"Hello!" Yoshio Shinozuka nodded and said, "There is no doubt that this person must be a top architect!" ”

"Yaga!" Dongjiu Gong Twist Yan cursed, and said, "So, is there really no way to open this closed chain lock that Zhong Yi worked so hard to build in Wuhan?" ”

After a pause, Higashikuremiya Tsusahiko continued: "Or, is there really only one way left to attack?" ”

"Your Highness, I have thought of a stupid solution." Yoshio Shinozuka said, "That's digging tunnels." ”

"Nani, digging tunnels?" Higashikurenomiya Tsugahiko frowned and said, "Dig a tunnel to lead directly to the city of Hankou, and then attack directly to the city of Hankou from the tunnel?" It doesn't seem like a good option either. ”

"Your Highness, no." Yoshio Shinozuka shook his head and said, "I only plan to dig the tunnel under the fortress of Hankou Railway Station, and then carry out the sapper blasting!" As long as the fortress of Hankou Railway Station is blown up, the entire urban area of Hankou will be at your fingertips, and even if the Chinese army has long-range artillery fire from the Turtle Mountain and Snake Mountain fortresses, it is useless! ”

"Yo Xi!" Higashikurenomiya nodded happily, "This is indeed a solution. ”

After a pause, Dongjiu Gong Twist Yan said again: "Moreover, this method can be used in Hanyang and Wuchang!" ”

"Hello!" Yoshio Shinozuka said, "It may take longer to use the method of sapper blasting in Kameyama and Snake Mountain, but the effect is certain. ”

"Yo Xi!" Higashikurenomiya Twist said, "Shinozuka-kun, then what are we waiting for, hurry up?" ”

"Hello!" Yoshio Shinozuka suddenly said, "Your Highness doesn't know, as early as half a month ago, the humble post had already asked the engineer wing to dig the tunnel, and now it is almost under the ground of the fortress of the Hankou Railway Station!" ”

"yes, that's great!" Higashikurenomiya Tsugahiko was overjoyed when he heard this.

……

At this time, at the observation post of Yuwang Palace.

Zhong Yi handed over the map drawn by himself to Zhang Shiliang and said, "Adjutant Zhang, immediately hand over this map to the battalion commander of the independent heavy artillery battalion, and ask them to carry out artillery bombardment immediately according to the parameters marked on the map!" ”

"Yes!" Zhang Shiliang agreed, took the map from Zhong Yi's hand and turned to leave.

Seeing Zhang Shiliang's figure leave, Sun Liren and Stilwell came behind the artillery mirror at the same time.

Less than a moment later, rows of shells whizzed out of the artillery positions of the Guishan fortress, and the shells flew in the air for about a few tens of seconds, and finally landed on the north side of the Hankou railway station.

The continuous explosion sound of "boom boom boom ......" instantly resounded in the sky.

Sun Liren and Stilwell looked across the Han River through the vision of the artillery mirror, and saw that the smoke of gunpowder had risen in the wilderness north of the Hankou Railway Station.

And the strange thing is that these gunsmoke do not form sheets, but into strips!

The cannonballs fired by the artillery group of the Turtle Mountain Fortress formed a straight line!

……

This strange scene happened to be discovered by Higashikurenomiya Twisthiko and Yoshio Shinozuka in the sky.

Higashikurenomiya didn't know what to do, and said in surprise: "Qitori, what kind of madness is this from the Chinese artillery?" We didn't attack at all, what are they doing with artillery? ”

After a pause, he continued: "And the landing point of the shell is also inexplicable, how can there be such a cannon?" Isn't this a pure waste of shells? What is the Chinese army doing? ”

After finishing speaking, Higashikurenomiya Twistahiko suddenly noticed something unusual.

What's unusual? Yoshio Shinozuka didn't make a sound all the time.

When Higashikurenomiya looked back, he saw that Yoshio Shinozuka was already so angry that his face was pale, and his hands holding the guardrail were trembling slightly, and he seemed to be angry!

At that moment, Dongkurenomiya Twist Hiko said in surprise: "Shinozuka-kun, you are ......"

Halfway through the words, Higashikurenomiya Tsukihiko suddenly reacted and shouted: "Shinozuka-kun, the location of the artillery bombardment of the Shina Army should be the location where your 10th Engineer Wing dug the tunnel, right?" ”

"Your Highness, you guessed it!" Yoshio Shinozuka gritted his teeth and said, "That's it! ”

"Yaga!" Dongjiu Gong changed his face, "In other words, Zhong Yi has already seen through it?" ”

"Hello!" Yoshio Shinozuka was stunned and said, "If the humble position is not wrong, he should have seen through it a long time ago!" ”

"However, I didn't finally do it until today! Because today, your 10th Engineer Wing is about to be completed, and Zhong Yi chose to do it today, just to let Shinozuka-kun and your 10th Engineer Wing taste the cruel taste of being defeated miserably on the eve of victory! Dongjiu Gong said awe-inspiringly, "Zhong Yi, this is murder!" ”

"Hello!" Yoshio Shinozuka paused again, but smiled bitterly in his heart, can you not say it? When I say it, it seems that I, Yoshio Shinozuka, am like an idiot, being toyed with by Zhong Yi!

The next moment, Yoshio Shinozuka felt a salty rush in his throat!

But Yoshio Shinozuka swallowed this salty and fishy back!

But Yoshio Shinozuka's face turned as white as paper in an instant!

At that moment, Higashikurenomiya said with concern: "Shinozuka-kun, your face is very bad, are you okay?" ”

"It's fine!" Yoshio Shinozuka shook his head with self-support, and continued, "Your Highness, let's go down." ”

"It's fine." Hearing this, Higashikurenomiya shook his head lightly and motioned for the meteorological observation team to lower the sounding balloon.

……

As soon as he returned to the ground, Yoshio Shinozuka led the Higashikurenomiya Twisthiko straight to the tunnel entrance.

When the two arrived at the tunnel entrance, the medical staff of the field hospital of the 10th Division were carrying corpses one by one.

These corpses were all shirtless, wearing only a pair of crotch pants on their bodies, and there were no scars on their bodies, but there were large patches of black green, which looked like they had been crushed to death!

The chief of staff of the 10th Division, Causeway Bu Gui, had already arrived first.

Seeing the Higashikure Palace Twisthiko and Yoshio Shinozuka, the embankment was not expensive, so he hurried forward.

"Your Highness, Division Commander!" Di Bugui shook his head, and then said, "The artillery bombardment of the Chinese army came very suddenly, and the officers and men of the engineering wing did not have time to withdraw from the tunnel, so they ......"

Yoshio Shinozuka waved his hand and asked in a deep voice, "How many people have been rescued?" ”

Di Bujiagui replied in a heavy tone: "Due to the large-scale collapse of the tunnel, it is very difficult to rescue, and until now, less than 200 people have been dug out!" Moreover, all of them have already given their lives for the Empire! ”

"Yaga, Yalu!" Hearing this, Yoshio Shinozuka once again had a strong salty smell in his throat, and this time he couldn't suppress it anymore, and at that moment, he spurted out old blood with a pop, and his whole body fell backwards.

"Division Commander!"

"Shinozuka-kun!"

Higashikurenomiya Twisthiko and Tsutsumi did not clamp Gui hurriedly stepped forward and supported Yoshio Shinozuka.
