Xia Yang sneered and said: "It doesn't matter. Originally, they did not exist in my plan. If they join the battlefield rashly, they might disrupt my original deployment."
Wei Xing said: "Then when will our army launch an attack on Zhengzhou?"
Xia Yang said: "Aren't all the boats crossing the river ready? Tell He Changxing to dispatch his entire army at twelve o'clock tonight to launch a fierce attack on Zhengzhou.
At the same time, our army left a howitzer regiment on the north bank of the Yellow River and launched a fierce shelling on the Japanese troops on the other side, making a posture of attacking them.
At the same time, the main force, taking advantage of the cover of darkness, circled towards Kaifeng. We crossed the Yellow River between Kaifeng and Zhengzhou, bypassing the Japanese defense on the other side. "
"But the ship" Wei Xing was a little worried.
Xia Yang smiled and said: "The ships are ready. The ships we are preparing now were originally used to confuse the Japanese army."
"Building the plank road openly? Secretly attacking Chencang?" Wei Xing said.
Xia Yang said: "That's right, Old Wei, you now understand the art of war."
Wei Xing immediately patted his chest and said, "Military, I've never eaten pork, haven't I seen a pig running?" As he said that, he laughed.
To the west of Zhengzhou, ten kilometers away from the Japanese peripheral defense positions, He Changxing's temporary headquarters has been set up here.
At this time, in his headquarters, several main commanders of the First Division have already arrived.
In addition to these regiment commanders and brigade commanders, the leaders of four security regiments in western Henan and the leaders of three reserve regiments also came here.
Now there is no difference between a combat group and a security group. All troops will join the frontal battlefield.
The first division, plus some troops assigned to him by Xia Yang, as well as these security groups and reserve groups. At this time, the number of troops under the command of He Changxing exceeded 40,000.
On the opposite side, Zhengzhou also has a defensive force of more than 50,000 people.
Not only that, around Zhengzhou, the Japanese army also assembled a large number of troops during this period.
They have two brigades to the south of Zhengzhou as supplementary forces, and two integrated brigades in Kaifeng at the rear, which can support Zhengzhou at any time.
On the other hand, on He Changxing's side, on this side of the Yellow River, they are the only ones who can fight the Japanese army head-on.
As for Commander Tang¡¯s troops, although there are more than 100,000, they have been preparing for battle for some reason. Even now, there has been no movement.
¡°The chairman of the committee seemed to be indifferent to this and acquiesced in his behavior.
¡°We will receive a large amount of air fire support. In addition, the heavy artillery troops on the other side will also provide us with fire support.
So, although on paper, our strength is not as good as the Japanese army opposite us. But in terms of firepower, our army even has a great advantage.
¡°In particular, our army is equipped with a large amount of night combat equipment. Therefore, if our army attacks tonight, we will definitely be able to make great progress. "
He Changxing pointed at the map very confidently and said.
His confidence also infected other commanders in the headquarters.
Some of the security groups here actually have no experience fighting the Japanese army.
But their training and equipment are actually very different from regular combat troops.
The possible shortcoming is that they lack experience in fighting the Japanese army.
"The little devil's troops have established defensive positions early. If our army attacks from the front, I'm afraid the effect will not be too great. So after discussing with the staff, I felt that we can make more use of the Japanese army's gaps on the flanks and use The armored troops outflanked them.
What do you think? "He Changxing looked at the crowd and said.
The group leaders all looked at each other, then nodded.
Seeing everyone like this, He Changxing waved his hands and said: "If you have any questions, just ask, everyone can speak freely."
"We will really have air force support?" asked a security group leader.
For him, this is definitely a rare thing.
"Of course, hundreds of fighters and bombers will not dare to do anything tonight. They are here to support our operations. Didn't we send scouts to each regiment before?
They guide the air force troops to invest at night.??Bombed. "He Changxing said.
"It would be much easier if we had the firepower support of the air force to attack the enemy's bunkers and fortifications." The head of the security group pondered.
He Changxing said: "If there are no problems, everyone should prepare for action according to the previous battle plan."
"yes!!"
The group leaders said in unison and began to prepare for action according to the established plan.
As the night grew darker, the Japanese troops were in defensive positions on the outskirts of Zhengzhou, and all the soldiers were ready.
Their intelligence department is not a vegetarian either. At the forward observation post, signs of troop mobilization on the First Division's side were also discovered.
Therefore, the Japanese troops in the forward positions have received orders in advance to beware of enemy night attacks.
In front of the Japanese position, a flare would rise into the air every ten minutes.
The Japanese army is different from the Fourth Army in that they do not have thermal sensing devices or night vision devices. Their means of reconnaissance at night are very limited, usually searchlights and flares.
But using these things will also expose the location of their positions to the enemy, which is actually a double-edged sword.
The troops of the First Division have begun to quietly advance towards these Japanese defensive positions out of sight of the Japanese army.
On their military maps, the specific locations of Japanese positions were marked in detail.
The reason why such a detailed military deployment can be obtained is mainly because the Fourth Army is equipped with advanced instruments and a large number of air forces, which conduct repeated reconnaissance of Japanese positions.
At this time, the Japanese army's defensive deployment in the west of Zhengzhou was basically clearly understood by them.
After arriving at the predetermined combat position, the troops of the First Division did not rush to attack, but patiently waited for the artillery bombardment.
According to the previously formulated combat plan, two howitzer regiments and one mountain artillery regiment will take the lead in violently bombarding the Japanese army.
In addition, the air force will also bomb Japanese targets under the guidance of ground reconnaissance personnel.
After this series of attacks is over, it is time for their infantry units to launch an attack.
Two armored regiments and one motorized infantry regiment planned to attack the Japanese army in a roundabout way along the Yellow River beach.
The purpose of this is, on the one hand, to create a posture to assist the landing of the Fourth Army troops on the north bank of the Yellow River, and at the same time, to attract the Japanese defense forces on the front.
