May 15, 1939, 2 a.m. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

With the outbreak of the Battle of Handan, the numbers of the teams participating in the war between China and Japan were all put on the bright side, and both sides knew the roots.

Such a large-scale battle was suddenly detonated, so the number of the teams that the two sides put into battle could not be concealed at all, and there was no need to conceal it.

Only by recapturing Handan City in a short period of time could the Japanese army ensure its unshakable position in North China;

And our army can only crush this huge battle by striking a heavy blow to the Japanese army and holding on to Handan City for several days.

Part of the 512th Brigade, as well as the Longtou Detachment, also moved to Handan City at 10 p.m. on May 14. At 2 o'clock in the morning, Ouyang, Wang Yaqiao, Liu Tongluo, Zhao Gang, Jiang Dengxuan, Li Dakang and others were still discussing strategies to resist the enemy.

And the soldiers are also rushing to repair the fortifications everywhere.

"Ladies and gentlemen, in addition to the three-way strength of the 23rd Wing of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army at the beginning, there are now a 109th Division of the Japanese Army, a Chongguang Detachment of the 47th Division of the Japanese Army, a 6th Garrison Brigade of the Japanese Army, and a 32nd Division of the Japanese Army, with a total strength of roughly 50,000 people."

Political commissar Zhao Gang read out all the information, and although Ouyang and the others had been mentally prepared, they were still extremely frightened.

The city of Handan was destroyed, and everyone expected that the Japanese army would come on a large scale, but they did not expect that the Japanese army would come to help with 50,000 troops.

In fact, Ouyang didn't know that the Japanese army was scared.

In the battle of Tai'an, the Japanese army was careless because of the enemy, which finally led to the collapse of the Shandong war. This time, the Japanese army did not dare to take it lightly, so they dispatched 50,000 people to come in one fell swoop, hoping to form a devastating situation and decide the battle in one battle!

Liu Tongluo: "The little devil is menacing, it's not easy to deal with!" ”

Jiang Dengxuan: "It is indeed a hard bone, and it is unprecedentedly hard!" ”

Li Dakang: "No matter how hard it is, we have to crush them, because we have no way out." ”

The difficulty of this battle will be the most serious crisis encountered by the 512th Brigade and the Longtou Detachment, and it is also a level beyond the two battles of Guangzhou and Wuhan.

Ouyang said in a deep voice: "This time, the troops invested by our Eighth Route Army and the National Army are not a few, and they are all first-class elites, but compared with the Japanese army this time, we can overwhelm them in terms of strength, but the combat effectiveness and other aspects are too much worse." ”

"Hmm!"

Hearing this, Liu Tongluo and the others all nodded yes.

The enemy that the Japanese army came to attack this time is indeed extremely powerful!

For a while, the atmosphere in the entire command post became extremely solemn, and everyone continued to discuss, and several maps alone were scrapped.

For a few hours, although Ouyang and the others did not formulate the most perfect set of countermeasures, they finally reached a consensus on one point!

-- Our army lacks great depth!

The 512th Brigade and the Longtou Detachment, although they have now captured Handan City and several surrounding counties, have good fortifications, but their shortcomings are obvious, that is, they do not have great depth and lack of huge space for movement.

Once the Japanese soldiers come to the city, then our army that is surrounded will have only one way to destroy the whole army, and there is no second way.

"Therefore, the key to whether we can win this battle is to expand the depth!"

"Handan City and the surrounding counties alone cannot meet our operational needs."

"Therefore, at the moment, we must take advantage of the fact that the Japanese army has not yet arrived, and immediately seize the entire territory of Handan!"

Ouyang kept talking to the map.

During the meeting, Zhou Weiguo, Jiang Daya, Li Yunlong, Long Dagu and others also kept coming news.

The news said: The small units of the large Japanese army have begun to infiltrate!

The infiltration of small units is a consistent tradition of the Japanese army's large corps operations, and it is an extremely excellent military operation.

But this time, the so-called elite of the Japanese army met an opponent!

Wolf Squadron and Wolf Tooth Brigade!

They were scattered around the city of Handan, and once they found a small force of Japanese troops, there was only one result.

No mercy!

In just one night, the number of Japanese troops annihilated by the Wolf Warrior Squadron and the Wolf Tooth Brigade exceeded 200.

200 people seem inconspicuous, but these more than 200 Japanese soldiers are all elite!

Not an elite, simply not able to take on such a task!

With the pressure of the great war coming, the warriors are all full of energy, just waiting to let go and do a big job.

As for the 110th Division of the Japanese Army, to be honest, with the current strength of the 512th Brigade, I really didn't take them to heart.

Only one Li Yunlong's 887th Regiment was dispatched to hold Wu'an County, which made the remaining 8,000 people of the 110th Division of the Japanese Army helpless.

The 110th Division of the Japanese Army was cut off from the rear and fought with our army for several days, and its supplies and ammunition were already scarce.

