Chapter 549: Human flesh trade
After the political offensive achieved good results, Han Yunhua set his sights on the military aspect, and the Japanese army's character of retribution determined that they would definitely be angry and take the most intense and effective means to deal with the Inner Mongolia Military Region. Han Yunhua knows very well the temperament of the Japanese, if the Japanese can be indifferent this time, then they are not Japanese.
Since he knew that the little devil would have a big move, then Han Yunhua did not dare to slack off, after more than a year of competition, it was proved that Okamura Ningji was indeed much stronger than Binshan Yuan and Tada Jun, when Tada Jun was in charge of the North China Front, the Inner Mongolia Military Region only took less than a year to capture most of North China, but since Okamura Ningci arrived in North China, Han Yunhua's department only took advantage of the overall situation to seize a little opportunity after the strength skyrocketed, this is the gap. I usually can't see it, but when I compare it, I will find that Okamura Ninji is extraordinary.
Han Yunhua knew that Okamura Ningji was not only very accomplished in defense, but also much sharper than ordinary people in terms of offense, plus the current North China Front Army also had a relatively difficult Yoshio Shinozuka to deal with, these people were not easy to deal with together, and they had to plan early.
After a year or so of rest and development, there has been a qualitative leap in the battles of the units of the various military subdivisions, especially those units whose recruits account for the vast majority, and after more than a year of training, they finally have a little elite appearance; now the total strength of the six major military subdivisions of the Inner Mongolia Military Region has exceeded 1.3 million, and there are 92 combat establishments at the division level, of which 68 are infantry, 20 are cavalry, 3 are special forces, and 1 is a combat vehicle.
During the year, the Inner Mongolia Military Region basically did not recruit new soldiers, and now the 1.3 million troops have crushed the Inner Mongolia Military Region's finances and other aspects. The troops have been fighting before, and they have been winning battles, and if they win battles, they will be captured, and if they are captured, they will not worry about weapons, equipment, food and ammunition, so Han Yunhua has not felt much pressure all the time. But now it's different, the little devils are now shrewd, even if they are defeated by Han Yunhua's subordinates after each war, they will not leave weapons, ammunition and materials to the squadron, so every big war is high investment and low return, obviously this kind of fighting mode that cannot make ends meet has brought huge pressure to the logistics of the Inner Mongolia Military Region. If it weren't for the fact that the military region had set up a large arsenal in Baotou, Guisui, Zhangjiakou, and Beiping, I am afraid that the weapons and ammunition alone would have been enough for Han Yunhua to have a headache.
At this time, although the Battle of Dezhou had just ended, Han Yunhua did not dare to be careless, he ordered Yang Chengwu to strictly defend against the Japanese army's surprise attack, and at the same time sent a telegram to Xu Xiangqian, the commander of the Shandong Military Region, hoping that the Shandong Military Region could cooperate with the Inner Mongolia Military Region to defend the northwest and southwest of Shandong, and absolutely not let the little devils drive Yang Chengwu's troops out of Shandong.
In addition, Han Yunhua knows that the best defense is to attack, and it is impossible to defend it by relying on the troops alone, because simple defense will make the troops lose the initiative in battle, and the more people command, the more handy they are, while the defending side will fight more and more passively, and the final result is absolutely miserable. Therefore, Han Yunhua not only guarded Okamura Ningji like this thief, he wanted to attack, he wanted to let the Japanese army take care of themselves.
Han Yunhua is still relatively relieved about the situation in Shandong, after all, the more than 200,000 troops led by Yang Chengwu have not withdrawn, and there are 150,000 troops from the Southern Hebei Military Division as the backing, if Okamura Ningji uses less than 300,000 troops, I am afraid it will be difficult to break Yang Chengwu's defense line. However, Okamura Ninji is good at fighting big battles and tough battles, and often unexpectedly takes some special ways to achieve his goals, which is what we often call the good use of strange soldiers.
