Chapter 481: Battle of Shandong (Final)

Chongqing. Chiang Kai-shek's official residence.

"Bang" The heavy folder was slammed on the desk, and Chairman Jiang looked at Director Dai in front of him with a gloomy face, his eyes were grim and vicious, and Dai Li shuddered when he saw it.

"Yu Nong, what does the Communist Party mean?"

Dai Li was also accustomed to seeing Chiang Kai-shek's tantrum during this time, although he was also a little scared in his heart, he still stubbornly said: "President, the meaning of the Communist Party is very clear, they want the party-state to take over the defense of the north, mainly in Hebei and Pingjin. ”

"Niang Xipi, the Communist Party is cunning, Han Yunhua's department suffered a big loss in Shandong, and now that the Communist Party is unable to hold the territory, it remembers the party-state, which is really shameless." Chiang Kai-shek said angrily.

After all, Dai Li's background in intelligence work is still relatively high, and his political acumen is still relatively high, so he thought about it and said: "President, in fact, it is not necessarily that the Communist Party can't hold the Hebei region because it has given it up. ”

Let's take the number and establishment of that unit as an example, the Communist Party has not been able to file with the Central Military Commission for more than five divisions, plus the three infantry divisions approved by the party-state before, adding up to only eight divisions, six of which are still Division B. But if you look at the current Communist Party, it is said that there are eight divisions, and even if it is eighty divisions, it will be about to be necessary, and in a few years, I am afraid that I will die at the hands of the Communist Party. Chiang Kai-shek has always been obsessed with the private expansion of the Communist Party and has always been concerned about it.

Dai Li looked at Chiang Kai-shek, and then said: "Actually, this may also be a conspiracy of the Communist Party, forcing the party-state to take the initiative to abandon the conspiracy in Hebei and other places." You must know that now the Communist Party has actually controlled the Hebei region, and the Shanxi side is fine, at least Chief Yan is still very strict with the guards, although the new army has basically been reddened now, but the Communist Party does not occupy much territory in Shanxi. The same is true in Shandong, although the Communist Party is deliberately trying to seize the Shandong region, and even does not hesitate to let Han Yunhua, the tiger general, lead the main force to Shandong. But the Japanese army is not easy to mess with, Okamura Ningji is a rare wise general in the Japanese army, and the Communist Party's strategy of planning Shandong is completely bankrupt. There is no doubt that Han Yunhua's department suffered heavy losses in this battle, but the essence of the department still exists. Although they had to face strong military pressure from the Japanese army, they did not have to ask the party-state to take over the defense. ”

"Not necessarily, Yunong, you look at these places that the Communist Party let the party-state take over, the southern Hebei, central Hebei, and Beijing-Tianjin regions, look at the enemy-friend situation in these places, although the Japanese army in these places has been wiped out, but the places that have just experienced the big war can hardly collect any taxes, and the party-state has to send a large number of troops to garrison it. In addition, the most important thing is that as long as Wei Lihuang's department takes over the defense, then we will become a buffer zone between the Communist Party and the Japanese army, and the territory of the Communist Party will be completely cut off from the North China Front. When the time comes, with sufficient time and energy, I am afraid that within a few years, the Communist Party will expand to 100 divisions and 200 divisions, and it will be really dangerous to do it at that time. Although Chiang Kai-shek's operational command level was only the level of an infantry battalion commander, his political skills were still extremely clever, and it was definitely not something that ordinary people could just want to get by offering flowers.

Dai Li was also taken aback by Chiang Kai-shek's conjecture, but on the other hand, there was still such a possibility. Dai Li knew that he couldn't say anything at this time, because this big guy already had an idea in his heart, and it was not beautiful to say too much. So he smiled and said: "President, you should make your own idea about this matter, now all walks of life are waiting for your reply, today the representatives of the Communist Party have come three times, if you don't pay attention to it, I'm afraid that public opinion will be very unfavorable to us." ”

"Public opinion, it's really a group of mediocre people who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, Niang Xipi. If you want to don't move, just wait and see, now Han Yunhua's department has not been beaten out of Shandong, let the 39th Group Army move in the direction of Shandong, and Wei Lihuang's department will be stationed in Handan, if the little devil really defeats Han Yunhua's department, then we will withdraw. If the little devil does not pursue Han Yunhua's department, then it can only mean that the little devil has no intention of marching into Beiping, and we will completely take over the territory at that time. "Chiang Kai-shek clearly intended to drive the wolf and gobble up the fisherman's profits.

