Chapter 589
While the two were talking, a long-handled grenade suddenly threw it from a gap in the wooden board, rolling down at Shun Nakamura's feet, and began to smoke.
"Nakamura, grenade!" Hasebe Shiniu shouted.
Shun Nakamura's reaction was faster than that of Hasebe's second son. He reached out and picked up the grenade from the ground and threw it back from the gap in the wooden board. Then, a loud explosion sounded from the house next door opposite the wooden board wall, and a scream was faintly mixed with the explosion.
The air waves caused by the explosion also tore a big hole in the wooden wall!
The second man from Hasegawa picked up the 38th hood and was about to break into this gap!
"Hasebe, wait!" But Toshi Nakamura rushed forward and stopped him.
Hasebe Shin-noon turned around and looked at Nakamura Shun with confusion, but saw Nakamura Shun untied a grenade from his waist, gently knocked it on the helmet, waited for three seconds, and then threw it in through the gap.
Then, Shun Nakamura and Shinno Hasebe turned their backs at the same time.
The next moment, the grenade exploded across the gap, and a scream was heard faintly in the explosion.
"It's time to pass now!" Nakamura Shun smiled alone, and walked into the gap of the wooden wall with the 38th large cover first and entered the next house.
The second male Hasebe held a gun and followed Shun Nakamura through the gap.
Looking closely, I saw that the first floor of the next house had been blown up, with fragments of furniture splashing everywhere, and three Chinese soldiers were curled up on the ground!
...
In a blink of an eye, a day passed.
When Zhong Yi walked into the division headquarters of the New 38th Division accompanied by Sun Liren, he saw the three regiment leaders of the New 38th Division being in a fierce debate.
Seeing Sun Liren and Zhong Yi coming in, the three regiment leaders held their feet at attention.
Zhong Yi waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "You don't have to worry about me, keep talking."
"Yes!" Yuan Changrui, the leader of the 112th Regiment, responded and said, "Seat, we are discussing the performance of the Japanese! The performance of the Japanese in Hanyang today is very unusual!"
"Oh, is that?" Zhong Yi said, "Tell me what you found."
"Okay." Yuan Changrui nodded, "Compared with his previous performance in Hankou, the performance of the Japanese in Hanyang today. To put it in the words of Ginseng, it would be as excited as if he was injected with chicken blood!"
Liu Fangwu, the commander of the 113th Regiment, also said: "Yes, the officers and soldiers of our new 38th Division were no match for the street battle!"
Li Hong, the commander of the 114th Regiment, continued: "Just one day, our new 38th Division killed more than 1,000 people. These are veterans who have experienced many battles, all veterans!"
Speaking of this, the three team leaders all showed regret on their faces.
Because these veterans were all fought from the Songhu battlefield!
Why didn’t Zhong Yi feel sorry for his heart? He then continued: “So do you know why the Japanese performed so crazy in Hanyang today?”
All three team leaders shook their heads and said nothing.
Sun Liren said, "Everyone, I'll tell you a very bad news. The old Japanese devil, Higakure-Miya Niyan, has issued a high reward for the Japanese army participating in the war. For every killing one of our officers and soldiers, you can get a reward of 100 yen. The reward for officers is even higher, and Ziren's head is worth one million yen!"
"Can't you tell me?" Zhong Yi patted his head and smiled, "My head is so valuable!"
Yuan Changrui, Liu Fangwu and Li Hong could not laugh because this was really not good news.
Sun Liren said again: "As the saying goes, there must be brave men under heavy rewards. Now you should know why the Japanese were so motivated in the battlefield in Hanyang today, right?"
"Yes!" Yuan Changrui, Liu Fangwu and Li Hongzhong's key points.
Then, Yuan Changrui said in a deep voice: "There are also the masters. The old Japanese devil, Higakurei, actually imitated Matsui Ishigen and also promoted the battle to kill enemies in Wuhan. We are in great trouble!"
"Yes!" Liu Fangwu sighed, "Today is just the first day, and our new 38th Division killed more than 1,000 people! How many people are there in total in our new 38th Division? Nine thousand people!"
Li Hong continued: "That is to say, if we don't leave nine days, we will fight all our teachers!"
"So!" Yuan Changrui said in a deep voice, "We can no longer fight street battles with the Japanese!"
"Yes!" Liu Fangwu agreed, "The Japanese's training is better than our new 38th Division, and their physical fitness is better than ours. Our brothers who fight in close combat are no match for the Japanese at all!"
Li Hong continued: "Weapons and equipment are not as good as Japanese. If you don't talk about anything else, just grenades. If our grenades are thrown early, they will be picked up by Japanese and then thrown back. But if you throw them late, you will explode yourself! However, Japanese melon grenades are very standard, and the fuze delay is said to be five seconds or five seconds!"
Yuan Changrui said again: "Before, with our familiarity with the terrain, we could barely compete with the Japanese for one to two casualties. But now, the Japanese are stimulated by the high rewards and their combat power soared. The casualties of both sides are no longer one to two, but one to ten or even twenty!"
"What did you say?" Sun Liren said, "One to ten? Even one to twenty?"
"Yes!" Yuan Changrui said, "Stand, our new 38th Division killed more than 1,000 people today, but do you know how many Japanese corpses were left on the battlefield?"
Liu Fangwu said: "There are only one hundred pieces!"
Li Hong said: "Isn't this one to ten?"
Yuan Changrui said: "Our new 38th Division is still good. The 1st brigade and the 2nd brigade on both wings are even worse. The two brigades killed more than 2,000 officers and soldiers in total, but only about 100 Japanese soldiers were killed!"
Liu Fangwu spread his hands and said, "There are also genin seats. Isn't this just one to twenty?"
Sun Liren took a deep breath and looked back at Zhong Yi. He didn't know what to say, because the severity of the situation was far beyond his imagination!
Zhong Yi waved his hand and said calmly: "Only finding more than 100 Japanese corpses on the battlefield does not mean that you only killed more than 100 Japanese! Because the Japanese will try to take away the bodies of their dead comrades before they withdraw! So today your new 38th Division will definitely not kill more than 100 enemies, but at least 200 people!"
Sun Liren said: "But the problem is that even if there are more than 200 people, the casualties ratio is only one to five. According to this casualties ratio, our Wuhan garrison will never last the last one!"
Zhong Yi was shocked when he heard this because what Sun Liren said was true.
At present, there are about 150,000 armed forces in the Wuhan garrison area! Even if some officers and soldiers can recover after being injured, the total number of troops will not exceed 200,000!
If the casualties ratio of 1 to 5, the 200,000 national troops could only defeat 40,000 Japanese soldiers at most!
This damage is far from enough to hurt Higakure-Miya Nihiko's Second Army!
