If the 129th Division can help contain the army in the southeast of Shanxi, it will greatly reduce the pressure on Han Yunhua's department, so Mr. Peng thinks it is necessary to listen to the opinions of Han Yunhua and others, after all, this time it is Han Yunhua and the troops under his command to carry the beam, and now Han Yunhua does not belong to the battle sequence of the Eighth Route Army, it is one of the troops directly under the Yan'an Military Commission.

To put it mildly, the orders of the troops directly under the Eighth Route Army Headquarters are to listen to the Xuan or not to listen to the tune, and it is not good to say, Han Yunhua can give or ignore the face of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters. Therefore, Mr. Peng did not dare to order Han Yunhua excessively, and it was necessary to ask Han Yunhua's opinion. This is not to say that Han Yunhua's authority is so great that even President Peng has to give face, but as a far-sighted leader, he has a necessary respect for his subordinates, a way to do things for others, and an excellent quality.

After receiving a call back from the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, Han Yunhua thought a lot, there were pros and cons for the 129th Division to participate in the war, but in general, the advantages outweighed the disadvantages. The strength of the 129th Division Han Yunhua is very clear, the development history of the 129th Division, the 115th Division, and the 120th Division is a compulsory course for military cadets, and Han Yunhua also knows that not long ago, Liu Bocheng reorganized all the regular troops of the 129th Division.

The intelligence department of the Inner Mongolia Military Region is now developing extremely rapidly, and its sphere of influence has expanded to the entire North China region. Although it is not yet possible to monitor Central China, the intelligence and reconnaissance capabilities of the entire northern region are no worse than those of [***], the Kuomintang, and the special high-tech branch of the Chinese army. Not long ago, Qian Zhuangfei sent confidential information to Han Yunhua, saying that the 129th Division was reorganized into 9 brigades: the 385th Brigade (Brigade Commander Chen Xilian, Political Commissar Xie Fuzhi, under the jurisdiction of the 769th, 13th, and 14th Regiments), the 386th Brigade (Brigade Commander and Political Commissar Wang Xinting, with jurisdiction over the 772nd, 16th, 17th, and 18th Regiments), the new 1st Brigade (Brigade Commander Wei Jie, Political Commissar Tang Tianji, under the jurisdiction of the 1st and 2nd Regiments), and the new 4th Brigade (Brigade Commander Xu Shenji, Political Commissar Wu Fushan, with jurisdiction over the 771st, 10th, and 11th Regiment), the new 7th Brigade (Brigade Commander Yi Liangpin, Political Commissar Wen Jianwu, under the jurisdiction of the 19th, 20th, and 21st Regiments), the new 8th Brigade (Brigade Commander Zhang Weihan, Political Commissar Xiao Yongzhi, under the jurisdiction of the 22nd, 23rd, and 24th Regiments), the new 9th Brigade (Brigade Commander Gui Gansheng, with jurisdiction over the 25th, 26th, and 27th Regiments), the new 10th Brigade (Brigade Commander Fan Zixia, Political Commissar Lai Jifa, under the jurisdiction of the 28th, 29th, and 30th Regiments), the new 11th Brigade (Brigade Commander Yin Xianbing, Political Commissar Huang Zhentang, under the jurisdiction of the 31st, The 32nd and 33rd regiments), the divisional special service regiment was changed to the 34th regiment. At the same time as reorganizing the troops, it also readjusted the organization and division of military regions and military subdivisions, abolished the Shanxi-Hebei-Henan Military Region, and established the Taihang Military Region (the organs of the military region were concurrently served by the divisional organs), the Taiyue Military Region (concurrently with the headquarters of the 386th Brigade), and the Southern Hebei Military Region.

What is the concept of 9 brigades, even if there are only 5,000 people in a brigade, the 129th Division has nearly 50,000 people. Coupled with the strong support of Han Yunhua's department in recent years, the weapons and equipment of the various units of the Eighth Route Army are not comparable to the Eighth Route Army in history, can the weapons and equipment of the main force like the 129th Division be inferior?

The participation of 50,000 troops in the war can greatly delay the time for the army to go north, and how much can Han Yunhua's department do during this time, Han Yunhua knows in his heart that although the 129th Division's participation in the battle will inevitably lead to a larger-scale counterattack by the army, the success rate of Han Yunhua's department has indeed increased a lot, as long as the reinforcements of the Central China Front Army are blocked at the junction of Shanxi and Henan, Han Yunhua is confident that he will sweep the land of Yanzhao within two months.

After weighing the pros and cons, Han Yunhua quickly sent a telegram back to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, agreeing that the 129th Division would participate in the battle, and the 129th Division would be commanded by Division Commander Liu himself. That is, when Han Yunhua's division was fighting to the death with the North China Front Army, the 129th Division had to contain all the troops of the First Army stationed in Shanxi, and absolutely could not let them transfer troops to reinforce Hebei.

At the same time, if the troops withdrawn from the Wuhan battlefield passed through the defense area of the 129th Division, they would stop the enemy from reinforcing at all costs, and if the 129th Division could not complete the task alone, the 120th and 115th Divisions would immediately fight together.

