512 Brigade Brigade Headquarters Command Post. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Wang Yaqiao said in a deep voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, all the battles now have reached the most critical moment, whether this battle can be successful or not is not only a matter of Handan City, but a major issue related to the trend of the entire Hebei war situation, and even the sweep of the Japanese army in the entire North China region. ”
The Battle of Handan City has attracted the attention of the whole of North China.
In just a few hours, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army has sent five messages in a row!
"The chief of staff is right, now in the Shexian area, our 512 Brigade has severely damaged the 110th Division of the Japanese Army, and has restricted it to the greatest extent, just to ensure that the leading detachment can take advantage of the situation to break through Handan City and cause changes in the entire Hebei war situation."
Liu Tongluo echoed: "But now there is one of the most important problems in front of us, that is, whether we can break through Handan City!" ”
"Hmm!"
Ouyang nodded heavily.
The whole person's mind was all fixed on the map of Handan in front of him.
The battle has been carried out to the point where it is no longer a problem of the 110th Division of the Japanese Army and the 14th Garrison Brigade of the Japanese Army.
As the Longtou detachment approached the city of Handan, the Japanese 110th Division was blocked, causing a strong backlash from the Japanese army in North China.
The Japanese front army urgently telegraphed the order, and the Japanese troops in Xingtai, Hengshui, Shijiazhuang and other places quickly increased their troops in Handan City.
Political Commissar Zhao Gang said with a solemn face: "According to the latest intelligence, the Japanese troops currently pouring into Handan City are no less than 3 reinforcements, with more than 10,000 troops.
And in the next 24 hours, the strength of the Japanese army will increase again, and it is judged that this number will definitely not be less than 20,000! ”
20,000 Japanese troops!
"Shhh
At this moment, Ouyang, Liu Tongluo, and Wang Yaqiao all gasped.
"In other words, we must capture Handan City within 24 hours!" Liu Tongluo said.
"No!"
Ouyang said in a deep voice: "The time left for us by the Japanese army will definitely not be that long, 12 hours at most. Within 12 hours, Handan City must be taken! ”
As soon as Ouyang spoke, he directly shortened the time by half.
At first, Liu Tongluo wanted to refute, but after Chief of Staff Wang Yaqiao handed him the latest telegram, Liu Tongluo kept silent.
"The 129th Brigade and 386th Brigade of the 386th Division of our Eighth Route Army intercepted several Japanese reinforcements, although our army stubbornly resisted, but there was 1 Japanese army, which had broken through the interception and was rushing to come."
Wang Yaqiao said coldly: "Although some of the guerrillas of our Eighth Route Army are still trying their best to resist the Japanese army, the results are not great. ”
After a pause, he said: "You come here, Jiaolongling!" The only Japanese army that broke through the many obstacles of our army, a whole wing, with a strength of more than 3,500 people, is storming here, and our Eighth Route Army, which is responsible for interception, has less than 600 people! ”
600 people to intercept a Japanese wing?
At the moment, the hearts of Ouyang and the others sank even more!
Although the current Longtou detachment is already under the city of Handan, there is only the last outer defense line of the Japanese army, but it is precisely this defense line that is extremely difficult to shake!
This last line of defense is Taiji Town, which is the defense line of Handan City, known as the "copper wall and iron wall". It's hard to break through this line of defense.
The dragon detachment is strong, but the number of troops is still too small!
"Don't say 2,500 people, that is, more than 3,000 people from one regiment of our 512 Brigade will attack with all their might, and it will definitely be impossible to break through without 12 hours, not to mention that the time left by the Japanese army for us may be shorter!" Zhao Gang said.
The development of the battle situation has reached the most critical moment!
The strength of the 110th Division of the Japanese Army and the 14th Garrison Brigade of the Japanese Army in Shexian County was not worried. The 512 Brigade has already bitten them with great strength, and at least for 24 hours, there will be no problems.
But the problem is precisely the Japanese reinforcements all over Hebei!
Especially Jiaolongling!
The only Japanese wing to break through the blockade.
How difficult it was for a guerrilla unit of more than 600 people of our Eighth Route Army to intercept a well-equipped Japanese wing.
"Do you know the number and commander of this Japanese wing?" Ouyang immediately asked.
At this moment, Ouyang was really surprised, when all units of our Eighth Route Army were trying their best to intercept Japanese reinforcements and fully support the Battle of Handan, a Japanese wing broke through the heavy resistance of our army and arrived at Jiaolongling.
