Chapter Seventy-Eight: Countermeasures
Although the opportunity is very good, but it is a hidden killing machine, Yang Ruihua and others are still very worried about Han Yunhua's decision, after all, this time it is not a face-to-face confrontation with the devil, but a deeper economic war. Economic warfare is not something that can be won by the strength of the troops, but by money and resources.
At present, the combat effectiveness of the troops of the Inner Mongolia Military Region is uneven, and the economic aspect is also very unsatisfactory, and to be honest, they really do not have the strength to fight such a war with devils. But Yang Ruihua and others also know that Han Yunhua is the authority in the Inner Mongolia Military Region, and no one can say what Han Yunhua said, and in the hearts of the soldiers, Han Yunhua is a god, a god of war who is invincible and invincible.
Now that Han Yunhua has made up his mind to resist the devil, then those of them who are subordinates can only follow the chief officer to "resist toughness" a little. Qian Zhuangfei was sent by Han Yunhua to take charge of the investigation of spies within the military region, because in the near future, a large number of disaster victims will arrive at the base area, and there will definitely be many Japanese spies who are ready to fish in troubled waters, and there will even be Kuomintang spies, these people need to be carefully screened by Qian Zhuangfei, and this work is also an important part of the entire work of rescuing the victims, and it must not be sloppy at all.
Yang Ruihua was sent out by Han Yunhua to organize the people to build temporary houses, if the disaster victims came, if there were not enough houses, it would definitely not work, while there was still a period of preparation time, Han Yunhua was ready to let the people in the base area help build some houses, anyway, there was nothing else in the countryside, and there was still no shortage of turf and trees.
Now Han Yunhua can't care about anything like protecting the environment, as long as he can completely eliminate the devils and protect the lives and property of every ordinary person in the jurisdiction, he will not hesitate to cut down all the trees in the Chahar area.
Guo Weidong and the others were ordered by Han Yunhua to go to the troops below to count the detailed family backgrounds of each brigade and regiment-level military unit.
Yu Han Yunhua himself returned to Xinghe County with the special operations brigade and reorganized the remaining troops.
No wonder Guo Weidong was worried, when he personally saw the six temporary groups, he was also shocked in his heart. These six regiments are also really irritating. There are more than 15,000 people in a mess, and they don't have the appearance of an army, not to mention that they can't compare with the elite troops of the military region, and even the security regiments in various counties and townships are much stronger than them.
After inquiring carefully, Han Yunhua learned that the people of these six regiments were all won by the puppet army prisoners, and they were fine some time ago, but then they became cheating and tricky after hearing that the Eighth Route Army Department allowed corporal punishment of soldiers, and now these regiments have several thorns that are extremely difficult to manage. And the newly appointed regiment commanders can't do anything about these people, because each of these thorns has a group of former buddies or subordinates, and they can move their whole bodies.
Han Yunhua was extremely angry when he heard this, and removed three regiment commanders on the spot, and the remaining three were also demoted. As for those thorns, Han Yunhua didn't shoot them, but turned around and sent these people to the Young Phoenix Special Operations Squadron, so that Huzi could train these soldiers well.
Han Yunhua mixed the 12,000 people sent back from the other brigades with these 15,000 people and unified them into two reserve corps, each with 13,500 men, as the reserve and supplementary regiments of the other brigades and regiments. As long as the troops in the front are damaged, then they are replenished from these two reserve corps.
At the same time, Han Yunhua transferred the Young Phoenix Special Warfare Squadron to Xinghe County, specifically responsible for the daily training of the soldiers of these reserve corps.
On 14 June, in the name of the commander of the military region, Han Yunhua issued an order for the Inner Mongolia Military Region to enter a state of wartime alert, ordering all units of the military region to quickly enter a wartime state and to actively attack the devils in the defense area.
At the same time, the vanguard of the 1st Assault Brigade was ordered to advance 50 miles, but the 1st Assault Brigade was not allowed to engage in a large-scale clash with the devils unless it had to be. The Saibei Military Sub-district received an order from Han Yunhua's entire army to be on covert and standby, and Han Yunhua asked Li Dayong to gather his troops and take them to the mountains between Baotou and Guisui to stand by, ready to carry out a surprise attack on these two cities at any time.
Under Han Yunhua's strong order, the high-powered war machine of the Inner Mongolia Military Region accelerated its speed, and Han Yunhua's troops once again showed their claws to the Japanese army. ,
Of course, such a big movement in the Inner Mongolia Military Region could not hide from the eyes of the devils, and in a very short period of time, Terauchi Shouichi received a report from a secret agent lurking in the Inner Mongolia Military Region. After receiving the report, instead of being nervous, Terauchi Shouichi was overjoyed and asked the guards to call the chief of staff, Lieutenant General Naosaburo Gangbe, over.
