After saying this, Zhong Yi drew a chasm on the periphery of Xiaogan, blocking dozens of small red flags representing the national army, as well as tank molds representing Du Yuming's 200th division and artillery molds representing artillery regiments!

Pan Zihe said: "Ziren, you are a bit of a trick, the Japanese army left behind in Xiaogan may not be able to repair fortifications!" ”

"That only shows that you don't know enough about the little devil!" Zhong Yi said, "In fact, the 1st Special Operations Squadron of the 367 Brigade has already conducted a survey of Xiaogan, and it was found that the Japanese infantry brigade stationed in Xiaogan not only relied on the Fucheng River, as well as the Black Dragon Pond and White Dragon Pond in the southeast suburbs to build a ring fortification, but also the fortification specifications are not low!" ”

Sun Lidao: "Repair it, just fix it, it's nothing more than a delay of a day or two, and you can't make a mistake!" ”

"Brother Fumin, are you so confident?" Zhong Yi said, "Okay, then let's start." ”

"I'll come first, after all, I'm the attacker!" Sun Liren rubbed his hands and said, "I will first use the artillery regiment to carry out concentrated fire on the airfield in the northern suburbs of Xiaogan, even if I can't destroy all the planes parked at Xiaogan Airport, at least half of them can be destroyed, and the runway of the airport must be seriously damaged, don't think of landing planes within three days!" ”

After finishing speaking, Sun Liren took away the model airplane on the sand table.

"Not necessarily!" Zhong Yi said, "I will send reconnaissance planes to reconnoiter the highway and railway in advance, and once I find artillery maneuvering along the highway or railway, I will immediately dispatch bombers from the airport to intercept it!" In addition, I will order the sappers to blow up all the railway and highway bridges from Hankou to Xiaogan. ”

Sun Lidao: "Devils may not be able to think of this. ”

"It's a pity, the devil has already thought of it." Zhong Yi shrugged his shoulders and said, "The 2nd Special Warfare Squadron reports that the Japanese sappers have blown up all the railway and highway bridges north of Hankou, not even the wooden bridges on the small river!" ”

After saying this, Zhong Yi continued: "So, although it is only less than fifty kilometers from Hankou to Xiaogan, it will take at least five days for your artillery regiment to arrive!" So within five days, there will be no problems with the safety of my airport and the planes parked at the airport. ”

Sun Liren could only put the model aircraft back in place with a bitter face.

Chen Jingan said: "There is no artillery without artillery, at least we have an armored division!" ”

After saying this, Chen Jingan picked up the tank model and advanced to the south bank of the Fuhu River, and said in a deep voice: "Within one day, our armored division can push the south bank of the Fuhu River!" ”

"No, no, no, Lao Chen, you are too optimistic!" Zhong Yi shook his head and said, "It is true that the short-distance mobility of the armored division will not be restricted by roads and railways, but the dense rivers and lakes will still cause serious lag to it, and it is a pity that Xiaogan is surrounded by dense terrain of rivers and lakes!" ”

After a pause, Zhong Yi said again: "So, it will take at least two days for your armored division to be able to maneuver from Hankou to the south bank of the Fuhu River!" ”

With that, Zhong Yi moved the tank on the sand table back half the distance.

"Two days is two days, it's not a big deal!" Liu Futing said, "In the past two days, we will never let you be idle!" We will organize at least ten divisions and attack simultaneously from ten directions! ”

"Ten divisions? That's a lot. Zhong Yi pursed his lips and said, "It's a pity that whether it is the four divisions of the Ninth Theater or the thirty divisions of the Fifth Theater, they all suffered heavy losses in the previous battle with the Japanese army, not only losing a large number of personnel, but also losing a lot of equipment, so the combat effectiveness of the troops has become even weaker!" ”

After a pause, Zhong Yi said again: "With the current combat effectiveness of the Second Army of Little Japan, there should be no objection to half a division withstanding the attack of three to five divisions of our army, right?" ”

Sun Liren and a few others were silent when they heard this.

Half of the Japanese army withstood the attack of three to five divisions of the Nationalist army, and of course there was no objection.

Although the Japanese Second Army suffered heavy casualties in the Battle of Wuhan, their combat effectiveness still far surpassed that of the Nationalist Army, and Zhong Yi judged that half of the Japanese army's division drew the Nationalist Army's three to five divisions, which was already a very high opinion of the Nationalist Army!

Because in actual combat, the six to ten divisions of the Nationalist Army have never defeated any division of the Japanese army, but they are often defeated by one division of the Japanese army in turn!

The most exaggerated is the Battle of Xinkou, where half of Sakagaki Seishiro's division defeated more than 30 divisions of the national army!

Seeing that no one objected, Zhong Yi continued: "So within two days, don't think about breaking through the outer defense line!" ”

Sun Liren perked up and said, "But in two days, our armored division will be able to arrive, and we can launch a surprise attack from the combined forces of your Japanese army!" ”

Chen Jing'an continued: "With the strong penetration ability of the tank group, there should be no problem in breaking through the outer defense line of your Japanese army overnight!" ”

Liu Futing also said: "That's for sure! After all, your Japanese planes can't take to the air at night! ”

"Yes, it is true that the Japanese planes cannot take to the air at night." Zhong Yi nodded and said, "Therefore, it is inevitable that the outer defense line will be breached, but ......"

Speaking of this, he deliberately paused, and Zhong Yi said: "But with these precious two days, the remaining two divisions of the Japanese army have built a large number of fortifications in Xiaogan County, and built a large number of side-firing fire points, to put it simply, the Second Army is ready for street fighting!" ”

When Sun Liren and the others heard this, their expressions suddenly froze.

After experiencing the brutal Battle of Wuhan, Sun Liren and others have a new understanding of the cruelty of street fighting, and they know very well how difficult and cruel street fighting is!

If the Second Army of the Japanese Army is really fully prepared, then it may not be able to take it in seven days, even in seventy days, and it is useless to increase the number of troops, because this is not a problem of more soldiers and fewer soldiers at all!

After a long time, Pan Zihe said with a gloomy face: "Doesn't this mean that we have no chance of winning?" ”

"That's not quite true!" Zhong Yi waved his hand and said, "If all the departments participating in the war can work together and are not afraid of sacrifice, if the high-level of the national army does not play tricks and does not engage in subtle tricks that take the opportunity to exclude dissidents, there is still a great chance of victory!" ”

After a slight pause, Zhong Yi said again: "To put it simply, we must do two things well, the first point is that the troops rushing to the Xiaogan battlefield, whether it is the Central Army, the Northwest Army or the Gui Army and the Sichuan Army, must launch an attack on the Japanese army as soon as possible, and it must be a comprehensive general attack as soon as it comes up, and the devil must not be given the slightest respite!" ”

Sun Liren said awe-inspiringly: "What do you mean is to disrupt the war?" ”
