Chapter 65: The Pain of Shouichi Terauchi
After the results of the reorganization of the Inner Mongolia Military Region were reported to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, it caused a great sensation in the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, and the head of the headquarters was once again stunned by Han Yunhua and the entire Inner Mongolia Military Region's generosity. ”
Subsequently, Commander-in-Chief Zhu immediately forwarded this telegram from the Inner Mongolia Military Region to Yan'an, and soon Yan'an sent a congratulatory telegram to Han Yunhua and the entire Inner Mongolia Military Region, and asked Han Yunhua's subordinates to make persistent efforts to kill the enemy and serve the country.
Han Yunhua is worried about weapons and equipment, the weapons and equipment of more than a dozen regiments is not a small number, if calculated according to the weapons and equipment of the Japanese troops, Han Yunhua is still lacking at least two divisions and regiments.
Due to several successive battles, the losses suffered by the Japanese army at the hands of Han Yunhua were too great, so now the county towns and various strongholds occupied by the devils around the base area are extremely tightly defended, and some local devils who are not very important and difficult to defend have directly given up. Therefore, since the four-way siege of the devils was repulsed, Han Yunhua's department has not been able to obtain effective ammunition replenishment.
In desperation, Han Yunhua had no choice but to send a report to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, asking the headquarters to allow the Inner Mongolia Military Region to send people south to buy weapons and ammunition.
In view of the fact that the Inner Mongolia Military Region has repeatedly performed miraculous feats and made indelible contributions to the development of the Eighth Route Army, and at the same time has also made great sacrifices, the head of the headquarters agreed to Han Yunhua's request, but the money for the purchase of weapons and equipment needs to be raised by Han Yunhua himself.
Han Yunhua was overjoyed after receiving the instructions from the General Headquarters, the only thing the Inner Mongolia Military Region lacked now was money, and after more than half a year of development, the Inner Mongolia Military Region's money reserves were no less than a year's financial revenue of the Nationalist Government. The vast majority of the savings of many traitors and lackeys for many generations, the salaries carried by the Japanese soldiers, and even the wealth accumulated by the cottages of bandits and rogues have now gone into the warehouses of the Inner Mongolia Military Region.
After the change of defense of the various ministries was over, Han Yunhua called Qian Zhuangfei, the minister of intelligence, over, hoping that he could take people south to Shanghai and contact several arms dealers for the military region. and also told Qian Zhuangfei that as long as someone is willing to sell, money is not a problem. However, Han Yunhua demanded that the guns he purchased must be compatible with most of the bullets of the Japanese army and the national army, and if he could, Han Yunhua also wanted to buy several sets of bullet production lines.
Qian Zhuangfei would never hesitate about Han Yunhua's order, and after explaining his work, Qian Zhuangfei immediately took a platoon of soldiers to put on makeup and went south to Shanghai.
During this time, not only Han Yunhua did not have a good time, but the commander of the Japanese North China Front, General Terauchi Shouichi, also lived a very painful time, and the Japanese domestic base camp was very dissatisfied with Terauchi Shouichi's command some time ago, especially after the Fourth Route Army besieged Han Yunhua's headquarters and suffered a fiasco, Japan's criticism of Terauchi Shouichi reached a peak. Many people in the country are now clamoring for Binshan Gendai to succeed him as commander of the North China Front in the future, and that he will be transferred back to Japan to take up an idle post, a proposal that has not yet been approved by His Majesty the Emperor.
Although Terauchi is still the commander of the North China Front, his prestige in the army is far from what it used to be. After all, it is difficult for a defeated general to be recognized by the soldiers, even if the general is a high-ranking general.
Also reprimanded by the base camp were Lieutenant General Pan Liannuma, commander of the Corps stationed in Mongolia, and Major General Umeko Yamaguchi, head of the North China side of the Special High-Tech Branch. The Mongolian Corps has the responsibility to defend its territory, and with the emergence of such a large contingent of armed forces in its defense area, the Mongolian Corps must bear an unshirkable responsibility. The empire's encirclement and suppression of Han Yunhua's subordinates ended in failure several times, and the main responsibility for the mistakes in intelligence was to be borne by the main camp, so Major General Yamaguchi Umeko, the head of the North China side of the special high-tech department, was also severely reprimanded by the base camp.
At the same time, the base camp ordered the North China Front to come up with an effective plan to solve Han Yunhua's headquarters as soon as possible, because now Han Yunhua's headquarters has seriously threatened the security of the rear of the empire's occupied areas, restrained a large number of the empire's military forces, and overstretched the empire's military forces for attack.
On 26 April, the North China Front Command convened a temporary military meeting, which was attended by all remaining officers at the rank of major general and above, and General Terauchi Shouichi, commander of the North China Front, personally presided over the meeting.
As soon as the meeting began, Terauchi Shouichi read aloud the telegram of reprimand sent by the headquarters to himself and the entire North China Front, and then ordered the generals attending the meeting to come up with a solution to the Chahar erosion war as soon as possible. ,
"Your Excellency, Commander, for the defeat in the war some time ago, we have to bear a large part of the responsibility. Due to our mistakes, we seriously underestimated the true strength of Han Yunhua's subordinates, which led to heavy losses for the front army, and I am here to solemnly apologize to you and the front army. After Yamaguchi Umeko finished speaking, she gave Terauchi Shouichi a solemn bow of 90 degrees.
