Chapter 611 Victory in sight? (Today
North of Hanyang City, Taojiaxiang battlefield.
The second male Hasegawa, holding a 38-modified rifle equipped with a scope, followed behind Shun Nakamura, and was running forward from the roof of the house on the right side of Taojia Lane.
In front of the two were more than fifty infantrymen from the Yamakami Kei-you team.
When I looked down on the street, I saw more than 180 imperial soldiers from the Rice Field Squadron!
In front of the Raising Field Squadron is a squad of the 2nd Squadron of the Tank, three Type 95 light tanks and two imitation Vix armored vehicles!
In addition, there is a war artillery team!
Looking at the surging crowds moving forward on the street below and on the roofs of the houses on both sides, Hasegawa Shinobu couldn't help but say to Nakamura Shun: "Nakamura, after we have deployed such a large battle this time, the Chinese army must be over!"
"Not necessarily!" Nakamura Shun shook his head when he heard this and said in a deep voice, "Hasebe, be smarter later!"
"Hmm?" Hasegawa Shin-noon looked at the words and said in a low voice, "Nakamura, do you think the Imperial Army's attack will also fail?"
Shun Nakamura said: "No one knows what the result will be until the last moment."
Before he finished speaking, a loud bang suddenly came from Fengshan Street below.
Looking closely, the two of them saw a huge mass of smoke and dust rising in the middle of the street, swallowing up all three tanks responsible for guiding the infantry in front.
Not only that, the air waves caused by the explosion even overturned the two imitation Vicks armored vehicles that followed behind!
Looking at the two armored vehicles facing the sky, Hasegawa's second son paused, and his face couldn't help but look horrified.
Shin-ku Nakamura said sternly: "Damn it, it's another Chinese mine, a mine modified from a 155mm caliber shell!"
As soon as they finished speaking, a house not far ahead of them exploded violently. Countless rubble, rafters and gravel and broken bricks sputtered everywhere. The squad on the mountain that had just walked to the house was also severely damaged. At least a dozen infantry soldiers of an infantry squad were swallowed in an instant, and at least a dozen infantry were knocked down from the roof by shock waves.
This is not over yet. The rubble and gravel and broken bricks that splashed and fell all over the sky also caused serious damage to the infantry on the street. At least twenty infantrymen screamed and fell in a pool of blood!
Yagayaru! Shun Nakamura immediately cursed word by word.
The two sides have not even really fought, and the Japanese army has suffered heavy damage just by relying on two landmines! It seems that today's general attack will never be easy!
...
On Fenghe Mountain, Japanese Army Observatory.
Since Guishan blocked his view, Hanyang could not be seen from Fenghe Mountain, but Hankou could be seen very clearly!
When he saw the sudden burst of huge smoke and dust in the area controlled by the Kuomintang in Hankou City, Higakuremiya Naihiko and Machijiri Ryoki's faces became solemn!
Because from the explosion of smoke and dust, it is clear that this is definitely not caused by the Japanese war defense artillery or tank main artillery. Obviously, this should be caused by the mine explosion modified from 155mm caliber shells of the Chinese army! The Chinese used this terrible mine again!
"Baga!" Higakuri Miyaki Nianyan cursed, his face becoming a little embarrassed.
Machijiri Ryoki said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, although the mines converted from 155mm caliber shells are extremely lethal, it would be too naive if the Chinese army thought that it could stop the Imperial Army's general attack with a few mines!"
Higakurimiya Nianyan nodded silently, but the expression on her face was no longer as relaxed as before.
Higashijiugu Niyan felt that there would probably be a fierce battle to occupy Hankou and Hanyang!
However, the subsequent changes in the battle situation were completely beyond Higashinomiya Naihiko's expectations, and it was surprisingly smooth!
Except for the beginning, the Chinese army used large-caliber shells to modify mines to destroy a considerable number of guidance tanks and killed a considerable number of infantry soldiers, no decent resistance was organized.
Whether in the Hankou battlefield or the Hanyang battlefield, it is no exaggeration to describe the Japanese offensive as unstoppable!
Less than two hours after the attack was launched, the 13th Division and the two infantry regiments of the 116th Division had already attacked from the left and right wings to the center of Hankou, compressing the Chinese defenders into a narrow area less than 500 meters!
Almost at the same time, the 10th Division and the two infantry regiments of the 16th Division also occupied most of Hanyang, driving the Chinese defenders of Hanyang to a small area in the south!
After receiving the report, Machijiri Ryoki immediately became excited.
"Your Highness!" Machijiri Ryoki said excitedly, "The disadvantage of the exhaustion of the Chinese army has been completely exposed. They are no longer able to continue to defend the urban areas of Hankou and Hanyang. Judging from the current situation, at most half an hour, that is, before twelve o'clock in the afternoon, you can completely occupy Hanyang and Hankou!"
He paused and said, "Your Highness, victory is in sight!"
Higashikuramiya Nianhiko nodded happily: "Yo Xi!"
...
At this time, in Taibai Lane, Hanyang.
Hasegawa Ninoya followed Nakamura Shun and had already climbed to the top of the main hall of Wenchang Pavilion on the right side of Taibai Lane.
The location of Wenchang Pavilion is less than 500 meters away from the original Old South Gate of Hanyang City, which also means that most of Hanyang has fallen into the hands of the Japanese army!
Hasegawa's second male aimed at a Chinese machine gunner who was firing violently at the intersection in front of the street, and then gently pulled the trigger.
With a gunshot, the Chinese machine gunner immediately threw himself on the sandbag, and the Tingmin-24 heavy machine gun that was still firing violently just now was immediately silent!
The firepower of the heavy machine gun was silenced, and the Japanese troops, who were originally suppressed on both sides of the street, immediately rushed forward and quickly broke through another line of defense of the Chinese army!
At this point, the entire Taibai Lane fell into the control of the Japanese army!
The South Gate of Hanyang is less than 400 meters away from the Japanese army, which is a short distance away!
The second male Hasebe pulled the bolt and pulled out the hot shell. He said to Shun Nakamura: "Nakamura, the south gate of Hanyang is not far ahead. The Chinese army is about to be expelled from Hanyang by us. We are in sight!"
"Is victory really in sight?" Shun Nakamura murmured, but a sense of uneasiness surged in his heart.
I don’t know why, the closer I get to the South Gate of Hanyang and the closer I get to the victory, the more uneasy Shun Nakamura becomes!
But Hasegawa's second son didn't know Shun Nakamura's concerns, so he immediately stood up and said, "Nakamura, the team on the mountain has advanced to a hundred meters away, so we should continue to follow up!"
Shun Nakamura nodded and silently got up from the roof of the hall.
But at this moment, Nakamura Shun suddenly felt the Wenchang Pavilion Hall under her feet shaking violently!
Chapter completed!
