To be honest, Han Yunhua was very skeptical of the words of the three people in front of him, ** The strictness of the political trial is famous, not to mention these guys from the puppet army, even Miao Zhenggenhong's old revolution has to be censored from time to time, such as Liu Mingyuan, the former Minister of Education of the Inner Mongolia Military Region, who has participated in the Long March with the army. Let's not talk about whether this matter is correct or not, but from the side, we can understand that the Eighth Route Army is not collected by everyone, so Han Yunhua thinks in his heart that these guys are lying, and the purpose is of course to survive, or even to get promoted and make a fortune.

Sure enough, it seemed that as Han Yunhua expected, this Song Brigade Commander finally said such a sentence after a long time: "Mr. Han, what is the application for joining the party, and what is the introducer for joining the party?" ”

"What, since you don't even know what the application for joining the party is and what the introducer of joining the party is, you dare to say that you are a **member, what do you think is a **member, say, what kind of person are you, and what is the intention of pretending to be a **member?" Han Yunhua said sharply.

"Mr. Han, what we said is really the truth, we didn't pretend to be a ** member, and there is no benefit in pretending to be a ** member now." Song Chunyi thought for a while and said: "Although we don't know who our application for joining the party and the introducer of joining the party are, we remember that the time of joining the party was August 23, 1938. ”

Han Yunhua asked again: "Then since this is the case, you can tell me about your experience of joining the party." Have you seen any other ** besides yourself? After that, Han Yunhua added: "People outside the party can also do it?" ”

But then Han Yunhua thought that several of them didn't even know the application for joining the party and the introduction of the party, let alone people outside the party or people without party affiliation, and his supplement was simply redundant.

Song Chunyi thought for a while and said: "I remember, I really don't know the specific name of the person who introduced the party to the party, Mr. Han, I only know that people call him Lao Wu, and I don't know what his big name is, but he gave me a letter, saying that if he meets the organization one day, he will forward the letter to the organization." At that time, this organization will not only admit that I and my brother are ** members, but also prove our identities to us, saying that we are not traitors and lackeys. ”

"What letter, did you take it?" , seeing Song Chunyi and Zhang Dashan and others doesn't seem to be lying. Han Yunhua asked again.

"Take it, I don't know if I can get out of the devil's camp alive in this uprising. That's why I took this letter with me. After speaking, Song Chunyi unbuttoned his pants, and untied his underwear in front of Han Yunhua, the underwear was very torn and torn, with more than a dozen big holes and small holes, and the patches were stacked one by one.

I saw that Song Chunyi's biggest patch was removed. He took out a paper bag wrapped in kraft paper and smelling of sweat.

Seeing this paper bag, Han Yunhua's heart couldn't help but tremble, this paper bag was wrapped in inferior kraft paper, and he knew that the time was not short just by looking at it from the outside. At this time, Han Yunhua couldn't help but look at the people in front of him again, and for the first time doubted his judgment.

When I opened the paper bag, I saw two pieces of very good quality white paper in the kraft paper. Opening the paper, Han Yunhua carefully read the information written. This is a letter written by an arrested veteran to the party organization, the first one is written to the party Central Committee, but it seems to be written in a password, which is very messy. Han Yunhua couldn't understand what was written inside. The second letter was addressed to the party organization, and the letter did not specify the recipient, and the information in it was very simple and clear. It means that Song Chunyi and others were anti-Japanese heroes who were captured by the Japanese army after the battle and then imprisoned in a concentration camp. Later, I met him there, and voluntarily joined China ** through his own introduction, and Song Chunyi's participation in the puppet army and serving as the leader of the traitors was also at his behest, and he asked the party organization to review and recognize the party membership of Song Chunyi and others. …,

Seeing this, although Han Yunhua still had some doubts. However, at least the identities of Song Chunyi and others can be determined for the time being. However, because this matter was obviously beyond his authority, Han Yunhua decided to report to the Central Committee and the Party Central Committee would finally decide how to deal with Song Chunyi and others.

Han Yunhua quickly asked the telegraph operator to send the letter to Yan'an on a secret radio station. He inquired in detail about Song Chunyi and others joining the party.

