"All troops in the first theater immediately began to launch attacks in accordance with the previously formulated battle plan to seize Zhengzhou. All troops must arrive at the combat area on time, otherwise they will be subject to military law!!"
Commander Tang issued the combat order on the day the Chairman sent the telegram.
After waiting for more than half a month, the various troops in the first theater finally received such a combat order that should have been issued long ago.
On the south bank of the Yellow River, there were no troops of the Fourth Army at this time. Only the more than 100,000 Nationalist troops in the first theater were left, and they launched an attack on the Japanese troops in the Zhengzhou area.
This time the Japanese army crossed the river and indeed mobilized most of their troops.
But even so, they still have an elite division in the Zhengzhou area. In addition to the original puppet troops in Zhengzhou, there are other garrison troops and security forces.
The Japanese army was also able to organize about 50,000 troops in a short period of time.
In the first theater, he had sufficient confidence in defeating these Japanese troops.
In their opinion, the real elite of the Japanese army have already left Zhengzhou to fight on the north bank of the Yellow River. What they have to face is the Japanese army with poor combat effectiveness.
At the same time, the Fourth Army's successive victories against the Japanese army also gave them a feeling.
The Japanese troops on the opposite side may no longer be what they used to be. They had spent this period of time recharging their energy, and maybe they could have a head-on encounter with the Japanese army.
What's more, at this time, the number of troops dispatched in the first theater was fully 150,000, which was three times the number of Japanese troops.
The huge advantage in military strength gave the national army commanders in the first theater of operations full confidence in this counterattack.
In the first war zone in Henan, 150,000 people, after receiving the order to set off that day, successively advanced towards the Zhengzhou area.
In addition to Zhengzhou, Xuchang, located in the south of Zhengzhou, is also within their attack range.
They wanted to occupy this place, cut off the Japanese army's retreat, and then concentrate their forces to complete a pincer attack on the Zhengzhou area.
The trends in the first theater of operations were reported to Taro Sakai on the same day.
He looked at the telegram, then looked at the Yellow River in the distance, and knew that the number of troops left in Zhengzhou at this time was indeed somewhat small.
But the enemy on the other side has already taken the initiative to retreat. If they don't seize this opportunity and cross the Yellow River next time, they don't know how long it will take.
What¡¯s more, they paid nearly 10,000 casualties in this battle across the river.
This number of casualties is absolutely terrifying, because this river-crossing battle actually lasted only more than a day.
At this time, there were even corpses of Japanese soldiers floating on the Yellow River.
The blood flowing out dyed the entire section of the Yellow River blood red.
On the beaches on both sides of the Yellow River, there were countless corpses of Japanese soldiers. One after another, the height of the river beach has almost been raised a lot.
Until now, after their main force has completed crossing the river, they still have many corpses and cannot contain them.
"What should we do?" asked the Japanese staff officer next to him. "Should we continue fighting in northern Henan, or should we send troops back to support Zhengzhou."
Taro Sakai said: "The commander of the troops in the first theater is Tang Enbo. I have fought with him before. This man is the most slippery in fighting and cannot fight a tough battle.
I will also personally direct the defensive operations in the Zhengzhou area. This time I will use the 50,000 remaining troops to defeat the enemy's attack of more than 100,000 people. "
He thought to himself, if I can't defeat Xia Yang's troops, is it possible that I can't defeat your Tang Enbo's troops?
¡°Do you really think anyone can step on the head of our Empire of Japan?
After the Japanese army crossed the Yellow River, Xia Yang's troops in the Hebi area also began to carry out previously scheduled operations.
Their detouring troops on the flanks of the Japanese army successfully blocked the Japanese armored forces' retreat to the Anyang area. The highway over there has been completely occupied by more than 10,000 people from the Eighth Route Army.
They carry a large number of anti-tank weapons and are supported by air forces.
Directly blocked the main force of the Japanese armored force of more than 10,000 people in the Linzhou area.
As for the retreat to Shanxi and Xinxiang areas, it was blocked by Xia Yang's armored division.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?At that time, the commander of the Japanese armored forces once asked Yuri Ogawa for instructions on how to conduct the next step of the operation.
Lily Ogawa said to let them break through to the Anyang area. Join their main force.
But after his armored troops tried to charge five times, they found that their armored troops were unable to break through the enemy's infantry positions.
Because these infantrymen are not much different from them in terms of quantity. And it is equipped with a large number of anti-tank weapons.
Whether it is anti-tank rocket launchers, portable flat-fire guns, a large number of mortars and small-caliber mountain guns, anti-tank mines, or even close-range sticky bombs, etc.
It has become a nightmare for these Japanese armored units. Those weapons specially designed to deal with armored vehicles and tanks caused these Japanese armored units to leave dozens of tanks and armored vehicle wreckage in front of the infantry positions.
Not only that, they also have the support of the air force.
Various types of bombers and fighter jets dropped bombs at low altitudes directly at the Japanese tanks and armored vehicles.
??And the wings of both fighters and bombers are also equipped with 30mm caliber cannons. Under the roar of the cannons, the thickness of the top armor of the Japanese tanks and armored vehicles is simply unable to withstand it.
These small-caliber artillery shells, after penetrating the top armor of tanks and armored vehicles, exploded directly inside the vehicle cabin.
This caused many Japanese soldiers to be killed and injured by the fragments generated by the explosion inside the vehicle cabin.
There are many tanks and armored vehicles that have not even touched the infantry positions. It had been reduced to pieces by ground and air fire.
The commander of the Japanese armored forces would never have thought of this. Their armored troops were actually blocked by the enemy's infantry.
Especially from Linzhou area to Anyang, this is the only road. They wanted to take a detour, but there were mountains all around. People could go around it, but tanks and armored vehicles couldn't go around it.
There is no other way. The Japanese armored vehicle commander can only build a defensive position on the spot. They used excavators and bulldozers converted from tanks to quickly construct fortifications.
At the same time, he began to send telegrams to Lily Ogawa, asking her to immediately provide military support to him. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
