    Because he believes that the counterattack force in the first theater will be stronger next time and the threat to Zhengzhou will be greater.

    But Taro Sakai will soon realize that he is worrying too much.

    Because it was just such a defeat, the backbone of the First Theater Station had already discussed the inconvenience and decided not to attack the Zhengzhou area.

    The reason for not attacking is also very simple.

    It was their belief that the Japanese army in the Zhengzhou area still had sufficient troops to carry out a long-term defensive operation against them.

    It is difficult for them to conquer Zhengzhou in one fell swoop and in a short period of time.

    It was precisely because of these factors that the First Theater Command Headquarters ordered the troops that had successfully broken through to retreat 30 kilometers to the west that night and then wait for further orders.

    In this way, they were equivalent to giving up all the areas captured in the first wave of offensive to the Japanese army.

    Therefore, a very interesting phenomenon occurred on the battlefield outside Zhengzhou.

    That is, the troops on both sides are shrinking back, as if they are afraid of the other side's troops and launching a counterattack against their own side.

    "It's just that the Japanese army has shrunk, with only about 50,000 troops.  However, there are more than 100,000 troops in the first theater of the national army.

    Although they lost more than 10,000 people due to command errors in the first round of attack, the main force still existed and they were able to continue fighting.

    But this time being surrounded by the Japanese army seemed to have aroused the horrific memories of the Japanese army among the commanders of the first theater of the national army.

    They were restrained and hesitant when formulating orders, and they did not even dare to mention the attack on Zhengzhou anymore.

    It was also on this night that unlike the troops in the first theater who broke through and retreated, at this time in northern Henan, the troops of the Fourth Army, which were at a disadvantage in terms of strength, began to plan a counterattack against the Japanese army of 100,000.

    Although two heavy artillery regiments and armored divisions were transferred from the Anyang area, the Fourth Army was still at a disadvantage in terms of strength.

    But with these troops now, Wei Xing has enough confidence to win this war.

    That night, he quickly gathered the main commanders and began to discuss the next attack plan.

    At this time, all those who came to participate in this meeting were brigade commanders and above.

    They were all talking at the meeting, but they were unable to come up with an attack plan that satisfied everyone in a short period of time.

    Some people think that we should concentrate our forces and launch a fierce assault on one point of the Japanese army.

    However, this view soon met with opposition. It was believed that if the army went deep alone, it would probably get into the pockets of the Japanese army.

    Others believe that this encirclement situation should be maintained.

    Then, we attacked the Japanese troops from multiple directions, causing them to lose sight of one thing.

    But these plans were all rejected by Wei Xing.

    Because he knew that their military strength was actually at a disadvantage.

    It is almost impossible to completely encircle the Japanese army, which far outnumbers them.

    And once these Japanese troops found the gap in their discovery, it was a very simple matter to break out.

    After thinking for a while, Wei Xing decided to attack from north to south.

    Push this Japanese army to the Yellow River area, let them fight against the water, and then launch a fierce counterattack against this Japanese army.

    In this way, the Japanese army faced a dilemma. They could either choose to cross the river, or choose to continue to hold on on the north bank.

    If they choose to cross the Yellow River, they will have to pay a greater price if they want to cross the Yellow River, or even be unable to complete the crossing at all.

    But if they choose to stay on the north bank of the Yellow River.  So with their backs to the Yellow River, they would have no room for roundabout operations.

    And their troops were compressed in such a narrow area, which allowed the artillery fire and aerial firepower of the Fourth Army to cause greater damage to the Japanese army.

    So Wei Xing said: "I think we can launch a comprehensive mobile annihilation war with our troops from north to south.

    Although we are at a disadvantage in terms of military strength, we have armored forces and air forces.

    The Japanese defensive positions in the plain areas have no way to hinder our armored forces.

      At the same time, our army has a huge advantage in the night battle.

    If we make good use of our advantages in night battles and fully mobilize our troops, we can form a strength advantage over the Japanese army in local areas.

    Then, in a short period of time, they would carry out a rapid annihilation operation against the Japanese army.

    "With our army's superior mobility, collaborative combat capabilities, and firepower, we will definitely be able to achieve very good results when facing the Japanese attack head-on."  "

    After hearing this, Armored Division Commander Liu Changlong said to Wei Xing: "Then what you mean is that we will annihilate the Japanese troops overnight.

    Then quickly left the battlefield, continued to look for fighter planes, and then annihilated the Japanese troops.  "

    Wei Xing said: "Yes, it was such a rapid annihilation operation in a short period of time that the Japanese army had no way to react and support the besieged troops.

    The Japanese army did not dare to act rashly at night because they did not know the movements of our army.

    By the end of the night, the besieged Japanese troops were basically wiped out by us.

    In this way, the Japanese army in northern Henan will fall into complete passivity.

    I couldn¡¯t imagine this type of combat before, but now our army has strong firepower and a large-scale armored force. This is a plain area, which is very suitable for the deployment of armored forces.

    It is precisely because of these reasons that I am confident that I can annihilate a Japanese regiment or even a brigade overnight, and then quickly leave the battlefield and look for opportunities to fight again.

    Hearing this, Liu Changlong nodded, and then said: "We have never fought this kind of battle before.

    Most of our previous battles consumed the Japanese military strength in the early stage.

    And then look for opportunities to annihilate the Japanese army in one fell swoop.

    But your idea is very bold. I think if you tell the military commander, he will definitely like your combat plan.  "

    Wei Xing nodded very confidently and said: "Of course, I know him too well, Jun Zuo.

    He really likes this kind of strategy of cutting through the mess with a sharp knife.  And this time, it is also a new attempt by our army, if our army can do this.

    ¡° Then in the future, when we fight the Japanese army in the North China Plain, we will have a precedent that we can refer to, which will be of great help in annihilating the Japanese troops.  "(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
