    When the main force of the national army besieged Handan City, the Japanese troops in the direction of Guantao also rested. After breakfast, the Japanese troops from all walks of life also began to search towards the hinterland of Guantao.

    This mighty appearance really frightened the anti-Japanese troops in Guantao. Although Li Guoyao's troops had evacuated Guantao, there were still several Eighth Route Army guerrillas and several bandits here.  Now these people have become victims of the Japanese army's wrath.

    At ten o'clock in the morning, the third brigade of the Japanese 222nd Regiment was attacked by a mysterious armed force when passing through Zhanggezhuang. More than 30 soldiers were killed and injured on the spot, and then the Japanese army began to attack.

    After receiving the news, Lieutenant General Wu Chuannan was overjoyed, thinking that he had found Li Guoyao's troops, and immediately ordered nearby troops to gather towards Zhanggezhuang.

    However, after more than four hours of encirclement and suppression operations and the elimination of hundreds of enemy troops, they discovered that this was just a guerrilla force from Tubal Road and not the Li Guoyao they were looking for.

    At the same time, the third brigade of the 224th Regiment encountered a cavalry unit of about 800 people near Wei Sengzhai, 30 kilometers north of Guantao City. After a fight, the other party fled north.

    In view of the strong combat effectiveness of this cavalry unit, the captain believed that this should be the main force of Li Guoyao's unit. After all, according to intelligence, Li Guoyao's unit had a large number of cavalry.

    After receiving the news, Wu Chuannan's headquarters immediately dispatched a cavalry regiment to pursue the north!

    However, these Japanese troops did not know that what they were chasing was not Li Guoyao's troops, but a group of horse bandits that had been active in southern Hebei!

    And just when the 36th Division made a mistake in Guantao, Li Guoyao's troops finally arrived outside Handan City at about 12 o'clock in the morning after 15 hours of rapid march.

    At this time, the battle outside Handan City has entered a white-hot stage. Both the 97th Army and the New Fifth Army have conquered the first Japanese defense line outside Handan City and are launching an attack on the second line of defense.

    However, Li Guoyao's troops did not immediately engage in battle after arriving outside Handan City. Li Guoyao did not rush to the east gate and south gate at all, but bypassed the back of Sun Dianying's troops and went straight to the north gate of Handan City.

    Compared with the South Gate and East Gate, the defense situation of the North Gate is relatively weaker. The reason is also very simple, because when Li Guoyao formulated the battle plan, he specifically asked the main force of the Hebei-Cha War Zone to attack these two gates.

    Li Guoyao also believed that with the special high-tech capabilities of the Japanese army and the situation of traitors roaming the ground in the Hebei-Cha war zone, the Japanese army would definitely figure out the specific plan of the national army before the battle started.

    In this way, as long as the little devil's head is not kicked by a donkey, he will definitely take the right medicine and arrange it!

    Think about it, there are only so few troops in Handan city, and it is definitely not possible to distribute them evenly. It will be easy for them to be defeated individually. After all, the Chinese army outside the city has two armies and tens of thousands of people.

    Therefore, the Japanese commander can only focus on defense. Since he knows that the focus of the Chinese army's attack is on the south gate and east gate, the main force should also be deployed at these two gates.

    As for the west gate and north gate, it can be dealt with. After all, the Chinese army will not attack anywhere.

    In Sun Tzu¡¯s Art of War, this is called building a plank road to attack Chen Cang secretly, or it is called a mantis stalking a cicada and an oriole behind. In short, Li Guoyao used Zhu Huaibing and Sun Dianying as guns!

    Of course, if Handan City is really captured, the benefits of these two troops will be indispensable!

    After the troops arrived at the north gate of Handan, Li Guoyao immediately ordered the troops to go into battle. Among them, the first regiment of the Women's Brigade, artillery battalion, air defense battalion and other troops attacked on the spot, while the second regiment and more than a thousand people from Lu Zhanwu's command rushed to the west gate.  Attack by Simon.

    Since there were only a small number of Japanese troops at the west gate and the north gate, and the firepower of Li Guoyao's troops was really fierce, all the Japanese troops' peripheral positions at the north gate were lost in less than half an hour.

