Two days later, the war zone headquarters did not give any reply to Ling Xia's application at all, seeing this result, Fu Qingyun sighed and shook his head, he advised Ling Xia not to wait, it seems that the war zone is unwilling to support Ling Xia's application, otherwise he would have sent a letter to reply.

For this unexpected result, Ling Xia was silent and also looked a little angry, just when he was going to go to the war zone headquarters to find Nangong Xiongba to theorize, the battle broke out, it turned out, for some reason, the raid plan formulated by Nangong Xiongba and Mr. Dongfang was leaked.

Just when Nangong Xiongba gathered five and a half corps, ready to strike first, the enemy commander Gang Ning Ichiro actually took the lead, and in the middle of the night, the six corps of the island country simultaneously pulled out the camp from the blood pool frontier to attack, and only one night of marching, 30 million soldiers of the island country appeared in the Taizhuang Plain.

After the outbreak of the war, the advance troops of the two sides carried out several tentative contests, in order to seize the position, the war guards and the Japanese invaders both transferred the main force to the Taizhuang Plain, because of the arrival of the war, tens of thousands of square kilometers of the Taizhuang Plain instantly became lively.

Taizhuang Plain is wide in all directions, the transportation is convenient, the terrain here is gentle, the water and soil are fertile, hundreds of thousands of people have inhabited here for generations, a branch of the Yellow Water River divides the plain into two, ploughing the fields when busy, fishing in leisure time, although the life is dull but also comfortable.

The branch of the Huangshui River is about 400 meters wide and tens of meters deep, stretching through the Taizhuang Plain, the river water is sweet and refreshing, the fish and shrimp in the water are inexhaustible, and the surrounding people all rely on this river of life for drinking water and irrigation.

Now, the tranquility here has been shattered by the war, and 30 million soldiers from the island country marched north from the blood pond frontier, marching to the Taizhuang Plain, taking the mountain people as hostages along the way, and plundering the food and money of the people's houses.

The chief general of the battle guard stationed in the Taizhuang Plain was called Han Qingzhao, who was the military commander of the prince's camp, and after being requisitioned in the northern theater, he was ordered to lead five legions to deploy on the other side of the river to prevent the Japanese from attacking the other side of the river.

Because once the Japanese invaded the other side of the river and occupied that water source, the water supply of the battle guards fell into passivity. And Gangning Ichiro also saw the importance of this river, so the first stop of the army was until the branch of the Huangshui River.

According to Han Qingzhao's troops, with the help of the steep advantage of the river, he could hold out until the reinforcements arrived, but he didn't expect that seeing the menacing lineup of the island country corps, Han Qingzhao retreated without a fight in order to preserve his strength, and gave up the water source of the river to the island country.

As soon as Han Qingzhao gave the water source to the Japanese Kou, Nangong Xiongba led the corps to help, and learned that Han Qingzhao retreated without a fight, so that the Japanese Kou crossed the river bank without a single soldier, Nangong Xiongba was angry and beheaded Han Qingzhao with a knife, and then, he ordered the whole army to attack and fight.

In order to seize the only source of drinking water, the two sides fought fiercely for several days, and tens of thousands of soldiers died on both sides of the river.

Nangong Xiongba's determination greatly exceeded Gang Ning Ichiro's expectations, seeing Nangong Xiongba's continuous deployment of troops to snatch the water source, although Gang Ning Ichiro frowned, but he was reluctant to return the water source to the battle guards, so he also mobilized reinforcements to fight.

Originally, each corps was stationed in a long snake formation, but under the continuous deployment of the commanders of both sides, the corps of the two armies converged towards the river position at the same time, and Gangning Ichiro blocked the battle guards from approaching the river bank along the way.

On the side of the battle guards, because the water source was encroached upon, the officers and men of the various armies had not had water for several days, and in order to recapture the branch of the river that could replenish the water source, the officers and men of the various armies had to charge towards the camp of the Japanese and kill the enemy.

The two sides launched a tug-of-war on the bank of the branch of the Yellow River, and on the 10th, Gangning Ichiro finally could not stop the suicidal and crazy attack of the war guards, and took the initiative to withdraw his troops and retreat to the other side of the river, and the two armies temporarily formed a situation of confrontation across the river.

Although they succeeded in recovering half of the Huangshui River branch, the battle guards paid a heavy price, and after ten days of fierce fighting, the battle guards killed 90,000 soldiers and 110,000 soldiers were wounded, and all this was caused by Han Qingzhao's cowardice.

The two divisions were completely wiped out, and more than 80,000 soldiers were wounded.

Gangning Ichiro knew that the soldiers of the island country could not fight hard with the war guards, so after he withdrew his troops to the other side of the river, he divided his troops and horses into ten camps, scattered across the river branches, and attacked the empty city on both flanks of the Qing Forest Frontier.

The enemy's Gangningichiro Corps pinned down the Nangong Xiongba Corps from the other side of the river, while the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 5th Corps attacked in 10 directions, and 20 million soldiers from the island countries marched in unison in 10 routes, completely opening the prelude to the war on all fronts in the northern theater.

When all the troops of the island country were revealed, Nangong Xiongba suddenly noticed one thing, that is, from the beginning of the battle to the present, the enemy army has only appeared five corps, and after counting the numbers, Nangong Xiongba found that the enemy's fourth corps was gone.

After the start of the war, the transmission and reception of information in various places were restricted, and many military information could not be received at the first time, Nangong Xiongba mastered the movements of the enemy's five corps, but he did not know where the disappeared corps went.

It is a great taboo that the enemy's forces cannot be found on the battlefield, so Nangong Xiongba confronted Gangning Ichiro across the river, and sent a search for the whereabouts of the enemy's Fourth Corps, and after some efforts to find it, he finally received a reply.

After the camp was pulled, the enemy's Fourth Corps was separated from the main army, and Gangning Ichiro led five corps of the island country to rush to the Huangshui River branch to grab resources, while the enemy's Fourth Corps went straight to Yuankun Frontier, wanting to cut off the material supply channel in the northern theater from the flank.

After five days and five nights of rapid marching, the Fourth Corps of the island nation rushed to the front of the Tulai Provincial Defense Area, where the eastern line of the Yuankun Frontier is located, in the early morning of the sixth day.

The commander of the enemy's Fourth Corps is named Nakajima Yukigan, who is in his 40s this year, and he is the fourth-ranked instructor among the five special-grade instructors of the army school of the island country, and he is also the one hundred and eighth general on the list of famous generals.

Looking at the city walls of Tulai Province, Nakajima Snow Bank asked the four integrated siege corps under his command to open the way, and after receiving the order, the four siege corps dispatched a total of 3,000 catapults, 40,000 siege crossbows, 120 wall-breaking crossbows, and 200,000 wall-climbing soldiers.

On the war horse, Nakajima Xue'an looked at the opposite city wall with cold eyes, looking at the battle guards on the city wall with bows and arrows in hand, crowded with people, he sneered, and said lifelessly: "Attack!" ”
