At around four o'clock in the morning, the Japanese who had harassed for most of the night finally withdrew their troops.

At around six o'clock in the morning, Zhong Yi crossed the river again to the Five Prison Palace.

As soon as he entered the command department, Zhong Yi asked Zhu Liangcheng directly: "Old Zhu, how many casualties were last night?"

Zhu Liangcheng said in a deep voice: "Last night, our three brigades killed more than 1,000 people and seriously injured more than 500 people!"

This is the cruelty of street fighting, or the cruelty of hand-to-hand combat. In street fighting or hand-to-hand combat, the number of casualties is usually far greater than the number of wounded!

"More than 1,500 casualties!" Zhong Yi was shocked when he heard this.

Zhu Liangcheng said: "Zi Ren, what's the situation in Hanyang?"

"Better than you." Zhong Yi said, "The Hanyang battlefield lost more than 2,500 brothers last night!"

"My God!" Zhu Liangcheng yelled softly and said, "Doesn't this mean we lost more than 4,000 brothers last night? If it was the casualties in the daytime yesterday, it would be more than 10,000 people!"

Zhang Shiliang said: "More than 10,000 casualties a day, and there will be no one in our Wuhan garrison in half a month!"

Zhong Yi waved his hand and said, "By the way, Lao Zhu, how many Japanese did you kill last night?"

"Kill almost 400 Japanese devils." Zhu Liangcheng said this and said, "How many people have killed in Hanyang?"

"Hanyang's losses are slightly greater than you, but the results are also slightly greater. They killed more than 600 Japanese devils!" Zhong Yi said this and said, "I killed more than 1,000 Japanese devils last night!"

Zhang Shiliang said: "That is to say, it was one to four last night!"

Zhu Liangcheng said: "Last night, because it was dark, the Japanese could not find and take away the bodies of the dead, so the casualties were more credible. This also proves that Zi Ren's previous judgment was not wrong. The actual casualties during the day yesterday should be one to five, not one to ten!"

Zhang Shiliang said again: "But even if it is one to five, it won't work!"

"Yes." Zhu Liangcheng nodded and sighed, "Even if it is 1 to 5, or even 1 to 4, it is not possible, because according to such casualties, we can defeat the Japanese at most less than 40,000 Japanese troops, which is far from enough to injure the second army of Dongjiugu Niyan, and the counterattack of the main force in the fifth zone has no chance of winning!"

"No!" Zhong Yi said, "The final casualties ratio will never be one to four, and it is even more impossible to be one to five! Because there is another very important factor that you have not considered!"

Speaking of this, Zhong Yi turned his gaze to the north and said, "It's not only you, but even Higashinomiya Hiroshi and Yoshio Shinozuka must not have considered this factor!"

"Is that true?" Zhu Liangcheng said, "What factors?"

Zhong Yi changed the subject, but said, "You will know then!"

"Okay." Zhu Liangcheng spread his hands and said, "Zi Ren, there is still a situation."

Zhong Yi said: "What's the situation?"

Zhu Liangcheng asked the guard to get a shoulder bag.

Zhong Yi took the bag, reached out to take it inside, and took out a handful of seals.

"Old Zhu, what's going on?" Zhong Yi looked at Zhu Liangcheng with some confusion.

Zhu Liangcheng said: "Zi Ren, these collar seals were found by a sniper from the Japanese's bag. You said it was strange. What did the Japanese collect our collar seals for?"

Zhang Shiliang said: "This is not simple, it must be used to count the results of the battle!"

"That's true." Zhu Liangcheng said, "After all, the Japanese devil, Nianyan, had to pay real money and silver. He couldn't rely on his subordinate devils to say whatever they said, and he had to have a reasonable credential."

When Zhong Yi heard this, his heart moved and he seemed to have found something vaguely.

But after thinking about it carefully, my mind was filled with mucus and I couldn't catch anything.

...

At the same time, it was at the headquarters of the Second Japanese Army.

Higashijiugu Nihiko only slept for less than two hours before getting up again.

As soon as he got up, Higashiramiya Naihiko asked the adjutant to call Machijiri Ryoki over.

Machijiri Ryoki didn't sleep all night, and walked into the big tent with two scarlet eyes open, and said, "Your Highness!"

Higakurimiya Naihiko waved her hand and asked straightforwardly: "Machijiri, how was the battle last night?"

"Hayi!" Machijiri Ryoki paused and replied, "Last night, the fierce battles were fought, and the total number of more than 1,300 imperial soldiers were killed in each division, and the Chinese army killed was nearly 4,000!"

"Is it really a one-to-three casualties?" said Nianhiko Higashinomiya.

"Hayi!" Machijiri Lyoki said, "It's exactly the same as your highness's expectations!"

"Yo Xi!" Higashikuaguri Naihiko said happily, "This casualty ratio is acceptable, continue today!"

"Hayi!" Machijiri Ryoki paused and said, "But your Highness, a considerable number of imperial soldiers died under the counterattack of the Chinese army last night, so can we consider dispatching a small number of chariots?"

"Yes." Higashinomiya Nianhiko said happily, "You can do it."

"Hayi!" Machijiri Oki paused again and went there excitedly.

...

At this time, in the Five Prison Palace.

Zhong Yi was so anxious that he sweated out because he couldn't grasp the key points!

Zhu Liangcheng noticed Zhong Yi's strangeness and asked in surprise: "Zi Ren, what's wrong with you?"

"Don't worry about me, you don't worry about me!" Zhong Yi suddenly raised his hand and interrupted Zhu Liangcheng.

Zhu Liangcheng couldn't help but look at Zhang Shiliang, both of them looked confused.

At this moment, Xiaofan suddenly came in and said to Zhong Yi: "Seat, I should take you to the dock."

"Send it? Deliver it?!" A sudden lightning flashed in Zhong Yi's mind, and the original chaotic thoughts suddenly became clear. Xiaofan said with a slap, "Xiaofan, thank you for your reminder!"

"Ah? Thank you for reminding me?" Xiaofan said with a confused face, "What did I remind me?"

Zhu Liangcheng and Zhang Shiliang looked at each other next to each other, not knowing what Zhong Yi was saying.

Zhong Yi picked up the stack of collar seals again and said to Zhu Liangcheng: "Old Zhu, we may be able to use this collar seal as an article to give Dongjiuer Palace Nianyan a big surprise!"

"Take a seal to make an article?" Zhu Liangcheng was confused, "Say a surprise to Higashijiugu Nihiko?"

Zhang Shiliang's heart moved and said anxiously: "Seat, why don't you want to forge a batch of seals and spread them on the battlefield and let the Japanese pick them up and take the prize back and get the prize?"

"What's the use of this?" Zhu Liangcheng frowned, "What's more, with my understanding of the Japanese, they may not be able to pick it up!"

"Old Zhu is right. He just throws it on the battlefield. The Japanese will definitely not pick it up!" Zhong Yi nodded and said, "So I have to think of a way to give these seals to the Japanese!"
