    By ten o'clock in the morning, the Japanese army had not even fully figured out how many enemy troops were attacking them. Many of its data points on the periphery had been eliminated.

    At this time, between Xinxiang and Anyang, the Japanese defenders in the Hebi area were also attacked by an enemy.

    Hebi is located east of Xinxiang and Anyang, and is not considered a war zone. Therefore, the Japanese soldiers stationed in this city only have one squadron of more than 200 people.

    Including the local puppet troops, there are only five to six hundred people.

    And at around four o'clock in the morning, a force of more than 2,000 people appeared outside Hebi City.

    This is the first batch of the main regiment of the airborne division to be dropped. The troops of more than 2,000 people finally completed the assembly task after more than two hours of mutual communication in the middle of the night.

    Liu Hong had already brought the main force of this reorganized group to the outside of Hebi City.

    As long as they occupy Hebi, they can easily threaten the flanks and rear of Xinxiang and Anyang.  At the same time, Japanese reinforcements coming from the direction of Dezhou, Shandong were contained.

    "Masters, we have almost gathered together. Our two companies have circled Hebi. There are no other troops here, just a stronghold." The leader of the first regiment said.

    Liu Hong asked: "Let the troops of those two companies attack the Japanese stronghold first. Our main force will be on the road where the little Japanese reinforcements must pass, and surround the points to fight for reinforcements."

    "I think so too." The leader of the first regiment said and began to act according to the order.

    At this time, the Japanese army had only one squad and one puppet company in the Chenzhuang stronghold west of Hebi, totaling only more than 130 people.

    In the latter part of the night, they received a telegram from the front, telling them to be more vigilant. The enemy had begun to attack Xinxiang, Anyang and other areas.

    However, this order did not cheer up the team at Chenzhuang stronghold.

    Because of their location, they are still nearly a hundred kilometers away from the war zone.  In their understanding, the enemy's troops could not advance from the Xinxiang area to them overnight.

    This is indeed true, but what they did not expect was that the enemy also had airborne troops.

    After all, on the Asian battlefield, the "airborne troops" are definitely very rare.  Not only does the Chinese army not have airborne troops, the Japanese army also has a very small number of airborne troops, and they are basically deployed on the Pacific battlefield.

    Therefore, after seeing the telegram, Captain Changcun of the Japanese stronghold in Chenzhuang did not even wake up the soldiers in the stronghold.

    And he himself directly chose to return to his residence and continue sleeping.

    At this time, outside the stronghold, the soldiers of the First Regiment of the Airborne Division had already adjusted the mortars they carried with them to fire at the three gun towers of the Japanese stronghold.

    "Here comes the order, start the attack!!!"

    "Yes!!" the soldier over there replied immediately.

    After hearing this, several mortarmen over there immediately put the mortar shells into the mortar barrel.

    ¡°Boom boom!!!¡±

    A loud noise was heard immediately, and the three gun towers of the Japanese army's stronghold in Chenzhuang were immediately accurately hit by mortar shells.  The Japanese searchlight on the turret was hit by three artillery shells fired at the same time.

    At the same time, the heavy machine guns equipped by these two companies also began to roar.

    The intensive sound of gunfire immediately woke up the Japanese and puppet troops in the Chenzhuang stronghold from their sleep.

    They got up from the bed one after another and began to climb upstairs.

    At the same time, the Japanese squad leader, who had just fallen asleep, immediately called the troops in Hebi City for help.

    "Immediately tell your Excellency, the squadron leader, that the Chenzhuang stronghold has been attacked by the enemy. Our army has been fiercely attacked by the enemy. They carry heavy weapons and have very fierce firepower."

    The Japanese squad leader shouted on the phone.

    The Japanese receptionist over there was about to fall asleep. When he heard the roar of gunfire on the other side of the phone, he immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.

    He immediately shouted and rushed towards the residence of their squadron leader.

    The Japanese army, which had only one squadron in Hebi, heard the sound of gunfire coming from outside the city. They didn't even wait for someone to wake them up before they woke up from their sleep.

    When the Japanese squadron leader in Hebi saw that Chenzhuang was under attack, he immediately ordered his soldiers to take trucks to support Chenzhuang.

    By Chen ZhuangFrom the reported situation, he knew that although the enemy's firepower was fierce, their number did not seem to be very large, maybe only two or three hundred people.  It is very likely that they are the Eighth Route Army guerrillas that have been operating nearby for a long time.

    This caused the Japanese squadron leader in Hebi to make mistakes in his judgment.

    He determined that this was an Eighth Route Army guerrilla force, not the enemy's main force.  So he decisively took a truck and rushed to the Chenzhuang stronghold outside the city with more than a hundred elite Japanese soldiers.

    The puppet troops were all woken up at this time and began running towards the Chenzhuang stronghold.

    At this time, outside Hebi City, I saw the city gate being opened. Japanese troops rode in trucks, while puppet troops rushed out on foot.  Liu Hong knew that the Japanese army had taken the bait.

    This tactic of encircling a point for reinforcements and luring the snake out of its hole was masterfully used by the guerrilla forces during the decades-long Anti-Japanese War, and it was tried and tested repeatedly.

    "The little devil is out." The leader of the first regiment said to Liu Hong next to him.

    Liu Hong smiled, and then said: "Tell the troops in the ambush not to rush to attack. Wait until the Japanese puppet troops have entered the ambush circle before starting to attack. Let's take the remaining soldiers and rush into the city directly."

    "yes!!"

    Afterwards, the soldiers of the first regiment began to take action.

    After the Japanese reinforcements left the city, the remaining Japanese troops in the city closed the city gate again.  But at this time, there were less than a hundred Japanese troops remaining in Hebi City.  And they are scattered everywhere.

    The soldiers of the first regiment, numbering in the thousands, began to approach the Japanese gate under the cover of darkness.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
