Chapter 354: The Battle of North China (1)

At the same time, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army sent an urgent telegram, ordering Han Yunhua to quickly return to Guisui and command the troops in northern Saibei to counterattack the upcoming attack of the Yue army. The troops remaining in Jinan were commanded by Jiang Yunshan, commander of the Second Brigade of the Instructor.

It can be seen that the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army is really in a hurry this time. In terms of military intelligence capabilities in the northern part of the country, Qian Zhuangfei's intelligence department is of course second to none, but in terms of the entire North China and even the entire northern China region, the Kuomintang's military command is undoubtedly the most powerful, followed by the special high class of the army, and the intelligence department of [***] is the most mysterious and effective.

Therefore, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army saw this battle very clearly, and General Binshan Yuan mobilized 260,000 troops to besiege the Eighth Route Army, and 150,000 people were directly used to attack the Inner Mongolia Military Region. Originally, the entire Inner Mongolia Military Region commanded by Political Commissar Zuo during this period was also very impressive, but the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army did not think that under the frantic attack of more than 100,000 Yue troops, the Inner Mongolia Military Region without Han Yunhua would still be able to repel the Yue army and win the victory of the counter-sweep.

Moreover, Han Yunhua's ability to pull troops can be regarded as making those bigwigs at the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army really realize Han Yunhua's ability, and in just a few months, Han Yunhua only used more than 1,000 people to raise an army of more than 40,000 people in Shandong, what is the concept of more than 40,000 people. You must know that when the Eighth Route Army crossed the Yellow River in 37, the three divisions added up to only more than 40,000 people, which means that [***] has been doing the revolution for so many years, and after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, there is only a little family foundation, and Han Yunhua only took a few months to pull up a total number of troops equivalent to [***] for more than ten years.

What made the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army even more speechless was that when the 129th, 115th, and 120th divisions crossed the Yellow River eastward, the weapons and equipment were simply a group of flowers. And look at the instructors of other people, only a few months after its establishment, the whole division has three fully equipped infantry brigades, even special operations units and artillery units, and the weapons and equipment of that guy are called "drumming".

Even [***], who was far away in Yan'an, praised with emotion: "This Han Yunhua is really our [***] lucky general, and his ability, courage, and courage are better than those of Xue Boling and others." ”

After receiving the telegram from the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, Han Yunhua did not dare to slack off, and immediately packed up his things and set off for Guisui overnight. As for the instructor Han Yunhua, he was given full authority to Jiang Yunshan, in Han Yunhua's eyes, Jiang Yunshan, a one-armed general, was fully capable of commanding a division, although this infantry division seemed to be more like an army.

This time, Han Yunhua only brought a guard team, and he didn't bring anyone else, because he had to pass through multiple enemy blockades along the way, so it was easy to expose if he brought more people.

It is thousands of miles from southern Hebei to Guisui, but Han Yunhua wore the military uniform of the army all the way, and he went out day and night, and he was very safe along the way. It took ten full days for Han Yunhua to finally return to Guisui City.

In the many days since Han Yunhua returned to Guisui, all units of the Yue Army have also been mobilized, and only after the field divisions repaired in Taiyuan go north to Pingjin, they will launch a large-scale attack on Han Yunhua's headquarters and the entire Eighth Route Army.

Of course, Han Yunhua is not a vegetarian, his understanding of the Yue Army is far deeper than any officer in the Eighth Route Army, even the commander Liu, who is known as the god of the army, is not as good as him. Along the way, Han Yunhua's telegram flew like snowflakes to Guisui, first ordering the Inner Mongolia Military Region to enter a first-class combat state from the headquarters of the military region to the county brigades, districts, squads, and militia organizations in various counties and townships, and the people of all cities and counties in the military region should also be ready for battle. This time is not as good as before, the 150,000 elites of the army are real elites, without the slightest water, this battle is destined to be a tragic battle. Second, Han Yunhua ordered all units under the jurisdiction of the Inner Mongolia Military Region to quickly assemble on the front line of Guisui and Jining, and at the same time mobilized a large number of weapons and ammunition from the Baotou Arsenal to the front line. In addition, Han Yunhua ordered Yang Ruihua, Guo Lao, and several other high-ranking cadres to immediately rush to Jining to reorganize the troops.

On 12 August, the command post on the Laohushan Heights in Jining was full of stars, and hundreds of people from the Inner Mongolia Military Region to the political commissars of the brigades and brigade commanders gathered in a large air-raid shelter on the heights. In order to prevent the planes of the Chinese army from coming to bomb him, Han Yunhua placed the meeting place in this air-raid shelter.

Under the vertical illumination of four huge searchlights, the gloomy bomb shelter looked very bright, and it did not look aggrieved at all. In addition, today is the first plenary meeting of Commander Han Yunhua in nearly four months, how can we not make these high-ranking officers who have just been promoted excited.

