Chapter 613: Another Fiasco
Rewind time to a few minutes ago.
The four infantry regiments that were attacked had already compressed the Hankou and Hanyang's national troops into a narrow area, and the battle would be over soon. Higakuremiya Naihiko and Machijiri Ryoki were all very happy.
Machijiri Ryoki said with great emotion: "Your Highness, it has been two full months since the 10th Division troops arrived at Hankou City on June 30th to today, and I finally won!"
"Yes, it's really not easy to win this battle." Higakuramiya Nianhiko said with great agreement, "not to mention the losses of Okamura's 11th Army on the border of Hunan and Jiangxi, our Second Army suffered nearly 120,000 casualties in Wuhan! More than 90,000 of them were buried in Wuhan forever!"
Machijiri said, "But fortunately, we still won..."
Before the last word "Wuhan" was expressed, a cloud of smoke suddenly rose from the direction of Hankou!
Almost at the same time, Higashijiugu Nihiko also noticed the huge smoke and dust suddenly rising from the direction of Hankou!
Higashikuramiya Nianhiko's eyes suddenly froze, and she said, "Machijiri, what's going on with these smoke and dust in Hankou?"
"Such smoke and dust are definitely not caused by tank main guns or war defense gun shells. Only shells with a caliber of 150mm or aerial bombs above 50kg can have this effect!" After a sudden pause, Machijiri Ryoki said again, "If it is broken, it must be a mine of the Chinese army again!"
Before he finished speaking, a ball of smoke and dust rose again in Hankou!
It was not until this time that the rumbling explosion finally came from Hankou!
Looking at the huge smoke and dust blooming in the field of view, Higakuremiya Naihiko and Machijiri Ryoki's face immediately collapsed, because there was a lot of smoke and dust blooming this time, almost completely covering the central urban area of Hankou!
It is completely conceivable that the two infantry regiments that have advanced to the central urban area of Hankou at this time, what happened at this moment!
After a long time, Higashinomiya Naihiko finally came back from his shock and said with hatred: "Damn it, we have not reminded Hijimizu and Ogisu to establish troops. When the attacking troops advance, they must pay attention to checking the surrounding environment and ensure that there are no buried mines! Why are they still hit?"
...
Almost at the same time, Sun Liren went up Guishan.
At this moment, the two were standing on the top of the Yu Palace, overlooking the battle situation in Hanyang!
Sun Liren said: "Zi Ren, if I was not wrong, the veteran soldier of Dongjiugu Niyan must be cursing people at this moment. Why is the Japanese who are scolding attack so careless? Even though we know that there are tens of thousands of mines modified from large-caliber high-explosive grenades in our hands, we still hit our way!"
"Absolute!" Zhong Yi said, "If I were Higashinomiya Nianyan, I would scold me!"
"That's true." Sun Liren smiled slightly and said, "But, Higashijiu Nihiko really mistaken the Japanese troops who attacked this time! These Japanese are actually very careful. When advancing forward, they will carefully check the ground, the houses and even ruins on the street to ensure that there are no buried mines underneath!"
He paused and said, "But who could have thought that Ziren, you would have started preparing for today's counterattack early since half a month ago, and let the engineers bury the mines half a meter deep underground! Unless the Japanese dig every street and alley to the sky, it would be impossible to find these mines!"
Zhong Yi smiled and said, "The Japanese don't have time, and they can't dig every street and alley upwards, so they can only be obediently blown away by our landmines without leaving any armor!"
Sun Liren also laughed, but his smile soon stopped.
Sun Liren said again: "Zi Ren, but you can only use this trick once, but it won't work if you use it again! Then, you will really fight hard. Can we win?"
Zhong Yi asked back: "Fumin, what do you think?"
"I can't say it well!" Sun Liren shook his head and sighed, "Zi Ren, the increase in troops and reduce stoves you imagined was very successful. To this day, the Japanese must have mistakenly thought that we had less than 10,000 people left, otherwise they would never have launched a general attack today! But because your increase in troops and reduce stoves was too successful, the Japanese would attack hard!"
"Yes." Zhong Yi said, "The Japanese will definitely launch fierce attacks in succession next!"
Sun Liren said again: "Although there are more than 50,000 people left in our Wuhan garrison area, there are at least 110,000 Japanese soldiers on the other side. Moreover, once the Japanese start the general attack, their heavy artillery groups, aviation troops and chariot troops will definitely be full of weapons, and we may not be able to withstand it!"
"You are right!" Zhong Yi agreed and said, "But at least, we won this battle. The four infantry regiments that the Japanese attacked this time would be more than 13,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
...
An hour later, Higakure-Miya Nihiko returned to the headquarters from the Fenghe Mountain Observation Post.
At this time, before breaking into Hankou, the four infantry corpses in Hanyang had already escaped. However, when they entered, there were four fully organized infantry corpses with more than 13,000 people. When they escaped, there were only less than 7,000 people left!
With just one attack, the fourth division of the Second Army lost more than 6,000 people. Moreover, since the control of the battlefield fell into the hands of the Chinese army, these more than 6,000 people were basically the final number of deaths!
What made Higashirakurikuriya even more annoyed was that a chariot squadron and a war artillery squadron that coordinated the infantry attack could not escape and were all destroyed!
"Baga!" In a hurry, Nianyan from Higakure-Minister-Minister-Minister-Minister-Minister-Minister-Minister-Minister-Minister-Minister-Minister-Minister-Minister-Minister-Minister-Minister-Minister-Minister-Minister-Minister-Minister-Minister
Machijiriya stood beside him and didn't dare to persuade him at all.
Higashijiugu Nihiko was in a fit of anger. If he said the wrong thing and was cut by him with a knife, that would be too unfair!
After a while, the anger in Higashikuramiya Nianhiko's heart gradually subsided. Then she turned around and said to Machijiriki with a dark face, "Machijiri, the situation is not right!"
After pausing, Higakure-Miya Nianhiko said again: "Although the four infantry corps that attacked this time failed to find the mines buried underground in the Chinese army, they still learned from the previous lessons and did not use dense formations. Instead, the distance between the various infantry brigades and even the infantry squadrons!"
"So, the landmines' killing of the Imperial Army is not as serious as before!"
"However, the four infantry corps that attacked were still defeated by the Chinese army. More than 13,000 elite emperor soldiers finally escaped and less than 7,000!"
Chapter completed!
