?Starting at 11:00 a.m. on May 18, 1939, the 110th Division of the Japanese Army began to advance with all its might towards Handan City. The speed of its marching was astonishing.

Faced with the fierce attack of the Japanese army, Ouyang decisively ordered our army to set up multiple roadblocks and sniper points along the way, hoping to delay the speed of the Japanese army's attack and provide valuable time for our army to build a new military defense line.

But last!

All ended in failure.

The hundreds of people sent were only blocked by the Japanese army for only one hour.

The vanguard of the 110th Division of the Japanese Army is too powerful!

"In fact, it is not that our Japanese Imperial Army has greatly increased its combat effectiveness, but that the Eighth Route Army has greatly reduced its strength!"

Hiromoto Toyota laughed and said, "They have been fighting for a month in a row, and they have not stopped for almost a moment. Their soldiers' spirit and physical strength are already on the verge of collapse. Fighting for a month is already a miracle!"

"I admire them in my heart!"

"But because I admire them, I want to kill someone this time!"

Immediately, the Japanese army cut through waves and broke through the waves, and after sweeping away many roadblocks and blockades in our army, they finally arrived at the city of Handan at noon! The black army launched, and the Japanese army of more than 7,000 people immediately gave people a huge pressure to thunder and tigers and wolves go down the mountain.

The battle enters the final battle!

Whichever party is in Handan City, it will take the initiative in the battle.

"Tell me the order, the team will stop attacking and rest!"

Hiromoto Toyota's order immediately made many Japanese officers and soldiers not understand it.

"hehe!"

Hiromoto Toyota waved his hand: "The enemy is a tired army. As the saying goes, attacking the city is the best, and attacking the heart is the best. This time, our rest and rest under the city will inevitably put huge psychological pressure on the enemy!"

In an instant, the Japanese officers present suddenly realized.

"Haha, yes, it's so boring to cut the mess with a quick knife. It's just that the dull knife is scraping the bones, hahaha!"

Hiromoto Toyota laughed loudly, showing his domineering look.

Hiromoto Toyota, who has great power, has full combat power and is full of wisdom.

Our army's position in Handan City.

The soldiers in the trenches looked at the dark Japanese army queues several miles away, and couldn't help but feel a strong atmosphere of war, which was like a hurricane, making everyone breathless!

From time to time, people kept swallowing their saliva because of nervousness.

Ouyang, Chu Yunfei, Liu Tongluo, Wang Yaqiao, Zhao Gang, Jiang Dengxuan, Li Dakang and others looked at the soldiers' terrified expressions, and their hearts suddenly sank.

Although our joint army has a force of nearly 2,000, it has eliminated 1,000 people from Chu Yunfei's troops, and the remaining hundreds of troops from the 512th Brigade and the Longtou Detachment are basically either wounded or non-combatants.

"Brother Ouyang, I am not my brother, I am underestimating myself. With our current tired army, it is absolutely impossible to stop the Japanese army!"

Chu Yunfei said in a deep voice with a serious expression.

Ouyang nodded without answering.

"Commander, I think Brigade Commander Chu is right."

Jiang Dengxuan gritted his teeth and said, "Our main problem now is that we have insufficient troops; the second is that the city defense of Handan City has been ruined; the third is that the physical strength and spirit of the soldiers are almost at the verge of collapse, and one in ten combat power is not enough. With these three problems, it is almost impossible for our army to defend Handan City!"

After hearing Jiang Dengxuan's words, Liu Tongluo, Wang Yaqiao and others were unwilling to admit it, but they all nodded secretly.

This is true!

"Oh~!"

Liu Tongluo put down the telescope in his hand and sighed: "Actually, the moment we lost in Wu'an County, we should know that the entire battle situation had undergone irreversible changes, and Handan City would inevitably be difficult to protect!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Gang asked anxiously: "Then why don't we ask for help from other tribes? I believe they should all know the importance of Handan City, and it is definitely impossible to ignore it."

Everyone knows the importance of Handan City now!

If Handan City is lost, the overall situation will collapse!

"Political Commissar Zhao, you take it for granted!"

Chu Yunfei refuted Zhao Gang's words without hesitation.

"Political Commissar Zhao, my independent brigade's trip to reinforce Handan City is already the greatest effort made by the Second Army of our army. After all, the Japanese army faced by the main force of our 2nd Army, but the elite of the 47th Division of the Japanese army is difficult to extract any extra troops at present.

