    In the city of Zhengzhou, Taro Sakai, the top commander of the Japanese army in the Zhengzhou area, was awakened from his sleep by the roar of artillery.

    He arrived here by plane a week ago.

    At this time, several divisions and brigades in the Zhengzhou area were under his command.  There are four divisions in total, and two integrated brigades.

    Together with the puppet troops, the number of combat troops he can command has exceeded 150,000.

    As an experienced commander who has participated in the Songhu Battle and the Wuhan Battle in South China, it is not so unfamiliar to Taro Sakai that he only knows how to fight with so many troops.

    After he arrived in Zhengzhou, he began to formulate a battle plan.

    In the end, Taro Sakai decided to take a defensive position and wait for Yuri Ogawa to the north to lead the troops of the four reorganized divisions to break through the enemy's defense line in the north before he launched an active attack on the enemy.

    He expected that the enemy would launch a fierce attack on Zhengzhou.  But he didn't expect that this attack would come so violently.

    He Changxing and Xia Yang's heavy artillery troops on the north bank have even bombarded the Japanese city wall with artillery shells.

    "General, the enemies in the west have launched a fierce attack on our army. Now our first line of defense is under attack."

    Said Taro Sakai¡¯s personal adviser.

    Wearing pajamas and dragging clogs, Sakai Taro hurriedly walked towards the headquarters.

    "How is the situation at the first line of defense?" Taro Sakai asked as he walked.

    The staff officer said: "At present, it is relatively stable. The enemy's infantry units have not launched an attack yet. Only the artillery is bombarding."

    Taro Sakai sneered: "That's good, gather all the staff of the staff immediately."

    By the time he walked into the headquarters, the staff office was already full of people.

    The staff of the Japanese joint command in the Zhengzhou area basically came to the command at this time.

    Seeing this scene, Taro Sakai nodded with great satisfaction, and then said: "Yes, it seems that everyone has tightened their nerves."

    After saying that, he smiled, pushed through the crowd, and came to the command table.

    At this time, on the huge combat sand table on the command table, several staff officers had begun to place red flags symbolizing the enemy on the positions that had been shelled.

    "These positions that are under shelling should be the first to be attacked by enemy infantry units. But our army should not rush to support. The enemy has an absolute advantage in night battles, and we cannot mobilize troops to support at will.

    Otherwise, once a gap is revealed, enemy troops will get in and cause greater damage to our defense line.  "

    A Japanese military staff officer said.

    Taro Sakai nodded and said: "You are right, our army cannot move out at will without knowing the specific direction of the enemy's attack.

    Order the mobile troops on the front line to provide support at the nearest location and not to support across regions at will.  No matter which position is lost, do not rush to counterattack.

    daytime!  Daytime is the best time for our army to counterattack.  How many positions of our army have they eaten at night? During the day, I will make them spit them out with profit.  "

    After saying that, he slapped the table hard.

    "By the way, the enemy's artillery positions in the north have also begun to bombard our army. Our army's heavy artillery troops do not dare to counterattack casually, for fear of becoming the target of enemy artillery bombardment." said the Japanese staff officer.

    Taro Sakai said: "The Yellow River is currently in flood season, and it is not easy for the enemy to cross the river. The river defense troops deployed by our army on the Yellow River only need to stick to their positions."

    As he said this, he showed a confident smile.

    "yes!!"

    At this time, Taro Sakai's calmness gave the members of the Japanese Army Staff great confidence.

    Because of their continuous failures in the battle against the Fourth Army, they were more or less panicked when facing the attack of the Fourth Army.

    Now I see Taro Sakai is so calm, and there is even a relaxed smile on his lips.

    The nervousness of these Japanese staff officers has also been greatly relieved.

    Taro Sakai¡¯s way of dealing with the attack of the four armies was actually not very sophisticated.  It is the simplest way to cope with all changes by remaining unchanged.

    Because he firmly believes that his defense in the Zhengzhou area is already very stable.  Even if the enemy comes from the north at the same time, there are still?Facing their attack, they would lose at most a quarter of their peripheral positions.

    By daytime, the enemy lost the advantage of night fighting.  They can immediately launch a counterattack and regain the positions lost at night.

    Because Taro Sakai¡¯s troops are abundant, Japanese troops in South China, Jiangsu, Anhui and other regions are still gathering here.

    The number of troops in his hands will only increase.  Taro Sakai has the strength to launch uninterrupted counterattacks against the enemy.

    After their discussion ended, the shelling gradually ended.

    But everyone in the headquarters knows that this is the official start of the Fourth Army's attack.

    Their infantry and armored units will definitely take advantage of their ability to fight at night and launch ferocious attacks on their positions.

    The fact is that as the Japanese expected, He Changxing's ground troops launched a fierce attack on the Japanese positions.

    Those main force groups fought the most fiercely because they had fought against the Japanese army many times and had a deep understanding of the Japanese army¡¯s defensive position layout and combat habits.

    As for the security teams, they are a bit unfamiliar.

    Because many of their soldiers were actually on the battlefield for the first time.

    Even when fighting in Shanxi, they were only reserve troops.  Before they could go up, the main force had already beaten the little Japanese troops into disgrace, and they had no chance of actual combat.

    But a lot of training and exercises have given these security groups a good combat effectiveness.

    After their brief contact with the Japanese army, they quickly adapted to the cruel environment of the battlefield.

    Many of these Japanese troops in the Zhengzhou area fought against the Fourth Army for the first time.

    They had only heard before that this unit was very terrifying and should be the most powerful unit in China.

    But they don¡¯t have a very specific concept, because they have basically been able to win in battles with the national army before.  There are even many times when the weak defeats the strong with less.

    So when they heard that the four armies attacking them had more powerful combat power than them, they were somewhat unconvinced.

    Many Japanese commanders even wanted their soldiers to take the initiative to attack the Fourth Army positions.

    But Taro Sakai¡¯s order was very firm. The garrison troops on any position were not allowed to take the initiative to attack, otherwise military law would be enforced.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
