Hiroshi Aso's infantry squadron again participated in tonight's attack!

Of course, before the attack, the entire squadron was again replenished with one hundred and eighty people!

I don't know why, the moment he crossed the gap in the city wall, Aso Hiroshi suddenly felt an inexplicable palpitation, and his feet involuntarily paused.

Seems to be in danger ahead?

When Ito Kashinobu saw it, he immediately said sternly: "Aso-kun, follow me!" ”

"Hello!" Aso Guang was excited, and hurriedly copied the 38 big cover to follow.

When I turned back again, I saw a group of armed imperial soldiers rushing over the abandoned city wall like a tide, entering the city of Hankou, and in less than a moment, the open space inside the city wall was already crowded with imperial soldiers.

Immediately after that, the roar of the motor sounded from behind him, and when I looked back, I saw that a tank had already climbed over the city wall and entered the city, followed by a second tank!

Then, several artillerymen worked together to carry a 37mm battle defense gun and climbed over the city wall and entered the city.

Seeing more and more imperial soldiers entering the open space inside the city wall, the uneasy emotion in Aso's heart became more and more intense!

Aso inexplicably felt that something bad was going to happen!

Then, without warning, a stream of light suddenly bloomed in the night sky overhead!

It is not uncommon for there to be streamers, because the Japanese artillery has been shelling the Turtle Mountain Fortress and the Snake Mountain Fortress, and the streamer dragged out by the cannonballs across the night sky has almost covered the entire night sky!

The problem is, the shell streamer I saw this time is coming this way!

Immediately after, a short, sharp cannonball whistled in the night sky!

The shorter and more screeching the whistling sound of the shell, the closer it will fall!

"Shelling!" Hiroshi Aso, who had already suffered a loss, immediately fell to the ground, and at the same time shouted bitterly, "The Shina army has started shelling, lie down quickly!" ”

Before Aso's voice fell, the first shell had already been accumulated.

"Boom!" With a thunderous explosion, a dazzling red light instantly bloomed.

Aso's eyes were pierced by this strong light, and he subconsciously closed his eyes, and at the same time, his ears were temporarily deaf due to the violent explosion!

Immediately afterwards, the smoke and dust choked into his mouth and nose, and Aso bent over and coughed violently!

After a while, Aso dared to open his eyes again, and what he saw was a hellish scene!

There were huge craters everywhere, still smoking in the curling air, severed limbs everywhere, and even a head rolled from the ground to the feet of Hiroshi Aso.

Aso looked down and saw that the head's mouth was open, and his face was full of horror.

The next moment, the big mouth of the head suddenly closed, and it bit the tip of Hiroshi Aso's shoe with a click!

"Don't, get out of here!" Hiroshi Aso was startled, instinctively let out a scream of horror, and then kicked his legs to shake off the head, but his feet were unstable and he fell backwards into a crater!

After falling into the crater, Aso discovered that Ito had already been hiding inside.

"Squadron Leader!" Aso said hello and instinctively climbed up, but was pulled back by Ito Kashinobi.

"Aso-kun, if you don't want to die, stay here and don't move!" Shinobu Ito pulled Hiroshi Aso back into the crater.

"Hello!" Aso lay honestly at the bottom of the crater, not daring to make any more movements.

The next moment, another shell landed not far from the crater, and after the violent explosion, Aso even saw a severed palm fall from the sky and fall in front of him.

……

Mt. Fenghe, Japanese Army Observation Post.

Looking at the continuous explosion in front of him, Di Bugui's facial muscles began to twitch again.

But this time, he was not the only one who was twitching, and Yoshio Shinozuka's eyes were not as calm as before, and the muscles on his face were twitching slightly.

As a division commander with more than 20,000 people, Yoshio Shinozuka doesn't care about hundreds or thousands of casualties!

But there must be a precondition for this, and that is that there is a price to be paid for casualties! In exchange for returns!

Therefore, in the several attacks during the day yesterday, although he paid a heavy price of more than 500 people killed, Yoshio Shinozuka didn't care, because he thought that the sacrifice of more than 500 people was worth it, and it would definitely be rewarded!

However, the sacrifice now may not be able to return any reward!

"Division Commander! What's going on? Di Bujiagui asked in a panic, "The artillery of the Turtle Mountain Fortress and the Snake Mountain Fortress have obviously been blocked by the gunsmoke, why can they still block the shooting of the attacking imperial army?" ”

"Eight...... Ga...... Tooth...... Rash! Yoshio Shinozuka cursed word by word, and then suddenly realized, "I understand, I understand!" ”

Di Bujia Gui said: "Division commander, what do you understand?" ”

Yoshio Shinozuka said: "Didn't Ito-kun report that the Shina Army demolished the buildings within the city walls and demolished a blank area with a radius of more than two hundred meters? ”

Di Bujia Gui said: "It seems to be!" ”

"Cunning Zhong Yi, this guy is so cunning!" Yoshio Shinozuka gritted his teeth and said, "He must have expected that we would launch a night raid from here, so the artillery groups of the two fortresses were calibrated in advance to shoot Zhuyuan, and the Chinese artillery did not need to determine the landing point at all, they only needed to shoot according to the calibrated Zhuyuan!" ”

After a slight pause, Yoshio Shinozuka said again: "And that open space with a radius of more than two hundred meters is a killing trap that has been marked by Chinese artillery to shoot Zhuyuan!" ”

"Nani?" Di Bugui said in surprise, "Division commander, you mean that this is a trap?" ”

……

"Yes, that's a trap!" Zhong Yi smiled slightly and said to Stilwell, "I had long expected that the little devil would do this, so I waited for him here!" ”

"What, you expected that?" Stilwell was shocked, "Can I listen to your reasoning?" ”

"Reasoning? It's actually quite simple. Zhong Yi said, "First of all, the railway station in the middle and both wings have a strong bunker group as a defensive barrier, unless Yoshio Shinozuka is an idiot, he will never choose these three directions as a breakthrough, so the devil will only attack from the waist ribs!" ”

"So." Stilwell said abruptly, "You cleared more than 200 meters of open space on both sides of the waist in advance, and let the artillery groups of the Turtle Mountain Fortress and the Snake Mountain Fortress calibrate the shooting Zhu Yuan in advance?" ”

"That's right." Zhong Yi smiled slightly, and said, "Our artillery is limited in number, if we carry out carpet artillery blind fire on the northern suburbs of Hankou, I am afraid the effect will not be good, but if it only covers the left and right sides within a radius of 200 meters, hehehe!" I'm pretty sure it's hard to keep the people or tanks in that area intact! ”
