It is precisely because of this that these Japanese troops collapsed at the first touch, with almost no backhand power.
This also gave the staff of the First War Zone more confidence in attacking the Zhengzhou area.
At this time, in the staff headquarters, Commander Tang looked at the red areas marked on the maps, and a smile appeared on his lips.
Then he said very confidently: "He Xia Yang can recover the northern Henan and Pingjin areas, so how can I, Tang Enbo, not be able to recover the Zhengzhou area?
Even in Xuchang, Kaifeng, our first theater, we will fight a good battle this time. "
He was full of confidence, but he did not expect that at this moment, his troops were advancing into the trap dug by the Japanese army in advance.
To the west of Zhengzhou, the Japanese garrison has entered a defensive position.
However, when they entered these defensive positions, they did not deploy many troops in the central position.
But on the defensive positions on both wings, the Japanese army deployed two regiments of defensive forces.
However, the Japanese army is also very particular about defense strategies.
Taro Sakai asked them to do their best when resisting. But it has to spread its troops across multiple lines of defense.
A defensive position can only have one squadron at most.
Let the enemy win through a difficult battle when attacking them. Rather than collapse at the first touch.
Taro Sakai needs to use this method to give the people at the First Theater Command an illusion.
An illusion that they do not have enough troops on hand and can only choose to resist and delay their attack.
Taro Sakai has already analyzed that at this moment, the troops in the first theater are carrying out military operations so urgently because they must want to complete their success in one battle and recover the Zhengzhou area as quickly as possible.
And he needs to take advantage of the enemy's psychology to design a pocket formation.
In the middle of this pocket formation is what the First War Zone wants most - Zhengzhou!
Such a bait is absolutely full of temptation.
At the same time, this is also a temptation that Tang Enbo, as the commander-in-chief of the first theater, cannot refuse.
What's more, at this time, the Japanese army in Zhengzhou area was not strong enough. How could he give up such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?
However, when the hand of the First War Zone reached into this pocket, it was impossible for him to retract it.
Taro Sakai planned to use Zhengzhou as bait to attract the main force of the first theater to get into this pocket.
Then launch attacks from four directions to surround the enemy in this area.
Taro Sakai knows that the national army in the first theater is completely different from the Fourth Army in terms of weapons and equipment and combat literacy.
They are very cautious when dealing with the 4th Army, but they are very confident in defeating these national army troops in the first theater.
Because Taro Sakai had fought against the troops in the first theater in the previous Battle of Xuzhou.
He clearly knows the true combat effectiveness of these troops.
Even after all these years, he still believed that the combat effectiveness of these troops would not improve much.
At noon on this day, the 54th Division of the National Revolutionary Army, the vanguard unit of the First Theater Attack in Zhengzhou, was launched.
Under the leadership of division commander Zhang Changshan, we have arrived at Gaoshan Town in the west of Zhengzhou.
A Japanese squadron stationed here persisted for a whole morning, and then came under the fierce attack of the 54th Division. All were annihilated.
The battle was brutal. The soldiers of the 54th Division took three regiments of rotating attacks to capture Gaoshan Town with great effort.
Looking at the tragic battlefield, Zhang Changshan thought to himself, how did the men of the Fourth Army annihilate a Japanese brigade or even a division at every turn?
Why were the Japanese troops so vulnerable when they were in the hands of the Fourth Army?
Could it be that Xia Yang pretended to claim military merit? Killing common people for head count?
It¡¯s impossible, because the Japanese army newspapers also published this information.
There is no need for the Japanese to follow Xia Yang in making false claims.
After occupying Gaoshan Town, they can attack Shangjie.
And if Shangjie is attacked, Zhengzhou will be wide open.
The artillery unit in the first theater can evenThey were deployed in this area and bombarded the Japanese core defense positions on the outskirts of Zhengzhou.
On the flanks of the 54th Division, there are also the 63rd and 64th Divisions of the National Army.
But the attacks of these two armies were not as smooth as the attack of the 54th Division.
They encountered stubborn resistance from the enemy on both wings, but this did not affect their advancement, but the speed was much slower than that of the 54th Division.
The three divisions of the National Army that participated in the frontal attack all felt the resistance of the Japanese army on the front, which seemed completely different from the small Japanese troops they encountered before.
In the afternoon, troops of the 54th Division continued to attack the Xiangjie area.
However, the Japanese resistance encountered subsequently became weaker.
Its size is often only one squad, or even half a squad.
Some Japanese troops even broke into pieces and started guerrilla warfare with them.
But the strength and intensity of its resistance have dropped a lot.
It seems that all the Japanese troops in Gaoshan Town were wiped out, which also reduced their will to resist.
Zhang Changshan had some doubts in his heart, because in his impression, the Japanese army was extremely powerful in combat and had a very tenacious will to fight.
But now it seems that the Japanese army¡¯s will to resist has dropped a lot.
Is it possible that after the original Class A divisions were transferred to the Pacific battlefield, the combat effectiveness of these supplementary reserve divisions dropped a lot?
He sent this concern via telegram to the First Theater Commander's Department.
But after Tang Enbo saw such a telegram, he immediately issued an order to speed up the advance, because in Tang Enbo's view, this was a sign that the Japanese army had exhausted its strength.
Tang Enbo even transferred two reserve divisions directly to Zhang Changshan.
Let him lead three divisions and launch a fierce attack directly towards the Shangjie area of ??Zhengzhou.
He was ordered to attack the streets within three days.
The military orders were overwhelming, and Zhang Changshan did not dare to delay them.
What's more, allowing him to command three divisions of troops in combat at once showed Tang Enbo's great trust in him.
He doesn¡¯t want to betray this trust, and he also wants to use this battle to wash away the shame of repeated defeats in the past.
"A good man, who doesn't want to make great achievements and become famous?"
And now the opportunity is right in front of him, and he doesn't want to let it go.
So in the evening of that day, he took over the command of the other two divisions and began to lead the main force to launch a full-scale attack directly on the Shangjie area.
