The news of Han Yunhua's capture of Pengze soon spread to Wuhan, Chiang Kai-shek and Chen Cheng and other senior generals were surprised, how did this Han Yunhua do it, you must know the information from the military commander, Pengze County is defended by a complete Japanese infantry brigade, and at the same time, the Japanese army also sent an additional brigade of reinforcements. The Japanese army had placed two infantry brigades in such a small county town, and such a defensive arrangement had raised the importance of Pengze County to an unprecedented height.

But such an important military town was silently recovered by Han Yunhua's subordinates, how could Chiang Kai-shek and others not be surprised? When the news reached Wuhan, people from all walks of life in Wuhan were again jubilant. Chiang Kai-shek, Chen Cheng and many senior generals sent congratulatory messages to Han Yunhua's department at the same time, congratulating Han Yunhua's department on its new achievements.

This time, Chiang Kai-shek was no longer a verbal compliment, and the day after Han Yunhua's telegram was reported to Wuhan, a major general of the chamberlain, Gao Shen, rushed to the Hukou fortress by plane. When he learned that Han Yunhua was now inspecting the front line of Pengze, this Xie Gaoshen immediately drove to Pengze. Xie Gaoshen was accompanied by several reporters from the mouthpiece media of both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party.

After receiving Li Dayong's telegram, Han Yunhua immediately went to Peng Zeximen to greet this Xie Gaoshen with a face full of Wang Yuanhua, Han Yunhua knew that this Xie Gaoshen was a god of wealth at this time, but he couldn't be lazy.

Sure enough, this Xie Gao said loudly as soon as he saw Han Yunhua: "Congratulations to Brother Yunhua, your department has made another great achievement, and after the victory in Hukou, it has recovered the military town of Pengze, which is gratifying, and I am very happy this time, so I specially sent my brother to come to the labor army, and I will look at Brother Yunhua Haihan where I am disturbed."

Han Yunhua smiled secretly in his heart, although the current geographical location of this Pengze County is very important, after all, this place has become the forefront of the war between China and Japan. But it is definitely not the title of a military town, and the reason why this Xie Gaoshen said this is completely to add gold to Han Yunhua's face. Han Yunhua didn't expose it, but followed the words of this Xie Gaoshen and said: "Where is it, Brother Xie is a pillar of the country, and this words make Yunhua embarrassed." ”

Xie Gaoshen also knew the current position of Han Yunhua in the hearts of the high-level leaders of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, so he didn't dare to be too careless, and immediately said: "Don't hide it from Brother Yunhua, brother, I came this time on the orders of Chairman Jiang and Vice Chairman Zhou of your party to come to Pengze to work on the front line, and at the same time to do an interview with you, a well-known anti-Japanese hero, brother. I also know that it is inappropriate to do such a thing in the imminent war, but this is a political task jointly assigned by the party-state and your party, so I hope that the Yunhua brothers will cooperate. ”

Han Yunhua didn't say whether to cooperate or not, but turned his head and asked, "I wonder if Brother Xie has brought some supplies to our department when he came to the labor army this time?" As a result of the successive battles, our army suffered heavy losses, especially the weapons and ammunition were almost exhausted, and I wonder if Chairman Chiang has already sent the supplies promised to our army. ”

Xie Gaoshen has always been a difficult senior general, but he never knew that this Han Yunhua would have such a headache. Is this obviously blackmail, but Chen Cheng still has a certain understanding of Han Yunhua, and he will take advantage of it, and there is no ambiguity. Therefore, Chen Cheng had long expected that Xie Gaoshen would definitely return empty-handed when he went to this mission empty-handed, so he suggested that Lao Jiang bring the batch of supplies promised to Han Yunhua's department with him.

Xie Gaoshen smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Yunhua, as far as I know, just the day before we left, Chief Chen had already sent your department's supplies over. Since I came by plane, and your supplies are delivered by train, I am still on the road. But thinking that the time is almost up, the Yunhua brothers can't help but ask the troops in Hukou? ”

Han Yunhua snorted, and said with some humor: "Don't hide it from Brother Xie, we are a force that fought out of the ravines, and there is nothing else, only a poor word, which cannot be erased from beginning to end." This time, our army went south to participate in the Battle of Wuhan, and the Party Central Committee concentrated all the weapons and ammunition that the whole army could get their hands on, so we could not afford to lose, let alone fail. ”

Obviously, Xie Gaoshen also knew the details of Han Yunhua's department, and he didn't believe Han Yunhua's words at all. If that is the case, then the more than 300,000 troops of the North China Front of the Japanese Army are all eating dry food, and they can't even defeat a squadron that can't guarantee supplies and ammunition, how dare they mix in China, let alone completely destroy China. ,

However, at this time, Xie Gaoshen did not dare to refute this anti-Japanese hero with a high reputation at home and abroad. I had to say depressedly: "Brother Yunhua, let's see if you let those reporters and ladies outside the door come in." It's not the same thing to keep people outside the door all the time. ”

Han Yunhua patted his head and said, "Yes... Yes..., look at my memory, Wei Peng quickly invited those reporters to the living room, this time we were rude. ”

To Han Yunhua's surprise, the three reporters who came this time were all beautiful ladies, and two of them were twins. As soon as he entered the door, Han Yunhua took the initiative to say: "I'm very sorry, this time because of some special military secrets brought by Xie Gaoshen, it is our fault that we have made you wait for so long." ”

Xie Gaoshen, who was on the side, pursed his lips and shook his head depressedly. secretly said in his heart, how could this Han Yunhua be so shameless, black and white reversed. It's clear that he's deliberately wasting time, but in the end, it's not mine. But think about it, he is an anti-Japanese hero with a heavy army, and he is just a major general with no post and no power. The two of them are not people on the same level at all, and what people say is what they say. Now what Xie Gaoshen desires most is to complete this task quickly, and then stay away from this hateful Communist general, otherwise he will always be eaten clean in the end, leaving no dregs.

