At the same time, in the front hall, apse and square in front of the five prisons palace, Tianfu Palace, Siguan Palace, Caishen Temple, Shuifu Temple and other places of worship, there were already swarthy heavy machine guns!

When Stilwell followed Zhu Liangcheng out of the main hall of the Five Prisons Palace, he saw that dozens of Min-24 heavy machine guns had been erected in the square in front of the hall, and even a few Dshk large-caliber anti-aircraft machine guns, and whether it was a Min-24 heavy machine gun or a Dshk large-caliber anti-aircraft machine gun, all the muzzles were pointed diagonally to the sky without exception.

Looking at the heavy machine guns standing under the night sky, Stilwell said awe-inspiringly: "Beyond the shooting method again?" ”

"Yes!" Zhu Liangcheng nodded and said, "This time, not only the heavy machine guns of the three brigades in Hankou, but even the heavy machine guns of the other seven brigades in Hanyang and Wuchang have been transferred, a total of no less than five hundred heavy machine guns, and the shooting Zhuyuan has been determined. ”

Stilwell imagined that as tens of thousands of Japanese troops tried to pass through the wilderness on the outskirts of Hankow, a dense barrage of bullets fired by more than 500 heavy machine guns suddenly fell overwhelmingly!

Thinking of this, Stilwell didn't dare to think about it anymore, it was terrible!

At that moment, Stilwell said in a low voice: "Zhong Yi, what a terrible opponent!" ”

Zhu Liangcheng nodded and said, "However, I'm worried that the Japanese army won't reinforce it!" Ziren didn't think that the Japanese army would reinforce either, and the reason why he put out heavy machine guns was just in case. ”

"The Japanese army will not reinforce?" Stilwell said, "Why? ”

"Because the Japanese army has already suffered a loss before!" Zhu Liangcheng said quietly.

Stilwell was silent when he heard this, but his eyes couldn't help but look in the northwest direction.

To the northwest, where the headquarters of the Japanese Second Army is located, Stilwell wondered how Tsuruhiko Higashikuremiya, as the commander of the Second Army, would react?

At this moment, Zhong Yi's figure suddenly rushed out of the main hall!

"Ziren?" Zhu Liangcheng looked back at Zhong Yi with some astonishment.

"Bell?" Stilwell was also a little confused, didn't you go to sleep?

"Lao Zhu, hurry!" Zhong Yi shouted as soon as he left the main hall, "Hurry up and let the brothers move all the heavy machine guns back to the underground bunker, quick!" Fast! ”

……

Almost simultaneously, at the headquarters of the Second Army of the Japanese Army.

Higashikurenomiya turned his head back, his eyes revealing two faint cold lights, and said, "Shinozuka-kun, are we just watching the three infantry wings that burst into the city be eaten by the Shina army?" ”

"Your Highness means ......," Yoshio Shinozuka said and suddenly paused, and then gasped.

Yoshio Shinozuka suddenly understood what Higashikurenomiya wanted to do, but it was crazy to do so!

Higashikurenomiya's gaze became more and more gloomy, and he continued: "Anyway, the three infantry wings that broke into the city can't be withdrawn, rather than letting them die in vain, then it's better to let them do their loyalty to the Japanese Empire and His Majesty the Emperor before the collective jade shatters!" ”

Yoshio Shinozuka twitched his throat and wanted to speak, but he couldn't make a sound.

Sacrificing three infantry wings at once, this kind of jade burning style of fighting has exceeded his imagination!

A hint of fanaticism also appeared in the eyes of Higashikurenomiya Tsuhiko, and he said to Adjutant Igarashi Mei: "Order, the 5th Brigade of Field Heavy Artillery, the 6th Brigade of Field Heavy Artillery, the 10th Wing of Field Heavy Artillery, the 10th Wing of Field Artillery, the 13th Wing of Field Artillery, the 16th Wing of Field Artillery, the 116th Wing of Mountain Artillery, and the 3rd Wing of Independent Mountain Artillery, immediately cover the entire urban area of Hankou with carpet artillery!" ”

"Hello!" Igarashi Meton was the first to say.

……

Five Prisons Palace, Front Hall Square.

The officers and men of the 367th Brigade had already lifted most of the heavy machine guns into the underground bunkers, and there were less than ten Min-24 heavy machine guns left standing alone in the huge square.

Zhu Liangcheng faithfully carried out Zhong Yi's order, but he was still a little worried.

At that moment, Zhu Liangcheng said to Zhong Yi: "Ziren, I know what you're worried about, but if the devil doesn't go crazy to this extent and sends troops to reinforce him, then our counterattack will be in vain!" ”

"How can it be that all the work has been lost?" Zhong Yi said, "It's just to let some of the devil soldiers who broke into the city escape, but at least, the positions that were lost during the day yesterday have been recaptured!" ”

After a pause, Zhong Yi said again: "But if the old devil of the East Jiu Er Palace is really mad to a certain extent, and really takes the devils in the city and adopts the method of burning jade, our more than 500 heavy machine guns will be finished!" ”

Heavy machine guns are no better than light machine guns, light machine guns are lighter, and one person can walk with them, but heavy machine guns weigh dozens of kilograms, and they must be carried by several people to walk, so once the devils start carpet shelling, the heavy machine guns placed on the surface positions can hardly be spared!

Zhong Yi said again: "The lesser of two evils, I don't dare to risk these more than 500 heavy machine guns!" Before, it was because I didn't think it through! But in the future, we can't take that risk again! ”

Zhu Liangcheng said: "But I always feel that it is not ......"

Before the words fell, Zhu Liangcheng suddenly found that the originally dark night sky suddenly lit up.

When I looked up, I saw that countless dazzling streamers had been pulled out of the dark night sky!

Looking at this dazzling streamer, Zhong Yi, Zhu Liangcheng and Stilwell's faces changed suddenly!

"Oh Yet!" Stilwell hugged his head and said, "Zhong, you expected it again, the Japanese army really shelled!" ”

"Look at the streamer of this cannonball, the devil has concentrated at least three hundred cannons! It seems that the old devil of the East Kuregu Palace, Tsuruhiko, really wants to adopt the method of burning jade! Zhu Liangcheng exclaimed, "He's really crazy!" ”

"Quick!" Zhong Yi shouted at the officers and soldiers who returned to the square after moving the heavy machine guns, "Quick, move the remaining heavy machine guns to the underground bunkers, quick!" ”

The dozens of officers and soldiers who had just returned to the square also spotted the streamers passing through the night sky.

In an instant, these dozens of officers and soldiers rushed up, raised the last few remaining heavy machine guns, and quickly rushed to the entrance of the tunnel!

"Ziren, and Colonel Stilwell, let's hurry up and enter the tunnel!" Zhu Liangcheng shouted.

Of course, Zhong Yi would not be reckless at such a time, and when he turned around and rushed to the entrance of the tunnel, Stilwell shouted a crooked Temi and hurried to follow.

Almost as soon as the three of them entered the tunnel, rows of shells rained down.

The next moment, several huge clouds of dazzling red light immediately rose from the square of the front hall of the Five Prisons Palace, and the air wave generated by the explosion instantly lifted a large amount of mud and sand, covering the entrance of the tunnel!

Stilwell fell at the back of the three, and his back and ass were instantly hit by the hot mud and sand, and he immediately screamed like a pig, oh Leak, Fake!
