    They fought fiercely all night and wiped out almost all the Japanese brigade.  And their side also suffered heavy losses, of more than two hundred people, only this was left.

    As for the two cavalry companies that came to support, more than half of them suffered casualties.

    Liu Siyu was sitting next to a lion at the entrance of the village, holding a rolled-edged sword.  Beside him were the corpses of seven or eight Japanese soldiers.

    During the hand-to-hand battle last night, Liu Siyu led his soldiers into the Japanese formation, bravely took the lead, slashed and killed, so that the Japanese soldiers had to besiege him.

    But until the end, the Japanese soldiers were unable to cause any harm to the Chinese officer who had pistols on his waist.

    "Captain Liu, are you okay?" Wei Xing looked at Liu Siyu who was covered in blood and asked in a low voice.

    Liu Siyu did not speak, but still lowered his head and held the machete in both hands.

    Wei Xing thought he was dead for a while, but the soldiers of the Ninth Regiment next to him told him that Liu Siyu fell asleep just because the fierce battle lasted too long.

    "Tell the brothers to prepare a stretcher for Captain Liu and carry him to the truck." Wei Xing felt a throbbing pain in his heart as he looked at Liu Siyu who looked like he had been fished out of a pool of blood.

    After sending Liu Siyu¡¯s soldiers away, Wei Xing began to contact other soldiers of the Ninth Regiment.

    However, many companies in the ninth regiment have been unable to be contacted.  Because their soldiers were basically wiped out in the bloody battle last night.

    Finally, after roughly counting the number of casualties, Wei Xing felt his scalp numb when he saw that number.

    Out of the more than 2,000 people in the Ninth Regiment, only more than 400 people were left to continue fighting. The rest were basically dead or injured.

    But it was such a huge sacrifice that the Japanese army, with an organized brigade of seven to eight thousand people, failed to pass through Shizhai Town.

    Even in the bloody battle last night, the Japanese troops were basically killed and injured by the soldiers of the Ninth Regiment.

    Out of a total of more than 8,000 troops, after a bloody night of fighting, only less than 3,000 were left with combat capabilities.

    Such Japanese troops have completely lost their combat capabilities.  Even if the support reaches the city of Xinxiang, it will still be a loss of lives for Xia Yang's troops.

    Therefore, the Japanese support force had no choice but to turn around and retreat towards Zhengzhou.

    The Japanese army¡¯s rescue efforts in the Xinxiang area did not stop because of this.

    Because they mobilized more troops from the Shandong area.  The arrival of these troops will completely change the war situation here.

    At around nine o'clock in the morning, the leading troops of the two Japanese brigades had taken a train from Shandong, then switched to trucks and arrived at a small town east of Hebi.

    When they arrived here, they basically entered the combat area.

    The Japanese eyeliners remaining in this area have already roughly surveyed the defense deployment of the Airborne Division troops and reported it to the Japanese Joint Operations Command.

    At this time, the Japanese army was temporarily appointed as the commander-in-chief on the Eastern Front, Kenkawa Heiichiro, using a magnifying glass to observe every location on the military map.

    He used a pencil to mark several major locations on these maps.

    These locations are places where their soldiers who conducted early investigations found traces of enemy activities.  Less than 20 kilometers away from their current town, there were blocking positions set up by the enemy on both sides of the main road.

    The scout troops they sent forward have confirmed the location of the enemy.

    The soldiers of the Airborne Division have already built defensive positions there.

    If the Japanese military vehicles, mules and horses want to reach Hebi City as quickly as possible and then support Anyang and Xinxiang areas, this is the only way to go.

    Only by controlling this road can they ensure the follow-up of the logistics troops and the smooth advancement of the main force.

    Unlike those guerrillas, they do not need to use trucks, but only use manpower and mules and horses for transportation. Even if they do not control the road, they can ensure the supply of logistical supplies.

    "The enemy is in Dongling Town, with at least 3,000 defensive troops. They plan to block our westward support for Anyang and the Xinxiang area here.

    Of course, we can also choose to take a detour and directly ignore the enemies in Hebi.  But there are at least five to six thousand enemies here. If we take a detour, our rear will not be protected.  "

    The Japanese military staff officer said.

    Kenkawa Heiichiro took out a cigarette from his arms and lit itBurn.

    The moment he opened his mouth, you could see his teeth that had been burnt yellow.  He has been smoking cigarettes for decades and can definitely be considered an old smoker.

    After taking two strong puffs on the cigarette, Heiichiro Kenkawa said in a hoarse voice: "The enemy is nearby. Is there an artillery unit?"

    The Japanese staff officer shook his head and said: "Judging from the intelligence currently displayed, the enemy does not have artillery units. At the same time, their troops showed no signs of using artillery units when attacking our surrounding strongholds. They have more  It uses air force bombing, some of the mortars it carries, and small-caliber field artillery."

    Hearing this, Heiichiro Kenkawa shook the ashes of his cigarette and blew out a puff of white smoke from his mouth.

    "It would be much easier to handle without artillery. Order our artillery to immediately advance forward under the cover of infantry.

    With Dongling Town included in the firing range, our army needs to make good use of its own advantages to consume the enemy's effective strength to the greatest extent.

    We are not in a hurry in this battle, we can just fight it slowly.  Tell the engineering troops in the rear to start building supply warehouses nearby and transport logistics supplies from the Shandong area here.  "

    Although the reinforcement order given to him by Neji Okamura was very urgent, Heiichiro Kenkawa knew that the battle in northern Henan was just the beginning of a large-scale battle. In the future, this battle will last at least more than a month.  time.

    There is no need for him to show all the cards in his hand to the enemy at the beginning of the battle.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
