On March 25, after 13 days of night travel, Lu Zhengcao finally returned to Ulanhot with more than 3,000 Soviet elites and a large number of weapons and equipment. At the same time, Li Dingguo was also urgently recalled to Ulanhot by Han Yunhua. Let him take over the training of the Soviet special forces.

With the help of this batch of weapons and equipment, Han Yunhua has more confidence in the next war against Japan. After Han Yunhua discussed with the top level of the Inner Mongolia Military Region, it was decided that the Inner Mongolia Military Region will set up two sets of teams from now on, that is, Han Yunhua will lead all the deputy personnel of the military region to set up a separate headquarters in Ulanhot, while Luo Ronghuan will lead the former senior officers and cadres of the military region to continue to stay at the headquarters. On the one hand, this was of course done out of the idea that eggs could not be put in one basket, and on the other hand, the issue of commanding operations in the northeast region in the future.

As everyone knows, things on the battlefield are changing rapidly, and no one can say for sure, so although it is necessary to take a certain amount of risk when approaching the command, it is possible to grasp and understand the situation on the battlefield, which is helpful to the operation of the troops. The Japanese Kwantung Army was not an ordinary enemy, but Han Yunhua did not dare to attack at will. Even during this period of time, all units of the Northeast People's Liberation Army were reorganized, and although the vast majority of the troops were not fully established due to the limited number of troops, the combat effectiveness and command flexibility of the troops were greatly improved, but despite this, Han Yunhua still did not order the troops to attack rashly.

The separation of the leadership group made the central government very worried, but Han Yunhua insisted on this, and after some discussion at the top level of the central government, it was decided to agree with the Inner Mongolia Military Region to do so, respecting Han Yunhua's opinion. However, the central government also strictly forbade Han Yunhua to go to the battlefield in person, especially strictly forbidden him to carry out the task in person, in order to supervise him, the central government specially transferred a secretary to him from Yan'an, and it was also a female secretary.

Liu Yueqin, female, * party member, born in 1918, from Beiping. In 33 years he joined the * Youth League, in 36 years he joined the party, * comrades on the secret front. In fact, when Han Yunhua saw Liu Yueqin for the first time, he knew that this female secretary who was only 24 years old was not simple, and out of the intuition of special forces, he concluded that this Liu Yueqin must be from the Central Special Branch, that is, the secret agency, intelligence agency and secret service agency. Although Han Yunhua didn't know what the Central Committee meant by putting this spy comrade next to him, he could only do it and didn't know what to do.

Fortunately, Liu Yueqin is just doing her own work, usually bringing tea and water to Han Yunhua, or tidying up the room and sorting out less important documents. As long as Han Yunhua is in her sight every day, she will not trouble Han Yunhua, but once Han Yunhua disappears for more than an hour, then Liu Yueqin will go directly to the headquarters to find him, and she has no scruples at all.

In fact, Han Yunhua also wondered, if the central government secretly planted a spy next to him, he would admit it, after all, his identity is extremely special now, especially the relationship with the Soviets is extremely close in the eyes of outsiders, and it is understandable that the central government is a little uneasy about him. But the spy lady in front of her was simply unscrupulous, and she didn't hide it at all, which made Han Yunhua at a loss. Even Liu Yueqin openly said to Han Yunhua, I was sent by the central government to monitor you, your eating, drinking, lazing and sleeping are all under my control, and you must not leave my line of sight without my consent, of course, I have no right to punish you Han Commander, but if you go to the battlefield or perform a mission without permission, I will report to the Central Committee and the 385th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army as soon as possible.

It is understandable to report to the Central Committee, but why do you have to report to the 385 Brigade, and Han Yunhua immediately realized that Li Yuhan didn't serve in the 385 Brigade, and it was understandable for this little spy to sue the Central Committee, but why did he bring a complaint to his wife. But depressed is depressed, don't say it, Liu Yueqin's arrival made Han Yunhua stop a lot. Originally, Han Yunhua planned to personally perform a few simple tasks to demonstrate to these Soviets, but after Liu Yueqin made such a fuss, Han Yunhua really didn't have the courage. The central government will just criticize it, and will not punish it too severely. But Yuhan is not easy to explain, besides, the female secretary complained to his wife about his situation, Han Yunhua laughed when he thought about it. …,