After reading Han Yunhua's opinions, Mr. Peng and Mr. Liu looked at each other. I don't know what Han Yunhua is going to do, Han Yunhua's strategic goal Peng always knows, Han Yunhua's battle plan for the Eighth Route Army Headquarters was still specified some time ago, and the goal is to directly take southern Hebei and bring Handan and the six counties southeast of Handan into the instructor's sphere of influence.

But now it seems that they are underestimating Han Yunhua, and Mr. Peng said with emotion: "Bo Cheng, the hero is a young man, this kid's appetite is not small!" ”

"Yes, the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, now the world is young people, it seems that our Commander Han is ready to swallow all the little devils in Hebei in one bite, and his appetite is not ordinary. However, there are more than 100,000 little devils in Hebei, plus more than 100,000 troops of the puppet army, it is not a small army, I don't know where this little Huazi got the confidence to annihilate such a huge enemy army, I am really afraid that this time he will ......"

Mr. Peng also understood what Mr. Liu meant, but Mr. Peng decisively interrupted Mr. Liu's words, and said: "This kid has been in obscurity for more than a year, and now none of us know how many hole cards that kid has, and now that the war has started in Hebei, we can only believe that the kid can hold on, but Comrade Han Yunhua can still believe that since he took over the work of the new regiment, he has been developing at a jaw-dropping speed that we have." The miracle of the Inner Mongolia Military Region was created without us realizing it, and maybe this time he can also create a miracle. ”

…………………… With the support of the 129th Division, Han Yunhua completely let go of his hands and feet this time, and that night Han Yunhua issued a final general attack on Handan, and just last night, the soldiers of the Second and Third Brigades finally defeated the more than 3,400 troops from Feixiang County who returned to Handan after a night of hard fighting. Moreover, it eliminated more than 2,000 Japanese troops and captured more than 3,000 puppet troops, achieving a major victory.

Han Yunhua was very dissatisfied with Jiang Yunshan's telegram, and in the telegram he scolded all the middle and senior cadres of the Second and Third Brigades except Tong Jiayong, and ordered them to take Handan within two days.

Han Yunhua gave Jiang Yunshan and the others a death order, Yamazaki Haruichiro's troops must be completely annihilated or withdrawn from Handan City within two days, no matter what method Jiang Yunshan and others use, but the strategic goal must be achieved.

At the same time, Han Yunhua ordered the soldiers of the first brigade not to care about the escaped puppet army, and those defeated puppet army had their own troops from the Southern Hebei Military Region and the Southern Hebei Administrative Office to clean them up. What the 1st Brigade wants to do now is to move forward, forward, and again.

The battle situation in southern Hebei suddenly became out of control, maybe Han Yunhua's death order really worked, and the second and third brigades were really ruthless, and it only took one day for all the positions of the army on the periphery of Handan City to be captured, and some troops attacked the city of Handan.

At this moment, Yamazaki Haruichiro was really frightened, seeing that the reinforcements were still more than a day away, Yamazaki Haruichiro knew that he probably couldn't wait for reinforcements, so he chose to retreat very "wisely". Under the protection of the remaining elite of more than 4,000 Japanese troops, Major General Haruichiro Yamazaki took the initiative to withdraw from Handan City, leaving only more than 2,000 puppet troops where to block the attack of Han Yunhua's troops.

When the news of Haruichiro Yamazaki's escape reached the headquarters, Han Yunhua was reading the telegram from Saibei, and when the 2nd and 3rd Brigades launched a siege of Handan, the mechanized brigade and cavalry brigade also launched a surprise attack on Xilinhot. This time it was a real tank versus cavalry, and under the crushing of the tanks, the fighting will of the puppet Mongol army soon collapsed completely.

This time, the king did not flee again, but led the remaining cavalry of more than 8,000 to disarm the Wanguo Authority. In the entire puppet Mongolian army, only Li Shouxin led a cavalry company with more than 100 people and fled. Wan Guoquan's troops took advantage of the victory to pursue, leaving a small group to guard the prisoners and take over Xilinhot, while the rest of the troops continued to march eastward.

Handan City and Xilinhot were captured in succession, which made the North China Front Command of the Yue Army panic, which was repaid in less than a day, and the imperial army lost two large cities in a row, although Xilinhot was not guarded by many imperial troops, and the vast majority of the defenders were the puppet Mongol army of King De and Li Shouxin. But even so, General Binshan Yuan still clearly felt the threat, a mortal threat.

In fact, General Binshan Yuan felt that he was very wronged, and this time the 20th Infantry Division was really not transferred to the north for Han Yunhua's department, and their target was the Jizhong Military Region, which had just been established. The reason for this was that Lu Zhengying, commander of the Jizhong Military Region, launched several major battles during this period, which led to the destruction of the army's communications and other military facilities, and the killing or capture of nearly two infantry squadrons and two regiments of puppet troops. Therefore, the North China Front Army Headquarters secretly mobilized a large army to prepare to besiege and kill the Jizhong Military Region, and it was also because Han Yunhua's subordinates were too frequent in southern Hebei, which made Bin Shanyuan think that the Jizhong Military Region was preparing to open up new base areas to the south.
