Handan City Japanese Army Headquarters.

At this moment, all the Japanese officers present in the Japanese army headquarters were restless, and many people even showed despair.

More than ten minutes ago, they received three counties, Guangping, Feixiang and Cheng'an, and encountered an unprecedented fierce attack by the enemy.

Many Japanese officers present immediately realized.

"We have fallen into the trap. This is the conspiracy of the Eighth Route Army!"

"The enemy was deliberately showing weakness before, and the purpose was to paralyze us!"

"Damn it, the situation is now to an extremely serious level."

The Japanese brigade commander Matsumoto Taze immediately ordered the Japanese troops stationed in Handan to dispatch 15o troops to attack Cixian and resolve the difficulties of the three counties in Guangping, Feixiang and Cheng'an.

Time passes by bit by bit, and bad news keeps coming.

"Report to the brigade commander, Guangping County is lost!"

"Fexiang County and County Town are lost!"

"Our army in Cheng'an County is broken!"

All three cities were lost, which immediately shocked all the Japanese officers present.

The fear in my heart at this moment is something that many of them have never experienced before and have never experienced before!

"Baga!"

“What should I do now?”

"What should I do!"

A Japanese colonel said angrily: "The enemy has such strong combat power, but it was hidden before. Now it has defended Dongdaemen Ci County in the eastern part of Handan. It can be imagined that the enemy's target is definitely not just the three counties in Feixiang, Guangping and Cheng'an, but it is very likely to be the entire ten counties in the eastern part of Handan!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the audience was in an uproar!

"Hiss~~~!"

All the Japanese officers took a breath.

They dare not imagine this result!

Ten counties in the eastern part of Handan!

Many of them had already noticed the conspiracy of Ouyang of the Eighth Route Army, but they never expected that our army would have such a big appetite.

A Japanese major was shocked and said, "How dare the Eighth Route Army? How dare they?"

Another Japanese officer named Zhongzhao exclaimed: "Are the Eighth Route Army crazy? Do they really dare to swallow the ten counties in the eastern part of Handan?"

For a moment, the entire brigade headquarters was filled with a huge wave of fear.

"Bang!"

The brigade commander Matsumoto Taizawa slapped the table angrily and shouted: "Shut up, I'm not going to worry about this and that, but now the top priority is to resolve the crisis in Handan.

Once the ten counties in the eastern part of Handan are all captured by the Eighth Route Army, then even if I, Matsumoto Taize and everyone here commit suicide by committing suicide, it will be difficult to atone for the crime. We will always be the laughing stock of the empire and despise the people!"

sinner!

laughing stock!

In an instant, all the Japanese officers present were as if struck by lightning, and they all woke up from fear.

Once a person is extremely frightened, he will be frightened and angry!

Endless anger!

Just like a person is scared by others, the first sentence he says must be a national curse!

The Japanese army that woke up was extremely photographable!

Japanese military brigade commander Matsumoto Taze said in a deep voice: "Now, all departments will immediately ask about the latest battle situation in Wu'an and Ci County."

"Hi!" The Japanese officers answered in unison.

Soon after, the latest battle situation between Wu'an and Ci County was presented.

"Report to the brigade commander, the Iron Bridge Fencing of our brigade is in full swing with the 885th Regiment of the 512th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army. The battle is in a stalemate and cannot annihilate the invading enemy in a short time!"

"Report to the brigade commander, the Eighth Route Army that guarded Ci County is being subjected to violent bombing by our aircraft. The two brigades of troops sent by our army are expected to take another 2 hours to arrive at the city of Ci County."

After the words came to an end, everyone present took a breath of air conditioning.

Even the brigade commander Matsumoto Tazawa's eyes turned black and he almost fainted on the ground.

The severe battle situation has already come out of their imagination!

The Japanese army's forces in various places in Handan are still quite large, which is much higher than Ouyang's Eighth Route Army.

But one thing is that it makes the Japanese army desperate!

That is, although the Japanese army has a lot of troops, its troops are too dispersed and cannot resist the fierce attack under the concentrated forces of our army.

Another thing that scares the Japanese army the most.

That is the war between Cixian and Wu'an.

If the war in Wu'an is not resolved, then the main force of the Japanese army in Handan will not be able to devote all to the battle against our army.

After all, Wu'an's iron ore is really important to the Japanese army!

The second is Ci County, a county town known as the east gate of the ten counties in the eastern part of Handan.

If Ci County cannot break through, no matter how many Japanese troops in Handan cannot rush into the war zone, then everything will be useless!

"Baga!"

The brigade commander Matsumoto Taizawa roared: "Transfer my order and immediately ask for reinforcements from my great Japanese Imperial Army in Xingtai!"

"Hi!" the Japanese adjutant replied in a panic.

Soon, the Japanese army from Xingtai sent a call back.

——A corps and a large group of Japanese troops will be dispatched, with a total of more than 45oo people from Shahe area to Jize County, and launch an attack on the Eighth Route Army!

A Japanese chief officer immediately exclaimed: "That's great, it's really great!"

The commander of the brigade, Matsumoto Taizawa, was also surprised and said: "Although Ci County was guarded by the Eighth Route Army, Jize County, the northern gate of the ten counties in the eastern part of Handan, is still in our hands.

As long as our army in Xingtai enters it, it will not only resolve the crisis in the ten eastern counties of Handan, but also implement a counter-encirclement of the Eighth Route Army and annihilate it in one fell swoop!"

For a moment, the Japanese officers present were overjoyed.

You know, they were still shocked the moment before, but their hearts were filled with excitement!

There is nothing more than joy and sorrow in life!

At this moment, a Japanese colonel officer poured a basin of cold water on everyone.

"Everyone, you are so optimistic!"

"The shortest time it takes for our army from Xingtai to arrive in Jize County from preparation to departure."

"And within these three hours, the Eighth Route Army that attacked all the counties in our provinces can still do a lot. Once our army cannot stand until the reinforcements arrive, then we will still fail in the end, not the Eighth Route Army!"

In an instant, everyone woke up as if they were dreaming. The luck and passionate blood of the previous second were instantly wiped out by this basin of cold water!

3 hours!

Another battle for time!

Excluding the battle in Wu'an County, Ci County and Jize County, the east gate and the north gate have become key points.

As long as the Japanese army breaks through any of them within 3 hours, the entire situation will be tilted towards the Japanese army, and our Eighth Route Army will fall into a passive position!

“3 hours!”

Ouyang said in a deep voice: "Our time now is only 3 hours at most. If we completely resolve the battle within these three hours, our army will be in a place of doom."

Instructor Li Dakangyan said: "That's true, this is just the Japanese reinforcements from Xingtai. Once the Japanese army in Guan County, Shandong also enters the battlefield of Handan, our situation will be more critical!"

"Yeah!" Ouyang nodded heavily.

At this moment, Ouyang's face was extremely solemn.

Within these 3 hours, our army will form a whale-eating force against the entire ten eastern counties of Handan. This is a torrent and unstoppable!

But after three hours, if the predetermined combat goal has not been completed, it will change from active to passive and fall into the heavy siege of the Japanese army.

By then, it will be absolutely doomed!
