    And then, overnight, they were dealt the heaviest blow.

    This left the two Japanese divisions unable to even launch an active counterattack against them from the front.

    As for the two Japanese divisions in the rear.  If they cannot support these two besieged Japanese divisions tonight, they will lose their original role.

    By then, what these two Japanese divisions can do is to hold the ferry and some defensive positions on the north bank of the Yellow River.

    But when the time comes, fighting with their backs against the water, can they really hold on to these ferries and defensive positions?

    As night falls, Armored Division Commander Liu Changlong stands on top of his armored vehicle.

    Looking at the dark night that was gradually closing in the distance, he knew that at this moment, it was their turn to take action.

    20 kilometers ahead is the area where the two Japanese divisions gathered.

    And their armored divisions, together with the infantry units, have been scattered on both wings.

    At that time, they will cooperate with the main force of the infantry force to launch the final attack on this Japanese army.

    At this time, the two divisions of the Japanese army had already reduced their forces on a large scale in order to prevent the enemy from taking advantage of the night again to conduct night attacks on them.

    The tens of thousands of troops of the two divisions were actually concentrated in a narrow area of ??less than 20 square kilometers.

    As for the two division leaders, what they consider is actually very simple. They can gather together in the dark night to prevent the enemy from encircling them separately, so that they can defeat them one by one, leaving them unable to launch an effective attack on the enemy.  Fight back.

    But now, they have concentrated the forces of the two divisions together.

    The enemy has no choice but to divide and encircle individual brigades or regiment-level forces.

    When daylight comes, they can disperse their troops to the front of the battle line again.

    Then they launched another large-scale counterattack against the enemy. This time, the two division commanders of the Japanese army were very confident.

    Because they believed that during the daytime battle, the enemy on the opposite side must have lost a large number of troops.

    To defend this line of defense with a width of more than 20 kilometers, the enemy needs to spend at least 5,000 troops.

    Wait until daytime tomorrow, and they will cause another two to three thousand casualties to the enemy.

    The enemy does not have enough troops to defend such a long line of defense.

    By then, there will inevitably be loopholes in the enemy's defense line.

    Or they will choose to shrink their defense line, and at that time, the Japanese troops will be able to rely on their superior strength to surround the enemy, or directly penetrate their defense line and divide them.

    At that time, the two Japanese divisions in the rear can also boldly deploy troops to support them.

    Then launch a general attack on Xinxiang, by which time the situation in the entire northern Henan region will be reversed.

    It was precisely out of this consideration that the Japanese army chose to concentrate its forces together.

    To prevent the enemy from consuming their vitality at night, the two Japanese division commanders did not consider another issue.

    That is what if the enemy chooses to surround them all here?

    Time is passing by bit by bit. The infantry and armored units of the Fourth Army are taking advantage of the cover of darkness, using various night reconnaissance equipment, bypassing various observation posts of the Japanese army, and starting to attack the Japanese camp one by one.  Point closer.

    At the same time, the air force and artillery units of the Fourth Army have locked the coordinates of the Japanese camp at this time.

    They will carry out large-scale bombing and artillery attacks on Japanese camps before the battle begins.

    "These Japanese troops will lose a large number of troops before they have formal contact with ground troops.

    Finally, the time came to 12:00 at night.

    At this time, the Fourth Army surrounded the Japanese troops in the rear, and the closest distance to the Japanese camp was even less than 2 kilometers away.

    When the shelling and bombing began, they were able to rush directly to the Japanese frontline in more than 10 minutes.

    And armored troops can even be faster.

    It only takes them a few minutes to run the 2 kilometers.

    At this time, there were many soldiers of the Fourth Army sitting on the armored vehicles and tanks of the Fourth Army. They all participated in the first attack.

    Behind them, the infantry troops advancing on foot will arrive at the battlefield within 10 minutes after the battle begins.field.

    As their reserve force, they launched a fierce attack on the Japanese positions.

    In the darkness, all the troops of the Fourth Army have stopped advancing.

    And all the tanks and armored vehicles also turned off their engines, waiting for orders from their superiors to launch an attack.

    Liu Changlong, commander of the Armored Division, is responsible for commanding the battle of the rear troops.

    He looked at the pocket watch he carried with him and saw that the time had reached 12:00.

    According to the scheduled plan, the artillery force and air force should have already launched a bombardment against the enemy at this time.

    His calm face also revealed a trace of imperceptible anxiety at this time.

    Just when he was about to speak out, he asked the soldiers behind him.  Why hasn't the artillery attack started yet?

    In the distant night sky, there were sudden bursts of sharp whistling sounds.

    After the bursts of piercing whistling, the darkness in the distance was directly turned red by the fire produced by the explosion.

    It was as if a red candle suddenly lit its wick in the endless darkness, and then dispersed all the surrounding darkness.

    Those Japanese soldiers are this candle.

    They will continue to burn the lives of soldiers in this red flame.

    Seeing this scene, the anxiety on Liu Changlong's face immediately disappeared.

    He showed a satisfied smile, then looked at the pocket watch in his hand, and said with a smile to the soldier next to him: "It seems this pocket watch of mine is not quite on time."

    At this time, hundreds of artillery shells had landed on the Japanese position.

    Their barracks and defensive positions were enveloped in explosions and flames.

    Less than three minutes after the bombardment started, in the distant night sky, the bomber formations and fighter jet formations of the Fourth Army flew towards the Japanese positions and camps like owls hunting in the dark night.

    These bombers and fighter jets carried a large number of aerial bombs, incendiary bombs, and napalm bombs to bomb Japanese positions.

    After a day of fighting, the soldiers in the Japanese camp were already exhausted.

    Most of them fell into a deep sleep, but these Japanese soldiers would not have thought that the Fourth Army would never give them a good night's sleep.

    The loud noise of artillery shells woke these Japanese soldiers from their sleep.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
