Lieutenant General Yoshida Nao made a good calculation, but Aolige and Wan Guoquan were both cavalry groups that were determined to annihilate the Yue army, so they were all anxious when they saw that Yoshida Nao was going to abandon his horse and flee, especially Wan Guoquan, the chariot is only suitable for assault in the plain area, like today this is just an exception, the army is blocked in a long and narrow valley, escape and can't escape, fight and fight, waiting for them in addition to death or death.

But now the commander of the army has come up with such a solution, although the army has lost its most important equipment -- war horses. However, the squadron could not pursue them with cavalry and chariot troops, even if Wan Guoquan sent chariots to pursue them, but compared to the cavalry and horses, it would be much more serious for the chariot troops to have no chariots. After all, now the cavalry is cavalry, and he can still be an infantry without a horse, but if the chariot unit does not have a chariot, there will be nothing. In particular, the chariot unit has no other guns to equip the troops except for two vehicle-mounted heavy machine guns, so if Yoshida Naosho's department escapes like this, Wan Guoquan will really have no choice.

However, Aurege was also red-eyed, and saw that all the cavalry of the Yue army had abandoned their horses and fled to the hillside. Before the war, Aurege also went here to reconnoiter the terrain, and knew that there was no way for the cavalry to go over this mountain beam or a mountain, which means that if the army was allowed to climb over this mountain beam, this group of surviving devils might really escape.

"Damn, all get off the horse and chase after Lao Tzu, if you let a little devil escape, you just wait for the commander's devil training!" Aurege yelled in some frustration.

Suddenly, a large number of troops dismounted their horses and rushed towards the hillside, but Aurege also knew that if the army was willing to give up a wing, it would be impossible for his troops to catch up with other devils for the time being. In that case, the battle was a good one, but it was not perfect. And Yoshida Nao obviously saw this, although there are not many surviving troops now, and there are only more than 4,000 people when the battle is full, but Yoshida Nao still ruthlessly left more than 1,000 people on the spot to block the troops of the Inner Mongolia Military Region with the geographical advantage of the hillside, and he himself led a large army to continue to flee out of the mountain.

But happiness often comes so suddenly, just when Aurege and Wan Guoquan were annoyed, there was a fierce gunfire on the side of the hillside, and Aurege heard carefully that it was the troops of the Inner Mongolia Military Region, and it was also the infantry of the Inner Mongolia Military Region, because in addition to the dull sound of the Czech-style light machine gun, there were also Type 92 heavy machine guns and crooked handles, as well as Type 96 light machine guns that were not equipped in the cavalry. Although the Inner Mongolia Military Region had just adjusted the equipment of the troops not long ago, the adjustments were all rifles, and as for the machine guns, no matter how light or heavy, they were not adjusted, because the military region did not have the strength to equip all the troops with machine guns of a unified caliber, and the troops still had some hard currency (machine guns) that were unwilling to be handed over to the military region, so Han Yunhua let it go. Therefore, as soon as he heard the sound of gunfire, he knew that the Yue army had been intercepted by the infantry of the Inner Mongolia Military Region, and he was overjoyed and ordered the troops to bypass the blocking line of the Yue army and cross the hillside from other places to fight the Yue army.

Speaking of Yoshida, Nao Yoshida is really unlucky, just like he saw that the side hillside can be used as an escape route, there are also capable people in the motorized infantry regiment, and their commander Zhang Dingguo is such a talent, although the chariot unit opens the way in front, it seems that there is no need for infantry to mix. However, Zhang Dingguo, who had participated in the great victory of Pingxingguan, found that the terrain here is very similar to the terrain of Pingxingguan, which is a long and narrow valley, although the mountain walls here are very gentle compared to the mountain walls around Pingxingguan, but this does not prevent Zhang Dingguo from seeing this place as Pingxingguan.

Seeing this, Zhang Dingguo's heart became lively, although the victory of Pingxingguan was not much, and there were only more than 1,500 people in the full battle, but the casualties of the 115th Division were more than this number, if in a military sense, the 115th Division of Pingxingguan and the Yue Army could be regarded as a tie at most, and it was just a little cheap. However, Pingxingguan shattered the myth of the invincibility of the army, and its significance was by no means comparable to ordinary victories.

