Of course, at this time, the Ping-Han Railway was also paralyzed.
Because Xinxiang has been occupied, Xia Yang's troops have begun to advance towards the Zhengzhou area.
After clearing the remaining Japanese troops on the north bank of the Yellow River, they will choose the opportunity to cross the Yellow River and launch a fierce attack on the Japanese troops stationed in Zhengzhou.
The one who took over the defense of Anyang City was none other than the New Second Regiment led by Kong Jie.
He and Xia Yang are old friends. They fought side by side many times when they were in Shanxi.
And Kong Jie¡¯s army also continued to grow and develop during this process. At this time, the strength of a regiment was even greater than that of a brigade.
During yesterday¡¯s ambush of the Japanese troops in Xingtai, Kong Jie¡¯s new regiment captured a lot.
Afterwards, his troops barely got any rest before they were ordered by the Eighth Route Army headquarters to immediately enter Anyang and take over the defense there.
At the same time, Kong Jie was ordered to set up a defense line in the north of Anyang, because the Japanese troops would inevitably move south to attack Anyang.
At the same time, Ding Wei's new regiment, Li Yunlong's independent regiment, also began to set off from the Hebei area towards Anyang to support Kong Jie.
These three troops, in terms of designation, are just three regiments.
But the regiments of the Eighth Route Army are often severely flooded.
The military establishment of the national army is often due to the problem of empty pay, resulting in the actual number of personnel being far less than the number on paper.
The Eighth Route Army is just the opposite. They often have a regiment, and there may be seven or eight battalions attached to it. Each battalion may have seven or eight companies, and each company may even have five or six platoons.
This leads to the combat order of a main regiment of the Eighth Route Army, which may even reach 5,000, 6,000, or even tens of thousands of people.
That¡¯s right, this main group of tens of thousands of people is Li Yunlong¡¯s independent group.
This guy is good at fighting, and he is also good at obscene growth.
He was the first Eighth Route Army unit to fight in Shanxi with Xia Yang's troops. Participated in several large-scale battles.
It was during this process that Li Yunlong's troops were expanded several times. He used the captured equipment to rapidly expand the size of his independent regiment. By the time he arrived in Hebei, one of his regiments was even as powerful as a division.
If it weren¡¯t for their brigade commander who took away a lot of equipment from the independent regiment, Li Yunlong could even arm an artillery battalion of his own with the captured equipment.
But these are not problems. The arrival of these three main regiments of the Eighth Route Army will definitely raise the defense of the Anyang area to a higher level.
Even if time is short, with the help of a howitzer regiment assigned to them by Xia Yang and the air force that can support them at any time, it is enough for them to resist the Japanese onslaught.
After Anyang and Xinxiang were completely attacked. Both China and Japan have reached a tacit agreement to stop launching any large-scale attacks.
Because at this moment, both sides are deploying their troops and then starting the next round of fighting.
This is like a chess game. In the first round, the Japanese army lost to Xia Yang. But neither side was discouraged or relaxed, and instead actively prepared strategies for the next game of chess.
The Japanese army chose to dispatch a large number of Japanese troops from the Kwantung Army, as well as Shandong, Anhui, Jiangsu, Hebei, Pingjin and other regions to increase reinforcements to northern Henan, Zhengzhou and other regions.
The scale of this battle was very large, and the Japanese base camp also realized the seriousness of the problem.
They do not intend to let the Fourth Army attack, and they cannot give up Henan.
However, the Japanese base camp was unable to mobilize all the elite Japanese troops from the Pacific battlefield.
Because the Americans are also actively preparing for war.
Their battleships and aircraft carriers were lined up like dumplings to form a fleet. The establishment of each new fleet made the staff officers at the Japanese base camp lament that their country's industrial strength was really far behind that of the US military.
Not only that, American tanks, fighter jets, bombers, transport aircraft, and even various artillery pieces, as well as a large number of small arms, are also produced from the factory production lines day and night.
A large number of factories in the United States, when the war began, could produce the parts needed for military equipment by simply adjusting the factory production lines.
These parts are then transported to the military factory.?Assembled together, they are weapons capable of killing people.
The Japanese army did not dare to slack off, even at this time, they were still making great progress on the Pacific battlefield. But they know that if they cannot turn this advantage into a victory in a short period of time and the Americans have to slow down, they will suffer a lot in the future.
Therefore, the assistance provided by the Japanese base camp to the North China Expeditionary Force is more of assistance in weapons and equipment. At the same time, the Kwantung Army was also allowed by the base camp, allowing Neji Okamura to deploy it as appropriate.
For Okamura Neji, his original confidence in winning this battle was not that full.
However, now that the base camp has given him such great command power, Okamura Neji also knows that he will never lose to Xia Yang in terms of hard power this time.
He dispatched troops from various regions and began to use roads, railways, and even transport planes to rush to the Henan area.
On the Shandong side, a total of four brigades were mobilized and handed over to Heiichiro Kenkawa for command. This is already more troops than a division.
In the Xingtai area, the forces of three reorganized divisions of the Japanese army were assembled in a short period of time. Together with other attached troops, the Japanese army assembled in this area on the seventh day of the operation in the northern Henan area. A combat force of about 100,000 people was formed.
As for the Zhengzhou area, Xia Yang's troops have deployed their troops to the north and west of Zhengzhou. Presenting a semi-surrounded situation.
He assembled a cavalry division, an armored division, and two infantry divisions in the Zhengzhou area.
In addition to other subordinate troops, as well as local troops subsequently dispatched from the western Henan region, there are also guerrilla troops that have been active in the Henan region for a long time, and New Fourth Army troops.
Xia Yang also assembled more than 100,000 troops in Zhengzhou and northern Henan.
Of course, if the national army troops in the first theater of war can join this battle immediately. Their combat troops in this area will exceed 200,000, or even more.
However, after four or five days of preparation, the national combat troops in the first theater still did not receive the order to go up the mountain to fight the Japanese army.
