Chapter 717 The leader is frustrated, the Japanese army is ecstatic
May 11, 1939, 6:00 am.
The Eighth Route Army Dragon Detachment brazenly assembled three battalions of troops and set out from Guangping County to attack Feixiang County, Handan City.
However, due to the existence of Japanese spies within the 512th Brigade, news of the troops entering Handan leaked.
The 14th Japanese Guard Brigade ordered all departments and counties to strictly prevent sneak attacks from the Dragon Head Detachment of the Eighth Route Army.
After an hour of fierce fighting, the Longtou Detachment launched two consecutive attacks, but failed to break through Feixiang County.
The leading detachment suffered a heavy blow!
The Japanese commander of Feixiang County was excited to dance.
He couldn't help but laugh and said, "We have already known their plans for the stupid Eighth Route Army. What a bad leader detachment? If you meet us, you will be unlucky, hahaha!"
The Japanese officers and soldiers around also burst into laughter.
"Hey, the leader team!"
"This is a team that has caused many of my imperial teams, and it's a headache!"
"I don't want to see that today our army was able to intercept him under the county town of Feixiang County. What an amazing record!"
"So the Eighth Route Army Dragon Detachment is just a little more famous, and it's all the more fooling people!"
For a moment, all the Japanese troops in Feixiang County were very excited.
~~~~~~~
Soon, the news that the Longtou Detachment encountered setbacks in Feixiang County immediately reached Handan City and the 14th Japanese Army Guard Brigade.
All the Japanese officers, including the brigade commander Yuki Yamazaki, were all happy.
What's more, I was so happy that I was so happy!
"Yaxi, yaxi, yaxi!"
"The leading detachment is just like that!"
"Everyone in the world says that our 14th Guard Brigade is a miscellaneous brand of my Japanese Imperial Army, but today we can afford the four words "Empire Elite"!"
"That's right, everyone thinks about it. Isn't Kimura's 110th Division arrogant? Isn't it too much for him to lose the ten eastern counties of Handan?"
"Hahaha, there is also the 10th Division of our empire. That's the pride of the empire. I don't look at us directly on weekdays. In the battle of Tai'an City a few days ago, I was also dealt with by the Dragon Detachment!"
"But today, our 14th Guard Brigade blocked the attack of the Eighth Route Army Dragon Detachment. We have completed many dreams that the Emperor* team wants to accomplish but cannot complete. Everyone in our 14th Guard Brigade is a hero!"
The 14th Guard Brigade, from the brigade commander Yuo Yamazaki to the regiment commander, the brigade leader, the squadron leader, the squadron leader, the squadron leader, and even ordinary soldiers, were all extremely ecstatic.
The 14th Guard Brigade is a miscellaneous brand in the Japanese army. Not to mention the 17 permanent divisions of the Japanese army, but also the special division of the 110th Division, they are usually a group of people that other Japanese troops look down upon.
But today, they turned over!
They intercepted the famous leading detachment!
In today's battle, the 14th Japanese Army Guard Brigade swept away all the previous decline. More than 5,000 officers and soldiers were all ecstatic!
~~~~~~
Japanese 110th Division.
At this moment, the faces of the Japanese officers showed a strange look.
After they saw the "good news" from the 14th Japanese Guard Brigade, everyone showed an incredible look.
"Really or not?"
"Can those cowards block the leading detachment?"
"I can't believe it, it's simply incredible!"
"They actually blocked the Dragon Head Detachment. Is this the 14th I know about the Empire's shameful 14th Garrison Brigade?"
The officers of the 110th Division could not believe the truth of the news, and immediately sent several telegrams to repeatedly confirm, and then accepted the fact that the leader detachment was frustrated.
"snort!"
The division commander Yoshio Kimura snorted coldly: "I didn't expect that the 14th Security Brigade, which is a coward, is not useless. We have all been defeated by the leader detachment, but today they are the ones who make the limelight."
While speaking, the division commander Yoshio Kimura was a little sour.
He looked down on the 14th Guard Brigade, a miscellaneous army.
But even though he looked down on him, he was really relieved now.
"At least Handan City will never be lost!"
~~~~~~~
Tianjin.
Japanese North China Front Army.