This kind of combat power is simply terrifying!
This wing must be the elite of the Japanese army.
The commander of this wing is certainly not an ordinary person.
"The 6th Wing of the 23rd Division of the Japanese Army!"
Wang Yaqiao opened his mouth, and his face was full of coldness between his words.
As soon as these words came out, Ouyang was immediately shocked.
"Impossible! The main force of the 6th Division of the Little Devils, one in Hangzhou Bay and the other in Wuhan, how could a wing suddenly appear in Hebei, and it was the 23rd Wing with extremely strong combat effectiveness. ”
Ouyang was really shocked!
The 6th Division of the Japanese Army, in this era, was really prestigious, its fighting style was quite fierce, and the division was also one of the main culprits of the Nanjing Massacre.
At the beginning of the all-out War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in 1937, the 6th Division plundered North China, killing more than 9,000 Chinese comrades in Baoding and Zhengding alone!
There are many crimes, and they are stained with the blood of countless Chinese comrades.
Among them, this 23rd Wing is the most ferocious!
Ouyang never expected that this 23rd Wing would suddenly appear in Hebei.
Wang Yaqiao sighed, "Old chief, it's no wonder you don't know, even I just learned about it." This time, the Japanese army was quite cautious in its secrecy work! ”
The 23rd Wing of the Japanese Army, Ouyang and Wang Yaqiao, had fought with them when they were in Shanghai, and they knew that this wing was strong and terrifying.
It is no exaggeration to say that in terms of the combat effectiveness of one wing alone, the 23rd Wing of the Japanese Army is enough to rank in the top three in the entire Japanese military system!
Any regiment of the 512th Brigade will definitely lose when it fights with the 23rd Wing of the Japanese Army!
"Who is the commander of this wing now?"
Ouyang had to ask, although the 23rd Wing of the Japanese Army was strong, if it did not have an excellent commander, it would be absolutely impossible to break through the layers of blockade of our Eighth Route Army in such a short time.
Whether a team is strong or not, its commander also occupies an extremely important position.
Wang Yaqiao said coldly: "Ushishima is full! ”
Mitsuru Ushijima?
Former brigade commander of the 6th Brigade of the 36th Division of the Japanese Army!
At the end of 1938, when Ouyang and Wang Yaqiao made a big event in Shanghai, it was Ushijima Man's troops stationed in Shanghai, but fortunately, Ouyang had a golden weapon card in his hand at that time, and promptly summoned the four major armies, Thor Commando, Steel Seventh Company, Special First Battalion, and Iron Fist Regiment, which was difficult to block Ushishima Man.
Due to Ushijima's defeat in this battle, he was demoted from the position of brigade commander to wing commander. But his personal ability, especially his military command ability, is quite strong!
The future general of the Japanese army!
In the Battle of Okinawa in 1945, Ushijima led his troops to fight against the U.S. Army, fought fiercely for a month, buried 65,000 U.S. soldiers in one fell swoop, and was praised as "the best tactician during World War II" by the Japanese ~ side.
Commander-in-Chief of the U.S. Pacific Fleet, Chester. Admiral Nimitz also praised: Ushijima Mitsumi and Tanaka Yorizo were the most difficult Japanese commanders he encountered in the Pacific Campaign.
"Damn, I don't want this person to come to Hebei too!"
Ouyang said coldly: "In this way, our army will definitely not be able to stop the more than 600 soldiers who intercept them!" ”
Liu Tongluo added: "This is not the worst, now the interception of the 23rd Wing of the Japanese Army in Jiaolongling is just a poorly equipped guerrilla force!" ”
Guerilla?
Hearing this, the hearts of Ouyang and the others immediately cooled by half.
A guerrilla unit had to intercept an elite wing of the Japanese army for more than 12 hours, which was terrifying to think about.
Unable to intercept this Japanese reinforcement, the leading detachment did not have enough time to break through Handan City.
If you can't take Handan City, then the trend of the whole battle will be reversed!
12 hours!
Ouyang gritted his teeth and said, "Chief of Staff, is it the guerrilla force of our army?" ”
"Snow Peak Guerrillas!" Wang Yaqiao replied.
Suddenly, two people appeared in Ouyang's mind.
Chen Dalei and the third battalion commander from the TV series "My Brother is Shunyu".
Chen Dalei, commander of the Xuefeng guerrillas.
