Because the goal of Han Yunhua's convoy is too large, it is not conducive to hiding at all. Just after dawn, under the guidance of two reconnaissance planes, more than 20 bombers flew over Qian'an in a high-profile manner. The entire city of Qian'an was bombed indiscriminately, and the piercing whistling sound of the bombers covered up all the sounds of the entire city, and in addition to the white phosphorus incendiary bombs and ordinary aircraft bombs dropped by the Japanese planes, there were also precious heavy aerial bombs and poison gas bombs.

Suddenly, the entire city of Qian'an was shrouded in the sound of death explosions, and the flames rose into the sky, and tall buildings were constantly razed to the ground. The temporary headquarters of the 8th Brigade in Qian'an City was even more closely taken care of by the Japanese army, and from the very beginning, planes continued to pour bombs on the ancestral hall.

Although Han Yunhua deliberately set up three air defense positions in the city urgently in order to reduce the casualties of ordinary residents in the city, and reluctantly transferred one-third of the anti-aircraft machine guns in the military area. At the beginning of the battle, the Japanese bombers were shot down four times due to the light enemy, and the alert Japanese pilots stopped flying at low altitudes. On the contrary, they bombed the aviation positions of Han Yunhua's subordinates fiercely, and it has to be said that the quality of the Japanese air force in 39 years was still very good. In particular, after the baptism of the Wuhan air battle, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese air regiment has been qualitatively improved.

Han Yunhua believed that he was not afraid of the Japanese Army on land, after all, Han Yunhua's flexible tactics and advanced knowledge familiar with the historical context were enough to restrain the rigid tactics of the Japanese Army. However, as far as the two arms of the navy and air force are concerned, Han Yunhua believes that he does not have the strength to deal with Japan, and in these two fields, Han Yunhua's professional knowledge is inferior to others on the one hand, and on the other hand, he is limited to the fact that it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.

Seeing that the hit rate of the bombs dropped by the Japanese air force was surprisingly high, and the deviation from left to right was only three or five meters, Han Yunhua's face was unusually ugly. This fully shows that there are still Japanese troops in Qian'an City whose eyeliner has not been cleared, otherwise the Japanese air force would not have focused on bombing important targets of the Eighth Brigade. You must know that the Japanese army focused on bombing several places, one is the temporary headquarters of the original Eighth Independent Brigade, the other is the convoy parking lot of Han Yunhua's department, and the other, more important is the assembly place of the armored troops of the mechanized brigade. Due to Han Yunhua's foresight, although the Japanese army pounced, this gave Han Yunhua a wake-up call. It is necessary to strictly deal with the problems of law and order in the occupied areas and the infiltration of spies, otherwise it is very likely that something bad will happen at a critical time.

The Japanese bombers wreaked havoc over Qian'an City for more than an hour, and after paying the price of four destruction and five injuries, they calmly left, leaving Han Yunhua's headquarters with a devastated Qian'an City.

After the Japanese air force left, Han Yunhua immediately ordered half of the soldiers of the Eighth Brigade to extinguish the fire in the city and rescue ordinary people. The other half of the soldiers quickly repaired the fortifications of the city and prepared for a big battle. At the same time, the special combat team was ordered to control all Japanese-funded and joint ventures inside and outside Qian'an City, as well as all Japanese nationals. Once a radio station or other military contraband is found, it can be killed without asking for instructions.

At this time, Li Dayong walked in with a list and said angrily: "Commander, the losses have been preliminarily counted, we lost 696 soldiers in the bombing just now, of which 421 were directly killed, 208 were seriously injured, and the rest were slightly injured. The casualties of the troops were on the one hand, and the vast majority of the dead and wounded were those on the air defense positions. But the most annoying thing is that these little devils of dog days actually poisoned ordinary people, he **, in just one hour, more than 6,000 people in the city were killed and injured, of which more than 2,000 people were no longer saved. The buildings in the city were almost intact, all the famous large buildings were blown up, and the fortifications of the city were almost razed to the ground, and they had lost their defensive role......"

Han Yunhua listened carefully to Li Dayong's report, plated it in the temporary command tent, and then said: "Dayong, we all know very well what kind of virtue the little devil is, and this kind of unevolved beast is not worth it, this time it is not only us Chinese who have been hit hard, I remember that there are many Japanese expatriates in Qian'an City, and there seems to be no clear gathering area for Japanese expatriates in Qian'an City, I don't believe that the Japanese bomb will not be able to grow eyes, and I think those Chinese little devils who come with the dream of making a fortune will also lose a lot, right?" ”,

"That's right, after all, Qian'an City is only a small place, unlike big cities such as Shanghai that have a clear Japanese concession. The vast majority of Japanese expatriates here live in Japanese foreign companies, and there is no specific quarantine zone with the Chinese. Therefore, the losses of the Japanese in this bombing were not small, and preliminary statistics show that more than 100 Japanese nationals were killed and wounded. It is indeed unbelievable that little Japan does not even spare its own compatriots. Brutes are brutes, and it's really my own stupidity to be angry with brutes. However, the blood debt must be repaid in blood, and we must not allow the little devils to slaughter our people so rampantly under our noses, and I will listen to your arrangement to do so. Although Li Dayong said that he was not angry, his indignant expression made all the officers in the command feel that Li Dayong had a feeling of wanting to cover up.

