On Mt. Toyo, the Japanese army observation post.

Higashikurenomiya Tsukihiko put down the binoculars and said to Machijiri with a dark face: "Machijiri-kun, I really didn't expect that in yesterday's attack, the losses of the imperial army would be so great!" ”

"Hello!" "During the attack on the 20th, the 13th Division and the 10th Division, which were in charge of the main attack, disabled four infantry wings, with more than 20,000 casualties, and the six tank squadrons and four anti-aircraft artillery squadrons were also destroyed. ”

"The fact that the imperial army suffered such heavy losses shows how strong the attack was!" Higashikurenomiya Tsukihiko nodded, and said, "But what surprised me was that the Chinese army of Hankou and Hanyang actually withstood it!" ”

After a slight pause, Higashikurenomiya said again: "I really don't know, how did they hold on?" ”

Machijiri said: "The general attack of the imperial army on the 20th, although the Chinese army in Hankou and Hanyang withstood it, but the casualties they paid were conservatively estimated to be more than 15,000 people, that is to say, at this time, there should not be many troops available in Hankou and Hanyang City, so the general attack on the 21st, they could not withstand it anyway!" ”

Dongjiu Gong Twist Yan laughed twice and said: "In addition to the lack of troops, there is an even more deadly factor that is eroding the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army!" If nothing else, the battle can definitely end today! ”

"What's more lethal?" Machijiri said blankly, "What is the factor?" ”

"Just now, Shinozuka-kun called me and reported to me one of his accidental discoveries!" Higashikurenomiya said, "The defenders of Hanyang's Shina seem to have problems with their physical strength and energy!" ”

"Suodaga!" Machijiri Liangji's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "If it weren't for Shinozuka-kun mentioning, we would have really ignored this factor, speaking of which, since the Battle of Wuhan started, it has been two full months now, which means that the Shina Army has been fighting for two months in a row!" You can imagine the exhaustion! ”

Dongjiu Gong Tsukihiko snorted lightly and said: "Especially after the time has entered half a month, the Japanese and the two armies have launched brutal street battles in Hankou and Hanyang urban areas, and the consumption of physical strength and energy is even greater!" Our second army has a large number of troops, and it can be rotated, but the Chinese army is insufficient and has no rotation at all! ”

Machijiri went on to say, "So the Shina army consumes more strength and energy than the imperial army!" In an ordinary intensity battle, this defect is not obvious, but once faced with a decisive battle with high intensity and intensity like the current one, the lack of physical strength and energy of the Chinese army will immediately become apparent! ”

"So." Higashikurenomiya said happily, "For the Chinese army, this is a double blow, they not only need to face the embarrassment of insufficient troops, but also have to face the dilemma of exhaustion of the physical strength and energy of the officers and soldiers!" ”

"So." Machijiri continued, "The battle is almost over! ”

……

At this time, on the front line battlefield of Huabu Street.

"Brothers, follow me!" Li Weizhou roared and rushed forward with his bayonet.

Li Weizhou is also a veteran of the teaching corps, participated in the Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Nanjing, fought with devils no less than ten times with bayonets, and was wounded twice!

And now, Li Weizhou is the platoon commander of the 1st Company and 1st Platoon of the Hankou Battalion.

The devils pushed along Huabu Street have approached within ten meters, and at this time, they can't even throw grenades, because it is easy to blow up their own people, and the only thing they can do now is to fight bayonets with devils!

At that moment, Levi took the lead and faced the devil with a bayonet!

The next moment, in the ruins, rubble, and craters behind him, he jumped up one after another Chinese soldiers, holding the water beaded rifles that had also been loaded with bayonets, to meet the devils coming in front.

In the blink of an eye, Li Weizhou collided head-on with a devil second lieutenant.

"Die!" Li Weizhou shouted violently, and the gun was a stab!

The devil lieutenant also shouted, holding his saber and trying to block it!

The back of the devil's saber hit Li Weizhou's bayonet, making a crisp sound of "bang"!

The second lieutenant of the devil thought that this gear would definitely be able to block the bayonets of the Chinese soldiers on the opposite side, however, the ideal was very plump, but the reality was very skinny, and this block could not be blocked!

Li Weizhou is a veteran of a hundred battles who came out of the teaching corps, not only has a strong physique, but also has a plump experience in white-knuckle combat, before the devil second lieutenant came out of the knife, Li Weizhou had already expected his movements, so he deliberately stabbed a little more to the right, and as a result, the devil second lieutenant blocked and just pushed the bayonet on the right to the middle!

"Poof!" The sharp bayonet stabbed the devil lieutenant in the chest with one blow.

"Uhh The devil lieutenant was in pain, and immediately screamed like a pig.

However, the second lieutenant of the devil was also fierce, and when he was dying, he turned his saber and slashed at Li Weizhou's neck.

This change came suddenly, the distance between the two was close, and if they were ordinary people, they would definitely not be able to escape, but Li Weizhou had already fought with the devil many times, and he had suffered such a loss before.

Therefore, Li Weizhou has already guarded against this hand!

Seeing the devil lieutenant holding a saber and slashing over, Li Weizhou did not retreat and counterattacked, and crashed into the devil's second lieutenant's arms!

This collision is also summed up by Li Weizhou after escaping death several times, at this time, it is basically difficult to dodge backwards or dodge, the only way is to go forward and crash into the arms of the devil!

This time, Li Weizhou escaped the killing radius of the devil's second lieutenant saber!

As a result, the saber failed to cut Li Weizhou's neck, but the second lieutenant of the devil slammed his arms into Li Weizhou's neck, making a snapping sound, although it hurt, it was not fatal!

Immediately afterward, Li Weizhou raised his right knee and pressed it heavily on the belly of the devil lieutenant.

This knee, Li Weizhou used all his strength, and his knee instantly made close contact with the devil lieutenant's abdomen, followed by a snap, which was the sound of the devil lieutenant's bladder shattering.

suffered two fatal blows in a row, and the devil lieutenant finally couldn't support it and fell to the ground.

Li Weizhou pulled back the bayonet from the devil lieutenant, and was about to pounce on the other two devil non-commissioned officers, when suddenly he stumbled under his feet and almost fell to the ground!

Just now, Li Weizhou was dizzy for a while!

"What's going on?" Li Weizhou shook his head, but the dizziness did not disappear, but became more intense, and even the entire battlefield began to flip and shake, and at the same time, a strong feeling of disgust also came to his throat.

At that moment, Li Weizhou fell to the ground, wow wow retching, while retching on the ground, Li Weizhou's heart also began to sink, this phenomenon is not unfamiliar to him, in the Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Nanjing, he has encountered such a situation many times, it is the natural reaction of people after being tired to the extreme!
