Chapter 761
July 22, 1939, 8 pm.
Eighth Route Army Headquarters.
Lu Ding smiled and said, "Ouyang is not so heartless. He is going to go to Hunan in a few days, but he is fine. He is still busy marrying his wife. I really underestimated him in the past."
Upon hearing this, General Zhu, General Peng, Zuo Quan and others present laughed.
Mr. Zhu: "If this brat was not very determined, I don't know how many times he would have died!"
Mr. Peng: "Mr. Zhu is right. If we commanders and fighters of the Eighth Route Army do not have the courage to be calm and have no such ambition, how can we talk about fighting the Japanese? Go home and farm as soon as possible."
Zuo Quan, who was standing by, also echoed: "Ouyang is really good, he has grown a lot. If this guy had been put a year ago and with his temperament, he would definitely come to us to complain. But now after making the request, he doesn't say much, so we'll reply to him. Let's not mention the others for now, just the current character is enough to show that he, Wang Jian, is good."
Wang Jian?
That’s right, Ouyang is at Wang Jian!
This time Ouyang's expedition to Hunan was an extremely important life-and-death test for Ouyang's head detachment itself or the entire Eighth Route Army.
First, the road is long and the road is dangerous. To overcome the numerous obstacles of the Japanese army, this itself will test the tactics and strategic level of a commander and fighter. If one is not careful, it will be annihilated.
Secondly, the battle in Hunan is bound to be a large-scale battle. The addition of Chinese and Japanese personnel will definitely not be less than 300,000, or even more. It is extremely difficult for Ouyang to survive a battle of 300,000 or even 500,000 people.
Therefore, Ouyang took the initiative to make a request to ask for people and soldiers, just to safeguard the hearts of the heads of the headquarters.
In this way, I told them and a group of soldiers on the expedition: "I, Ouyang, went to Hunan, not thinking about how to survive, but for victory!"
Either don’t fight, and if you want to fight, you will beat him to the darkness!
This battle is bound to be a shocking battle!
"President Zhu, President Peng, this kid Ouyang is going to get married the day after tomorrow. If we don't respond to his request, I guess this kid won't get married too well!"
Lu Ding smiled and said, "So, I suggest that we decide the result today and tell him Ouyang."
Ouyang’s request is not simple.
It is unavoidable to send troops to Handan area and fill the vacancy after the main force of the Longtou Detachment left.
The most important thing is that Ouyang proposed to draw a main regiment, tank company, cavalry battalion, and artillery regiment from the 512th Brigade to join the expeditionary team. This is worth considering. After all, Ouyang took away several heavy firepower points of the 512th Brigade, which will inevitably greatly affect the strength and firepower of the 512th Brigade.
"This is also something we are worried about!" Chief of Staff Zuo Quan sighed.
"The Chief of Staff is right!"
Lu Dingyi said in a deep voice: "The 512th Brigade is currently the only one in the Eighth Route Army in North China that retains a complete system and can carry out major battles at any time. Once the elite troops are drawn from it to expedition to Hunan, its strength will inevitably decline greatly. Without this powerful legion suppression, the Japanese devils in North China will definitely be ready to move."
Mr. Zhu and Mr. Peng frowned, thinking about the pros and cons.
"Bang!"
In the end, President Peng made the decision: "There is nothing to consider. Ouyang asked us for someone, which is enough to show that he is sure to win when he goes to Hunan this time. For this point, we should give the greatest support!
Doesn’t he want someone now?
OK, I'll give it to him if you want someone!
A main regiment of the 512th Brigade, a cavalry battalion, a tank company, and a part of the artillery regiment, we will satisfy him!"
Mr. Peng said loudly: "Since we want to fight this battle well, how can this little force be enough? Therefore, I suggest that we transfer all the cavalry battalions, engineer battalions, artillery companies, and battlefield hospitals at our headquarters to Ouyang.
The Wolf Teeth Special Forces Brigade of the 512th Brigade also gave it to him!
I want to see if Ouyang, Sun Wukong, can you poke another hole in the sky this time!"
"Hiss~!"
As soon as the words were finished, everyone present took a breath without exception.
Everyone was shocked by President Peng's big moves and courage!
"President Peng, you have to think clearly." Zuo Quan shouted.
Lu Dingyi replied anxiously: "Boss, you can't act irritably!"
"Hahaha!"
President Peng laughed out loud.
"Ouyang still has the courage to fight, so I, Lao Peng, cannot be behind others. The enemy they are facing this time is not an ordinary Japanese army, but a famous, notorious and extremely fierce Japanese 11th Army."
"If you don't have super strength, what can you survive?"
"Don't win this battle.
"He Ouyang wants people now, so we will give them to others, and we will give them much more!"
Mr. Peng said loudly: "Because I believe in him Ouyang, and even more so that our Eighth Route Army soldiers can achieve amazing victory after another and again in difficulties. How difficult it is. Then this time I also believe that they can win a hard-won and inspiring victory for our Eighth Route Army and all our compatriots in China!"
President Peng's words were decisive, powerful and heroic.
Ouyang is not here now. If he is here, he will definitely give President Peng a hundred thousand praises.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the entire conference room became extremely high.
This is the charm of a commander and fighter!
Lu Dingyi: "I agree, let's take a gamble this time."
Zuo Quan: "The soldiers sacrificed their lives and shed their blood. How could we ignore them? This is a fight!"
Finally, President Zhu made the decision directly and agreed to the decision.
At present, telegrams and orders were sent to the various departments of the Eighth Route Army that were recruited.

