In the end, Han Yunhua still did not escape the end of being beaten by the local tyrant, although he repeatedly emphasized that his wallet and that of the entire Inner Mongolia Military Region had collapsed, but Comrade Xiang didn't care about this, plus his partner was not a reasonable person, and in the end, Han Yunhua was still asked to take away a cavalry regiment, and he was snatched away with people and horses.

There is no opinion on supporting a cavalry regiment of the 115th Division, whether it is Han Yunhua or Luo Ronghuan, because the 115th Division is not a small help to the Inner Mongolia Military Region, and after the Inner Mongolia Military Region captured Hebei and the Beijing-Tianjin region, a large number of local armed forces that originally belonged to the 115th Division were all assigned to the battle sequence of the Inner Mongolia Military Region, and there are still many brigades and regiments in formation, like Xing Renpu, who was executed not long ago, is the commander of the Pingjin Detachment of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army, and the Pingjin Detachment is at the regimental level. Moreover, it is about to be upgraded to a brigade-level military unit by the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, and even has a number - the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army teaches the Sixth Brigade.

Therefore, on this basis, the Inner Mongolia Military Region owes a lot of favors to the 115th Division, let alone a cavalry regiment, if the two bigwigs of the 115th Division speak, a complete cavalry division Han Yunhua will also come to the conclusion that this is a matter of principle. But fortunately, Xu Xiangqian and Chen Guang also knew that the Inner Mongolia Military Region was now the mainstay of the Eighth Route Army, and there were really not a few enemies they had to deal with, so there was no lion opening his mouth, and a cavalry regiment was already very good.

The operational command room of the former enemy headquarters of the Southern Hebei Military Subdivision of the Inner Mongolia Military Region is very quiet now, and there are only four people in the entire operational command room, except for Han Yunhua, there are only Xu Xiangqian, Chen Guang, and Yang Chengwu.

Han Yunhua looked at Xu Xiangqian and the others and said, "There is something serious to discuss when the two leaders are invited here today, so the two leaders must be mentally prepared." ”

"Hahahaha, if you want to say that I could really afford to be the chief of your sentence 3 years ago, but now I don't dare to be it, you kid is now the commander of the dignified military region, and your Inner Mongolia Military Region is much more than all the people of our Eighth Route Army plus the New Fourth Army, some time ago when I went back to Yan'an for meetings, I often listened to the chairman and commander-in-chief often mention you. It's like I've treated you as our ** model party member, envy and jealousy! Xu Xiangqian said with a smile.

Han Yunhua didn't know about this, and said a little embarrassedly: "How can it, that's the chairman's love, although the strength of our military region is not small." However, they are all people's troops under the leadership of the party, and they have little to do with Han Yunhua personally. Besides, when I crossed the meadow, you were already the main leader of the Red Fourth Front Army, and it is perfectly okay to call you a leader. ”

"Okay, let's not argue about this matter, you can call me Lao Xu in the future, and I will call you Yunhua. Anyway, we are not in the same military system, and the relationship between superiors and subordinates does not need to be so clear, and besides, you are now the secretary of the Northern Bureau. So let's not dwell on this issue, let's talk about your business first. Seeing how mysterious you've been, I can't help but want to know what's going on. Xu Xiangqian said decisively.

"Okay, Lao Xu, Lao Chen, and Cheng Wu, what do you think of the current movements of the little devils?" Han Yunhua said.

"There are some opinions, but they are not mature. After all, we just received an order from the central government, saying that the 115th Division was going to advance into Shandong, but now the little devil has been forced to this point by your military region and does not fight back. Xu Xiangqian said.

