But Chen Shi and He Yingpei felt that no matter how powerful Zhong Yi was, he would definitely not be able to hold it today.

At that moment, He Yingpei said: "Principal, I must admit that Zhong Yi is really capable of fighting, but after three days of fierce fighting, there must be little strength left in the Wuhan Garrison." ”

After a pause, he said, "So, I can't hold it today." ”

"Yes." Chen Shi also echoed, "Before the Japanese army launched a general offensive, the strength of the Wuhan garrison was already less than 20,000, even if you add all the wounded in the field hospitals who can still fight, the strength will never exceed 30,000, and after three days of fierce fighting, it is good to have 35,000 people now." ”

Principal Chang said angrily, "Can't you just say something good? ”

He Yingpei said: "Principal, the facts are always disappointing! ”

Principal Chang snorted, turned his gaze to Liu Sheng again, and asked, "For Zhang, what do you think?" ”

Liu Sheng, like Chen Shi and He Yingpei, did not know the inside story of the increase in troops and the reduction of troops in the Wuhan garrison.

In Liu Sheng's cognition, before the general attack of the Japanese army, the strength of the Wuhan garrison was only 20,000.

After two days of fierce fighting, the Japanese army lost a full eight wings and more than 24,000 elite infantry!

Then, even according to the casualty ratio of one to one, the troops of the Wuhan garrison have been exhausted!

But on the third day, the troops of the Wuhan garrison miraculously held out and inflicted casualties on the Japanese army of four infantry wings!

But in this way, there will definitely be fewer troops in the Wuhan garrison!

Therefore, Liu Sheng basically agrees with Chen Shi's judgment that there are at most three or five thousand remnants in the Wuhan Garrison!

With such a small remnant, it is necessary to divide troops to garrison the two towns of Hankou and Hanyang, and the result can be imagined!

At that moment, Liu Sheng sighed lightly and said: "Principal, theoretically speaking, the troops of the Wuhan Garrison were exhausted before yesterday, so it is a miracle to be able to hold on to today!" ”

Principal Chang frowned and said, "So, you also think that you will inevitably lose today?" ”

"Yes." Liu Sheng sighed, "It's always not easy to accept the cruel reality, but I must say that Wuhan is only difficult to hold today." ”

When Principal Chang heard this, he fell into a long silence.

After a long time, Principal Chang said again: "However, whether the Wuhan garrison can hold out until tomorrow, and whether it can wait until the troops of the fifth and ninth theaters arrive, this counteroffensive is imperative!" ”

After a pause, he asked again: "Have the main forces of the Fifth Theater and the Ninth Theater completed the assembly?" ”

Liu Sheng replied: "Most of the main forces of the Third Corps and the Fourth Corps of the Fifth Theater have been assembled, but only two armies of the First Corps have been transferred from the Ninth Theater. ”

Chen Shi hurriedly said: "The troops of the Ninth Theater suffered heavy casualties in the confrontation with the 11th Army of Okamura Ningci on the Hunan and Jiangxi borders, plus the troops of the 2nd Corps also have to defend the fortress of Tianjiazhen to prevent the 6th Division of the Japanese Army and the Botian Detachment from advancing westward along both sides of the Yangtze River, so it is good to be able to draw out the two main forces!" ”

Liu Sheng rolled his eyes when he heard this, and stopped talking.

This is one of the reasons why the national army can't defeat the Japanese army!

At this time, Chen Shi is still taking care of preserving his strength and preserving his civil engineering department!

But then again, why didn't Principal Chang also have such thoughts? Anyway, the main forces of the Fifth Theater are mainly the Northwest Army and the Gui Army, and even if they are exhausted, there will be no loss to him, right?

Principal Chang really didn't have any regrets about the troops in the Fifth War Zone, and said in a deep voice: "Call Bai Chongbei and Xue Yue immediately, and the Third and Fourth Corps and the First Corps of the Fifth War Zone will immediately encircle in the direction of Wuhan!" Tell Bai Chongbei and Xue Yue that in two days, I will only give them two days, and they must rush to the periphery of Wuhan within two days! ”

"Yes!" Liu Sheng said solemnly.

……

In Hankow, the battle has completely entered the white-hot stage.

The Japanese army's tanks, armored vehicles, and anti-aircraft artillery have been exhausted, and similarly, the defenders' large-caliber heavy machine guns, anti-aircraft guns, and other equipment have also been depleted!

Moreover, the soldiers on both sides have completely killed the red eye, and often as soon as they charge, they stage white-knives battles!

"Poof!" Yang Jinqiu stabbed with a spear and knocked the devil Wu Chang in front of him to the ground, but the next moment, Yang Jinqiu also fell to the ground.

Fierce battles, tragic white-knuckle fights, the consumption of physical strength is very large!

From six o'clock in the morning to now, Yang Jinqiu has been fighting fiercely with the devil on the battlefield of Qinglong Street for more than four hours, and he is almost unable to hold on.

Yang Jinqiu sat down on the ground, gasping for breath.

Looking around again, there were less than fifty people left in a company of temporary formation!

Within a radius of 100 meters, up to now, only half of his remnant company remained!

And these less than fifty remnants are still as tired as Yang Jinqiu! They are in dire need of rest now!

However, the cruel reality did not give them a chance to breathe at all, and as soon as the previous group of devils was resolved, another group of devils appeared on the other side of Qinglong Street.

"Tao times change, Tao times change!"

The devil Shaozuo, who was the leader, raised his saber and raised his head to the sky and snorted.

In the next moment, hundreds of devils rushed over with the 38 big covers with bayonets on them, screaming and killing.

Yang Jinqiu took a deep breath and struggled to get up from the rubble, and the remaining forty or so remnants also stood up from the ruins and the rubble.

"The flag is fluttering, the horse is Xiao Xiao!"

In the direction of the Dragon King Temple, there was a passionate singing again.

Yang Jinqiu immediately tore his throat and roared: "The gun is on the shoulder, the knife is on the waist, the blood is like a frenzy!" ”

Immediately afterwards, less than fifty remnants of soldiers also roared: "The flag is fluttering, the horse is Xiao Xiao, a good man, a good man, a good man, serve the country today!" ”

In the blink of an eye, more than a hundred devils had rushed to the front.

"Die!" Yang Jinqiu roared and stabbed a spear at a devil private!

The devil private held his gun to block, only to hear the sound of the bang, and the two knives slammed together!

Yang Jinqiu was seriously overdrawn because of his physical strength, and the rifle in his hand was violently taken to the side by the devil, and the next moment, Yang Jinqiu turned the rifle in his hand sideways, and the birch butt had already been hit hard by the force and smashed heavily on the devil's lower abdomen.

The devil immediately whimpered, threw away the 38 big cover, and curled up with his hands on his crotch.

Only then did Yang Jinqiu turn his rifle and unhurriedly stabbed into the devil's vest.

Although his physical strength was seriously overdrawn, with countless combat experience of crawling out of the pile of dead, Yang Jinqiu could still easily kill the devil infantry in front of him in seconds!

But soon, a ghost soldier Cao Chang appeared in front of Yang Qiujin with a bayonet.

Yang Jinqiu's expression instantly became solemn, this devil army commander Cao is not very easy to deal with!