Xie Gaoshen smiled unnaturally at the three beautiful reporters, and said: "Brigade Commander Han Yunhua is here now, if you have anything to say, you can ask him now, I am just an accompanying guest, so I will not bother you next, I will protect everyone and leave after you finish the interview, if there is anything, everyone hurry up, I will go back to the barracks first." After speaking, Xie Gaoshen turned around and walked out.

After Xie Gaoshen left, Han Yunhua invited the three reporters to his office in Pengze County, and then introduced himself: "I think you already know who I am before you come here, and I didn't need to introduce myself to this one, but since you want to make a propaganda for me, then I have to say a few words." I am Han Yunhua, the commander of the 77th Independent Brigade of the Eighth Route Army of the National ** Army, and I am also an honorable ** member. Now that I and the Chinese national defense forces I have led have come to the big city of Wuhan and the small county town of Pengze, our purpose is very simple, that is, to resist Japan. We will not and are not qualified to participate in matters between higher-level leaders, but leaving aside the political level, I can say with a clear conscience to all the patriotic people who are bent on resisting Japan and caring about China's destiny that I am a Chinese. ”

After Han Yunhua finished speaking, one of the twin beauties said crisply: "General Han, I am a reporter under the Military and Political Department of the National Government, my name is He Jia, and this is my sister He Ya." I don't know that you know that Miss Fan and I of your party are here with political tasks. Although in the battle on the periphery of Wuhan, your army has repeatedly achieved good results, but in the entire theater of war, our army is still at an absolute disadvantage, so you are now a banner, an immortal banner of our Chinese nation, and an anti-Japanese hero recognized by both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, so I hope that in the following interviews you can speak freely and boldly express your views. ”

Han Yunhua nodded in agreement, and the first question to be asked was Fan Yun, a reporter from Xinhua Daily, as a journalist who has been working in the enemy war zone, Fan Yun's political sense is not as bad as those old Jiang who often work in government departments. For Han Yunhua, an anti-Japanese hero vigorously promoted by both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, Fan Yun has been famous for a long time, but he has never had the opportunity to meet. Finally, there was such an opportunity to get in touch with this hero in the party at close range, Fan Yun was very excited in his heart, and asked as soon as he opened his mouth: "Comrade Han Yunhua, I am Fan Yun, a reporter from the Wuhan main station of Xinhua Daily, and I heard about your name when I was in Yan'an. According to some records of our party, it is said that this majestic and mighty army you are now leading was built by you, and neither the party Central Committee nor the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army have given any support. ”

Han Yunhua smiled: "How to say it, the question you just asked is basically true, but there is still one thing that needs to be corrected." At that time, our new regiment suddenly met with the main force of the 21st Brigade of the elite fifth division of the Japanese army on the way to the anti-Japanese front, and the two sides fought an encounter unprepared, in this battle our army was defeated, and the troops suffered heavy losses, and when we got rid of the pursuit of the Japanese army, the troops were only more than 400 people left, and the new regiment at that time rushed to Xinghe County in the south of Chahar. At that time, almost all of the new regiment were wounded, few were capable of fighting, and there was an extreme shortage of weapons and ammunition, and it had lost contact with its superiors, and the situation was very miserable. But even so, our fighters still did not give up hope, fought against the devils continuously under extremely difficult conditions, and developed themselves while resisting Japan. During this period, our soldiers made great sacrifices, but we achieved great results, and the Japanese militarist forces in northern China were almost wiped out. Although the growth of our department is inseparable from our own efforts, and it is true that the party Central Committee and the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army have not given us any material assistance, it absolutely cannot be said that the party Central Committee and the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army have not played any role in the development of our department. On the contrary, the party has played a decisive role in the development of our troops, and this role is mainly manifested in the ideological and spiritual level of the troops. The troops we lead are able to fight again and again, and they will fight endlessly as soon as they survive, mainly because we have a great party. Further down there are some issues at the political level, so I won't go into them all here, but if there are any other questions, please hurry up? ”

This beautiful reporter belonging to the Nationalist Government was very dissatisfied with being robbed of the opportunity to ask questions by Fan Yun for the first time, but He Jia was also very interested in this young general, and she boldly asked: "General Han, during the Battle of Saibei, your army used a brigade to resist hundreds of thousands of troops of the North China Front of the Japanese Army, and also defeated the Japanese army, and the lieutenant general and major general lost a large number of them, does this mean that the combat effectiveness of your army has completely surpassed the Japanese army?" ”
