Chapter 364: Battle of North China (11)

In fact, from the bottom of her heart, Han Yunqian was reluctant to serve as the head of the guard, because she knew very well the strength of her brother as a commander. Others don't know it, isn't she clear, the most effective and mysterious special combat team in the Inner Mongolia Military Region was trained by her brother himself. Isn't it a person who has the ability to train the special operations team to protect himself, obviously he, the head of the guard regiment, is here for an ornament.

However, she can't stand the order of the military region, and no one can resist once the red official seal is stamped, and besides, she was directly transferred from the head of a local security regiment to the head of the guard regiment, so she couldn't help but come.

In fact, just as Han Yunqian expected, after coming to the guard regiment, she found that her responsibilities changed from a war commander to her brother's full-time nanny. However, when she saw that her brother was doing it all night, and it was common for her to not fit her eyes for three days or two, she felt distressed. Seeing her brother working so hard, and thinking about her sister-in-law who was waiting far behind and the little niece who could just talk, Yun Qian's heart didn't feel so aggrieved.

So when she was just transferred to the military region as the commander of this so-called guard regiment, Han Yunqian was full of scratches, and twice reported to the military region to apply to the front-line troops, in Han Yunqian's original words: "Even if she is given an infantry battalion commander, she is willing!" "But the leaders of the military region have their plans, she Han Yunqian is not an ordinary person, once something happens, no one can afford it. She was asked to go to Qingshui River because she was afraid that something would happen to her, so she was transferred to the relatively safe Qingshui River, after all, there were not many troops around Qingshui River, and most of them were some second-line garrisons.

But no one thought that this thin little girl had laid a lot of foundation in the Qingshui River, and like her brother, it only took half a year to raise a large army of four or five thousand people, and her combat effectiveness was also extremely strong. Although it is not as good as Han Yunhua's record in Shandong, it is much more brilliant than other comrades in the military region.

But now that Han Yunqian has also figured it out, it's not bad to be the head of the guard for her brother, at least he won't worry about his brother's safety, and she doesn't feel at ease when she hands over her brother to others, and her sister-in-law is even more worried. This time she returned to Sui to see her sister-in-law, only to see that her sister-in-law was now pulling her little niece alone, and she was still pregnant with one in her belly, and she was also very happy.

The sister-in-law is very worried about the safety of her brother, and some time ago, the little devil sent several small troops with strong combat effectiveness and proficient in Chinese to disguise themselves as the Eighth Route Army to attack and assassinate the cadres of the Inner Mongolia Military Region, and many cadres with low surnames were killed, including several regiment commanders and political commissars, so the safety of her brother has become a heart problem for her and her sister-in-law.

Now that she has entrusted her brother's safety to her, she and her sister-in-law are very relieved, and at the same time, they can take care of their brother's life nearby. Otherwise, with my brother's irregular life, there will be physical problems sooner or later.

is also very familiar with the black charcoal head Han Yunqian in front of him, he is the Minister of Internal Security and the head of the intelligence department of the military region, it can be said that he is his brother's right-hand man, and he usually treats her very well. Han Yunqian is also a girl with a reasonable surname, she knows that if there is no extremely important matter, Qian Zhuangfei will not come to disturb Han Yunhua's rest, so although she does not want anyone to disturb her brother's rest, she is also worried that it will delay the battle on the front line, and finally Han Yunqian turned around and went into the house to wake up Han Yunhua.

To tell the truth, Han Yunhua himself did not sleep well at this pass, and now the army of more than 100,000 troops is attacking the Inner Mongolia Military Region with all their might, although Han Yunhua is confident that he will repel the enemy's attack, but the final result depends on the battle situation on the front line. If the battle situation on the front line is not strong, no matter how powerful he Han Yunhua is, he will be a paper tiger.

In the haze, Han Yunhua seemed to hear someone calling him, and suddenly he sat up straight from the bed with a spirit, which startled Yun Qian, who came to call him.

Han Yunhua looked at Yun Qian intently, so he asked in a low voice, "Little sister, how long have I been sleeping, there is nothing going on outside, right?" ”

"Brother, you've only slept for less than two hours, and it's already a quarter past four in the morning. But now that black charcoal head is waiting for you outside the door, saying that there is an urgent battle report that needs to be reviewed by you, so I woke you up. Yun Qian said dissatisfiedly while folding the quilt for Han Yunhua.