Dai Li said: "President, the Communist Party is not comparable to ordinary warlords, so we must be cautious if we don't make a decision, otherwise we will let those guys who have already turned red take advantage of it." ”,

"What Yu Nong said is very reasonable, so let's temporarily drop all your elite forces to the Shandong region, and find out how many troops Han Yunhua's troops have lost at all costs, I want to see what kind of trick *** has given me." Chiang Kai-shek sneered.

On 1 March, the spokesman of the Nationalist Government held a press conference and read out the Nationalist Government's draft on the situation in North China. The draft first reaffirmed the agreement between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party on the ownership of North China, and at the same time, the Nationalist Government announced that it had ordered Gao Shuxun's 39th Army to march eastward to the Shandong front and cooperate with Han Yunhua's troops to resist the Japanese attack.

At the same time, the Nationalist Government also ordered Wei Lihuang's subordinates to immediately send troops to southern Hebei and stationed on the front line of Handan and Xingtai. The First Theater of Operations in Henan was also preparing to send a large number of troops north to support the Eighth Route Army and Han Yunhua's headquarters.

For the Nationalist Government's actions, there was a sudden burst of praise in the country, and even Han Yunhua himself had to issue a telegram thanking Chairman Chiang for his generosity.

On the Shandong front, Yang Chengwu was immediately shocked after reading the telegram sent back, Han Yunhua's plan was clear to him, and if the Nationalist Government really took over Hebei's defense, it would seriously affect the development of the Inner Mongolia Military Region. First of all, the Inner Mongolia Military Region will no longer have the opportunity to expand its territory, let alone the possibility of capturing the Japanese puppet army, and then it will only be able to face the elite of the Eastern Army. Yang Chengwu didn't care about the fierce fighting on the front line, and immediately rushed to Han Yunhua's temporary headquarters with a cavalry battalion.

The military commanders of several other clusters, who were concerned about the dynamics of the National Government, unanimously handed over command to their deputies and rushed to the Provisional Command with their own guard units.

Looking at the = commanders of these clusters in front of him, Han Yunhua was annoyed.

"Smack" "Who asked you to come back, you can solve the problem when you come back?" Han Yunhua said angrily.

"Commander, aren't we in a hurry, so we rushed back, don't be angry, let's talk about what we should do next?" Yang Chengwu and Han Yunhua have been together the longest, so they talk the most casually. Of course, he also knew that Han Yunhua was not really that angry, otherwise he would not have talked to them like this, so he sent guards to arrest them all.

"Fart, you are not making an ordinary mistake, you are dereliction of duty, the fighting on the front line is so fierce, you as the commander of hundreds of thousands of troops, you can come and go as you want, what kind of system. If the little devil seizes the opportunity to counterattack at this time, the consequences will be unimaginable, and they will have a hippie smile and a fart smile, and the clerk will give each of them a demerit. Han Yunhua continued.

Li Jingquan hurriedly said: "Don't mind, commander, aren't we in a hurry, besides, don't you know best in your own heart what the battle on the front line is like, hundreds of thousands of troops are attacking around several enemy fortifications, and the ammunition is consumed a lot, but the results achieved are very limited, and in the past few days, we have simply saved all the ammunition and replaced it with firecrackers." Although there are a lot of "corpses" that are "carried" down every day, they are alive and kicking after they go back. ”

Yang Chengwu also followed: "That is, we surrounded the infantry wing of the Japanese army for a few days, and before we could figure out how to deal with the little devil of the infantry brigade of the dog's day, we secretly sent people to contact us, hoping that both of us will maintain restraint and ensure the safety of the surrounded troops, as long as we don't attack the infantry brigade, they will not embarrass our infantry regiment, what the hell, the little devil who has been fighting for a few years has negotiated with the little devil, hehehe, interesting." ”

"Shut up for me, even if this time passes, the next time you commit a crime severely, a general will have to look like a general, look at your hippie smiling faces, and you are not afraid of the soldiers' jokes." Han Yunhua scolded with a smile.

