"Yaga!"

Before Ito could let out a curse, the cluster grenade landed in front of him and exploded!

The wave of air generated by the explosion instantly tore Itoga's short and sturdy body into countless pieces, splashing all over the sky, and the Type 95 light tank that was close at hand was not spared! was overturned to the ground by the air wave, and the barrel of the 37mm caliber main gun poked into the hard ground, bent in an instant, and was basically wasted!

But Aso, the little devil, escaped!

Before the cluster grenade fell, Aso Hiroshi had already discovered that he was able to hide on the right side of the Type 95 tank in advance, and the hard body of the tank blocked the fragments and air waves of the grenade, so Aso Hiroshi was unharmed!

However, after the tank was overturned, the infantry following behind was exposed!

So, Aso retreated to the side of the street and quietly retreated against the wall!

At this time, the vast majority of devil soldiers are still continuing to advance, but Aso Hiroshi has realized that this attack has failed, and if he doesn't retreat at this time, he won't be able to retreat even if he wants to!

……

On the roof on the right, Erbao's bloodshot head finally regained its composure.

Hearing the sound of the explosion, Erbao looked through the gap slightly, and saw that the tank advancing along Yudai Street had been blown over in the middle of the street.

Without the threat of the main tank guns, the light and heavy machine guns of the national army immediately opened fire!

The devils who advanced along Yudai Street and on the roofs of the houses on both sides were immediately suppressed!

Seeing this, Erbao immediately raised his water bead rifle again and aimed it at a devil lieutenant on the roof in front of him!

In the next moment, Erbao gently pulled the trigger, and with the sound of a gunshot, the door of the devil lieutenant immediately burst open.

The next moment, the rifles and machine guns of several devils nearby turned around.

Erbao retracted back to the gap without hesitation, then rolled forward and came to the other gap, and then shot at a very fast speed and then pulled the trigger!

Another gunshot rang out, and another devil rolled down from the roof with a scream.

After firing a shot, Erbao immediately retracted to the side of the gap, and sure enough, the machine gun fire of the devil on the opposite side quickly chased over, knocking the walls on both sides of the gap into smoke and dust.

Erbao, who was hiding on the side of the gap, was unscathed.

With a slight pull on the bolt, another hot brass bullet case was thrown out of the shell and rolled to the ground, making a continuous clanging sound when jumping, which sounded so pleasant!

At this time, Erbao has completely regained his composure!

Open the bolt, take out a five-round bridge clip from the bullet pouch and press it into the chamber, close the bolt, and push it again, pushing another bullet into the chamber.

After waiting for two seconds, and waiting for the devil's machine gun fire to turn elsewhere, Erbao dodged again and appeared in the middle of the gap again, almost at the same time, Erbao also finished shooting and pulled the trigger!

Another gunshot rang out, and another devil howled and fell from the roof!

……

On the Jade Belt Gate, the observation post of the 10th Infantry Wing.

Yoshio Shinozuka, Tsutsumi Bukatashi, and Mori Suhiro are standing on top of the castle with binoculars in hand, watching the fierce street battles unfolding in Hankou City.

Standing on the gate of Yudai and looking down into the city, you can clearly see the fierce battles taking place on the roofs of the houses between Yudai Street, Dishang Street, Zhengjie and the three streets!

Seeing that the guided tanks were blown up one by one, and the Japanese soldiers advancing along the three main streets and on the roofs of the houses in the middle were shot and killed one by one, the faces of the three old devils gradually became solemn.

"Yaga!" Maori Mohiro gritted his teeth and said, "How can this be?" ”

"Soga!" Di Bujiagui also frowned and said, "I originally thought that after destroying the fortress of Hankou Railway Station and the artillery groups of Turtle Mountain and Snake Mountain, the battle in the future would become very smooth, but I didn't expect that things were not at all what I imagined, and the tenacity and good fighting of the Zhina Army were far beyond my imagination!" ”

Only Yoshio Shinozuka's face did not change.

Yoshio Shinozuka had long expected this, although the 10th Division did not participate in the Battle of Nanjing, but he had already heard of the Battle of Xinjiekou, Zhong Yi was able to use a regiment of troops to shake the two infantry wings of the Imperial Army in Xinjiekou, which shows that his ability is strong, and now Zhong Yi has a heavy army, it is even more difficult to deal with!

The reason why Yoshio Shinozuka knew that he couldn't do it was just to take the cruel facts and warn the East Kurenomiya Tsugahiko that destroying the fortress of Hankou Railway Station, Guishan Fortress, and Snake Mountain Fortress did not mean that the Japanese army had won the battle of Wuhan! The battle of Wuhan is far from the moment to determine the winner or loser!

Half an hour later, the 3rd Infantry Brigade, which had sorted, was no longer able to move forward.

Finding that the Japanese army had reached the end of the crossbow, the opposing national army immediately launched a counterattack!

Under the onslaught of the national army, the Japanese army only held out for a moment and did not retreat!

The national army pursued and killed for 200 meters, and only stopped the pursuit until the Japanese army was driven to the vicinity of Xinglong Lane, which was less than 100 meters away from the city gate, and this distance was also pinched just right.

If you continue to chase forward, you will be blocked by the Japanese troops guarding the city walls!

Seeing that the national army chased back like a tide a hundred meters away, Mao Limo was so angry that he stomped his feet!

"Baga, these Chinese troops are really cunning!" Mao Li Suhiro said angrily, "If they chase another fifty meters, they will be completely within the range of the machine gun brigade!" ”

Yoshio Shinozuka shook his head and said, "Mao Lijun, go down and count it quickly and see how many people are left in the 3rd Infantry Brigade?" ”

"Hello!" Maori Mohiro shook his head and hurried down the castle tower with his saber on his shoulder.

As soon as he got out of the city, he saw the sparse queue of the 3rd Infantry Brigade that had withdrawn, and Maori Suehiro felt that the situation was not good, but after an inventory, he found that the more than 1,000 officers and soldiers who had attacked had fled back less than 200 people!

In this sortie, the battle loss ratio was as high as eighty percent, which can be regarded as a fiasco!

……

It was not only the 10th Infantry Brigade, which was part of the 3rd Infantry Wing, that suffered a crushing defeat.

In this sortie, in addition to the 10th Infantry Wing, the 39th Infantry Wing and the 40th Infantry Wing also dispatched an infantry brigade to attack the Hankou Railway Station and the Hippodrome at the same time!

As a result, the offensive in all three directions, without exception, was a crushing defeat!

Among them, the 3rd Infantry Brigade of the 39th Infantry Wing, which attacked from the direction of the Hankou Railway Station, was the worst, and none of the more than 1,000 Japanese soldiers who attacked could escape back, and the whole army was wiped out!

The 40th Infantry Brigade of the 2nd Infantry Wing, which attacked the racecourse on the right flank, was in a slightly better situation, but the more than 1,000 Japanese soldiers who attacked also lost more than 500!

In just one big attack, the 10th Division lost more than 2,000 infantry! It can be described as a heavy casualty!
