Chapter 90: Peak Duel (4)

After saying goodbye to Yuhan, Han Yunhua turned over and chased towards the large army. Just when Han Yunhua led his troops to leave Daqingshan, all the units of the army were also ready to attack, in order to repeat the mistake of being broken by Han Yunhua last time, the nearly 100,000 army of Shouichi in the temple was divided into three roads, each of which was very powerful, and it was difficult to completely eat any of them in a short time.

As long as it is entangled by any of the Yue Army, the other roads will swarm in, and then it will become a decisive battle between the Eighth Route Army and the Yue Army, and the result can be imagined. Therefore, when arranging combat missions, Han Yunhua particularly emphasized the main principles and policies for this operation. That is to make full use of the favorable terrain to block the enemy, slow down the enemy's marching speed, and at the same time kill a large number of soldiers. Second, all units must conscientiously implement the essence of guerrilla warfare and Han Yunhua's theory of killing and injuring the enemy's vital forces with cold guns and cold artillery, and make use of all available resources to delay the time for the army to enter the hinterland of the base areas. Finally, it is necessary to vigorously mobilize the masses of the people to completely fortify the walls and clear the wilderness, so that the army cannot find any supplies in the base areas, cannot drink a sip of clean water, and cannot sleep well, so that the army will completely fall into the quagmire of the people's war.

According to Han Yunhua's instructions, the first brigade of the provisional reading force and the Fengzhen security regiment should be in the mountainous area from Datong to Fengzhen for a period of time, and then they should concentrate their forces to rely on Jining City, kill and wound a large number of living forces and retreat to a safe area, in order to implement this plan, Han Yunhua repaired half of the buildings in Jining City, and reorganized the entire Jining City into a large bunker group, and most of the people in Jining City were moved by Han Yunhua to the following counties and townships. In addition to the Jining Security Corps and some other local surnames, there are only a few old, weak, sick and disabled residents left in Jining City.

In order to relocate these citizens, Han Yunhua spent almost all the gold and silver dollars seized by the troops in the military region, and although the Inner Mongolia Military Region's finances have not yet incurred a deficit, the funds on the books are seriously insufficient.

Speaking and saying: "A penny is difficult for a hero, a rich man is a man, and a man is difficult if he has no money." Han Yunhua was indeed very distressed about the finances of the military region during this time. But this is also something that can't be helped, he wants to turn Jining City into a battlefield, so he must not let the people stay in the city to be bombarded by the artillery of the army, so these citizens have to move.

Fortunately, there are not many people in Jining City now, originally the Chahar area was originally a typical vast and sparsely populated area, coupled with the scourge of the army, so it caused a large number of people to flee, so Jining City added up to less than 50,000 people, aside from the old, weak, sick and disabled who were unwilling to move away, in fact, there were less than 30,000 people who needed to be relocated.

Since the North China Front Army Headquarters officially issued the order to march into Chahar at 11 o'clock last night, the three-way army besieging Han Yunhua and the first-way army attacking the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region have begun to mobilize.

However, because it was almost midnight when the order was issued to the hands of the local army, it was not until July 3 that all the units of the army were not ready, so except for the 21st Division and the Yamashita Brigade, which had been prepared for a long time, the other two armies were only equipped with a small detachment to come out to the front, and the main force was still in the process of being assembled.

However, on this night, the war in Zhangbei County took a new turn. At about 3 o'clock in the morning on July 3, Yang Chengwu finally rushed to the forward position of Chongdigou Village in Zhangbei County, and the tragedy of the battle here far exceeded Yang Chengwu's expectations.

As soon as he walked into Jiang Spruce's temporary headquarters, Yang Chengwu was stunned, Yang Chengwu was very annoyed when he came, and he was also a little dissatisfied with Jiang Spruce who caused this big battle. But when he saw Jiang Spruce, who was covered in medical gauze and covered in blood and pale, Yang Chengwu's anger turned into deep worry.

Seeing Yang Chengwu come in, Jiang Yunshan's tears came down all of a sudden, and he said in a hoarse and weak voice: "Brigade commander, brigade commander, you are here, I... I thought I'd never see you again, but you had to avenge the death of your warriors!! ”

Yang Chengwu hurriedly stepped forward to help the crumbling Jiang Spruce up, but suddenly Yang Chengwu felt that he had only grabbed an empty sleeve, and Jiang Spruce's arm had long since disappeared. Yang Chengwu asked bitterly, "Spruce, where is your arm?" What the hell is going on, how many devils are there on the other side? How's the battle going now? ”

Jiang Yunshan said with difficulty: "It's nothing, it's just that it was blown up by the devil's shell, and I can't die, but this arm is gone." Let's not talk about these things for a while, how many people did you bring this time, brigade commander? I'm afraid less is not enough! ”

"I didn't bring many people, I came in a hurry this time, in addition to the guard battalion and cavalry battalion of the brigade headquarters, I brought another machine gun battalion, which is barely a regiment! What's wrong? Is there a lot of enemy troops? Yang Chengwu said.

