Having said that, General Binshan Yuan also knew that it was far water that could not save the near fire, although there were indeed many troops under the jurisdiction of the North China Front Army now, but it was really useless to be able to rank in this battle. Senior General Binshan Yuan also studied the battle mode of Han Yunhua's department, and he found an astonishing problem from it, that is, almost all the troops of the Inner Mongolia Military Region adopted the method of fighting with quick battles and quick resolutions, and once the battle turned into a war of attrition, they would choose to retreat wisely at other times except when it was absolutely necessary to fight to the death.

Therefore, General Binshan Yuan attaches great importance to every action of Han Yunhua's department, because in his opinion, if that hateful person does not make a move, it will be a thunderous blow, so that you don't even have a chance to rescue. Although General Binshan Yuan's heart is now burning with anger, and he wants to step on the Inner Mongolia Military Region now, reason tells him to calm down, maybe that guy is waiting for him to go crazy and make a stupid move.

Bin Shan Yuan knew that the meeting would not be able to go on, and it was a pot of porridge over there, and the telegrams asking for help were sent one after another, so he still had the heart to hold a meeting. Most of the main forces of the First Army stationed in Shanxi were concentrated in the central and southern Jinxi and southeastern Jin, and the troops in the northern Jin region were very weak, so General Binshan Yuan ordered Major General Yoshito Takagi to immediately return to Shanxi to command the battle. Since Han Yunhua's subordinates are now in an absolute advantage, and Major General Yoshito Takagi has no troops in his hands, there is no difference between going back and sending him to death. Therefore, General Binshan Yuan ordered him not to return to Datong, but to rush directly to the 124th Wing of Reading Force, which was chasing deer, and let him quickly rush to Tianzhen to rescue. General Binshan Yuan believed that Tianzhen was just a bait for Han Yunhua to lure the 39th Infantry Brigade, and if this bait was lost, the threat of Han Yunhua's troops to the imperial army would drop by more than half. It is precisely because of this that when they received the telegram that Tianzhen was in danger, the defenders of Datong had to go to the rescue at the risk of death, which gave those hateful people a chance to take advantage of. Now it is only necessary to keep Tianzhen, then the reinforcements of Datong can return to Datong the same way, and when the time comes, the army inside and outside the city of Datong will attack together, even if it can't hit this hateful Zhina army hard, it can also crush its combat intentions.

As one of the Gongwei counties in Beiping, Zhulu has always been stationed with heavy troops, and it has always been garrisoned by the Yamashita Brigade before, and later the Yamashita Brigade was hit hard by Han Yunhua's department during the Battle of Saibei, and a complete infantry brigade was left with more than 80 people after the war, fortunately, because its brigade commander Major General Yamashita Fengwen and the brigade flag were not lost or damaged, coupled with Yamashita Fengwen defending Zhangjiakou, he would rather coexist with Zhangjiakou City when he ran out of ammunition and food, giving Han Yunhua no great casualties, and playing the military prestige of the Imperial Army, Therefore, when almost all the officers of the entire North China Front Army were reprimanded by the base camp, Major General Yamashita Fengwen was the only officer who was commended by the general order of the base camp. The Yamashita Brigade, which had almost suffered casualties and was almost completely wiped out, was also quickly restored under the supervision of the base camp, and its establishment jumped from the original 7,000 people to a reinforced brigade with more than 14,000 people, and it was also equipped with a tank brigade with 45 tanks and armored vehicles, and its strength suddenly soared to an incredible height.

You must know that the Sino-Japanese War has been going on for a year and a half, and although it occupies one-third of China's land and 70 percent of the heavy industrial cities, the consumption of China's national strength is also extremely serious, as can be seen from the large-scale formation of those three-organized divisions. At the beginning of the war, the vast majority of the divisions and regiments of the Chinese army were divisions and regiments with two main infantry brigades and four combat wings, and many divisions and regiments were equipped with very valuable tanks, armored vehicles, and field heavy artillery. However, due to the serious consumption of national strength and the huge shortage of troops, the army can only form a third-class division with three infantry wings under its jurisdiction, and the third-class division does not have tanks and armored vehicles, and even the artillery is equipped with 12 75mm caliber field guns or mountain guns. However, the Yamashita Brigade is now only an infantry brigade, but its well-equipped Chinese battlefield is a number, and the fully equipped tank brigade alone is not comparable to ordinary troops. It is no exaggeration to say that Major General Yamashita Fengfu is now the commander of the main division with the rank of major general and the position of brigade commander, and the Yamashita Brigade is also the well-deserved First Brigade of the Imperial Army.