"Commander, just tell me what we should do next, Chiang Kai-shek is clearly going to hand over Hebei to the Japanese, we are working desperately on the front line, he is good, he doesn't see if he has the ability, he will grab it when he sees the chassis, it's really a fucking nest." Li Jingquan has a violent temper, and his mouth becomes dirty as soon as he opens his mouth.

Han Yunhua said: "What's the hurry, don't think so badly of Chiang Kai-shek, although he has different political views from us, and he has also met with our swordsmen." But in any case, he Jiang is also a Chinese, with the blood of our Yanhuang descendants, no matter how shameless he is, he will not throw a huge Hebei to the Japanese, which everyone can rest assured. ”,

"Don't worry, commander, you have to think clearly, he Chiang Kai-shek has a criminal record, if it weren't for his order not to resist, would the 100,000 Northeast Army be able to run into the pass without firing a shot." Now more than 30 million compatriots in the Northeast are still moaning under the oppression of the Japanese devils, and he Jiang is a typical person who would rather than give domestic slaves to outsiders, and the old witch of Cixi is the same as the raccoon dog. Can we rest assured that such a person is the result of his passive resistance in North China, which was gradually occupied by Little Japan, and the commander cannot withdraw from Hebei under any circumstances. Yang Chengwu poured beans into the bamboo tube and shook out Chiang Kai-shek's previous convictions.

"At this time and that time, the situation is different now, we were in Chiang Kai-shek's eyes before, and we were the first enemy he wanted to get rid of, but the Japanese were different, at that time, the Japanese were determined to seize the northeast region, so they did not show their intention to invade China in an all-out way, so Chiang Kai-shek would behave so badly. However, now the Japanese are even more of a picture of the Nationalist Government will not give up, he Jiang someone as long as the head is not a paste should know who is now the henchman of the Nationalist Government, the loss of Hebei to the Japanese is not only not conducive to the overall situation of the Anti-Japanese War, but also not conducive to his Jiang someone's control of the whole of China, so the Nationalist Government is playing with this hand, obviously wanting Hebei but but worrying about provoking the Japanese devils and cheapening us, hehehe, since he said so now, Then we will withdraw our troops tomorrow, hum" Han Yunhua said dissatisfiedly.

"Really withdraw?" Yang Chengwu knew that Han Yunhua was a person who said nothing, and since he said it, he would definitely not regret it, and he was really ready to withdraw his troops tomorrow.

"That's still false, pass my order, let go of the main road, let the surrounded Japanese infantry brigade roll back to Texas, and our large army will also begin to withdraw."

"Don't mind, commander, we released the infantry brigade of the little devils, what about our second regiment, the little devils didn't eat them alive. Besides, it's no wonder that we just withdrew like this, and we won't be scolded to death by the countrymen, this is not your style of Commander Han. Li Jingquan said.

"The style of fart, this style of mine is a scum in front of those masters who cover the clouds, don't worry, he Okamura Ningji is not as bad as you think. If we let go of his infantry brigade, our second regiment will be saved, and you should not think that if we surround other people's infantry brigades, it is equivalent to preserving the first brigade and the second regiment, let me tell you, the Japanese are far crazier than you imagined, and none of them who dare to invade China are good at stubble, and people do not take their own lives seriously at all, and people who don't even take their own lives seriously will take other people's lives seriously, the answer is obvious. As long as the war requires, I dare to guarantee that Okamura Ninji will not hesitate to sacrifice the infantry brigade in the encirclement, and the soldiers of that infantry brigade will not have any opinion, this is the horror of bushido, this is naked brainwashing. But it's not the same if we take the initiative to open the road and let their troops withdraw, there is still something desirable in the spirit of bushido, I respect him a foot, and he Okamura Ninji must pay me back, otherwise he won't even be able to pass the level of his own men. Okay, don't say anything, follow the order, I think you can guarantee that Hebei can't lose it. Han Yunhua said confidently.

