On the other hand, the Japanese army has dispatched more than two reorganized divisions from Anhui and Jiangsu areas and arrived in the Zhengzhou area.
Coupled with the Japanese troops originally stationed in Henan, the Japanese army also assembled more than 150,000 troops in this area.
The commanders of both sides are ready to show off their wealth and fight you to the death.
Such large-scale mobilization of troops is rare in the entire history of the Anti-Japanese War.
The Japanese army mobilized forces on such a large scale. It took several large-scale battles such as the Battle of Songhu, the Battle of Xuzhou, and the Battle of Wuhan to mobilize such a large force.
Telegrams from the Japanese army to increase their troops were piled on Xia Yang's desk one after another.
????????????If it were other national army commanders who were replaced by the news of the Japanese army's troop surge, they might become more and more nervous.
But for Xia Yang, the more Japanese troops increase, the happier he will be.
Because this is the result that Xia Yang wants to see. He wishes that the Japanese army would dispatch all the Kwantung Army to the pass. Then his army marched directly from the Chahar area to recover the three eastern provinces.
"In just one week, the Japanese army has gone to the Henan area and assembled about 400,000 troops. And judging from the intelligence obtained, the enemy is continuing to dispatch soldiers.
¡°Obviously, they plan to have a large-scale battle with us in the northern Henan region this time. "Hao Shiwen handed a telegram into Xia Yang's hands.
That was a message from a brigade stationed in the Pingjin area, taking a train to the Dezhou area.
¡°Obviously, the Japanese army felt that the forces they had assembled in the Dezhou and Hebi areas were still too few. They plan to gather more troops in various areas.
This ensures that your own troops can form a numerical advantage over Xia Yang's troops in all directions.
Xia Yang said with a smile: "It's good to be here. The Japanese army has three divisions in the Pingjin area. In such a period of time, a reorganized division has been dispatched. With this brigade, the Japanese army in the Pingjin area will be an additional force." There are no more than 50,000 puppet troops."
"Why, military commander, you are also interested in the Pingjin area." Hao Shiwen said with a smile.
Xia Yang shook his head and said: "No, the Pingjin area is the enemy's heart. Now is not the time to fight. But we can use this to disrupt the Japanese army's military deployment."
"The number of Japanese troops gathered in northern Henan now must be hundreds of thousands." Hao Shiwen said.
??
"When the time comes, will you still stay in Northern Henan?" Hao Shiwen asked.
Xia Yang stretched and said, "I want to stay here. Lily Ogawa is here, and I want to meet her now. You can take a flight back to Shanxi tonight. The offensive there will be left to you."
"Don't worry, military commander!" Hao Shiwen said proudly.
At this time, Okamura Neiji has realized that if their troops are taken out alone to fight Xia Yang's troops, they will basically not have an advantage, or even be at a disadvantage.
Because the enemy's troops are better than them in terms of individual soldier quality, weapons and equipment, etc.
Therefore, Okamura Neiji will deploy more troops in all directions to ensure his numerical advantage.
¡°However, there is indeed a serious lack of information on Okamura Neji¡¯s side.
Because Xia Yang's offensive was too fierce, the troops advanced very fast. Let Okamura Neiji and his staff officers try to deduce how many troops Xia Yang has assembled in the northern Henan region.
In the end, they settled on a rough figure.
That is the actual force Xia Yang has assembled in the northern Henan region, which should be around 200,000. Coupled with the Eighth Route Army troops who reinforced them, their actual strength should be more than 250,000.
This is the result of careful verification by the Japanese military staff.
At first, they were skeptical about this number, but if this was not the case, they could not explain why the enemy was able to launch such a large-scale operation and capture several major cities at the same time.
Not only that, they even have extra troops to block reinforcements coming from three directions. They even annihilated or disabled two of the supporting soldiers.
This forced the Japanese military staff to re-evaluate Xia Yang's troop strength.
With 250,000 troops in northern Henan, Okamura Neiji decided that his military strength in northern Henan should be at least 300,000 or even 400,000.
To assemble such a large-scale force, he needs sufficient power to mobilize troops. The Japanese Army's General Staff Headquarters also knew that this battle was of great importance, so it also gave him ample power to mobilize troops.
At this time, the Kwantung Army, the North China Expedition Army, the East China Expedition Army, and even some Japanese troops in South China were all under the command of Okamura Neiji.
And Okamura Neiji handed over the command of the battle in northern Henan to Yuri Ogawa.
I have to say that Okamura Neji¡¯s decision is very bold.
After all, Lily Ogawa¡¯s experience in commanding large-scale operations was actually only a battle with Xia Yang¡¯s Fourth Army in Lingshan Town a few months ago.
In that battle, the Japanese army lost more troops, but overall, it was a draw.
In the post-war assessment, Okamura Neiji also reached a consensus with other staff officers.
That is, if that battle is led by other commanders, it is very likely that one's own troops will be wiped out.
This is really because there are not many generals available to Neji Okamura.
Many Japanese generals with rich actual combat experience were deployed to the Pacific battlefield. There is already the new strategic center of gravity of the Japanese army.
But this time Okamura Neji is still full of confidence.
After the defeat in Shanxi, Okamura Neji felt that his side did not receive sufficient military support. But now he definitely has much more troops than Xia Yang.
This gave Okamura Neji the confidence to compete with Xia Yang again.
In Xingtai, which is only a few dozen kilometers away from Anyang, Japanese troops from all walks of life have already assembled in the surrounding area.
For the local people, this is nothing short of a disaster.
However, there is always a suppressed smile on the faces of these people.
Because they have heard the news one after another, Xia Yang's Fourth Army successfully captured Anyang last week. This gave the people who had been in the occupied areas for a long time a glimmer of hope.
Today, Xingtai City is under martial law.
The elite soldiers of the Japanese army stood on both sides of the street and no common people were allowed to go out. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
