Hideki Tojo, who figured this out, suddenly didn't dare to send troops north recklessly, but he knew that Han Yunhua's troops had a record of annihilating the brigade system. As early as when he was the commander of the Chahar Dispatch Corps, he suffered a big loss at the hands of Han Yunhua, and the entire mixed brigade was inexplicably lost in Daqingshan, and the commander of the major general's brigade was shattered, which was his only defeat in China. Therefore, Hideki Tojo has a deep hatred for Han Yunhua, and it can be said that Han Yunhua stepped on his shoulders and stood up step by step.

It is precisely because of this that Lieutenant General Hideki Tojo knows better about Han Yunhua, who has brought irrefutable humiliation to the Imperial Japanese Army, and the large and elusive force in Han Yunhua's hands. The infantry of a brigade will only become a hateful Chinese with a little bit of food, and it will only add a small merit to Han Yunhua.

But Chifeng can't help it, if he watches Chifeng fall into the hands of the Chinese army, then those old guys in the base camp will not let him go. In desperation, Lieutenant General Hideki Tojo had no choice but to rescue his old boss, General Uetian Kenkichi, hoping that he would order the First Division of the Kwantung Army to attack from Jianping and Lingyuan, and attack the Chinese army besieging Chifeng with him.

General Zhitian Kenkichi is still very face-saving for Hideki Tojo, the chief of staff, and besides, the North China Front Army and the Kwantung Army have suffered big losses at the hands of this Han Yunhua, if they don't want to find a way to solve this big problem, then their faces will be dull. Therefore, General Uetian Kenkichi happily agreed to Tojo Hideki's request, and sent the 1st Brigade, the absolute main force of the 1st Division, to urgently reinforce Akamine.

At 6 p.m. on August 7, Han Yunhua received a telegram from Wang Jian, who told Han Yunhua that the 77th Independent Brigade and the fire support regiment had arrived in Fengning, escaped from the pursuit of the Japanese army, and were now safe.

After reading Wang Jian's telegram, Han Yunhua handed it to the side of the boil, and said happily: "Now that our troops have basically withdrawn to the base area, only ours remain, it seems that it is time for us to withdraw, no matter how late it is, the devil will come." ”

Li Dingguo smiled: "Come on, come on, it's not like I haven't seen it before." He came one and we killed one, and two killed a pair, so there was nothing to worry about. ”

Han Yunhua glanced at Li Dingguo and said, "You kid knows how to kill, kill, kill, you must know that killing does not solve the problem." ”

Li Dingguo said: "Yes, I know that killing is just a means, to deter the Japanese devils by killing, and finally to beat them out of China is the goal, commander, you have said it many times, I am familiar with it." ”

Seeing Han Yunhua and Li Dingguo bickering, several other officers were smirking on the side, Han Yunhua said with a smile: "You kid is just a slippery head, okay, don't joke." Dingguo, how is the rush to transport materials now? ”

"It's almost over, this time we have seized mainly more food and property, only a small part of weapons and equipment, and a lot of ammunition, 80 million rounds of bullets alone. The total weight of grain and various materials exceeded 600 tons, but fortunately we captured more than 450 military trucks. Li Dingguo replied.

Han Yunhuaqi said: "There are so many cars, where do you have so many drivers?" I remember that not many of you can drive cars, did you dismantle my guards and let the saber members go to be your drivers? ”

Li Dingguo hurriedly said: "No, no, no." I don't dare, if I do, the commissar will have to send me to a confinement cell when I get back. ”

"Then how do you solve it, let's talk about it, it's good, this commander has a reward," Han Yunhua laughed.

Li Dingguo smiled bitterly: "Commander, don't toss me, you also said that there was a reward last time." As a result, I was given a meal of mutton shabu to eat, and I lay in the field hospital for three days. If it weren't for Dr. Wang, I would definitely be in love with Lord Yama's daughter right now. ”

Han Yunhua said with a rare red face: "Isn't that an accident, who knew that the sheep was so sick, besides, if you want to blame it, you can only blame you for being greedy, eating so much, you eat more than half of a sheep alone, and the political commissar and I only eat a little." Otherwise, why don't we stay for a day and be fine, but you have to lie down for three days. This is called the fact that you can live if you do evil in heaven, but you cannot live if you do evil in yourself. ”

