"Do not keep a buffer zone, push the line of defense out to the city walls?" Sun Liren's expression moved slightly.

Hanyang originally had a city wall, but most of it was demolished during the civil period, and the remaining city wall and several city gates were also reduced to ruins in the wind and rain.

Although it is a ruined wall, it is still more than enough as a fortification.

And as Chen Jingan said, if the defense line is pushed out near the city wall, you can avoid hand-to-hand combat with the devil in the streets and alleys, and the devil's individual combat power advantage will not be able to be played!

Thinking of this, Sun Liren was a little moved, maybe this method is feasible!

Zhong Yi said categorically: "No, the combat buffer zone must be preserved, and the defense line must not be extended to the city walls, we can't change the tactics because of the improvement of the devil's combat effectiveness, this is called passivity, this is called self-chaos!" ”

Sun Liren frowned and said: "But Ziren, if you continue to fight like this, the casualties are too great!" ”

"Our casualties are large, and the casualties of the devils will not be small, now it depends on whose will is more tenacious, and who can hold on to the end!" Zhong Yi said, "In short, I still say the same thing before, our national army will never be intimidated by the enemy!" No matter how strong the enemy is, no matter how dangerous the situation is, our national army will not be afraid! I won't admit it! ”

After Zhong Yi finished speaking, he turned around and left, leaving the others staring at each other in place.

……

At this time, in the Chongqing Command.

Principal Chang came to the headquarters again.

Recently, President Chang has been more diligent in coming to the headquarters.

But this is also normal, because the battle for the defense of Wuhan has entered the most critical decisive stage!

However, today, as soon as he walked into the battle hall, Principal Chang found that the atmosphere inside was different, whether it was senior generals such as Bai Chongbei and He Yingpei, or senior staff members such as Wen Yingxing and Yang Nan, all of them had very heavy faces.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, the senior generals and senior staff in the hall turned around one after another, and when they saw that it was Principal Chang, they hurriedly stood upright.

Principal Chang waved his hand and asked Bai Chongbei: "Jiansheng, look at the expression on your face, is there something wrong with Wuhan over there?" ”

"Yes." Bai Chongbei said, "Principal, I'm afraid there is a big trouble in Wuhan!" ”

"Big trouble?" Principal Chang's heart sank when he heard this, and he said, "What's the trouble?" ”

Liu Sheng said: "I just received a telegram from the Wuhan Garrison Headquarters, saying that Higashikurenomiya Twist Yan followed Matsui Ishine and also held a killing competition in Wuhan!" Stimulated by the high bonus, the individual combat effectiveness of the Japanese army in Wuhan has been greatly improved, and in today's one-day street battle, the Wuhan defenders have suffered heavy losses! ”

"Heavy damage?" Principal Chang said in a deep voice, "How miserable? ”

Chen Shidao: "After a day of fierce fighting, the defenders of Wuhan lost more than 6,000 people, but there were only more than 600 corpses left by the devils on the battlefield!" ”

"What?" Principal Chang said in a deep voice, "A casualty ratio of one to ten!" ”

"One to ten shouldn't be enough, the devil must have taken away a considerable part of the corpses of the dead." Liu Sheng shook his head and continued, "However, the casualty ratio of one to five is still more credible!" ”

After a pause, Liu Sheng said again: "The Wuhan Garrison Command also thinks that one to five is more credible!" ”

"This is really a wave of just flattening, wave after wave!" Principal Chang frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Two days ago, the Wuhan Garrison just buried the three wings of the devil through 60,000 mines, and rewrote the casualty ratio of the enemy and us to one to one, but it hasn't been two days since I was happy, and the East Kuregong Twist Higashi has come up with this again!" ”

"Headmaster!" He Yingpei said, "This time is trickier than ever!" ”

"I know that!" Principal Chang nodded and said, "After all, Nanjing's Yin Jian is not far away!" ”

When the national army was in Nanjing, it suffered a big loss in this enemy-killing competition conducted by Matsui Shigen!

He Yingpei said again: "Principal, at present, there are about 150,000 troops in the Wuhan Garrison, and the strength of the Second Army of the East Jiuer Palace is also about 150,000, and the strength of the two sides is basically the same!" If the previous casualty ratio is followed, then the first to be unable to hold out must be the second army of Higashikure Miya, but now it ......"

Chen Shi continued: "But now, if according to today's fighting method, according to the casualty ratio of one to five, at most one month, the troops of the Wuhan Garrison will be basically exhausted, and the casualties of the Second Army of the East Jiuer Palace will be less than 20,000, then the plan formulated by the General Headquarters before the war will be completely defeated!" ”

"A month?" Liu Sheng shook his head and said very rarely, "I'm afraid I won't be able to last for a month!" ”

Liu Sheng's support made Chen Shi feel a little surprised, and he was a little stunned at the moment: "What do you mean by this for Brother Zhang?" ”

Liu Sheng sighed: "I mean, I'm afraid that the Wuhan garrison won't last for a month, at most about twenty days, and Wuhan's troops will be in an emergency!" ”

"Twenty days?" Chen Shi was stunned and said, "Isn't it?" ”

"As for!" Bai Chongbei also sighed, "Brother Ci Xiu thinks that the troops in Wuhan can hold out for a month, presumably counting all the wounded who have been wounded and healed, right?" ”

"Of course." Chen Shi nodded and said, "After all, our army controls the battlefield, and our wounded can be treated in time, so there is still a great chance that the injuries will heal." ”

"Not really!" Liu Sheng shook his head and said gloomily, "There is a factor that you didn't take into account. ”

"There's a factor I didn't take into account?" Chen Shi was stunned when he heard this, and said blankly, "What factor?" ”

"There are several field hospitals in the Wuhan Garrison Command, I'm afraid there are not so many medicines!" Bai Chongbei said, "If I guess correctly, at this time, the medicine in Wuhan is almost gone." ”

"What did you say?" Chen Shi, He Yingpei and others were awe-struck when they heard this.

Principal Chang's face also darkened.

……

Almost at the same time, Zhong Yi, accompanied by Zhu Liangcheng, was inspecting Hankou Hospital.

In order to prevent the Japanese bombing, the field hospitals in the three towns of Wuhan were built in underground bunkers, because the power supply was often interrupted, resulting in poor ventilation, so the smell in the hospital was very big!

But Zhong Yi hadn't seen any scenes, so he didn't feel any discomfort.

Zhong Yi was just a little distressed, feeling distressed that these wounded people couldn't get the best treatment!

In the 21st century, more than 99% of these wounded can be cured, but less than half of them are completely cured now, and most of them have to be amputated! Then become disabled!

The main cause of amputation is infection, and in this era when there are no antibiotics, wound infection is basically incurable!

When Zhong Yi passed by the operating room, he happened to encounter a doctor who was amputating a wounded man, and because of the burns, the wounded man's left leg below the knee had to be amputated.
