When Mr. Peng received the telegram from the Mengji Anti-Japanese Detachment, he was discussing the war in northern Hebei with Liu Bocheng, Deng Lao, Zuo Quan and others. While discussing the critical moment, a staff officer walked in and said loudly: "Report, the emergency military situation of the Mengji Anti-Japanese Detachment." ”

Mr. Peng said: "Read! ”

The staff officer read aloud: "............. our unit was attacked by the Yamamoto Brigade of the Takeda Wing of the Chahar Dispatch Corps of the Yue Army....... and completely annihilated a complete reinforced brigade of the invading enemy, killing 16 officers below Yamamoto Shiro Osa, and killing 1,255 ordinary soldiers of the Yue Army, and captured a lot. Our troops suffered nearly 800 casualties, but most of them were wounded, and the number of dead soldiers was 188.........."

After listening to the battle report of the Mengji Anti-Japanese Detachment, all the senior generals of the Eighth Route Army present were stunned, and Mr. Peng settled down and laughed: "Okay, good!" It's really good, the strength of a regiment is completely annihilated, and a complete reinforced brigade is really good, hahaha! ”

Zuo Quan took a closer look at the battle report and asked: "Mr. Peng, the 115th Division fought the Pingxingguan victory to eliminate more than 1,000 people in the Yue Army, but the 115th Division used the entire division to lay such a brilliant record, and the Mengji Anti-Japanese Detachment only had less than one regiment of men, which seems a little incredible, I think this battle report needs to be verified." ”

Mr. Peng thought for a while and said: "Han Yunhua used to be Vice Chairman Zhou's guard company commander, I am not very familiar with him, but Vice Chairman Zhou values him very much. After the accident of the new regiment some time ago, Vice Chairman Zhou asked him a lot, and Han Yunhua didn't have the courage to lie about his exploits. I know Shen Yuquan, the political commissar of the Mengji Anti-Japanese Detachment, who used to be a senior staff officer of our headquarters and was very good at fighting, but was later transferred to the 115th Division as deputy commander. Some time ago, considering that the new regiment, that is, this Mengji anti-Japanese detachment, lacked military and political cadres, so where to transfer him to be the political commissar, I still know Shen Yuquan well, and he will definitely not lie about his military exploits, so there should be no problem with the real surname of this war report. I think eighty percent of what they eliminated is the newly formed second-line garrison of the army, and the combat effectiveness is not strong, plus they have a geographical advantage, I heard that Han Yunhua, this kid, made a lot of money last time he hit the county, and the weapons and equipment of the troops have changed, so he can make such a record, more than 8,000 grenades exploded together, this kid is so generous! Counselor Wang, go and find out for me where this Yamamoto brigade came from? ”

After a while, the operational staff officer walked in and reported: "Deputy commander-in-chief, I have just checked, some time ago, in order to cooperate with the Sakagaki Division in the operation at Pingxingguan, the General Headquarters issued Order No. 120: The Kwantung Army "will be under the command of the Chahar Garrison Army again" and should "facilitate the above operations." And this Yamamoto Brigade was transferred to the 15th Mixed Brigade of the Chahar Garrison at this time, so it is said that the Yamamoto Brigade was originally subordinate to the Kwantung Army. ”

"Kwantung Army!" , Mr. Peng asked with some gaffe: "Are you sure it's the real Kwantung Army?" ”

The operational staff officer replied: "We have captured a large number of confidential documents of the Japanese army, including about this Yamamoto brigade, so the Yamamoto brigade should be from the Kwantung Army. ”

Liu Bocheng also said: "This Chahar Dispatch Corps was originally subordinate to the Kwantung Army, and its full name was the Chahar Dispatch Corps of the Kwantung Army, but now it has become a combat unit with a regional surname of Reading Power, but it has the same roots and broken ties with the Kwantung Army, so it is not an exaggeration to say that the entire Chahar Dispatch Corps is the Kwantung Army." ”

"What a blessing! It seems that the predicament in northern Hebei has fallen, and the army has given us an eight-way siege, and we have completely muddied up this pool of water, so I think I will let Han Yunhua and them send troops to the front line of Yanggao and Tianzhen to force the army in Wei County to come back to help. Then he ordered the 120th Division to send troops to Dai County, threatening Ying County, and the eight-way siege was full of loopholes, and I saw how Shouyi in his temple surrounded and suppressed my Jinchaji base area....... "After Peng's order, the Mengji anti-Japanese detachment will go out of Jinbei.

