Yoshio Shinozuka climbed Mt. Toyoshi again, and he stood on Mt. Toyoha for six or seven hours, from 0:00 a.m. on the 5th to more than 6 o'clock in the morning.

At more than 6 o'clock, when Kibu did not climb Mt. Toyoshi again, he found that Yoshio Shinozuka was still standing in the same position, and his standing posture had not even changed!

Yoshio Shinozuka at this time looks like a statue!

At first, Tsuki Bujia Gui thought it was dew, so he didn't pay much attention to it, but when he got closer, he was surprised to find that it was not dew at all, but the hair on Yoshio Shinozuka's sideburns was mostly white!

At that moment, he was surprised and said, "Division Commander, your hair?" ”

Yoshio Shinozuka didn't seem to hear it, but stared at the city of Hankou in front of him with deep eyes.

He took two steps forward, stood in front of Yoshio Shinozuka, and shouted in an accentuated tone: "Division commander! ”

Yoshio Shinozuka's eyes as if they had been petrified turned a little, and his unfocused eyes regathered and fell on Di Bu Gui, and asked, "Di Bu Jia Jun, are you here?" ”

Di Bujiagui said again: "Division commander, what's wrong with your hair?" ”

"Hair?" Yoshio Shinozuka subconsciously took off his military hat and touched the hair on his head.

When Yoshio Shinozuka didn't take off his hat, he only saw that his sideburns had turned white, and now that the hat was taken off, Tsutsumi was even more surprised to find that Yoshio Shinozuka's hair was almost white!

In ancient times, there was a saying that one night was sad and white-headed, and the embankment was never expensive!

But today, the embankment is not expensive, but he believes it, because Yoshio Shinozuka turned white overnight!

It just so happened that Tsutsuki brought a small mirror, and immediately took out the mirror and gave it to Yoshio Shinozuka, who was not surprised to see that his hair had turned white overnight.

Shaking his head, Yoshio Shinozuka laughed at himself: "Looks better with white hair?" ”

"Division Commander!" Di Bujia was the first to persuade, "Don't blame yourself too much, there is a way that victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, we are just a small loss of two battles, and it is not a big deal!" ”

"Two small defeats?" Yoshio Shinozuka muttered, "If you don't catch the king, this is already a big defeat!" ”

Strictly speaking, the last two battles can indeed be regarded as a big defeat for the 10th Division!

The 10th Division is one of the 17 permanent divisions, the so-called Horse Pulling Division, and the total strength of a division reached more than 25,000 at full strength.

Among them, the front-line combat troops are four infantry wings, more than 13,000 people!

Most of the remaining more than 12,000 people are auxiliary soldiers such as cavalry, engineers, baggage soldiers, and artillery!

Of course, it should be noted that cavalry, engineers, baggage soldiers and even artillery are not unable to directly participate in the battle, but their combat effectiveness is definitely slightly inferior to that of pure infantry!

Up to now, the casualties of the 10th Division have exceeded 6,000, of which 4,000 were killed!

In other words, the 10th Division has lost almost half of its infantry, and it is almost disabled!

If this can't be considered a big defeat, does it have to be a big defeat for the entire division and more than 25,000 people?

However, what worries Yoshio Shinozuka is not because of two consecutive defeats, but because he has never been able to find an effective way to open up the situation!

Honestly, losing a battle is nothing.

In the history of the 10th Division, it is not without defeat.

The most recent time was in Taierzhuang, where the Seya Detachment, which was formed based on the 33rd Infantry Brigade, was almost wiped out, but the reputation of the 10th Division was not without impact!

Therefore, it is not terrible to suffer defeat, but what is terrible is that you can't retaliate after losing a battle!

After Taierzhuang suffered a defeat, the Seya detachment captured Xuzhou with a backhand, and also defeated several divisions of the Chinese army, which can be regarded as making up for the merits, but now, the 10th Division has suffered heavy casualties, and Yoshio Shinozuka has not even seen the dawn of victory, and this problem is serious!

So worried, so worried that Yoshio Shinozuka lost most of his hair overnight!

With a sigh, Yoshio Shinozuka said quietly: "If the embankment is not clamped, the battle of Hankou is not easy to fight!" ”

"Hello!" Di Bujia said after a pause, "Zhong Yi, this guy is far more cunning, more ferocious, and more knowledgeable than the legend!" ”

"Soga!" Yoshio Shinozuka said, "Then what do you think the battle of Hankou should be fought next?" ”

"This ......" Di Bujiagui hesitated for a moment, and said stubbornly, "Division commander, this is what you think, when it comes to cunning, I'm afraid that no one in this world can be more cunning than Zhong Yi, so fighting wits with him can only bring humiliation on yourself!" Instead of this, it is better to fight in a dignified manner and use the superior firepower to win head-on! ”

Yoshio Shinozuka frowned slightly when he heard this, and then his eyes lit up!

This is really a word to wake up the dreamer, and he finally understands what the problem is!

Due to the existence of the fortress of Hankou Railway Station and the fortresses on both sides of the city, Yoshio Shinozuka ruled out the option of storming from the very beginning, trying to outwit Hankou! As a result, they continued to fall into the calculations of their opponents!

"Yo Xi!" At that moment, Yoshio Shinozuka nodded happily and said, "You are right!" ”

After a pause, Yoshio Shinozuka continued: "Order, the 10th Infantry Wing and the 63rd Infantry Wing will retreat and reunite, and the 39th Infantry Wing and the 40th Infantry Wing will take over the position!" ”

"Hello!" The embankment is not sandwiched.

……

At this time, the train fortress in Hankow.

Feng Yuxiang also ventured across the river to Hankou, and he came with a mission!

In the large conference room of the fortress, Feng Yuxiang wore medals for Zhong Yi and others one by one!

"Brother Zhong, Brigade Commander Zhu, Brigade Commander Shi, Brigade Commander Liu, and Captain Zhou." After wearing the medal, Feng Yuxiang shook hands with everyone one by one and said with a smile, "Congratulations!" ”

Zhong Yi smiled: "Congratulations to the general seat." ”

Zhu Liangcheng and others also followed to congratulate.

Feng Yuxiang also smiled and said: "Joy, joy." ”

At this moment, Chi Peng hurriedly ran down and shouted, "Tuanza, the devils have started attacking again!" ”

"Oh yes? This little devil is really not afraid to fight! Coming back so quickly? Feng Yuxiang was happy to see the hunt, and immediately discussed with Zhong Yi in an inquiring tone, "Brother, take a look?" ”

Zhong Yi smiled: "If you want to see it, then let's go and see it." ”

The next group of people surrounded Feng Yuxiang and went up to the second floor of the main bunker.

Looking out through the lookout hole, everyone saw a small group of devils, about a dozen, divided into several groups, just like rabbits rushing through the battlefield!

While rushing, make various tactical evasion moves to avoid the fire of the national army!

The first few sub-forts of the national army are full of firepower, and the little devils who have broken through are stacked down one by one!