There are many similarities between the battle now and the Ping-type Guan Dajie, which fought a heavy column of the Fifth Division of the Yue Army, and the Yue Army was equipped with a large number of mules and horses, which is not much different from the cavalry units of the Yue Army. At the same time, the terrain was also very similar, so Zhang Dingguo decided to lead his troops to bypass the chariot troops and directly occupy the slopes on both sides of the valley, and shoot the cavalry of the Yue army condescendingly like in the Battle of Pingxingguan.

It was precisely because of Zhang Dingguo's temporary intention that he made up for the lack of consideration of Wan Guoquan and Aolige, and the cavalry units of the Yue army were not able to escape.

When the siege of Kuancheng was coming to an end, Master Chen's side also achieved major results. After receiving a telegram from the Xinglong defenders asking for help, General Binshan Yuan was shocked, wasn't the main force of Han Yunhua's department surrounded in Qian'an, and even Han Yunhua, the commander of the Inner Mongolia Military Region, had already become a turtle in the urn, and the Xinglong Zhina troops jumped out of there. Could it be Chengde's Zhina army, thinking of this, General Binshan Yuan was surprised and surprised in his heart, and at the same time a little worried.

If these troops were from Chengde, then it would have been much easier for Yoshida's cavalry group to assault Chengde, and at the same time, after occupying Chengde, they could also flank the Zhina troops on the Zhangbei front in front and rear. But if it weren't for the troops that came out of Chengde City, it would be troublesome, and now in the entire Pingjin area, in addition to the more than 20,000 puppet troops of the puppet North China Security Army, there is only an infantry wing and a chariot brigade of the Beiping Guard Army, and the defense force is extremely weak. If the defense is broken through by the Chinese army, even he, an army general, cannot afford the consequences.

Before General Binshan Yuan could respond, the guards reported that they had lost contact with the Xinglong defenders. General Binshan Yuan knew that once he lost contact with that force, it could only mean that this army was more than lucky. Xinglong here is close to Miyun and Changping, once the northern gateway of Beiping is opened, there is no more dangerous place to guard on the way to Beiping.

Bin Shanyuan suddenly realized the danger, and he immediately ordered the 1st, 4th, 9th, and 11th groups of the North China Public Security Army stationed in Beiping to cooperate with the 1st Infantry Wing of the 1st Infantry Brigade of the Chinese Garrison Army and the 3rd Brigade of the Tank to move to Miyun, and build a defensive position in Miyun, waiting for the arrival of Han Yunhua's headquarters. At the same time, General Binshan Yuan urgently ordered the 10th Infantry Division on the Qian'an front line to immediately return to Beiping, and the 1st Marine Brigade stationed in Tianjin and the 1st Military Police Brigade of the Military Police Headquarters of the North China Front Army also rushed to Beiping.

Lieutenant General Ushijima on the Daqingshan front also received a harshly worded order from the North China Front, and General Binshan Yuan ordered Ushijima to break through the defensive position of Daqingshan within two days and kill Han Yunhua, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

After occupying Xinglong, Master Chen only left an infantry company to garrison Xinglong, and the large army did not even enter the city and continued to run towards Beiping.

Daqingshan, the former enemy's general headquarters.

"Brother, great victory! Jidong victory! Yun Qian shouted loudly as she ran, attracting sideways glances from the surrounding soldiers.

When Yun Qian rushed in, Han Yunhua was discussing the current battle situation with a large number of combat staff officers in the combat command room, and when he saw Yun Qian's little face flushed and excited, Han Yunhua knew that it must be a good thing, but he wanted to set an example for others, so he said with some "dissatisfaction": "What is the matter in a panic, Comrade Han Yunqian, you are now a middle-level cadre of the Eighth Route Army, how can you be so frizzy." Say something! ”

What kind of person is my brother Han Yunqian knows best, a typical knife mouth and tofu heart, and she didn't want to worry about Han Yunhua, so she pouted and said: "Report commander, ten minutes ago, the mechanized brigade and cavalry division of the 300th Division of the Inner Mongolia Military Region jointly sent a telegram that our army completely annihilated the cavalry group of the Yue Army at 11 o'clock on August 29, 1939 in the valley area five kilometers east of Kuancheng, killed more than 12,400 cavalry members of Lieutenant General Yoshida Nao, the supreme commander of the cavalry group, and captured 3,462 Yue troops, it is said that none of the cavalry groups of the army have slipped through the net. In this battle, more than 7,600 war horses were captured, 16 military flags of various kinds, including the group flags of the cavalry group of the army, and ................... mounted spears"

Before Yun Qian's words fell, the command room roared, and the staff officers beat and hugged each other, and the scene was extremely touching.

