    By that time, the battle plan of the First Theater Command to regain the Zhengzhou area is not impossible to realize.

    The three reorganization divisions launched a three-sided siege in the Shangjie area.

    ?????????????????????????????? Several troops are still rotating in combat.

    During the day, they launched ten fierce charges on the upper block.

    Although they suffered a lot of casualties in the extremely dense barricade positions of the Japanese army.

    But in such a fierce attack, they also attacked half of the upper block.

    Zhang Changshan, commander of the 54th Division of the National Army in the First Theater Zone, used his binoculars to look at the blocks where the Japanese troops were stationed in the distance before dusk fell, and his uneasiness began to grow stronger.

    During today's daytime attack, he could clearly feel that the Japanese army on the opposite side not only had more strength, but also had a more determined will to resist.

    Not only that, the Japanese troops in the city even launched several counterattacks against them, taking back some of the occupied neighborhoods.

    Such fierce Japanese troops reminded Zhang Changshan, commander of the 54th Division, of the Japanese troops he encountered during the Battle of Xuzhou.

    He began to realize that perhaps the Japanese army had always been so powerful.

    It¡¯s just that the continuous victories of the Fourth Army gave him an illusion.  That is, the Japanese army seems to have become vulnerable.

    But this is not the case. The Japanese army may have become so vulnerable only in front of the Fourth Army.

    But in front of them, these Japanese troops are still so powerful.

    Like a high mountain, it stood in front of them.

    But they didn¡¯t know how many corpses they would have to lay on the mountain climbing road to be able to climb over the mountain.

    When night came, Zhang Changshan, the commander of the 54th Division, sent a telegram to the commander of the First War Zone.

    He asked the three divisions he led to temporarily retreat about ten kilometers back.

    When the troops on both wings advance to the vicinity of the upper block, they will encircle the upper block together.

    Instead of now, they went deep alone, like a lone wolf that had lost its direction, and got into the enemy's hinterland.

    This made Zhang Changshan feel very uneasy. He always felt that the Japanese army had opened a huge pocket for him.

    And he just led his troops into such a pocket.

    ¡°But what Zhang Changshan didn¡¯t expect was that his request was rejected by the superior department.

    Tang Enbo told him in the telegram that at this time, their troops were in full strength and their morale was high.

    "If we retreat ten kilometers now, all the areas we attacked during the day will be surrendered to the Japanese army.

    This will have a very serious impact on morale.

    Tang Enbo expressed the hope that Zhang Changshan could seize the opportunity to pursue the victory and lead the elite troops of more than 30,000 people to directly attack the core defense circle of the Japanese army and regain Zhengzhou City.

    And the two reserve divisions in the first theater have also begun to move towards the battlefield.

    If nothing else goes wrong, they will arrive at Shangjie District in the early morning of the third day to support Zhang Changshan's battle.

    Zhang Changshan really had no way to refute such an order.

    And in his heart, he was actually eager to make achievements. He wanted to lead his troops to regain Zhengzhou City and make a name for himself.

    In addition, morale is a thing that is originally full of energy, but then weakens and exhausts.

    If we say that we cannot take advantage of the strong morale at this time to attack the upper block, but choose to retreat temporarily to avoid being cut off by the Japanese army.

    Then their morale will inevitably suffer a blow.

    When the time comes to launch an attack on the upper block, we may have to pay greater casualties.

    It was precisely because of these considerations that Zhang Changshan finally chose to obey the order and let his three divisions continue to surround and take to the streets.

    At the same time, small groups of troops were dispatched to disperse on both wings to prevent large groups of Japanese troops from outflanking them when night came.

    It was also that night, when Taro Sakai looked at the map in front of him, he couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

    He pointed to the map and said: "The enemy's three divisions have already entered the pocket.

    It seems that we can close the network.

    DisposableAfter annihilating the enemy's elite troops of more than 30,000 people, the offensive in the first theater will definitely stop as a result.

    By then, we will be able to concentrate on dealing with the Fourth Army in northern Henan.  "

    When the Japanese staff officer beside him heard this, he immediately replied: "I think we can close the net tonight.

    There is no need to be greedy. After all, our appetite is limited. If the enemy sends two more divisions.  Entering this pocket would probably burst our belly.  "

    Taro Sakai nodded, and then said: "Immediately order the two regiments on both wings to directly attack Gaoshan Town and cut off the enemy's retreat.

    At the same time, the main force of our army in the upper block launched a counterattack against the enemy directly at night.

    When the time comes, we will be surrounded from all sides, and I will eliminate all these enemies in the Shangjie area.  "

    After receiving Taro Sakai¡¯s order, the Japanese defense forces deployed on both sides of Gaoshan Town immediately began a fierce attack on Gaoshan Town.

    During yesterday¡¯s battle, they had several small-scale battles with two other divisions of the national army.

    Although the national army felt that the fighting was very fierce, in fact, they did not cause too much damage to the two main forces of the Japanese army during the two days of attack.

    The total number of Japanese troops destroyed by the two divisions in two days was less than 500.

    There are more than 10,000 Japanese troops deployed on both wings of Gaoshan Town.

    At this time, night fell. Compared with the first battle zone, the Japanese troops, who were more adept at night fighting, immediately sneaked into the night and launched an attack directly on Gaoshan Town, which was defending the rear from air attacks.

    At this time, Gaoshan Town has become the logistics supply base for the 54th Division of the National Army and the other two accompanying reorganized divisions.

    They put a large amount of funding in Gaoshan Town, then moved forward lightly and launched a fierce attack directly on the upper block.

    However, they only had one regiment of troops left behind in Gaoshan Town.

    Because at that time, the commander of the First War Zone believed that the Japanese troops on the flanks were no longer enough to cause trouble.

    They do not need to waste too many troops on garrisoning in the rear. Instead, they should turn all the troops they can mobilize into a sharp knife and directly stab down the western gateway of Zhengzhou - Shangjie.

    It is this eagerness for success in combat deployment that has led to their unstable footing.

    There is no corresponding defense for the important supply base in the rear.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
