Zhang Shiliang also said: "Yes, even if you forge a 100,000-80,000-year-old seal, it would be useless except to spend tens of millions of yen to make the bounty of Higashikuraku Nianhiko."

Zhu Liangcheng said: "It's not."

Zhong Yi waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "But you never thought, if we really gave us a forged seal of 100,000 to 80,000 yuan, what kind of conclusion would Higashijiu Nihiko come to?"

"Conclusion?" Zhu Liangcheng said with a head over his head, "Zi Ren, are you talking about it?"

Zhang Shiliang also said: "We have about 140,000 people left now. If we send out a hundred thousand forged collar seal, Higashijiujiu Nianyan would definitely think that we only have 40,000 people left!"

Zhu Liangcheng said, "In this way, will the old Japanese think that we have no troops anymore, so they will launch a general attack on Hanyang and Hankou again, and then we can use the remaining 40,000 mines to surprise the Japanese? Ziren, is your idea like this?"

"Of course not." Zhong Yi shook his head, "Tongjiu'eri Nianyan has suffered a great loss from the general attack and has tasted the sweetness of small-scale street fighting. He will never launch another general attack easily. Even if he knows that we have no one, he will never try it easily!"

Zhu Liangcheng said: "Then how can you surprise the old devil?"

Zhong Yi said in a deep voice: "This is about the key factor I just now!"

"Yes." Zhu Liangcheng said, "Zi Ren, what are you referring to?"

Zhong Yi said: "Old Zhu, have you ever thought about it? Why did we basically compete with the Japanese in the previous battle, but yesterday it was a casualty of 1-4 or even 1-5?"

"Isn't this obvious?" Zhu Liangcheng said, "It is because the Japanese have launched high bounties! As the saying goes, there must be brave men under heavy rewards. Under the stimulation of the high bonus, the Japanese's enthusiasm for fighting has increased greatly, so this is how it is!"

"No, Lao Zhu, you are wrong." Zhong Yi said, "High bounties can indeed increase the enthusiasm of the Japanese to fight, but they cannot improve their combat skills. Therefore, according to normal logic, after the Japanese are stimulated by the bounty, the casualties of both sides will increase significantly, and the casualties of our army may increase a little, but it will never expand from one to two to one to four or even one to five at once. This is impossible!"

Zhang Shiliang said, "This is exactly what I am confused about!"

Zhu Liangcheng said: "Zi Ren, why do you think it is?"

"The reason is very simple." Zhong Yi said, "because the fighting style has changed!"

"Has the fighting style changed?" Zhu Liangcheng said blankly, "What does it mean?"

Zhong Yi said: "It is also street fighting, but according to the different forces invested, it is divided into large-scale street fighting and small-scale street fighting. In the previous battles, the Japanese had at least one infantry squadron in each local battlefield, and sometimes even a whole infantry brigade is invested. This is a typical large-scale street fighting!"

He paused and said, "But yesterday, the Japanese invested only one team at most in each local battlefield, and there were many local battlefields and even only one infantry group. This is a typical small-scale street battle!"

Zhu Liangcheng said: "Is there any difference between these two?"

"Of course there is." Zhong Yi said, "Large-scale street fighting pays more attention to team cooperation and the use of terrain. We actually have advantages in this regard, because we are in home field combat, are more familiar with terrain, can also use tunnels to allocate troops, and even use tactics to make up for the lack of combat effectiveness, so we can achieve a one-to-two casualties ratio!"

"It makes sense." Zhu Liangcheng nodded and asked again, "So what's the difference between small-scale street fighting?"

Zhong Yi sighed lightly and continued: "Small-scale street fighting, because the two sides don't invest much troops and move more flexiblely, the terrain advantage is gone. Moreover, due to the scattered and messy battlefields, there is no way to make up for the combat effectiveness gap between the two sides through tactics, so they have to rely more on the individual combat effectiveness of the officers and soldiers on both sides!"

"But the Japanese have obvious advantages in individual combat effectiveness!" Zhang Shiliang said, "So, in the street fighting during the day and evening yesterday, casualties expanded to one to four or even one to five!"

"That's right!" Zhong Yi said, "The individual Japanese soldiers are generally stronger than our army and have better training, so if we simply compete for individual combat effectiveness, our army is no match for us! In addition, Higashinomiya Nihiko happened to launch a high bounty, which caused our army to suffer huge casualties during the day and at night yesterday!"

Zhu Liangcheng frowned and said, "Zi Ren, is this the key factor you mentioned?"

"Of course not." Zhong Yi shook his head and said, "Old Zhu, have you noticed that the small-scale street fighting today is very similar to a common fighting method?"

Zhu Liangcheng nodded and said, "Hand-hand combat!"

"Yes, hand-to-hand combat!" Zhong Yi said, "This kind of small-scale street combat is essentially a simple superposition of small hand-to-hand combat after another! There is neither tactics nor any offense or defense conversion. In such a battle, any clever tactics are redundant. The only thing both sides can rely on is individual combat power!"

Zhu Liangcheng said: "But we suffer a lot in this way of fighting!"

After pausing, Zhu Liangcheng said again: "As Zi Ren, you said just now, the individual Japanese soldiers are generally strong and they should be better trained than our officers and soldiers. This has been fully reflected in the countless hand-to-hand combat in each frontal battlefield. In hand-to-hand combat, a Japanese can basically defeat five national troops!"

Zhong Yi said: "It depends on what kind of national army it is!"

After pausing, Zhong Yi said again: "If the veterans who survived the Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Nanjing, can the Japanese still achieve a casualty ratio of 1 to 5 in hand-to-hand combat?"

"That's definitely not possible!" Zhu Liangcheng said, "If the Japanese faced the veterans of the Hundred Wars who survived the Battle of Songhu and Nanjing, I said that the casualties of one to one are all polite! More likely, the casualties of two to one or even three to one are the casualties of two to one. These veterans of our army are not vegetarians!"

"This is exactly the key factor I'm talking about!" Zhong Yi said in a deep voice, "That's, veteran!"

After pausing, Zhong Yi said again: "Old Zhu, you probably discovered that yesterday and night, and even in previous battles, the most sacrificed were the new soldiers who had just joined the army. The former 367th Regiment and veterans who recovered from the Huangpi Shelter Station had almost no casualties, right?"