After stopping for more than ten minutes, seeing that all the people were quiet, Han Yunhua got up and said: "Very good, the destruction of the cavalry group of the Yue Army is equivalent to breaking an arm of the little devil, Comrade Qian Zhuangfei, you immediately report to the Yan'an Party Central Committee and the Eighth Route Army Headquarters, ask for merit for the soldiers of the mechanized brigade and cavalry division, and at the same time notify the whole army to reward the meritorious personnel." Then Han Yunhua continued: "Order: The mechanized brigade immediately returns to Zhangbei, and orders Wan Guoquan to give me two days to take Zhangbei County's troops to attack Zhangjiakou, and make every effort to take Zhangjiakou." ”

"Order: The cavalry division immediately moved south, joined up with the 77th Division, and attacked Beiping and Tianjin with all its might."

"Order: The instructor, the 334th Brigade, and the Southern Hebei Administrative Office immediately cooperate with the 69th Army of the National Revolutionary Army and the New Eighth Army to capture the territory of southern Hebei. In terms of political strategy, the encirclement of Zhengding was completed, and at the same time, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army was invited to invite the Jizhong Military Region and the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region to attack together. ”

Han Yunhua gave three combat orders in a row, he knew very well that the destruction of the cavalry group would definitely make the Yue Army's heart move, and this was the time for the Eighth Route Army to expand its influence and enhance its strength, and it would be better to wait if it did not attack at this time.

After receiving the telegram from Han Yunhua in Daqingshan, Yan'an's [***] was overjoyed and immediately asked the guards to notify the Political Bureau of the Central Committee to hold a meeting at the same time. At this meeting, [***] read out in public the good news just sent by the Inner Mongolia Military Region, and at the same time spoke highly of the merits of Han Yunhua and the entire Inner Mongolia Military Region. After the meeting, [***] personally wrote an editorial praising the Inner Mongolia Military Region and Han Yunhua, and asked the comrades of the Xinhua News Agency, which is stationed in Yucheng, to immediately publish the editorial in a recent issue.

At the same time, [***] also ordered the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army to report the victory to the Second Theater and the Ministry of Military Affairs of the National Axe in the name of the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, and the whole army reported to praise the achievements of the Inner Mongolia Military Region during this period, starting from the two mixed brigades of the Southern Hebei Army, until the cavalry group of the whole Annihilation Army, the soldiers of the army were under the city of Beiping, and even the 77th Division of the Central Reading Force was completely annihilated by the West Shiyuan Brigade and the infantry wing of the Fourth Division of the Bao Sen Division.

As soon as this report from the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army came out, there was an uproar at home and abroad, and no one knew that the Inner Mongolia Military Region had achieved such great results in such a short period of two months, and the good guys were afraid that more than 50,000 devils had been lost in the hands of Han Yunhua's subordinates. Although various forces still have doubts about the results of this report from the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, they vigorously denied it on board the plane, and made a high-profile claim that they had surrounded the main force of Han Yunhua's headquarters of the Inner Mongolia Military Region in Qian'an, and Han Yunhua, the commander of the Inner Mongolia Military Region, was also surrounded by several divisions of the Imperial Army on Daqingshan, and it was already difficult to fly in the urn.

Neither the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army nor the Inner Mongolia Military Region denied this, and of course they did not admit it, allowing various forces at home and abroad to be suspicious and suspicious.

Of course, Han Yunhua didn't know that the rumors about him outside were already flying all over the sky, and what he was most concerned about now was whether Germany would attack Poland. It is now August 30, less than a day before the German assault on Poland in history, and this matter is related to the international environment of China's War of Resistance, and Han Yunhua has to pay attention.

