Chapter 740 The Great Victory in Northern Jiangsu
On June 1938, 6, Han Deqin, chairman of the Jiangsu Provincial Government, launched a large-scale military offensive in northern Jiangsu!
Known in history as "Double Six Operations"!
In this military battle, Han Deqin devoted all his strength in northern and central Jiangsu, and launched a fierce attack on Yancheng, Funing, and Dongtai.

At the same time, the national army, guerrillas, and the Fourth Route Army in northern and central Jiangsu all participated in the battle.

The guerrillas under the command of the military command and the central command also joined the attack on the Japanese army.

The people in the occupied areas also destroyed Japanese military supplies.

Broken highways, bombed bridges, and paralyzed the southern section of the Jinpu Railway.

"Using all of my strength in northern Jiangsu, I fought a decisive battle with the Japanese army. The fall of northern Jiangsu is a lifelong shame for the soldiers. If you can't conquer Funing and other cities, you will never withdraw your troops!"

This is the general mobilization order issued by Han Deqin before the start of the "Double Six Campaign"!

In this large-scale military operation, the military command agents also began to play their huge role.

In addition to continuously providing information on Japanese troops from various places to the attacking troops, they also mobilized the people in cities such as Yancheng and Funing to respond to the attacking troops.

This is known as "the most proud action of the military command in northern Jiangsu"!
One person promoted the great changes in northern Jiangsu:

Meng Shaoyuan!
"This person alone has stirred up the entire northern and central Jiangsu..."

In the report to the chairman in the future, it was evaluated as follows:

"He almost single-handedly pushed Han Deqin to make up his mind to launch an attack on Yancheng and other cities... and with the help of this operation, the Fourth Route Army faced the Japanese Sato Regiment alone in an attempt to wipe out the Fourth Route Army in one fell swoop. It is a pity that the front The intelligence was wrong, and the Sato Alliance was known as the elite, and the combat was extremely difficult, which made Meng Shao's original plan come to nothing...

This person is extremely capable, loyal to the party-state and leaders, meticulous in his work methods, and resolute in his actions.Although there are things to blame in his private life, he is greedy for money and lustful, but they are all small things.It is not unreasonable for Japan to call him "the public enemy of Japan, the strongest agent on the surface".This time, from Ningbo to northern Jiangsu, I have made meritorious service along the way, which can be reused..."

This is a very high evaluation of Meng Shaoyuan.

After the chairman of the committee forwarded the report to Dai Li, he wrote the following passage:

"You can consider continuing to promote and use..."

……

On June 1937, 6, with the cooperation of military special agents, Han Deqin's department recovered Funing.

During the Battle of Funing, the Japanese troops from all over the country who tried to reinforce Yancheng and other places were blocked one after another, making it difficult to move an inch.

As soon as Funing was lost, the Japanese army had no choice but to retreat back to their stronghold.

Taking advantage of the victory, Han Bu pursued and surrounded Yancheng in two ways.

After two days of fierce fighting, part of the enemy was wiped out, and Yancheng was recovered on June 6.

On the 12th, the Korean Ministry made persistent efforts to recover Dongtai!
Known in history as "North Jiangsu Great Victory"!
As soon as the news of the great victory came out, the whole country was excited!

This is another hearty victory for China since the Taierzhuang victory!

The chairman of the committee called Han Deqin: "The army fought the enemy bravely and repeatedly played skin skills, which is deeply comforting. Shangxi will continue to work hard to disturb the enemy's rear for the benefit of the overall situation."

Han Deqin did not give up, but took advantage of this victory to repeatedly attack the Japanese army.

Even afterward, Han Bu launched an offensive against Xuzhou!
韩德勤亲自指挥57军111师及89军两个团反攻徐州，以111师661团及89军两个团分别从徐州西侧、东侧袭击日军，111师666团在徐州南曹村车站附近打援。

During the battle, the national army once invaded Xuzhou Xiguan and occupied part of the urban area.Although it failed to capture Xuzhou in the end, it also contained the Japanese troops to a certain extent.

In order to commend Han Deqin's troops for their achievements in destroying the Jinpu Railway and counterattacking Xuzhou, Chiang Kai-shek replied to Han Deqin again:
"The army's loyalty and bravery in the war of resistance are very commendable. I still hope to continue to work hard to kill thieves bravely and contain the enemy's rear, so as to benefit the battle in Wuhan. It is a great contribution."

During this period, the Subei National Army under the leadership of Han Deqin actively fought against Japan, consolidating and expanding the anti-Japanese bases behind enemy lines centered on Huaiyin.

Its three-month battle destroyed the Longhai-Jinpu line of communication to a certain extent, restrained the actions of the Japanese army, cooperated with the military activities on the frontal battlefield, and caused considerable losses to the Japanese army.

During this period, the Japanese army suffered about 3160 casualties.Among them, in the Battle of Tongru, about 630 people were killed or injured by the Japanese Army Qingben Zhongzuo; in the battles of Xuzhou and the southern section of Jinpu Road, about 500 people were killed or injured by the Songcun Brigade of the Fifth Division of the Japanese Army; 300 people.

The Report reports:
"The results of the war in the occupied areas of Suzhou, according to recent surveys, are the best in the counties of Xuzhou. It is planned to contain the strength of the first division of the Japanese army for a long time. According to 62 traffic points, in the past three months, the guerrillas in each county have contacted the Japanese army. More than [-] times, more than [-] times of positional battles, five or six times of large-scale raids against the Japanese army, a total of more than [-] Japanese casualties, guerrillas destroyed Jinlong Road and highways more than [-] times, destroyed Japanese trains five times, pulled out There are more than [-] miles of electric poles..."

