The Japanese army¡¯s reconnaissance of the Xinxiang area is gradually coming to an end.
They discovered that their primitive investigation method had no effect at all.
The enemy¡¯s reconnaissance equipment at night is very complete.
Even if they send a small group of troops into the enemy's defense area, they will basically be wiped out.
However, the Japanese commander did not give up the attack on the Xinxiang area because of this.
Even without this information, they are confident that they have twice the strength of the enemy, and they can defeat the enemy's defense line at an extremely fast speed from the front.
Taro Sakai¡¯s confidence is definitely not groundless.
Because this time, the Japanese army has assembled more than 100,000 troops in southern Xinxiang.
This is fully twice the strength of the Fourth Army stationed in the Xinxiang area.
It is precisely because of this that Taro Sakai can be so confident.
He told his soldiers that they could launch an attack on the Xinxiang area in the early morning of the second day.
As for the attack plan, it was worked out overnight.
Although the battle plan is very simple, the goal is very clear.
That is to capture Xinxiang, and then surround the enemy's main force in the Hebi area north of Xinxiang. At the same time, cut off the enemy's communication with the Shanxi area and cut off their ground transportation lines.
At this time, Wei Xing had about 50,000 troops.
He centralized the deployment of these people, leaving 20,000 people as mobile troops, and the other 30,000 people were stationed in defensive positions throughout Xinxiang.
This offensive and defensive operation will directly determine the direction of the entire war situation.
If we say that the main force of the Fourth Army in northern Henan was defeated by the Japanese army.
¡° Then there is no way for their battle in North China to proceed further.
The entire northern Henan region, as well as the Japanese troops in Henan, will choose to go north to regain Hebei.
Cooperating with the Japanese troops on the sea, they launched a fierce attack on the Pingjin area.
As for most of the occupied Hebei areas, it is only a matter of time before the Japanese army wants to recover them.
Precisely because of this, Wei Xing knew that the task on his shoulders was very heavy.
So in the past two days, like Liu Hong, the commander of the airborne division, he began to listen to the intelligence coming from the front and deployed his own defensive forces.
In just two days, he seemed to have aged ten years. Even the temples have white hair growing on them.
In the early morning of this day, Wei Xing had just taken a nap at his desk when he was woken up by the staff officer who hurried over.
His staff officer said to him: "Reporting to the division commander, the enemy's troops have begun to take action.
They are divided into three groups, one is to attack our west side, and the other side is to attack our east side.
There is another force coming directly towards Xinxiang. "
After Wei Xing heard this, he immediately walked to the map and took out a pencil. Mark the location of the Japanese army on it.
After seeing the deployment of the Japanese army, he said to the staff officer next to him: "The little devils have a big appetite this time. They not only want to knock down Xinxiang, but also cut off our retreat to Shanxi.
Even our supply lines are within their attack range.
This time, we must scare these little devils.
"Otherwise, they will continue to do this and launch violent attacks on our defense areas unscrupulously." "
His staff officer looked at the map and said, "The Japs have a strength of 100,000 people. How should we defend this time?"
Wei Xing looked at the map, and then said: "Tell the troops in the front to hold on and hold on until night comes.
When Black Sky arrives, this will be our home court. When the time comes, let these little devils know how powerful we are. "
His staff officer immediately said: "Yes! Master! I understand."
After saying this, they passed on the order.
Tell all the soldiers on the front to withstand the fierce Japanese attack during the day.
When night comes, they can launch a counterattack against the Japanese army.
Because of their investigation methods, the Fourth Army has an absolute advantage over the Japanese army in night battles.This is something that the Japanese army cannot compare with.
Precisely because of this, many times, the Japanese army would choose to avoid fighting with the Fourth Army at night.
Try to hide in your own position instead of engaging in encounters with the troops of the Fourth Army in the wild.
Accompanied by the roar of Japanese artillery shells, the Japanese attack on the fortifications in southern Xinxiang officially began.
At this time, the Japanese offensive troops deployed on the front had more than 50,000 troops in two divisions.
The other two divisions serve as reserve forces, ready to be deployed on the battlefield at any time.
At the same time, these two divisions will also be responsible for the defense of the Yellow River area.
Prevent the enemy from cutting off the pontoon bridge here and occupying the ferry here.
Not long after the Japanese attack started, Xia Yang ordered the air force to support the Fourth Army troops in the Xinxiang area.
As soon as the shelling by the Japanese army ended, fighter jets and bombers at the field airports built in northern Henan were already flying towards the Japanese army here.
In response to the powerful air force of the Fourth Army, the Japanese army also responded. They transformed many heavy machine guns into anti-aircraft machine guns, and also concentrated a large number of anti-aircraft guns to cover their troops on the front line.
However, this kind of air defense effect is very limited. Most of the time, these Japanese troops can be bombed indiscriminately by the air force of the Fourth Army.
It¡¯s not that the Japanese army doesn¡¯t have an air force, they also have a large number of air forces.
But these troops did not dare to fly out of the airport because of the powerful air defense firepower of the Fourth Army.
As long as these Japanese air force units fly from the airport to the battlefield where the four armies are fighting, they will be directly shot down by the air defense missiles of the four armies, and almost no one will survive.
So Japan¡¯s General Staff Headquarters issued an order.
That is, when there are units of the Fourth Army on the battlefield, the air force can refuse to participate in the battle.
Or only perform delivery tasks, but not bombing and other tasks.
When the Japanese infantry charged towards the Fourth Army¡¯s positions, the Fourth Army¡¯s air force had also flown to the battlefield.
They launched frantic bombing and strafing attacks against the Japanese infantry.
On the ground, the defensive firepower of the four armies was also very fierce.
The Japanese army does not have armored infantry, and charging directly against these defensive positions of the Fourth Army is almost indistinguishable from death.
However, even the Japanese troops with the cover of armored forces had no way to achieve good combat results. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
