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 complaints, and twice reported to the military region to apply to the front-line troops, in Han Yunqian's original words: "Even if it is to give her an infantry battalion commander, I am 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 Japanese 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 who were not vigilant were killed, including several regiment commanders and political commissars, so the safety of her brother became 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 rational girl, she knows that if there is no extremely important matter, Qian Zhuangfei will not come to disturb Han Yunhua's rest, so although she is unwilling to let anyone disturb her brother's rest, she is also worried that it will delay the battle on the front line, and finally Han Yunqian still 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 Japanese army of more than 100,000 troops is attacking the Inner Mongolia Military Region with all its 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?" Quite a few words"

"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 getting more and more mother-in-law and mother-in-law, how come 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.

Han Yunhua didn't understand what Yun Qian said, 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 at a turning point; 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 is a call from Zhangbei, the Japanese army Yamashita Division Xishiyuan Brigade totaled more than 11,000 people and invaded Zhangbei County on August 15, our military region's independent 77th Division, the 1st Guard Division, and the 1st Field Division set up an ambush in Dashuiquan Village, Zhangbei County, after seven hours of hard fighting, our army completely annihilated the Xishiyuan Division, killed 7,462 elite members of the division, captured 2,921 prisoners, and captured 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 to the headquarters of the former enemy 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 Japanese troops 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 command 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, and he was in charge of the Inner Mongolia Military Region in the past, so the democratic 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.

The Communists were of course jubilant, but the Japanese North China Front was unwilling to accept defeat, and on the same day, General Binshan Yuan, who learned the news, dispatched the air force that could be used by the entire North China Front Army to carry out retaliatory bombing of 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 and 21st Divisions of the 2nd Division of the Japanese Army rushed to Zhangjiakou by train, and formed the 1st Attack Group with the Yamashita Division that had suffered heavy losses, and at the same time the 20th Attack Group, composed of the 10th 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 and 4th Divisions of the Kwantung Army stationed in the northeast to attack the Chinese troops in eastern Hebei from the north and southThe Chinese troops on the front line of Yanggao and Tianzhen formed a frontal offensive posture. 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 of the Japanese army on the northern front were dispatched to the army, the Japanese army on the central line was also assembled into the second brigade of the independent mixed army, 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 Independent Mixed Brigades of the Japanese 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 Zhengcao, commander of the Central Hebei 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 their hands.

After receiving the telegram from Nie Rongzhen and Lu Zhengcao, Han Yunhua immediately ordered all units to take their positions, not to take into account the Japanese 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 each unit 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 first to engage the Japanese army was the 1st Field Division in eastern Hebei, the predecessor of which was the 8th Independent Brigade of the Inner Mongolia Military Region, and the brigade commander was Li Dayong, the current division commander. 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 former Independent 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 the three divisions, one brigade and the other two divisions of the Japanese army attacked Jidong together, which was the first time in the history of the Anti-Japanese War in eastern Jidong, 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, although the strength in his hands is far less than that of the Japanese army, but he still has a trump card force 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 Japanese army was to lure the enemy into depth, clear the field with strong walls, 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 Japanese army.

The idea is not bad, but the Japanese army has learned well this time, and the Japanese 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, with the Japanese 10th Division's Yamada Wing did a tough battle, the two sides in the Macheng line to fight to the death, stumbling for a whole day and a night, but unfortunately no one could help anyone, and finally because the main force of the Japanese 10th Division bypassed the defensive position of the regiment, detoured behind the regiment, and defeated the Luanxian security regiment that protected the flank of the regiment, and had no choice but to retreat to the county seat of Luanxian to continue to block the Japanese army. …,

At the same time that the Japanese 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, and Funing rushed to Lulong, and the two Japanese troops were ready to join forces in Lulong, and then successfully take Lulong County.

However, Li Dayong was out of the way, with more than 5,000 people in Bao Sen's department, he could not hold Lulong under the siege of more than 10,000 Japanese troops, although Lu Long's geographical location was extremely important, but Li Dayong, who had followed Han Yunhua for so many years, knew very well the truth that everyone and land could be saved if they lost the city, so he ordered Bao Sen's department to exchange a Lulong empty city for an infantry wing of the Japanese army.

Sure enough, the Japanese army did not expect the Chinese army to 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 Bao Sen's series of undisguised big moves confused the Japanese army, so the Japanese 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 Japanese 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 Japanese army 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 and the key personnel of the newspaper were also sniped.

As soon as the main officer died, the resistance and fighting spirit of this already bad infantry wing of the Japanese army quickly collapsed, and after two hours of fierce fighting, all but 200 people of this Japanese infantry wing 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 Japanese Army, killed 1,324 Japanese soldiers, captured 1,876 Japanese soldiers, and captured a lot ..................of weapons and ammunition.
