At 11 o'clock in the evening, the night was solemn, like a huge net, shrouding the entire land of North China, and the darkness that could not be seen in the five fingers made people's hearts feel a trace of panic, and even the strange smell in the air, which made people worry. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The moon was hidden in the dark oppressive clouds, and a few flickering stars occasionally twinkled above the canopy, as if they were struggling to sway the starlight, trying to penetrate the darkness, but everything was so powerless.

The whole world fell into a deep darkness.

Jinan, Shandong.

At this moment, the commander of the 2nd Army of the Japanese Army received an order from the North China Front of the Japanese Army.

"Now that Handan, the only remaining place in Hebei, has also started to sweep, no matter how the 110th Division and the 512th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army win or lose, the sweep in Shandong can be started!"

That night, after receiving the order, the commander of the 2nd Army of the Japanese Army immediately convened the officers of the headquarters for a meeting.

The content of this is nothing more than to re-determine, and the fighting in Shandong will break out first at those points, so as to completely wipe out the anti-Japanese forces in Shandong.

The Japanese army in Shandong alone had no less than 100,000 troops, making it the largest number of Japanese troops in the entire North China province.

The four divisions under its jurisdiction are the 10th, 16th, 32nd, and 108th divisions.

The commander of the Japanese 2nd Army, Toyotomi Imajima Go, said in a deep voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, the law and order of the entire Hebei Province has been completed, and the imperial army in Shandong, following the orders of General Sugiyama Yuan, as the second province in North China to start sweeping, will launch an attack on the Chinese army in Shandong at 7 a.m. the day after tomorrow!" ”

Suddenly, all the Japanese officers present became excited.

"Roar!"

"It's finally time for my 2nd Army to make a contribution!"

"For the sake of the Empire's holy war, this time we are bound to completely annihilate the Chinese army in Shandong!"

The law and order rectification plan is a major action they have been waiting for for a long time.

They invaded China on a large scale for the sake of killing and conquering.

North China included Hebei, Shanxi, Shandong, Henan and other provinces, and the law and order rectification carried out by the Japanese army could not be ignited at the same time, but were carried out one after another.

Hebei's beacon fire was completely burned to the highest point, and Shandong followed in the future.

When Shandong is full of beacon fires, the battles in Shanxi, Henan, northern Anhui, northern Jiangsu, southern Inner Mongolia and other regions will also start!

Commander Toyotomi Imajima Wu glanced at the excited crowd and said with a solemn expression: "Ladies and gentlemen, this time, because the leading guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army are hidden in the Taishan Mountains and are beyond our control, our sweeping plan will also be changed.

Originally, the first step in our plan was to start a sweep in Liaocheng and Tai'an, but now there is the uncertain factor of the leading guerrillas, so I decided that our army in Liaocheng and Tai'an is not suitable for a large-scale sweep for the time being, and will start fighting in Zibo and Dezhou first! ”

"Hey!"

All the Japanese soldiers present cheered in unison.

In everyone's eyes, there was a cold glow, and there was a resentment.

Although the leading guerrillas have few troops, they occupy the Taishan Mountains, and they are like a fish in the throat for the Japanese army.

The leading guerrillas hidden in the mountains can take advantage of the terrain to launch surprise attacks on the Japanese troops in Tai'an, Liaocheng and other places at any time, which makes people unable to guard against it and have a headache.

On the other hand, the Japanese army had no way to deal with them.

Therefore, the Japanese troops in Liaocheng and Tai'an could not move lightly.

This is also the reason why Ouyang led his troops to hide in Mount Tai, to restrain the strength of the Japanese army to the greatest extent!

With a crowd of 2,000 people, clamp down on two Japanese divisions!

~~~~~

Shandong, Liaocheng.

Headquarters of the 32nd Division of the Japanese Army.

"Yaga!"

The commander of the Japanese division, Kimura Hyotaro, said fiercely: "If it weren't for the matter of the leading guerrillas, this sweep of my 32nd Division would definitely shine and make meritorious contributions, where would it be like now, with a division of nearly 20,000 troops, to guard against a small guerrilla force of his Eighth Route Army, hateful, really hateful!" ”

The Japanese soldiers in the Tai'an area were also angry one by one.

"The dragon guerrillas hiding in the Taishan Mountains are really hateful."

"We can't destroy them, they can attack us at any time, it's despicable!"

~~~~~~

At the same time.

Leading guerrillas.

Ouyang convened the commanders and fighters of all the departments under his command overnight for a meeting.

Chief of Staff Jiang Dengxuan, First Battalion Commander Yang Liqing, Second Battalion Commander Xiao Zhuang, Third Battalion Commander Ruinian and others were all absent.

"First, tonight is a critical moment to decide the future direction of the 512th Brigade and the 110th Division of the Japanese Army."

"If the 512 Brigade can't rescue the hundreds of civilians who were coerced tonight, then it will be subject to the Japanese army everywhere, even if it has the advantage of terrain and terrain, it will be useless in the face of the Japanese army, then our plan to counterattack Handan will also be in vain!"

"Second, the entire Hebei has been completely turned into a pot of porridge, so according to the information we have obtained before, as well as our speculation, the Japanese army in Shandong will also attack in the next few days."

"Between me, the Japanese troops in Liaocheng and Tai'an, because of the existence of the leading guerrillas, will not dare to act rashly and sweep in a big way, which is beneficial to the overall anti-Japanese situation in Shandong, but it is very unfavorable to our plan to counterattack Handan!"

After Ouyang's words were spoken, the entire conference room fell into a dead silence.

If the 512th Brigade is defeated, then it is simply wishful thinking to attack Handan with the strength of 2,000 leading guerrillas.

At the same time, if the Japanese troops in Tai'an and Liaocheng did not move, then the leading guerrillas would not dare to leave the Taishan Mountains and go to Handan, after all, they would not be able to fight at all!

Chief of Staff Jiang Dengxuan said in a deep voice: "Let's not care if the Japanese troops in Tai'an and Liaocheng move or not, the primary premise is that the 512 Brigade successfully completes the rescue mission, otherwise everything is empty talk!" ”

"Hmm!" Ouyang nodded heavily.

Yang Liqing, the commander of the first battalion, said with a solemn expression: "Yes, if the 512 Brigade can't save the people tonight, we will completely lose the possibility of attacking Handan!" ”

The commander of the third battalion, Rui Nian, sighed: "Although you believe in the strength of the 512 Brigade, commander, but judging from the current situation, it is quite difficult for them to rescue the people who were coerced from the Japanese army, and this battle is not easy!" ”

At that moment, the other people present also nodded.

Everyone knows that if the 512 Brigade can't rescue the people tonight, then everything is empty talk.

The counterattack of the leading guerrillas on Handan is just a joke!

~~~~~

Handan, Hebei, Shexian County.

Brigade Commander Liu Tongluo, Political Commissar Zhao Gang, and Chief of Staff Wang Yaqiao all stood on the castle tower of the county seat, using binoculars to look at the Japanese army more than ten miles away.

-- Camp of the Japanese Eguchi Wing.

Liu Tongluo said awe-inspiringly: "Whether we can complete the next plan depends on tonight, I believe that the Wolf Warrior Squadron will not let us down!" ”

Zhao Gang said in a deep voice: "Tonight's operation must only succeed, not fail, otherwise we are afraid that even the county seat of Shexian County will be lost!" ”

Tonight is a crucial battle that will determine the direction of the future battle!
