Han Yunhua is still relatively relieved about the war on the Shandong front, although the strength of the Japanese puppet army in Shandong is relatively strong, but his own troops are not weak, and the double volume is far more than that of the Japanese army, and he does not necessarily suffer losses when he fights. But the Saibei side is different, the Japanese puppet army has a heavy army group stationed in Suidong, and they are all cavalry groups, although Shen Yuquan's troops are also a lot of horses, plus Master Chen's independent 77th Division in eastern Hebei to contain the infantry group of the Japanese Kwantung Army, but it is still unable to fully compete with the Kwantung Army.

After receiving Shen Yuquan's telegram, Han Yunhua pondered for a while, it was extremely risky to start a war with the Kwantung Army, which he saw more clearly than those big leaders in Yan'an, but he was more aware of the huge benefits of sending troops to Suidong. Suidong itself is not very attractive, and it is nothing more than a chicken rib for the entire Inner Mongolia Military Region.

However, Suidong is a springboard for advancing into the Northeast, and the Northeast region is what Han Yunhua values most, and now the other three main divisions of the Eighth Route Army have made great progress, according to Han Yunhua's understanding, the 129th Division alone has more than 130 infantry regiments, with a total strength of more than 300,000, and the 120th Division and the 115th Division are not bad, and in terms of the strength of the Eighth Route Army, it can already compete with the Japanese army in North China, of course, the scope is limited to North China. Nationally, the strength of the Japanese army was not yet comparable to that of a single party of the Communist Party.

Therefore, the role that Han Yunhua's subordinates can play in North China is already very limited, and because the Inner Mongolia Military Region is in the limelight, it is not only regarded as a big trouble by the Japanese, but also arouses the suspicion of the Nationalist Government, after all, hundreds of thousands of elite Chen soldiers in North China can be attacked, retreated, and defended, and if Han Yunhua's subordinates are allowed to hold the Jingcheng Pass, Shanhaiguan and other important places, they can completely dominate the entire North China, which is intolerable to the Nationalist Government. Therefore, the future development of the Inner Mongolia Military Region in North China is very limited, and what the Inner Mongolia Military Region will do is what Han Yunhua has to consider.

In fact, it is possible for the Inner Mongolia Military Region to continue to attack southward, but I am afraid that the anti-Japanese national united front may not be able to hold on at that time, so Han Yunhua now takes a fancy to the northeast. Although the strength of the Kwantung Army was there, Han Yunhua did not intend to have a full-scale confrontation with the Kwantung Army, he only planned to fight a few battles with the Japanese army on the border between Suiyuan and the Northeast, so that the people of the entire Northeast would know that the country and the government had not abandoned them, and that there were many people who were fighting with them and arousing their anti-Japanese enthusiasm.

Moreover, Han Yunhua judged that if the war continued like this, it was already foreseeable that the war would end early. It is still more beneficial for the Communist Party to take the northeast ahead of schedule or to occupy a favorable terrain to form a powerful enemy posture against the Japanese puppet army in the northeast. Moreover, Han Yunhua, a large number of heavy industries in the northeast, has already coveted it, and with the northeast as a rich land, the development of the Communist Party and the whole of China will be advanced by more than ten years.

The order urging the recruit divisions of the military region to speed up the march had already been issued, and Luo Ronghuan directly approved all the recruit divisions to rush to Jining by train, and then the whole army would rush to Jidong and Suidong after gathering in Jining.

Let's not talk about the war in Saibei, although Saibei is full of smoke and clouds, the most attractive thing is the duel between China and Japan on the Shandong front. In view of the strength of the Chinese army, Okamura Ninji transferred all four divisions of his Eleventh Army to Lubei, plus the 21st Division, which had been responsible for the defense of Lubei, the Japanese army stationed a full five infantry divisions in the narrow area of Lubei, in addition to the Japanese army also transferred one of the only two puppet army divisions in Shandong to Lubei to assist the Japanese army in fighting.

