Chapter 206: Jin Sui Army Observation Group (1)
This rare calm lasted only less than a month, and with the northward movement of the main force of the Japanese North China Front and the initial completion of the intensive training of the Yanagi Special Attack Brigade, friction between the two sides began to become frequent, and the scale of the exchange of fire in the border area also became larger and larger, from the original company and platoon level to the battalion and regiment level.
In order to curb the development of Han Yunhua's department, and also to prevent the elusive sneak attack of Han Yunhua's special forces, the North China Front began to vigorously support the puppet army troops, and two rack divisions were formed in Datong Special City alone. Although these two shelf divisions had less than 5,000 men, and even one-seventh of the 300 divisions were not enough, they were enough to help the Japanese army maintain order in the city.
In the face of the increasing arrogance of the Japanese army, Han Yunhua decided to launch a small-scale, but absolutely mad battle for the Japanese army, and beat this Binshan Yuan hard. Let him know who is the real boss and who is the younger brother in Saibei, otherwise he really thinks that there are no tigers in the mountains.
However, at this moment, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army called that Yan Xishan, commander of the Second Theater of the Kuomintang, had ordered Fu Zuoyi, commander of the 35th Army, as the supreme representative, that an officer observation group had arrived at the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, hoping that the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army could arrange for them to go to the Inner Mongolia Military Region for exchange and study.
After receiving the order from the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, Han Yunhua immediately discussed with Zuo Quan and others, and unanimously agreed that the observation group sent by the Jin Suijun to exchange and study was fake, and it was true to touch Han Yunhua's bottom line. After all, whether it is a tiger or a dog squatting at the door of his house always knows, the strong rise of Han Yunhua's department has become an irreversible thing, but he, Yan Xishan, can't let Han Yunhua expand so unscrupulously, after all, the two provinces of Jin and Sui were originally his Yan Laoxi's territory.
As early as a month ago, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army had issued a secret order, saying that Yan Xishan's headquarters was likely to launch new friction with various units of the Eighth Route Army. But afterwards, there was no rumor, it seems that Yan Laoxi is also afraid of Han Yunhua, the tiger boy, and wants to find out the bottom first, he is also afraid of kicking the iron plate, even Lieutenant General Nuan Pan and General Terauchi Shouichi are bloody examples, and the lessons of the past have to be cautious.
Since you have judged the intention of Fu Zuoyi and the others on this trip, then Han Yunhua and the others are not welcome, since you want to see it, let you see enough, didn't you say that you wanted to come to exchange and learn? Well, let the troops of the Inner Mongolia Military Region teach you how to fight and how to win a war.
Anyway, the battle plan has already been formulated, and the show can start just waiting for the audience to come, and he Han Yunhua wants to open the eyes of these famous generals in history and let them know what modern warfare is.
If there is any warlord in China who is worthy of Han Yunhua's eyes, it is only this Yan Laoxi who is entrenched in Shanxi. Some say that Yan Xishan is a warlord and an important factor in China's political chaos. Some people also say that Yan Laoxi was a feudal emperor and an enemy of the people. But Han Yunhua had a new position in his heart for Yan Xishan and the Jin Sui Army under his leadership, Yan Xishan was a warlord and a feudal emperor, and he was also a loyal believer in Sun Yat-sen's Three People's Doctrine and a hero of China's War of Resistance Against Japan.
Han Yunhua's position is not questionable, and his explanation is not derogatory, because Yan Xishan is a prince, this is a real situation, and he is also a great prince who can share the same situation with Lao Jiang, so there is nothing wrong with saying that he is a warlord, and there is nothing wrong with saying that he is a feudal emperor, the reason is simpler, he will not escape the limitations of the era he has experienced, this is not wrong.
As a veteran of the Kuomintang and one of the members of the "Iron Husband Group," one of the earliest members of the "League Association" who studied in Japan for five years, Yan Xishan is a figure who has had a very important influence on China in modern history. The Jin Sui Army led by him made great contributions to overthrowing the Qing government, resisting foreign independence, fighting the nation's war of resistance, and the independence and freedom of the nation. On the afternoon of November 5, 1911, Yan Xishan and Wu Luzhen met at Niangziguan, and decided to overthrow the Qing court's plan and decide to form the Yan-Jin coalition army. But it was still defeated by Yuan Jun. Yan Xishan only led more than 1,000 people to flee Shanxi, took Baode, led his troops to attack Suiyuan, and occupied Baotou before surviving. On September 18, 1912, Mr. Sun Yat-sen visited Shanxi and stayed in Taiyuan for two days and three nights. Sun Yat-sen's visit to Shanxi was one of the most important historical events in the history of the Republic of China. Leaving aside the big content and influence, there are three "little things" between Yan Xishan and Sun Yat-sen. 1. Sun Yat-sen and Yan Xishan took a group photo alone; 2. Sun Yat-sen's handwritten "fraternity" was given to Yan Xishan; 3. Sun Yat-sen privately instructed Yan Xishan: "The environment in the north is different from that in the south, and you must do everything possible to preserve the base area of Shanxi." ,