Li Dingguo begged for mercy: "Commander, you call it strong words, forget who made me twenty-six, the older ones should suffer some losses." Alright, let's not talk about it. My solution to the driver is simple and really simple, that is, let the devil driver continue to drive. The three or four hundred devils we captured were all Japanese truck drivers, who dared to resist under the threat of bayonets. One driver cooperated with one of our veterans, and the driver was not allowed to wear any weapons, acting under the watchful eye of the veteran. In this way, the driver will not solve it. ”,

"Good. The brain is spinning very fast, and it deserves to be rewarded. Han Yunhua then said: "Since we are almost ready, then let's also withdraw After you take the first brigade to break off, Bart and I will take the second brigade first, and the distance between the two brigades is no more than 100 kilometers." Dingguo, you take a cavalry battalion to stay, wait for the opportunity to return to eastern Hebei, and lead the overall anti-Japanese situation in eastern Hebei, I now formally appoint you as the head of the special detachment of eastern Hebei of the Inner Mongolia Military Region, and from now on you will officially transfer field troops. The Eastern Hebei Special Detachment is a regimental-level combat unit, and you are solely responsible for it, and when a large army counterattacks eastern Hebei, you will be the same as the previous Eastern Hebei Anti-Japanese Advance Detachment as a surprise soldier of the military region. ”

"Guarantee the completion of the task," Li Dingguo said loudly.

……….

……….

On August 12, Han Yunhua and others finally returned to Kangbao County, and the army ran non-stop along the way, and when the "reinforcements" of Lieutenant General Hideki Tojo arrived at Chifeng, they only saw the unrecognizable Chifeng City destroyed by Han Yunhua's troops, and the white corpses of the Japanese soldiers who were stripped all over the ground.

On 9 August, in view of a series of reasons, such as the deterioration of the situation in North China over the past six months, the ineffective counterattack of the North China Front, and the serious losses of troops, General Terauchi Shouichi was hereby dismissed from his post as commander of the North China Front, and he returned to China as soon as possible to report on his work, and the commander of the North China Front was taken over by Senior General Binshan Yuan. At the same time, a reward order was issued, and 100,000 oceans offered a reward for Han Yunhua's head, and if he was captured alive, he could get up to 200,000 yuan of land and oceans. The officers under the jurisdiction of the Inner Mongolia Military Region also have their own rewards, and the price is determined according to the level of their official positions. For example, Shen Yuquan is as high as 80,000 oceans, Li Dayong is 50,000, Ye Baoguo is 60,000, Wang Jian and other brigade commanders are all at the level of 40,000, and in the end, each head of a regular soldier in the Inner Mongolia Military Region is worth five oceans.

As soon as this bounty order came out, it caused a national sensation. Who is Han Yunhua, how can he provoke the Japanese army to make such a big move, the total value of those people listed on the reward order alone is as high as more than 10 million silver dollars. Originally, there were still many people in China who didn't know where this Han Yunhua came out of the hero, but in the next few days, including the newspapers under the control of the Nationalist Government and the mouthpiece of Xinhua Daily, almost all newspapers reported on the deeds of the troops under the leadership of Han Yunhua to resist the Japanese army in northern Saibei.

At this time, almost all those who cared about the fate of the country knew that there was such a Chinese defense force in the north of this suffering country. It is almost impossible to resist the Japanese army with the strength of a mere brigade and tens of thousands of elites to retreat in their entirety. You must know that in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, the squadron often needed several divisions to fight against an infantry brigade of the Japanese army, and now it is told that there is a force that can fight against more than 100,000 Japanese troops for more than a month with only one brigade, and almost all people's first feeling is that it is a deception, and it is the national government that is deliberately exaggerating the exploits of this Han Yunhua and deliberately creating a national hero.

But then people thought that this Han Yunhua was a general who belonged to the leading leadership, and the national government would not deliberately promote the Eighth Route Army, and it was confusing to distinguish the truth from the false.

It's no wonder that ordinary people are confused, but until now, neither ** nor Han Yunhua himself has made any statements. The Japanese army came out to oppose it, but a few people believed the words of the Japanese army, they said that there were nearly 300,000 people in Han Yunhua's department, and although the Japanese army suffered certain losses in this battle, it killed and wounded more than 100,000 people in Han Yunhua's department. A discerning person can see that it is fake, and it is the Japanese army that finds a step down for their defeat.

