Chapter 449 The big fish is here!
At around 4:30 pm, the main force of the 40th Infantry Regiment finally arrived.
The 40th Infantry Regiment was organized into Tottori, so it is also called Tottori Regiment.
The captain of the regiment, Xi Dazhao Pang, was obviously a little angry. He thought that the main force of the regiment could arrive outside Hankou before four o'clock. In this case, even if he could not occupy Hankou in one go, at least he would have enough time to clear the outer defense line of the Chinese army. However, he did not expect that in the end, he was slowed by half an hour!
The previous continuous battles still had a great impact on Tottori United.
Fortunately, the 1st infantry brigade, who was fighting the vanguard, did not disappoint him. He actually seized the periphery of Hankou Railway Station before dark!
When Nishidaobata arrived with the main force of Tottori Army, Komiyama's brigade had already built a complete heavy machine gun fire point on two arc trenches, and also built a large number of fire point between the two trenches. It was asking the officers and soldiers of the 1st brigade to dig trenches on both sides and connect the two arc trenches in front and back.
The trench surrounded it and it became a camp!
Nishidaobata didn't think much about it, and immediately ordered Tottori to enter the camp!
The main force of the corps entered the camp, but Nishi Ojo Pang took Yuji Takeuchi and Ichiro Komiyayama, and couldn't wait to climb the small hill bag in the middle of the camp.
Up to the top of the mountain, Komiya Yama Ichiro couldn't help but ruthlessly mocking him.
Komiya Yama Ichiro smiled and said, "These Chinese police are so stupid. There is such a striking commanding height between the two permanent fortifications in front and back, but no fortifications are built on them! It's so stupid!"
"After all, it's just some policemen, not regular soldiers." Takeuchi Yuji paused and said, "But it's strange, where did the regular soldiers of the Chinese state go? Why are there only a group of policemen guarding Hankou?"
"Chinese regular army?" Xi Datou smiled, "Then it's time to say it, it must have run away!"
"Run away?" Takeuchi Yuji said in surprise, "No."
"What's wrong?" Xida Tiao said sneered, "We've come all the way from Xuzhou. When have you ever seen the regular Chinese army defending the city?"
Yuji Takeuchi was speechless.
As the Japanese army fought along the way, the Chinese army had never defended the city. They basically only ambushed and harassed them in the field, or they were detoured behind them and attacked the town strongholds captured by the Japanese army.
Not to mention, this kind of fighting made the Japanese army very passive, and in the end there was no way, so they could only divide their troops to sweep.
This not only greatly delayed the Japanese army's advancement speed, but also severely dispersed the Japanese army's forces!
When the Second Army first set off, there were five divisions of troops, but now only three divisions are still continuing to advance, and the other two divisions have been scattered into the vast occupied areas for alertness.
Xidao Pang raised his telescope and said while observing: "It is impossible for the Chinese army to defend the city. At most, it is only a few police officers to pretend! But the bunker group in front is still a bit tricky!"
"Hai." Komiya Yama Ichiro also paused his head and said, "I have seen it just now. This bunker group consists of three large main bunkers and more than a dozen sub-bunkers on the periphery, which can provide fire cover between each other."
After a pause, Komiya Yama Ichiro said again: "If you attack with a strong force, there will be great casualties!"
Although the Chinese police guarding the city opposite were like scum, they hid in a solid bunker and used machine gun fire to pose a fatal threat to the Japanese army!
Xidatsuba frowned and said, "It's too late today, it's too late. Wait until tomorrow morning, your 1st brigade tentatively attacked once. If you can take it, of course it would be better. If you can't take it down, call the air force to support it to see if the air force can blow up this bunker group!"
After a pause, he continued: "If the aviation force cannot blow up these bunkers, there is no need to get too involved. He detours from the left and right wings of the bunkers and launches an attack directly on the Hankou city! A bunker group can only defend at most two thousand meters wide, and cannot defend the entire Hankou at all!"
"Hayi!"
...
While Xida Takao Pang was observing the bunker group, Zhong Yi and the others also observed the movements of the Japanese army in the bunker.
"Old Zhu, the big fish is here!" Zhong Yi curled his lips slightly and said proudly, "Let the 1st regiment be ready for attack!"
"Roun, are you planning to attack at night?" Zhu Liangcheng said, "Have the artillery positions in Guishan and Snake Mountain Fortresses measured and fired the entire area outside Hankou City?"
Zhong Yi smiled and said, "It has been measured long ago!"
"Is that so? That's enough for the Japanese tonight!" Zhu Liangcheng said, "24 155mm caliber field howitzers only need a wave of firepower to cover the Japanese outside the city. Our 1st regiment can easily defeat the Japanese with another assault. It's hard to lose this battle!"
"Defeat?" Zhong Yi shook his head and said, "My is not defeat, but annihilation!"
After a pause, Zhong Yi pointed to the Japanese military camp in his vision ahead and said with a grim voice: "I want to take the heads of more than 3,000 Japanese soldiers to set the tone for the defense of Wuhan: our army will win, and the Japanese will lose!"
"Total annihilation?!" Zhu Liangcheng frowned and said, "Room, this is not easy!"
Zhong Yi said: "I said yes, it will definitely do it!"
Zhu Liangcheng was shocked when he heard this.
...
At the same time, it was at the Wuhan Garrison Headquarters.
Xiao Bing is undergoing the final debugging of the equipment.
Three months ago, not long after the establishment of the Wuhan Garrison Command, Zhong Yi transferred Xiao Bing from the 367th Brigade to the Wuhan Garrison Command, responsible for preparing for the Voice of Jianghan.
The Battle of Nanjing has fully proved that battlefield broadcasts play an extraordinary role in combat!
So of course Zhong Yi would not ignore such a sharp blade. He immediately transferred Xiao Bing to the Wuhan Garrison Headquarters and was responsible for preparing the Jianghan Voice Column Team!
After three months of intense preparations, the Voice of Jianghan is finally about to premiere!
Compared with the Voice of Nanjing, the Voice of Jianghan is much more formal. Xiao Bing is no longer a commander alone. He not only has anchors, editors, directors, but also has more than a dozen special battlefield reporters!
At this moment, Xiao Bing was gathering more than 20 people in the entire column group to conduct the final audition.
Halfway through the audition, Miko Hibino suddenly came in and reported: "Sister Xiao, someone is looking for you outside."
Xiao Bing asked the other personnel to continue to try, then followed Miko Hibino to the gate of the radio building, and then saw a person who surprised her very much.
This person is nothing else, but Zhong Yi’s fiancée Zhang Manyi.
Looking at Zhang Manyi's exquisite makeup, Xiao Bing couldn't help feeling jealous.