The 24th Brigade of the Imperial Association Army was independently mixed into the 24th Brigade, which was the temporary number given to them by the Japanese army after Song Chunyi and others surrendered, in fact, Song Chunyi originally belonged to the Jining Garrison Brigade of the National Revolutionary Army. When the Japanese army swept through Shandong in 38, Wang Yongqing, commander of the Jining Garrison Brigade in Shandong, led his troops and horses to engage in a fierce battle with the Japanese army despite Han Fuqu's order to retreat. However, in the end, due to the outnumbering of the enemy, it failed, and the entire garrison brigade was martyred heroically except for part of Song Chunyi's 2nd Regiment, which was captured.

Song Chunyi and other officers and soldiers of the garrison brigade were taken prisoner and escorted to the Weifang concentration camp, where he met the ** member Lao Wu, under the inspiration of Lao Wu, Song Chunyi and several of his henchmen finally joined **. However, because Lao Wu's identity was relatively secret at that time, only they knew about these party members, and they did not file cases in the Party Central Committee and other organizations.

Later, the Japanese army went to the concentration camp to recruit people to form a puppet army unit, originally Song Chunyi did not plan to go, but Lao Wu thought that this was a rare opportunity, he strongly asked Song Chunyi to join the puppet army, and it was best to be the leader, so that he could have the opportunity to go out, so Song Chunyi appeared in the puppet army's troops.

Because Song Chunyi himself was a ** regiment commander, he was soon reused by the Japanese army and was appointed as the brigade commander of the 24th Brigade of the Imperial Allied Army, and the troops were stationed in Heze and Jining. However, neither Lao Wu nor Song Chunyi thought that since the Japanese army had a large number of puppet troops surrendered without a fight in the course of fighting with the Inner Mongolia Military Region, and even rebelled on the battlefield, causing huge losses to the Japanese army, so the Japanese army deliberately kept an eye on it when forming the Imperial Allied Army, that is, every puppet army must kill a Chinese, or do something that satisfies the imperial army.

This is not difficult to understand, this is the same as the Chinese bandits pulling people into the gang, if the people want to gain the trust of the family members, they must first show loyalty, and the bandits show loyalty is very simple, just vote for the name. **Prisoners who want to join the puppet army also have to surrender their names to the Japanese army, and there is of course only one ending if they are unwilling to pay, and that is death.

In desperation, Song Chunyi and his brothers had to execute a group of ** soldiers who were unwilling to serve the Japanese army without conscience, and only after their hands were stained with the blood of the Chinese would the Japanese believe them. Because only in this way will these Chinese be forced to a dead end, and will serve the Japanese army with all their hearts and serve as their vanguard.

Before the uprising, Song Chunyi and others were also very hesitant, because they themselves knew their own situation, not only did they not meet the standards of a ** member. It doesn't even meet the standards of a Chinese, so even if they abandon the dark and turn to the light, they may not have a good ending. But whenever I think of the deeds of those ** members that Lao Wu talked about with them. Whether it was Li Dazhao, who died generously, or other heroic sacrifices, Song Chunyi and others were deeply admired, plus in the past two years, because they were within the Japanese army, they had witnessed the brutality and inhumanity of the Japanese army, so after thinking about it again, Song Chunyi and others still decided to revolt, even if they died in the end, they must be worthy of the title of **.

After listening to Song Chunyi's narration, Han Yunhua fell silent. Once again, he was touched by the greatness and selflessness of the ** member. Although there are many unreasonable phenomena in the era in which he lives, none of the ** members of this era are so simple and so great and selfless. …,

Soon the Party Central Committee made a final confirmation of Lao Wu's identity, and Vice Chairman Zhou personally confirmed that the Lao Wu who wrote the letter was indeed a ** member, and he was also a senior spy subordinate to the Central Special Branch. It is one of the most precious national treasure-level spies of our party and our army, who has been lurking beside Han Fuqu, chairman of Shandong Province of the National Government, and disappeared in 38 years. The central government originally thought that he had been executed by Lao Jiang as Han Fuqu's henchman, but he didn't expect that he was arrested by the little devil as an expatriate. He was also imprisoned in the Weifang concentration camp in Shandong.