However, at this point, Han Yunqian can see more clearly than her brother, the central government has no choice but to take her brother, and the order that senior cadres are not allowed to directly participate in the battle has long been issued by the central government, but Han Yunhua has no intention of complying with it at all, and often puts himself in a dangerous situation, and the central government has nothing to do with him. Originally, the Central Committee handed over the task of controlling Han Yunhua to the successive political commissars, but I don't know if Han Yunhua's popularity is good or what, anyway, the political commissars have responded to any request from Han Yunhua in the end, which makes the Central Committee extremely helpless. In the end, the chairman thought of a way, that is, to send a life secretary to Han Yunhua to report Han Yunhua's whereabouts to the Central Committee at all times, preferably an experienced female secretary, once Han Yunhua is disobedient and engages in personal heroism or adventurism, then this female secretary has the right to report the news to the Central Committee or Li Yuhan of the 385th Brigade.

The chairman concluded that it was absolutely impossible for Han Yunhua to get angry with a young girl, let alone ignore Yuhan's feelings. In addition, the most important point is that the identity of He Yajing, president of the rear general hospital of the Inner Mongolia Military Region and doctor of medicine in Liuyang, was exposed, and the central government learned that the quiet female doctor was actually the youngest daughter of a certain senior member of the Kuomintang, and was a real big landlord and big bourgeoisie, and the purpose of this Miss He to the Inner Mongolia Military Region seemed to have something to do with Han Yunhua, so in order to prevent that Miss He from hooking away Han Yunhua's soul, the central government had to send Xiao Chili who had been trained by Li Kenong to Han Yunhua's side.

Depressed is depressed, life always needs to be lived. Due to the fact that a large number of special combat teams of the Inner Mongolia Military Region were active in the northeast region during this period, causing huge casualties to the Japanese puppet army, and nearly 50,000 reinforcements had already arrived at the port of Dalian, the base camp ordered General Yamada Otosan to immediately formulate an operational plan to sweep away the resistance forces in the northeast region.

At the same time, Han Yunhua was not idle, when the weapons and equipment aided by the Soviet Union arrived in Ulanhot, Han Yunhua immediately ordered the engineering unit to set up an arsenal under Ulanhot, install and debug the Soviet ammunition production line, and urgently transfer the 37th, 39th, 44th, 48th, 51st, 52nd, 55th, 1st Tank Division, 1st Armored Vehicle Brigade, 1st Motorized Infantry Brigade, 1st Artillery Brigade, Air Defense Regiment, and other troops to the northeast front.

On March 29, 1942, cadres at and above the division level in the northeast region of the Inner Mongolia Military Region held a military mobilization meeting, which was dedicated to discussing the war against Japan. Originally, the units of the Northeast People's Liberation Army had not yet been reorganized, and Zhao Shangzhi, commander of the 3rd Field Army, had not yet recovered from his injuries, so it was not suitable for a major war with the Kwantung Army at all. However, Han Yunhua knew that if he did not start preparing for the battle against the Kwantung Army now, he would probably lose the initiative in the battle, and the Japanese army's tens of millions of troops in Northeast China certainly had the intention of holding on to the Northeast, but the most important thing was to completely wipe out the squadron in the Northeast.

"Comrades, now that our troops are strong and strong, and the morale of all the troops has recovered after a few months of rest, I think it's time to practice with little devils, don't look at so many of our troops hanging around here, in fact, we don't even have a revolutionary base in the northeast, it's really a bit shameless to be ashamed of Jiangdong!" Han Yunhua said.

"Commander, now the soldiers of our various units are not yet full, especially the Second Field Army and the Third Field Army formed by the Anti-United Nations Forces are still just an empty shell, and there is not much combat effectiveness at all, take our Second Field Army as an example, the whole army was originally 62,000 people according to the structure to be considered full, but now there are actually less than 20,000 people, and the remaining nearly 50,000 people are just Arabic numbers on paper, and these troops were originally scattered all over North Manchuria, and now they are gathered to fight, There are also many problems, they have no experience in fighting large units and large corps, and I, the army commander, have commanded only a few thousand people at most, and there has really not been a single battle of more than 10,000 people, so it will be a loss to rush up and fight the Japanese army, so I think we should train for a while. Li Zhaolin, commander of the Second Field Army, put forward a proposal based on the current actual situation of the Northeast People's Liberation Army. …,

