Chapter 16: Zhan Yangyuan (2)

Han Yunhua was drooling while staring at the small county town of Yangyuan, but the international community had already made a fuss because of this war. After the Eighth Route Army headquarters was lively, Commander-in-Chief Zhu gave an order, and Han Yunhua's battle report to the headquarters was slightly revised and then forwarded to the Second Theater Headquarters, and in the name of the headquarters, he issued a general order to commend the Mengji Anti-Japanese Detachment.

After receiving the good news from the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, Yan Xishan looked at the movements of the army and the information sent by the intelligence department in the past two days, and finally believed the real surname of this good news. Yan Xishan, who was not in a good mood, suddenly let out a hearty laugh, startling the guards on duty outside the door. This period of time is simply Yan Xishan's bad luck, since the army attacked Shanxi in September, the second theater he was responsible for lost the city and lost the land, as if the army was defeated like a mountain and collapsed for a thousand miles, and the troops of the army that were defeated, disabled, captured and even surrendered voluntarily abounded, and some time ago they also lost the old nest Taiyuan City, and for a time the public opinion media at home and abroad and the general public were crusading against him, the commander of the second theater and the entire Jin Sui army headed by him. Yan Xishan, the prefect of the Second War Zone, who was being criticized by international and domestic public opinion for losing Taiyuan City, suddenly received such a great telegram that killed more than 3,500 devils, how could he not be overjoyed, if it was [***] or the battle fought by the Jin Sui army, it would be even more perfect. However, both the Eighth Route Army and the Kuomintang Central Army are troops of the Second Theater, and as long as the troops of the Second Theater win the battle, he, the commander of the Second Theater, is a beautiful man both in face and in appearance. Therefore, after receiving the battle report, Yan Xishan immediately publicized the achievements of the Mengji Anti-Japanese Detachment, rewarded the Mengji Anti-Japanese Detachment and sent a report to Yucheng to congratulate the victory.

In fact, during this period of time, Chairman Jiang and Yan Xishan were extremely unhappy, and the bad news came one after another, either this place was captured by the Yue army or that place was bombed by the Yue army, either this division was completely annihilated or that army was defeated by the Yue army, anyway, there was no good news. It's just that compared with Yan Xishan, a warlord in one province and one region, Chairman Chiang is a little deeper, and as China's nominal supreme leader, what Chairman Chiang has to consider is not the question of the gains and losses of one city or one place, but the strategic question of whether or not the country can be defeated. However, judging from the current situation, it may not be easy to win the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the vast coastal areas have basically all fallen, even the capital Nanjing has been lost, there are "boos" at home and abroad, and even the Americans, who have always been very optimistic about him, are now very dissatisfied with his performance. And Chairman Chiang, who has been worrying about the Nanjing incident in the past few days, is in an extremely bad mood. While the military conference was being held, I received a telegram from the Second World War Zone.

When Chiang Kai-shek read it, his face immediately turned red with excitement, and he even read it aloud in the Ningbo dialect: "Chairman Chiang of the Nanjing Nationalist Axe Military Committee: Our department dispatched more than 500 people on the night of December 8 to launch an attack on the Yue army entrenched in Tianzhen County, Shanxi Province. At the same time, more than 1,300 people were dispatched to ambush the reinforcements from the Datong side of the Yue Army. In this campaign, our unit completely annihilated 5 squadrons of cavalry, 2 integrated brigades of mechanized infantry, 1 squadron of armored fighting vehicles, 3 squadrons of the garrison troops (including armed overseas Chinese), and 2 companies of Han annihilation troops, killing one Dazuo, 74 officers below the rank of Zhongzuo, and 3,555 ordinary soldiers...... Due to the heavy casualties in the war, more than eighty percent of the casualties of the whole army had to go into recuperation. ”

After Chiang Kai-shek finished reading the telegram, he looked at the group of [***] generals in the conference room with a red face, and said loudly: "Win more with less, fight well, and play the prestige of the [***] people!" Itagawa Seishiro, you also have today! Ying Qin, think about how we should reward this Han Yunhua. Is it for him to expand the size of the army? Or is Han Yunhua at the first level of the military rank? ”

He Yingqin next to him hurriedly reminded quietly, "Commission, no matter how great Han Yunhua's military achievements are, he is also the Eighth Route Army led by [***]!" , besides, the Eighth Route Army does not recognize the ranks and medals of our Kuomintang. ”

Chiang Kai-shek, who was on the rise, was stunned for a moment, his face suddenly darkened, and he scolded Niang Xipi, and then stopped talking. However, thinking that during this period of time, the international public opinion on China's resistance has become more and more unfavorable, and the pressure from Western countries has become more and more intense, and at this time, his Central Army has not given him a long face, and the situation on the frontal battlefield has deteriorated. So he said slowly: "Whether it is [***] or the Kuomintang, they are all Chinese, and they all have the blood of the Chinese nation, and both the Central Army and the Eighth Route Army are under the leadership of the party-state, and they all belong to the battle sequence of the National Revolutionary Army." If there is no reward for meritorious service, won't it make the soldiers feel cold? In my opinion, we can completely commend Han Yunhua and his Mengji anti-Japanese detachment, and we must set an example in the whole country and form a trend of killing the enemy and making meritorious contributions in the whole [***] team. ”

