"Enough!" As soon as Higashikuri waved his hand, the interpreter was immediately silenced, and then bowed and retreated.

Higashikuri picked up the wine cup on the low table, drank it dry, and stared at the radio and said: "There is a huge gap between the national strength of China and Japan, and it is by no means made up by private donations!" ”

After a pause, Higashikure said again: "However, allowing the government of China to buy arms from Western countries is not a good thing for the imperial army after all, not to mention anything else, the time limit for the conquest of China will definitely be delayed and lengthened!" ”

Thinking of this, Higashikure immediately raised his head and shouted, "Igarashi-kun! ”

The wooden door was pushed open, and a second lieutenant stepped inside, and immediately said, "Your Highness! ”

Higashikuru grabbed the flask on the low table, poured wine into the cup, and said: "Find Machijiri-kun and ask him to call the base camp immediately and form a new army to capture Guangzhou as soon as possible!" ”

"Hello!" The second lieutenant paused heavily, turned and walked away.

Seeing the figure of the second lieutenant go out, Higashikure retracted his gaze again.

Then, Higashikuri stood up, staggered to the wall, then looked up at the map nailed to the wall, and muttered, "Judging from the time, the 10th Division should almost enter Hankow, right?" The battle of Wuhan has officially begun, Zhong Yi, Zhong Yi, don't let me down. ”

……

In the northern suburbs of Hankou, the Tottori Wing is stationed.

Nishidaijo Fat personally poured a glass of wine for Ichiro Komiyayama, and said with a solemn hand: "Komiyayama-kun, this journey has been hard, drink a glass of wine to relieve your fatigue, right?" ”

"Hello!" Ichiro Komiya took a glass of wine and drank it all.

"And you, Takeuchi-kun!" Nishiojo Fat also poured Yuji Takeuchi on it, saying, "It's hard work! ”

Yuji Takeuchi hesitated and said, "Captain, you're going to attack the city tomorrow, so you won't drink the wine, right?" ”

"It's okay, just have a few drinks, you can't get wrong!" Nishidaijo waved his hand and said, "Come on, dry it quickly!" ”

Yuji Takeuchi didn't want to stiffen with Nishiojo, so he frowned, so he had to pick up his wine glass and drink it all.

Seeing this, Nishiojo Fat laughed, patted Yuji Takeuchi on the shoulder again, and said, "Takeuchi-kun, believe me, we will be able to easily capture Hankou tomorrow morning, and by noon, we will be able to run horses at Hankou Racecourse!" ”

"Captain!" Yuji Takeuchi put down his glass, hesitated and said, "There is a sentence that you may feel unhappy to say it, but I still want to say it!" ”

Nishida didn't say anything, just poured wine.

Yuji Takeuchi continued: "I think you're a little too optimistic! ”

"Optimistic?" Nishidaijo frowned and said, "Is there one?" How do I not think? ”

Yuji Takeuchi said: "All the way from Xuzhou, although the Zhina army along the way has not defended the city much, this does not mean that the Zhina army will not defend Wuhan!" Wuhan, after all, is the geographical heart of China! ”

After a pause, Yuji Takeuchi said again: "What's more, according to the information provided by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the commander of the Wuhan garrison of the Chinese army is still Zhong Yi, this person is not simple!" ”

When Nishidaijo heard this, his right hand, which was pouring wine, paused slightly.

Yuji Takeuchi said again: "Zhong Yi is good at using tricks, in my opinion, the camp we are stationed in is very suspicious!" ”

"Takeuchi-kun, what do you mean by that?" At this time, Komiyayama Ichiro was unhappy, because the current camp was chosen by him, and he asked at the moment, "Where is the camp suspicious?" ”

Yuji Takeuchi said: "Komiyayama-kun, you are also a graduate of the Army University, you should be able to see that the two trenches in front and behind the camp are simply out of order, why did the Chinese army build these two trenches?" ”

"Because they're stupid!" Komiyayama Ichiro said disdainfully, "The people of Shina are stupid!" ”

"Is Zhong Yi stupid too?" Yuji Takeuchi frowned and said, "If Zhong Yi is also stupid, then wouldn't His Royal Highness Hatohiko, General Yanagawa and General Tani Shoufu who died under him even more stupid?" ”

"Uh, this ......" Ichiro Komiyayama was speechless when he heard this.

Nishiojo asked rhetorically: "Takeuchi-kun, then why do you say that the Shina Army is building these two trenches?" ”

"I can't think of it." Yuji Takeuchi shook his head and said, "However, there must be a problem in the middle!" ”

"What could be the problem?" Komiya Ichiro said, "The terrain here is flat and the field of vision is wide, so I am not afraid of the night attack of the Shina army!" ”

"Mines!" Yuji Takeuchi suddenly said, "Zhong Yi is good at using mines, will there be mines buried underground?" ”

"Takeuchi-kun, I'm not so stupid!" Komiya Ichiro said, "Long before the arrival of the main force of the wing, our 1st Brigade had already built more than a dozen fortifications in the camp, and the depth dug was at least more than one meter. ”

"This ......" Yuji Takeuchi suddenly couldn't say anything.

Nishiojo patted Yuji Takeuchi on the shoulder and said, "Takeuchi-kun, it's right to be cautious, but if you're cautious to the point of being suspicious, it's too much!" Let's have a drink and get a good night's sleep! ”

After a pause, Nishidaijo said again: "As soon as it dawns tomorrow, we will attack!" ”

……

Time passed quietly, and soon it was 4 o'clock in the morning on July 1, 1938.

Except for a few sentinels, the vast majority of the Tottori Wing's devil soldiers had already fallen asleep.

At the bottom of the trench where the fire could not shine, without warning, the originally smooth concrete floor suddenly sank into a piece, silently revealing a square hole!

Immediately after, a black figure with a submachine gun on his shoulder climbed up.

Then, the shadow of the second shoulder vibrating submachine gun climbed up again.

In a matter of moments, a dozen dark shadows crawled up from the mouth of the cave, and then quickly separated, groping along the trench to both sides.

In the entrance of the cave, more black shadows were rising in a steady stream, and in less than a quarter of an hour, at least three hundred people appeared!

Due to the angle, the devil sentry guarding the trenches and the mobile sentry patrolling back and forth did not notice this group of black shadows suddenly emerging from the ground.

When the shadows climbed up from underground, they did not clear the barbed wire fence inside the trenches.

And it's just, with his back to the trench with his back to the charge, sitting quietly, as if waiting for something.

At a certain moment, dazzling streamers suddenly roared from the direction of Turtle Mountain in the west and the direction of Snake Mountain in the southwest.

The dazzling streamers dragged a brilliant trajectory in the night sky, beautiful!

A patrolling devil sentry accidentally saw this dazzling night scene and was instantly attracted!

"Wow, fireworks! What beautiful fireworks! The devil sentry immediately pointed to the streamer in the night sky and shouted excitedly at his companions, "Look at the fireworks! Lots of fireworks in the sky! ”
