Guantao County, Handan.

Dragon Head Detachment War Room.

"Report to the Chief of Staff, the commander sent an emergency telegram!"

At this moment, Lan Yanzhi was immediately shocked after translating the message from Ouyang.

The troops are sent to Handan City!

Chief of Staff Jiang Dengxuan's expression was also shocked after reading the telegram!

"Lan Yanzhi, please immediately notify Deputy Political Commissar Li Dakang and Battalion Commander Yang Liqing to come to the war room!"

"Yes, Chief of Staff."

Lan Yanzhi answered loudly.

After Lan Yanzhi left, Chief of Staff Jiang Dengxuan's mind was still difficult to calm down.

The army was launched in Handan City, this was a big event!

Although the 512th Brigade won a series of victories against the 110th Division of the Japanese Army in the Shexian area in western Handan and cut off the Japanese army's retreat, it is no joke to attack Handan City now.

Although the 14th Japanese Guard Brigade of the garrison of Handan City is a miscellaneous Japanese brand, the strength of more than 5,000 people is not a joke.

In contrast, although the Longtou Detachment has recruited a lot of troops after several days of cultivation and rest, its current total strength is only more than 2,500 people, only half of the Japanese army.

Whether considering the strength of troops and the combat effectiveness of new incoming personnel, the Longtou Detachment is difficult to complete the task of conquering Handan City.

The possibility is slim!

In a moment, the secretary of Guantao County and deputy political commissar of the Longtou Detachment, Secretary Li Dakang came to the war room in a hurry.

After reading the message sent by Ouyang, Li Dakang was also shocked and exclaimed: "Chief of Staff, the soldiers sent to Handan City are simply nonsense!"

When attacking Handan City, Li Dakang's first reaction was that it was impossible!

The Japanese army with more than 5,000 people, plus the strong city defense of Handan City, is not a joke.

"Chief of Staff, there is no force of more than 10,000 people, so don't even think about this!" Li Dakang said confidently.

"Why!"

Chief of Staff Jiang Dengxuan also shook his head with a sigh.

A few more minutes passed, Yang Liqing, the battalion commander of the first battalion of the Longtou Detachment, arrived in turmoil.

"Chief of Staff, what happened to the big deal?"

"I'm so anxious to come over, you know that I have a big push now."

As soon as Yang Liqing came in, he started to complain.

It’s not because Yang Liqing complained, but because he has been really busy these days.

Wei County, Qiu County, and Guangping County, which had just been conquered not long ago, were all digesting the recruitment of new recruits, treatment of wounded soldiers, training of soldiers, equipment management and other work, which made him so busy.

Even now, a lot of things have not been processed halfway.

"You can see it yourself."

Chief of Staff Jiang Dengxuan handed Yang Liqing the message on the desktop.

Yang Liqing didn't care much at first, but after watching it halfway, he was shocked.

"This, this, this~!"

Yang Liqing frowned and said, "Chief of Staff, you are sure this is a telegram sent by the commander."

Jiang Dengxuan said solemnly: "That's right, the commander sent a message. Lan Yanzhi and the comrades from the Mechanical Affairs Office have reviewed it three times, so there will definitely be no mistakes."

Upon hearing this, Yang Liqing's heart immediately sank.

"With the strength of our leader detachment, attacking Handan City is simply like hitting a stone with an egg!"

For a moment, the atmosphere in the entire combat room became extremely solemn.

This is what Ouyang sent a telegram that made Jiang Dengxuan and others so confused.

If it were someone else, Jiang Dengxuan, Li Dakang and Yang Liqing would have started to swear, and he would not agree to the plan to attack Handan even if he was beaten to death.

Even if this is the order from the superior!

"Bang!"

After a long time, Yang Liqing slapped the table and gritted his teeth and said, "The rear of the Japanese 110th Division has been cut off, and the battlefield in Hebei is also a mess. It is indeed a good opportunity for us to attack Handan City, but with our existing troops, it is impossible to capture Handan City!"