Chen Guang thought for a while and said, "It's not their style for little devils to shrink back, especially not like the combat style of Okamura Ningji, an old devil. As long as we flip through the information of Gangcun a little, we can see that this person is not simple, and he is not an easy character to deal with. The actions of this man when he was the commander of the 11th Army have proven that this man is definitely not a straw bag, but a strategic wizard. It was only in June 1938 that Gangcun was transferred from the commander of the Second Division to the commander of the newly formed 11th Army, responsible for attacking the Wuhan area. This person was at the time of the second battle of Wuhan. With the support of the Navy and Air Force, break through the fortress of Tianjiazhen. Repelled Zhang Fakui and Li Pinxian's two corps along the way. The rush to Wuchang was the main culprit that led to the fall of Wuhan. In the Battle of Nanchang, in the face of 200,000 people in 10 armies of Luo Zhuoying's group and three wide rivers across the road to the march, Gangcun did not hesitate to disobey the will of Marshal Prince Gong Zairen, Chief of the General Staff, and strongly advocated using the weak divisions of the 101st and 106th companies as the main force, and in terms of specific tactics, he concentrated 250 heavy artillery on the 3-kilometer-wide breakthrough, and concentrated 130 tanks to break through alone as a vanguard under the cover of the Air Force, and as a result, he occupied Nanchang in seven days. You must know that half a year after Germany's blitzkrieg attack on Poland, he can be included in the list of famous Japanese generals just by making this plan and decision, so we can almost be sure that the retreat of the Japanese army this time is definitely not because they are afraid of your military region, but because there is a greater plan to contain their hands and feet, so that they have to shrink and have to be grandsons. "Chen Guang is worthy of being a high-ranking cadre of our party and our army, and his strategic attainments are no worse than Comrade Xu Xiangqian, Han Yunhua nodded straight when he saw it. …,

Seeing that the two big chiefs were finished, Yang Chengwu got up and said: "I am the commander-in-chief of this battle of Dezhou, I am very familiar with all the actions of the Japanese army, in fact, the Japanese army was more active than us at the beginning, and it has been invested in the strength of four infantry divisions, and at this time, all the troops of the little devil in Shandong are only 9 divisions and 3 independent mixed brigades, and the troops transferred to Dezhou at once are equivalent to about half of their garrison in Shandong, which is not the puppet army of nearly 5 infantry divisions on the front line, From this point, we can see that the little devils were not actually ready to retreat from the beginning, they wanted to fight to the death with our army at the beginning, and whether it was in terms of strength or the weapons and equipment of the troops, the Japanese army was not inferior at all, and it was not worse than our army at all. However, since our army completely annihilated their 62nd Division, the little devils have become cautious, and then they have directly retreated on all fronts, except for the fortified cities, they have almost given up all the towns and villages, and there are more than 180 strongholds and artillery towers that have been actively abandoned. Combined with the intelligence transmitted by our army's intelligence officers from the enemy-occupied areas some time ago, it shows. During this period, the Japanese army moved frequently, especially the Japanese troops in Qingdao and other places, and during this time, the Qingdao seaport was under martial law for half a month, and a large number of Japanese troops entered the port of Qingdao every day and never came out, and it seemed to disappear all at once. So I judged that the little devil might have made a big move on that battlefield, so he had to temporarily take a defensive position against our army. Wait for the other side to free up and clean up our army, I don't know if my judgment is correct? ”

Han Yunhua is very satisfied with Yang Chengwu's performance, since Yang Chengwu was transferred to the Inner Mongolia Military Region, he has always been under Han Yunhua's personal guidance to learn Han Yunhua's experience in leading troops, and he has made obvious progress and achieved remarkable results.

Han Yunhua concluded: "Your views are the same. This is accurate, and I agree with you, but the little devils are not holding back on other battlefields, but they are temporarily shifting their strategic focus to other battlefields. As you said, Okamura Ninji is a terrible person, regardless of political ideas and country specifics. This person can be called a military wizard, and he is more difficult than Terauchi Shouichi and Binshan Moto. This person's greatness is not only due to his proper military operations and far-reaching strategic foresight, but also because he is more far-sighted than ordinary Japanese officers in terms of his ideology of aggression against China and his policy toward China, and he even opposes the Japanese government's support for the establishment of the Wang Chingwei regime. It was believed that this would stimulate the Kuomintang regime in Chongqing and force it to embark on the road of desperate resistance. He opposed the Japanese serving as officials at all levels in the occupied areas, and advocated using China to control China and give "dignity" to the Chinese. He put forward the slogan of "currying favor with Chiang Aimin" and constantly divided the anti-Japanese forces. If the Japanese Government had adopted Okamura Ninji's strategic thinking, I am afraid that our War of Resistance would have been much more difficult than it is now. ”