"Black charcoal?" Immediately, Han Yunhua thought of who the black charcoal head in the little sister's mouth was, and in the army, only Han Yunqian was not afraid to dare to call Qian Zhuangfei the black charcoal head, although Qian Zhuangfei's head was indeed very black.

"Hehe, little sister, don't keep calling people black charcoal, what do you say are comrades who are older than you and me, and they are also the leaders of the military region, so it doesn't have a good impact on you to call people black charcoal like this." Han Yunhua said helplessly, Han Yunhua had never said anything like that to Yun Qian before.

"I know brother, why are you becoming more and more mother-in-law and mother-in-law, how is it that married men are less and less like men, forget it, I still won't tell you, that old comrade with a black charcoal head is outside the door now, dear big brother, do you see it or not." Han Yunqian said depressedly.

Han Yunhua rolled his eyes and said, "See, you hurry up and invite Comrade Qian Zhuangfei in, he must have something urgent, otherwise he wouldn't have come here to see me so late, hurry up." ”

"I know, brother, don't say that I am in charge of the wide, like you, you often do not rest for three or two days, and you only eat a little miscellaneous grains to eat, your little body will have problems sooner or later, on the contrary, my sister-in-law has to say that I can, you weigh the way yourself. After saying that, he didn't look back and went out.

Yun Qian said that Han Yunhua did not understand, but the military region is now at a critical juncture of life and death, and if this battle is successfully fought, the situation in North China will immediately change its surname, and although it is too early to completely liberate North China, it is still possible to completely reverse the military situation in North China in which the enemy is strong and we are weak. So I can't help Han Yunhua not to care. And this year, although the year in Saibei is not bad, the crops are growing well, and they have not been harmed by the devils. It is already predictable to get a bumper harvest, but now is the time when the grain stored in the military region was transferred by Han Yunhua to the 120th Division and more than half of the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, so the grain in the Inner Mongolia Military Region is not sufficient now, so the troops on the front line are fed on coarse grains and miscellaneous grains like Han Yunhua.

Qian Zhuangfei had already heard the conversation between the two brothers and sisters in the house, but he smiled bitterly except for a bitter smile, this little sister of the commander he could be regarded as knowledgeable, and he had the momentum of a commander. Although she is only a small regiment commander now, there are seventy or eighty regiment commanders like Han Yunqian in the Inner Mongolia Military Region, but there are a few who dare to talk to Han Yunhua like this.

Seeing that Han Yunhua asked him to go in, Qian Zhuangfei was not reserved and pretentious, and strode in with his briefcase.

"Report to the commander, there was a call from Zhangbei, saying that more than 11,000 people of the Xishiyuan Brigade of the Shanxia Division of the Army invaded Zhangbei County on August 15, and the 77th Reading Division, the 1st Guard Division, and the 1st Field Division of our Military Region set up an ambush in Dashuiquan Village, Zhangbei County, and after seven hours of hard fighting, our army completely annihilated the Xishiyuan Division, killing 7,462 elite members of the division, capturing 2,921 prisoners, and seizing a lot of guns and ammunition............

After listening to Qian Zhuangfei's report, Han Yunhua was overjoyed and said loudly: "Very good, send a telegram of congratulations to the former enemy headquarters in eastern Hebei, congratulate them on their great victory in my own name and in the name of the military region, and at the same time order Comrade Chen Geng to immediately escort the captured Yue army back to Xinghe County." In addition, the logistics department was asked to allocate 500,000 rounds of ammunition and 3,000 rounds of artillery shells to the former enemy headquarters in eastern Hebei as a reward. ”

The Inner Mongolia Military Region is one thing different from the other units of the Eighth Route Army in that the troops who win a battle will not only receive spiritual rewards, but also receive material rewards. This kind of material reward will generally not be money, but the military district command will give rewards according to the things that are in short supply of each unit at the moment, such as weapons and ammunition, horses, food, etc., and sometimes even a technical branch such as an infantry battalion or a cavalry battalion and an artillery battalion.

