    Until noon, the Eighth Route Army troops and armored division troops that stormed the Japanese defense line in front chose to retreat proactively after pursuing the Japanese troops for more than ten kilometers.

    And the armored forces, relying on their excellent maneuverability, approached the banks of the Yellow River intentionally or unintentionally.

    Because Xia Yang was worried that the Japanese army would cross the Yellow River from the Zhengzhou area to the north and directly launch an attack on the Xinxiang area.

    And the armored troops, approaching here, can ensure that their troops can support the defense on the south bank of the Yellow River at any time.

    "Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, the enemy seems to have given up pursuing our army.

    ¡°Moreover, even the enemies east of Hebi chose to give up the pursuit after occupying our original position, and instead built trenches on the spot.

    Consolidate the areas they have already captured.  "

    A Japanese army staff officer reported the movements of the Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army to Lily Ogawa.

    "And, most importantly, the enemy the enemy has begun to advance towards the Shijiazhuang area.

    His Excellency Neji Okamura said, let us end the fighting here as soon as possible.

    Because the enemy armored forces in the Pingjin area, as well as a large number of main forces of the Eighth Route Army, began to move closer to the Shijiazhuang area.

    Our scouts around Shijiazhuang discovered the movements of large enemy troops.  "

    Hearing this, Lily Ogawa fell into deep thought.

    She remained calm at this time.

    "Now it seems that although the enemy is arrogant, Xia Yang remains calm. Our first step plan to lure the enemy's main force northward may be declared bankrupt."

    Lily Ogawa said.

    "Then what should we do next?" the staff officer said.

    Lily Ogawa smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. Originally, this was just a feint attack."

    After saying this, she looked at her staff officer and said, "Do you still remember that I concentrated all our armored forces on the right wing?

    Do you know why you do this?  "

    Hearing this, the staff officer was stunned for a moment, and then said: "This"

    Lily Ogawa pointed at the map, and then said: "Linzhou! The enemy is stationed here with only a security group of more than a thousand people.

    They will march towards Linzhou tonight tonight.  Then continue to advance to Shanxi area.

    The enemy has dispatched its main forces to North China.  They are in Shanxi Province and have very limited troops stationed there.  "

    Hearing this, the staff officer suddenly realized.

    ¡°The enemy¡¯s attention has been pinned down by our army in the northern Henan region for a long time.

    They would never have thought that we would attack Linzhou.  And once Linzhou is captured, we can directly bypass Hebi and attack the Xinxiang area when we go south.

    And to the west, you can directly attack the Shanxi area.  "

    Lily Ogawa nodded, and then said: "So, it depends on how Xia Yang chooses. The troops they can quickly support to Linzhou are the armored divisions.

    As soon as his armored divisions move to support Linzhou, our troops south of the Yellow River will immediately launch landing operations.  "

    "What if their armored forces don't move?" the Japanese staff officer asked.

    Lily Ogawa said coldly: "It's very simple, let our troops continue to advance towards Shanxi."

    "yes!!"

    That night, more than 10,000 Japanese armored troops rode in tanks, armored vehicles, horse-drawn carriages, and trucks and quickly maneuvered toward the Linzhou area.

    There were originally no defensive troops in the Linzhou area.

    At that time, Xia Yang's Fourth Army just attacked the place without paying much attention to it.  Only a security group was dispatched from the Shanxi area to garrison.

    So this move by Lily Ogawa was unexpected by Xia Yang.

    The next morning, the troops on both sides were quiet for the entire night.

    They only dispatched a small reconnaissance force to spy on the other party's movements.

    But Xia Yang was not aware of the actions of the Japanese armored forces at this time.

    Less than ten kilometers west of Linzhou, there are two outposts set up by the security group.

    The two outposts stationed less than a platoon of troops.  The main task is to monitor the road leading to Anyang.

    If the Japanese army has a large force advancing here, this road is the only way to pass.

    But it is obvious that the enemy is not very interested in this city.

    So since China and Japan launched a fierce attack in North China, this place seems to have been forgotten.

    The head of the security group stationed here originally inspected the city defense every day.  But slowly, it became a patrol every two days, or even every three days.

    Even the many defensive positions they had set up outside the city wall before, the soldiers slowly withdrew back into the city.

    However, in the early morning of this day, their two outposts were attacked by small groups of Japanese troops.

    Fortunately, the soldiers stationed at the two outposts sent the telegram to Linzhou City before they were all annihilated by the Japanese army.

    Chen Xing, the leader of the security team, was woken up by his subordinates while he was sleeping.

    "Team!! It's not good, our outpost discovered a large number of enemy troops, advancing towards us.

    There are at least 10,000 people, and they are all tanks and armored vehicles. They are so densely packed that there is no end in sight.  "

    His regimental deputy ran over and shouted.

    These words made Chen Xing immediately perked up, and he immediately shouted loudly: "Sound the battle alarm immediately, and everyone must climb the city wall for me."

    After saying this, he picked up his officer's uniform and ran outside, putting on his coat at the same time.

    Outside the city, the Japanese armored forces were advancing very fast.

    They followed the smooth and unobstructed road and reached the foot of Linzhou City in less than twenty minutes.

    At this time, the soldiers from the security regiment in Linzhou City have already arrived on the city wall.

    However, their equipment is not as good as that of the regular army, or even that of ordinary militia groups.

    They are only equipped with less than ten sets of rocket launchers and not even a single cannon.

    Such crude firepower is obviously unable to stop the enemy's armored forces from advancing.

    The news that Linzhou was attacked by the Japanese army was quickly conveyed to Xia Yang by Chen Xing.

    "Linzhou?"

    Xia Yang was even stunned for a moment when he heard this place name.

    He immediately took out the map and began to search for the location of Linzhou on the map.

    ¡°Damn it!! How could I forget this place!¡±

    Xia Yang slapped his head and said with some annoyance.

    "What should we do now?" He Changxing asked.

    Xia Yang rubbed his head, and then said: "This Lily Ogawa has a lot of skills! I made this move too late for her!

    "If we had been able to dispatch a force to Linzhou at that time, and then take advantage of the situation to launch a two-sided attack on the Anyang area, maybe we would have become more proactive on the front!"  !  "(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
