    "I haven't heard any news. The enemy's artillery troops on the north bank have been roaring all night. But until now, our defense troops on the bank have not found any trace of the enemy crossing the river."

    Taro Sakai thought for a while, and his eyes fell on the distance between Zhengzhou and Kaifeng.

    "Here! Did you find anything at the outpost here?" Taro Sakai's finger fell between Zhengzhou and Kaifeng.

    The Japanese staff officer next to him said: "No, if they find the enemy crossing the river, they will report it immediately."

    Taro Sakai pondered for a while, and then said: "Call them and ask about the situation."

    "yes!!"

    After the staff officer finished speaking, he asked the communications soldier next to him to make a call to the outpost over there.

    Soon, the call was answered.

    "Did your post detect the enemy's crossing troops?" the operator said.

    But the language coming from the other side was not the Japanese they were familiar with, but a sentence in Chinese.

    "Your mother, is this a phone call from a kid?"

    On the other end of the phone, a soldier under Xia Yang cursed.

    "Nani?" the Japanese communications soldier asked with some confusion.

    When the soldier of the Fourth Army heard that it was indeed Japanese, he yelled: "My grandson, I will chop off your heads and use them as chamber pots when I break into Zhengzhou City!!"

    With that said, the soldier hung up the phone harshly.

    Taro Sakai and his staff officer, who were listening to the phone next to them, suddenly had a thick layer of frost on their faces.

    Of course they know what this call means.

    The outpost over there has been occupied by the enemy.  And they were still stupidly waiting for the outpost to call them and report the situation.

    How can we report the situation when everyone has been beaten to death?

    Taro Sakai could not imagine how the enemy occupied three outposts at the same time and made it impossible for these three outposts to make warning calls to the headquarters.

    But it doesn¡¯t make any sense to say this now.

    What they need to consider at this time is whether the enemy has successfully landed from the south bank of the Yellow River and marched towards Zhengzhou.

    The answer is yes. Now the Armored Division, the Third Division, and many local troops have successfully crossed the river and sneaked towards several major Japanese positions in the rear of Zhengzhou.

    "Immediately order all troops in the rear to enter combat positions. The enemy has probably completed crossing the river. At the same time, dispatch patrols to conduct reconnaissance along the Yellow River immediately to determine the enemy's position.

    Send a telegram to the Changgu Division and ask them to move east of Zhengzhou immediately.  If the enemy has not completely crossed the river, push these enemies back!  !  "

    Taro Sakai spoke very quickly, fearing that if he spoke too slowly, Xia Yang's troops would occupy the entire Zhengzhou.

    It was at this time that fierce gunfire came from the east of Zhengzhou.

    ¡°Boom boom!!!¡±

    Several positions of the Japanese army on the banks of the Yellow River, as well as three strongholds between Zhongmou and Kaifeng, were simultaneously attacked by Xia Yang's Fourth Army troops.

    His troops led with tanks and armored vehicles. After the artillery bombardment, they led the infantry to launch a fierce attack on the Japanese positions.

    At the same time, a large number of infantry units of the Fourth Army, riding on various vehicles such as trucks and armored vehicles, made circuitous insertions into these Japanese positions at extremely fast speeds.  Quickly complete the encirclement of these Japanese troops.

    At the same time, the troops of the two regiments were moving towards Kaifeng to block the Japanese troops coming to support them.

    As for Xia Yang¡¯s elite guard regiment, they also began to form into small teams and penetrate deep into the Japanese defense line.

    These small teams of Guard Corps soldiers will become pairs of eyes of the Fourth Army.

    They will move the Japanese defense nodes in the east, even various headquarters, and material warehouses.

    are marked on the map to facilitate their artillery and air forces to attack.

    Their actions were terrifyingly fast. Before Taro Sakai's order was even issued, the first wave of attacks by Xia Yang's troops started before dawn.

    The Japanese army is flanking on the east side, and the number of troops deployed is not very large.

    Full of full calculations, that is, the strength of a wing.

    Taro Sakai would not have thought that?Their outposts on the edge of the Yellow River were actually able to be eliminated by the enemy at the same time.

    Even if they could receive a warning call, he could quickly mobilize his troops to block Xia Yang's troops back before they could cross the river.

    After all, in the art of war, it is taboo to fight with one's back against the enemy.  Once only half of Xia Yang's troops completed crossing the river, and the rest were generally suppressed by Japanese artillery fire on the other side, their river-crossing operation could be declared a failure.

    But Xia Yang and the others were able to transport all the main troops to the south bank in just three hours.

    At the same time, they immediately launched an attack against the Japanese positions. This efficiency was really terrible.

    Taro Sakai calculated the time at this time and determined that Xia Yang's troops would only have more than three hours to start crossing the river.

    He felt that the enemy's attack at this time might be just a bluff to cover their main force's crossing of the river.

    Because judging from the intelligence he had received before, the enemy lacked large transport ships.  There are only wooden boats and sampans.

    But his investigation team had no way of knowing that a large number of sand transporting ships had been stored in Xia Yang's system warehouse.

    These ships, which have a huge carrying capacity and can sail in shallow water areas, coupled with engineering troops, can allow their armored troops, other vehicles, heavy artillery, etc. to complete the crossing of the river at a very fast speed.

    These busy boats can be seen everywhere along the several-kilometer-long river crossing.

    Coupled with the pontoon bridge built by engineers, their efficiency in crossing the river has far exceeded Taro Sakai's expectations.

    ¡°The enemy launched a fierce attack on five defensive positions of our army at the same time. At the same time, large groups of enemy troops were discovered on the sides and rear of these positions, making rapid detours.

    The enemy is most likely planning to encircle them in a roundabout way and eat up a regiment stationed in these positions.  "

    Based on the intelligence sent from various garrison positions in the east after the sound of artillery fire, the Japanese army staff officer quickly marked on the map the position of the position under attack, as well as the direction of movement of Xia Yang's troops.

    Taro Sakai slapped the table and said: "Order the Hase Division to immediately launch a comprehensive counterattack against the enemy.

    I suspect that the enemy is just bluffing, and they want to fool us into thinking that their main force has completed the crossing.

    But as far as I know, if all the enemy's armored vehicles and tanks want to cross the river, it will take at least seven or eight hours.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
