Chapter 735: Soldiers Coming to the City
Beginning at 11 a.m. on May 18, 1939, the 110th Division of the Japanese Army began to march towards Handan City with all its might. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the face of the menacing Japanese army, Ouyang decisively ordered our army to set up a number of roadblocks and sniper points along the way, in order to slow down the speed of the Japanese attack and provide valuable time for our army to build a new military defense line.
But finally!
All ended in failure.
The hundreds of people sent only stopped the Japanese army from marching for only one hour.
The soldiers of the 110th Division of the Japanese Army are too strong!
"In fact, it is not that the combat effectiveness of our Imperial Japanese Army has increased greatly, but that the strength of the Eighth Route Army has greatly decreased!"
Hiromoto Toyoda laughed and said: "They have been fighting for a month, and they have not stopped for almost a moment, and the spirit and physical strength of their soldiers have long been on the verge of collapse, and it is already a miracle to fight fiercely for a month!" ”
"Speaking from the heart, I admire them!"
"But because I admire them, I'm going to kill someone this time!"
Immediately, the Japanese army swept away many roadblocks and blockades of our army in a row, and finally at noon, the troops came to the city of Handan! The black pressure of the army column unfolded, and the Japanese army of more than 7,000 people suddenly gave people a huge pressure of the mountain roaring and tsunami and the tiger and wolf descending the mountain.
The battle is in its final battle!
Whichever side of Handan City is in the hands of the side will occupy the initiative in the battle.
"Pass my order, the team will stop attacking and rest!"
An order from Hiromoto Toyota immediately made many Japanese officers and soldiers incomprehensible.
"Huh!"
Hiromoto Toyota waved his hand: "The enemy is a tired division, as the so-called siege of the city is the bottom, the attack of the heart is the top, this time we are resting under the city, it is bound to give the enemy huge psychological pressure!" ”
In an instant, the Japanese officers present immediately came to their senses.
"Hehe, gentlemen, how boring it is to cut the mess with a quick knife, and the blunt knife scrapes the bones before it is hearty, hahaha!"
Hiromoto Toyota laughed, and his expression was domineering.
Hiromoto Toyota, which is in power, is full of combat power and resourcefulness.

The position of our army in Handan City.
The soldiers in the trenches looked at the black and oppressive Japanese army queue several miles away, and couldn't help but feel a strong atmosphere of war, like a hurricane, rushing towards their faces, overwhelming everyone!
From time to time, someone is nervous and keeps swallowing saliva.
Ouyang, Chu Yunfei, Liu Tongluo, Wang Yaqiao, Zhao Gang, Jiang Dengxuan, Li Dakang and others looked at the frightened looks on the faces of the soldiers, and their hearts suddenly sank.
Although the strength of our combined army is close to 2,000 people, excluding the 1,000 people of Chu Yunfei's department, the remaining hundreds of troops of the 512 Brigade and the Longtou Detachment are basically either wounded or non-combatants.
"Brother Ouyang, it's not my brother, I'm arrogant, with our current tired army, it is absolutely impossible to stop the Japanese army!"
Chu Yunfei said in a deep voice with a solemn face.
Ouyang nodded and did not answer.
"Commander, I think what Brigadier Chu said is right."
Jiang Dengxuan gritted his teeth and said: "The main problem we have now is the lack of troops; Second, the city defense of Handan City has long been dilapidated; Third, the physical strength and spirit of the fighters are on the verge of collapse, and their combat effectiveness is not one in ten. With these three problems, it is almost impossible for our army to hold Handan City! ”
Hearing Jiang Dengxuan's words, Liu Tongluo, Wang Yaqiao and others, even though they were unwilling to admit it, nodded secretly.
That's true!
"Hey~~~!"
Liu Tongluo put down the binoculars in his hand and sighed: "In fact, at the moment when Wu'an County was lost, we should have known that the entire battle situation has undergone irreversible changes, and Handan City is bound to be difficult to protect!" ”
Hearing this, Zhao Gang anxiously asked, "Then why don't we ask for help from other ministries?" I believe they should all know the importance of Handan City, and it is impossible to ignore it. ”
The importance of Handan City is now known to everyone!
If Handan City is lost, the whole world will collapse!
"Political Commissar Zhao, you take it for granted!"
Regarding Zhao Gang's words, Chu Yunfei unceremoniously refuted.
"Political Commissar Zhao, our independent brigade rushed to reinforce Handan City, which is already the greatest effort made by the 2nd Group Army of our army, after all, the main force of our 2nd Group Army is facing the Japanese army, but the elite of the 47th Division of the Japanese army, it is difficult to draw out excess troops at the moment.