The Dashuiquan ambush battle was a judgment made by the former enemy headquarters in eastern Hebei according to their respective battlefield situations, so Han Yunhua did not know anything about this, but Han Yunhua was very happy about this, he was in charge of the previous Inner Mongolia Military Region alone, so the atmosphere of the troops and the ability to fight alone were not strong. He is the only one who has an all-round hand, and if something happens to him, then the entire military region will be in a panic. Now, as long as the troops below, especially the cadres at the grassroots level, learn how to lead the troops, then he, the commander of the military region, will be much easier to do.

In addition to the political commissar Zuo Da, there are also Yang Chengwu, Chen Geng, Yang Ruihua, Li Dayong, Ye Baoguo, Guo Weidong, Liu Mingyuan, and so on, and the second batch of senior cadres also include Jiang Yunshan, Wang Jian, Zhang Mingliang, Tong Jiayong, Aolige, Wang Zhifu, Ju Fei, and so on, and it can be said that the entire Inner Mongolia Military Region has now far surpassed other units of the Eighth Route Army in the training of military and political cadres.

The former enemy headquarters in eastern Hebei fired the first shot of the North China General Battle, which was a rare start for the entire Inner Mongolia Military Region and was of vital importance to the improvement of the morale of all units.

Overnight, Han Yunhua reported the latest progress of the battle in eastern Hebei to Yan'an and the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, and also made a report and commendation to the whole army, and recorded the collective first-class merit to all the troops participating in the Dashuiquan ambush.

On the same day, General Binshan Yuan, who learned the news, sent the air force that could be used by the entire North China Front Army to retaliate and bomb Jining, Guisui, Chengde and other large cities controlled by the Inner Mongolia Military Region, causing huge casualties and immeasurable economic losses to the Inner Mongolia Military Region.

At the same time, General Binshan Yuan, who was furious at the same time, also ordered all the participating troops gathered in Beiping to immediately rush to the designated position, and the whole army marched in unison, and must join forces in the Chengde area at the end of August.

On 16 August, the 10th Regiment and the 21st Division of the 2nd Division of the Chinese Army rushed to Zhangjiakou by train, and formed the First Attack Group with the Shanxia Division, which had suffered heavy losses, and at the same time the 20th Division, the 26th Division, the Cavalry Group, and the 2nd Brigade of the Chinese Garrison Army set out from Beiping, passed through Zunhua, Tangshan and other places, and united with the main forces of the 2nd Division and the 4th Division of the Kwantung Army stationed in the northeast of the Chinese Army, and attacked the Central [***] team in eastern Hebei from the north and south, and at the same time, the main force of the 1st Army stationed in Shanxi also went north to Datong. The middle [***] team on the front line of Fengzhen, Yanggao, and Tianzhen formed a frontal offensive situation. For a time, the whole of North China was turbulent, and a war was about to break out.

At the same time as the troops on the northern front of the Chinese army were dispatched to the second brigade of the central line, the second brigade of the Chinese army was also assembled, and under the leadership of the brigade commander, Lieutenant General Abe Norihide, a total of more than 20,000 people marched towards the defense area of the Central Hebei Military Region and the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region. The 32nd Division, the 35th Division, and the 3rd and 4th Mixed Brigades of the Reading Army in Nanxian County also completed the assembly, and the forward came directly to Handan.

At the same time, Nie Rongzhen, commander of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, and Lu Zhengying, commander of the Jizhong Military Region, also sent a telegram to Han Yunhua, saying that they were all ready to counter-sweep, and the Inner Mongolia Military Region could let go of the fight.

After receiving the telegram from Nie Rongzhen and Lu Zhengying, Han Yunhua immediately ordered all units to take their places, not to take into account the troops in other directions, and to directly deal with the devils in front of them, and he and other leaders of the military region would coordinate and direct the battle of various units in the middle.

This time, Han Yunhua really delegated the command of the front line to the command of the former enemy, and he only needed to mediate in the play, and the specific battle was handed over to the commander-in-chief of each command center. The predecessor of the First Field Division was the Eighth Brigade of Reading Li of the Inner Mongolia Military Region, and the brigade commander is the current division commander Li Dayong. The 1st Field Division is the unit with the largest number of troops in the Inner Mongolia Military Region except for the 300th Division, but it is a pity that Li Dayong now only has the old foundation of his original Eighth Brigade at hand, and the supplementary column transferred by Han Yunhua to Li Dayong was intercepted by Master Chen in Zhangbei, and he could not reach eastern Hebei for a day or two.