In addition to the commendation, Yan Xishan, commander of the Second Theater of the Kuomintang Army, also rewarded Han Yunhua's detachment with 5,000 yuan. Even Chairman Jiang, who was far away in Yucheng, was shocked, and said to He Yingqin who sent the battle report: "You go and check, is this Han Yunhua a Huangpu student?" At least there is no such person in the first three phases of Huangpu, see if he can be pulled over to serve the party-state, what future can he have with the bandit army, his detachment leader is a regiment commander level, tell him, as long as he is willing to serve the party-state, let him be a brigade commander or deputy division commander in the Central Army........."

When the commendation order from the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army was sent to Daqingshan, Ye Baoguo and the others were stunned, but they didn't expect that after a hard night, they completely annihilated a reinforced brigade of the Kwantung Army, which was worth it.

After reading the order issued by the headquarters, Han Yunhua, Ye Baoguo, Shen Yuquan, and the four battalion commanders held a short meeting together, and decided that Ye Baoguo would lead the four battalions to stay in the base area, and Han Yunhua and Shen Yuquan would lead the first battalion, the second battalion, the third battalion, the guard company, the heavy machine gun company, the cavalry company, and the artillery platoon to advance into northern Shanxi. The remaining troops were responsible for defending the Daqingshan base area and preventing retaliation from the Japanese army. After the victory in the defense of Daqingshan and the second attack on the county seat, more than 700 young and middle-aged people joined the army. Therefore, while Ye Baoguo was responsible for staying in Daqingshan, he was also responsible for taking care of the wounded and forming the 5th battalion and artillery battalion.

Han Yunhua let the troops rest for two days, mainly to replenish the troops. The number of casualties in the Daqingshan defense unit was not large, but there were many single serious wounded, and each battalion had wounded who could not participate in the battle, so in the past two days, the lack of numbers in each battalion was replenished, and at the same time, 30 heavy machine guns were added to each battalion.

At 8 o'clock in the evening of December 4, Han Yunhua took the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd battalions, a guard company, a heavy machine gun company, a cavalry company, and an artillery platoon, totaling more than 1,800 people, as well as a large number of weapons and ammunition, and rushed to Tianzhen County, more than 300 miles away, at nightfall.

Before the troops were mobilized, Han Yunhua sent the combat mission of sending troops to northern Jinbei to all battalions, and in Han Yunhua's original words, he was going to be a firefighter and fight fires for the 115th Division.

Originally, in order to strengthen the unified strategic guidance of the war of aggression against China, the aggressors established the headquarters ------- base camp of the Supreme Command on November 17, 1937. At the same time, a joint meeting of the base camp and the head of the political axe was also established. On 24 November, the base camp held its first imperial meeting to listen to and approve the combat mission against China formulated by the General Staff Headquarters, and decided to first carry out a "sweep" of the "remnants" of the Central [***] squadron in the occupied areas in North China, in an effort to stabilize these areas, and to prepare to transfer troops to seize the entire territory of Shandong and expand the results of the Battle of Shusonghu.

Accordingly, General Terauchi Shouichi, commander of the North China Front of the Chinese Army, decided to use the 10th Division of the Second Army to cooperate with the Fifth Division to attack Shandong, and to use the main force of the First Army to coordinate with the Chahar Corps to carry out a large-scale encirclement and suppression of the Eighth Route Army, which was operating in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei border region, northwestern Shanxi, and southeastern Shanxi, which seriously threatened the safety of its rear communication lines, in an attempt to eliminate or expel the Eighth Route Army on the spot, so as to ensure the safety of its rear, especially the main railway communication lines such as Pinghan, Tongpu, Pingsui, and Zhengtai.

On November 24, the 5th, 14th, and 109th Divisions and the Chahar Corps of the Kwantung Army, with a total of more than 20,000 troops, equipped with cavalry, artillery, tanks, and aircraft, dispatched from the Pinghan, Tongpu, Pingsui, and Zhengtai railways to besiege the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei border area in eight ways, in an attempt to destroy or expel the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army entrenched in the area on the spot, and destroy the newly established Jin-Cha-Ji anti-Japanese base area.

In order to cooperate with the instructions of the central government, in mid-October 1937, that is, not long after the victory of Pingxingguan, the 115th Division was divided into two and led Chen Guanglu to the south to return to Niangziguan. Nie Rongzhen used Yang Chengwu's reading regiment, cavalry battalion, teaching team, and the special service regiment of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters with a total of more than 3,000 people to create the Jinchaji base area.