Li Dakang and Jiang Deng chose both of them, and both nodded heavily and expressed their agreement.

"Report!"

At this moment, Lan Yanzhi hurried in again.

"Chief of Staff, this is the commander just sent a message!"

"Another telegram?"

Li Dakang didn't even read the telegram and blurted out: "It seems that the commander is really anxious."

Attack Handan City?

Li Dakang, Jiang Dengxuan and Yang Liqing were really not sure at all.

Tianjin.

Japanese North China Front Command.

The office of Lieutenant General Tomofumi Yamashita, Chief of Staff of the Japanese Front Army.

"The Longtou Detachment is going to attack Handan City?"

Yamashita Tomoto put down the documents in his hand, frowned at a Japanese Nakasa officer in front of him, and said, "Is the news accurate?"

The Japanese Nakasa standing in front of him was the deputy chief of the Japanese intelligence agency, Tohizoku, and Yoshitaro Kawamoto.

Yoshitaro Kawamoto said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, the news was sent by our people lurking in the 512th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army. He is a senior combat staff member of the 512th Brigade. This news is absolutely reliable and there will be no mistakes."

Chief of Staff, Tomomoto Yamashita nodded.

At this moment, he no longer doubted the accuracy of the telegram.

But his heart was full of doubts and confusion.

"Chief of Staff, do you think there is something strange about it?" Yoshitaro Kawamoto smiled.

“That’s exactly that!”

Chief of Staff, Yamashita, nodded with a serious expression: "According to our understanding of the Eighth Route Army's Dragon Head Detachment, their combat effectiveness is indeed good and they are extremely brave, but their troops are not large, which is not enough to support them in challenging our 14th Guard Brigade of the Great Japanese Imperial Army, let alone breaking through Handan City.

Moreover, Ouyang, the commander of the Dragon Head Detachment, according to our understanding, is not a stupid guy, but a very treacherous person."

Chief of Staff, Tomomo Yamashita, said coldly: "I don't believe Ouyang will make this stupid decision."

"hehe!"

Suddenly, Yoshitaro Kawamoto chuckled softly.

"Kun Kawamoto, why are you laughing?" Yamashita Bongfu frowned.

"His Excellency Chief of Staff, listen to me."

Yoshitaro Kawamoto said: "Looking at the combat experience of Ouyang, the commander of the Eighth Route Army, whether it was the original White Tiger Guerrillas, later White Tiger Detachment, White Tiger Column, 512th Brigade, and even the current Dragon Detachment.

Although he defeated my Great Japanese Imperial Army again and again, it is not difficult for us to see a little from it.

That is, he is a very bold person!

Moreover, every battle he fought was almost full of gambling!

Of course, instead of gambling, it’s better to change the method, that is, not playing cards according to the routine!”

Yoshitaro Kawamoto continued: "It is his usual style to do it even though he knows it is impossible to do it. Everyone in Handan City now understands that it is impossible to shake Handan City with the strength of the Longtou Detachment, but he just did it.

Please give me a bold statement, Ouyang just wanted to attack our army and caught us off guard!"

Bold?

Don't play by the rules?

Is it the usual style to do it even though I know it is impossible?

At this moment, Lieutenant General Toshi Yamashita exclaimed: "Kun Kawamoto, he is really a talented man in the empire!"

Handan City.

The 14th Japanese Army Guard Brigade.

"Report to the brigade commander, the front army called, Yan Yan, the Dragon Head Detachment of the Eighth Route Army is about to launch an attack on our Handan City!"

Hearing this, the brigade commander Yuki Yamazaki was immediately shocked!

The other Japanese officers present also changed their faces.

At this moment, the brigade commander Yuo Yamazaki knew that something big was going to happen, so he immediately decisively ordered: "Order all departments of our brigade and all counties and counties in Handan to strictly prevent sneak attacks from the Eighth Route Army's Dragon Head Detachment!"

"Hi!"
Chapter completed!