"That is, as long as they come to China with weapons, then we have no reason to let them go back, this is the principle of being a soldier, and it is the greatest mission of my generation. Nearly 7,000 Chinese compatriots were killed and wounded in the bombing of Qian'an, but the blood of these 7,000 people will not be shed in vain, and one day, Japan's big cities will also be bombed by us. You have remembered for me that we must not be soft on the aggressors. Although we now occupy a certain advantage in eastern Hebei, it is only temporary. You must know that now the Japanese North China Front has successively transferred tens of thousands of troops from the southern Hebei battlefield and the northern Hebei battlefield, although I don't know where these tens of thousands of troops have gone for the time being, but I think it should be north to eastern Hebei. Therefore, the next battle will definitely not be as easy as some time ago, so you Duba Brigade must recharge your energy and prepare for a tough battle. At the same time, my bottom line is that the troops can retreat, but they are never allowed to cross the Great Wall, which is the last line of defense of your Eighth Brigade and Artillery Brigade. Han Yunhua's voice was very cold, which made everyone present feel like they were falling into an ice cave. In particular, the murderous aura that was like a substance made everyone present feel Han Yunhua's determination and hatred for the Japanese army, and let Li Dayong and others see the cold side of this young commander.

Then Han Yunhua condensed and said: "This time the little devil is not good, several battlefields such as southern Hebei, central Hebei, and northern Shanxi have ceased fighting one after another, and the tens of thousands of horses besieging our Eighth Route Army have suddenly disappeared, we have reason to believe that the next target of the Japanese army is our troops in eastern Hebei." Although there is now an infantry division, an infantry brigade, an artillery brigade, a mechanized brigade, and six other infantry regiments in eastern Hebei, with a total strength of nearly 60,000 horses, excluding the casualties during this period, there should be no less than 50,000 people with combat capability. However, the territory we now control is much larger, the troops are scattered, and the remnants of the Second Division in Chengde City are also a time bomb that may explode at any time, but our army cannot concentrate on dealing with other units of the Japanese army, so it is not easy for our army to maintain the results of the previous period. And I don't think that with these 60,000 people, I can take the fat of Jidong, after all, the importance of Jidong does not need to be said that you should also know, and the Japanese army will never let Jidong fall into our hands so smoothly. Don't forget that Jidong was the only land communication between the Kwantung Army and the Japanese army in Guannai, and it was extremely important for the Japanese army to keep this passage open. If the North China Front does not have the strength to prevent our troops from recovering eastern Hebei, I think the Japanese base camp is likely to send the most elite Kwantung Army south. I think everyone should be familiar with the Kwantung Army, although the Kwantung Army is now only less than 100,000 people, but as long as the Japanese army base camp is willing, in a very short period of time the Kwantung Army will be expanded into a behemoth. The Kwantung Army's southward movement was no less than a devastating disaster for us now. Therefore, we can't push the little devils into a hurry, and slowly encroaching on the enemy-occupied areas is the king's way, and resisting Japan is not achieved overnight, and fighting devils is not something that can be completed in a day. Han Yunhua continued to analyze, he knew that there were still some opinions in the army about stopping the attack, after all, according to the intelligence department's intelligence, more than ten counties in eastern Hebei were almost empty cities, and the Japanese puppet army had few forces, which could almost be said to be a blank area of power. Taking this opportunity to completely occupy Jidong, the voices of the officers present not only represent the voices of a large number of soldiers.

"Commander, what to do, you can say it, we won't have any opinions, we haven't followed you to fight devils for a day or two, we can't believe you as a person, you can give the order" Li Dayong, the commander of the Eighth Brigade, said loudly.

"Okay, now the most important task of your brigade is to block all the troops from the east of the Great Wall from the devils, and to take advantage of the favorable terrain in Qian'an, Qianxi and other areas to block the Japanese army step by step, and cover the transportation team of the military region to send this batch of important materials back to the base area. I'll let the artillery brigade fight with you, don't let me down. Han Yunhua said coldly.

At this moment, Li Dingguo, the squadron leader of the Feilong Special Operations Squadron, came in and reported: "Commander, just now the left-behind members of the Dapu River Estuary sent a telegram that a large number of Japanese troops have begun to land at the mouth of the Dapu River, and the number is quite large, and the soldiers have found nearly 20,000 people, and there are also tanks and armored vehicles for amphibious operations. ”