On 25 February, the Third Route Army of the Inner Mongolia Military Region simultaneously launched a full-scale attack on the Japanese troops in Linxi, Qinghe, Gucheng and other counties, and at the same time sent a large number of special combat teams into the Shandong region to carry out strategic sabotage and decapitation operations. Under the orders of Okamura Ninji, relying on the favorable terrain to resist stubbornly, the two sides launched a desperate struggle on the border between Hebei and Shandong. …,

Lu Quan Tun Nanshan. The position of the 1st Field Division, 1st Brigade and 2nd Regiment.

Zhang Ye, the political commissar of the Second Regiment, was a man in his thirties, rough and hideous, and people like him looked like bandits more than the Eighth Route Army, and military cadres more like political cadres. However, such a cadre has grown a delicate heart, and in the nearly a month that has been surrounded by the Japanese army, if it were not for the support of this careful political commissar, the entire Second Regiment would have already broken up.

Now Zhang Yeqiang endured the hunger in his stomach, raised his somewhat trembling arms and stared at the map that he had read more than a dozen times, thinking seriously.

"Political commissar, call from the division headquarters"

"Reading"

"Zhang Ye, today Han Yunhua, the commander-in-chief of the former enemy headquarters of our military region, has issued an order to besiege Dezhou and rescue your department, and hundreds of thousands of troops in the whole military region will engage in a fierce battle with hundreds of thousands of elites of the Japanese army in the northern Lubei area. Division, Wang, Jiang. After reading the telegram, the combat staff officer withdrew.

After listening to the telegram, Zhang Ye burst into tears, and he couldn't help himself with excitement. Zhang Ye had always been worried that the division headquarters would just leave them here, because although the 2nd Regiment was also the main division of the 1st Field Division, it was nothing compared to the 1st Regiment of each brigade. The combat effectiveness of the 2nd Regiment among all the regiments of the 1st Field Division can only be regarded as average, and the number of people is less than 3,000. Moreover, this time the Second Regiment was surrounded by several field divisions of the Japanese army, and after all, the Second Regiment had a tragic conflict with these Japanese divisions, and the Second Regiment had already suffered more than half of the casualties when it was surrounded, so the price to pay for rescuing the Second Regiment was not much smaller than rebuilding a Second Regiment, so the soldiers of the Second Regiment were worried that the military region would abandon them.

Zhang Ye dragged his tired body to the jar placed in front of the underground command post, and said in tears: "Lao Liu, did you hear it? The division commander did not abandon our second regiment, and now even the commander is here, in order to rescue our second regiment military region dispatched hundreds of thousands of troops, you can now look at it, you and the soldiers' hatred will be remembered by us who are alive, it will not be long before our second regiment will be a fully staffed main regiment, you go all the way."

After tidying up the tattered military uniforms on his body and cleaning up his excited mood, Zhang Ye shouted to the guards outside the command post: "Inform all military and political cadres above the company level to hold a meeting at the command post." ”

"Yes"

Soon a dozen equally tired men walked in, the tattered military uniforms were no longer recognizable, but the murderous aura of each one was enough to make everyone shake.

"Political commissar, why is there a meeting again, his grandmother's somehow, today's little devils are extremely violent, the number of little devils on the periphery of our position has increased a lot, and now it is about to reach a full infantry wing, it seems that the patience of the little devils is about to run out." Xu Zhiguo, the commander of the first battalion, said as soon as he entered the door.

Zhang Ye said with a smile: "Comrades, don't be impatient, wait for Comrade Niu Niu to come, we will start, and reveal it to you in advance, this is good news today."

"What's the good news, political commissar, you tell us in advance, we also have a psychological preparation," Jiang Yuhua, the commander of the second company of the first battalion, quipped.

"It's better to wait for Comrade Niu Tendon, and when he comes, I'll say together, his position is a little far from the command post, hehehe" Zhang Ye said with a smile.

