In Nanjing, the headquarters of the Central China Front of the Japanese Army.

Okamura Ninji slapped a sunspot on the chessboard, and then said to Shunroku Hata with a clear hand: "Your Excellency, General, it's your turn." ”

After staring at the chessboard for a while, Shunroku Hata also picked up a white piece and patted it lightly on the chessboard, saying, "Okamura-kun, do you know that there is a situation in Wuhan again!" ”

Okamura Ninji sighed softly and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Hata Junroku said: "Wuhan's Zhina Army has made a hero list, you know this, right?" ”

"I know that." Okamura Ninji said, "Sometimes, I occasionally listen to the radio of the Shina people, so I am no stranger to this hero list. ”

As the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing the other side can survive a hundred battles, so Okamura Ninji often listens to Chinese radio.

After a pause, Okamura Ninji followed up and said, "Your Excellency, I even know that the number one on the hero list is a soldier named Erbao!" ”

"Soga!" Shunroku Hata bowed his head lightly, and said, "In order to defeat the morale of the defenders of Wuhan, His Highness used the snipers of the Yamamoto Brigade to hunt down this second treasure, and guess what?" ”

Okamura Ninji groaned: "Yamamoto Shigeo's special operations brigade is a strategic-level armed force, and its members are all elites in a thousand, especially Hojoji, who was already the imperial gun king before joining the Yamamoto brigade, with such a special force to shoot, the result will definitely be captured!" ”

"Hand to hand? Not really! Shunroku Hata shook his head and said, "Shigeo Yamamoto really sent the Imperial Spear King Hojoji to take two other snipers to attack, but as a result, instead of being able to kill the two snipers on the other side, the special forces of Shina killed the two snipers sent!" ”

"How so?" Okamura Ninji was stunned.

"And that's not all!" Hata Junroku snorted lightly, and said, "Zhong Yi, this guy will be revenged, here in the Dongjiuer Palace, he just calculated him, and before he even succeeded, he hit back with a backhand, and the snipers who also dispatched special forces shot the top of the hunting list on the Hanyang battlefield, Nakamura Jun!" ”

"Nani?" Okamura Ningji's expression suddenly turned grim when he heard this, and he said in a deep voice, "Zhong Yi's counterattack is really sharp!" ”

"Who's to say it isn't." Shunroku Hata said helplessly, "Not only that, Fujita Susu, a traitor, even seized this matter to make a big fuss, and publicized it in front of the two armies through loudspeakers, and also called on the officers and soldiers of the second army to surrender, which is said to have caused a very bad impact in the army, and the morale of the second army began to turmoil!" ”

"Zhong Yi, this guy!" Okamura Ninji said awe-inspiringly, "Every time he makes a move, it's hard to resist!" ”

After a slight pause, Okamura Ninji said again: "Your Excellency, General, in this way, the situation of the Second Army in Wuhan is actually very delicate, and you should decisively order the withdrawal of troops!" ”

"Withdrawing troops?" Shunroku Hata smiled wryly and continued, "Do you think His Highness will listen?" ”

Okamura Ninji was silent, and he didn't know when the Japanese army gradually formed the tradition of the following grams, and the division commanders and even the wing commanders on the front line often disobeyed orders and attacked without authorization!

Thankfully, the Japanese disobedience was limited to the offensive!

In other words, disobedience only occurs when attacking.

At that moment, Okamura Ninji said again: "Your Excellency, General, you should try to convince Your Highness!" ”

"I tried, but it didn't work." Shunroku Hata sighed lightly, and then said, "Okamura-kun, I won't hide it from you, but instead of planning to withdraw his troops, His Royal Highness sent a telegram to the headquarters of the Front Army, requesting that the Air Corps directly under the Front Army cooperate with the Second Army to carry out a comprehensive bombardment of Hankou and Hanyang in the next three days!" ”

"Nani?" Okamura Ninji said awe-inspiringly, "Your Highness, is this going to be desperate?" ”

"I'm afraid so!" Shunroku Hata nodded with a wry smile, and then said, "What do you say?" ”

"Since His Highness has made up his mind, he can only fully cooperate!" Okamura Ninji said, while picking up a sunspot and slamming it on the chessboard, and said, "Fortunately, according to the information provided by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, there are less than 20,000 defenders left in Wuhan, and Zhong Yi can only admit it in the face of absolute strength!" ”

Shunroku Hata said, "Okamura-kun, do you mean to let the aviation regiment fully cooperate?" ”

"Hello!" Okamura Ninji paused heavily and said in a deep voice, "We must let the aviation regiment fully cooperate and drop all the heavy aerial bombs and chemical bombs in the front army's reserves to Hankou and the Hanyang battlefield!" ”

"Okay." Shunroku Hata nodded happily and said, "Then let the aviation forces fully cooperate!" ”

……

At the same time, at the command in Hankow.

Zhong Yi is convening a meeting with Zhu Liangcheng, Liu Yuanlin and Shi Zude.

"Lao Zhu, Yuan Lin, and Zu De!" Zhong Yi's cold gaze swept over the faces of Zhu Liangcheng and the others, and he said in a deep voice, "Today, the intentions of the East Kyuri Palace have been thwarted by us again!" If nothing else, tomorrow, the old devil should fight with us, and he should launch the final general attack on Hankou and Hanyang! ”

Zhu Liangcheng and the three of them nodded heavily.

Zhong Yi continued: "If nothing else, this will be the last general attack of the devils, as long as we can withstand the general attack of the devils, the second army of the East Kuremiya Tsuruhiko will be considered useless!" ”

Zhu Liangcheng said in a deep voice: "Ziren, don't worry, we have survived for two months, and we are afraid that the devil will attack once!" ”

"That's right!" Liu Yuanlin also said, "Anyway, there are still more than 40,000 people in our Wuhan garrison, and these more than 40,000 people are all elites who have experienced a hundred battles!" The old devil of Higashikurenomiya Tsuruhiko is counting on being able to eat more than 40,000 of our elites through a single general attack, which is simply wishful thinking! ”

Shi Zude also said: "If the devil dares to come, let them come!" Make sure they come in straight and go out sideways! ”

"Don't be careless!" Zhong Yi said, "Since this is the devil's last general attack, its strength will definitely be unprecedented, and it will last longer than the previous general attacks!" It can last for a few days, so be prepared for the worst! ”

"What's the worst?" Liu Yuanlin said, "Ziren, what do you mean by this?" ”

Zhong Yi said in a deep voice: "I mean, even if all the surface positions are lost and the remnants retreat to the tunnel, we must insist on fighting!" Until the little devils withdraw their troops, the arrival of the big counteroffensive! ”

Shi Zude said awe-inspiringly: "Ziren, it shouldn't be, right?" ”

Zhong Yi waved his hand and said, "It's always right to be mentally prepared in advance!" ”

Zhu Liangcheng and the three of them glanced at each other, nodded heavily and said, "Understood!" ”