    Then, more than 10,000 troops pressed towards Handan City. After suffering a certain amount of casualties, the north gate was directly blown open by Li Guoyao's troops, and the troops entered the city through the north gate.

    Ten minutes later, the west gate was also breached. Less than an hour after arriving on the battlefield, tens of thousands of troops belonging to Li Guoyao successfully entered the important town of Handan.

    This is not only because the combat effectiveness of Li Guoyao's troops is stronger than that of Zhu Huaibing and Sun Dianying, but more importantly, it is a matter of Li Guoyao's calculations. In this battle, he not only dug a hole for the little devils, but also killed hundreds of thousands of people.  The army became a chess piece in the hand.

    Especially in the Handan battlefield, almost all the few Japanese and puppet troops were attracted to the east gate and south gate. Therefore, although Li Guoyao's troops were the last to arrive, they were the first to attack.The troops entering Handan.

    When the Japanese garrison commander in Handan learned that the North Gate and West Gate were attacked by the Chinese army at the same time, he knew that he was about to be attacked, and immediately prepared to send the only two infantry squadrons remaining in the city plus the two puppet infantry battalions to reinforce.  As a result, before his troops arrived, the city gate was broken.

    However, the Japanese garrison commander was also a tough guy. He knew that even if he broke out, there would be no good results. He could only explain the situation to the 36th Division Regiment Headquarters and the North China Front Army Headquarters, while ordering the troops to engage in street fighting with the National Army.  .

    But Li Guoyao had already thought of this situation. After the troops entered the city, they immediately used battalions and companies as units to launch attacks on the arsenal, train station, barracks and garrison headquarters where the Japanese army was mainly stationed. At the same time, he sent the main force to attack the east gate and south gate.  Attack in the direction of the gate, attacking the Japanese troops in these two areas from both inside and outside.

    With the help of Li Guoyao's command, the 97th Army and the New Fifth Army quickly defeated the Japanese army in front of them, and then invaded Handan City.

    Different from the more than 10,000 people in Li Guoyao's troops, Zhu Huaibing's and Sun Dianying's troops only had 30,000 troops. So many troops poured into the city at once, which was definitely a huge blow to the Japanese and puppet troops who were stubbornly resisting in the city.  A disaster.

    Originally, the Japanese garrison commander thought that with their surviving small force of 3,000 troops, they could at least deal with the national army in the urban area for two or three days. After all, neutralizing things in street fighting is really difficult.

    But when more than 40,000 national troops entered the urban area of ??Handan, the puppet troops could not bear it at first, and soon some puppet troops surrendered like the national army.

    At first, only the scattered puppet troops chose to surrender. After the national army occupied two-thirds of the city, entire platoons and companies of puppet troops began to surrender.

    As of 10 o'clock in the evening on July 4, except for the train station and the remaining puppet troops who fought stubbornly for 500 to 600 days, all the remaining places in Handan City have been occupied by the national army.

    At this time, the 97th Army Headquarters and the New Fifth Army Headquarters have also moved from outside the city to Handan City!

    However, when Zhu Huaibing and Sun Dianying arrived at the former Japanese garrison headquarters, they found that it had become the temporary headquarters of the Ninth Army!

    In fact, when the rumble of gunfire came from the north and west gates of Handan, Zhu Huaibing and Sun Dianying knew there was a problem and immediately sent people to investigate the situation.

    However, before his people could investigate clearly, they found that Handan City was broken. The investigators they sent out only saw a large number of national troops entering the city, but they did not figure out which army took the lead.

    "But after Li Guoyao's troops helped them eliminate the Japanese and puppet troops at the east gate and south gate, and when they saw the flag of the Jiujiu Army, they suddenly realized that it was Li Guoyao's troops who were the first to invade Handan City.

    Zhu Huaibing and Sun Dianying¡¯s first feeling was that they were screwed, and their second feeling was that they had been fooled!

    ¡°These two people are veterans. They have been in the officialdom for so many years, and their heads are like clockwork. When they think about the situation in front of them, they know that they are being used as a weapon.

    Thinking that their troops fought for a long time, killed and wounded so many brothers, and finally had the first victory in conquering Handan City being robbed by Li Guoyao's troops, the two of them felt angry, so after the troops entered the city, they went straight to Li Guoyao's temporary command post to ask for help.  a statement.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