After this coastal offensive and defensive battle, Han Yunhua realized that the defense of the coast of the Inner Mongolia Military Region was still far from standard, not to mention dealing with the Japanese aircraft carrier group, even if it was a battleship, it would be enough for the Inner Mongolia Military Region to have a headache, so it was necessary to strengthen the defense force of the Tianjin coast. However, the fleet of the Inner Mongolia Military Region only has three or two poor kittens, which are not of great use at all, and it is okay to engage in sneak attacks, but once it is officially held, it is not enough to be of great use, so it is absolutely impossible to rely on warships to defend the coast of Tianjin, because it is not an opponent at the same level as others, and it is better not to send it if it is sent out. …,
Han Yunhua thought about it, and finally felt that the best way to defend the surface was to block the entire sea surface of Tianjin with mines, so that although the ships in Tianjin City should not think about going over, the large warships of the little devils should not think about coming in, and once the Tianjin port was blocked, it would become a dead port.
However, there is a problem that needs to be solved urgently, that is, there are not many mines in Tianjin now, and even if there are a few, they will not be able to block all the sea areas at all, so Han Yunhua must get a large number of mines in the fastest time, otherwise it is likely to be broken through by the little devils by waterway.
Although the manufacture of mines is not complicated, it is not something that the current Inner Mongolia Military Region can produce, after all, Han Yunhua is a person and not a god, he can't do anything, ordinary things are okay to say, after all, there are not many professional things, but the manufacture of mines is indeed not his specialty, and it may look like a reluctant manufacture, but it is really difficult to say whether it will sound or not when the time comes.
Han Yunhua is a person who does not admit defeat, he will do what he thinks, although the Inner Mongolia Military Region does not have mines and has no ability to make mines, but there are many people. Han Yunhua has always pursued the doctrine of take-it-or-leave-it, I don't have you and I don't have that, it's okay to say, but as long as I don't have what you have, then he will do everything possible to get it from you, and then become you and I have it.
This time, Han Yunhua targeted the Nationalist Government, and it happened that the Nationalist Government was salivating for Prince Fushimi Palace, and at this time, Fushimi Palace was a chicken rib for Han Yunhua's department, and it was a pity to abandon it if it was tasteless, and it was indeed the most in line with the interests of all parties to sell it.
Thinking of doing it, Han Yunhua didn't grind, he asked Qian Zhuangfei to contact the national government as soon as possible, of course, as for how to trade, it depends on the meaning of the high-level of both sides, and Qian Zhuangfei and these representatives of the national government alone have no way to make a decision.
Soon there was a reaction from the Nationalist Government, and this time Lao Jiang also showed extraordinary sincerity, he not only sent Dai Li to contact Qian Zhuangfei in person, but also secretly ordered to temporarily reduce friction with **. It is no wonder that Lao Jiang is so concerned, after all, the personal prestige of Prince Fushimi Palace and the influence of other parties are huge, just because Han Yunhua's department found out some secrets, the United States had to increase its support for China, and Lao Jiang saw tangible benefits. He didn't believe that Han Yunhua could dig out all the secrets of the old fox in Fushimi Palace, he believed that the Military Unification Bureau was the best in terms of intelligence gathering and other aspects. As far as intelligence and interrogation work are concerned, there is no doubt that the Military Command Bureau is undoubtedly the best organization in China and even in the world.
Chiang Kai-shek believed that as long as he got his hands on Prince Fushimi, the benefits he would get would be several times or even dozens of times what he paid. Moreover, Chiang Kai-shek heard that the Japanese even wanted to exchange the weapons and equipment of 3 infantry divisions with Han Yunhua at first, but Han Yunhua refused in a daze, as long as he paid no more than 5 infantry divisions' weapons and equipment, it was very cost-effective. It's really not possible to make a lot of money by reselling it to the Japanese, but after all, it is a last resort. Therefore, after receiving the telegram from the Beiping Station of the Military Commandery, Chiang Kai-shek was overjoyed and immediately sent such important personnel as Dai Li to take charge of the transaction.
Han Yunhua saw that Chiang Kai-shek even sent his confidant Dai Li, and knew that Lao Chiang was preparing to hemorrhage this time, so he was not polite. Han Yunhua's conditions were not particularly harsh, with the equipment of 5 infantry divisions and 3 divisions, as well as 1,500 mines, and 500 drifting mines, anchor mines, and sinking mines.