The Party Central Committee officially recognized Song Chunyi and others as ** party members, and expressed appreciation for their ability to lead their troops and horses to carry out a battlefield uprising this time, and at the same time ordered Han Yunhua to rescue the imprisoned Lao Wu and other ** members and overseas Chinese from the United States and Britain at all costs.

In fact, this battle has been carried out to this extent, and there is not much point in continuing to fight. On November 20, Han Yunhua's troops occupied Heze, and then occupied Jining, an important town in southern Lunan, and at the same time also achieved major results in the northwest of Shandong, with Dezhou, Linqing, Leling and other counties and cities liberated one after another. The North China Front collapsed almost entirely. Of course, this is only in the eyes of ordinary people, but in fact, both Han Yunhua and high-ranking officers of the Nationalist Government know it. The Japanese losses in this battle were minimal, although the Japanese lost a large amount of territory. Almost all of Luxi fell, but the essence of the Japanese army was not lost, the elite of the North China Front still existed, and Okamura Ninji had the possibility and capital to make a comeback at any time.

However, this time the Nationalist Government took advantage of the fire to loot and also achieved a lot of results, although due to insufficient preparations, but still robbed more than a dozen county towns in Luxi, and at the same time also achieved major results in Lunan, Yu Xuezhong and the entire Sulu theater of territory expanded by one-fifth, the force directly penetrated into the hinterland of Lunan, and the space for activities was greatly increased.

In any case, the squadron did win this time, the territory of dozens of counties and districts in Luxi is not fake, and the Inner Mongolia Military Region completely annihilated the 62nd Division of the Japanese Army and more than 20,000 puppet reinforcements It is not a fraud, and now there is a complete Japanese brigade surrounded in Liaocheng City, although there are less than 1,000 people left in this infantry brigade now, but the entire brigade is still complete.

Just when Han Yunhua was thinking about where this battle would go, Qian Zhuangfei hurriedly walked in and said a little anxiously: "Commander, I just received news that about 100,000 Japanese troops suddenly appeared in Jinan, plus the Japanese puppet army that has been withdrawn from northwest Shandong one after another and the original defenders of Jinan, now the Japanese puppet army in Jinan has exceeded 200,000, and it is still increasing, and our army is now scattered, if the old devil in Gangcun seizes the opportunity to fight, the loss will not be small." ”

"Well, this is a problem, pass on my order, the whole army will shrink its strength, order Yang Chengwu's troops to ensure the existing results, and at the same time be cautious about the Japanese army in Jinan, as for the remnants of the surrounded Japanese brigade can be solved, it will be solved, and now it will have no effect on the bait that has eaten the rest, and staying may attract big sharks. In addition, send a telegram to Master Xu and them, asking them to have good contact with the national government, if they can exchange Jining and Heze for some benefits, then exchange some benefits, anyway, those two places will be withdrawn sooner or later, and it is better to withdraw early than later. Han Yunhua decisively ordered.

"Okay!"

Under Han Yunhua's orders, Yang Chengwu's troops began to decisively shrink their forces in the next few days. All counties and districts that are not conducive to defense or close to the key offensive areas of the Japanese army are all abandoned, of course, the people can move as much as possible, and those who can't move are scattered as much as possible, so as to prevent the Japanese army from retaliating against the civilian population.

On November 21, Liaocheng City was broken. The 5th Brigade of the Japanese Army's independent mixed brigade was completely annihilated, but due to Major General Uchida Ginnosuke's early opportunity. After Yang Chengwu's troops invaded the city, he actually held more than 2,000 people hostage to confront the Eighth Route Army, and Major General Uchida Ginnosuke's requirements were not high, he only asked Han Yunhua to come forward in person to ensure the safety of him and his troops, and he did not make other requests. As long as Han Yunhua agrees. He would immediately order his troops to lay down their arms and surrender to the Eighth Route Army. …,

After receiving Yang Chengwu's telegram requesting instructions, Han Yunhua became angry, this guy is quite good at acting by his eyes. Knowing that only Han Yunhua can be the master of the entire Inner Mongolia Military Region, he didn't look for others, but just talked to Han Yunhua about things.

