"Don't keep the buffer zone, push the defense line out to the city wall?" Sun Liren's expression moved slightly.

Hanyang originally had city walls, but most of them were demolished during the civil period. The remaining city walls and several city gates also turned into ruins in the wind and rain.

Although it is a broken wall, it is still more than enough as a fortification.

And as Chen Jingan said, if the defense line is pushed out to the vicinity of the city wall, it can avoid close combat with the Japanese in the streets and alleys, and the Japanese's individual combat power advantage will not be able to be used!

Thinking of this, Sun Liren was a little moved. Maybe this method is feasible!

Zhong Yi said suddenly: "No, the combat buffer zone must be retained, and the defense line cannot be expanded outward to the city wall. We cannot change the tactics because of the improvement of the Japanese combat effectiveness. This is called passiveness, and this is called self-disturbance!"

Sun Liren frowned and said, "But Ziren, if you continue to fight like this, there will be too many casualties!"

"We have great casualties, and the casualties of the Japanese will will not be small. Now it depends on who has a stronger will, and it depends on who can persevere until the end!" Zhong Yi said, "In short, I still said the same thing as before. Our national army will never be scared by the enemy! No matter how powerful the enemy is, no matter how dangerous the situation is, our national army will not be afraid! And we will not admit defeat!"

After saying that, Zhong Yi turned around and left, leaving the others staring at him.

...

At this time, it was in the Chongqing Command.

Principal Chang came to the commander again.

Recently, Principal Chang has come to the command headquarters to be diligent.

But this is normal, because the battle for Wuhan has entered the most critical decisive stage!

However, today, as soon as he walked into the combat hall, Principal Chang found that the atmosphere inside was different. Whether it was Bai Chongbei, He Yingpei and other senior generals, or Wen Yingxing and Yang Nan, all of them looked very heavy.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, the senior generals and senior leaders in the hall turned around and saw that it was Principal Chang and quickly stood at attention.

Principal Chang waved his hand and asked Bai Chong sadly: "Jiansheng, look at the expression on your face, is there something wrong with Wuhan?"

"Yes." Bai Chong said grimly, "Principal, I'm afraid there will be big trouble in Wuhan!"

"Big trouble?" Principal Chang's heart sank suddenly when he heard this, and he said, "What trouble?"

Liu Sheng said: "I just received a telegram from the Wuhan Garrison Command, saying that Higashikui Miyaki Nianhiko was imitating Matsui Ishien and also held a battle to kill enemies in Wuhan! Stimulated by the high bonus, the individual combat effectiveness of the Wuhan Japanese army has been greatly improved, and in today's street battle, it caused a heavy blow to the Wuhan defenders!"

"Severely hurt?" President Chang said in a deep voice, "How heavy is it?"

Chen Shi said: "After a fierce battle in one day, more than 6,000 defenders in Wuhan were killed, but the Japanese left only more than 600 corpses on the battlefield!"

"What?" Principal Chang said in a deep voice, "a casualty ratio of one to ten!"

"One to ten shouldn't be the case. The Japanese must have taken away a considerable number of dead bodies." Liu Sheng shook his head and continued, "However, the casualty ratio of one to five is still relatively credible!"

After pausing, Liu Sheng said again: "The Wuhan Garrison Command also believes that one to five is more credible!"

"This is really a wave of just a drift, and another wave of waves rises!" Principal Chang frowned and said in a deep voice, "Two days ago, the Wuhan Garrison District just buried three Japanese corpses through 60,000 landmines, rewriting the casualties between the enemy and us into one-to-one. However, it's not too late to be happy that Dongjiugu Nihiko made this again!"

"Principal!" He Yingpei said, "This time is more difficult than ever before!"

"I know this!" Principal Chang nodded, "After all, Nanjing's insight is not far away!"

The Kuomintang army was in Nanjing, and it suffered a huge loss in the battle to kill the enemy by Matsui Ishione!

He Yingpei said again: "Principal, the troops in the Wuhan garrison area are still about 150,000, and the second army of Higashijiugu Niyan's 2nd Army are also about 150,000, and the forces of both sides are basically the same! If the previous casualties ratio is based on the previous proportion, then the first one that cannot stand up must be Higashijiugu Niyan's 2nd Army, but now..."

Chen Shi continued: "But now, if we follow today's fighting style and according to the casualties of one to five, at most one month, the troops in the Wuhan garrison district will basically fight for nothing, while the casualties of the second army of Higashijiugu Niyan, are less than 20,000, so the plan formulated by the commander before the war will be completely lost!"

"One month?" Liu Sheng shook his head and said it very rarely, "I'm afraid I can't hold on for a month!"

Liu Sheng's support surprised Chen Shi, and he said in surprise: "What does Brother Zhang mean?"

Liu Sheng sighed: "I mean, the Wuhan Garrison District may not last for a month, and at most about twenty days, Wuhan's troops will be in a hurry!"

"Twenty days?" Chen Shi said in surprise, "Not it?"

"As for!" Bai Chong sighed sadly, "Brother Cixiu believes that Wuhan's troops can last for a month. I guess all the wounded and healed were counted, right?"

"Of course." Chen Shi nodded, "After all, our army controls the battlefield, and our wounded soldiers can be treated in time, so there is still a great chance of healing the wound."

"It's not entirely true!" Liu Sheng shook his head and said sadly, "There is a factor that you didn't consider."

"I didn't consider a factor?" Chen Shi was stunned when he heard this and said in a daze, "What factor?"

"There are probably not so many medicines in several field hospitals in the Wuhan Garrison Command!" Bai Chong said sadly, "If I guess correctly, at this time, the medicines in Wuhan will almost be lost."

"What did you say?" Chen Shi, He Yingpei and others were shocked when they heard this.

Principal Chang's face also turned dark.

...

Almost at the same time, Zhong Yi was accompanied by Zhu Liangcheng to inspect Hankou Hospital.

In order to prevent Japanese bombing, the field hospitals in the three towns of Wuhan were built in underground bunkers. Since power supply is often interrupted, the ventilation is not very good, so the smell inside the hospital is very strong!

But Zhong Yi has never seen any scenes, so he didn't feel any discomfort.

Zhong Yi just felt a little distressed, feeling sorry for these wounded people that they could not get the best treatment!

If medical conditions are put into the 21st century, more than 99% of the injured can be cured, but less than half of them can be completely cured now, and most of them must be amputated! Then they become disabled!

The main cause of amputation is infection. In this era when there are no antibiotics, wound infection is basically unsolvable!

When Zhong Yi passed the operation room, he happened to encounter a doctor performing amputation on a wounded person. Because of the scald, all parts below the knee of the injured person's left leg must be amputated.