Jiang Yunshan said slowly: "This battle was originally caused by our elite reconnaissance company and the devil's elite search team, and later it became a duel between our two battalions and a complete brigade of the devil, four hours ago we already had an absolute advantage, and the army was charged to make them suffer heavy losses, our department seized this opportunity to surround the infantry brigade in one fell swoop, and at the same time launched a comprehensive counterattack on this brigade." However, the will to fight of this army is extremely tenacious, and although it is surrounded by our army, it is still fighting for trapped beasts. However, although the dying struggle of the army has caused some casualties to our troops, its main force has been wiped out by our troops, and there are less than 100 remnants left in the encirclement, and this fully equipped brigade can be completely annihilated in another ten minutes. But at this moment the devil's reinforcements came, and they came with two reorganized infantry brigades, and also equipped with a large number of artillery, and our tired division, which was only less than 700 men at that time, was soon surrounded by the army. Fortunately, the remaining battalions of our first regiment arrived in time to rescue us, but there were only more than 400 people left in the first and second battalions, and the commander of the first battalion and the deputy commander of the second battalion were killed, and I also lost an arm. At present, there are about 2,400 people in the army, and there are only about 2,200 people left in our regiment. Not to mention the disadvantage in numbers, in terms of weapons and equipment, we are far from being able to compare with the devils on the other side, the equipment of the army of this wing is very sophisticated, better than the equipment of the army we killed in the past, and there is also field heavy artillery, which is necessary to be guarded against! After saying so many words in a row, Jiang Yunshan couldn't even open his eyes, he had been insisting on commanding the battle since he was injured, he knew that he couldn't fall, if he fell, the thousands of soldiers would be eaten by the devils, and there would not be even a little scum left, he had always relied on this spirit to support. The moment he saw Yang Chengwu, Jiang Yunshan's spiritual pillar had already begun to collapse, and now it finally collapsed.

Yang Chengwu hurriedly shouted: "Guard, immediately send someone to send Regiment Commander Jiang back to the county seat for treatment, tell our military medical officer, and let him treat Regiment Commander Jiang at all costs, go quickly!! ”

After Jiang Yunshan was sent away, Yang Chengwu took over the supreme command of the battlefield. The war continued, the devils continued to charge the battlefield of a regiment, and the field heavy artillery, mountain artillery, field artillery, and mortars were constantly pouring steel ammunition on the positions of the regiments, and the positions of the regiments were not illuminated by the exploding shells.

Yang Chengwu leaned on the table and drew with a pencil on the military combat map for a while, then got up and said to the guards on the side: "Order: The guard battalion immediately put into battle, send the wounded of the first regiment down the battlefield immediately, and the machine gun battalion cooperates with the artillery battalion of the first regiment to do a good job of fire cover, but don't let the devil's artillery unit keep an eye on it." Telegraphed to Chen Zhi'an, the commander of the cavalry regiment, and asked them to make a detour from the side to attack the enemy's military camp in Daya Bay. At the same time, he telegraphed Wang Huisen, the commander of the Second Regiment, and asked them to set up an ambush in Gudaogou, preparing to fight the devils in an ambush, but let them remember not to entangle with the devils, and run away after the fight. Then send a telegram to the guerrillas on the outskirts of Zhangjiakou, ordering them to blow up the railway from Zhangjiakou to Zhangbei tonight. ”

Speaking on both sides, Yang Chengwu's heart hurts Jiang Yunshan and lost an arm, and his life and death are still uncertain. And the commander of the 1st Infantry Wing of the Yamashita Brigade was about to go crazy, first Oda Jiro and the entire search team were almost completely wiped out, and then Yui Kabayashi and the entire 1st Brigade only had less than 100 remnants left, and his 1st Infantry Wing lost one-third of its strength in just one night. Not long ago, the sentinels reported that there were reinforcements from the Chinese army over there, and there seemed to be a lot of troops, as well as an unknown number of artillery.

Although Canglu Yi Nan Dazuo also hoped that the Chinese army could be dragged here by him, he was also afraid that if the strength of the Chinese army exceeded expectations, and the reinforcements of the brigade commander were delayed, then his wing would likely follow in the footsteps of the first brigade.

And after such a long time of fighting, Cangluyi Nan Dazuo also learned that the troops on the opposite side were not some mysterious weapons, but their old opponent, Han Yunhua's headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, specifically Yang Chengwu's headquarters that beat their brigade under the mountain last time.

Cangluyi Nan Dazuo didn't know that Yang Chengwu's headquarters had been expanded from the original new regiment to the current assault brigade, and he didn't know that Yang Chengwu now had an infantry regiment, a cavalry regiment and three battalions directly under the brigade headquarters not far from him.