The conditions are not too harsh at that time, the number is just an empty shell for the current national government, anyway, they have long stopped paying the **, 3 divisions and 30 divisions are the same, there is no difference. The weapons and equipment of those three divisions are a bit troublesome, but it is not a big deal, and in the past two years, the Nationalist Government has successively obtained the equipment of 30 infantry divisions from the United States, of course, this is only calculated according to the current establishment of the Nationalist Government, if it is calculated according to the equipment of the US army, it will only be 20 integrated divisions, and there is no corresponding artillery. …,
A large part of Chiang Kai-shek's descendants have already changed their equipment, and a large number of weapons and equipment have not been distributed to other units for the time being, and it is nothing to transfer three divisions. However, those 1,200 mines are difficult to handle, and the Nationalist Government is not short of those 1,200 mines, but those things are not easy to transport, and if they are not good, they will explode. Now that the Japanese army has blocked the Yangtze River, the warships of the Nationalist Government cannot get out at all, so they cannot be transported by boat, and it is even more troublesome if they are transported by train.
However, Han Yunhua did not embarrass Lao Jiang, he asked Dai Li to tell Dai Li, as long as the national government transports all the parts to Xi'an separately, and the rest will be handled by them, but Han Yunhua also said that this time Lao Jiang can not discount weapons and equipment and troop numbers. Just like the last time he actually used some things to fool him, Han Yunhua didn't even use the number of the infantry division whose number was one hundred miles away, Lao Jiang did it very inauthentically, if he played tricks on this again this time, then there would be no possibility of trading in the future.
Chiang Kai-shek also did this time simply, in the name of the Ministry of Military Affairs, a national general order commended the Inner Mongolia Military Region for its continuous operations in North China and for its brilliant achievements in the great victories in Dezhou and Weifang, and specially promoted Han Yunhua to the second-class general of the army of the Nationalist Government, and a first-class Blue Sky and White Sun Medal, and also expanded the establishment of Han Yunhua's department, and specially allowed the department to set up five infantry divisions, including 101, 102, 103, 104, and 105, and the government allocated weapons and equipment for three infantry divisions, and Han Yunhua's department to solve the rest on its own. In view of the fact that Prince Fushimi Palace was an important war criminal of the Japanese army, he was afraid that Han Yunhua's subordinates would not be able to protect his safety, so Han Yunhua specially ordered Prince Fushimi Palace to be immediately escorted to Chongqing for detention.
Although this report is not long, the whole article is only about 300 words, but it shocks many people, the second-level general of the army is not enough, although it looks quite valuable, but after all, Han Yunhua is the general over there, whether it is a general or winning the lottery is meaningless for the Kuomintang troops, after all, Han Yunhua cannot run into the Kuomintang troops to command the Kuomintang troops, the most important thing is that the Kuomintang no matter what level of officer, Even the lowest-ranking soldier knew that Chairman Jiang couldn't really trust a ** general, so Han Yunhua's bullshit army general was simply chicken ribs, and there was no one and no deterrent at all.
However, the armament of the entire 3 infantry divisions is really eye-catching, even the worst B division has more than 7,000 guns, and the three divisions are more than 20,000 rifles, plus each division must be equipped with at least 50 light and heavy machine guns, adding up to 150, although the national government has less artillery, and even each infantry division of the Central Army has an artillery battalion, which is still a little better, and it is almost an artillery company, but it adds up to at least a reinforced artillery battalion, and it is really surprising that so many weapons and equipment are given to **.
On January 1, 1942, on the occasion of the arrival of the Gregorian New Year, the two sides officially began to trade, because mines and weapons and equipment were not stored in the same place, so the transaction between the two sides could only be divided into two parts. The first to be delivered were weapons and equipment, which were allocated by the Second War Zone, a total of 22,000 semi-new and old medium and formal rifles and 168 light and heavy machine guns, and the people in charge of this transaction were Li Jingquan and Fu Zuoyi. Of course, these two people are just put on the surface by both sides, and the people in charge secretly are actually Dai Li and Qian Zhuangfei.