The Nationalist Government did not know how many people there were in Han Yunhua's department, and Chiang Kai-shek only knew that the number of Han Yunhua's department was the 77th Independent Brigade, and the establishment was only a brigade. However, the decrees that have always been issued to the Nationalist Government are contrary to the Yang and Yin, and the Eighth Route Army will not really obey the orders of the Nationalist Government. Han Yunhua's men and horses will definitely not be an infantry brigade, but the data given by the Japanese army is really a bit outrageous, 300,000 people, what kind of concept is that. At the beginning, there were less than 30,000 people when ** retreated to Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia. Even if there has been a bit of development in recent years, it is absolutely impossible for a single brigade-level military unit to have 300,000 people as terrifying.

Han Yunhua knew about the Japanese army's bounty, but he didn't care much about it, but joked with the side of the boil leg: "Lie boil, it seems that you still have to work hard, you see that even the little devil sends a reward warrant to treat it differently now." I won't say it, how can you not even compare with Dayong, the head of Dayong is still worth 50,000 oceans, and you, the founder of the cavalry unit of our military region, are only worth 40,000, which is too shabby. It seems that you are still too famous in the devil's army, comrade, ** has not succeeded yet, you still need to work hard to boil Leg",

He was very unhappy that the devil only offered a bounty of 40,000 oceans to his head, which was not as good as Han Yunhua and Shen Yuquan, but even Li Dayong and Ye Baoguo were not comparable, which was really depressing. I think he is also the actual instructor of the cavalry unit of the Inner Mongolia Military Region, and all the cavalry units of the Inner Mongolia Military Region were brought out by him.

"His grandmother's, no wonder Changshengtian wants to let the hateful little Japanese devil meet the nemesis of the commander, it's really too filthy for these dogs, you will offer a bounty if you offer a reward, and what kind of differential treatment will be made, it seems that Lao Tzu has not beaten their dogs yet. Commander, you just look at me, in less than a year, my bounty will definitely exceed 100,000. Lie said depressedly.

On August 9, Han Yunhua and his entourage finally returned to Daqingshan. The return of Han Yunhua and the cavalry units of the Inner Mongolia Military Region marked the end of the one-and-a-half-month Battle of Saibei, which lasted for a long time, was large-scale, and suffered heavy casualties in the history of the army.

After returning to Daqingshan, Han Yunhua did not relax. First of all, the operational summary of this war has not yet been sorted out, the campaign report submitted to the Central Committee and the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army has not been counted, the eastern Jidong uprising troops withdrawn to the Chahar region have not had time to be resettled, and the ruins of the military region headquarters and major cities that have been completely destroyed by the Japanese army have not had time to clean up....... what makes Han Yunhua even more anxious is that Yuhan, who has been missing for a month, still has no news at all.

The busiest person in the Inner Mongolia Military Region now is not Commander Han Yunhua or Political Commissar Shen Yuquan, but Yang Ruihua, Minister of Logistics, Mayor of Jining City, and Commander of the Jining Garrison Command. Yang Ruihua is now almost used in several sections, although Guo Weidong helps in logistics, but he is still inseparable from him, the logistics minister. Because during this time, a large number of strategic materials must be transported into the warehouse every day, and Han Yunhua has clearly stipulated that the logistics minister must personally inspect the receipts in the warehouse, and no one else can handle them by pretending.

Six days ago, the ammunition depot built on Daqing Mountain was all full, but a large number of supplies were still being robbed of the base area. After Yang Ruihua consulted Han Yunhua, he transported all the weapons and ammunition that had not yet been put into storage and a large amount of grain to Jining, and then transported them to Guisui by rail.

Meantime. Every day, large quantities of grain were transferred from the warehouses of the Inner Mongolia Military Region and distributed to all units, especially those who had withdrawn from the eastern Hebei region. Moreover, the base areas have been ravaged by devils, and there is still a big gap in the rations of the common people, and it will take at least two months before the crops are ripe, and the Inner Mongolia Military Region must distribute sufficient rations to the one million people in the base areas in these two months. Before the war, hundreds of thousands of refugees from the Yellow Flood Area were still stranded in the base areas, and during this time, a large number of refugees had already died, and a large number of refugees died every day from hunger, disease, and war. When he gave orders to Yang Ruihua and the seven county magistrates under Yang Ruihua, he did not want to see people, especially refugees, die unnaturally from the day the battle ended. Therefore, during this period, Yang Ruihua did not have time to let the troops rest and recuperate, and all the regular troops, local security regiments, district squads, village militia units, and administrative personnel at all levels led by him had to unconditionally cooperate with the resettlement of the victims.

