Chapter 449: The Big Fish Is Coming!
At about half past four in the afternoon, the main forces of the 40th Infantry Wing finally arrived.
The 40th Infantry Wing was formed in Tottori, so it was also called the Totiri Wing.
Wing Commander Nishiojo Fat was obviously a little angry, he thought that the main force of the wing could rush to the outside of Hankou before four o'clock, in this way, even if he could not occupy Hankou in one go, at least he would have enough time to clear the outer defense line of the Chinese army, but he did not expect that in the end, it was half an hour slower!
The previous continuous battles still had a great impact on the Tottori Wing.
But fortunately, the 1st Infantry Brigade that played the vanguard did not disappoint him, and actually seized the outer fortifications of the Hankou railway station before dark!
By the time Nishi-Ojo arrived with the main force of the Tottori Wing, the Komiyayama Brigade had already built a complete set of heavy machine-gun fire points on the two arc-shaped trenches, and a large number of firepower points were also constructed in the middle of the two trenches, and the officers and men of the 1st Brigade were digging trenches on both sides to connect the two arc-shaped trenches in front and rear.
As soon as the trenches are surrounded, it directly becomes a camp!
Nishi-Ojo didn't think much about it, and immediately ordered the Tottori team to enter the camp!
The main force of the wing settled in the camp, but Nishiojo Fat took Yuji Takeuchi and Komiyayama Ichiro, and couldn't wait to climb the small mountain bag in the middle of the camp.
Ascending to the top of the mountain, Komiya Yamoichiro couldn't help but give another merciless taunt.
Komiyayama Ichiro snorted and said: "These police officers are really stupid, there is such a striking commanding height in the middle of the two permanent fortifications in front and back, but no fortifications have been built on them!" It's stupid! β
"After all, it's just a policeman, not a regular army." Yuji Takeuchi paused, and then said, "But it's also strange, where did the regular army go?" Why is there only a group of policemen guarding Hankou? β
"The regular army of China?" Nishidaijo was chubby, "Then you don't need to say it, you must have run away!" β
"Ran away?" Yuji Takeuchi was stunned and said, "No." β
"What's not to do." Xi Datiao said abruptly, "Let's fight all the way from Xuzhou, when have you seen the regular army of China defending the city?" β
Yuji Takeuchi was speechless.
The Japanese army fought all the way, and the Chinese army really did not defend the city, basically only ambushed and harassed them in the field, or detoured behind them to attack the towns and strongholds captured by the Japanese army.
Not to mention, this kind of fighting made the Japanese army very passive, and in the end there was really no choice but to divide the troops and sweep away.
This not only greatly delayed the advance of the Japanese army, but also seriously dispersed the strength of the Japanese army!
When the Second Army first set out, it had a full strength of five divisions, but by now only three divisions were still advancing, and the other two divisions had been dispersed to the vast occupied area for vigilance.
Nishidaijo Fat raised his binoculars and said while observing: "Defend the city, it is impossible for the Chinese army to defend the city, at most, it is to leave a few policemen to pretend!" But the bunker group in front is still a little tricky! β
"Hello." Komiyayama Ichiro also paused and said, "I also saw just now, this bunker group is composed of three large main bunkers and a dozen sub-bunkers on the periphery, which can provide fire cover for each other. β
After a pause, Komiyayama Ichiro said again: "If you attack, the casualties will be very large!" β
Although the Chinese police guarding the city on the opposite side are like scum, they hide in the strong pillboxes and use machine gun fire to pose a deadly threat to the Japanese army!
Nishidaijo frowned and said, "It's getting late today, it's too late, wait for your 1st Brigade to make a tentative attack tomorrow morning, if you can take it, of course it's great, if you can't take it, call for aviation support, and see if the aviation can blow up this bunker group!" β
After a pause, he continued: "If the aviation can't blow up these pillboxes, then don't worry too much, go around from the left and right flanks of the pillboxes, and directly attack the city of Hankou!" A bunker group can hold two thousand meters wide at most, and it can't hold the entire Hankou at all! β
"Hello!"
β¦β¦
When Xi Datiao Fat was observing the bunker group, Zhong Yi and the others were also observing the movements of the Japanese army in the bunker.
"Lao Zhu, the big fish is here!" The corners of Zhong Yi's mouth hooked slightly, and he said proudly, "Let the 1st regiment be ready to attack!" β
"Tuanza, are you going to attack at night?" Zhu Liangcheng said, "Have the artillery positions of the Turtle Mountain and Snake Mountain Fortresses been measured for shooting Zhuyuan in all areas outside Hankou City?" β
Zhong Yi smiled and said, "It's already been measured!" β
"Really? That's enough for a little devil to drink a pot tonight! Zhu Liangcheng said, "24 155mm caliber field howitzers, only one wave of firepower coverage, can blow up the devils outside the city, our 1st regiment and another assault, can easily defeat the devils, this battle is difficult to lose!" β
"Defeated?" Zhong Yi shook his head and said, "Mine is not defeated, but annihilated!" β
After a pause, Zhong Yi stretched out his hand and pointed to the devil camp in front of him, and said in a cruel voice: "I want to take the heads of these more than 3,000 devils to set the tone for the defense of Wuhan: our army will win, and the devils will lose!" β
"Annihilation?!" Zhu Liangcheng frowned and said, "Tuanzao, this is not easy!" β
Zhong Yi said: "If I say yes, I will do it!" β
Zhu Liangcheng was awe-struck when he heard this.
β¦β¦
At the same time, at the Wuhan Garrison Command.
Xiao Bing is in the process of final commissioning of the equipment.
Three months ago, not long after the establishment of the Wuhan Garrison Command, Zhong Yi transferred Xiao Bing from the 367 Brigade to the Wuhan Garrison Command, responsible for preparing the Voice of Jianghan.
The Battle of Nanking has fully proved that war radio has an extraordinary role in the battle!
Therefore, for such a sharp blade, of course Zhong Yi will not ignore it, and immediately transferred Xiao Bing to the Wuhan Garrison Headquarters and was responsible for preparing the Voice of Jianghan column group!
After three months of intense preparation, the Voice of Jianghan is finally about to premiere!
Compared with the Voice of Nanjing, the column group of the Voice of Jianghan is much more formal, and Xiao Bing is no longer the commander of the light pole, and there are not only anchors, editors, and directors under him, but even more than a dozen specialized war correspondents!
At this time, Xiao Bing is gathering more than 20 people from the entire column group for the final audition.
Halfway through the audition, Hibino Miko suddenly came in and reported: "Sister Xiao, there is someone looking for you outside." β
Xiao Bing asked the other personnel to continue trying, and then followed Hibino Miko to the gate of the radio station building, and then, saw a person who surprised her very much.
This person is none other than Zhong Yi's fiancΓ©e Zhang Manyi.
Looking at Zhang Manyi's delicate makeup, Xiao Bing couldn't help but feel jealous.
However, Xiao Bing quickly controlled his emotions and stepped forward with a smile.