Although Li Jingquan was very dissatisfied with the fact that most of the weapons and equipment delivered by the Second War Zone were half-new and not old, the performance was quite good when he tried it, so he reluctantly accepted it. Li Jingquan did not transport all this batch of weapons and equipment back to Hebei, but divided half of them to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, which distributed them to various units, and the rest was all transported by Li Jingquan to the Jizhong Military Division. …,
In fact, Han Yunhua originally planned to quietly transport this batch of weapons and equipment to the hinterland of Shandong to strengthen the strength of the local armed forces in Shandong, but he didn't expect Li Jingquan himself to intercept this batch of equipment, of course, people also have other reasons, the Inner Mongolia region will equip other troops with elves, but their old troops in the Jizhong Military Region still have a variety of weapons, 38 big covers, and there are official ones, and Hanyang and old sleeves are not unusual, is this like words?
Han Yunhua had no choice but to ask Li Jingquan to make a note to the military region headquarters, which meant that the Jizhong Military Sub-district would request approval from the military region headquarters for a number of weapons and equipment, and when the Jizhong Military Sub-district won the battle, it would be doubled.
Han Yunhua is indeed depressed, the harvest of this human flesh trade is not small, but he himself does not have any benefits from the old, an army general who is not worthy of the name is simply an idle position, and even an idle position is not as good as an idle position, the Kuomintang troops are not afraid of the ** troops do not admit it, and the army general's yellow tweed coat is not as comfortable as an ordinary camouflage uniform. Fortunately, the more than 1,000 mines have arrived, otherwise it would really be a wedding dress for others.
What was transported to Zhangjiakou was not ready-made mines, but parts for making mines, which needed to be assembled by the soldiers of the Inner Mongolia Military Region before they could be used. Han Yunhua is not worried that no one in the military region will play this Dongdong.
Although the Inner Mongolia Military Region does not have that talent, but who makes the family lucky, this time the Inner Mongolia Military Region sent troops to Weifang, Shandong, although the old turtle of the Japanese prince was caught behind, but in fact, in addition to the big fish of His Royal Highness Prince Fushimi Palace, the Inner Mongolia Military Region has a lot of other harvests. Although he didn't find the old Wu in Song Chunyi's mouth, it turned out that Lao Wu had died of illness a year ago. However, Han Yunhua still rescued a large number of talents from the Japanese concentration camp, including excellent educators, financial experts, etc., and the most exciting thing for Han Yunhua was that there was also an arms manufacturing expert in it.
Dylan, a retired British naval captain and a British Tobacco employee at the time, was more familiar with mines than his own house. When Han Yunhua asked for his help guiding Chinese workers in the installation of mines, he agreed without thinking. In this way, the problem of mines that plagued Han Yunhua was also successfully resolved.
The rescue of Weifang Qianli is basically over, but Han Yunhua knows that the Inner Mongolia Military Region has made a lot of money this time, and the standard intentional planting of flowers and flowers is completely unexpected. In addition to Prince Fushimi Palace and the more than 40 ships of cultural relics and gold, the biggest gain of the Inner Mongolia Military Region this time is talent.
Zhifu School was extremely famous both at that time and in later generations, bringing together a large number of outstanding teachers in the field of education in the concentration camp, who were not afraid of violence and hardship, insisted on the teaching work of Zhifu School, and at the same time in order to save some young people who had nothing to do outside Zhifu and lost confidence, taught them skills and livelihood skills, and helped them learn cultural knowledge, they also set up accounting classes, carpentry classes, Chinese classes, Japanese classes, Mongolian classes, Russian classes and workshops in the concentration camp to explain aviation and navigation knowledge, art theory, Chinese and foreign geography, history and other courses. Although these people did not show much value in the concentration camp, Han Yunhua was ecstatic after coming to the Inner Mongolia Military Region. At present, the Inner Mongolia Military Region really does not have much of a problem in terms of military hardware, and even if Japan dispatches all the troops of the whole country to attack the Inner Mongolia Military Region, it is impossible to destroy the Inner Mongolia Military Region in a short period of time. The Inner Mongolia Military Region now encompasses the territory of several provinces and has become the largest force in northern China, and what the Inner Mongolia Military Region lacks most now is professionals from all walks of life, and the arrival of these young people has solved another major problem in the Inner Mongolia Military Region.