Han Yunhua picked up the whip and pointed at the map and said, "Guys, let's take a look at what Gangcun has done in North China, since Okamura Ningji was awarded the rank of general, he was appointed by the emperor to be the commander of the North China Front. Presently. The North China Front had 245,000 personnel and 52,000 horses. The North China Front is Japan's largest strategic bloc. However, it was such a strategic group that was beaten by our Eighth Route Army, and the results achieved were far greater than those achieved by the Nationalist Government's millions of troops in several major battles. According to secret information from our intelligence officers. Okamura did not go to Jinan to take over military affairs at the first time, but stayed for a while in Liumingzhuang, a suburb of Jinan, where he concentrated for a period of time to analyze the reasons for his predecessor's mistakes, and held that the North China Front has always been highly dispersed and deployed troops, with an average of only two people per 3 square kilometers. In the absence of a precise and regular corrective objective, it often becomes a static defense. If the Japanese army does not take the initiative to crusade, it will not attack. At first glance, it seems that a non-aggression pact has been concluded. But during the coexistence of the two sides, ** worked secretly among the population, replenishing its forces, and when the time came, it could turn to the offensive in one fell swoop. Therefore, the goal of the Japanese army's policy should be to take the planned measure of taking the initiative to attack, to divide the territory, to consolidate the public security areas within a limited time, to conceal the forces in the quasi-security areas, to enter the public security areas in a planned way, and to advance to the unsafe areas with the remaining forces, so that they can develop into the quasi-security areas. The ultimate goal is to bring 100 million people in northern China to the Japanese side. To follow such steps, we should neither rush to achieve results nor miss the opportunity, and we must have targeted tactics. Lao Xu, Lao Chen, do you think this person is terrible? ”…,

Xu Xiangqian said in surprise: "It's terrible, I didn't expect Okamura Ningji to know so much about our Eighth Route Army, and analyze it so hard, it's terrifying!" ”

Yang Chengwu said: "What's even more terrifying is Okamura Ningji's attack on the Eighth Route Army and the guerrillas in our Shandong region, and this person has a set of skills for dealing with the Eighth Route Army. He believed that our Eighth Route Army was like a maggot attached to the bone, and that it would grow rapidly as soon as the strength of the medicine passed, so at the beginning of his tenure, he ordered the troops not to relax their suppression of the Eighth Route Army, and he planned to increase the area actually controlled by the Japanese army from 10 percent to 70 percent in three years. From last year to the first half of this year, Okamura Ninji mobilized tens of thousands of Japanese troops and began a brutal "sweep" against the Eighth Route Army in Shandong and the large number of guerrillas in Shandong where the remnants of the Kuomintang were mainly active. In fact, this "three noes" is more powerful than the "three lights", ostensibly restraining the Japanese army's war behavior, but in fact he wants to buy people's hearts and minds and achieve the goal of occupying China for a long time. It's just that the bad habits of the Japanese soldiers are difficult to change, and they can't restrain themselves as soon as they go to the locality, plus the laissez-faire of the junior officers. That's why it evolved into the now infamous three-light policy. Okamura's tactics produced a major effect, and in the last six months alone, the Kuomintang troops could not stand the pressure and surrendered more than 200,000 alone. In just half a year, we have lost almost all of Shandong's base areas, and there are more than 160 guerrilla units that have been wiped out by the Japanese army, large or small, and even our main force in Shandong has been gradually marginalized. Until the beginning of this year, he was directly driven out of Shandong. In Shandong alone, our army lost almost all of its base areas and population, so Okamura Ninji was a more vicious and sophisticated opponent than Tada. He has a lot of skills. Be realistic and meticulous. Every time he attacked, he had to investigate for half a year and make preparations. There is no inside line to cooperate with the 'maintenance' of the 'cannibalization' of him. He doesn't show off and doesn't talk much. He is not rude to his subordinates, and you can't tell his movements from his speech. He often collected and studied our things extensively, and was one of the most powerful Japanese commanders in North China in history. ”

