Chapter 527 The real battle
Time flips back a few minutes ago.
Higashiri Naihiko was surrounded by several division commanders such as Shinozuka Yoshio, Kiyoshi Kimizuki, and the Second Army Chief of Staff Machijiri Oki, and the Toyoheyama Observation Office.
Seeing that the Wudang Palace Fortress on the left-wing Wudang Palace Fortress and the right-wing racecourse fortress in Hankou City were destroyed one by one by one by the large-caliber cannons of the 10th Field Heavy Artillery Regiment, Higakura Miyaki Naihiko, Shinozuka Yoshio and others were in a good mood.
Yoshio Shinozuka said sincerely: "Your Highness, without the restraint of the cannon groups of Guishan and Snake Mountain Fortresses, it is much easier to attack the two-wing bunkers in Hankou city!"
The dike Bujiagui said sincerely: "Yes, before today, our cannons will not be able to close and direct shooting at the Chinese army's bunkers, and even the wilderness in front cannot be crossed!"
"Yes!" Shinozuka Yoshio said, "Your Highness has a solution!"
"There is no way to do this," Higakurimiya Nianhiko waved his hand and said, "If I have a choice, why would I be willing to take such an extreme approach?"
"Your Highness doesn't have to blame yourself for this!" Shinozuka Yoshio said, "As long as the result is right, it's good!"
The other division commanders of Qingshui Chongxi and several other divisions nodded and agreed. As long as they could capture the three towns in Wuhan and force the Chinese government to surrender, what would it be like to sacrifice three Type 96 land attacks?
While several old Japanese were talking, the Chinese army had been "exposed" from the position and retreated into the city.
Most of the four infantry squadrons of the 10th Division and the 3rd squadron of the 5th Battalion of the chariot have entered the Wudang Palace Fortress and the Racecourse Fortress.
Seeing this, Dibujiagui couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, the Imperial Army is just around the corner!"
"Oh?" Higakurigu Nihiko said lightly and said in surprise, "Why do you say that in the dike?"
"Hayi!" Dibujiagui paused his head and said, "Because Zhong Yi made a fatal mistake!"
"Is that so? What mistake did Zhong Yi make?" Dongjiugu Nihiko was surprised when he heard this.
Yoshio Shinozuka frowned slightly when she heard this, and a faint feeling of anxiety appeared in her heart.
"Hayi!" Dibujiagui paused again and said, "Zhong Yi shouldn't have left the Wudang Palace Fortress and Racecourse Fortress on both wings of Hankou to the Imperial Army. Although most of the twenty bunkers in these two fortresses have been destroyed and basically lost their defensive effect, their internal structure and underground fortifications are unscathed!"
After pausing, Dibujiagui continued: "After occupying these two fortresses, the engineers' troops can become two complete attack positions and defensive positions with just a little repair. In the future, the Imperial Army can directly attack Hankou city from these two fortresses. If the Chinese army counterattacks, the Imperial Army will also be able to defend the danger!"
"Suoga!" Higakuri Miyashi Nihiko suddenly lit up when he heard this, and he said happily, "It's true."
"Not good!" Yoshio Shinozuka's face changed drastically when he heard this, and he said anxiously, "The dike will not be stuck between you, and the troops participating in the attack will immediately evacuate the Wudang Palace Fortress and Racecourse Fortress!"
"Nani?" Hearing this, Dibujiagui was stunned immediately.
Higashinomiya Naihiko was also extremely surprised and asked: "Shinozuka, why?"
Yoshio Shinozuka took a breath and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, will a cunning person like Zhong Yi leave such a big flaw? If I'm not mistaken, this will inevitably be another trap!"
As soon as the words were finished, a dazzling red light suddenly rose in front of him.
Then a slight tremor came from the ground beneath his feet.
Then there was a rumbling explosion. When the explosion sounded, Higakurei Miyaki, Shinozuka Yoshio and others hurriedly turned back to look towards Hankou city, but they saw huge mushroom clouds rising from the Wudang Palace on both sides of Hankou city. The four infantry squadrons and a chariot squadron that had just entered these two positions had been completely swallowed up!
Although it is not clear about the specific losses, just looking at the explosion effect, you will know that the four infantry squadrons and one chariot squadron participating in the attack are definitely a bit of a disaster!
"Bagayalu!" Seeing this scene, Higakurigu Niyan was stunned at first, and then started to curse.
Yoshio Shinozuka also held his forehead with his hands and said in great anger: "I should have thought of it long ago, damn it, I should have thought of it long ago!"
As for the three division commanders including Di Bujiagui and Qingshui Chongxi, they were completely stunned. Zhong Yi is really too cunning. If you are not careful, you will fall into his plan!
...
Hankou City Center, Dongzhu Palace.
The Eastern Prison Palace has now become the brigade headquarters of the 367th Brigade.
At the top of the main hall of Dongzhu Palace, there is an observation room.
Feng Yuxiang and Zhong Yi did not return to Wuchang, but stayed in Hankou, and at this moment he was in the observation room on the top of the Dongzhu Palace Hall.
Looking at the huge mushroom clouds blooming from the Wudang Palace and the racetrack, Feng Yuxiang finally smiled.
"Okay, very good!" Feng Yuxiang said with a smile, "These two big firecrackers can kill at least five or six hundred Japanese!"
"I'm afraid it's not stopping!" Zhu Liangcheng's voice suddenly came from below. When Feng Yuxiang and Zhong Yi looked down, they saw Zhu Liangcheng hurried up from the spiral stairs.
Up to the roof, Zhu Liangcheng said: "The Japanese who attacked Wudang Palace and the Racecourse Fortress this time had all added up to four squadrons and more than 1,000 people, and there was a chariot squadron with more than 20 tanks! And according to the Frontier Observation Post report, the four infantry squadrons and chariot squadrons of the Japanese have basically entered two fortress positions!"
"Oh, is that?" Feng Yuxiang said happily when he heard this, "Then we can make a profit!"
Zhong Yi shook his head and said in a deep voice: "This kind of thing is just a matter of one go. Next, there is no second Wudang Palace fortress or second racecourse fortress that will be bombed for us!"
"Then we have made a profit too!" Feng Yuxiang said with a smile, "Everyone killed four Japanese squadrons and a chariot squadron, which is good after all! It is victory after all!"
Zhong Yi nodded and said, "But next, there will be a real fierce battle!"
"Yeah!" Feng Yuxiang said, "But just as Zi Ren said, one word, do it!"
...
Almost at the same time, on Fenghe Mountain.
Nianyan from Dongjiugu gritted his teeth and said, "This guy Zhong Yi is really cunning. He actually used the Wudang Palace Fortress and the Racecourse Fortress as a trap! He caused such a great loss to the Imperial Army!"
After pausing, Higakure-Miya Nianyan said again: "However, such a good thing cannot be a second time. Next is a real battle. I want to see what else can Zhong Yi use to stop the imperial army?"
Speaking of this, Higakurimiya Nianhiko turned his gaze to Yoshio Shinozuka and said in a deep voice: "Shinozuka, let's see your 10th Division next!"
"Hayi!"
Chapter completed!
