Half an hour later, at the observation post of Yuwang Palace in Guishan.

Although the Japanese army did not attack Guishan after crossing the Han River to the west, but only aimed the attack at the urban area of Hanyang, Zhong Yi did not dare to be negligent.

Because Zhong Yi knows very well that Guishan Mountain is the most solid barrier in Hanyang!

Once Guishan is lost, the Japanese army can set up artillery on Guishan and condescendingly carry out accurate and targeted killings in Hanyang, Hankou and even Wuchang urban areas, which will be a big trouble!

Therefore, in addition to sending the 3rd Garrison Brigade to guard Guishan, Zhong Yi also came to inspect every other day.

Today, Zhong Yi came to Turtle Mountain again, and after the inspection, he followed Pan Zihe to the Yuwang Palace Observation Post!

Pan Zihe held a telescope and observed the Japanese military camp in the north of Hanyang City, and asked Zhong Yidao: "Ziren, I heard that in yesterday's street battle, the casualties of the enemy and us were one to one?" ”

"Hmm." Zhong Yi nodded, and said, "In yesterday's street battle, more than 3,000 devils were killed, and our own casualties were almost 3,000, which can be regarded as one to one!" ”

Pan Zihe subconsciously asked, "Then now, how many of us are left?" ”

To this day, the total number of people left in the ten brigades of the Wuhan garrison is already highly confidential!

Although Pan Zihe is the commander of the 3rd Garrison Brigade, he doesn't know how many people are left in the entire garrison area, and the only thing he can be sure of now is that there are 2,000 people left in the 3rd Garrison Brigade!

More than half a month ago, Zhong Yi had repeatedly transferred personnel from the 3rd Garrison Brigade.

Today, the 3rd Garrison Brigade has been sharply reduced from 8,000 to 2,000 men.

Zhong Yi glanced back at Zihe and asked, "How many people do you think there are left?" ”

The plan to use the collar badge to deceive the Japanese army is highly secret, except for Feng Yuxiang and Zhong Yi, only Zhu Liangcheng and Sun Liren know about it!

It's not that Zhong Yi doesn't believe Pan Zihe and several other brigade commanders.

Rather, it's because, the fewer people who know, the less likely it is that the plan will be leaked!

For the victory of the defense of Wuhan, Zhong Yi must do the best in secrecy!

Pan Zihe showed a slight look of embarrassment on his face, and said, "When I didn't say anything!" ”

Zhong Yi patted Pan Zihe on the shoulder and said, "Lao Pan, you just need to guard Turtle Mountain!" ”

"I understand!" Pan Zihe said, "Ziren, don't worry, there will definitely be no problem in Guishan!" ”

At this moment, Zhang Shiliang, who was observing the movement of the devil's military camp through the artillery mirror, suddenly shouted: "Counselor, there is movement on the devil's side!" ”

Zhong Yi and Pan Zihe hurriedly raised their binoculars to look, and sure enough, they saw teams of devils pouring out of the barracks.

It is conservatively estimated that the devils who poured out of the barracks were at least more than 6,000 people in two wings, and then the two of them saw that one battle defense gun was pulled out!

And then there are the tanks!

Seeing this, Pan Zihe's face changed!

Because in the previous half month, the devils on the Hanyang battlefield only dispatched one infantry brigade at most each time they attacked!

And the frequency of attacks is basically fixed, basically one in the morning, one in the afternoon, and one in the evening!

Even the casualties are basically the same, each batch is basically more than 1,000 people when they come, and there are 5 or 600 people left when they return, and the casualties are about 50%!

Street fighting, that's how cruel it is!

Of course, the casualties of the national army were even greater!

But today, the little devil is unusual, and he dispatched an infantry wing at one time, and there is at least one squadron of anti-aircraft artillery and a squadron of combat vehicles to fight together!

This intensity is much higher than the previous half a month!

It's not over yet, after the devil infantry entered the buffer zone north of Hanyang City, the devil artillery group, which had been silent for nearly half a month, also began shelling, dumping rows of shells into the blocks controlled by the national army!

Suddenly, the urban area of Hanyang, which was under the control of the national army, was full of smoke and dust!

Almost at the same time, the Japanese army in Hankow also began a massive shelling!

Looking back at the east, I saw that smoke and dust had also risen in the city of Hankou!

At that moment, he said peacefully: "Ziren, it seems that the devil is preparing for a general attack!" ”

"Expected!" The corners of Zhong Yi's mouth hooked slightly, and said, "After all, it has been consumed for almost half a month, and we don't have many people left, so it's almost time for the devil to launch a general attack!" ”

Pan Zihe said: "The devil's general attack is imminent, and the defensive pressure in the Hanyang city will definitely increase greatly, otherwise, another thousand people will be transferred from my 3rd Garrison Brigade?" ”

Zhong Yi shook his head and said, "No need! ”

Pan Zihe said no more.

……

At the same time, on the Mt. Funho.

Higashikurenomiya Tsukihiko once again took Machijiri to the Toyoha Mountain Observatory.

Standing on Fenghe Mountain and looking down at the past, you can clearly see the shelling of Hanyang and Hankou by two field heavy artillery brigades and six artillery wings of the Japanese army!

But I saw that the neighborhoods of Hanyang and Hankou, which were under the control of the national army, bloomed with dazzling red light from time to time, and the smoke and dust that swayed up soon covered the sky!

The telescope's field of view moved further north to the neighborhood under the control of the Japanese army!

Compared with the artillery fire in the area controlled by the national army, the area controlled by the Japanese army is not prosperous!

In the streets and alleys of the Japanese-controlled areas, tens of thousands of Japanese infantry, as well as hundreds of chariot defense guns, tanks and combat vehicles of various models are quietly waiting!

This time, Higashikurenomiya Tsusahiko is really planning to finish his work in one battle!

The battle to capture Wuhan has dragged on to this day, it has been almost two months, and it should be over!

Putting down the binoculars, Higashikurenomiya Twisthiko said: "Machijiri-kun, do you think you can take Hankou and Hanyang today?" ”

"Hello!" Machijiri Liangji followed and looked down at the binoculars, and said, "Theoretically, there should be no problem, after all, at this time, the entire Wuhan army is less than 10,000 people, and a certain number of troops must be assigned to guard the Wuchang and Guishan positions, so the troops left in Hanyang and Hankou are only 3,000 at most!" ”

After a pause, Machijiri said again: "With less than 3,000 troops, but we need to face two wings of the Imperial Army, plus a battle defense artillery squadron, and a tank wing to fight together, I really can't think of what else can the Chinese army expect to hold Hankou and Hanyang?" ”

"Yo Xi!" Higashikuremiya nodded happily.

"But." Machijiri Liangji's tone changed and said, "I always feel that I am afraid that things will not be so simple!" Because our opponent is Zhong Yi, this guy always has unexpected moves at critical moments, so this time, if there is an accident again, His Highness doesn't have to be too surprised! ”

Hearing this, Higashikunomiya Tsuruhiko's eyes sank slightly, and he said, "Machijiri-kun, then in your opinion, what kind of accident did Zhong Yi create this time?" Huh? ”

"This ......," Machijiri shook his head, "I can't guess it." ”
