Handan City.

Command of the 110th Division of the Japanese Army.

"Hmph, this method must have been made by the 512th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army. This is forcing us to go out of the city to fight!"

Takeshita Tsubasa snorted coldly: "And I can conclude that this must be done by the special forces team named Langya in the 512th Brigade!"

At this moment, division commander Yoshio Kimura, brigade commander Toyota Hiromoto, and artillery corps captain Katsuo Echino were among the list.

At the same time, there were also a large number of Japanese officers in the command center, with about thirty people.

Even the demoted brigade commander Matsumoto Taze is here.

However, due to the failure of the battle in the ten counties in the eastern part of Handan, he was demoted. If it weren't for the division commander Yoshio Kimura, how could he have the life to stand here and make a big fuss?

Today, Matsumoto Taze was demoted directly from the rank of major general and served as the adjutant of Yoshio Kimura, the division commander.

In addition, among these twenty people, there is a leader guerrillas who must kill!

——Japanese Major Yoshinoha.

During the battle in the ten counties in the eastern part of Handan, Ma Jiujin's head was cut off by him!

The second squadron, hundreds of soldiers, were also ordered to be shot and killed by him!

How could Ouyang spare such a deep hatred?

I wish I could eat his flesh, his blood, his bones, and his body to pieces!

Today, officers above the Japanese 11o Division arrived almost together to discuss the conquest of the 512th Brigade!

The division commander Yoshio Kimura said in a deep voice: "My 11o division is already at the forefront and has become the target of public criticism. Now it is not whether we want to take the initiative to attack the 512th Brigade, but we have to take the initiative to attack!

"General Sugiyama Moto has already sent three attack orders to our troops!"

"So, I now officially announce that my 11o division will immediately enter the first-level combat readiness state, and attack Shexian at 7 am tomorrow, and wipe out the 512th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop!"

"Hi!"

The Japanese officers present answered in unison.

In fact, many people present also understood that this was the Eighth Route Army's open conspiracy, which forced them to take an attack.

Once you enter Shexian, it is equivalent to entering Taihang Mountains.

How complicated is the terrain of Taihang Mountain? How can everyone not know?

The complexity and change of terrain directly led to the development of the mechanized team of the 11o Division, and its firepower will be greatly limited!

Moreover, in the vast Taihang Mountains, it is very likely that they were ambushed by the Eighth Route Army.

No!

Not possible!

But there must be an ambush!

But now, they have been jealous of the rest of the Japanese troops in North China and have been praised by many newspapers. If they do not take action, it will be embarrassing.

Even the commander-in-chief of the Japanese North China Front Army, Sugiyama, would never spare them!

What's more, neither the division commander Yoshio Kimura, nor the brigade commander Toyota Hiromoto, nor the entire Japanese 11o Division could tolerate such a great humiliation!

As the saying goes, a soldier can be killed but not humiliated!

"Your Excellency, you have a word to say in your post!"

Just as everyone was silent, the new brigade commander Hiromoto Toyota stood up.

With a loud shout, everyone present directly attracted the gaze of everyone present.

Hiromoto Toyota said coldly: "Secretary Commander, our trip will definitely be ambushed by the Eighth Route Army. Therefore, we suggest that we should use the people to resist the Eighth Route Army!"

"Wow~~!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the conference room immediately burst into an uproar.

Do you use the people to resist the Eighth Route Army?

To put it bluntly, it is to treat the Chinese people as pioneers and as the flesh shield to defend the Eighth Route Army!

This move is extremely vicious!

The expressions of the Japanese officers present were shocked, disdainful, excited, and so on.

Matsumoto Taze, the former brigade commander and current adjutant of the division commander, whispered loudly: "General Hiromoto said very well, this plan is very short.

In this way, I predict that the Eighth Route Army would never dare to open firepower, and our army would be invincible!"

Japanese stern chief Yoshinoha, with a hideous face, echoed: "I agree, the Chinese are all inferior ethnic groups, it's better to kill them all!"

This suggestion was immediately approved by the vast majority of Japanese officers.

Of course, there were several Japanese officers who opposed this inhumane suggestion.

Among them, there are the Artillery Regiment Captain Katsuo Erino and the Special Forces Captain Toshita Takeshita.

Katsuo Emano: "The victory of the empire does not need to be carried out by a group of unarmed people, otherwise this will be a great shame in itself!"

Takeshita Tsubasa: "It is the duty of the soldiers to fight between the two armies. What does it have to do with the people? Besides, the sacred wars of the empire do not need to be stained with the blood of these innocent people. I believe that even if the warriors of the empire are not conquered by the Chinese people, they will definitely be able to achieve it!"

A Japanese Nakazuo said in a deep voice: "We are the emperors, so we are disdainful to do it!"

However, there were only a few Japanese officers who opposed this suggestion.

"It is hard for a woman to achieve great things!"

Hiromoto Toyota snorted coldly.

In the end, the division commander Yoshio Kimura decided to respect the suggestions of most people and issued an order to force the Chinese people to resist the Eighth Route Army.

But in a blink of an eye, the problem arose.

"Secretary Commander, as far as I know, the Chinese people in the Shexian area either travel far away or hide in the deep mountains and forests. We even want to coax them, fearing that it will be difficult to catch a few people in a short period of time." Japanese Major Yoshinoha frowned.

"This, this, this~~~."

Many Japanese officers present frowned and began to think, including the division commander Yoshio Kimura.

However, Katsuo Eino and Toshita Takeshita and others who opposed this suggestion were somewhat grateful.

They were indeed Japanese soldiers with Chinese blood on their hands, but they were still unwilling to dye their epaulettes red with the blood of the people of the enemy.

For a moment, everyone's eyes couldn't help but focus on Toyota Hiromoto who made this suggestion.

"hehe!"

Hiromoto Toyota smiled cheerfully, "Shexian does not have it, but are there fewer Chinese people in Handan City, Wu'an County, Cixian and other places under our control? It just happened to catch hundreds of people, just to purify the turbid air!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Takeshita stood up and retorted loudly.

"The brigade commander, the people of Handan City, Wu'an, Cixian and other places are different from Shexian occupied by the Eighth Route Army. They are now considered subjects under the territory of the Great Japanese Empire. If we directly capture them, we will inevitably have an extremely bad impact on my 11o division!"

"Hahaha, stupid!" Hiromoto Toyota directly scolded.

Immediately, he changed his face again and said coldly: "I am afraid that others will see it, so let's go tonight. Anyway, there are not many other people in China, but there are a few hundred people, which will definitely not have any impact!"

At that moment, Takeshita Toshita was speechless and had to turn his face over.

Finally, the division commander Yoshio Kimura directly ordered: "Master Yoshinoha, you will carry out the task of capturing the common people to fight against the Eighth Route Army!"

"Tsunazusa Takeshita, you will lead your special forces 40 warriors and immediately leave the front of Shuxian to implement the 512th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army!"

"Guang Benjun, be prepared immediately. At 7 a.m. tomorrow, your brigade will act as the main force of the division to attack the Eighth Route Army!"

"Mr. Echino, your artillery corps will go out with Hiromoto's brigade and fully cooperate with Hiromoto's attack!"

April 22, 1939, 7:00 a.m.

The Guangben Brigade, under the 11th Division of the Japanese Army, suddenly left Handan City and advanced towards Shexian where the 512th Brigade was located.

The battle in Handan is about to reach!
Chapter completed!
