learning the news, Yamashita Seiichi was eager to immediately lead his troops into Fengning County. However, at this time, the accountability from the Kwantung Army Command arrived, and in order to keep their positions, the Yamashita family donated at least half of their property to their superiors this time.
As a family that once rose to prominence during the Meiji Emperor's reign, this is the time for the Yamashita family to regress to the level it was a few decades ago.
Fortunately, he finally retained the position of the captain of Seiichi Yamashita Wing, and in his opinion, as long as he did not lose his military power, no matter how much wealth he lost, he could take it back from the Shina people.
Of course, for the culprit who caused the Yamashita family to suffer a heavy blow, Yamashita Seiichi will not let go no matter what.
Therefore, this time he took the initiative to ask the brigade commander Inoue for a request for his independent 23rd Wing to attack Duolun and Guyuan.
Considering that the Yamashita Wing has not yet been fully staffed, Inoue originally planned to let the independent 24th Wing eliminate Li Hanbu this time.
Moreover, he also received news that Li Han's army had recently been expanded and had purchased a batch of weapons and equipment from German arms dealers, and he was worried that he would not be able to take Li Han with the current strength of the 23rd Wing.
Now that the Battle of the Great Wall has just ended, the Japanese army staring at Chahar is not just a mixed unit of the 46th Brigade, and their opportunity to get this assist is also the reason for their geographical advantage. Inoue didn't want this opportunity to attack Chahar to be wasted by Seiichi Yamashita.
But because Yamashita Seiichi asked again and again, and he also stuffed himself with a lot of benefit fees, in the end, it was based on the love of everyone who had worked together for many years, and Inoue agreed to Yamashita Seiichi's request once.
Although Yamashita Makoto repeatedly patted his chest and assured Inoue that he was too careless before, now he has learned the lesson of last time, and this time he will definitely annihilate the Li Han Department of China and take the important town of Duolun in Chadong.
But Inoue still didn't dare to fully believe Seiichi Yamashita once, because he already had the stain of defeat. In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, Inoue still transferred the 24th Wing that had just been stationed in Chifeng over one time.
Then, with the 23rd Wing as the vanguard, the 24th Wing and the brigade headquarters acted together, and the entire 46th Brigade and more than 7,000 people slaughtered Chahar in a mighty manner.
As the vanguard officer, Yamashita Osa, urged the troops not to dismount, and rushed to Duolun County non-stop, leaving the brigade headquarters and the 24th Wing far behind.
Seiichi Yamashita, who was anxious to be ashamed, even ignored the ceasefire agreement just reached between China and Japan, and couldn't wait to start attacking Duolun.
Guarding Duolun was the 14th Regiment of the 145th Brigade, as well as the artillery battalion of the brigade headquarters, as well as Li Han who had just rushed back and more than 5,800 troops directly under the brigade headquarters.
The 23rd Wing had less than 3,000 men, and in terms of artillery, there was only one mountain artillery squadron that had just been recently replenished by the Kwantung Army, and the infantry artillery squadron had not yet been replenished due to the last loss.
Before the arrival of the Japanese army, Duolun County had long been ready for battle, and there were more than 6,000 people guarding the county seat on its side.
And in terms of equipment, it is not weaker than the Japanese army, and even much stronger, no matter how you look at it, Li Han feels that there is no reason for the whole army to stay in the county town and wait for the devils to fight. (To be continued.) )
