On Mt. Toyo, the Japanese army observation post.

At first, the expressions of Higashikurenomiya Twistahiko and Machijiri Liangji were still very relaxed, but as time passed, the faces of the two became gloomy a little bit.

Because the battle situation in Hankou and Hanyang did not evolve in the direction expected by the two of them!

They originally thought that the defenders of Hankou and Hanyang were not only close to exhaustion, but also overdrawn in physical strength, so it was impossible to block the second round of the Japanese army's general attack, and the battle would be over by noon at the latest! The remnants of the defenders will be driven into the Yangtze River and Hankou to feed the fish!

However, the harsh reality gave them a resounding slap in the face!

At noon, the defenders of Hankou and Hanyang were not fed fish in the Yangtze River, but gradually stabilized their positions from the initial passivity! The local war even launched a fierce counterattack!

Such a result is really a bit unexpected by the two old devils!

Through the field of vision of the artillery mirror, Higashikurenomiya Tsukihiko clearly saw that the battle line in Hankou was pushed back little by little by the Chinese army, and pushed back to the enemy-friend posture before the second round of general attack was launched in the morning!

"Yaga Yaru!" Higashikurenomiya couldn't hold back the anger in his chest anymore, pushed down the artillery mirror in front of him, and roared with his fist, "What is this idiot doing in Ogisu, what is he doing?" ”

After a pause, Dongjiu Gong said angrily: "Obviously, there are not a few soldiers left in Hankou City, and the only few remaining soldiers are exhausted, he launched a general attack with the strength of two infantry wings, as well as the coordination of chariot troops and artillery units, why can't he take it?" Why can't you take it! ”

Machijiri was speechless, and he couldn't figure it out, why the 13th Division still couldn't take Hankow?

It's just that it doesn't seem to be the only 13th Division that can't be taken, but the 10th Division of Yoshio Shinozuka, which has always been known for its resourcefulness and ability to fight tough battles, also failed to take Hanyang!

Machijiri was puzzled, why did the Chinese army, which was already on the verge of collapse, suddenly regain its combat effectiveness? Or even more ferocious than before?

At this time, Mei Igarashi, the adjutant of Higashikure Palace, hurriedly climbed the mountain.

Mei Igarashi still had a radio in her arms, and after entering the observation post, she said to Higashikurenomiya Tsuhiko, "Your Highness, you should listen to the voice of the Jiang Han of the Shina people. ”

"Voice of Jianghan?" Higashikuremiya asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Mei Igarashi didn't say much, but turned on the radio and tuned to the frequency of Jianghan's voice.

The next moment, a singing voice immediately came out of the radio, and although Tsukihiko Higashikunomiya didn't understand it, Mei Igarashi understood Chinese, and she translated it on the spot.

Listening to Mei Igarashi's translation, Higashikunomiya Twisthiko and Machijiri Liangji immediately changed their faces.

"Yaga, I see!" Machijiri Kimichi, "It must be because of this song!" ”

"It's not because of the song itself." Hearing this, Higashikurenomiya shook his head and said awe-inspiringly, "It's the love hidden behind this song!" Love for mothers, love for lovers, deep love for hometown and motherland! It is this power of love that has successfully unleashed the potential of the Chinese army! Help them hold out in this brutal battle! ”

"Damn!" Machijiri said hatefully, "Zhong Yi, this guy is really scheming, all kinds of conspiracies, all kinds of unbelievable means emerge in an endless stream, it's really hard to guard against!" ”

Higashikurenomiya waved his hand and said: "But this kind of incentive is like smoking opium, which can greatly stimulate potential in a short period of time, but as soon as the time limit is up, the smoker will become even weaker!" I want to see how long this spiritual victory method of the Chinese army can last? ”

After a pause, he continued: "Order, the 13th Division and the 10th Division don't care about casualties, let alone have any scruples, and give me an all-out attack!" Fight until the collapse of the Chinese army! ”

"Hello!" The amount of the town was heavy.

……

In the temple of the Dragon King in Hankou, the underground headquarters.

Zhang Shiliang walked quickly in front of Zhong Yi and reported: "Attendee, as of one o'clock in the afternoon, the divisions and brigades in the Hanyang and Hankou battlefields have basically stabilized the defensive line, and some have even turned to the counteroffensive!" ”

Hearing this, Feng Yuxiang couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

Stilwell on the side couldn't help but give Zhong Yi a thumbs up!

Zhong Yi nodded and said, "Since the divisions and brigades have stabilized the defensive line, then you can change the song!" ”

After a pause, he said: "Inform Minister Xiao, say a word from your heart no longer need to broadcast it, from now on, repeat the theme song of returning my mountains and rivers The flag is fluttering, as well as the army song!" ”

"Yes!" Zhang Shiliang snapped upright.

……

Half an hour later, the battlefield of Hanyang.

Yoshio Shinozuka finally couldn't hold it anymore and went up to the forward observation post in person.

Through the binoculars, Yoshio Shinozuka could clearly see that the battle at the street intersection ahead had reached a stalemate, and the Japanese army was unable to continue to advance, but the national army was also unable to launch a counteroffensive!

The two armies are like two tug-of-war teams, temporarily stalemate!

But this stalemate is extremely cruel, because every minute, every second, there will be a large number of casualties, Rao is Shinozuka Yoshio is used to seeing big scenes, and he can't help but feel dry!

Licking his somewhat chapped lips, Yoshio Shinozuka asked, "Which unit of the Shina Army is in front?" ”

"It's Sun Liren's new 38th Division!" Di Bujiagui replied, "Sun Liren, like Zhong Yi, is also a foreigner, graduated from the Virginia Military Academy in the United States!" ”

"Yaga Yaru!" Yoshio Shinozuka cursed in a low voice, and suddenly heard a burst of singing in his ears, and said, "It seems to be singing?" What song is this? ”

"The flag is flying!" Di Bujia is really a Chinese expert, and immediately replied without thinking, "It's an episode of a sound feature film released five years ago in China, and the title of this feature film is called Return My Mountains and Rivers!" I've seen it too! It's an excellent feature film! ”

"Give me back the mountains and rivers?" Yoshio Shinozuka said awe-inspiringly, "This song is really imposing!" ”

"Hello!" Di Bujiagui paused and said, "In the second stage of the defense of Nanjing, the 367th Regiment that held Xinjiekou sang this song and fought two days and nights of brutal street fighting with the two infantry wings of the Tenth Army, and in the end, more than 2,000 officers and soldiers were almost all killed, but it also successfully awakened the fighting spirit of the 100,000 defeated soldiers in the safety zone!" ”

"Sodesnay!" When Yoshio Shinozuka heard this, a gloomy color flashed in his eyes.

I don't know why, Yoshio Shinozuka vaguely feels that something bad is going to happen!