Zhang Ye was very satisfied with these military and political cadres of the Second Regiment, although most of them had not been in the army for a long time, but the vast majority of them had graduated from the Saibei Military Command College, so they had excellent military command level and political literacy. Although many military and political cadres have died in the past month or so, including Liu Yadong, the commander of the Second Regiment. But these cadres are still full of vitality, and who can tell that most of these cadres are people who have been hungry for two days. …,

Just when Zhang Ye was thinking wildly, an extremely burly cadre broke in directly, and said angrily as soon as he entered the door: "Political commissar, didn't you just have a meeting in the morning, why do you have to have a meeting again, I don't know that my old cow's position is a kilometer away from the command, I haven't eaten for two days, and I am about to toss the old cow to death when I run back and forth." ”

Zhang Ye didn't speak, Xu Zhiguo on the side roared loudly: "Okay, you are a big cow, they all say that your kid lacks roots and tendons, it seems that your kid is a thief, Lao Tzu has been hungry for three days, just your kid has been hungry for two days, and now Lao Tzu finally understands what the commander said about the sentence that people can't look good, you kid only two days without eating dare to shout, hum"

"Crazy Xu, don't show your teeth with Lao Tzu for his grandmother, Lao Tzu didn't save food, Lao Tzu was lucky yesterday, and a snake rushed into the position, so Lao Tzu also drank a mouthful of snake soup, and when this battle is over, if Lao Tzu doesn't die, then find you a bastard to settle accounts, if you buy a pig's trotters for Lao Tzu to make amends, don't blame Lao Tzu for not recognizing you as a brother."

Xu Zhiguo said a little depressedly: "It's all fucking that stupid people have stupid luck, and it's only a fool like Niu Da who is stunned to have this luck, and a smart person like me will never have such luck." ”

"Crazy Xu, who the fuck are you talking about?"

"Shut up for me, you two were enemies in your previous life, why do you quarrel endlessly as soon as you meet, and you don't see when it is. Okay, now that we're all here, let's start the meeting now."

As soon as they heard Zhang Ye say that the meeting was held, all the cadres straightened their waists reflexively, and their mental outlook suddenly became extremely energetic.

Zhang Ye cleared his throat and said: "Comrades, I just received a telegram from the division headquarters, and the division commander told us that hundreds of thousands of our troops are now stationed outside Luquantun, and even Commander Han Yunhua has also arrived at the front line, and today he has launched an attack on the encirclement of the Japanese army, so the division commander ordered us to hold on." ”

"Really, ahahaha, Lao Tzu said that the commander would not give up on us, hehehe, hundreds of thousands of troops came to save me Lao Xu, hahaha, even if it is dead, it is worth it."

"Aha, great, the brothers didn't wait in vain, the commander is the commander, hahaha"

"It's really fucking enjoyable, I'm afraid it's hard for the little devil to come this time the commander, hehehe"

"Everyone be quiet, don't be too happy too early, although it is said that reinforcements are coming, but the current situation of our second regiment is still very unoptimistic. Let's discuss the breakout first, without a specific plan, we can't break through in the heavy group of Japanese troops. Zhang Ye interrupted everyone's cheers.

Although Xu Zhiguo is a little broken-mouthed, and he also likes to play tricks on people, his operational command level is indeed much stronger than that of ordinary cadres, otherwise he would have been promoted to battalion commander more than a year after graduating from the military academy, which should be the rank of a major in the battle sequence of the national government. I saw that he restrained the smile on his face and said: "Well, the political commissar is very reasonable, it is a good thing to have reinforcements now, but when the reinforcements come, it is unexpected that our army has no use value for the Japanese army, so I judge that they will launch a final attack on our regiment in the next two days." But now the situation of our second regiment is not optimistic, first of all, our morale is very low, the sacrifice of the regiment commander is a fatal blow to the morale of our second regiment, if it is not for this period of support, I am afraid that the soldiers would have already been discouraged. The second is the shortage of ammunition and food, take our first battalion as an example, the whole battalion is now less than 300 heads, all the ammunition adds up to less than 1,000 rounds, and there is still a small amount of food, that is to prepare for the soldiers to eat before the final attack on the Japanese army, and you can't be a starving ghost if you die, I think other troops are probably better like this, so it is not an exaggeration to say that our second regiment is now running out of ammunition and food, I am afraid that it is difficult to resist the siege of the Japanese army in our situation. ”…,

Zhang Ye said: "The division headquarters called, saying that a group of our planes would come to us this evening to airdrop a batch of supplies, but we were not prepared to accept it, don't fall into the hands of the little devils at that time, with these supplies, I will have the bottom in my heart, I believe that it is impossible for the little devils to completely annihilate our second regiment in a short time." ”

"Hahaha, the commander is the commander, and we formed our own air force so quickly, amazing. Commissar, I think we need to launch a surprise attack on the positions of the little devils at once, take them by surprise, and then we can accept this batch of supplies. Jian Limin, deputy commander of the second battalion of the second regiment, said.