Of course, at this time, the Yamashita Brigade can no longer be used as a local garrison force, and such a force with strong combat effectiveness and tenacious fighting will must of course be used on the blade, so the North China Front Command will send a newly formed Reading Force Wing to guard Zhulu.

Zhulu is not far from Beiping and Tianzhen, if you take a military truck, you can reach Zhulu from Beiping in three hours at most, and it only takes less than five hours to get from Zhulu to Tianzhen, as long as the defenders of Tianzhen hold on for a while and reinforcements can arrive. In addition, Major General Yoshito Takagi Yoshito also went to inspect the bunkers built by Takahashi Tundra Osa, and knew that it was a relatively complete fortification, although due to limited conditions, the number of pillboxes was not too many, and most of them were permanent firepower points piled up with sandbags, but there was no problem at all in resisting the troops of the three Chinese divisions for more than three days. In addition, the defenders of Tianzhen counted more than 8,000 people, and even if such a force stood there and waited for Han Yunhua's troops to kill, it would not be able to kill it in a short time. In the words of Major General Yoshito Takagi, even 8,000 pigs could not be killed in a day or two. Yoshito Takagi, who firmly believed that the defenders of Tianzhen would definitely be able to hold out, agreed with General Binshanmoto's approach, and immediately rushed to Zhulu by car after receiving the order.

But this time they all guessed wrong, the direct purpose of Han Yunhua's department was not to occupy Datong or Tianzhen, it was definitely a big burden for the Inner Mongolia Military Region, which was already overstretched in troops, but it was not necessary. The reason why Han Yunhua wanted to make such a big move this time was to deter the Jin Sui army and prevent Yan Laoxi from doing anything. On the other hand, it is to supplement the problem of insufficient labor in the military region and, of course, to disrupt the operational plan of the army.

In addition to Han Yunhua's "eloquence and strategy," the development of the Inner Mongolia Military Region is more important than the abundant labor force. In addition, the people in the Saibei area are fierce, so no matter what they do, the men in the Saibei can take a shot, just as the cavalry troops of the Inner Mongolia Military Region are almost all composed of the men of the Saibei, and even the founder of the cavalry unit, Xi Liege, is also a pure Mongolian man, a standard Saibei man. Fortunately, in addition to the need for personnel in the troops, the labor force in the base areas can still meet the needs of the development of the base areas. But now that the territory has expanded, all aspects need to be replenished with labor, and now all kinds of enterprises and factories under the jurisdiction of the military region need people, and these do not include those private enterprises. So the day after Han Yunhua just returned from Wuhan, Shen Yuquan told him that there was a shortage of people in the base area.

Although many people returned to Chahar from Yan'an, Shaanxi and other places during this period, the number was not large, and the role of a drop in the bucket in the development of the Inner Mongolia Military Region was minimal, so Han Yunhua came up with the idea of rescuing the miners to make up for the shortage of labor. Another reason that prompted Han Yunhua to attack the coal mines in the Datong area twice in a row was the dozens of mass graves left outside Datong after the war.

These "mass graves" were all used as tunnels for the bodies of the mutilated miners to pile up their bodies after they died after the occupation of the Datong Coal Mine in October 1937 by the invaders and the brutal implementation of the bloody policy of "exchanging people for coal". According to incomplete statistics, during the eight years of occupation of the Datong Coal Mine, the invaders plundered more than 14 million tons of coal, and more than 60,000 miners were destroyed to death. There are as many as 20 "mass graves" in the Datong coal mine area alone. There is also information that the invading army brutalized more than 155,000 Chinese laborers through the "mass grave" in Datong, instead of the 60,000 previously assumed. In addition, the invading army also killed Chinese laborers through such cruel means as "refining furnaces", "bone riverbeds", "burning fires", burying them alive, and cultivating malaria bacteria. This is still known to Han Yunhua, but sixty or seventy years have passed in history, and many things have been buried by the dust of history, and it is difficult for people to restore its true appearance. It's like how many creepy mass graves there are, and how many Chinese miners are buried in them, it's unknown. It can be said that 60,000 people died there in China in eight years, but no one can say for sure how many people were thrown into the barren mountains and mountains and whose bones were left behind, but the number of absolutely not less than 60,000 is certain.