……

Yancheng, June 1938, 6.

"Good news, good news for Dongtai, our army has recovered Dongtai!"

Han Deqin accepted the telegram with a smile and held it up high:
"Dongtai is restored, and our army has won a complete victory!"

"Long live! Long live the war of resistance! Long live victory!"

A burst of cheers resounded through the sky.

"Order!" Han Deqin said loudly: "All the ministries are chasing down the poor bandits, and drive all the Japanese out!"

This was the most glorious moment in Han Deqin's life.

It is also enough to remember a period of history!
Deqin Han reached the pinnacle of his personal fame this year!

……

"Drink, drink, open up and drink!"

Han Deqin's voice was very loud, and he kept persuading him to drink.

Everyone looked very excited, and they all blushed from drinking.

If you win, you are entitled to drink like this.

Just before that, the people sitting here were Japanese!

Han Deqin personally served a toast to Meng Shaoyuan who was sitting at the table: "Commissioner Meng, you have contributed a lot to this great victory. The Japanese's intelligence is clear, and the agents also accompanied the army to fight and killed a large number of Japanese troops. We I respect you!"

"Chairman Han, I am no longer a commissioner." Meng Shaoyuan stood up with a smile: "All the supplies have been distributed, and the bullets have hit the Japanese. I, the commissioner, can also step down."

"Ah, yes, yes." Deqin Han also smiled: "Observer Meng, Brother Meng, come and drink."

Meng Shaoyuan drank it in one gulp, and poured himself another glass of wine: "This glass of wine is to Chairman Han, to Commissioner Li, to Director Xue, to Chief Waiting, and to all the brothers who fought bravely and bravely in this battle. them!"

"Dry!"

In an instant, the emotions were mobilized to the climax!

……

"It's a pity." Hou Yongsheng put down his wine glass and sighed: "The great victory is certainly worth gratifying, but there are also flaws in the ointment. There is no one who died in the Fourth Route Army. How can this be reasonable?"

"There are still wounded." Xue Sixu answered.

"That's because they fell and injured two of them." Hou Yongsheng was unwilling: "Instead, they gave them a large number of weapons and ammunition for nothing."

"There's no place to reason." Li Mingyang also had a look of helplessness on his face: "Who would have thought that there are Japanese who can't fight? I heard that the Sato Regiment had a stalemate with the Fourth Route Army for several days. Attacking, but openly laying the groundwork for rebellion on the ground, not taking war seriously at all, I can't figure it out."

Xue Sixu couldn't help but glanced at Meng Shaoyuan.

This person is really a god, he can figure out the intelligence of a Japanese so clearly.

"Forget it, forget it, this is also God's will." Han Deqin won the battle, and he was in a good mood: "You have all considered everything, but you have not counted a group of useless Japanese soldiers. Anyone, anyone Unexpectedly. I will talk about this matter slowly later, today is a celebration wine, don't talk about unhappy things."

After finishing speaking, he said to Meng Shaoyuan: "Brother Meng, you are a talent. As for me, I want you to stay in northern Jiangsu and be my right-hand man, but Director Dai will definitely not let you go. Brother Meng is here Subei will hang around for a few more days. Well, although you have two beauties with you, there are also more beauties in my Subei land, and brother Meng will definitely be able to find a suitable one."

As soon as these words came out, the whole table burst into laughter.

Meng Shaoyuan was embarrassed, why did his reputation of being lecherous spread to northern Jiangsu?

"Brother Meng, don't pay attention to Chairman Han, he's just teasing you." Li Mingyang also called "Brother Meng": "But it's true to spend a few days in northern Jiangsu, it's a good place in northern Jiangsu."

"I think so too, but I can't." Meng Shaoyuan sighed: "I've been away from Shanghai for a long time this time, and I don't know what's going on there. My brother has a lot of tasks on his shoulders, so I really don't dare to stay longer. I plan to go back tomorrow?"

"So urgent? We haven't fulfilled the friendship of the landlord." Han Deqin frowned: "However, Brother Meng has a heavy responsibility, and Shanghai really cannot do without you. How about this, we will recover several places in Yancheng this time, A large amount of supplies has been seized, and your brother also has guerrillas in northern Jiangsu and southern Jiangsu, so we send you a batch, which can be regarded as thanks to you."

"Then I will not be polite." Meng Shaoyuan did not refuse: "If you are free to come to Shanghai in the future, please be sure to let me know. Meng Shaoyuan will definitely entertain you."

Xue Sixu said slowly: "Although the distribution of materials this time was not completely in accordance with Chief Li's request, we finally achieved a great victory in northern Jiangsu with the help of this batch of materials. I can easily explain to Chief Li. Everyone, I will leave tomorrow. , Borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, I offer you a cup, the mountains are high and the roads are far away, there is always time to meet."

Satisfied, Han Deqin raised his cup politely: "Director Xue, please tell me if you have something to do in the future."

Xue Sixu drank a glass and poured it again: "I will toast Observer Meng alone with this glass of wine. I have seen Observer Meng's ability with my own eyes. I think our friends can continue to make friends."

The meaning of his words can only be understood by himself and Meng Shaoyuan.

Meng Shaoyuan smiled bitterly in his heart: "Thank you, thank you. As a person, I have long said that I like to make friends, but when it comes to making friends, I will not do things that lose my head. There is no way. I am greedy for life and afraid of death."

There was another burst of laughter, but no one took this seriously.

After Meng Shaoyuan finished speaking, he sighed and drank the glass of wine!
