Liu Sheng and Bai Chongbei's expressions were inevitably a little excited.

Liu Sheng's heart was full of fire, and he would find an opportunity to immediately start fighting back.

Liu Sheng said: "I said a long time ago that we are far away in Chongqing and do not understand the actual situation on the front line, so it is better not to intervene too much, but to fully trust the commander of the front line!" ”

After a pause, Liu Sheng said to Principal Chang again: "Fortunately, the principal's determination is outstanding, and he didn't listen to the alarmist words of some cowardly people, otherwise, I'm afraid there would not be this beautiful counterattack!" ”

When Principal Chang heard this, he inevitably felt a slight fever on his face.

When Chen Shi heard this, he was furious, and said angrily: "Who do you say is a coward." ”

Liu Sheng laughed and said: "Cowardice is not terrible, whoever answers is embarrassed." ”

Chen Shi became more and more angry, and said angrily: "Liu Sheng, you make it clear!" ”

"That's it!" Principal Chang couldn't stand it, and snorted coldly and said, "They are all senior generals of the party-state, what do you say in public?" Shut up! ”

Chen Shi was unwilling to shut up.

At this time, He Yingpei said: "I just said for Brother Zhang that the Wuhan Garrison's night counterattack was a beautiful counterattack, I'm afraid it's an exaggeration, right?" ”

"yes." Xu Yongsheng also said, "It can be said on the telegram that in order to kill these more than 9,000 devils, the Wuhan garrison has paid more than twice the price of casualties!" ”

"Double the casualties is already good!" Bai Chongbei retorted, "Look at the Battle of Songhu, look at the Battle of Nanjing, and then look at the Battle of Xuzhou, even if it is the Battle of Taierzhuang, have we ever fought a casualty ratio of two to one?" What's more, the Wuhan garrison not only achieved a casualty ratio of two to one, but also recovered the positions lost during the day! ”

"What if it's recovered?" Chen Shi finally calmed down and counterattacked, "Even if the position is recaptured, the fortifications built in the Wuhan garrison before must have been destroyed by the Japanese army, which means that in the next battle, our army will have no danger to defend, and can only fill it with human lives!" ”

He Yingpei snorted lightly and said: "What the rhetoric said is reasonable, yesterday was just a fluke, if the Wuhan garrison can still play a casualty ratio of two to one today, that is the real ability!" ”

Liu Sheng: "Then let's wait and see!" ”

Chen Shi responded coldly: "Okay! ”

……

Around half-past four in the morning, it was the darkest hour before dawn.

Higashikurenomiya Tsusahiko once again summoned the four division commanders of Yoshio Shinozuka, Tatsubei Ogisu, Kishige Shimizu and Keisuke Fujie into his big tent!

When they entered the door, Ogishu Libing and Shimizu Kishige were in a heavy mood.

The Chinese army ate up a wing of them with just one counterattack, and if there were four more such counterattacks, their entire division would be in ruins! In the face of such a tough opponent and such a cruel reality, how can their hearts not be heavy? The Battle of Hankow was far more difficult than they expected.

Of course, in addition to the heavy mood, the two are also a little dissatisfied!

It was dissatisfaction with the Higashikurenomiya Twister, and both of them insisted that it was the jade-burning tactics of the Higashikuremiya Twisthiko that caused the destruction of the three wings that attacked!

If it weren't for the shelling of the heavy artillery group of the Second Army, even if the three infantry wings were besieged by the Chinese army, they would definitely not be completely wiped out, and at least half of them would have escaped!

Seriously, they really can't understand why Tokuremiya Tsusahiko is engaged in the cruel tactics of jade burning?

From the expressions of Ogisu Tatsubei and Shimizu Kishige, Higashikurenomiya Tsukihiko could guess what they were thinking, but he didn't want to explain anything at all.

As a commander, he is not obliged to explain his decision to his subordinates!

If he can be like Yoshio Shinozuka, he has a clear understanding of the enemy and his own strength, and Higashikurenomiya Twisthiko will be very pleased, but if he can't do this, it's nothing, he just needs to resolutely carry out the order! Ogisu Ribei and Shimizu Kishige clearly belong to the latter!

At that moment, the Dongjiu Palace said in a deep voice: "Gentlemen, in the counterattack battle in the early hours of this morning, the Chinese army did cause heavy losses to the imperial army, and the three elite infantry wings were collectively shattered, for which I am extremely sad and deeply guilty!" ”

The four division commanders of Ogisu Tatsubing, Shinozuka Yoshio, Shimizu Kishishige and Fujie Keisuke were silent.

After a pause, Higashikurenomiya Tsukihiko continued: "But what I want to emphasize is that under the blow of the heavy artillery group of our Second Army, the price that the Chinese army will have to pay will only be much heavier than that of the imperial army!" So in general, the comparison of the strength of the enemy and us is evolving in favor of the imperial army! ”

"Yesterday, the troops that broke into the city occupied almost three-fifths of the city!"

"Considering that after the imperial army broke into the city yesterday, it has destroyed a large number of fortifications of the Chinese army, so today's attack will only be smoother, so today's preset goal is to occupy at least four-fifths of the urban area of Hankou!"

Speaking of this, there was another pause, and Higashikurenomiya Twist Yan picked up the wooden pole and pointed to the sand table and said: "That is to say, it is necessary to compress the defenders of China into the narrow area between Baojia Lane, Huangpi Street, and Michang Street!" Is there confidence? ”

Yoshio Shinozuka snapped upright, and said proudly: "Your Highness, rest assured, our 10th Division guarantees to complete the task!" ”

Ogizhou Libing snorted coldly and said in a deep voice: "Your 10th Division has the shortest attack distance, of course there is no problem, but the attack distance of our 13th Division and the 116th Division is twice that of your 10th Division!" ”

Yoshio Shinozuka's eyes swept over coldly, and said, "Ogisu-kun, I can exchange with you!" ”

"Forget it!" Ogishu Libing said coldly, "I didn't think about picking up your cheap Yoshio Shinozuka!" ”

On the other side, Shimizu Kishige suddenly said: "There is no problem in breaking through to Michang Street, but I wonder if the Zhina Army launches another counterattack in the early hours of tomorrow morning, will His Highness order the artillery to carry out indiscriminate shelling again?" ”

"Yaga!" Higashikurenomiya Tsukihiko said angrily, "Shimizu-kun, are you questioning my decision? ”

"Hello!" Qing Shui Xi retracted his feet suddenly, and then paused again.

Higashikurenomiya was really angry, and Shimizu was still a little jealous.

In any case, Higashikurenomiya Tsuruhiko is a member of the royal family, and he is also a rare soldier among the royal family! It's really annoying Higashikurenomiya Twisthiko, he has no good fruit to eat!

Higashikurenomiya snorted, and said: "Qing Shui-kun, and Ogi-su-kun, you are in a bad mood at the moment, I can understand this, but the order must be carried out!" Otherwise, don't blame me for being unkind to you! ”

After a pause, he said, "Let's all go back, and attack on time at six o'clock!" ”

"Hayi" Yoshio Shinozuka and Yoshio Shinozuka all shook their heads together and turned to leave.