Han Yunhua clearly remembers the time of the full-scale outbreak of World War II and the major historical events in history, at 4:45 a.m. on September 1, 1939, the German bomber group roared towards Poland, targeting Polish troops, arsenals, airports, railways, highways and bridges. About an hour later, the German ground forces launched an offensive on all fronts from the north, west and southwest. At the same time, the German battleship "Holstein", which was anchored outside the port of Danzig under the guise of a friendly visit, also suddenly opened fire on the Polish military base. The Polish army was caught off guard, 500 first-line planes were blown up at the airfield before they could take off, countless artillery, automobiles and other baggage were destroyed before they could retreat, transportation hubs and command centers were destroyed, and the troops fell into chaos. Taking advantage of the situation, the Germans took advantage of the situation and quickly broke through the Polish lines from several major positions, led by armored and motorized units.

After breaking through the Polish lines, the Germans advanced to the heart of Poland at a speed of 50-60 kilometers per day. Rundstedt's Army Group South, with Reichenau's 10th Army Corps as the main force in the center, Liszt's 14th Army Corps as the right flank, and under the cover of the 8th Army Corps of Blaskovice on the left flank, advanced from the west and southwest towards the middle reaches of the Vistula; Bock's Army Group North, with Kruger's 4th Army Corps as the main force, plunged eastward into the "Polish Corridor", while Küller's 3rd Army Corps moved south from East Prussia to Warsaw and the Bug River behind Warsaw. This is a great march of mechanized troops on a scale unprecedented in the history of human warfare. In this great march, Guderian, the founder of the German Panzer Corps, successfully practiced his theory of Panzer Corps and led the 19th Panzer Corps to a brilliant victory. The 19th Armored Army is subordinate to the 4th Army of Army Group North and has 1 armored division, 2 motorized divisions and 1 infantry division. It was both the middle of the 4th Army Corps and the attacking vanguard of the Army Group. After the start of the war, Guderian led his troops to quickly break through the Polish border defense line, crossed the Brachy River on the night of September 1, and advanced to the line of the Vistula River on September 3, completing the encirclement of the Polish army "Pomerania" in the "Polish Corridor" area.

The German lightning attack put the Polish army completely in a situation of passive beating, which was the first time that the Poles and the world experienced the taste of "blitzkrieg". The Polish command had expected that the war would unfold slowly as usual, and that the Germans would first carry out avant-garde activities with light cavalry and then attack with heavy cavalry, and were unprepared for the "blitzkrieg" in which the Germans used a large number of tanks and aviation. The Polish high command was overconfident in its military strength and counted on British and French assistance, so it deployed all its troops on the German-Polish border, believing that victory could be achieved if a resolute counterattack was carried out. This kind of deployment, without any advance or retreat, caused the Polish army to be either annihilated or divided and surrounded under the advance of the German army at high speed and depth, and became a lone army left behind the German army, and the resistance quickly collapsed. Although Britain and France had millions of troops on the Western Front, they did not move and declared no war. On September 6, the commander-in-chief of the Polish army, Edward Edward. Field Marshal Rez-Himigwe ordered all troops to withdraw to the east of the Vistula to form the Vistula-San line. The Polish government was evacuated from Warsaw and moved to Lublin. The overall situation has been basically decided, and from a military point of view, the war is over.

By September 7, Rundstedt's Army Group South inflicted heavy losses on the Polish Army "Lodz" and "Krakow" Corps, occupying Lodz, the industrial center of Poland, and Krakow, the second largest city, and the 16th Panzer Corps, the vanguard of the 10th Army Corps, reached the southern outskirts of Warsaw on September 8, cutting off the retreat of the Polish "Poznan" Corps from the south. Bauk's Army Group North completely annihilated the Polish Army "Pomerania" and inflicted heavy losses on the "Modlin", occupied the "Polish Corridor", and then forced its way across the Vistula River to seize the positions covering the road to Warsaw from the north.