History should not be forgotten, when I was studying at the National University of Defense Technology, in order to cultivate the patriotic feelings of contemporary college students, the school specially organized students to visit the Datong mass grave and the Nanjing Massacre Memorial Hall. Han Yunhua still can't forget the terrifying scene of the Datong mass grave, the bones are piled up, layer upon layer, and the remains of the dead miners are forever frozen at the moment when they crawl towards the entrance of the cave, Han Yunhua seems to see the moment when the scrawny miners cover their scars and want to climb out of this human purgatory, and seem to see the moment when they die helplessly in moaning and struggling. The "mass grave" and the Nanjing Massacre Memorial Hall and several similar activities can be said to have laid the foundation for Han Yunhua's hatred of the invaders, so Han Yunhua vowed to destroy this human purgatory built by China during the invasion of China.

From October 1937 to August 1945, the army established the Datong Coal Mine Co., Ltd. to be responsible for plundering China's coal resources, and the brutality of the army at that time had been deeply rooted in the minds of the Chinese people, plus mining was one of the most dangerous jobs, so almost no people volunteered to go to the coal mine to dig coal, and only those who really couldn't survive would do that kind of business. For this reason, in order to plunder the coal resources of Datong, the invaders lured hundreds of thousands of miners from Shandong, Henan and Datong to dig coal for them. When the miners resisted slightly, the army killed them alive, skinned, and assassinated. With the support of the military, these shady companies have carried out a bloody policy of "exchanging people for coal", with an average of four miners dying for every 1,000 tons of coal. Especially in 1942, when an infectious disease was prevalent in the Datong mining area, and the number of miners' deaths increased, Yu Kou set up a corpse pulling team to throw the corpses of the miners, the miners who were in danger of dying and even thought that they had lost their labor into the valley field, caves and abandoned kilns, gradually forming a tragic "mass grave". The deepest impact on Han Yunhua was the mass grave at the coal valley mouth in Datong City, which was more than 70 meters deep, and it was not enough to describe Han Yunhua's shock at that time with shocking descriptions.

In addition to patriotic reasons, Han Yunhua also had an unknown reason for attacking the Datong mining area, he suspected that the reason why the Yue army created so many mass graves, plundering coal resources is certainly a reason, but this is definitely not the main reason, such a large-scale cruelty to the Chinese will definitely trigger the Chinese people's resistance, but the Yue army still did it without hesitation, so Han Yunhua suspects that the formation of the Datong "mass grave" is not the result of accidental war behavior, Rather, it was a major historical conspiracy to kill the Chinese planned by the top brass of the Yue army.

Since he has come to this era and embarked on the road of resisting the invaders without hesitation, Han Yunhua feels that he should do his best, no matter how shocking what he is doing now, but as long as it is beneficial to the country and the nation, and to the benefit of thousands of compatriots, he Han Yunhua has an unshirkable responsibility. Just like the more than 300,000 unjust souls in Nanjing, the "mass grave" in Datong is also a haze that Han Yunhua can't erase from his heart, and Han Yunhua vows to feel at ease if he doesn't pull out this cancer.

Han Yunhua will never allow the invaders to use the "black coal" soaked in the "red blood" of Chinese laborers to start a war machine that kills mankind. In order to crack down on those black-hearted enterprises supported by the army, Han Yunhua secretly ordered that all the managers of the company in the mining area be executed without interrogation. All the miners and women in the mining area were brought back to the military region, and all the equipment that could be transported away was taken away, and everything that could not be transported was blown up along with the mining area.

In Han Yunhua's mind, at least those things and coal were still on Chinese soil after the explosion, and even if the army occupied it, it would not be able to steal the coal back from an abandoned mining area.

Therefore, for Han Yunhua, the occupation of Datong and Tianzhen is secondary, it is good to be able to occupy it, but it is not a pity that it cannot be occupied, as long as the Datong mining area is taken, the oil and water are also very amazing, not to mention the labor force urgently needed by the military region, that is, a large number of mules, horses and automobiles staying in the mining area are a batch of large and small wealth, plus the Datong mining area also has mining equipment urgently needed by the Inner Mongolia Military Region. Therefore, no matter what aspect it is, Han Yunhua must take down this mining area.