After thinking about it, Han Yunhua finally decided to compromise with this Major General Uchida Ginnosuke, it was not that Han Yunhua was weak or something else, but that Han Yunhua knew the brutality of the Japanese army. If the negotiations between the two sides finally break down, then it is really hard to say what will be the final outcome of the more than 2,000 ordinary people.

Although he announced to the world not long after the start of the war that his troops would no longer accept the surrender of the Japanese army, the situation was now stronger than men, and he was forced to do his part. Even if his reputation is damaged a little, it is nothing, compared to the lives of more than 2,000 ordinary people, everything else is floating clouds.

Han Yunhua's instructions were still very effective, and after Han Yunhua personally had a phone call with Uchida Ginnosuke, under the order of this "magical" Japanese major general, the entire independent mixed Fifth Brigade surrendered to Han Yunhua's headquarters and handed over all weapons and equipment and brigade flags.

Han Yunhua did not disclose the news of the surrender of the Fifth Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade, on the one hand, because this incident was not a glorious thing for Han Yunhua's department. And Uchida Ginnosuke also begged Han Yunhua not to reveal the news of their surrender, because it would bring disaster to the families of all the Japanese soldiers. So in the end, Han Yunhua let Yang Chengwu completely annihilate the Japanese army to the outside world, and independently mixed into the Fifth Brigade, and all 2,209 people under Major General Uchida Ginnosuke, the brigade commander, were killed. Captured the flag of the 5th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade.

After reading the news released by the Inner Mongolia Military Region, Okamura Ningji was furious, before it was due to the lack of troops, so he endured it again and again, and now the strength of the five garrison divisions has all been put in place, and the troops transferred to the battlefield in Southeast Asia are also returning on ships at the request of Okamura Ningji, and now the North China Front has solved the problem of troops, so Okamura Ningji does not plan to endure it anymore.

On November 25, more than 80,000 people of the entire First Army and the 3rd Division of the newly formed chariot led by Yoshio Shinozuka, chief of staff of the Front Army, sent troops to southwest Lunan, while more than 50,000 people from the 12th Army and the two newly transferred infantry divisions sent troops to Lunan and went straight to Yu Xuezhong's headquarters. Okamura Ningji also knew that Northwest Lu was occupied by Han Yunhua's department, and in the nearly a year of fighting with Han Yunhua's department, Okamura Ningji deeply knew the difficulty of Han Yunhua and the ** squadron under his leadership, so Okamura Ningji decided to start with those soft persimmons first.

In Okamura Ningji's view, whether it is the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army or the First Theater of the Nationalist Government, it is far less terrifying than Han Yunhua's subordinates, and compared with Han Yunhua's subordinates, who often take divisions and regiments as combat targets and total annihilation as the combat goal, the First Theater of the Nationalist Government and the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army are obviously much gentler than Han Yunhua's subordinates.

If Wei Lihuang and Xu Xiangqian knew that they were gentle in the eyes of Okamura Ningji, I am afraid that these two people would collapse immediately. However, the arrival of the Japanese army did bring a lot of pressure to the 115th Division and the First Theater of Operations, and there were still some dirty things on both sides, but under the strong pressure of the Japanese army, the two sides had to temporarily shake hands and make peace, and jointly discuss the strategy against the enemy. But whether it is Wei Lihuang or Xu Xiangqian, there is a simple consensus, that is, no matter what you do, Lu Southwest must not let the little devils take it anymore.

However, the wish is beautiful, but the reality is cruel, this time Okamura Ningji did not spare his hand, and more than 300 planes of a flying brigade directly under the direct jurisdiction of the entire North China Front Army were all lifted into the air, except for those transport planes that were temporarily useless, the rest were sent to the battlefield by Gangmura. In addition, Okamura Ningji actually transferred more than 50 large and small warships to the north along the river, and Jining, a waterway transportation hub, fell after less than a day, and the 115th Division not only took an infantry regiment, but also suffered a lot of losses in morale and prestige
