It turned out to be a formation of bombers and fighter jets from the Fourth Army.
Nearly a hundred fighter jets and bombers formed two huge flight formations, passing directly over the Yellow River and the river beach at low altitude.
Amid the roar of fighter and bomber engines, the heavy machine guns on both sides of the wings began to roar.
The bomber's magazine also opened at this time, and aerial bombs and napalm bombs were thrown directly onto the water of the Yellow River below, or next to the river beach.
Even the river-crossing troops behind the Japanese army were within their bombing range.
The sudden arrival of bombers and fighter jets once again greatly enhanced the firepower of the Fourth Army.
Those heavy machine gun bullets hit the surface of the Yellow River, causing a series of sprays to form.
It hits a person's body and brings out a bunch of blood flowers.
As for the more powerful aerial bombs, they caused huge water waves after the explosion.
The rafts on which the surrounding Japanese troops were riding were knocked over directly into the water.
Seeing the support of these air force units, Taro Sakai shouted: "All the heavy machine guns and anti-aircraft guns on the defensive side immediately opened fire on those fighters and bombers and shot them all down."
This time, following the arrival of the Japanese army, there were also some Japanese anti-aircraft firepower, as well as a large number of Japanese heavy machine guns, and they began to aim their guns at the air force of the Fourth Army.
The Japanese bullets and anti-aircraft shells began to shoot at the Fourth Army aircraft flying through the sky.
But these firepower could not stop the Fourth Army's bombing of the Japanese army.
Even some bomber formations and fighter formations began to focus their bombing on the machine gun positions and anti-aircraft gun positions deployed by the Japanese army on the south bank of the Yellow River.
With the fire support of aircraft, the Japanese army's crossing of the river became more difficult.
The key is that this is only the first batch of bomber and fighter formations.
Soon, the second and third batches of air fire support will arrive, and they will become a nightmare for the Japanese army.
As for the north bank of the Yellow River, other troops of the Third Division also began to gather here.
They will build defensive positions on the shore and launch fierce fire at the Japanese troops from the flanks, causing more Japanese troops to die in the process of crossing the river.
But Taro Sakai did not issue an order to stop crossing the river at all.
Because a large part of his task when crossing the river this time was to attract the attention of the third division.
In the Kaifeng area, their other two divisions have basically completed crossing the river.
And in that direction, they were not attacked by the third division's shore defense firepower.
Because it was basically under the control of the Japanese army.
If Xia Yang¡¯s armored division is still in the Hebi area.
Then, after learning that the Japanese army in the Kaifeng area has completed crossing the river, they can go directly south to launch a fierce attack on the two Japanese divisions and push them back to the south bank of the Yellow River.
But now, the armored division has been dispatched to the Linzhou area to engage in a fierce battle with the Japanese armored forces.
Therefore, there is no way to support them, and the airborne division that has been deployed does have limited strength.
With the Japanese army on the front, after crossing the river for a whole morning, Wei Xing received a telegram.
That telegram was reported by a small group of troops he sent to the south bank of the Yellow River.
It is said that traces of a large number of Japanese military activities were found in the Kaifeng area.
They had apparently completed crossing the river and were approaching the Xinxiang area.
After receiving such a telegram, Wei Xing knew that the Japanese troops crossing the river frontally were only attracting their firepower, while the Japanese troops actually crossing the river were in the Kaifeng area.
After receiving such a telegram, he immediately sent a telegram to Xia Yang and reported the situation to him.
This was already expected by Xia Yang.
Because after his armored division was transferred, he had already had a premonition that the Japanese army would definitely take action in the Yellow River area.
Soon, Xia Yang issued an order to Wei Xing's third division.
Let them temporarily retreat from the north bank of the Yellow River and enter the area defense of Xinxiang.
During this period, they also built a large number of fortifications in the northern area of ??Xinxiang.
It is to prevent the south bank of the Yellow River fromThe Japanese army conducted a cross-river operation.
After giving the order to Wei Xing, Xia Yang immediately sent a telegram to the chairman.
The content of the telegram was for the Chairman to immediately order Chief Tang to march towards the Zhengzhou area.
Because the Japanese troops in Zhengzhou are now concentrated on the south bank of the Yellow River and are conducting cross-river operations.
The actual number of Japanese troops remaining in the Zhengzhou area is less than one division.
Now Commander Tang¡¯s army of more than 100,000 people is launching a fierce attack directly on Zhengzhou, and it is very likely that Zhengzhou will be captured.
Such a telegram was quickly placed in front of the Chairman.
When the Chairman saw the telegram sent by Xia Yang, he nodded with great satisfaction.
Because it is in his interest to capture Zhengzhou.
Moreover, the Japanese army in the Zhengzhou area crossed the Yellow River to attack Xia Yang's Fourth Army, which could also weaken Xia Yang's military strength to a great extent.
This is what the Chairman wants to see. He does not want Xia Yang to be too powerful, powerful enough to threaten his dominance.
And now that the Japanese army has concentrated its main forces on the north bank of the Yellow River, Commander Tang's troops will have an opportunity to take advantage of it.
He immediately sent a telegram telling Commander Tang that he would immediately enter the Zhengzhou area and must capture Zhengzhou.
Even Kaifeng must be tried to attack.
Because a large number of the enemy's troops have completed crossing the river, the enemy's troops remaining on the south bank of the Yellow River are already very weak.
Commander Tang has been waiting for such a telegram for a long time.
He did this naturally not to help Xia Yang.
In fact, Xia Yang's life and death has nothing to do with him.
But now Xia Yang's troops have attracted all the Japanese troops in the Zhengzhou area.
Then, it gave him the opportunity to attack Zhengzhou.
When Xia Yang¡¯s troops besieged Zhengzhou.
Commander Tang once thought about whether to send troops to help Xia Yang.
However, in the end he chose not to send troops.
On the one hand, it was because the chairman of the committee did not send a telegram to urge him.
On the other hand, it was because even with Xia Yang's troops, they jointly attacked Zhengzhou.
It is unclear whether Zhengzhou belongs to their first war zone or whether it belongs to Xia Yang.
But now Xia Yang's troops have withdrawn to the north bank of the Yellow River.
So now their troops in the first theater will attack Zhengzhou directly.
There is no longer any dispute about the ownership of Zhengzhou, and even such a credit will not fall on Xia Yang's head. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
