    He began to think that maybe he should have ordered his troops to disperse and break out 15 minutes ago.

    In that case, some troops can still break out.

    But now he chose to stick to his position. Enemies from all directions, under the cover of armored troops, were devouring them.

    Like a black tide and a tsunami.

    The Japanese captain realized that he and his soldiers could no longer wait until dawn.

    ? 6:00 in the morning.

    The main force of the Fourth Army's attack on this Japanese brigade has been declared over.

    These more than 1,000 Japanese troops were surrounded by tens of thousands of infantry and armored troops of the Fourth Army, and then within a few hours, they were all annihilated on the battlefield.

    These troops of the Fourth Army, after simply cleaning the battlefield, immediately dispersed to various parts of the battlefield.

    At this time, other Japanese troops began to provide reinforcements to this area.

    They want to surround the attacking troops of the Fourth Army in this place before the main force of the Fourth Army retreats.

    But it is obvious that the Fourth Army did not give the Japanese army these opportunities at all.

    Their troops had left the battlefield in less than an hour and set out for the predetermined area.

    "The Japanese troops did not arrive until three hours later.

    The commander of the first Japanese unit that arrived here looked at the devastated battlefield and the Japanese corpses stacked on the position, and knew that they had arrived too late.

    When they came here, they didn¡¯t even see the shadow of the Fourth Army troops.

    So, he immediately sent a telegram to his division commander to report the situation here.

    After the Japanese division commander found out, he frowned and said to the Japanese staff officer next to him: "This enemy unit. Why did it move so quickly?

    They launched the attack last night, and within just a few hours, they killed thousands of our troops here.

    With such terrifying firepower, their speed of annihilating enemies is beyond imagination.  "

    The Japanese staff officer standing next to him said: "The enemy had the advantage in the night battle, and we should make up for our losses in the daytime battle.

    I think our army can take advantage of the daylight to immediately launch an attack on the enemy.

    "If the enemy wants to continue fighting with us, they will inevitably reveal their flaws on this plain.

    As long as we find this flaw and concentrate our superior forces, we can hit the enemy as hard as possible.  "

    The Japanese division commander nodded, and then sent telegrams to several other Japanese division commanders.

    The four division commanders were organized into a joint headquarters and communicated by phone.

    When daylight arrived, the Japanese army began to launch a counterattack in northern Henan. They began to search for the enemy's troops in the vast plains in southern Xinxiang.

    But the search lasted until noon, and they failed to find Wei Xing and his main force.

    This makes the Japanese commander quite strange. Logically speaking, as long as the enemy's troops are still in the south of Xinxiang.

    So if they send out so many scout troops, they will definitely find clues about the enemy's march.

    However, the search lasted all morning, but no trace of the enemy's main force was found at all.

    Only in the wild did they discover small reconnaissance units of the Fourth Army, and these small reconnaissance units were obviously not worthy of mobilizing their main forces for siege.

    At this time, the Japanese commander began to realize that perhaps the enemy's location was not in the south of Xinxiang at all, but in the north of Xinxiang City, or within Xinxiang.

    With this idea emerging, several Japanese commanders made a decision.

    They plan to launch an attack on Xinxiang, because as long as they advance to the north of Xinxiang, the enemy will have to fight them there.

    And as long as they fight head-on, these Japanese commanders no longer need to worry about not being able to find the enemy's main force.

    But soon, they realized that their idea might be a little too simple.

    Because when their main force was advancing toward Xinxiang City, the Japanese scout troops on the flanks sent a telegram.

    They said they found a large enemy force on the flank.Traces of movement.

    Suppose that the enemy detours from the flanks to their rear and occupies all the shore defense positions on the north bank of the Yellow River.

    "Then the Japanese army's logistics will be completely cut off, and at the same time, they will also fall into the enemy's attack from both sides.

    This was obviously not what the Japanese army wanted to see, so after some discussion, several Japanese division commanders decided not to send all their troops to attack the Xinxiang area.

    Rather, a division or so of troops must be left behind to consolidate their rear defense line and prevent the enemy from occupying all the ferries along the Yellow River and cutting off their logistical supply routes.

    And this is exactly what Wei Xing wants to see. As long as the Japanese troops stay behind, they can use their mobility advantages to annihilate the Japanese troops one by one on this vast plain.

    Soon, night came.

    The two forward divisions of the Japanese army have already aimed their main force at Xinxiang City.

    They even had a small-scale exchange of fire with Wei Xing's guard troops staying in the Xinxiang area on the outer defense line of Xinxiang.

    However, these Japanese troops were a little scared. They were worried that the enemy would outflank them from the side, so the Japanese troops stretched the battle line very wide.

    But the Japanese army still didn¡¯t know that by widening the front line in this way, they could not cover their flanks well.

    Because after night comes, Wei Xing's troops will still be like ghosts, passing through the gaps between their defensive positions, and then encircling the Japanese troops in separate ways.

    Soon, the night that the Japanese army feared gradually opened, shrouding the entire land in darkness.

    The Japanese soldiers raised their heads and looked at the darkness growing thicker above their heads. The uneasiness in their hearts became more and more intense.

    They have fought many times with the Fourth Army, and they know that what this group of people likes most is to launch attacks at night.

    They are like owls, always lying around during the day and emerging at night.

    These Japanese soldiers knew very well that if the enemy attacked them tonight, they would most likely die under the enemy's fierce attack.

    In order to avoid enemy troops to the greatest extent, divide and surround their troops.

    This time the Japanese army chose a more conservative offensive plan.

    They combined a Japanese brigade as a whole to increase its independent defense strength.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
