Han Yunhua is still very moved by the trust of the superior leaders, he is familiar with history, he knows that the use of talents in history has always adopted the principle of preferring shortage to excess. People who don't trust, even if you are talented, you can only sit on the cold bench, for him, the "unruly" horse, the Party Central Committee is still very trusting, not only handed over a huge military region of Inner Mongolia to him, but also gave him great convenience in military operations, such trust is still rare in history, Han Yunhua knows that even the general of the Republic Xu Shiyou has been locked up in a small black house.

Han Yunhua sent a copy of the battle plan that had already been drawn up to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, and asked the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army to forward the original text of the ** to Yan'an. After doing all this, Han Yunhua sent another telegram to Yang Ruihua, ordering him to lead the 1st Independent Provisional Brigade, Zhuozishan Security Regiment, Fengzhen Security Regiment, Jining Garrison Regiment and other troops into Jining City, relying on a large number of fortifications that had already been built to attract the firepower of the Japanese army, and not allowing the troops to withdraw from Jining City without permission before receiving an order.

As early as after Han Yunhua's troops captured Jining City, Han Yunhua knew that they and the Japanese army would have an earth-shattering battle here, so Han Yunhua ordered the troops to build a large number of fortifications in the area around Jining early. At the same time, in Jining City, Han Yunhua sent more than 30,000 troops to build a large bunker group with a large number of refugees as the center of the Tiger Mountain Heights.

The Tiger Mountain Bunker Group was the biggest barrier for Han Yunhua to dare to let the Provisional Independent First Brigade resist the Devil's elite Sixth Division, and the huge suppressive effect of the Tiger Mountain Heights had been learned as early as when the Inner Mongolia Military Region attacked Jining City for the first time. At that time, Han Yunhua led tens of thousands of elites to launch a revenge operation against the Japanese army in Mongolia. The defenders stationed in Jining were only more than 10,000 people, and the main force was transferred out by Han Yunhua's design, but the Eighth Route Army, which had an absolute advantage, fought with the devils all night and did not completely occupy Jining. In the end, Han Yunhua could only rob Jining City and retreated helplessly.

In that battle, the reason why Han Yunhua's troops were still unable to completely capture Jining City despite having an absolute advantage was entirely because of the existence of this Tiger Mountain Heights. The geographical location of Jining is extremely important, but the protection of Jining City is very poor. First, there are no city walls in Jining City, and there are only dozens of small roadblocks. Second, the distribution of Jining urban area is relatively scattered, and the population is not large, so it is very laborious to manage. Therefore, after the Japanese army occupied Jining, the area around Tiger Mountain was listed as a military restricted area, and the Chinese people were strictly forbidden to go up Tiger Mountain. The Japanese army also built many pillboxes with Tiger Mountain as the center, and these pillboxes and some turrets, roadblocks, and fortresses outside Jining City formed a complete defense system.

After the troops of the Inner Mongolia Military Region occupied Jining, Han Yunhua mobilized a large number of troops to improve Jining's defense system, and all the pillboxes inside and outside Jining City were designed by Han Yunhua himself. For the sake of insurance, Han Yunhua invested a full 20,000 people in Jining City this time. He ordered Yang Ruihua to personally sit in Jining City, and his troops and horses must ensure that Jining City can be defended for more than a month and a half under the attack of the devils.

Han Yunhua's tough attitude was also expected by Shouichi in the temple, who originally thought that Han Yunhua's main force had advanced eastward to the northern Hebei region, and only some stragglers remained in Chahar, but now it seems that Chahar's Eighth Route Army is still very powerful.

Through the reconnaissance planes' approach, it was learned that at least more than 40,000 Chinese troops had gathered in Jining City, and they were also equipped with a small number of precious anti-aircraft weapons, and the two reconnaissance planes were destroyed when they approached to reconnoitre.