He Yingqin asked in a low voice: "Commission, then how about we upgrade Han Yunhua's military rank by one level and allocate some oceans?" ”

Chiang Kai-shek glanced at He Yingqin, and said with a cold light in his eyes: "The little family is angry, if you want to be rewarded, you will be rewarded, order: Zhu Commander-in-Chief Peng Deputy Commander-in-Chief Xun Jian: 'Recently, I heard that the Korean Department of your army completely annihilated more than 3,600 people from two brigades and six squadrons of the enemy's Fifth Division with the strength of one regiment, and none of the enemy's officers and soldiers escaped the net, which shows that the officers and soldiers used their lives, and I am deeply grateful. According to a special order of the Central Military Commission and the Ministry of Military Affairs, Han Yunhua's department was upgraded to a brigade-level military establishment, with the number of the 77th Brigade of the Revolutionary Army, under the jurisdiction of the 88th and 99th regiments, another guard battalion and a cavalry battalion. The 77th Brigade of Reading is still in the combat sequence of the 18th Group Army in the Second World War Zone, and Han Yunhua was promoted to major general brigade commander. The Ministry of Military Affairs allocated another 1,200 new neutral rifles to the ministry, each with 100 rounds of ammunition! Ocean 10,000 yuan. Shang Xi encouraged the department to continue to work hard, which is the cause of hope. 'Ying Qin, you immediately convene a press conference to focus on publicizing this battle of winning more with less, so that those countries in the West can also see the demeanor of [***] among us. ”

After listening to Chiang Kai-shek's commendation order, He Yingqin gasped in his heart, what kind of commendation order is this, this is clearly a life-urging talisman, it seems that the commission is preparing to borrow a knife to kill people, but I don't know if this discordant plan is good for the Eighth Route Army. Glancing at the chairman of the committee with his eyes narrowed together, He Yingqin said in response: "I'll go and give an order!" ”

The commendation order of the Ministry of Military Affairs was sent to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army that night, and after reading the commendation order of the Ministry of Military Affairs, the head of the headquarters was silent. No one spoke, they all knew that it was not a good thing for Lao Jiang to take the initiative to increase the establishment of [***] at this time, and let a 22-year-old young man be the brigade commander, which was obviously a knife to kill!

It's a hot potato, to pick it up or not to pick it up. If you don't pick it up, the establishment of this brigade will be gone, you must know that there are so many troops in [***], and when the reorganization was reorganized, Lao Jiang only gave the establishment of 12 regiments of the 6 brigades of the 3rd Division, and now the vast majority of the troops of the Eighth Route Army are black troops that are not recognized by the Kuomintang Military and Political Department, and now Lao Jiang is finally generous, don't be a pity. But if it is accepted, it will really put Han Yunhua on the fire, not to mention the pressure from the party, even the pressure from the outside world can crush this reading power 77 Brigade. When the time comes, it is because he Jiang knows people well and knows people well, and it is all the fault of the Eighth Route Army that he does not fight well. In addition, the Yue Army must hate Han Yunhua and the star unit of the 77th Brigade of Reading to the core, and at that time, Han Yunhua will face the crazy revenge of the Yue Army, and the head of the headquarters will be entangled in his heart.

Commander-in-Chief Zhu asked in a deep voice: "Come, let's talk about it, do you want this Reading Power 77 Brigade?" ”

Mr. Peng also said with some confusion: "It's hard to make a decision!" This is clearly Lao Jiang's thorny bait, but this bait is so tempting that it is difficult to catch it! ”

Liu Bocheng thought for a while and said: "Two bosses, I think it's better to let Yan'an decide whether to do it or not, [***] and Vice Chairman Zhou stand higher than us, let them decide!" What do you say? ”

Zhu De and Peng Dehuai glanced at each other and nodded at the same time.

Yan'an

It was already more than 10 o'clock at night when I received the report forwarded by the headquarters, and [***], who was reading it at night, took the battle report in the hands of the guards and looked at it in the dim light.