"Yes, resolutely carry out the order"

"Guaranteed to get the job done"

The news of Han Yunhua's division withdrawing troops from Shandong soon spread, and even the news that Han Yunhua's department took the initiative to release the encircled Japanese infantry brigade also spread out. For a time, the whole country was in an uproar, and public opinion across the country was surging for a while, all claiming that Han Yunhua's department had suffered heavy losses in the past month, and some unknown magazines and newspapers even claimed that Han Yunhua's department had lost a total of 100,000 troops.

However, no one suspected that Han Yunhua collaborated with the enemy, because now Han Yunhua seems to have become a model general in the anti-Japanese war on the battlefield of the whole country, and not long ago, his troops and horses also annihilated tens of thousands of cavalry of the Japanese army, which is a real record, who dares to say that Han Yunhua's troops did not resist Japan. Besides, the notice of the Japanese army base camp offering a reward to Han Yunhua is still circulating in all Chinese troops, and it is no secret that every soldier of the North China Front must have a photo of Han Yunhua on his body, not to mention whether Han Yunhua himself is willing to surrender to the enemy, even if he is willing to surrender to the Japanese, he will not accept it. ,

Now Han Yunhua's troops have retreated without a fight, and they have not even had time to destroy the encircled Japanese troops, there is only one possibility, that is, Han Yunhua's troops have suffered heavy losses in the past battles, and they have to withdraw their troops to protect the large army.

And there is an even more surprising thing, not long after Han Yunhua's unit withdrew from the forward position, under the gift of the Japanese army's heavy troops, the 1st Brigade and 2nd Regiment of the 300th Division, which had been surrounded by the Japanese army for nearly two months, were sent out of the Shandong border unharmed. This move of the Japanese army caused many people to break their glasses and drop their jaws.

"Niang Xipi, what does he Han Yunhua want to do, he really withdrew his troops, Yu Nong, you are not mistaken, right? A lot of words," Chiang Kai-shek shouted angrily in the Chiang Mansion.

Dai Li smiled bitterly: "President, your guess is unfortunate, Han Yunhua's department didn't want to attack Shandong in the first place, and this attack on Shandong was also forced to be helpless, it was the old devil of Okamura Ningji who forced him to go, it can be said that this Shandong battle was Gangmura for Han Yunhua's set, so it will lead to heavy losses for Han Yunhua's department." In addition, the Communist Eighth Route Army was already difficult to supply ammunition, and Han Yunhua's troops had already had the heart to withdraw from Hebei, and they saw that the big cities in Hebei were simply a burden, and they had long wanted the party-state to take over. According to the information sent back by my people, Han Yunhua's troops really want to withdraw their troops from Hebei, and as of this afternoon, Han Yunhua's troops have all withdrawn from Shandong, leaving only a few small troops to monitor the Japanese army, and the large army has withdrawn to several counties and cities in Hengshui and Linqing, and the baggage has been withdrawn to a farther place. As soon as the troops of the party-state arrived, they completely withdrew to Saibei and became their emperors. ”

"Niang Xipi, if you want to be the emperor of the soil, how can it be so easy. I heard that Han Yunhua has already emptied most of Hebei, and we can't get much benefit when we go. At the same time, he telegraphed to the Communist Party that the government was now under attack by the Japanese army in Henan, and that the government was now under attack by the Japanese army in Henan, and that it had no time to take care of the areas of Hebei, so Hebei and all the previously agreed territories were now handed over to them for occupation free of charge, and that they would be used as a place to raise soldiers and food, and that the party-state would no longer pay their military salaries after two months. Chiang Kai-shek said with some reluctance.

Dai Li worried: "President, I'm afraid the Communist Party will not agree, they originally planned to throw Hebei's hot potato to the party-state, and now if we do this, I'm afraid that the Communist Party will withdraw its troops from Hebei desperately, and then we will be much more passive." ”……,
