    Because the attacks on both wings were relatively slow, Zhang Changshan's troops seemed to be advancing alone.

    However, according to their scouts, there are not many enemy troops on both wings, so they don't have to worry about being flanked by the enemy from three sides.

    It is these reasons that made his troops march forward with great success, all the way eastward.

    Outside Anyang City, the artillery fire was getting closer and closer to the core defense circle of the Japanese army in Anyang City.

    A day-long offensive during the day made the Japanese troops stationed in Anyang City feel strong offensive pressure.

    The offensive of the Fourth Army was fierce, and the troop penetration was extremely fast.

    This made the Japanese army, which had relatively poor maneuverability, seem a little overwhelmed in the face of this roundabout tactic.

    In order to deal with this situation, Japanese commanders generally choose to shrink the defense circle.  This allows the various units to better coordinate and avoid being surrounded by the enemy after being detoured and interspersed.

    But the Japanese commanders who have done this before have proven that this is the purpose of the Fourth Army.

    After they narrowed their defense circle, they instead used large forces from the Fourth Army to concentrate on annihilating them.

    Therefore, Lily Ogawa did not choose this method of combat.

    She chose the anti-interpenetration tactic to allow the troops of both sides to interlock, even to the point where you have me among you, and you have me among you.

    This tactic was initially strongly opposed by the Japanese military staff.

    They believe that this tactic is very risky. Once something goes wrong, their troops who penetrate the enemy's side and rear will be no different from killing people.

    But Yuri Ogawa insisted on executing this tactic against all opinions.

    In her opinion, only by doing this can they persist longer.

    And the reality is just as she imagined.

    Xia Yang's troops, after a full day of offensive, had actually advanced less than ten kilometers from the front.

    This was completely different from the advancement speed that Xia Yang had expected before, because Ogawa Yuri's anti-penetration tactics surprised him.

    The key is that this move also makes his troops, whether in the rear or at the front, potentially vulnerable to enemy attacks.

    Some Japanese squads with strong combat capabilities even penetrated more than 30 kilometers to their rear in just one day.

    Attacked one of their transport convoys in the rear.

    In this attack, they only lost a few trucks and killed and injured dozens of soldiers.

    And the small Japanese soldiers who attacked them were all wiped out.

    But this incident forced Xia Yang to suspend the attack momentum of the front troops and instead attack the Japanese troops that interspersed between their troops.

    ¡°This Yuri Ogawa has a terrible learning ability.

    ¡°This was the first time we fought, we used the interleaving tactic, and she also used the intersecting tactic.  The key is, she still uses it in a decent way.  "

    Xia Yang is on the map, with the location marked on one side.

    Those Japanese troops turned into small red dots at this time.

    Looking at it from a distance, those red dots seemed like daggers, inserted into the bodies of the four armies.

    The offensives of both sides are intertwined and mixed together, but there is a relatively clear dividing line.

    Li Yunlong, who was standing next to him, said: "The little devil wants to disrupt the fight with us. This is what our Eighth Route Army is best at."

    Hearing this, Xia Yang raised his head and asked, "In that case, I would like to ask you for advice, Lao Li."

    Li Yunlong pointed at the map, and then said: "According to our old Li's intuition, the Lily Ogawa on the opposite side is delaying our attack.

    ??????? Then let¡¯s ignore the other mess and just attack Anyang City directly, right?

    Her headquarters is right there. I don¡¯t believe that after beating her headquarters, she can still let her troops conduct interspersed operations on such a large scale.  "

    ??

    Now it seems that if I really do this, I will fall into her trap and mess up my offensive rhythm.  "

    After saying this, Xia Yang turned his head and immediately ordered the troops to change the way they fought.  They began to directly concentrate their superior forces and launch a fierce attack on Anyang City.

    Late that night?On the defensive positions outside Xinxiang, small groups of Japanese troops have begun to conduct tentative attacks on these positions.

    But they soon discovered that the entire Xinxiang perimeter was very tightly defended.

    Even at night, they would be discovered by the Fourth Army¡¯s position after just sneaking out for a few kilometers.

    Then, shells and bullets were poured into the area where they were as if they were free of charge.

    And the enemy infantry will also ride motorcycles to pursue them.

    This made the infiltration of a small group of Japanese troops a complete failure.

    However, this will not affect the Japanese offensive in the south of Xinxiang. These small groups are only testing the defense situation in the south of Xinxiang.

    As the commander-in-chief of the Japanese troops in the Zhengzhou area, Taro Sakai not only directed the defensive operations of Zhengzhou at this time.  At the same time, the offensive against the Xinxiang area was also under his command.

    That night, the Japanese army¡¯s four divisions, with 100,000 troops, had reached the Fourth Army¡¯s defense line on the outskirts of Xinxiang.

    Their artillery units have been able to easily cover these defensive positions with artillery fire.

    But the Japanese army was not in a hurry to attack. They were not good at fighting at night.  So they waited for the arrival of daylight before launching a fierce attack on the Xinxiang area.

    At this time, both the Airborne Division and the Third Division were under the unified command and leadership of Wei Xing.

    He looked at the Japanese camp in the distance and knew that the Japs were coming this time and they would face a tough battle.

    And this battle is likely to be the most brutal battle since the Third Division entered the northern Henan region.

    In nearly a month of long fighting, the soldiers of the Third Division and the Airborne Division, even the original recruits, were tempered into veterans.

    Therefore, compared with the Japanese troops on the opposite side, these soldiers stationed on the outer positions of Xinxiang all have rich combat experience.

    When mobilizing before the war, Wei Xing clearly told them that this battle would be so tragic that they could not imagine it.

    But they have only one mission, which is to withstand the fierce offensive of the 100,000 Japanese troops before the main force led by Junza can completely eliminate Yuri Ogawa.

    The air force airdropped weapons, equipment and ammunition to them overnight.

    These weapons, equipment and ammunition were all manufactured by Xia Yang and others in their military factories in Shanxi.

    Precisely because of the existence of these military factories, Xia Yang no longer needs to worry about ordinary light weapons and ammunition.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