The reason why Han Yunhua gave Yan Xishan a different evaluation from other warlords was not because of his above merits or achievements, but because of his great contributions below. Yan Xishan was coerced by the powerful forces of the Beiyang warlords in Shanxi, and wanted to seize it. At this time, Yan Xishan adopted the policy of "protecting the territory and the people, but the only force is to see". During the Republican period, grand plans were formulated for the development of national education, political power at the grassroots level, and the development of industrial and agricultural production in Shanxi, which were all implemented in the guidelines of Sun Yat-sen's visit to Shanxi. At the same time, Yan Xishan put forward the three major governance programs of "people's morality, people's wisdom, and people's wealth." Over a long period of time, Yan Xishan made great efforts to grasp all kinds of construction in Shanxi, and made great progress in industrial, agricultural, and farmland and water conservancy construction, especially in the production of military industry, and achieved even more outstanding results. With these relatively solid material foundations, it was possible to resist the armed attacks of the various factions of the Beiyang warlords and the success of the Northern Expedition. Feng warlord Zhang Zuolin sent 200,000 troops to attack Shanxi, which took 8 months, Shanxi was still impregnable, and Zhang Dashuai could only withdraw his troops and return; During the Northern Expedition, although Yan Xishan and the Jin Sui Army under his leadership were not the main battlefield, the situation was very intriguing, because the Jin Sui Army Group contained too many troops and elites of the other side; During the Anti-Japanese War, the guns and ammunition made in Shanxi were continuously sent to the front line to resist the enemy, and the Kuomintang and Communist armies effectively resisted the attack of the Japanese devils. During the Anti-Japanese War, he made contributions to the cause of the nation's Anti-Japanese War, and in modern history, he is also a great figure. During the Anti-Japanese War, General Terauchi Shouichi, Sakagaki Division, and Tojo Ying Branch all encountered the stubborn resistance of these Jin Sui army generals and suffered a lot of hardships from the Jin Sui army. A local army can have such performance and achievements, which in modern history, I am afraid that only the Gui system can compare; A local army can produce so many talents, which in modern history I am afraid that no local army can compare with it, including the Gui system.
Han Yunhua gave Yan Xishan a relatively reasonable evaluation, which does not mean that he can tolerate Yan Laoxi's vexatious trouble, if friction comes, he must counter-friction, but he doesn't know if Yan Laoxi's Jin Sui army can withstand that loss.
Now that I think about it, Yan Laoxi is also quite frightened of Han Yunhua, otherwise he would not have sent his confidant Fu Zuoyi to Chahar at this time to find out the truth of Han Yunhua's department. However, this is not a chance for Han Yunhua's department and the entire Eighth Route Army, as long as this scene is performed well, Yan Xishan's idea of engaging in friction will be much weaker, and he will even directly give up his original plan, which is good for both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and it is also a blessing for the entire Chinese nation.
On January 3, 1939, Fu Zuoyi and his entourage, accompanied by Deputy Commander-in-Chief Peng, rushed to Guisui, and the main leaders of the Inner Mongolia Military Region went to Guisui 30 miles outside the city to greet Deputy Commander-in-Chief Peng and his party.
After the meeting, of course, there was a burst of greetings, and Deputy Commander-in-Chief Peng first introduced Han Yunhua: "Comrade Han Yunhua, let me introduce to you, this is General Fu Zuoyi, the confidant of the commander of the Second Theater of the National Government, Yan Xishan, the commander of the 35th Army. ”
"General Fu's name Yunhua has long heard of it, and when I saw it today, it was really extraordinary, and I knew that it was better to be famous than to meet, and it was better to be famous than to meet, hahaha" Han Yunhua said first, this is not Han Yunhua's hypocrisy, but he has admired this general who shined in the Liberation War in later generations for a long time.
Not to mention how this General Fu Zuoyi Fu was in the Liberation War, the 35th Army of the National ** Army led by him alone is enough to make Han Yunhua awe-inspired. There were several particularly elite units in the Kuomintang troops, namely: the 2nd Army, the "Guangxi Wolf Army", the 7th Army, the 18th Army, the Ironclad Mechanical Army, the 5th Army, the Devil's Troubled Army, the New 1st Army, the Tiger Forest Army, the 74th Army, the 35th Army, and the 52nd Army. Compared with other troops of the National Government, the 35th Army can be said to have gone through a hundred battles, both offensive and defensive, especially famous for "good at defending the city", and repeatedly attacked the Japanese puppet army in the War of Resistance, and was a famous anti-Japanese victorious army. Its military strength is between the central army and the local army. The most famous example of the battle is the Battle of Wuyuan commanded by Fu Zuoyi in 1940, after which he killed 500 Japanese military technicians of Lieutenant General Mizukawa, Infantry Wing Captain Hashidasa, Commander of the Secret Service Agency, and Japanese military technicians of Wuhara Mine, killed 1,100 Japanese soldiers, and captured 50 Japanese commanders; 3,000 puppet Mongolian soldiers were killed. Fu Zuoyi himself was awarded the "Order of the Blue Sky and White Sun" for the second time after Chiang Kai-shek.
Of course, now that Wuyuan has become the territory of Han Yunhua's department, and the Japanese army's power in Saibei has almost been lost, it has become a mystery whether the Battle of Wuyuan will happen again, and Fu Zuoyi will definitely not become the second officer to be awarded the "Blue Sky and White Sun Medal", because this honor has been taken away by Han Yunhua in the Battle of Wuhan, and Han Yunhua himself has become the second lieutenant official to be awarded the "Blue Sky and White Sun Medal" after Chiang Kai-shek.