Commander General Sugiyama Moto, Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Yamashita, and Deputy Chief of General Staff Colonel Muto Akira all showed strange expressions, which was consistent with the expression of the 110th Division of the Japanese Army when they heard the news.
The first reaction is that I don’t believe it!
"Huh~~~~~~!"
Deputy Chief of Staff Colonel Muto Akira sighed and couldn't help but laugh: "This battle can block the attack of the Dragon Head Detachment, the 14th Guard Brigade has made an indelible contribution!"
Among the words, Muto Akira's words were full of luck.
You should know that the current situation in Handan is a mess.
The main force of the Japanese 110th Division was cut off from the rear and trapped in the four places in Shexian County, in danger;
The Japanese troops from all over Hebei are now actively participating in the encirclement and suppression of the Eighth Route Army, and it is difficult to mobilize troops to reinforce the Japanese 110th Division, which inevitably makes the top leaders of the Japanese North China Front Army very worried.
But now!
All worries go away!
"From today's battle in Feixiang County, we can fully see the combat effectiveness of the Longtou Detachment. After experiencing the Battle of Tai'an City, it has declined to the extreme. Even the 14th Guard Brigade, which is the shame of the empire, cannot defeat it. In this way, Handan City is still the Handan City of my Great Japanese Empire, what else can we worry about?"
Chief of General Staff Lieutenant General Tomofumi Yamashita said with a smile.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the conference room became excellent.

~~~~~~~~~~
Brigade Department of the 512th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army.
At this moment, there were only Ouyang, Liu Tongluo, Zhao Gang and Wang Yaqiao in the command post of the brigade headquarters.
Ouyang and the other four burst into laughter at this moment.
Political Commissar Zhao Gang pointed at Ouyang and cursed: "Ouyang, you are still so bad. I guess 80% of the Japanese are secretly happy now!"
"hehe!"
Liu Tongluo said hilariously: "Who said it was not? A waste army like the 14th Japanese Army Guard Brigade can withstand the famous Dragon Head Detachment. How could they not be crazy?"
After hearing what everyone said, Ouyang waved his hand and raised his lips, "Now the Japanese are paralyzed by us, so we can do our best to deal with the Japanese 110th Division."
The leading detachment suffered a heavy blow!
But Ouyang and the other two didn't care at all.
In fact, this is simply a plan implemented by Ouyang and the other four.
Two days ago, when the 512th Brigade began to change direction and counterattack the 110th Division of the Japanese Army in Shexian County, Ouyang and others felt something was wrong.
Chief of Staff Wang Yaqiao even decisively said: "We counterattacked Shexian, which is a military secret. The Japanese did not know so quickly, but when our vanguards entered Shexian, they were intercepted and blocked by several Japanese defense lines. This is enough to show that there were Japanese spies in our 512th Brigade!"
He paused and said, "And his position in our team must be not low, otherwise it would be impossible to convey the news to the Japanese so quickly."
At present, Ouyang and others designed this plan based on the fact that there were Japanese spies in the team.
Ouyang generated electricity to the Longtou Detachment and ordered the Longtou Detachment to launch an attack on Handan City.
"If I were a Japanese spy, such important information would definitely notify the devils as soon as possible." Zhao Gang said with a smile.
Taking this into consideration, Ouyang then secretly sent a second telegram to the leading detachment.
"The Longtou Detachment dispatched all its troops to attack Feixiang County, but it must not be broken. It must also show a significant decline in strength to paralyze the Japanese army. When the time is right, attacking Handan City will surely achieve twice the result with half the effort."
~~~~~~
After the four laughed, Ouyang looked at Liu Tongluo and others and said seriously: "Brothers, then we should be fully sieging and killing the 110th Division of the Japanese Army. If we can win this battle, our army will definitely be afraid of the courage of all the Japanese devils in North China!"
"Um!"
Liu Tongluo, Wang Yaqiao and Zhao Gang all nodded.
Liu Tongluo said in a deep voice: "It's time to decide the winner!"
Zhao Gang: "In this battle, my 512th Brigade will win!"
Wang Yaqiao: "After this battle, my 512th Brigade and the Longtou Detachment will definitely be able to break through Handan City in one fell swoop. By then, the Japanese army's major sweep in the Hebei region will be completely bankrupt."
Chapter completed!