"This Okamura Ningji is really powerful, but no matter how powerful he is, he is a little devil, and he will never really be able to stand on the Chinese chassis. Fighting a war is a collective work, no matter how powerful one person is, it will not make much difference, and if the Japanese soldiers and junior officers can directly transform the three-noes policy into the three-light policy, then they will be able to destroy Okamura Ninji's other strategic concepts. So what we have to do now is to constantly mobilize the masses and truly turn this war into a people's war, ** I said, only the people can win this war, as long as we win the support of the people, we will be able to persevere. Xu Xiangqian said in a deep voice.

"Actually, I called you here today to talk about this matter, since the little devil started a war with the United States and Britain and other countries in the Pacific Theater, our life has been much better, although now the little devil is still in an advantageous position in the Pacific Theater. The strategic offensive posture is obvious. But I think that soon they will be in trouble, and the bombing of the Japanese mainland by American bombers not so long ago is a signal. I judge that this time Okamura Ninji ordered all the troops to shrink down, and this has something to do with this matter. Han Yunhua said.

"What's the relationship?" Xu Xiangqian asked in a deep voice.

"Based on the information about the latest movements of the Japanese army from the intelligence department of our military region, I personally judge that the Japanese army will launch a large-scale battle in the Pacific theater. For the time being, its strategic focus will shift to Southeast Asia. ”…,

"Yunhua, I know that your strategic vision has always been very accurate, but this is not our domestic war situation, can you be sure of the actions of the Japanese army in the Pacific theater, if you can't judge it, if we have any actions, we will become very passive." Chen Guang said worriedly.

"Hehehe, there's nothing to worry about, Lao Chen, you have to believe me, the little devils will definitely make a big move in the Pacific theater this time, otherwise they will not continue to frequently transfer troops from various theaters in China, the Kwantung Army, the North China Front Army, the General Headquarters of the Chinese Dispatch Army, etc., all have intelligence showing that a large number of troops have been transferred. And I can also be sure that the little devil is going to flank the troops of the United States and Britain on both the sea and land sides this time. Han Yunhua said slowly.

"It's impossible, almost all of the territory of the United States in the Pacific Ocean has been occupied by little devils, what else is worth using by the Japanese, and besides, the battle in Southeast Asia can't be intervened even if we judge it, don't you, Yunhua, have other plans?" Xu Xiangqian asked.

"Of course there is, it's a rare opportunity, and the intelligence from our intelligence officers said that during this time, troops in Qingdao Port have been transferred, and the number of the troops is vivid. But when I sent someone to investigate, I found that the Japanese army that those intelligence officers said was still stationed in the local area, obviously our intelligence officers would not lie, and I sent to investigate the Japanese army was our special combat team, which was absolutely elite, whether it was a Japanese soldier They can see at a glance, there is no doubt at all, and then I asked people to check the number and found a problem, although the little devils have no problems with the garrisons in various places on the surface, but in fact they are only about half of the troops, In other words, the entire North China Front Army now has less than half of its original strength, and this is a rare opportunity for us. How's that, is this ticket going to work? Han Yunhua agitated.

Obviously, Xu Xiangqian and Chen Guang are moved, if it is really like what Han Yunhua said, then this time they will have a breakthrough point to advance into Shandong, is it difficult to start everything, the most difficult thing to really create a base is how to gain a foothold and how to make a name for itself, as long as it is famous, will it be difficult to build a base area.

"Do you have a plan?" Xu Xiangqian asked again.

"Listen to me what you do, when the time comes, I will ensure that the 115th Division can once again become famous in the world, and by the way, I will give you a big base area." Han Yunhua said confidently.

"Hehe, that's a good dare, it's decided, we will do it with you this vote, and the 115th Division will all be under your command."