"It's still a female comrade's heart, we are all happy for a long time and we haven't put forward any good suggestions, although the second battalion commander is a female comrade, but he is the first comrade among us to propose a plan to receive supplies, hehehe" Zhang Ye said with a smile.

Xu Zhiguo, the commander of the first battalion, also smiled and said: "Well, I agree with the second battalion commander's opinion, hehe, I think when the commander gave us a lecture, he said that we will soon have our own air force, and at that time he also said that we will form an air force with at least one aviation group in five years at most, but I didn't expect that it has been realized now, and I really want to see our planes flying in the sky." ”

Zhang Ye looked at his watch and said: "Comrades, it is now 5:10, and there is still about an hour before the evening, you go back now and tell the soldiers the news, and at the same time launch a surprise attack on the forward positions of the Japanese army in half an hour to meet our plane." ”

"Yes," more than a dozen cadres immediately said in unison.

At 5:50, the 2nd Regiment suddenly launched a surprise attack on the Japanese encirclement position, and the Japanese defenders did not expect that the Chinese army would dare to attack at this time, so they were caught off guard by the 2nd Regiment, and soon the first line of defense was occupied by the 2nd Regiment.

After occupying the first line of defense of the Japanese army, the 2nd Regiment did not continue to attack, but held on to the Japanese position. Just as the Japanese were waiting for the Chinese army to launch their final struggle, the unique hum of planes was heard in the sky.

The soldiers on the Japanese position immediately cheered when they heard the sound of airplanes in the sky, and some even stretched out the Japanese flags on their bayonets to signal to the planes. The soldiers of the 2nd Regiment, who had already received the news, were also very excited, and the cheers spread for miles away. So at this time, there was an extremely strange scene on the battlefield, and the two sides fighting under more than a dozen planes looked at the planes and cheered.

Shangguan Qing is in a very good mood now, he can see the situation on the battlefield below very clearly, the Chinese and Japanese armies regard this air force as their own country, looking at the military flags waved by both sides, Shangguan Qing maliciously thought about how ugly the expressions of those little devils will be when the Japanese Zero plane drops bombs on the Japanese position.

Under the command of Shangguan Qing, eighteen Zero fighters swooped directly towards the Japanese position, and then dozens of huge aerial bombs were dropped from under the belly.

Suddenly, a huge smoke of gunpowder and violent explosions sounded on the Japanese position, and the Japanese soldiers thought that the air regiment had made a mistake in the bombing target, but not a single one of them fired a shot back, but jumped out of the trench at the first time and desperately waved the Japanese dogskin plaster at the fighters of Shangguan Qing and others.

How could Shangguan Qing and the others not know the meaning of these Japanese soldiers, but this time their task was to escort the transport plane formation to smoothly airdrop supplies and supplies to the Second Regiment, and mess up the formation of the little devils surrounding the Second Regiment The most important thing at this time is that they must not take time out to snatch the supplies of the Second Regiment.

Soon the transport plane formation composed of 15 transport planes also arrived above the position of the second regiment, only to see boxes of ammunition and food parachuted into the position of the second regiment under the control of the parachute, although some of them were blown to the position of the Japanese army, but as soon as the supplies landed, Shangguan Qing ordered the fighter formation to immediately detonate the box of materials, and absolutely no ammunition could fall into the hands of the Japanese army.

In half an hour, the Second Regiment finally transported all the airdropped materials to the main position in Nanshan, and the air force formation that had completed the task also returned to the Baoding .......
