Zhong Yi said in a deep voice: "The devil built a strong fortress on the outskirts of Hankou, which is nothing, because no matter how strong the fortress is, it can only be used for defense, not for attack!" ”

After a pause, Zhong Yi said again: "What I'm more worried about is that the devil has become more cautious!" ”

"yes!" Sun Liren nodded, and said thoughtfully, "The devils arrived at the outskirts of Hankou yesterday afternoon, and according to their usual behavior before, they attacked directly!" ”

After a pause, Sun Liren said again: "But this time, they didn't do it!" They spent an afternoon and an evening building a military camp on the northern outskirts of Hankow! ”

"This is what the art of war says, don't think about victory, think about defeat first!" Zhong Yi said in a deep voice, "It can be seen that the division commander of the 10th Division, Yoshio Shinozuka, is a very cautious person!" ”

Sun Lidao: "This kind of person is the most difficult to deal with!" ”

"yes!" Zhong Yi said, "The real test is coming!" ”

Sun Liren was awe-inspiring when he heard this, the war is finally about to begin!

……

Almost at the same time, Yoshio Shinozuka also climbed a hill in the northern suburbs of Hankou with the embankment, and was standing on the top of the mountain holding a telescope, looking at Turtle Mountain from afar.

"The embankment is not clamped, the west is Turtle Mountain, right?" Yoshio Shinozuka asked.

"Hello!" Di Bu Jia Gui suddenly paused, and said, "The one that has been poured with concrete in the middle of the mountain is the Turtle Mountain Fortress mentioned by Tegaoke!" There is also a Snake Mountain Fortress on the south bank of the Yangtze River! ”

After a pause, he said: "Together with the railway station fortress in Hankou, it just forms a zigzag!" ”

"I see it!" Yoshio Shinozuka said awe-inspiringly, "On the fort wall near the river, there are shooting holes all over the place, and the ones deployed in these shooting holes must be the fortress guns and large-caliber howitzers of the Zhina Army!" ”

"Hello!" He paused and said, "The reason why the Tottori Wing was able to annihilate the Shina Army in less than forty minutes is mainly because there were heavy artillery groups from the Kameyama Fortress and the Snake Mountain Fortress that fired at them!" ”

After a pause, Tsutsuki continued: "Then, the Shina infantry secretly detoured back to the area around the Tottori Wing's camp through the tunnels reserved in advance, which finally led to the Tottori United's collective jade shattering!" ”

After another pause, he said: "In other words, this is a carefully constructed trap!" ”

Yoshio Shinozuka shook his head and said, "No, the main thing is that Nishioh-kun is too light on the enemy!" If he didn't underestimate the enemy, he could easily find out that this was a trap, and it would be impossible for the Tottori Wing to shatter the jade collectively! ”

"Hello!" The embankment is not pinched and the head is heavy, "The collective jade of the Tottori United, Nishi-Ojo-kun does have an unshirkable responsibility!" ”

"No, no, you misunderstood!" Yoshio Shinozuka waved his hand and said, "I don't say this to shirk responsibility, let alone to put all the responsibility on Nishiojo-kun's head, I just want to tell you that we must learn the lessons of the Tottori United, and we must not repeat the mistakes of the past!" ”

"Hello!" Di Ping Jiagui nodded awe-inspiring and said, "Remember the humble duty!" ”

"Yo Xi!" Yoshio Shinozuka nodded happily and said, "Then now, let's discuss how to launch an attack on Hankou, right?" ”

"Hello!" Di Bujia nodded suddenly, and said: "Division commander, to be honest, this battle is not easy to fight." ”

"yes." Yoshio Shinozuka bowed his head lightly, and said, "I think you have already seen that the heavy artillery groups of the Turtle Mountain Fortress and the Snake Mountain Fortress can form an effective protection for Hankou!" Therefore, before destroying the artillery group of the Turtle Mountain Fortress and the Snake Mountain Fortress, the Imperial Army must face the artillery fire of the Chinese Army, so that the casualties will be very large! ”

"Hello!" Di Bujiagui paused again, and said, "Therefore, it is recommended to attack at night!" ”

"A night attack?" Yoshio Shinozuka's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said happily, "This is a good idea." ”

After a pause, Yoshio Shinozuka said again: "Since the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, the imperial army rarely attacks at night, and the Chinese army must have formed a mindset that the imperial army will constantly launch attacks at night, so that they may be able to be caught off guard and break into Hankou in one fell swoop!" ”

Di Bujiagui said happily: "Division Commander Mingjian! ”

"Di Bu Jiajun, this suggestion of yours is very good! If you can break through to Hankou smoothly tonight, you will take the first credit! Yoshio Shinozuka nodded happily again, and said, "However, before it gets dark, we still have to launch several large-scale attacks to paralyze the Shina army as much as possible and create opportunities for a surprise attack at night!" ”

"Hello!" Di Bu Gui Dun said, "The division commander is wise!" ”

Yoshio Shinozuka waved his hand and said, "Then let's start." ”

"Hello!" Di Bujia nodded again, turned around and said to the communications staff officer behind him, "Order, the 10th Infantry Wing can start attacking Hankow!" ”

"Hello!"

……

Hankow, railway station fortress.

Today, it is the 367th Battalion of the 2nd Regiment of the 4th Brigade that is on duty to guard the fortress of the Hankou Railway Station!

And the people responsible for guarding the No. 1 main bunker are more than 60 officers and soldiers from the 4th battalion, 1st company, and 1st platoon!

He Yunpeng went up from the first floor of the No. 1 main pillbox to the second floor, and patted the officers and soldiers of the 1st platoon guarding behind the shooting hole as he walked: "Cheer me up, the little devil is about to attack!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the squeaky sound of cannonballs could be heard outside the bunker.

He Yunpeng hurriedly looked back, and through the shooting hole of the outer figure, he could clearly see that the streamers were roaring from the northwest sky!

The devils have started shelling!

"Lie down, lie down!" He Yunpeng rolled over and fell to the ground, while supporting his chest with his fists, and yelled at the officers and soldiers around him, "Support your chest with your fists, support your chest with your fists!" ”

The officers and soldiers guarding the second floor of the pillbox fell down one after another, supporting their chests with their palms.

In the next moment, rows of shells fell on the railway station fortress one after another, and they exploded violently!

"Boom, boom, boom!" A huge sound wave poured in from the shooting hole in an instant, which shook the ears of He Yunpeng and the officers and soldiers of the 4th Battalion, and then, the violent vibration was also transmitted from the ground under him, and the strong pillbox was shaken like a small boat in a storm, and it seemed that it could capsize at any time!

Just listening to this movement, He Yunpeng had already judged that it was at least a 150mm caliber heavy howitzer!

He Yunpeng only felt that his fists were numb, if he didn't use his fists to support his chest, but let this shock wave be directly transmitted to his body, He Yunpeng suspected that even if he was not shocked to death on the spot, he would definitely be seriously injured!

Looking out through the shooting hole, the outside has long been obscured by the thick smoke of gunpowder!
