At the same time, in the ruins of the Hankou railway station.

The commander of the 13th Japanese Division, Ogisu Tatsu, and the chief of staff, Yoshihara, were standing under the ruins of the bell tower silently watching the remnants of the 65th Infantry Wing and the 104th Infantry Wing withdraw from Hankou City.

Yoshihara said to Ogisu in a low tone: "Division commander, after a day and night of fierce fighting, the 65th Infantry Wing suffered more than 2,500 casualties, and the 104th Infantry Wing suffered more than 2,800 casualties!" ”

The faces of the Ogishu soldiers immediately became gloomy, and the combined casualties of the two wings exceeded five thousand!

In other words, the 65th Infantry Wing and the 104th Infantry Wing have basically lost their combat effectiveness!

After a pause, Yoshihara said again: "The only thing to be thankful for is that since the imperial army controls the battlefield, the proportion of casualties in the two wings is not high!" ”

Ogizhou Libing said: "How many imperial soldiers have been killed in the two wings combined?" ”

Yoshihara replied: "The two wings together have killed more than 1,000 people!" ”

Ogishu Libing breathed a sigh of relief and asked again, "Is the field hospital's medicine stock still enough?" ”

"Enough medicine." Yoshihara said, "The more than 4,000 injured imperial soldiers will soon be able to recover from their injuries and return to the team!" ”

Ogishu Libing nodded, and asked again, "What about the loss of weapons and equipment?" I heard that both the tank units and the artillery units suffered very heavy losses? ”

"Hello!" Yoshihara said at a moment's notice, "The 36 Type 95 light tanks of the two tank squadrons that coordinated with the 65th Infantry Wing and the 104th Infantry Wing were all destroyed, and the twelve 37mm caliber tank defensive guns of the two anti-aircraft artillery squadrons were also destroyed!" ”

"Yaga!" Ogishu Libing said hatefully, "The Chinese army is really difficult!" ”

"Hello!" Yoshihara said after a pause, "But I believe that this is the last struggle of the Chinese army, after a day and night of fierce attacks by two infantry wings of the imperial army, the Chinese army in Hankou City has definitely reached the end of the crossbow, so the two infantry wings that attacked today should be able to easily take Hankou!" ”

Regarding Yoshihara's judgment, Ogisu Libing still agrees.

"Yo Xi!" Ogishu nodded happily, and then asked, "Have the 58th Infantry Wing, the 116th Infantry Wing, and the combat vehicles and artillery that are fighting together already entered the attack position?" ”

"Hello!" Yoshihara paused, "We have all entered the designated neighborhood!" ”

As soon as the words fell, a rumbling aircraft engine roared in the eastern sky.

When they hurriedly looked up, the two of them saw that the eastern sky had slightly revealed a trace of fish belly white, and in the thin morning light, more than a dozen huge Type 96 land attack planes had already flown over Hankou.

……

"Boom!" A faint explosion came from the ground.

Even though it was more than ten meters thick, Guo Qi and the officers and soldiers of the Hankou battalion hidden in the tunnel could clearly hear the sound of explosions from the ground!

Can you imagine what it was like on the ground at this time?

"Boom, boom!" This was followed by a continuous stream of explosions.

Even the top of the tunnel began to tremble violently, and a large amount of mud and dust fell from the cracks in the logs that lay across the top of the tunnel.

The air was immediately filled with the smell of dust.

The indiscriminate bombardment by the Japanese air force lasted for half an hour.

Half an hour later, a shrill siren finally sounded from the microphone that reached the ground!

But it was the vigilant sentry who stayed on the ground that sounded the siren, and the devil attacked!

Guo Qi, who was sitting on the ground, got up and shouted in a deep voice: "Brothers, go!" ”

After He Yunpeng's 4th Battalion was completely wiped out in the last battle, Zhong Yi drew more than 600 veterans from other units to rebuild the 4th Battalion, and named it Hankou Battalion! Since there was no suitable candidate for the battalion commander for a while, Guo Qi personally served as the battalion commander of the Hankou battalion as the commander of the 2nd regiment!

"Let's go!"

"Let's go!"

"It's a fight with the dogs!"

The more than 600 officers and soldiers hidden in the tunnel immediately made a noise, and then quickly entered their respective defensive positions as Guo Qi went up from the tunnel to the ground.

Soon, the Min-24 heavy machine gun and the Dshk large-caliber heavy machine gun were erected one after another, and the only two 37mm anti-aircraft guns also quickly entered the designated position.

The sappers also laid mines at almost the junction!

Everything is ready to stop, and there will be black devil infantry in Taiping Lane ahead!

Before the infantry queue, it was still a Type 95 light tank, and the devil was really brainless, and he still adhered to the dogma of infantry and tan coordination after suffering so many losses!

Soon, the devil's attack queue entered within a hundred meters!

However, it was the houses on both sides that broke out first!

"Horn!" A crisp gunshot rang out from a house on the left side of Taiping Lane.

Then there was a bang, a violent explosion occurred in the house, and the air wave generated by the explosion instantly gushed out from the doors and windows of the house, and there was a devil figure who followed the air wave, and after landing on the ground, it bounced twice and there was no movement!

The tanks and devil infantry that were advancing along Taiping Lane were not affected in the slightest, and continued to stride forward by stepping on the corpses of their comrades, and soon entered within fifty meters.

"Call me!" Guo Qi gave an order.

The officers and men of the Hankou battalion suddenly opened fire!

……

The day has advanced to Taiping Lane, and the Five Prisons Palace is no longer safe.

Zhong Yi moved the Hankou headquarters to the Longwang Temple near the river!

There was originally a dungeon under the Dragon King Temple, and after being rebuilt, it became a strong bunker, which was originally used to defend against the attack of Japanese warships from the river.

Now it has become Zhong Yi's temporary headquarters.

From time to time, signal corps troops came in to report on the latest battle situation on the front line.

"Report, the 2nd Battalion of the 1st Regiment of the Guard Brigade was defeated, and Tiren Lane was lost!"

"Report, the 1st Battalion of the 2nd Regiment of the Special Service Brigade is full of heroic soldiers from the battalion commander to the nation, and Xiongjia Lane is lost!"

"Report, more than half of the Hankou Battalion of the 2nd Regiment of the 367 Brigade has been killed or wounded, and less than 200 remnants have retreated to Huabu Street!"

The staff officer who received the report took away the small red flag on the sand table from time to time, but saw that the small red flag on the sand table became less and less, and the control area was getting smaller and smaller, but there were more and more small blue flags, and the area occupied was also getting bigger and bigger, and now it has occupied most of Hankou!

Looking at the changes on the sand table, Feng Yuxiang's thick eyebrows have been twisted into pimples!

Feng Yuxiang thought that the devil's final general attack would definitely be extremely powerful, but he still didn't expect that it would be so powerful! Now the area controlled by the Japanese army has exceeded three-quarters of Hankou, almost the same as the general attack more than half a month ago, but that time, it was Zhong Yi's initiative to lure the enemy!

This time, it really made the devil fight like this!

The situation in Hankou is not optimistic!
