Of course, it is not only the Japanese army that suffers heavy casualties, but also the national army!

As soon as the battle ended, the phone number of the temporary command center located in the Five Prisons Palace kept ringing!

This is the 367th Brigade and the Guard Brigade. The Special Brigade reports to the command center the number of casualties has come!

Because before the war started, Zhong Yi specifically instructed three brigade commanders to report the casualties as soon as possible so that Zhong Yi can adjust the training department according to the casualties.

Zhong Yi answered several calls in a row, but no new calls came in.

Feng Yuxiang immediately asked, "Zi Ren, what's the situation? Is our losses a lot?"

"The loss is very large!" Zhong Yi nodded and said, "There were at least two hundred people killed in the 367th Brigade, 400 guard brigade, and 300 spy Brigade also killed in the scattered Brigade! This is only temporary, and there will definitely be more wounded people in the future, so there are at least thousands of people killed in this battle!"

"Ah?" Feng Yuxiang shouted in dismay, "More than a thousand people were killed in just one attack?"

Hearing this number, Feng Yuxiang subconsciously began to count with his fingers, losing 1,000 people at a time, and the three brigades in Hankou totaled more than 24,000 people. If the Japanese came to attack like this six times a day, then in just four days, the three brigades in Hankou would have almost all casualties!

How can I fight this battle? I can’t fight it!

"Yeah!" Zhong Yi said, "The Japanese's attack was extraordinary. It was a group attack of a brigade! Such casualties were actually expected!"

After pausing, Zhong Yi said again: "But in my judgment, the Japanese can't bear the attack of this brigade-scale group, after all, they have more casualties!"

Feng Yuxiang said again: "How many people were killed or killed by the Japanese?"

Zhong Yi said in a deep voice: "There are at least two thousand Japanese soldiers who were shot dead by us on the battlefield, but the number of injured is unknown, because most of the injured Japanese have been rescued, and there is no way to count them exactly!"

Feng Yuxiang said: "In other words, the casualties ratio between enemy and us is basically two to one?"

Zhong Yi nodded and continued: "The chief officer, it is already very good to be able to fight two to one. After all, our army now does not have a solid bunker as a barrier, and the troops' training and technical and tactical qualities are not as good as the Japanese, so they suffer a lot in hand-to-hand combat, and hand-to-hand combat is the main combat method of street combat!"

"No, no, Zi Ren, you misunderstood. I didn't mean that." Feng Yuxiang said quickly, "I'm not dissatisfied with the two-to-one casualty ratio, but I'm very satisfied!"

After pausing, Feng Yuxiang said again: "Since the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, our Chinese army has fought several battles with a casualty ratio of 2-to-1 with Japanese people? In my memory, there is nothing at all! Not to mention two-to-one, even one-to-one, one-to-two battles!"

As he said that, Feng Yuxiang gave Zhong Yi a thumbs up and said, "By this alone, Zi Ren, you are very unhappy. Old Feng, I will accept you!"

"However, this is only temporary!" Zhong Yi shook his head and said, "The Japanese are now suffering from the loss of not fighting street fighting much before. However, the troops of our Wuhan Garrison Command have been conducting street fighting training for more than three months and are more familiar with street fighting than the Japanese, so this situation is here."

After a moment of pause, Zhong Yi said again: "However, as the war continues to deepen and as the Japanese gradually become familiar with the tactics of street fighting, the casualties ratio between the Japanese and our army will definitely continue to rise. One-to-one casualties will become the norm, and one-to-two or even one-to-three results are also possible!"

Feng Yuxiang showed worries when he heard this.

...

Meanwhile, at the Second Army Command.

After listening to the report of the 10th Division, Higakure-Miya Nianyan said in disbelief: "Nani? The attack of the 10th Division failed? And more than 2,000 officers and soldiers were killed? More than 200 officers and soldiers were seriously injured?"

"Hayi!" Dibujiagui shouted heavily and said, "A considerable number of the more than 200 people seriously injured have recovered from injuries, but it is probably difficult for them to return to the battlefield!"

"Baga!" Higakuremiya Nianhiko frowned, "How could this be the result?"

No wonder Higashinomiya Nianhiko could not understand it, because after he thought that after the Air Corps destroyed the Hankou Railway Station Fortress and the heavy artillery groups of Guishan and Snake Mountain Fortresses by suicide bombing, the biggest obstacle for the 10th Division to attack Hankou had been cleared, and there was no suspense in the battle behind it.

For this reason, Higashijiugu Nianyan issued an order without hesitation to launch a brigade-scale group charge from Hankou Railway Station, Wudang Palace and Racecourse at the same time!

Higashijiugu Nihiko originally thought that under the charge of the 10th Division, the Chinese army stationed in Hankou would collapse at once, and then the 10th Division could easily occupy Hankou!

Unexpectedly, the 10th Division not only failed to easily occupy Hankou, but was defeated!

In fact, not only was it a defeat, but it was also a crushing defeat, with extremely heavy casualties!

At that moment, Higashinomiya Nianhiko frowned and said, "Shinozuka, what's going on? Why is this happening? I can't understand how the 10th Division lost this attack?"

Yoshio Shinozuka said, "Your Highness, let someone else answer this question."

After saying that, Yoshio Shinozuka turned around and waved towards the tent door, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Aso, please come in!"

The staff of the headquarters such as Higakuremiya Naihiko, Machijiriki and others looked back and saw a blood-covered soldier walking in, suddenly held his feet at attention, and then slammed his head.

Yoshio Shinozuka said: "Your Highness, this is Hiroshi Aso, a senior corporal from the 1st Squadron of the 4th Squadron of the 3rd Infantry Battalion to the 10th Infantry Regiment! He just participated in the attack in the direction of Wudang Palace!"

"Aso-kun." Hiromiya Nianhiko's eyes fell on Aso Hiromiya's face and said in a deep voice, "Can you tell me how the Imperial Army's attack in the direction of Wudang Palace failed?"

"Hayi!" Aso Hiroshi paused his head again and replied, "After we went deeper along Yudai Street for about 300 meters, we were attacked by the Chinese army. The Chinese army's firepower was very dense, and their people were everywhere, especially their machine guns, which were simply everywhere. The Imperial Army could not even find a hiding place!"

Higakurimiya Nianhiko frowned and said, "This is the only one?"

"Your Highness, this is enough to illustrate the problem!" Shinozuka Yoshio waved his hand and signaled Hiroshi Aso to withdraw from the tent, and said, "Jun Aso mentioned the important point just now. There are people everywhere, especially the other party's machine guns, which are simply everywhere! This is enough to show that the Chinese army is very experienced in the selection and deployment of firepower points!"
