After Wang Jian's report, Li Dabao got up and said: "Commander, our regiment is stationed in the territory of the rear banner of the right wing of Chahar, which is one of the richest places in the Chahar region. There are more villages and towns, and the landlords are more concentrated, and the devils also take a fancy to this piece of fat with oil and water, and stationed two elite infantry in the local reinforced squadron, and at the same time formed a large number of puppet armies. There are also a large number of turret strongholds in the territory of Houqi, and the number is more than forty. After we arrived at Houqi, we quickly organized our troops to defeat all the strongholds outside the county town of Guizi County within a week, and won the support of the local people. So far, our regiment has four regular infantry battalions, one cavalry battalion, one fire support battalion, and one artillery battalion, with a total strength of 4,156 troops. In addition, our regiment has formed 4 county brigades at the battalion level and 13 district squadrons at the company level, and each village has an armed militia. ”

Han Yunhua smiled: "Very good, much better than I expected." Then he said to Wan Guoquan, the head of the new third regiment: "Lao Wan, tell me about the situation of your new third regiment!" ”

Wan Guoquan stood up and replied: "Commander, our regiment only began to develop outward after the revenge operation, and Shangdu, Huade and the barren people and the devils only symbolically set up two small strongholds in this area, and all the garrisons together were less than a hundred, and we never sent troops to station in this area after we ate them. However, the folk customs in this area are relatively fierce, and there are also a lot of bandits, whether these bandits or bandits are local squires or Japanese devils, or even our Eighth Route Army, as long as they find an opportunity, they can't escape the fate of being robbed, and the means are extremely cruel. When we first arrived in this area, the transport company of a logistics department of our regiment was robbed by bandits on the Old Wolf Mountain while transporting supplies, and all the soldiers of a company were killed. Then our regiment launched a purge of bandits and rogues in this area, and if we don't want to be completely destroyed, then we have only the option of being absorbed by our department. After more than two months of fighting, our regiment eliminated a total of 46 bandits and horse bandits of various types, such as those who occupied the mountains and those who came and went without a trace, and 31 of them were willing to be absorbed by our unit. At present, our regiment has 7 infantry battalions, 6 cavalry battalions, 1 artillery battalion, and 1 engineer battalion, with a total strength of 6,167 people. Due to the relatively short time for the expansion of the troops, and the fact that there were no devils to fight in this area, the troops were extremely short of heavy weapons, especially light and heavy machine guns. Our entire regiment is now only equipped with 165 light and heavy machine guns, less than half of the 99th regiment, and we hope that the commander will equip our regiment with some heavy weapons. ”

After listening to the reports of the three regiment commanders, Han Yunhua was happy in his heart, and said emotionally: "Yes, like my soldiers." We are the Eighth Route Army under the leadership of the Communist Party and the people's armed forces, and our duty is to protect the safety of the people's lives and property from being infringed upon. At first, the little devils sent a brigade to attack us, and we won. Then the little devil sent four more wings of troops to attack us, and we also won. This time, the little devils dispatched 40,000 people in a vain attempt to destroy us, and we will still win, because we have thousands of China's most simple people behind us to support us. Han Yunhua breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "Comrades, one-on-one single-handedly, we are not the opponent of the little devils, this is a fact, we can't deny it. The reason why we have been able to defeat the little devils again and again is because we have a tenacious will to fight and a discipline of steel. I think this is not an ordinary encirclement and counter-encirclement, this is a direct collision of the souls of the two nations, and it is a face-to-face battle between the Chinese dragon soul and the Yamato demon soul, so we can only win this battle and not lose it. ”

Everyone stood up and said loudly: "Resolutely complete the task, use me in the first battle, and use me to win." ”

Han Yunhua solemnly gave a military salute to all the regiment commanders and political commissars, and then said solemnly: "My battle plan is to first attack the Japanese army with cavalry troops, attract the Japanese cavalry troops to pursue, attract Gu Shoufu's cavalry troops to a narrow strip of land thirty-five kilometers east of Zhuozishan County, and then concentrate three cavalry regiments and cooperate with the fire support regiment to annihilate them all in this area. The infantry, on the other hand, relied on the favorable terrain on both sides of the road leading from Zhuozishan County to Jining to block the enemy's reinforcements, and used the low mountains and hills on both sides of the mountain road to kill and injure a large number of enemy living forces. ”