Okabe Naosaburo knew no less than he knew Terauchi Shouichi as he knew himself, and he knew that Terauchi Shouichi was an extremely cunning and moody person. Therefore, although Naosaburo Okabe is the chief of staff of the lieutenant general, he never dared to be presumptuous in front of Terauchi Shouichi, and he also listened to Terauchi Shouichi's orders and rarely expressed his own opinions.
During this time, Terauchi Shouichi's mood was not bad, although the problem of Han Yunhua's department was still not solved, but after all, the strategic position of the Chahar region was not too important, and the impact on the grand plan of the empire's greater East Asia co-prosperity was not too great, although it was said that Han Yunhua did not occupy a large area of territory now, but compared with the Chiang Kai-shek government in Chongqing, Han Yunhua was a small piece of psoriasis, which was not enough to stir the nerves of the entire army of the Japanese Empire. However, the Nationalist Government was different, and the losses in the Battle of Taierzhuang really made the Japanese from Emperor Hirohito to the military staff officers to suffer for a period of time. The more than 10,000 Japanese troops wiped out by the Kuomintang Fifth Theater were all the real elite forces of the Japanese Army, especially the headquarters of the Fifth Division, which was heavily damaged, and was one of the most effective ace divisions formed in Japan since the Meiji Restoration. Therefore, Japan would rather lose another 10,000 men and teach Chiang Kai-shek's Nationalist Government a lesson, so it had a plan for the North China and Central China fronts to jointly attack Xuzhou.
Originally, at the beginning of 1938, in view of the long front, the huge logistical pressure, and the unstable defense, Japan issued an order not to occupy new territory in a short period of time, and all forces were used to consolidate the rear occupation area. However, due to the "non-cooperation" of the Nationalist government, the Japanese army's intention to digest the occupied area was completely destroyed by the Chinese army, which also created the rise of Han Yunhua. If the Japanese army sent heavy troops to eliminate Han Yunhua at the beginning of joining, then Han Yunhua would not have more than one regiment now, how could he be like a behemoth with dozens of regiments now.
After several months of arduous fighting, the Japanese army finally inflicted heavy losses on hundreds of thousands of Kuomintang troops in the Fifth Theater of Operations in the Battle of Xuzhou, killing and capturing more than 100,000 Kuomintang troops, and achieving major results. On the Shandong Peninsula, the Kuomintang resistance was no longer a threat to the Japanese army. What's more, the vanguard of the Japanese army has broken through into the Henan area, and the 14th Division, which was originally in danger, has also been saved because the Kuomintang Chiang Kai-shek's descendants fled from the battle. With such brilliant results, how could General Terauchi Shouyi, as the commander of the North China Front, not be happy? Terauchi seemed to have seen the star-studded marshal's uniform beckoning to him, and his officers chanting "Your Excellency the Marshal."
Seeing Lieutenant General Naosaburo Okabe walking in, Shouichi Terauchi said happily, "Okabe-kun, please take a seat." ”
Okabe Naosaburo was not polite, and sat down face-to-face with Terauchi Shouichi across the desk, and asked Terauchi Shouichi respectfully, "Your Excellency Commander, what makes you so happy?"
Terauchi Shou smiled and didn't answer, but handed over a telegram next to his hand. Lieutenant General Naosaburo Okabe hurriedly took the telegram and read it carefully. After reading the telegram, Lieutenant General Naosaburo Okabe also laughed, and said in unison: "Yo Xi, Yo Xi." Han Yunhua can't escape from our hands this time, and the shame of the North China Front can finally be washed in blood!! ”
Terauchi Shouichi also smiled: "Chiang Kai-shek, a little peanut, his can't do it!" We can't take it lightly, this Han Yunhua is a very difficult opponent, like Liu Bocheng of the Eighth Route Army and Bai Chongxi of the Kuomintang, he is an opponent worthy of the admiration of our Great Japanese Empire. Especially this Han Yunhua, his rise is really beyond the expectations of all of us, and it is said that such an important person, Tegaoke, will not miss the investigation. But now we don't know anything about this Han Yunhua, so there is only one possibility, that is, Han Yunhua's ability began to be revealed after the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, and was reused by the senior officers of the Eighth Route Army. If that's the case, then this Han Yunhua is really terrifying. ”
"In this way, we do underestimate this Han Yunhua a little. But this time, even if they don't die, they will be strong, that is millions of hungry victims who have no food or clothing, whether it is simple food or follow-up epidemic prevention medicines, Han Yunhua can't eat and walks away. Lieutenant General Naosaburo Okabe said gloatingly.
Terauchi Shouyi: "What Gangbu-kun said is very reasonable, this time there are refugees in Han Yunhua's department that need to be appeased, and we will send a large army to give him another boost at that time, hehe!" I don't believe that Han Yunhua really has three heads and six arms and can escape. ”
For a time, there was laughter and laughter in the headquarters of the North China Front, which seemed to have swept away Han Yunhua's headquarters and "recovered" the Chahar region.