Although Terauchi Shouichi was indeed a little dissatisfied with Tegaoke, he didn't dare to really accept the gift of Yamaguchi Plum, so he hurriedly got up and said: "Miss Yamaguchi, please don't say that, the fiasco in the battle some time ago was completely caused by the command mistake of the commander of my front army, and the dispersion of troops allowed the Shina army to break through, which led to the complete erosion of the entire battle situation to the point where it is now out of control. ”
Umeko Yamaguchi also knew that Shouichi Terauchi was afraid of her father, but as a proud intelligence genius, an excellent soldier who would be promoted to major general at the age of twenty-four, she would not and disdained to shirk her responsibility.
"Your Excellency Commander, I think that Han Yunhua's department is fully fledgling, and it will be difficult to completely eliminate this powerful force for the time being, especially it is difficult to defeat them from the outside, so I suggest that Your Excellency the Commander send someone to penetrate the interior of Han Yunhua's department, and then flank it inside and outside, so as to completely remove the threat of Han Yunhua's department." Yamaguchi's eyes flashed with a terrifying essence, and she gritted her teeth and said fiercely.
Terauchi Shouichi pondered for a while and did not speak, and Lieutenant General Naosaburo Gangbe, chief of staff of the North China Front Army on the side, looked at Yamaguchi Umeko and said slowly: "Miss Yamaguchi, although your suggestion is very good, it is difficult to implement, and there are many problems. First of all, how to break into the Chinese army, we also sent some Chinese Imperial Cooperative Army to Han Yunhua as undercover agents, but the result was either found out by them and shot, or assimilated. As for the imperial warriors who were proficient in Chinese, none of them could stay in Han Yunhua's troops for a month. ”
Umeko Yamaguchi glanced at Lieutenant General Naosaburo Naosaburo with disdain and said, "That's just because of your strategic mistakes, I guarantee that our men will be able to completely penetrate the Shina Army this time, but I need the full cooperation of the front army." ”
Shouichi Terauchi slapped the table one by one, and said with a serious but firm expression: "As long as Miss Yamaguchi's people can penetrate the interior of Han Yunhua's department, I will let the front army cooperate with you at all costs." Please, I hope you can completely wash away the shame that Han Yunhua's subordinates have brought to the front army. ”
Lama Mountain is a small hill near Zhangjiakou, the mountain is not high, but it is very famous in the local area, because there is a group of righteous bandits on the mountain.
In these years, bandits are bandits, so how can they say that they are righteous bandits? But then again, the bandits on this Lama Mountain are really different from other bandits, although the bandits on Lama Mountain also make a living by robbing, but the objects of their robberies are very different from other bandits. Because the bandits on Lama Mountain only robbed the Japanese, never robbed the Eighth Route Army and the National Army, let alone the nearby people and passers-by.
It has been ten months since the start of the all-out war between China and Japan, and the number of Japanese who died at the hands of bandits on Lama Mountain was not 1,000 but 800. But fortunately, Lama Mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the nearby terrain is complicated, and the devils have sent people to encircle and suppress them many times, but they have returned with heavy casualties. In addition, the number of bandits on Lama Mountain is not large, and the threat to the devils is really limited, so such a large casualty is mainly caused when attacking Lama Mountain, usually the bandits on Lama Mountain set up two heavy machine guns on the mountain road and send a dozen people to withstand the attack of a large group of devils in a day. In view of the fact that even the gains and losses outweigh the losses even if they are to conquer Lama Mountain, the Japanese army has always turned a blind eye to the bandits on Lama Mountain, only monitoring but not sending troops to attack.
On this day, Liu Laohei, the scoop leader of the bandits in Lama Mountain, received a report from a nearby eyeliner, saying that a team of more than 200 devils was escorting a large number of supplies and some prisoner vans to Lama Mountain.
Liu Laohei repeatedly verified, and after getting a definite answer that this was not a bait that the devils withdrew, he immediately counted the people and horses, prepared to go down the mountain to kill these devils, and robbed this batch of supplies.
There are more than 500 bandits on Lama Mountain, all of them are outlaws, desperately fighting one by one, and they are not afraid of death when they fight, so the combat effectiveness of Liu Laohei's bandit army is still very strong. Moreover, there are many capable people among the bandits, so this bandit is actually a bit like the Saber Special Operations Brigade in Han Yunhua's hands, but it is not at the same level as the Saber Special Operations Brigade in terms of personnel quality and weapons and equipment.
With more than 500 strong bandits, he attacked the infantry of a reinforced squadron of devils, and the result was obvious, Liu Laohei returned to Lama Mountain at six o'clock in the evening, along with a large number of military supplies and more than a dozen prisoners who were imprisoned by devils in wooden prisoner cars.
After questioning, Liu Laohei learned that these "prisoners" were all low-ranking officers of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party who had been captured by devils on the battlefield, and there were two very beautiful women among them, and the destination of their escort this time was Datong, Shanxi.
