Chapter 604 The name of the leader shocked North China
Jize County, broken?
The ten counties in the eastern part of Handan have been declared over.
In this battle, the Eighth Route Army won the final victory.
After the news spread, the whole of North China was shocked.
The Second War Zone Chief Office.
"This is true and false!"
"It's definitely not fake. All the photos taken by the Military Control Commission have been reported. Can the dead bodies on that place be fake?"
"This battle is so fucking beautiful!"
"Yes, if we had known we would have acted with the Eighth Route Army, and it would not have been theirs!"
The number of officers from the Second War Zone Chief Officer was shocked.
The war zone chief Yan Xishan, however, had no expression on his face, and no one could see through his complicated thoughts at the moment.

Eighth Route Army Headquarters.
"Okay, okay, this kid Ouyang must do it!"
"That's right! When I first saw this boy, I saw that this boy was the master of a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace. Look, how long has it been just been demoted, and I have just pulled up another loud anti-Japanese team!"
"The impact of this battle is unprecedented and huge, and it severely hit the Japanese's arrogance!"
"Yes, this battle wiped out nearly 6 ooo Japanese and puppet troops!"
"Good guy, I'm thinking about this guy Ouyang, I'm going to have money again this time!"
"The supplies from ten counties should be amazing!"
"Our regiment just captured Qushan County a month ago and seized a total of the weapons and equipment of the regiment. Good guy, I almost killed me, but this time Ouyang and the others captured ten counties! That guy, can this weapon and equipment be less? I think at least there must be a division's weapons and equipment!"

In a blink of an eye, more than a day passed,
March 18, 1939, at 3 pm.
Tianjin.
Japanese North China Front Command.
The first conference room of the headquarters, which was so large that it could accommodate hundreds of people, was now full of Japanese officers.
The lowest ranks are the Grand Secretary. As for the Central Master and Grand Secretary, there are so many generals.
Commander-in-chief of the Japanese North China: General Sugiyama Moto (after the Japanese surrendered, he committed suicide for fear of crime);
Chief of General Staff: Lieutenant General Yamashita Tomomi (later served as the general of the 6th Japanese Army and was sentenced to hang in 1946);
Deputy Chief of Staff: Colonel Muto Akira (later served as Lieutenant General of the 6th Japanese Army, and one of the seven Class A war criminals who were hanged in Tokyo);
Commander of the First Japanese Army: Mijiro Umezu (later served as commander-in-chief of the Japanese Kanto Army, with the rank of general, and Class A war criminal).
In addition to these big figures, the division leaders of the main divisions of the Japanese Army in North China also attended the meeting.
The Japanese 6th Division, 14th Division, 2oth Division, 1oth Division, 16th Division, 1o8th Division, 1o9th Division, 1o5th Division, 110th Division, 47th Division, and lieutenant general division commanders of the 118th Division stationed in Mongolia were all present.
This gathering of people represents the arrival of more than 280,000 Japanese troops in the North China Front.
For a time, the entire No. 1 conference room gathered starry sky, gathering all the top forces of the Japanese Front in North China.
At this moment, more than a hundred Japanese officers were extremely serious and focused their attention on the rostrum, looking at General Sugiyama Moto, the commander-in-chief of the Japanese Army in North China.
Commander Sugiyama Moto said in a deep voice: "Everyone, I believe many people have already known the purpose of coming here today."
"That's right!"
"This rally is to completely eliminate the resistance forces in North China, especially the increasingly rampant Eighth Route Army!"
It is sonorous and powerful, and every word is like a thunderclap!
Eliminate the Eighth Route Army?
The just-concluded battles in the ten eastern counties of Handan caused great losses to the Japanese front in North China.
Commander General Sugiyama said in a deep voice: "In the ten counties in the eastern part of Handan, our army dispatched a total of more than 17,000 infantry and cavalry troops, and a flying brigade. The 129th Division and 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army all invested only more than 15,000 troops.