Now, if Ouyang and the others were not to deal with the 50,000 Japanese troops, they would definitely have to wipe out the 110th Division of the Japanese army, but now it is an impossible task.

"The little devils of the 110th Division are now a bunch of lost dogs, and I don't want to beat them!"

Li Yunlong laughed and said: "You guys just look at it, as long as our 887 regiment is here this time, it is guaranteed that none of the little devils of the 110th division will survive!" ”

Hearing this, Monk Wei, Zhang Dabiao, Song Xueyi, Ge Zhenlin and others all laughed.

After several days of fighting, the fighting spirit of the 110th Division of the Japanese Army has been completely defeated.

~~~~~~

In the blink of an eye, two days have passed.

In two days, more than 80,000 troops from various units of the Chinese army and more than 50,000 Japanese troops came to their aid, and they started one major battle after another.

The fierce battle of Laofengpo, the battle of Xianggan Town, the battle of Jiaolongling, etc., there were no less than 30 battles of all sizes. The artillery fire did not stop for almost a moment, and the blood and life seemed so fragile and vulnerable in a battle of this scale.

In two days, thanks to the reinforcements of the Eighth Route Army and the First and Second Theaters of the National Army, the battle was extremely difficult, but the soldiers fought bravely and withstood the Japanese offensive. Although the strength of the Japanese army is strong and has excellent commanders such as Ushijima to participate in the war, our Chinese army is not bad, such as Sun Lianzhong, Sun Weiru and other national army generals.

For a time, the battle situation formed a stalemate.

Neither side can further establish the victory!

Wang Yaqiao showed a hint of a smile: "Old chief, although the current situation is not as good as we expected, it can't be better, as long as we fight for two to three more days, then the victory will be ours!" ”

"Hmm!"

Ouyang nodded heavily and laughed as well.

This battle of our army is not to annihilate the 50,000 people attacked by the Japanese army, but to delay time, and the longer the time drags on, the more passive the Japanese army becomes, and its sweep in North China will directly go bankrupt.

"Hey~~~~!"

Ouyang sighed: "I just hope that in the last two days, there will be no more accidents, otherwise once the balance is broken, then something big may happen!" ”

"Oh?"

Wang Yaqiao frowned and said, "You mean the 110th Division of the Japanese Army that has been disabled by us?" ”

After saying this, Wang Yaqiao shook his head again.

The 110th Division of the Japanese Army has been crippled, what is there to be afraid of?

If the soldiers have no will to fight, they will have no will to fight.

"Old chief, the 110th division of the little devil, we don't have to worry about it, besides, Li Yunlong and his regiment will guard the fortress and pass, and they will definitely ensure that everything is fine."

~~~~~~~

Shexian County.

Headquarters of the 110th Division of the Japanese Army.

The headquarters of the Japanese army is located in the county seat of Shexian County, which is now in dilapidation after many days of fighting.

At the beginning, Ouyang and others attacked Shexian, but they didn't spare the slightest. "Destroy a county, and build a new county!"

At this moment, the city of Shexian is full of ruins and rubble.

In a freshly cleared open space in front of the Japanese headquarters, division commander Yoshio Kimura knelt on the ground, and in front of him lay a small tray on which were placed two small objects, a short knife and a flute.

It was surrounded by a group of Japanese officers, and their faces were all full of sadness.

Hiromoto Toyoda and Katsuo Edano also stood aside, looking closely at Yoshio Kimura, who was kneeling on the ground.

Yoshio Kimura was about to cut his stomach, but before he died, his face did not have the slightest nervousness and fear, only calmness.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you are the warriors of the Empire, you don't need to grieve for me!"

"Seppuku is the glory of my great Japanese soldiers!"

"Today's predicament of my 110th Division is entirely caused by the arrogance of my Kimura Yoshio, and it is already my greatest luck that His Excellency the Commander can allow me to end myself as a samurai and a soldier."

"I believe that under the leadership of Hiromoto-kun, my 110th Division will be able to break the current predicament and reinvigorate the prestige of my 110th Division!"

After saying that, the division commander Yoshio Kimura committed suicide, and the white cloth under his body was stained red with blood.

As for the new division commander, he was taken over by Hiromoto Todai!

When the soldiers wanted to collect Kimura Yoshio's body, they were stopped by Hiromoto Toyota.

"Wait a minute!"

Hiromoto Toyoda spoke, and then slowly walked over to Yoshio Kimura's corpse, looking condescendingly at Yoshio Kimura with his head drooping.

"Kimura-kun, although you are a fool, but I still want to thank you, without your stupidity, if I want to serve as the commander of the division, it will take at least a few years, even if I am only acting now, but don't worry, I will take Ouyang's head, and the blood of the entire 512 Brigade and all the Eighth Route Army, to give you a funeral."

The second update.