Moreover, when our independent brigade went to the rescue, there were still about 3,000 people, but just after marching only 30 miles, it was surrounded and suppressed by a wing of Japanese troops, and only more than 1,500 people had to break through the encirclement.
At the same time, on this front of more than 100 kilometers, our independent brigade was repeatedly attacked by small units of the Japanese army, and again suffered more than 500 casualties, leaving only the last 1,000 people. ”
Chu Yunfei sighed and said, "My independent brigade is still like this, let alone the other teams of our army? ”
"This, this, this~~~~!"
Suddenly, Zhao Gang was speechless, and several other people around him also dispelled this idea.
Ouyang clenched his fists tightly, his heart full of unwillingness.
The national army has been unable to send troops, and the Eighth Route Army is no longer able to send troops.
The various units of the Eighth Route Army were the main force in the Battle of Handan, and they were attacked by the Japanese army, and they were also the largest.
"Troops, troops, damn not enough troops!"
Ouyang was resentful in his heart.

Somewhere in the city of Handan.
512 Brigade Field Hospital.
At this moment, the field hospital is full of noisy sounds, and the soldiers who are seriously injured and paralyzed on the beds are all making a fuss now, and the doctors and nurses can't stop them at all.
"Doctor, just let me go!"
"No, you wounded, and they are all seriously wounded, you must not leave the hospital, you will die!"
"Death is death, what are you afraid of?"
"In short, I must not be able to stay here any longer, the brothers are bleeding and dying on the front line, while I am lying in a hospital bed, what is this called, now I want to die!"
"Dean Bai, what did you say today, I also have to leave, what if my legs are blown up? Don't look down on people, I still have hands, I can fight the same! ”
"Don't stop me, I'm going to avenge my brethren, take revenge!"
The nearly 500 seriously wounded in the field hospital all made a fuss, shouting one by one that they wanted to go to the battlefield and fight devils.
As a result, the order of the scene became chaotic.
Dean Bai Jingqi, Head Nurse Tian Yu, Dr. Bethune, American Desmond, and dozens of doctors and nurses, where could they stop the bloody soldiers, even though they were all seriously wounded.
In the end, Dean Bai Jingqi was heartbroken, gritted his teeth and said: "Immediately give emergency treatment to the wounded, and then send them away and let them go to the battlefield!" ”
As soon as this remark came out, it was immediately opposed by many people, especially the rebuttal of Dr. Bethune and the American Desmond.
"Dean Bai, you are acting irresponsibly!"
"Your orders will make them die on the battlefield!"
Facing everyone's doubts, Bai Jingqi, the 60-year-old dean, suddenly turned pale and his eyes widened angrily.
"If I don't agree to them going to war now, they'll die too!" Because they are warriors, the bravest soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, they will definitely not watch others sacrifice and bleed!
Rather than let them die on the sickbed, it is better to die vigorously on the battlefield, which is the most glorious honor of my Chinese soldiers! ”
"There are no regrets about killing and killing in battle!"
Suddenly, Dr. Bethune, the American Desmond and others were all silent, and after a few seconds, they all threw themselves into intense work.
~~~~~~~
512 Brigade Cooking Company.
The cooking company grew fat Hong and shouted: "Big guy, put down the pots and pans in your hands, now is the time for us to pick up the gun!" ”
Lao Gao: "The company commander is right, we are cooks, but also soldiers!" ”
Xiao Jiang, Xiao Hu, Xiao Mao and dozens of others are also shouting to fight!
~~~~~~
512 Brigade Art Troupe.
Dozens of literary and artistic workers such as Dou Tianbao and Liang Dayuan also rushed to the front line of the battlefield.
"It is said that we eat by mouth, so today we have to correct the name of the art troupe, we are also soldiers!"
"That's right, even if we can't fight, we're going to die on the battlefield with our brethren!"
"Use our trumpets to cheer on the brethren!"
~~~~~~
Communications Company of the 512 Brigade.
"Why don't you let us go to war, just because we're women?"
"What if we are women, we are also warriors!"
"Company commander, don't look down on us women, the old chief can say that women can hold up half the sky!"
In the face of the female soldiers' requests for war, the company commander Dai Tianli can be said to be the first two big, and it is useless to talk about it.
~~~~~
Propaganda Company of the 512th Brigade.
Xiao Ya, Dai Ruobing, Dai Ruonan and others also asked to participate in the battle as representatives of female soldiers.
"I can't care so much now!"
"We are women, but also a female soldier, a soldier of the Eighth Route Army!"
"Let the little devil see the power of our female soldiers!"
The Battle of Handan, the most important offensive and defensive battle, is about to break out.
The second update.