The troops and material resources our army invested far better than the Eighth Route Army, and the combat effectiveness of our army was beyond the reach of the Eighth Route Army.
But even so, what is the final result?
I failed invincible and defeated the Japanese Imperial Army!
All the ten counties in the eastern part of Handan were swept by the Eighth Route Army, a large number of imperial warriors were broken, and countless weapons, equipment and military supplies were completely lost!”
Commander General Sugiyama Moto said hideously: "This battle not only caused more than 55oo imperial warriors to be broken, but also had three or four thousand imperial warriors who are still lying in the hospital to lick their wounds. This battle caused all the face of our Japanese Imperial Army and shamed His Majesty the Emperor!"
After the words came, hundreds of Japanese officers present were all silent.
Everyone's face was filled with shame, anger, unwillingness, humiliation and other expressions.
Among them, the most prominent Japanese officers, such as Lieutenant General Yamashita Tomoki, commander of the First Army, Lieutenant General Miji Umezu, clenched his fists tightly, his eyes burst out, and his teeth were clenched.
Both of them were like a volcano that was about to squirt, ready to go.
The Japanese officers were angry and deeply disgraced!
The failure of the battle in the ten eastern counties of Handan brought shame to all Japanese officers.
Commander General Sugiyama Moto shouted: "Based on the failure of our army's battle, it is more powerfully proved that the public security rectification plan that our great Japanese Imperial Army had implemented in the Northeast is necessary and very urgent.
Therefore, I decided that the public security rectification plan formulated by our Japanese North China Front Army will be officially implemented in the near future. The scope of its combat includes Hebei, Shanxi, Shandong, Henan, Suiyuan, Chahar, Jiangsu, Anhui, Hubei, and the entire North China region. It vows to cut off all the anti-Japanese forces in North China!
Especially the rampant Eighth Route Army, it is the top priority in our battle. We use the blood of the enemy to wash away the shame of our great Japanese Imperial Army!”
Avenge your previous shame!
The plan to rectify public security in North China will be implemented soon!
The combat scope covers the entire North China region!
The meeting continued, and the Japanese officers present were full of fighting spirit and eager to start the battle and wash away their shame.
Especially Lieutenant General Kimura Yoshihide, the commander of the 11th Division of the Japanese Army, was even more angry and wanted to join the battle immediately.
You should know that the entire Handan area is the defense area of his 11o division.
Even though he led his troops to leave Handan and went to Hebei to assemble and did not personally command the battle, the teams involved in the battle were still their own troops.
In the defeat of the battle in the ten eastern counties of Handan, Yoshio Kimura, as the commander of the division, had an unshirkable responsibility.
"The Eighth Route Army's Dragon Leading Guerrillas, I must annihilate you all, otherwise it will be difficult to eliminate my hatred!"
Division commander Yoshio Kimura gritted his teeth and said.
After the meeting, who were more than 100 Japanese officers present, and who did not know the name of the Dragon Head Guerrillas?
At first, everyone was wondering why a small guerrilla team could make such a big noise?
But when everyone knew the name of the commander of the dragon head guerrillas, everyone understood it.
Ouyang!
Former Brigade Commander of the 512th Brigade of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army!
In the Battle of Lanfeng, the Battle of Fairy Lake, the Battle of Luokouling, and the Battle of Guangzhou, the 512th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army has long been famous in China. When any Japanese officer or soldier mentioned the 512th Brigade, he was not so angry that he wanted to swallow it alive.
After the meeting, many Japanese officers made statements on the spot.
"If I encounter the dragon-headed guerrillas in the next battle, I will definitely annihilate them all!"
"The reputation of my great Japanese Imperial Army cannot be defiled at all!"
"Swear to destroy Ouyang!"
"Eliminate the leading guerrillas!"
From now on, the reputation of the leading guerrillas has been awe-inspiring in North China!
One day, it will ride the wind and make all the Japanese soldiers frightened!
The battles in the ten counties in the eastern part of Handan are just the beginning!
Chapter completed!
