Chapter 527: Real Battle
Time rewinds to a few minutes ago.
Surrounded by several division commanders such as Yoshio Shinozuka and Kishige Shimizu, as well as the chief of staff of the Second Army, Machijiri Mitsuki, the Higashikure Battalion, Toyohiko watched the battle at the Toyohayama Observation Post.
Seeing that more than 20 blockhouses in the Wudang Palace fortress on the left wing and the racecourse fortress on the right wing in Hankou City were destroyed one by one by the large-caliber cannons of the 10th Wing of the Field Heavy Artillery, Higashikurenomiya Tsugahiko and Yoshio Shinozuka were in a good mood.
Yoshio Shinozuka said sincerely: "Your Highness, without the containment of the artillery groups of the Turtle Mountain and Snake Mountain fortresses, it is really much easier to attack the two-wing pillboxes in the city of Hankou!" ”
Di Bugui also said sincerely: "Yes, before today, our cannons will not be able to fire directly at the bunkers of the Chinese army, and even the wilderness in front of us will not be able to cross!" ”
"yes!" Yoshio Shinozuka said, "Your Highness still has a way!" ”
"There's no way around it." Higashikurenomiya waved his hand and said, "If I had to choose, why would I be willing to take such an extreme approach?" ”
"Your Highness doesn't have to blame yourself for this!" Yoshio Shinozuka said, "As long as the result is right, it's good!" ”
The rest of Shimizu Shigeki and several other division commanders also nodded in agreement, as long as they could capture the three towns of Wuhan and force the Chinese government to surrender, what would it be to sacrifice three 96-type land attacks?
While a few old devils were talking, the Chinese army had been "driven out" of their positions and retreated into the city.
The four infantry squadrons of the 10th Division and the 3rd Squadron of the 5th Tank Brigade have also entered the Wudang Palace Fortress and the Racecourse Fortress for most of the attack.
Seeing this, Di Bujiagui couldn't help but say: "Your Highness, the imperial army is just around the corner to take Hankou!" ”
"Oh?" Higashikurenomiya Twist Yan sighed lightly, and said in surprise, "Why did you say that?" ”
"Hello!" Di Bugui shook his head and said, "Because Zhong Yi made a fatal mistake!" ”
"Really? What mistake did Zhong Yi make? Higashikurenomiya was surprised when he heard this.
Yoshio Shinozuka frowned slightly when he heard this, and there was a faint uneasiness in his heart.
"Hello!" Di Bugui paused again and said, "Zhong Yi should not leave the Wudang Palace Fortress and the Racecourse Fortress on both wings of Hankou to the imperial army, although most of the 20 or so pillboxes in these two fortresses have been destroyed and basically lost their defensive role, but their internal structures and underground fortifications are unscathed!" ”
After a pause, Di Bujiagui continued: "After occupying these two fortresses, the engineer troops only need to repair them slightly, and they can become two complete sortie positions and defensive positions, and in the future, the imperial army can directly attack the city of Hankou from these two fortresses, and if the Chinese army counterattacks, the imperial army will also be able to defend the danger!" ”
"Soga!" Hearing this, Higashikurenomiya Tsuruhiko's eyes lit up, and he said happily, "That's really the case." ”
"Not good!" When Yoshio Shinozuka heard this, his face changed in an instant, and he said urgently, "If you don't catch the king, I will order the troops participating in the attack to immediately evacuate the fortress of Wudang Palace and the fortress of the racecourse!" ”
"Nani?" Hearing this, Di Bugui was immediately stunned.
Higashikuremiya Tsuhiko was also extremely stunned and asked, "Shinozuka-kun, why?" ”
Yoshio Shinozuka took a breath and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, a cunning person like Zhong Yi would leave such a big flaw?" If I'm not mistaken, this must be another trap! ”
As soon as the words fell, a dazzling red light suddenly rose in front of him.
Then there was a slight tremor that came from the ground beneath his feet.
Then there was a rumbling explosion, hearing the sound of the explosion, Higashikurenomiya Tsugahiko, Shinozuka Yoshio and others hurriedly turned back to look in the direction of Hankou City, but they saw that huge mushroom clouds had risen in the direction of Wudang Palace and Racecourse on both sides of Hankou City, and the four infantry squadrons and one chariot squadron that had just entered these two positions had been completely swallowed!
Although it is not clear about the specific losses, just looking at the effect of this explosion, we know that the four infantry squadrons and one tank squadron involved in the attack are definitely more than lucky!
"Yaga Yaru!" Seeing this scene, Higashikurenomiya Tsugahiko was stunned at first, and then immediately scolded.
Yoshio Shinozuka also held his forehead with his hand, and said with great annoyance: "I should have thought of it a long time ago, damn it, I should have thought of it a long time ago!" ”
As for the three division commanders such as Di Bujiagui and Qing Shui Chongxi, they were completely dumbfounded, Zhong Yi was really too cunning, and he would fall for his plan if he was not careful!
……
Hankou city center, East Prison Palace.
At this time, the East Prison Palace had become the brigade headquarters of the 367th Brigade.
At the top of the main hall of the East Prison Palace, there is an observation post.
Feng Yuxiang and Zhong Yi did not return to Wuchang, but stayed in Hankou, and at this moment they were at the observation post on the top of the main hall of the East Prison Palace.
Looking at the huge mushroom cloud that bloomed from the direction of Wudang Palace and the racecourse, Feng Yuxiang finally smiled.
"Good, good!" Feng Yuxiang said with a smile, "These two cannons can kill at least five or six hundred devils!" ”
"I'm afraid it's more than that!" Zhu Liangcheng's voice suddenly came up from below, and when Feng Yuxiang and Zhong Yi looked down, they saw Zhu Liangcheng hurriedly walking up from the spiral staircase.
Going up to the top of the building, Zhu Liangcheng said: "The little devils who attacked Wudang Palace and the Racecourse Fortress this time are all combined, there are more than 1,000 people in four infantry squadrons, and there are more than 20 tanks in a chariot squadron!" And according to the report of the forward observation post, these four infantry squadrons and the tank squadron of the devil have basically entered the two fortress positions! ”
"Oh, really?" Feng Yuxiang was overjoyed when he heard this, "Then we can make money!" ”
Zhong Yi shook his head and said in a deep voice: "This kind of thing is just a one-shot deal, and then next, there is no second Wudang Palace fortress or a second racecourse fortress to blow up for us!" ”
"Then we've earned it too!" Feng Yuxiang said with a smile, "It's good for a guy to kill four squadrons of devils plus a tank squadron after all!" It's a victory! ”
Zhong Yi nodded, and said, "But next, it's the real battle!" ”
"Hmm!" Feng Yuxiang said, "But as Ziren said, one word, do it!" ”
……
Almost at the same time, on the Fenghe Mountain.
Dongjiu Gong Twist Yan gritted his teeth and said: "Zhong Yi, this guy is really cunning, he actually used the Wudang Palace Fortress and the Racecourse Fortress as traps!" Inflicted such a big loss on the Imperial Army! ”
After a pause, Higashikure Palace said again: "However, such a good thing, there can't be a second time, the next thing is the real battle, I want to see, what else can Zhong Yi do to stop the imperial army?" ”
Speaking of this, Higashikure Palace Twisthiko turned his gaze to Yoshio Shinozuka again, and said in a deep voice: "Shinozuka-kun, next, it's up to you Tenth Division!" ”
"Hello!"
