After much effort, Takashi Sakai finally crossed the Yellow River with the main force of the 28th Infantry Brigade and two heavy artillery regiments under his command. At the same time, there were also tank troops crossing. !
A fierce tiger has slowly stretched out its fangs on the south bank of the Yellow River.
"Now, we just wait for the division commander's troops directly under the division headquarters to cross the river. After the division commander's troops cross the river, we will avenge the brothers of Yusui, the first battalion of the 15th Regiment!" Sakai The anger in Long's eyes could no longer be concealed.
The news that the main force of the 15th Regiment's First Battalion had been wiped out by the squadron had reached his ears. Just after crossing the Yellow River, a whole brigade was wiped out. This was definitely a surprise to the always proud and conceited Takashi Sakai. It was a huge humiliation, and it was the kind of humiliation that couldn't be more humiliating.
Moreover, this is a carefully crafted trap!
"It's almost time. Your Excellency the division commander's troops must be on their way to the crossing point. It won't be long before we can avenge this hatred," said the chief of staff next to him.
"We can only hope that this is the case. As subordinates, we cannot urge the division commander to lead the troops to cross the river as soon as possible." Thinking of this, Takashi Sakai felt very uncomfortable. The division commander had to personally lead the division commander directly The news that the troops had crossed the Yellow River was given half an hour ago. Even if they were given a few more hours, they would have dared to lead the troops straight to Heze.
In Takashi Sakai's view, apart from the troops stationed in Heze, which other army has such strength?
If we were talking about the squadron coming from the direction of Kaifeng, that would be impossible. Kaifeng was so far away from here. It was impossible to deploy troops to the south bank to ambush them at the first time.
What's more important is that the army ambushing them actually has artillery!
According to reports from the Japanese troops east of Heze, the squadron is now preparing to defend Heze with fierce force. In other words, except for the troops in Heze, no other troops have greater suspicion.
Facts have proved that Zhang Tianhai's judgment was correct - but what Zhang Tianhai never expected was that Huang Jie's troops came to defend their position.
To put it bluntly, the 23rd Division of Huang Jie's Eighth Army unintentionally took the blame for Zhang Tianhai's fault!
In short, the big knife in Sakai Takashi's hand has been sharpened, and it is just waiting to be slashed in the direction of Heze.
The humiliating history of Takashi Sakai being wiped out when he first crossed the Yellow River must be washed away quickly.
The best way to wash away humiliation is to rinse with the water of victory.
Obviously, Takashi Sakai understands this truth, so he is now preparing for the troops to do their best to capture the city of Heze!
…
Heze County.
At this time, Heze County will soon lose its peace as before. There are walking troops everywhere. Groups of Central Military Officers and soldiers in goose-yellow military uniforms are in the city, carrying bombs and trying every means to strengthen the fortifications.
There is no way, now the Japanese military front is gradually approaching Heze.
The troops of the 23rd Division fought once with the forward troops of the 14th Division on the front line, but unfortunately they both ended in failure, which shows the fierce fighting power of the enemy.
Li Bifan, the commander of the 23rd Division, attached great importance to the battle to defend the city, and even served as the commander of the city defense himself.
Because they knew that as long as they strengthened the city a little more, they would have more hope of survival and they would be able to kill one more Japanese invader.
Everyone knows the ferocity of the Japanese invaders. The key lies in whether they dare to face such ferocious Japanese troops and gain a breathing space for the reproduction of the Chinese nation.
Heze City Defense Headquarters.
Since the troops of the First Regiment directly under the Third Theater Zone were evacuated, this place became the division headquarters and city defense headquarters of the 23rd Division.
It can be said that this is the highest military headquarters in Heze!
Division Commander Li Bifan was discussing the defense of the city with his chief of staff.
This is an isolated city, and it is an isolated city without reinforcements! They must defend this place, so as to buy time for the army to move and kill the enemy as much as possible, that's all.
"Brother Xiahe, do you think our city defense plan can last for a while?" Li Bifan looked at Huang Qidong, the chief of staff beside him. In fact, to be honest, Li Bifan's level is still relatively high. After all, he is also He once served as the director of the Colonel Training Department of the sixth phase of Huangpu.
People who can hold this position are not those who have little level and are just fake.
But in this battle, he really didn't feel confident. They had never encountered such a powerful enemy.
It is precisely because the enemy is strong that he wants to be foolproof and try to reduce the casualties of his own troops as much as possible when formulating the plan, so that he can have more hope!
"Master, this plan is already very good, are you still worried?" Perhaps he saw Li Bifan's hesitation, so Chief of Staff Huang Qidong asked this question.
"Yes. A little less!" Li Bifan said with a long sigh.
Before Huang Qidong could speak, Li Bifan continued, "Brother Xiahe, you are the person who knows me best. We are both graduates of the first batch of Baoding Military Academy, but you are in the cavalry department and I am in the engineering department. In the blink of an eye, we are After decades, you and I are finally on the battlefield against Japan, and our long-cherished wish has been fulfilled. In this battle, I am afraid that you and I will not be able to escape intact..."
"Why do it to the country? Why do it to the nation? But it is better to die in war than to be a slave to the country. You and I are both soldiers. Returning to the battlefield wrapped in horse leather and corpses is the ultimate fate. Even if this day comes, it is normal. Today's bandit army If we advance, the Longhai Road is in danger, and Xuzhou is also in danger. If you and I die in the battle, it will be a little bit of a breathing space for the nation." Huang Qidong patted Li Bifan on the shoulder and said, the relationship between the two of them is not It's so simple to go up and down.
They are classmates, comrades-in-arms, and brothers of life and death!
This time, they are ready to live and die together!
The main force of the Eighth Army is gathering towards Dangshan. In addition to

This was done by Quanqin, the security guard.