The main forces of three divisions, one brigade and two other divisions of the army attacked eastern Hebei together, which was the first time in the history of the Anti-Japanese War in eastern Hebei, and Li Dayong also faced so many Japanese troops for the first time. However, Li Dayong is not worried that he will not be able to hold on, now although the strength in his hands is far less than the army, but he still has a trump card army in his hand that has not been used, that is a ruthless move that Han Yunhua placed in Jidong a year ago, and he is really not ready to ask that army to go out of the mountain. In addition, there are more than 5,000 people of the Baosen Regiment and more than 13,000 people of the local security regiment in eastern Jidong, and at the same time, two divisions of troops are rushing to eastern Hebei.

However, Li Dayong knew that the best way to deal with this large-scale attack of the Yue army was to lure the enemy into the depths, clear the wilderness, and then concentrate the main force to encircle and annihilate the main force, and at the same time jump to the enemy's outer line with a large force, so as not to be surrounded and annihilated by the heavy troops of the Yue army.

The idea is not bad, but the Yue army has learned well this time, and the Yue army attacking eastern Hebei this time set off from the five directions of Zunhua, Tangshan, Changli, Funing, and Qinhuangdao, and the Fifth Route Army has been killing Li Dayong's Qian'an at a very slow speed.

Before Li Dayong's infantry regiment in Macheng, 20 kilometers south of Luanxian County, with the Yamada Wing of the 10th Division of the Yue Army did a tough battle, the two sides launched a desperate struggle on the front line of Macheng, and fought to the death for a whole day and a night, but unfortunately no one could help anyone, and finally because the main force of the 10th Division of the Yue Army bypassed the defensive position of the 1st regiment, detoured back behind the 1st regiment, and defeated the Luanxian Security Regiment that protected the flank of the 1st regiment, and the regiment had no choice but to retreat to the county seat of Luanxian County to continue to block the Yue army.

However, Li Dayong was not a good match, at the same time that the army defeated the Eighth Route Army in Luanxian, more than 5,000 people under Bao Sen's department abandoned Lulong County, and after emptying the entire Lulong County, they moved to the mountains near Liutian Gezhuang 25 kilometers south of Lulong, Changli, Funing, Funing, and rushed to Lulong, and the two armies were ready to meet in Lulong, and then successfully take Lulong County.

However, Li Dayong is out of the way, with more than 5,000 people in Bao Sen's department, it is impossible to hold Lulong under the siege of more than 10,000 people in the Yue army, although Lu Long's geographical location is extremely important, but Li Dayong, who has followed Han Yunhua for so many years, knows very well the truth that everyone can survive if he loses the city, so he ordered Bao Sen's department to exchange a Lulong empty city for an infantry wing of the Yue army.

Sure enough, the Yue army did not expect that the [***] team would abandon the important county town of Lulong, and some time ago, Bao Sen's department threatened to build Lulong City into a large military fortress, and moved the entire Lulong City into an empty city under the pretext. It was precisely because of Bao Sen's series of undisguised big moves that the Yue army was confused, so the Yue army did not expect that Bao Sen's troops would flee without a fight, let alone that Bao Sen would ambush the Yamada United on the road to Lulong.

So when the gunshots rang out, the devils of the Fourth Division were stunned at once, although the wing commander of the army was not bad, he had a lot of combat experience, and he did not panic at the first time when he was ambushed, but organized the soldiers to fight back bravely. And the effect is also very good, but it is precisely because this military Dazuo jumped too happily, so he was targeted by the snipers of Bao Sen's department, and soon Yamada Dazuo became a dead field Dazuo, after a headshot, the Chinese sniper still did not transfer his position, but by the way, the deputy captain of the Yamada United team and the key officer of the newspaper also sniped to death.

As soon as the main officer died, the resistance and fighting spirit of this already terrible infantry wing of the Yue army quickly collapsed, and after two hours of fierce fighting, all but 200 of the infantry wing of the Yue army escaped, and all the rest were captured. At the cost of paying a county seat, Bao Sen's headquarters completely annihilated the Yamada Wing of the Fourth Division of the Yue Army, killed 1,324 Yu soldiers, captured 1,876 Yu soldiers, and captured a lot of weapons and ammunition............
