At this time, it was in Shajia Lane on the middle road.

The shock wave from the explosion of 20,000 mines slowly dissipated.

The violently shaking ground was calm again, but the smoke from the explosion and the dust from the razing of the house gradually rose and became thicker!

Guo Qi, the commander of the 2nd Regiment of the 367 Brigade, walked out of the fortifications where he was hiding, looked up, and saw that half of the Shajia Lane occupied by the devils in front of him, and the Taiping Lane in front of him had been completely shrouded in gunsmoke!

In the smoke of gunpowder, there is still a faint red light that is constantly rolling!

It's completely conceivable what will happen to the devils who were within the range of the explosion before?

There is no doubt that there is a certain danger in rushing into the center of the explosion to clean up the battlefield at this time, but even so, it is still necessary to go in and clean up the battlefield, and in order to kill as many little devils as possible, it is worth taking a certain risk!

After all, the effect of heavy damage is completely different from the total annihilation of the devil infantry who broke into the city of Hankou!

At that moment, Guo Qi put on a gas mask and personally led a company into the explosion area to clean up the battlefield!

Guo Qi was the first to rush into Taiping Alley, and when he looked out through the mask of his gas mask, he saw that the entire alley was shrouded in thick smoke and dust.

However, you can still clearly see what happened after the big bang!

Just in the alley of Taiping Lane, the Independent Engineer Regiment planted at least 500 mines!

An alley less than 200 meters long has buried 500 mines converted from 155mm caliber shells, an average of two and a half mines per meter!

Such a density is simply terrifying!

Therefore, in Guo Qi's field of vision, there is hardly a complete private house building that can be seen!

Not only the building, but not even a single complete rafter or tile, not even a single complete tile!

Of course, it is even more impossible to see the complete devil or firearm, and even if there is a complete one, I am afraid that it has been shocked to death by the shock wave generated by the explosion, and then buried by the collapsed rubble!

In addition to the rubble, there are countless large pits in the middle of the alley and on the foundations of the houses on both sides!

The bottom of many large pits is still billowing out of the green smoke, and from a distance of dozens of meters, you can feel the heat wave coming from the bottom of the big pit!

With such a scene, even cleaning the battlefield is redundant!

Therefore, Guo Qi only ordered the 6th Battalion to restore the lost position, but did not order the battlefield to be cleaned up, in fact, there was nothing to clean, because in the explosion area, there would be no more little devils lying down and pretending to be dead, and there would basically not be a good rifle or machine gun left for them to pick up.

……

Five Prisons Palace, Hankou Headquarters.

Zhang Shiliang put down the phone and said to Zhong Yi: "Counselor, the special service brigade reports that there is hardly a complete house left in the explosion area near Xiongjia Lane, and not a single complete devil corpse has been found!" ”

Hearing Zhang Shiliang's words, Zhu Liangcheng, Stilwell and Li Lianggang were all speechless.

Before the big bang, they didn't have a very clear idea of 60,000 mines converted from 155mm shells, but now, they do!

60,000 mines converted from 155mm caliber shells, detonated in a narrow area with a radius of less than 0.5 square kilometers, can really blow up the entire area to nothing!

For example, this time, nearly 10,000 devil soldiers of the three infantry wings that broke into the city of Hankou from the middle, left, and right roads were all blown into ashes!

It was really blown to ashes!

Whether it is the Taiping Lane area of the middle road, the Tiren Lane area on the left wing, or the Xiongjia Lane area on the right wing, not even a complete devil corpse has been found! Not really!

……

Half an hour later, Higashikurenomiya took Machijiri and rode to the Japanese army's forward observation post at the Hankou railway station, accompanied by the commander of the 10th Division, Yoshio Shinozuka.

In order to ensure the safety of Higashikurenomiya Tsukihiko, Machijiri ordered Shigeo Yamamoto to enter the ruins of the Hankou railway station with a special operations team in advance, and set up a guard post on the commanding heights around it.

It didn't take long for Higashikurenomiya Tsuruhiko and his entourage to come to the train station.

At this time, the smoke and smoke shrouded in the area of Taiping Lane have gradually dissipated, so standing on the high ground of Hankou Railway Station, you can roughly see the situation of Taiping Lane.

But I saw that a narrow and long area with a width of about 500 meters from east to west and a depth of about 100 meters from north to south centered on Taiping Lane had been blown up beyond recognition, and all the houses in the area were razed to the ground, leaving only dense huge pits in place, and many big pits were still emitting green smoke from the outside!

Seeing this, Higashikurenomiya Twisthiko's heart suddenly sank.

Yoshio Shinozuka and Machijiri Liangji's faces instantly turned blue!

Machijiri Liangji said with a dark face: "Shinozuka-kun, if I'm not mistaken, before the explosion, the 63rd Infantry Wing of your 10th Division should have been near Shajia Lane, right?" ”

"Hello!" Yoshio Shinozuka paused heavily, and said with a bitter expression, "In order to speed up the speed, the advance route chosen by the 63rd Infantry Wing is the advance route of the 10th Infantry Wing yesterday!" And before the big explosion, the 63rd Infantry Wing just advanced to the vicinity of Shajia Lane! ”

Machijiri said again: "But at this moment, in my field of vision, I can't see a single imperial soldier at all!" ”

After a pause, Machijiri continued: "However, in the areas such as Tokai Street that had been occupied before, there was a trace of the Shina Army again! ”

"Hello!" Yoshio Shinozuka was stunned again, and he didn't say anything, the results were already in front of him, what else was there to say? The 63rd Infantry Wing was blown to ashes!

It's not just the 63rd Infantry Wing that's finished!

There are also two infantry wings of the 13th Division and the 116th Division!

Higashikurenomiya Tsusahiko's gaze swept over the explosion areas of Tiren Lane and Xiongjia Lane on both sides, and then put down the binoculars and closed his eyes in pain!

This big explosion hit Higashikurenomiya Tsuruhiko very hard!

Seeing that he was about to successfully occupy Hankou, it turned out that he suddenly came here?

In the blink of an eye, three elite infantry wings were blown to ashes, and more than nine thousand elite imperial soldiers were blown to ashes by the Chinese in the blink of an eye, who can stand this?

After a long time, Higashikurenomiya suddenly opened his eyes again, waved his fists and roared: "Can anyone tell me what the hell is going on, what the hell is going on, what the hell is going on?" ”

Yoshio Shinozuka, Machijiri Liangji, and Adjutant Mitsumi Igarashi all drooped their heads and remained silent.

Only the painful hysterical roar of Higashikurenomiya Tsukihiko echoed over the ruins of the Hankou railway station for a long time.