Han Yunhua did not answer Li Zhaolin's question, but turned to Lu Zhengcao and asked: "Old Lu, you are the commander of the Northeast People's Liberation Army, and you are also the commander-in-chief of the Northeast Front, you know the situation of the Northeast People's Liberation Army best, let me tell you how many layers of combat effectiveness your People's Liberation Army has." ”

Lu Zhengcao was not pretentious, and immediately got up after hearing the order and said: "The establishment of our PLA is 3 field armies and a headquarters, with a total of 12 infantry divisions and a small number of directly subordinate troops, with a full strength of 220,000 troops. After the initial reorganization, the situation of the First Field Army is now the best, with more than half of the 62,000-strong full strength, and the First Field Army now has a total of 11 reorganized regiments, with a total strength of more than 40,000 troops, and is well equipped with weapons and equipment. Moreover, the garrison of the First Field Army is not far from Ulanhot, so it has already been redressed two days ago, and now it can fully match the three integrated divisions of the Japanese army. Then Lu Zhengcao said: "The Second Field Army has just been said by Commander Li, I will not repeat it, now I will talk about the actual situation of the Third Field Army and our headquarters, the Third Field Army is mainly composed of North Manchurian guerrilla troops, formerly known as the Third Route Army of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, but because the Third Route Army is mainly active in Jiamusi and other places, that area is the center of gravity of the Japanese army, plus Comrade Zhao Shangzhi was captured some time ago, the losses of the troops are not small, and the morale is also extremely low, and now the whole army is only more than 8,000 people, The weaponry is also extremely backward, and the Japanese army has now concentrated two infantry brigades to carry out a large-scale encirclement and suppression of the Third Field Army, although it is only a partial encirclement and suppression campaign, but the situation of the Third Route Army is still not optimistic. As for the headquarters of our PLA, it is not bad, the headquarters already has 16 integrated regiments of 3,300 people, which are combined into 3 integrated infantry divisions, and the other 4 infantry regiments will be supplemented into the Third Field Army, in addition to the headquarters also has 2 cavalry divisions, an artillery battalion and a guard battalion, which can be regarded as the most complete combat unit of the PLA. ”

"Yes, it is commendable to basically complete the reorganization within a month, but comrades, we only fight with the Japanese army in three forms of combat, the first is that you fight me and I don't fight back, just like the '918 Incident' The Japanese army fully invaded the Northeast region, the Nationalist Government issued an order of non-resistance, and hundreds of thousands of Northeast Army troops entered the customs without firing a single shot. For example, in the Battle of Songhu in 32, the Japanese army attacked Shanghai on a large scale, and the Nationalist Government mobilized a large army to fight back. The third is that I know that you are going to hit me, so I will hit you first, which is called preemptive strike. At this time, there was no reason for the war to be unreasonable, and it was won for a hundred years, and the country was destroyed and the species was wiped out. Not only do we have to work hard, but the little devils also have to use their strength to eat milk, so whether it is us or the little devils are rushing for time, grabbing the initiative of the war, we have lost the initiative in the war in the Guannai, so we must take one step ahead of the border to attack the little devils, although this time it is said that it is fought in the name of your People's Liberation Army, but the troops participating in the war are not only the Northeast People's Liberation Army, the Northeast Army Division, the Eastern Hebei Army Division, the Saibei Army Division, the Beiping Army Division, and the Hebei Central Army Division must send troops to the north. So don't worry about the number of troops, I'll give you a thorough understanding first, now the 12 cavalry divisions, 6 infantry divisions and 40,000 Mongolian herdsmen cavalry of the Northeast Army Division have been assembled and can attack at any time. Nearly 400,000 troops of 15 super-sized infantry divisions and 6 cavalry divisions of the Eastern Hebei Army Division are also ready for battle, and the two route armies alone have exceeded 700,000 people, plus your hundreds of thousands of troops, the total strength has reached more than 800,000, and there are also a large number of reserve troops that are constantly moving to the northeast, so we must fight this battle, and we must fight it cleanly. Han Yunhua said domineeringly. …,

The cadres in the conference room were called enthusiastic by Han Yunhua, grandma, it is really incredible, this little commander looks quiet if he doesn't make a move, this shot is an army of 1.8 million, amazing.

"Then how should we fight this battle, commander, and what is the goal?" Zhou Baozhong knew that the battle was inevitable, so he changed the subject and talked about something practical.

