Half an hour later, I observed the post at the Yuwang Palace in Guishan.

Although the Japanese army did not attack Guishan after crossing the Han River west, but only targeted the attacking target at the city of Hanyang, Zhong Yi did not dare to be careless.

Because Zhong Yi knew very well that Guishan was the most solid barrier in Hanyang!

Once Guishan is lost, the Japanese army can set up cannons on Guishan and implement precise designated clearances on Hanyang, Hankou and even Wuchang city from a high place. That will be a big trouble!

Therefore, in addition to sending the 3rd Security Brigade to guard Guishan, Zhong Yi also came to inspect every now and then.

Today, Zhong Yi came to Guishan again. After the inspection, he followed Pan Zihe to the Observation Office of the Yu Palace!

Pan Zihe held up a telescope and observed the Japanese military camp in the north of Hanyang City, while asking Zhong Yi: "Zi Ren, I heard that the enemy and our casualties were one-to-one in the street fighting yesterday?"

"Yes." Zhong Yi nodded and said, "During yesterday's street battle, more than 3,000 Japanese kills were killed, and our own casualties were about 3,000, which is one to one!"

Pan Zihe subconsciously asked, "Then, how many people are left now?"

To this day, it is already highly confidential that there are still many people left in the ten brigades in the Wuhan Garrison District!

Although Pan Zihe is the commander of the 3rd Security Brigade, he doesn’t know how many people there are left in the entire garrison. The only thing he can be sure of now is that there are 2,000 people left in the 3rd Security Brigade!

In the past half month, Zhong Yi drew personnel from the 3rd Guard Brigade many times.

To this day, the 3rd Guard Brigade has dropped sharply from 8,000 to 2,000.

Zhong Yi turned around and glanced at Pan Zihe and asked, "How many people do you think can be left?"

The plan to use the seal to deceive the Japanese army is highly confidential. Except for Feng Yuxiang and Zhong Yi, only Zhu Liangcheng and Sun Liren are aware of it!

Zhong Yi didn't believe Pan Zihe and several brigade commanders.

But because the fewer people know about it, the smaller the possibility of the plan being leaked!

In order to win the Wuhan defense battle, Zhong Yi must do the confidentiality work to the extreme!

Pan Zihe showed a slightly embarrassed look on his face and said, "When I didn't say anything!"

Zhong Yi patted Pan and his shoulders and said, "Old Pan, you just need to guard Guishan well!"

"I understand!" Pan Zihe said, "Zi Ren, don't worry, Guishan will definitely not have any problems!"

At this moment, Zhang Shiliang, who was observing the movements of the Japanese military camp through the artillery mirror, suddenly screamed: "Sheng, there is something happening over the Japanese!"

Zhong Yi and Pan Zihe quickly raised their telescopes to look at them, and they saw teams of Japanese soldiers coming out of the military camp.

Conservatively estimated that the Japanese soldiers who rushed out of the barracks had at least two regiments of more than 6,000 people. Then, the two saw another war defense cannon being pulled out!

Then there are tanks!

Seeing this, Pan Zihe's face changed!

Because in the past half month, the Japanese on the Hanyang battlefield only dispatched at most one infantry brigade for each attack!

Moreover, the frequency of attacks is basically fixed, basically one in the morning, one in the afternoon, and one in the evening!

Even the casualties were almost the same. Each group basically had more than a thousand people when they came, and five or six hundred people were left when they returned, and the casualties were about 50%!

Street fighting is so cruel!

Of course, the national army suffered greater casualties!

But today, the Japanese were abnormal, dispatching an infantry corps at a time, and at least one combat artillery squadron and a chariot squadron to cooperate in combat!

This intensity is much greater than half a month ago!

Before it was over, after the Japanese infantry entered the buffer zone north of Hanyang City, the Japanese artillery group that had been silent for nearly half a month also began to bombard, pouring rows of shells into the blocks controlled by the Kuomintang!

In an instant, smoke and dust rose in Hanyang city under the control of the Kuomintang!

Almost at the same time, the Japanese army in Hankou also began large-scale artillery attacks!

Looking back at the east, I saw smoke and dust rising in Hankou city!

Pan Zihe said: "Zi Ren, it seems that the Japanese are preparing for the general attack!"

"As expected!" Zhong Yi curled his lips slightly and said, "After all, it has been almost half a month since we have been in use. There are not many people left left. It's almost time for the Japanese to launch a general attack!"

Pan Zihe said: "The general attack of the Japanese is about to be imminent, and the defensive pressure in Hanyang City will definitely increase greatly. Otherwise, if this happens, one thousand people will be drawn from my 3rd Guard Brigade?"

Zhong Yi shook his head and said, "No need!"

I won’t say much more when I say anything about Pan Zihe.

...

Meanwhile, on Fenghe Mountain.

Higakurimiya Naihiko once again took Machijiri Ryoki to the Toyohe Mountain Observation Center.

Standing on Fenghe Mountain and looking down, you can clearly see the artillery attacks of two Japanese field heavy artillery brigades and six artillery corpses at Hanyang and Hankou!

But I saw that Hanyang, under the control of the national army, shining bright red lights bloomed from time to time, and the smoke and dust that swelled up quickly covered the sky!

The telescope's vision moves northward, and it is a block under the control of the Japanese army!

Compared with the artillery fire in the area controlled by the Kuomintang army, the area controlled by the Japanese army is in a state of chaos!

In the streets and alleys of the Japanese-controlled area, we were quietly waiting for tens of thousands of Japanese infantry, hundreds of chariot defense cannons, as well as various types of tanks and tanks!

This time, Higashijiugu Nihiko really planned to do his best in one battle!

The battle to capture Wuhan has been delayed to this day, and it has been almost two months, and it is time to end!

Putting down the telescope, Higashikuramiya Nianhiko said: "Minijiri, do you think you can take Hankou and Hanyang today?"

"Hayi!" Machijiri Ryoki followed him and said, "Theoretically, there should be no problem. After all, the entire Chinese army in Wuhan was less than 10,000 at this time, and it had to be distributed to guard Wuchang and Guishan positions. Therefore, the maximum number of troops left to Hanyang and Hankou was only 3,000!"

After pausing, Machijiri Yoshiki said again: "It is less than 3,000 troops, but it needs to face the coordinated operations of the two imperial army units, plus a combat artillery squadron and a chariot gang. I really can't think of what else can the Chinese army rely on to defend Hankou and Hanyang?"

"Yo Xi!" Higashikuramiya Nianhiko nodded happily.

"But." Machijiri Yoshiki said again, "I always feel that things may not be that simple! Because our opponent is Zhong Yi, this guy always makes unexpected moves at critical moments, so if there is an accident again this time, your highness doesn't have to be too surprised!"

When Higakurimiya Nianhiko heard this, his eyes were slightly sunk and said, "Mr. Machijiri, then in your opinion, what kind of accident did Zhong Yi create this time? Om?"
Chapter completed!
