At 11 o'clock in the evening, the night was solemn, like huge nets, covering the entire North China land. The darkness of the fingers was invisible, making people feel a little panic in their hearts, and even the strange smell in the air was so heartbreaking.

The moon hides in the dark clouds, and occasionally a few star flickering on the sky. They seem to be striving to scatter the starlight, trying hard to penetrate the darkness, but everything is so powerless.

The whole world was trapped in a deep darkness.

Jinan, Shandong.

At this moment, the commander of the 2nd Army of the Japanese Army received an order from the Japanese North China Front Army.

"Since the only place left in Handan in Hebei has also begun a sweeping process. Regardless of the victory or defeat of the 11o Division and the 512th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, the big sweeping process in Shandong can be started!"

That night, after receiving the order, the commander of the 2nd Japanese Army immediately convened the officers from the headquarters for a meeting.

The content is nothing more than to make sure that the battle will be launched in Shandong from those points to completely eliminate Shandong's anti-Japanese forces.

The Japanese army in Shandong has a force of no less than 10,000, making it the area with the largest number of Japanese troops in all provinces in North China.

The four divisions under its jurisdiction are the 10th, 16th, 32nd and 108th divisions.

Toyotomi Imashima, commander of the 2nd Army of the Japanese Army, said in a deep voice: "Everyone, the public security and rectification of the entire Hebei region has been completed, and our Shandong Imperial Team follows the order of General Sugiyama Moto. As the second province in North China to start sweeping, it will attack the Zhongzhang team in Shandong at 7 a.m. the day after tomorrow!"

Suddenly, the Japanese officers present were excited.

"Yaxi!"

"It's finally time for our Second Army to make achievements!"

"For the sake of the sacred war of the empire, we will definitely completely wipe out the Zhongzhao team in Shandong this time!"

The plan to rectify public security is a major action they have been looking forward to.

They invaded China in large numbers just to kill and conquer.

North China covers several provinces including Hebei, Shanxi, Shandong, Henan, etc., and the Japanese army's public security and rectification cannot be ignited together, but will be carried out one after another.

The Hebei beacon has completely ignited to its highest point, and Shandong has carried out its development in the future.

When the wars are everywhere in Shandong, battles will begin in Shanxi, Henan, northern Anhui, northern Jiangsu, southern Inner Mongolia and other areas!

Commander Toyotomi Imashima Go glanced at the excited people and said solemnly: "Everyone, this time, since the Eighth Route Army's dragon-headed guerrillas were hidden in the Taishan Mountains and out of our control, our sweeping plan will also change.

Originally, the first step in our plan was to launch a sweep from Liaocheng and Tai'an, but now with the uncertainty of the leader guerrillas, I decided that our army in Liaocheng and Tai'an is not suitable for a large-scale sweep from now on, and instead launched a sweep from Zibo and Dezhou, the fight first!"

"Hi!"

The Japanese soldiers present answered in unison.

Everyone's eyes were filled with cold lights, and there was a sense of resentment.

Although the Longtou Guerrillas have few troops, they occupy the Taishan Mountains, which is like a thorn in their throats for the Japanese army.

The Longtou Guerrillas hiding among the mountains can use the terrain to launch surprise attacks on the Japanese troops in Tai'an, Liaocheng and other places at any time, which is unpredictable and has a headache.

On the other hand, the Japanese army had no choice but to deal with them.

Therefore, the Japanese troops in Liaocheng and Tai'an cannot move lightly.

This is also the reason why Ouyang led his troops to hide in Mount Tai, and he suppressed the Japanese army's forces to the greatest extent!

With 2ooo people, we will control two Japanese divisions!

~~~~~~

Shandong, Liaocheng.

Command of the 32nd Division of the Japanese Army.

"Baga!"

Japanese division commander Hitotaro Kimura said hideously: "If it weren't for the fact that the dragon-headed guerrillas were made, our 32nd Division would have shined brightly and made achievements. How could it be like now, with nearly 20,000 troops of a division to guard against a small guerrilla team of the Eighth Route Army, which is hateful, and really hateful!"

The Japanese troops in Tai'an were all so angry that they were itchy.

"The dragon-head guerrillas hiding in the Taishan Mountains are really hateful."

"We can't wipe them out, they can attack us at any time, which is simply too despicable!"

~~~~~~~

At the same time.

Leading guerrillas.

Ouyang summoned commanders and fighters from various departments overnight to hold a meeting.

Chief of Staff Jiang Dengxuan, commander of the first battalion, commander of the second battalion, commander of the third battalion, and commander of the third battalion, all were absent.

"First, tonight is a critical moment to decide the future direction of the 512th Brigade and the 110th Division of the Japanese Army."

"If the 512th Brigade cannot rescue hundreds of people being held captive tonight, then it will be subject to the Japanese army everywhere. Even if it has terrain and terrain, it will be useless in the face of the Japanese army. Then our plan to counterattack Handan will be in vain!"

"Secondly, the entire Hebei has been completely transformed into a pot of congee. According to the information we obtained before and our speculation, the Japanese troops in Shandong will also launch an attack in the next few days."

"In my case, the Japanese troops in Liaocheng and Tai'an must not dare to act rashly and sweep the enemy forces in my leading guerrillas. This is beneficial to the overall anti-Japanese situation in Shandong, but it is greatly disadvantageous to our plan to counterattack Handan!"

After Ouyang finished speaking, the entire conference room fell into silence.

If the 512th Brigade is defeated, then it would be a delusion to attack Handan with the strength of the two guerrillas in the leader guerrillas.

At the same time, the Japanese troops in Tai'an and Liaocheng did not move, so the dragon guerrillas would not dare to leave the Taishan Mountains and go to Handan, after all, they could not fight at all!

Chief of Staff Jiang Dengxuan said in a deep voice: "We don't care whether the Japanese troops in Tai'an and Liaocheng are always moving. The premise is that the 512th Brigade will successfully complete the rescue mission, otherwise everything will be empty talk!"

"Yeah!" Ouyang nodded heavily.

The first battalion commander Yang Liqing said with a serious expression: "Yes, if the 512th Brigade cannot save the people tonight, we will completely lose the possibility of attacking Handan!"

The Third Battalion Commander Ruinian sighed: "Although Commander, you believe in the strength of the 512th Brigade, judging from the current situation, it is quite difficult for them to rescue the bullied people from the Japanese army. This battle is not easy!"

At this moment, the others present nodded.

Everyone knows one thing. If the 512th Brigade cannot rescue the people tonight, then everything will be empty talk.

The counterattack of the Dragon Guerrillas against Handan is just a joke!

~~~~~~

Hebei Handan, Shexian County.

Brigade Commander Liu Tongluo, Political Commissar Zhao Gang, and Chief of Staff Wang Yaqiao all stood on the city tower of the county town, and used a telescope to look at the Japanese army more than ten miles away.

——The Japanese Army Jiangkou United Camp.

Liu Tongluo said sternly: "Whether we can complete the next plan depends on tonight. I believe that the Wolf Warrior Squadron will not disappoint us!"

Zhao Gang said in a deep voice: "Tonight's action is only successful, not failure, otherwise we may even lose the Shexian County!"

Tonight is a crucial battle that determines the future situation!
Chapter completed!