Moreover, when our Independent Brigade went to fight for rescue, there were about 3,000 people, but just after marching for only 30 miles, he was surrounded by a Japanese army from a regiment. Only more than 1,500 people had to break through the siege.

At the same time, on this more than 100 kilometers of front, our independent brigade was attacked by small Japanese troops many times, with more than 500 casualties again, leaving only the last 1,000 people."

Chu Yunfei sighed and said, "This is the case with my independent brigade, let alone other teams of our army?"

"This, this, this!"

Zhao Gang was speechless immediately, and the other people around him also gave up this idea.

Ouyang clenched his fists tightly, his heart full of reluctance.

The National Army can no longer send troops, and the Eighth Route Army is the same.

The Eighth Route Army units were the main force in the Battle of Handan. They were attacked by the Japanese army, which was the biggest. Now, if a regiment was drawn to rescue, even a company could not be drawn.

"The army, the army, the damn army is insufficient!"

Ouyang was resentful.

Somewhere in Handan City.

512 Brigade Field Hospital.

The battlefield hospital at this moment was full of noisy sounds. The soldiers who were seriously injured and limp on the hospital bed were all in trouble now, and the doctors and nurses could not stop them.

"Doctor, let me go!"

"No, you are injured, and you are all seriously injured. You must not leave the hospital and you will die!"

"If you die, die, what are you afraid of?"

"Anyway, I can't stay here anymore. My brothers shed blood and sacrificed on the front line, but I was lying on the hospital bed. What's this? Now I want to die!"

"Dean Bai, I have to leave today, so what if you are gone? So what if your legs are gone? Don't look down on others, I still have both hands, I can fight!"

"Don't stop me, I want to avenge my brothers and avenge me!"

Nearly 500 seriously injured people in the field hospital were all making a fuss, clamoring to go to the battlefield and fight the Japanese. It was obvious that they could not stop them by relying on the dozens of workers in the field hospital.

This led to chaos in the scene.

Dean Bai Jingqi, Nurse Tian Yu, Dr. Bethune, American Desmond, as well as dozens of doctors and nurses, how could they stop the soldiers who were in their brains, even though they were all seriously injured.

Finally, President Bai Jingqi made a fuss and gritted his teeth and said, "Immediately treat the wounded, and then send them away and let them go to the battlefield!"

As soon as this statement was expressed, it was immediately opposed by many people, especially Dr. Bethune and American Desmond.

"Dean Bai, you are irresponsible!"

"Your order will make them die on the battlefield!"

Faced with everyone's doubts, Bai Jingqi, an old dean in his 60s, suddenly turned aright and his eyes widened.

He shouted: "If I don't agree to them on the battlefield now, they will die! Because they are soldiers and the bravest Eighth Route Army soldiers, they will definitely not watch others sacrificing and bleeding!

Instead of letting them die on the sickbed, it is better to die on the battlefield vigorously. This is the most brilliant honor for our Chinese soldiers!”

"There is no regrets to kill and kill in battle!"

Suddenly, Dr. Bethune, American Desmond and others all fell silent, and after a few seconds, they all went into intense work.

512th Bus Cooking Company.

Pang Hong, the head of the cooking company, shouted: "Let's go down all the pots and pans in his hands. Now is the time for us to pick up our guns!"

Lao Gao: "The company commander is right. We are the chefs and even a soldier!"

Dozens of people including Xiao Jiang, Xiao Hu, Xiao Mao were also shouting to fight!

512 Tourism Art Troupe.

Dozens of literary and artistic workers, including Dou Tianbao, Liang Dayuan, all rushed to the front line of the battlefield.

"We all rely on our mouths to make a living. Then today we will make the art troupe a name, and we are also soldiers!"

"That's right, even if we can't fight, we will die on the battlefield with our brothers!"

"Use our horn to cheer for the brothers!"

512 Brigade Communications Company.

"Why don't you let us go to the battlefield? Just because we are women?"

"So what if we are women, we are warriors too!"

"Company Commander, don't look down on us women. The old commander is so good. Women can stand half the sky!"

Faced with the female soldiers' request for battle, the company commander Dai Tianli was one of the top two, and it was useless at least.

512 Brigade Propaganda Company.

Xiao Ya, Dai Ruobing, Dai Ruonan and others were also representatives of female soldiers and asked to participate in the battle.

"I can't care about that much now!"

"We are women, and we are also female soldiers, and Eighth Route Army soldiers!"

"Let the Japanese see how powerful our female soldiers are!"

The Battle of Handan is the most important offensive and defensive battle, and is about to break out.
Chapter completed!