On November 13, with the approval of the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei base area was based on the troops and working groups in the northern, western, southern, and eastern regions, and set up the First Army Division, the Second Army Division, the Third Army Division, and the Fourth Army Division, and each military division was reorganized into detachments, with each detachment (equivalent to a regiment) having jurisdiction over 3 brigades, and each brigade (equivalent to a battalion) having jurisdiction over 3~4 squadrons.

Therefore, now Nie Rongzhen has only more than 3,000 people in his hands, and there is a great shortage of weapons and ammunition. Therefore, Terauchi Shouyi's move can be regarded as hitting Mr. Peng's waist.

Now the army is blooming in all directions, and the Eighth Route Army has limited strength and is passive everywhere, plus the combat effectiveness of the various units of the Eighth Route Army is worse than that of the army, and it is often a few regiments that dare to confront a brigade of the army, so Terauchi Shouichi can be regarded as giving the deputy commander-in-chief a heavenly card.

In the face of the frenzied and rampant offensive of the Yue Army, Nie Rongzhen, commander of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters and the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, knew very well that most of the newly formed units of the Military Region, except for some of the old backbone units, had no combat experience, and the form was quite grim.

On 23 November, Nie Rongzhen made the following judgment on the enemy's situation in a telegram to "Mao (Zedong), Zhu (De), Peng (Dehuai), Ren (Bishi), Zhou (Enlai)" and the leaders of various military divisions: "Because the enemy has penetrated deep into our territory, the rear line of contact has been extended, the Eighth Route Army has been constantly attacking and harassing, and the righteous army in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei base area has been divided and has made quite a big noise, so it is necessary for the enemy to clear the contact line and consolidate the rear road. Therefore, the enemy may start an offensive on our Jin-Cha-Ji base area, first occupy Manchu (Cheng), Wan (County), Tang (County), Qu (Yang), Xin (Tang), Ling (Shou) and other counties in the east, and drive our troops into the mountainous areas and leave the Pinghan Road. In the west, there was an attempt to attack Wutai and Yuxian and divide them into strongholds.

In light of this enemy situation, the order given to Han Yunhua by the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army was to focus on guerrilla tactics and take the Daqingshan Mengji Anti-Hebei Detachment as the backbone, vigorously expand its establishment, and use the newly formed guerrilla armed forces to ambush, flank, and night attacks on the enemy in northern Shanxi and northwestern Hebei, vigorously contain the enemy, force the enemy in Yanggao County and Tianzhen County to come to the rescue, and the main force to seek opportunities to destroy the enemy on the outer line.

The anti-Eighth Route Siege in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Base Area was a classic example of guerrilla warfare in later generations, and Han Yunhua did not study much when he was studying at the National University of Defense Technology, so he knew much more than the Eighth Route Army Headquarters and Nie Rongzhen, commander of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region.

Han Yunhua knew that the siege of the Eighth Route was mainly based on the Fifth Division, the Fourteenth Division, the 109th Division, the Chahar Dispatch Corps of the Kwantung Army, and the 26th Division that joined later, with the Kwantung Army Chahar Dispatch Corps in Yanggao County and Tianzhen County as the first route, the Kwantung Army Chahar Dispatch Corps in Huailai County and Zhulu County as the Second Route Army, and the 26th Division occupying Ying County as the Third Route Army.

At the same time, the army also used the 109th Division stationed in Yuanping as the Fourth Route Army, which was mainly used to attack the 344th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army in Wutai. The other part of the 109th Division in Shouyang and Pingding was used as the Fifth Route Army, which was mainly used to attack the Third Army Division of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region that was developing in the area of Qingtang Town, Yuxian County. The 1st 5th Division stationed in Shijiazhuang and the 14th Division stationed in Xinle and Dingxian were used as the 6th and 7th Route Armies respectively, and the two Route Armies were mainly used to attack the Eighth Route Army that developed in the Lingshou, Xintang, and Goyang areas.

The last road was most of the 14th Division stationed in Baoding and Yi County, mainly attacking the Eighth Route Army in Mancheng and the source area. The Eighth Route Army formed a large encirclement around the entire Jin-Cha-Ji base area. (Robbery: Recommendation tickets, monthly tickets, and banknotes are all taken out!! Tell me the password!! ）