After getting this news, Terauchi Shou was overjoyed, and he discussed it with Lieutenant General Naosaburo Gangbe, and came to an astonishing conclusion that Han Yunhua should have more than 100,000 troops in his hands, of which nearly 60,000 troops were missing.

Judging from the news coming from the northern Hebei region in the past few days and the attacks in various places, the Chinese troops in the northern Hebei region should be about 50,000 people, otherwise it would be impossible for the northern Hebei region to fall into the hands of the enemy in just two days.

But even so, there are still nearly 20,000 troops in China who are missing. Terauchi Shouichi has been dealing with Han Yunhua for not a day or two, he knows that Han Yunhua is like a lone wolf in the dark night, if he doesn't make a move, as soon as he makes a move, the corpses will be all over the field and the blood will flow. Often, as soon as Han Yunhua's department made a move, it hit the joints of the North China Front, so that he, the commander, could not step down again and again, so he had to guard against Han Yunhua's department. ,

Thinking about it, Lieutenant General Terauchi Shouichi and Lieutenant General Okabe Naosaburo set their sights on Daqingshan, and Lieutenant General Terauchi Shouichi and Lieutenant General Okabe Naosaburo both agreed that a large number of troops must be stationed in Han Yunhua's old nest, Daqingshan and the surrounding area of Daqingshan.

So far, the two sides have invested a total of 250,000 troops in Chahar, northern Hebei, and Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei borders, and the scale of the battle has far exceeded the largest scale of the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese army.

On July 8, the 6th Division of the Japanese Army, the 1st, 6th, 18th, 1st and 2nd Infantry Divisions of the puppet Mongolian Army, a total of 50,000 troops, all arrived outside Jining. At the same time, the main force of the 26th Division and the 39th Infantry Brigade, with a total strength of about 11,000 people, also captured the front banner of the right flank of Chahar and rushed to the foot of Jining City.

The two units of the Japanese army met in Jining, the largest city under the jurisdiction of the Inner Mongolia Military Region, which greatly enhanced the arrogance of the Japanese army, and the artillery of the Sixth Division carried out an artillery bombardment of Jining City for half an hour that night, thus opening the prelude to the offensive and defensive battle of Jining that lasted for half a month.

When the battle of Jining began, Han Yunhua also led his troops to leave Chicheng County, and led his troops into Fengning County that night.

On the same day, the 21st Division and the Yamashita Brigade, which had just been dormant for two days, also received orders and began to attack Yang Chengwu's headquarters with all their might. However, this time the 21st Division was not as lucky as the last time, just two days ago, the guard brigade of the Inner Mongolia Military Region also rushed to Zhangbei County, and Yang Chengwu armed nearly six regiments of troops with captured weapons and equipment.

The "recruits" of these six regiments were all recruited and trained by Yang Chengwu's headquarters after they were stationed in Zhangbei, including Liu Laohei and others who escaped from Lama Mountain, and more than 10,000 people were demoted to local garrison troops by Yang Chengwu because of weapons and ammunition, and they were not counted in the battle sequence of the first assault brigade. In fact, in addition to the fact that these six regiments have some junk weapons and equipment, their combat effectiveness is still very good, although they cannot compete with the elite of the first assault brigade and one regiment, but it is still no problem to attack the general devil garrison.

In this way, Yang Chengwu had more than 30,000 troops in his hands, which was more than 10,000 more than the total strength of the 21st Division and the Yamashita Brigade, so Yang Chengwu looked at the Japanese army's attack with a welcoming attitude.

Still in Daya Bay, Yang Chengwu and the 21st Division clashed again, this time the battle ended quickly, the 21st Division only took three hours to break through the position of the Eighth Route Army head-on, fortunately the Eighth Route Army in the position escaped quickly, otherwise it would be easy to be dumpled by the Japanese army.

This time, taking advantage of the arrogance of the Japanese army, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army gave the 21st Division of the attacking side a painful lesson, and in just two hours of offensive and defensive operations, the 21st Division lost more than 1,300 people, which made the commander of the 21st Division really feel painful for a while.