On 8 September, Küller's 3rd Army Corps and Kruger's 4th Corps, which belonged to Army Group North, carried out an assault from the north and northwest in the general direction of Warsaw, and on 11 September, Guderian's 19th Panzer Corps crossed the Narev River and began to advance rapidly towards the Bug River in the rear of Warsaw. On 14 September, the 10th Army Corps of Reichenau and the 8th Army Corps of Blaskovice were united west of the Vistula River to encircle the Polish troops retreating from Poznan and Lodz, occupying central Poland, leaving Warsaw in a semi-encircled state. By 15 September, Guderian's 19th Panzer Corps had encircled Brest-Litovsk, and its 3rd Panzer Division and 2nd Motorized Division continued to advance south in order to complete the final deep encirclement with Liszt's 14th Corps, the right flank of Army Group South. At the same time, the vanguard of the 14th Army, Kleist's 22nd Panzer Corps, encircled Lviv and continued its northward advance, and on the 16th it joined up with Army Group North in the area of Vhuodava and encircled the Polish army that had retreated in the triangle of the Bug, San and Vistula rivers. On 17 September, after completing the siege of Warsaw, the Germans ordered the Warsaw authorities to surrender within 12 hours. The Polish political axe and the Polish army command had fled across the border to Romania on the 16th.

The Soviet Union, which had already negotiated with Germany to divide Poland, was never in a position to do so because of the non-aggression pact it with Poland. The flight of the Polish political axe finally gave the Soviet Union a "decent" excuse to send troops to Poland. The Soviet political axe declared: since the Polish political axe no longer existed, the Soviet-Polish non-aggression pact was no longer in force. "In order to protect the interests of Ukrainian and Belarusian minorities," the USSR decided to station in the eastern regions of Poland. In the early morning of September 17, the Soviet Union Belorussian Front and the Ukrainian Front, led by General Kovalev and General Timoshenko, respectively, crossed the eastern border of Poland and advanced westward. On September 18, the German-Soviet [***] teams met in Brest-Litovsk. Hitler wanted to take Warsaw as soon as possible, ordering that the Germans must take Warsaw by the end of September. On September 25, the Germans began shelling forts, strongholds, and important supply centers around Warsaw. Subsequently, the German 8th Army Corps began to attack Huaza. On September 26, the Luftwaffe began bombing Warsaw. On 27 September, the defenders of Warsaw ceased to resist. On September 28, the commander of the Warsaw garrison formally signed the instrument of surrender to the commander of the German 8th Army, General Blaskowice. On 29 September, the fortress of Moder surrendered. By 2 October, Gdynia, the last city of resistance, had ceased to resist. The first campaign after the outbreak of World War II ended in just one month. During the war, the Polish army suffered 200,000 casualties and more than 400,000 prisoners. The Germans lost 10,600 killed, 33,000 wounded, and 3,400 missing. The Warsaw garrison was forced to surrender on the 28th, ending the German annexation of Poland.

The reason why Han Yunhua paid so much attention to the war of Germany's surprise attack on Poland was entirely because on September 3, the third day of Germany's raid on Poland, Britain and France, which had signed a military alliance with Poland, were forced to declare war on Germany, and the Second Time War broke out.

Although the full-scale outbreak of the Second Time War was a disaster for the people of the dark world, because this was the largest war that broke out since the beginning of human civilization, the Second World War from Europe to Asia, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, has 61 countries and regions, more than 2 billion people were involved in the war, the combat area is 22 million square kilometers. World War II was the deadliest war in history, with about 90 million people killed. Of these, about 28 million died in the Soviet Union; About 18 million deaths in China; A total of 420,000 people died in the United States; A total of 400,000 people (both military and civilian) died in the UK; In France, 800,000 people (both military and civilian) died, with civilians making up the majority. At least 130 million others were injured, for a total of 190 million casualties (including about 60 million in the Soviet Union and 35 million in China). Germany had 28 million dead and wounded; 6.9 million people were killed or wounded; Italy has 700,000 dead and wounded. The Second World War caused huge losses to all countries in the world, according to incomplete calculations, according to the 1937 price comparison, the Second World War caused a total of about 4 trillion US dollars in direct losses, although this is only equivalent to the entire GDP of China in a year, but if it is calculated at the price at that time, it is equivalent to the fiscal revenue of the national government axe at that time for 4,000 years. The direct economic losses caused to China by the aggressors alone are $100 billion, and the indirect economic losses are $500 billion.