Han Yunhua didn't let these people wait for a long time, and soon walked into the conference room with Zuo Quan, Chen Geng and other big leaders of the military region.

Seeing Han Yunhua and the others walking in, the cadres in the conference room hurriedly got up. Han Yunhua walked to the seat in the middle and stood still, and then said, "Everyone, sit down, today is the first plenary meeting we have held in the past four months, and we should not waste time because of the urgency of the war." Let me now give you a briefing on the hostile situation. After speaking, Han Yunhua picked up the command baton and pointed to the huge military map on the wall and said: "Comrades, it is said that the heart of China will not die, and some time ago, the army defeated the million-strong army of the national political axe on the battlefield in Wuhan, and Wuhan fell. At this time, the Chinese army gathered nearly 300,000 troops to launch an attack on all the Eighth Route Army's anti-Japanese base areas, including our military region, in a vain attempt to completely annihilate the 700,000 troops of our Eighth Route Army in a short period of time. ”

Han Yunhua slowed down and continued: "Comrades, on the southern Hebei side, the 32nd and 35th Divisions of the Japanese Army, plus the 3rd Brigade and the 7th Brigade and two infantry brigades, totaling more than 50,000 people, formed the First Attack Group, and the commander is Lieutenant General Hyotaro Kimura, commander of the 32nd Division. In addition, the three departments of the National People's Political Axe and Shiyou, as well as the Administrative Office of Southern Hebei of our Eighth Route Army, and the Shandong Instructor were the key targets. In the southeastern area of Shanxi, the army even gathered more than 80,000 people from the 36th Division, the 37th Division, the 4th Brigade of Reading Force, the 9th Brigade, the 14th Division, and the 108th Division to launch a comprehensive attack on the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army and the 129th and 115th divisions of the Eighth Route Army in the southeast of Shanxi. At the same time, the army also sent more than 20,000 people to launch a large-scale attack on the Eighth Route Army's Jizhong Military Region and the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region. The most important thing is that in the northern part of the country, the army has unprecedentedly mobilized 150,000 pure devils and formed an elite attack group, and the focus is to attack our Inner Mongolia Military Region. The 150,000 devil elites include the 20th Division, the 21st Division, the 26th Division, the 10th Division, the Yamashita Division, and the Cavalry Group. Among them, the 20th Division, the 10th Division, and the Shanxia Division belonged to the real field elite of the Yue Army, which were surrounded on all sides, and the Yue Army pressed blood on the blood capital in Hebei, Shandong, Shanxi, Chahar, Suiyuan, Rehe, and Pingjin areas, in a vain attempt to annihilate our Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop. However, if they want to eat us in one bite, we still lack a good pair of teeth, and they still want to wrestle their wrists with our military region, and these bitches are not good at raising them. Comrades, the next thing we need to do is to let these little devils know what the real elite is, and Lao Tzu's troops are the elite. ”

"Ge Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu is the elite, the little devil will kill one Lao Tzu when he comes, and kill one pair when he comes to two, if he has nothing to say, fight!"

"Damn, isn't there a shortage of labor in the mine in Baotou, I think it's the little devil who is sending us free labor, Commander, we'll all tell you, let's fight!!"

"The devils have hit the door, we can't explain to the villagers if we don't beat us, fight!"

"Our combat effectiveness has improved significantly during this period of time, and this is the best time to test the troops.

"It's finally going to be a war, and if I don't fight again, my bones will be rusty, hahaha!"

………………………… Seeing that the fighting spirit of the majority of commanders and fighters was so high, Han Yunhua was also very happy in his heart. It has been 39 years since the war, and there are only less than six years left before the surrender of Yueben, as long as it persists, there will be hope for China and the Chinese nation.

At this time, Zuo Quan got up and said, "Comrades, please be quiet. I know that everyone is eager to fight now, but the lion fights the rabbit with all his strength, the little devil is not made of mud, it is a force armed with steel and militaristic ideology, and its combat effectiveness is also obvious to all, and it is a good thing to have high morale, but we must not be arrogant. The commander also said just now that this time it is not the second-line garrison troops of those devils in the past and the devil troops mixed with the puppet army, but the pure elite army that can no longer be pure, and we must go all out and must not have the slightest problem, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

"The political commissar is right, we must not be arrogant. Although our combat effectiveness has been enhanced, and our weapons and equipment have been changed more than once, the little devils did not grow up eating dry food. The industrial strength of Ben is not comparable to that of half of our industrial cities in Baotou, and we cannot fight the devils more than the consumption of weapons and equipment. Let Comrade Qian Zhuangfei now tell us the details of this attack on the devil troops in southern Hebei and our northern Saibei, knowing that we will not be defeated in a hundred battles, and only by fully understanding our opponents can we leave all the devils on our land. Han Yunhua's voice was sonorous and powerful, which shocked everyone in the conference room.