After a while, [***] spoke: "Go and call Enlai and Bishi, and say that there is an urgent matter to discuss." ”

Ten minutes later, Zhou Enlai and Ren Bi followed (together) to the cave where [***] lived. As soon as he entered the door, Ren Bishi asked with a smile: "Old Mao, what's the matter with us so late?" ”

Vice Chairman Zhou also smiled and asked, "Lao Mao, what's wrong?" ”

The chairman laughed and said in a thick Hunan dialect: "Lao Jiang has given us a problem again, he has given us a big tempting bait, but he won't let us eat well, you can see what to do." ”

After receiving the telegram handed over by the chairman, Vice Chairman Zhou and Ren Bishi read it together by the light. After reading the battle report, Vice Chairman Zhou smiled and said: "This little Huazi is quite capable of fighting, and the devil is unlucky to meet him." This reading power 77 brigade is a sugar-coated cannonball that divides the relationship between our commanders, whether to pick it up or not, and how to pick it up, this is a question. ”

Ren Bishi asked Vice Chairman Zhou, "Enlai, this Han Yunhua turned out to be your guard, what do you think of him?" ”

Vice Chairman Zhou thought for a while and said: "Xiao Huazi gave me a guard at the age of fifteen, a guard platoon commander at the age of seventeen, a guard company commander at the Central Party School at the age of 19, and a teaching captain and deputy battalion commander of the Red Army Military School at the age of 21. Han Yunhua is still very loyal to the party and the country. His parents sacrificed their lives for the party's cause on the road of Chiang Kai-shek's encirclement and suppression, so it is impossible for him to be bought by Chiang Kai-shek, and Xiao Huazi's own sister is still studying at Kang University, so he can rest assured in this regard. ”

The chairman thought for a moment and said, "It's pointless to say anything now, let's ask our big hero and see what he thinks!" ”

………

When he received the chairman's telegram, Han Yunhua was already about to reach Yangyuan County, and at this time, Han Yunhua was still dressed as the Eighth Route Army, and he had changed, Han Yunhua was now a majestic military commander, and Han Yunhua was followed by all the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army dressed as the army.

In order to quickly and effectively eliminate the defenders of Yangyuan, Han Yunhua buried nearly 5,000 rifles, hundreds of thousands of catties of grain, hundreds of gold bars, hundreds of thousands of silver dollars, and hundreds of thousands of bullets in the mountains near Yangyuan.

The last time he broke through Xinghe County, Shen Yuquan captured tens of thousands of sets of new military uniforms of the Yue Army, and this time he went to northern Jin, Han Yunhua felt that the military uniforms of the Yue Army and his proficient language might be helpful to the troops, so when he left, he specially explained that each soldier brought a set of military uniforms, plus some of the military uniforms of the Fifth Division captured yesterday, which was enough for each of Han Yunhua's soldiers.

The whole unit was led by more than 350 cavalry, followed by a dense machine gun unit, followed by infantry in four columns.

Yangyuan was originally a little-known small county town, and it couldn't attract the attention of big people at all, but Han Yunhua, who was familiar with history, knew that the logistics base for the siege of Shouyi Eight Road in the temple was located in Yangyuan. Therefore, Han Yunhua has long been drooling over the mountains of materials in Yangyuan County.

After reading the chairman's telegram, Han Yunhua looked at Yangyuan County, which was close at hand, and said to the signal corps: "Give the chairman a word back, eat the sugar coating, and shoot the shells back." ”

After receiving Han Yunhua's reply, the chairman laughed at Vice Chairman Zhou and Ren Bishi: "This kid is not very old, and his appetite is not small, and the veteran will suffer a big loss this time." ”

………

After receiving the strict defense order from the North China Dispatch Army Headquarters, the defenders of Yangyuan County did not dare to slack off, and immediately ordered martial law throughout the city, and at the same time carried out a large-scale search of the whole city. Therefore, today the army is more nervous than ever. Therefore, at a long distance, the Yue army noticed Han Yunhua's troops.

But when they saw that this huge force was "their own people", they all secretly breathed a sigh of relief, such a large team, anyone who saw it would be nervous for a long time.

When Han Yunhua walked to the gate of the city, a sentry and ensign ran over and asked in a Chinese language, "Your Excellency, Wing Commander, may I ask which part you are from, and say today's password." ”

Hearing the sentinel's question, Han Yunhua jumped off his horse and straightened his appearance. He walked up to the sentry lieutenant grimly, raised his hand and slapped the lieutenant twice in the face. After inciting it, he shouted in a dialect with a slight accent from the Kanto Plain: "Baga! Did you let the horse kick in the head? Don't you see that we are the troops of the 15th mixed brigade of the Chahar Dispatch Army of the Kwantung Army? How do I know the passwords of your garrisons? Bastard! After yelling, I probably thought that this sentry lieutenant was indeed stupid, and couldn't help but crackle and slap a few times.

After beating the second lieutenant, Han Yunhua straightened his military appearance and ordered: "We are the troops who just arrived from Chahar to cooperate with the battle plan of Your Excellency in the temple, now we have to go into the city to rest, by the way, replenish some supplies, and now take me to meet your commander." ”

"But, but ......" The second lieutenant instinctively felt that something was wrong, and just wanted to refute, but he was shut up by the sharp mangs that occasionally flashed in Han Yunhua's eyes, and Nuo Nuo said: "Hai! ”。 After speaking, he took the lead in opening the barricade for Han Yunhua and walked towards the garrison headquarters with Han Yunhua.

What the second lieutenant didn't know was that when all the troops entered the city, his squad guarding the city gate was dizzy and killed by the Eighth Route Army wearing the same costume, and more than 50 soldiers were killed with bayonets before they could even fire their guns.