All refugees stranded in Chahar will be accommodated in empty houses in the cities, given adequate food rations every day, and will be free to choose their jobs once they have recovered. Therefore, the amount of grain that is transferred from the major warehouses of the Inner Mongolia Military Region every day is as high as more than 100,000 catties. This can make Yang Ruihua very busy, and in desperation, Yang Ruihua had no choice but to ask Han Yunhua for help, hoping that he could transfer some knowledgeable people to the logistics department.

But Han Yunhua is also short of manpower now, Shen Yuquan is now leading a large number of troops to confront the Japanese army in the Zhangjiakou area, although both sides are very restrained, and their respective defense lines are far away, but no one on either side dares to take it lightly.

Without Shen Yuquan's help, Han Yunhua is also very busy now, how can anyone transfer Yang Ruihua. In view of the fact that the situation was still grim, Han Yunhua issued Order No. 1 of the commander of the Military Region, ordering all the troops of the Inner Mongolia Military Region to rest and recuperate on the spot and report on the results and losses of the fighting for more than a month. At the same time, Han Yunhua ordered all the troops to gather all the wounded in Jining, Guisui, Baotou and other big cities for treatment.

On August 11, the Japanese troops slowly retreated, and at about 8 o'clock that night, the 6th Division of the Japanese army Gu Shoufu withdrew to Zhangjiakou City to rest, and the distance from Shen Yuquan's division was extended to more than 120 li. At the same time, the devils who occupied Fengzhen, Liangcheng and other county towns also retreated. ,

By the 12th, all the Japanese troops in Chahar had broken away from the confrontation with the Eighth Route Army and returned to Shanxi and several counties in the northwest of Hebei to continue the confrontation with the Eighth Route Army. It was only now that Han Yunhua believed that the Japanese army had really retreated, and he could resume the construction of the base area.

Now Han Yunhua has a trace of worry about Yuhan in his heart, and the rest can be described as sunny. However, with the protection of the special operations team, Han Yunhua was not very worried about Li Yuhan's safety. Thinking about it, as long as they didn't encounter the Japanese special combat team, the other troops didn't have the ability to leave Han Yunhua's carefully selected special operations team behind.

After Shen Yuquan led the main force back to Daqing Mountain, Han Yunhua and Shen Yuquan talked secretly for a whole night, and no one knew what they said. The next day, Han Yunhua ordered the military and political chiefs of the Inner Mongolia Military Region at the level of brigade commander to hold a meeting in Jining City on 15 August.

At the same time, a telegram sent in top-secret code was sent to Yan'an and the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, and the upper left corner of the telegram was marked with three big "A", indicating that this telegram could only be read by the leaders above level 3*, and others could only be circulated with the authorization of the leaders of level 3*.

Yan'an

** had just fallen asleep, and the operator ran in with a telegram with a hurried face. The guard hurriedly stopped the operator and whispered: "The chairman has just fallen asleep, the chairman has not rested for two days and two nights, let's talk about something tomorrow."

"No, this is an urgent telegram from Commander Han Yunhua of Chahar, I must hand it over to the chairman immediately, Brother Zhang, you should help me call the chairman" The operator whispered, his face full of pleading.

** The guard Xiao Zhang knows that it must be an urgent matter, otherwise the operator will not come to the chairman at this time, but the chairman finally fell asleep, he really can't and doesn't want to wake up the chairman, as the chairman's guard, Xiao Zhang knows how hard the chairman is, from more than a month ago, the chairman is basically two in the morning every day... I went to bed, and I have been almost sleepless all night these days, always staring at the map.

"Well, you can just give me the telegram, and when the chairman wakes up, I'll pass it on to the chairman." Xiao Zhang said helplessly.

When the telegraph operator attended the training, he was told that there was a kind of telegram that could not be shown to others casually, and that this type of telegram should be delivered to the chairman as soon as it was received, and that no matter what time of day, even if it was midnight, it could not be withheld or forwarded to others. Therefore, the operator said with a sad face: "I am afraid that this will not work, I must hand over this telegram to the chairman by hand now, if it is delivered late, the chairman will blame it, and you and I will be severely punished." ”

Xiao Zhang now also feels that it is a little inappropriate not to wake up the chairman, and if he misses a major matter, he will definitely be punished with the chairman's temper. Xiao Zhang immediately said: "You wait." Then he turned and walked towards the room where the chairman lived.........