Then he continued: "Now let me arrange the combat mission of a regiment, the 99th Regiment and the New Third Regiment will build the first line of defense on both sides of the mountain road 20 kilometers east of Zhuozishan County, and they cannot cut off traffic for the time being. The New Fourth Regiment and the First Artillery Regiment relied on favorable terrain to build a second line of defense 10 kilometers behind the first line of defense, and they also could not cut off the communication road. The New Sixth Regiment and the Second Artillery Regiment will build a third line of defense ten kilometers behind the second line of defense, and your defense line must be built into an east-west two-way attack position. The fire support regiment set up a machine gun position at the entrance and exit of the narrow strip between the second line of defense and the third line of defense, and these two machine gun positions must be concealed, my opinion is that the base of the heavy machine gun is shallow buried in the soil by earthwork, and the soldiers are hidden in the trenches, and the position at the entrance is covered with thick wooden planks after it is done, and the soldiers and machine guns are hidden in the trenches under the planks, and wait until the enemy's cavalry units have passed before coming out, after completing the task, The fire support regiment quickly joined the second line of defense to join the sequence of troops blocking the enemy. Each infantry regiment must build at least two blocking lines in their respective defense lines, one by one for the enemy to attack, and immediately retreat to the next line of defense after killing and wounding a large number of enemies to continue to block the enemy, each regiment must think of their own retreat back road, do not let the enemy bite the tail, you have to face a semi-mechanized infantry with a large number of vehicles. ”,

After finishing speaking, Han Yunhua paused for a few minutes and added: "Finally, I want to remind everyone to pay special attention to the enemy's artillery unit, as far as I know, this sixth division is equipped with thirty-six 120mm howitzers and twelve 75mm field guns, and the largest caliber gun of our army is only 75mm mountain artillery or field artillery, and other people's 120mm howitzers are not at the same level, which is why I no longer have artillery on the first line of defense. By the time the enemy is busy chasing down our soldiers who have retreated from the first line of defense, their bulky heavy artillery units will definitely not be able to keep up for the time being, so we will have a way to deal with these little devils, do you understand? ”

"Understood"

"Obey the order, and remember that there are thousands of unarmed civilians behind us, and their safety will be entrusted to you." Han Yunhua said solemnly.

All the regiment commanders and political commissars stood up and said solemnly and loudly: "Use me in the first battle, use me to win"

In fact, Gu Shoufu did not agree with Lieutenant General Pan Liannuma's use of nearly 40,000 elite troops to encircle and suppress the Eighth Route Army, and like most of the Japanese officers' views, in Gu Shoufu's eyes, the Chinese Army was just a group of prepared sushi that could be eaten at any time. The Kuomintang Central Army, the most combat-ready in the Chinese Army, was crushed in the face of the bayonets of his Sixth Division, and even their capital city of Nanjing, which could make a big wave.

Although Gu Shoufu was surprised by Han Yunhua's achievements, he did not think that Han Yunhua's troops were also favored by his Sixth Division.

After half a day's march, Gu Shoufu rushed to the county seat of Zhuozishan County at four o'clock in the afternoon of April 13, and his destination this time was Jining, and then through Jining, he directly attacked Daqingshan, Xinghe County, Han Yunhua's old nest.

After arriving in Zhuozishan County, Gu Shoufu did not continue to move forward, but under the leadership of the military police captain of Zhuozishan County, he had a good "tour" of the scenery of Zhuozishan County, during which he "visited" several landlords and old wealth in Zhuozishan County, grabbed a large amount of gold and silver, and even a few white and tender flower girls.

The next day, Gu Shoufu still did not march to Jining, but sent a large number of cavalry to carry out a large-scale cleanup of the villages near the county seat of Zhuozishan County, where the men, old people and children of the villages where the devils passed were all killed, young women were taken away, and all livestock, grain and property were robbed. Fortunately, last night Han Yunhua asked the cavalry regiment to help the nearby people transfer overnight, and the young and middle-aged men and women basically fled into the nearby mountains, but most of the livestock, food, property and the elderly were not transferred, and they were poisoned by the devils.

In the temporary headquarters of the twenty miles of Zhuozishan County, Han Yunhua frowned and listened to the latest movements of the devils reported by Qian Zhuangfei.

Hu Jiatai, the commander of the Eighth Cavalry Regiment, was an anxious man, and seeing that Han Yunhua was still thinking about it, he said loudly: "Commander, what else is there to think, you let us attack quickly." Eighteen villages have already been poisoned by devils, and it will be too late. ”

Han Yunhua said angrily: "Shut up, I'll let you attack when it's time to attack, don't make trouble for me here." Then there was an analysis: "According to the intelligence sent by Director Qian Zhuangfei, the devil's infantry are all nested in the county town, and the devil's cavalry is an elite squadron with a puppet army cavalry battalion to attack the villages in Zhuozi Mountain everywhere. In this way, the devil now has a total of about nine Qingxiang squads, each of which is about 450 to 500 people. Now listen to my orders: the 4th Cavalry Regiment, the 8th Cavalry Regiment, and the 9th Cavalry Regiment quickly assemble, attack the Japanese cavalry detachments as regiments, and do their best to annihilate them every time they encounter them. ”

Tong Jiayong, Hu Jiatai and others hurriedly shouted "yes", and then quickly gathered their respective troops to kill the devil cavalry who burned and looted everywhere.