512th Brigade of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army.
Chief of Staff Wang Yaqiao put down the telegram in his hand and exclaimed: "The old leader has great courage and the headquarter has great work. It seems that this time the Hunan battle against Japan will be full of exciting things, and you will drink the enemy's blood!"
Zhao Gang nodded and said, "Yes, Longtou Detachment, my 512th Brigade, the troops at the headquarters, and the forces drawn from the front and back, have a total of nearly 10,000 people. Can this work and courage be small?"
"Bang~!"
At the moment, the brigade commander Liu Tongluo decided: "What are we waiting for? I passed on my order, ordering the Jiang Daya team of the 886th Regiment, ordering the Fury Brothers Company, ordering the Cavalry Battalion directly under the brigade headquarters, ordering Yang Zhihua's artillery regiment to immediately enter the first-level combat readiness state, and be ready to go to Hunan at any time!"
"Yes, brigade commander!"

Cavalry battalion of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters.
The battalion commander of the cavalry battalion, Baike Qingshan, was also extremely excited at this moment. "Okay, okay, I didn't expect that this kid Ouyang would be so capable this time. It seems that this expedition to Hunan must be very heroic!"
Battalion Commander Baike Qingshan is Ouyang's old friend. When Ouyang just joined the team as a clerk, Baike Qingshan was the battalion commander of the Third Battalion of the Independent Regiment.
If he hadn't been seriously injured in a battle at the beginning of 1938 and had missed a lot of battles, with his ability, he would have been better than a battalion commander now, and even a regiment commander would have been able to capture it.

The Eighth Route Army Headquarters Field Hospital, Headquarters Artillery Company, and Headquarters Engineer Battalion were also very excited tonight.
"That's great, we're finally going to fight a tough battle!"
"That's right, we join the army, just to fight the Japanese!"
"We don't like ordinary Japanese devils yet. If you want to fight, just hit the dog~ Japanese 11th Army!"
At the same time, Ouyang, who was far away in Guantao County, also received a reply from the headquarters as soon as possible. Ouyang was also very excited at the moment!
Infantry, cavalry, artillery, engineers, special forces, medical soldiers, none or missing;
Rifles, light and heavy machine guns, etc. are also putting all their efforts into heavy firepower.
"Mad, with this elite army of nearly 10,000 people in hand, this battle in Changsha, I will definitely beat that dog, Okamura Yasuji!"
At this moment, Ouyang was really very excited.
Chapter completed!