"Hehehe, now the Japanese troops in the northeast are divided into defense areas according to the establishment of divisions and regiments, and each division is stationed in an area, except for Harbin, Shenyang, Changchun, Dalian, and Lushun, which need more than two divisions and regiments to garrison, the rest are only a division or brigade to defend, this time we will pick soft persimmons to pinch." Saying that, Han Yunhua walked to the Northeast military map hanging on the wall and said: "Although this broken map is something from Zhang Xueliang's period, it is very rough and has many mistakes. But basically things haven't changed, you look here (Harbin), here (Changchun) and here (Shenyang), I don't say the importance of these three cities, everyone understands, according to intelligence, the Japanese army in Harbin and the surrounding areas stationed a total of 3 infantry divisions and an independent mixed brigade, in addition to the puppet Manchukuo 3 infantry divisions. In Changchun and its surrounding areas, the Japanese army stationed a total of 2 infantry divisions and 6 puppet Manchurian infantry divisions and 2 cavalry divisions, including Puyi's 1st Guards Division. The Japanese garrison in Shenyang was even greater, with four infantry divisions and one independent mixed brigade and two tank wings, as well as two artillery brigades and an aviation group. These three cities alone are stationed in the Japanese army with a full nine infantry divisions and 3 independent mixed brigades and a large number of technical troops, which shows that the focus of the little devil's rule is still in the big cities and the traffic points along the big cities, and Harbin, Changchun and Shenyang seem to be a blockade line separating the east and west of the northeast, don't look at the little devils are now sharp, the Kwantung Army shows off its might, but as long as we cross this blockade line, we are like a monkey who has entered the belly of the princess of the iron fan, and the garrison of the little devils in the hinterland of the northeast is extremely weak, So our strategic goal this time is to advance into the hinterland of the Northeast. When Comrade Yang Jingyu was there, we carried out two expeditions to the west in order to preserve the strength of the troops, and this time we wanted to go east in order to enter the heart of the enemy. In addition to the strategic goal, we must also have a tactical goal, and the tactical goal is very simple, that is, to fill the establishment of the Northeast People's Liberation Army for me, and if it is not enough, we will fill it with the puppet army. ”、

After a pause, Han Yunhua continued: "Comrades, let me first talk about my battle concept, first of all, the main forces of our Northeast Liberation Army are all in place, but they cannot take the lead in attacking, the leading position is Shen Yuquan's Northeast Army Division and Commander Chen's Eastern Hebei Army Division, which will first be directly attacked by their two army divisions on the front line of Shuangliao, Baicheng, Suizhong, and Lingyuan, attracting the main force of the Japanese Kwantung Army to the west to reinforce the defenders in these areas, The Northeast People's Liberation Army (PLA), on the other hand, moved directly from the weak area between Harbin and Changchun to the regional activities between Harbin and the Mudanjiang region. The defenders of the Japanese army in that area are far less than the Japanese puppet army in the border area and the Hachangshen area, and there are troops from the Northeast Army Division, the Eastern Hebei Army Division and the Saibei Army Division in front to attract you the main force of the Japanese army, and you should soon be able to gain a firm foothold there, and this time your weapons and equipment have been replaced with Soviet standard weapons, which is more than a level higher than the previous broken guns and broken guns, so you have to fight for me, especially your Northeast People's Liberation Army. I'm here to make Saibei, Northeast. The three military subdivisions in eastern Hebei set up a stage and let you sing a good show, but don't mess it up for me. ”

"Don't worry, Commander, although our Northeast People's Liberation Army only has 130,000 people now, as long as the main force of the Kwantung Army does not come to encircle and suppress us, I, Lu Zhengcao, have the confidence to make a hole in the enemy's hinterland." Lu Zhengcao said loudly.

"Well, I'll wait for your good news. In addition, I want to warn you a word, especially the troops who have just been transferred from the battlefield in Guannai, you must not underestimate the combat effectiveness of the puppet army in Guannai, I tell you, compared to the puppet army in Guannai, the combat effectiveness of the puppet army in the northeast is extremely strong, so give me a little more leisurely when accepting prisoners of the puppet army. In addition, as long as the medical personnel of the Japanese army are caught, they must not be killed this time, and all of them will be escorted back to me. Han Yunhua said loudly.
