At the same time, in the Five Prisons Palace.

Zhang Shiliang said to Zhong Yi: "Counselor, yesterday day, the two battlefields of Hankou and Hanyang combined, our army killed nearly 6,000 officers and soldiers, and killed more than 3,000 devils!" ”

Zhu Liangcheng said: "That is to say, the casualty ratio of the enemy and us has been narrowed to one to two!" ”

"This is the expected result!" Zhong Yi said lightly, "As the battle continues to deepen, as long as the morale is not damaged, the combat effectiveness of our army will only get stronger and stronger!" The casualty ratio of both sides will be further narrowed, and even surpassed! ”

"That's for sure!" Zhu Liangcheng nodded, and asked again, "By the way, Ziren, now let you do it, I don't know how many people we have left, how many people do we have left?" ”

"100,000 people!" Zhong Yi replied, "But on the devil's side, we have only 75,000 people left!" ”

"Where's the devil?" Zhu Liangcheng said, "How many people are left in the second army of the East Kuremiya Tsugahiko now?" ”

Zhong Yi replied: "Based on the intelligence from all sides, there are about 135,000 people left in the Second Army of the East Kureji Palace!" ”

Zhu Liangcheng said: "The gap in strength is not very large, if we continue to consume like this, the first ones who can't hold on will definitely be the devils, not us!" ”

……

In the blink of an eye, six days have passed, and the time has come to August 30th!

Today's Higashikure Palace Twisthiko is unusual, he gets up early at six o'clock in the morning, and sits for an hour in front of the blackboard with the figures of the remaining strength of the Chinese and Japanese armies!

I saw that the two sets of numbers on the blackboard have changed!

The number of Chinese troops has gone from 74,000 six days ago to 14,000.

However, behind this 14000, there is a question mark! I don't know why, the more it gets to the end, the more bottomless Higashikurenomiya Twisthiko's heart becomes!

Looking at the number of Japanese troops, it has also changed from 137,000 people six days ago to 116,000 people, and in just six days, the second army has killed more than 21,000 people!

It is no exaggeration to say that the number of troops of the Second Army has dropped to a very dangerous number!

Because the Second Army is now alone in depth, the nearest Japanese troops are at least 500 miles away, and around them, there are at least 600,000 troops in China's two theaters, the fifth theater and the ninth theater! Once the 600,000 troops of the Chinese in the two theaters of war swooped over desperately, it was still a great headache!

But fortunately, the strength of the defenders of Wuhan is close to exhaustion!

Taking Wuhan is just around the corner!

……

Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps coming from outside the tent.

When I looked back, I saw the chief of staff of the Second Army, Machijiri Miki, walking in with a saber on his shoulder.

"Your Highness!" Machijiri Liangji was stunned and said, "Yesterday the Imperial Army lost more than 3,000 people!" ”

"Yaga!" Higashikurenomiya cursed in a low voice, and immediately picked up a chalk eraser to erase the Japanese casualties on the blackboard, and re-wrote 113,000!

Then, Higashikurenomiya asked, "So, how many of those armies have you killed?" ”

"Hello!" Machijiri Liangji was stunned, "The number of Chinese troops killed today is less than yesterday, only less than six thousand!" ”

"Nani?" Qing Shui Xi, the commander of the 116th Division who happened to be next to him, said awe-inspiringly, "The imperial army has lost more than 3,000 casualties, but the Chinese army has lost less than 6,000 casualties. ”

"Hello!" Machijiri Liangji paused, "But this is also understandable, after all, with a large number of dead in the defenders of China, the rest are real elites, and the combat effectiveness will definitely improve compared to before!" Even with the Imperial Army, it is very close, and it is normal to have a casualty ratio of 1 to 2! ”

After a pause, Machijiri said again: "But fortunately, the strength of the Shina Army is close to exhaustion!" ”

While speaking, Machijiri walked over to the blackboard and changed the number of troops of the Chinese army from 14,000 to 8,000!

"Yo Xi!" Higashikurenomiya Tsugahiko nodded happily and said, "This means that the strength of the defenders of Wuhan is only more than 8,000 people, and they may not even be able to survive today!" ”

After a pause, Higashikurenomiya said again: "Machijiri-kun, given that the strength of the Shina Army is already less than 10,000 people, there is no need to be as conservative as before, and it is completely possible to invest more troops and launch a larger-scale attack!" Be sure to take Hankow and Hanyang before it gets dark! ”

"Hello!" Machijiri Measure Keaton said, "Your Highness, how many troops should I invest?" ”

After pondering for a moment, Higashikurenomiya said after pondering: "The two battlefields of Hankou and Hanyang are combined, and at least four wings and more than 13,000 imperial soldiers will be invested!" ”

"Hello!"

……

In Chongqing, the combat hall of the high command.

Principal Chang once again came to the headquarters.

"For the chapter!" President Chang asked Liu Shengdao, "This is the situation in Wuhan now. ”

"Headmaster!" Liu Sheng replied with a solemn expression, "The situation is very bad! ”

"What's wrong?" Principal Chang's heart suddenly burst into trouble, and he said, "What's a bad method?" ”

Liu Shengdao: "According to the information provided by the Wuhan Garrison Command, the strength of the Wuhan defenders is close to exhaustion, and as of this morning, the total number of troops is less than 10,000!" ”

"What, it's less than 10,000 people!" Principal Chang's face changed drastically, "This means that Hankou and Hanyang are likely to be lost today, right?" ”

"Yes!" Liu Sheng said bitterly, "If nothing happens, Hankou and Hanyang will be lost today!" ”

After a pause, Liu Sheng sighed lightly and said: "I said a long time ago that unless a miracle happens, it is impossible for the three towns of Wuhan to be defended no matter what!" ”

Principal Chang immediately turned his gaze to Bai Chongbei, the acting commander-in-chief of the Fifth War Zone, and said in a deep voice: "Jiansheng, if the Fifth War Zone counterattacks now, how sure are you?" ”

Bai Chongbei frowned and said: "The Fifth Theater originally had 500,000 troops, but in the process of blocking the Japanese army's advance to Wuhan, it lost at least 250,000, and now after a few months of rectification, although the number of troops has recovered to 400,000, the combat effectiveness is very worrying. ”

Principal Chang turned his gaze to Chen Shi again, and said in a deep voice: "What if you add the troops of the Ninth War Zone? ”

"Still not sure!" Bai Chongbei spread his hands and said, "Although the Ninth War Zone originally had 500,000 troops, after more than two months of fierce fighting with the 11th Army of Okamura Ningci on the Hunan and Jiangxi borders, it has been sharply reduced to less than 200,000 people, of which 100,000 people still have to hold near the fortress of Tianjia Town, so there are not many troops to come to Wuhan at all!" ”

Principal Chang's face completely collapsed, and he said in a deep voice: "Is there really no way?" ”

"Headmaster, I'm afraid so." Liu Sheng replied helplessly, "In the battle of Wuhan, we lost again." ”

In an instant, the entire battle hall became deathly silent.
