This morning, Zhoukou County was suddenly attacked by a large number of Japanese troops.

Most of the defenders in the city fled without a fight, and were captured by the Japanese army.

At the critical juncture, fortunately Yang Chen led the Huben regiment to arrive in time, annihilated the Japanese army and recovered the occupied urban area.

At present, Zhoukou County is still in our hands!"

"What? Zhoukou County was attacked by the enemy? Wasn't Yang Chen's Huben regiment still in Lanfeng Sanyi Village last night? Why did they suddenly go to Zhoukou overnight?" General Li Delin was confused.

"This humble job is not clear."

"Oh!" General Li Delin nodded, then got up and walked towards the battle map hanging on the wall behind him.

After finding the location of Zhoukou on the map, he looked puzzled and asked, "What is the purpose of the Japanese army's sneak attack on Zhoukou?"

While pondering, General Li Delin's gaze moved upwards slowly, to the intersection of Longhai Railway and Pinghan Railway, that is, the Zhengzhou area.

When he saw the two criss-crossing railway lines, General Li Delin suddenly came to his senses, his expression changed, and he immediately turned around and told the adjutant, "Go and tell Bai Jiansheng and the others to come right away, and tell them there is an emergency situation!"

The communications adjutant saw that General Li Delin's face became very serious, and he didn't dare to neglect, so he saluted quickly, turned around and left quickly.

Although General Li Delin's strategic vision is slightly inferior to that of General Bai Jiansheng, he is also an excellent military commander.

When I first heard that the Japanese army attacked Zhoukou, I didn't realize the seriousness of the situation.

But as he was on the map and had a bird's-eye view of the entire strategic situation, he suddenly woke up like a dream, and broke out in a cold sweat instantly.

Because, he has already seen that if Zhoukou falls, the Japanese army will march westward, and they can capture Luohe, Xuchang and other places.

Cut off the Ping-Han Railway from the Central Plains, thereby threatening the flanks of the main forces of the First and Fifth Theaters gathered in the Zhengzhou and Luoyang areas.

Once this move is achieved, the Central Plains will no longer be owned by the national government, and the hundreds of thousands of elite troops are likely to suffer heavy losses.

Even the Japanese army could follow the Ping-Han railway line and invade Hubei in one fell swoop, directly taking the three towns of Wuhan.

The consequences are too serious!

After being notified, Bai Jiansheng and other high-ranking military officers from the fifth war zone all rushed over as quickly as possible and arrived one after another.

At this time, General Li Delin had come to the combat conference room to wait for them.

Under the guidance of the communications adjutant, everyone entered the combat conference room and saluted General Li Delin who was standing in front of the map: "Mr. De!"

"Sir!"

General Li Delin turned around when he heard the words, and waved to General Bai Jiansheng and others: "I just got the news that the Japanese army raided Zhoukou, come quickly and take a look at the map."

"what?"

General Bai Jiansheng and the others were taken aback, looked at each other, and hurried over one after another.

Surrounding the map, General Bai Jiansheng, known as Little Zhuge, instantly understood the strategic intentions of the Japanese army.

Anxiously, he said to General Li Delin: "Mr. De! The Japanese invaders' move is aimed at the whole Central Plains.

If we allow them to succeed, our entire fifth theater and first theater, with hundreds of thousands of main forces, may be caught in a dilemma!"

Another officer of the lieutenant general also nodded and said, "That's right, the Japanese army used their troops cunningly and fiercely this time, Zhoukou must be defended, otherwise the Ping-Han Railway will be cut into two sections by the Japanese army from the Central Plains, and the consequences will be disastrous."

General Li Delin said calmly: "Zhoukou has been defended!"

"Hold it?" General Bai Jiansheng and the others were at a loss.

"Yes, we held it." General Li Delin nodded and said, "Yang Chen led the Huben Regiment to arrive in time, wiped out the vanguard of the Japanese army, and held it there."

"Wasn't the Huben Regiment still in Lanfeng Sanyi Village last night? How could they be in Zhoukou?" General Bai Jiansheng and the others were as surprised as Li Delin was before.

"This...for the time being, I don't know.

Just like the beginning of the Battle of Xuzhou, the Huben Regiment suddenly rushed from southeast Shanxi to Chuzhou, and raided the headquarters of the Japanese 6th Division, assisting the 1st Army and other departments to successfully defend Chuzhou.

The whereabouts of the Huben group and Yang Chen's actions are really hard to fathom! "

After hearing this, General Bai Jiansheng couldn't help but said: "That's right, Yang Chen's thinking really can't be speculated according to ordinary people, otherwise, how could he turn the tide time and time again and make such unworldly military exploits?

But Yang Chen is not a reckless person, maybe he just got the news that the Japanese army was going to raid Zhoukou last night, and then he didn't have time to report, so he acted first, right?

This is also thanks to Yang Chen's decisive decision. If he followed the normal procedure and reported first like everyone else, he might have missed the opportunity of the battle.

Of course, the super combat effectiveness of the Huben regiment is also an indispensable prerequisite.

Otherwise, if other troops go, it may not work! "

"Anyway, thanks to the presence of the Huben Regiment, otherwise Zhoukou would fall, and Xuchang, Zhengzhou and other places would be in danger." Another chief of staff said, "I even think that the most depressed person should be the little devil."

General Li Delin asked: "Then what do you think we should do next?"

"The Huben Regiment should be ordered to defend Zhoukou, so as to buy time for us to mobilize troops and build a defense line!" General Bai Jiansheng blurted out: "I believe that with the capabilities of the Huben Regiment, it should not be a big deal to resist the attack of one or two divisions of little devils." Big question."

"Well!" After seeing the fighting power of the Huben Regiment, the rest of the people also agreed with General Bai Jiansheng, nodded and said: "That's right, now, sir, you should order Yang Chen to lead the Huben Regiment to defend on the spot.

At least hold out until reinforcements arrive!

On the other hand, we must arrange and deploy the main force of our army gathered in Zhengzhou and Lanfeng as soon as possible.

In addition to leaving the necessary troops, the rest were dispatched to various places to garrison as soon as possible to prevent the Japanese army from occupying the Central Plains. "

General Li Delin nodded, apparently agreeing to the suggestion of General Bai Jiansheng and others.

…………

The chief of staff of the major general in the fifth war zone was right, and now he is really a little devil who is most puzzled.

Originally, the cavalry wing directly under the 3rd Division, plus more than 10 tanks and armored vehicles, formed an elite force of more than 2000 people.

It is certainly not a problem to attack Zhoukou by surprise and attack Zhoukou, where there is no regular army stationed.

Who would have thought that a tiger group suddenly popped up halfway.

Not only ruined the little devil's good deeds, but also completely broke the third division's dream of occupying Zhoukou and winning the first prize.

It also caused the little devils to lose more than 2000 elites and more than 10 tanks and chariots.
