Yoshio Shinozuka smiled and said, "Do you really understand?" ”

"Hello!" Di Bujia said at the beginning, "The commander of the division means that under the continuous strong attack of our army, the defenders of China will inevitably make mistakes in their busy schedules because of the long-term and high-intensity continuous combat, which may give our army an opportunity to break through a node in its defensive chain!" ”

After a pause, he said: "And as long as one of the nodes is broken, the entire defense system will collapse in an instant, and the imperial army can easily occupy Hankou!" ”

Yoshio Shinozuka waved his hand and said, "What you said is very reasonable, but it is dangerous to pin your hopes on the assumption that the enemy will make mistakes!" As I said earlier, opportunities are never given by the enemy, but created by ourselves! When I say that the opportunity will come, I don't mean that! ”

Di Bujia Gui said: "What does the division commander mean?" ”

Yoshio Shinozuka smiled and said, "Dig the tunnel!" ”

"Digging tunnels?" "What does the division commander mean by digging eight tunnels again, leading directly to the city of Hankou, and then launching an attack directly on the city from the tunnels?" ”

"No, digging a tunnel is much more than digging a tunnel! So, it is impossible to dig eight strips, we don't have so much time and we don't have so many sappers! Yoshio Shinozuka waved his hand and said, "One tunnel is enough, enough for us to blow up all the bunkers at Hankou Railway Station!" ”

"Sapper blast?!" The embankment is not expensive, and the eyes are bright.

"Yes, sapper blast!" Yoshio Shinozuka smiled and said, "However, digging tunnels will also make movements, and if the Zhina army is vigilant enough, it is still possible to find out in advance, so I just told you that under the continuous onslaught of our army, the opportunity will come!" Because only the movement created by the onslaught can cover the work of the sappers underground! The Chinese army will not perceive the danger approaching! ”

"Sodesnay!" Di Bujiagui suddenly realized, and then said, "Division commander, the humble duty really understands now, and the humble duty will arrange it, and order the 39th Infantry Wing and the 40th Infantry Wing to attack day and night, so as not to let the battlefield have a moment of tranquility and ensure that the operation of the Engineer Wing is not discovered by the Zhina Army!" ”

Yoshio Shinozuka nodded happily: "Yo Xi!" ”

The embankment was not overwhelmed and turned away.

……

Excavating tunnels is no more extensive than excavating surface tunnels, and the progress is much slower!

So in the next few days, the 10th Division, with infantry squads as units, launched an uninterrupted attack on the railway station and the fortresses on both flanks 24 hours a day.

The intention of the Japanese army is very clear, that is, to create movement and cover the underground operation of the engineer wing!

……

On July 7, the 27th year of the Republic of China (1938), that is, the first anniversary of the full-scale outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, the second division of the Japanese army on the North Road finally arrived!

The second Japanese division to arrive in Wuhan was the 3rd Division!

The Third Division is also one of the seventeen permanent divisions, the so-called Bangma Division, with a full complement of more than 25,000 people, but the Third Division is not like the Tenth Division, with two additional artillery wings and an independent tank wing, so when it reached Wuhan, there were only about 22,000 people left!

The 3rd Division could have arrived in Wuhan a few days earlier, but it was only halfway through that the 10th Division's attack on Hankou had been frustrated, and it was also because of the existence of artillery groups from the fortresses of Guishan and Snake Mountain, so Teng Tian Jin, the commander of the 3rd Division, temporarily decided to cross the Han River from Hanchuan County and go straight to Hanyang from the west bank of the Han River!

Fujita Jin's intention is very clear, that is, he wants to destroy the Guishan Fortress, create an opportunity for the 10th Division to seize Hankou, and then combine the strength of the two divisions to cross the Yangtze River south and jointly attack the core of Wuhan, Wuchang!

Taking Wuchang means that the Japanese army has won the Battle of Wuhan!

At about 12 noon on July 7, a squad of the 3rd Cavalry Wing, the vanguard of the 3rd Division, appeared near Wonmyokan in the northwest of Hanyang City.

Leading this cavalry squad was a cavalry lieutenant.

This cavalry Nakasa is the wing commander of the 3rd Cavalry Wing, Hoshi Zentaro!

Hoshi Zentaro looked very unhappy, because after passing through Hanchuan County, not to mention meeting Chinese soldiers along the way, he didn't even see a Chinese civilian, so he couldn't find a target if he wanted to kill someone!

By the way, this Hoshizentaro is a killer demon king who is even crazier than Tanaka Junyoshi!

Starting from Xuzhou, more than 800 Chinese soldiers and civilians died under the knife of Hoshi Zentaro, because there were so many killings that even the saber was cut four or five!

Hoshi Zentaro was secretly sulking when a cavalryman suddenly shouted: "Captain, look, Hanyang City!" ”

"Huh?!" Hoshi Zentaro looked up anxiously, and sure enough, he saw a big city on the horizon in front of him, looking at the continuous city walls and towering towers, it must be Hanyang City!

"Yo Xi!" Hoshizentaro nodded happily and said, "Spread out, search me carefully to see if there is an ambush in the woods ahead!" ”

"Hello!" More than a dozen devil cavalry scattered and split into the woods in front.

……

The devil cavalry who launched the search did not realize that more than a dozen special forces of the 3rd Special Operations Squadron were quietly ambushed in the woods in front of them.

The 3rd Special Operations Squadron was specially loaned to Sun Liren by the 367th Brigade.

Sun Liren did not hide the 3rd Special Warfare Squadron in the fortress, but let them spread out and act as the eyes and nose of the anti-smuggling corps and even the entire Hanyang defense area!

Today, the 3rd Special Operations Squadron really played the role of eyes and nose.

"Captain, look!" Team member Shui Sheng whispered, "Devil cavalry! ”

"Well, I see!" Fang Jianwei nodded slightly, and signaled silence.

Soon, more than a dozen devil cavalry slowly entered the woods with the sound of horses' hooves.

The hooves of one of the cavalrymen almost stepped on the aquatic head, but because the aquatic camouflage was too good, the devil cavalry and even the war horse did not notice the existence of the aquatic at all!

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen devil cavalry had already entered the ambush circle!

Without a trace of hesitation, Fang Jianwei aimed at the leading devil adjutant and gently pulled the trigger.

But at the moment when Fang Jianwei pulled the trigger, another devil cavalry suddenly broke into his field of vision, blocking the firing range of Fang Jianwei's rifle, only to hear a gunshot from the horn, the devil cavalry who broke in by himself was immediately shot in the chest, and fell from the horseback with a muffled snort!

Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen team members such as Shui Sheng also pulled the trigger one after another!

Most of the more than ten devil cavalry who entered the woods fell in an instant, and only two horsemen were still on horseback, including the captain of the 3rd Cavalry Wing, Hoshi Zentaro!
