    In the evening, outside Shizhai Town, located in the south of Xinxiang, Xia Yang's troops had destroyed the railway here in advance.

    They set up a blocking position on a plain.  More than 4,000 troops have set up multiple defensive positions in this vast wilderness.

    Their purpose is very simple, which is to block the Japanese troops from supporting the Xinxiang area.

    The Japanese army set out from Zhengzhou and went to Xinxiang to support the 40th Brigade. After crossing the Yellow River by train, they found that the railway ahead had been destroyed.

    This forced the Japanese 41st Brigade to get off the bus and march.

    But in the afternoon, they had received an order from the division headquarters, saying that the troops supporting Anyang from the Xingtai direction had been ambushed by the enemy near the railway line, and told them not to get too close to the railway line, and at the same time, they would  The soldiers were divided into several groups and dispersed for support.

    The purpose of this is very simple, that is to avoid being annihilated by the enemy to the greatest extent possible.

    ¡°After all, Sandao Changfu¡¯s brigade basically made all the mistakes they could.  Otherwise, there were only more than 4,000 Eighth Route Army soldiers. It would be impossible to wipe them all out in one afternoon. Even before the reinforcements arrived, there was no Japanese soldier on the battlefield who could resist.

    Ogura Mamoru, the commander of the 41st Brigade of the Japanese Army, looked at the telegram sent from the division headquarters with a very solemn expression.

    His thick beard almost covered half of his face.  When he spoke, his teeth were exposed from his thick black beard, like a row of small lights lighting up in the darkness.

    "The entire brigade of the Third Road Brigade Commander, except for the cavalry brigade that set off early, has been completely annihilated."

    Putting the telegram away, Okura Mamoru looked at the night that was gradually enveloping him, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.

    Their troops marched in the wilderness, divided into several supporting forces in large groups.

    "In this way, if one unit is blocked, other units can also reach Xinxiang.

    Xia Yang's troops are using night vision devices to conduct reconnaissance on the Japanese army's marching route.

    A regiment of the cavalry division, an infantry regiment, and more than a dozen large and small guerrilla groups that were already active in this area were their entire blocking force.

    "The Japanese troops have dispersed, Tuanzuo."

    The adjutant of the ninth regiment under the third division said to their regiment leader Liu Siyu.

    Liu Siyu rubbed his dry eyes, and then pulled out a pistol from his waist.

    At this time, three different pistols were pinned to his waist, including a Browning, a Mauser pistol, and even a very rare Colt revolver.

    Behind his back, he also carried a Type 95 automatic rifle that he specially begged from Xia Yang.

    He looked more like a ruthless bandit running rampant in the mountains than a commander of the army.

    "You little devil, spread out your support. It will be difficult for us to stop them all." Liu Siyu said, holding a straw in his mouth.

    The adjutant next to him said: "It has been discovered so far that the enemy is divided into seven groups, starting from Sanli Temple, Shigong Village, and several other routes, covering a width of ten kilometers. The strength of our two regiments is absolutely impossible.  All blocked."

    Liu Siyu spit out the straw in his mouth, then photographed the Browning pistol on the map and said: "If you can't stop it, you must stop it. Order the troops to break into pieces, use companies and platoons as units, and carry night vision  Instrument, delaying the advance of the Japanese army to the greatest extent.

    Other guerrillas also followed us.  Notify the cavalry regiment and let them find opportunities on their own to attack the Japanese army's flanks and rear.  "

    "Yes!! Group seats!!"

    Liu Siyu's order was quickly issued to the entire Ninth Regiment. The soldiers of the entire Ninth Regiment, from the most basic soldiers to him, the regiment leader, and even the ones in the cooking squad who carried the big pot, dispersed into the vast night.  among.

    At this time, everyone in the entire Ninth Regiment is a combatant. They need to block the support of the Japanese army at all costs, or even die here.

    Just when the soldiers of the Ninth Regiment dispersed into preset positions to block the attack of the Japanese 41st Brigade.

    Under the city wall of Xinxiang, Xia Yang's troops have launched the first wave of attack.

    Under the first round of artillery bombardment, the city walls outside Xinxiang had collapsed in several places.  FourThe attacking infantry here can even directly step on the fallen bricks and climb to the top of Xinxiang City.

    Their tanks and armored vehicles covered the infantry units and launched a fierce attack on the Xinxiang city.

    At this time, fully half of Wei Xing's third division was devoted to attacking the Xinxiang city wall.

    They attacked from the north and west at the same time, while in the south, they set up blocking positions.  Prevent Japanese troops from escaping from this direction.

    In the other direction, the eastern city wall and the troops of the Airborne Division are also surrounded here.

    They lack heavy weapons and tanks, so if they want to attack the city wall, they can only use ladders.

    This method of siege is very primitive. Xia Yang does not need his soldiers to spend so many lives attacking the city wall.

    At this time, on the city wall, the Japanese flat-fire artillery and a large number of soldiers launched a fierce counterattack against the charging Third Division troops below.

    Their firepower is very fierce. This Japanese brigade is not like the previous Japanese brigade.

    Based on the strategic guidelines formulated by Okamura Neiji, the brigade stationed in Xinxiang added many flat-fire cannons, large-caliber machine guns, and other anti-armor and anti-tank weapons.

    Even anti-tank mines, the Japanese army also has a large number of equipment.

    The purpose of this is very simple, that is, to destroy Xia Yang's armor power to the greatest extent.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
