Chapter 614
Machijiri Ryoki said: "This means that the Chinese army will never have only 8,000 people!"
"Suoga!" said Nianyan of Dongjiugu. "If the Chinese army really has only 8,000 people left, then if the troops left behind in Wuchang and Guishan will be removed, there will be at most 6,000 people left. If it is divided into Hankou and Hanyang, there will be less than 3,000 defenders in each city. Even if mines are helped, how can it be possible to stop the two infantry regiments of the Imperial Army?"
After a pause, Higakuru Miyasu Nianhiko said, "So, there must be something wrong in the middle!"
Machijiri Haruki said sternly: "Your Highness said that our previous information was wrong. The actual strength of the Chinese army was more than 150,000, so now, there are more than 8,000 defenders in the three towns of Wuhan?"
Higakurimiya Nianhiko said: "Please check it out by the Ministry of Internal Affairs!"
"Hayi!" said Machijirikikidun for the first time, "I will call the Ministry of Internal Affairs!"
Higakuremiya Nianhiko said again: "In addition, we have telegraphed the four divisions that the large-scale general attack will be stopped for the time being, but a small-scale harassing attack like before cannot be stopped!"
"Hayi!" Machijiri Yoshiki paused his head again.
...
In Wuchang, the police corps headquarters.
Just a plate of peanuts, Zhou Tuizi was drinking.
Nowadays, the supply of materials in the three towns of Wuhan is very tight. Almost all liquor is requisitioned by the hospital and used as medical alcohol. This bottle of liquor from Zhou Tuizi was also used from the hospital.
For this small plate of peanuts, Zhou Tuizi himself fried it.
The reason why Zhou Tuizi was drunk was because he was in a bad mood.
Having said that, it is understandable that Zhou Erzi is in a bad mood.
Because although his police corps is nominally one of the ten brigades guarding Wuhan, it is only a nominal brigade. As the actual commander of the Wuhan garrison, Zhong Yi never regarded the police corps as a real infantry brigade, which can be seen from the allocation of combat missions.
At the beginning, the police corps' mission was to guard the core area of Hankou.
On the surface, I value the Police Corps, but in fact I don’t believe in the combat effectiveness of the Police Corps.
Because the fortifications in the Hankou Defense Zone are relatively complete, their police corps are placed in Hankou, and they are also placed in the middle of the three brigades of the 367th Brigade, the Guard Brigade and the Special Brigade!
But later, after the fortress of Hankou Railway Station was destroyed by the Japanese army, Zhong Yi immediately transferred the police corps to Wuchang, which clearly showed that he did not believe in the combat effectiveness of the police corps and asked them to stand aside.
Later on, it became even more excessive and he actually started to transfer people from the police corps!
Up to now, the police corps have been transferred by Zhong Yi to only two thousand people!
Zhou Tuizi was very worried that in a few days, he would become a captain of the bare captain!
Just as he was drinking, a young man with a scattered air and wearing a big cap came in, and said to Zhou Erzi with a saliva face: "Brother-in-law, are you drinking alone?"
Zhou Tuizi frowned suddenly.
Because the young man who came in was the younger brother of his newly married concubine at the beginning of this year, and was named Wang Gui.
After marrying this concubine, Zhou Erzi put Wang Gui in the police corps on duty, but this kid was not good at doing anything but causing trouble every day.
Zhou Erzi disliked this brother-in-law very much.
Wang Gui walked to the table and sat down on his own, reaching out to pour wine for himself.
Zhou Erzi grabbed the wine bottle and said angrily: "You can open it for me!"
"Brother-in-law, what are you doing?" Wang Gui said with a smile, "It's so boring to drink alone."
"Go roll, go as far as you can." Zhou Erzi said, "Don't fucking wandering in front of my eyes, I'm annoyed when I see you!"
Wang Gui also pulled his face down when he heard this and said sinisterly: "Brother-in-law, you don't plan to give me any face. Not to mention that I am your brother-in-law, you shouldn't treat me like this based on the things we did together! If you really get angry with me, at worst, everyone can play together. Don't think I don't have the courage!"
"What did we do together?" Zhou Erzi said with a confused look on his face, "What are we doing together?"
Wang Gui shouted: "Of course, we are selling intelligence to the Imperial Army together to help the Imperial Army deal with the national army!"
"Bang!" Zhou Erzi's wine bottle fell to the ground in his hand, and his face changed suddenly, and he said sternly, "Wang Gui, you bastard, don't talk nonsense. When will I sell information to the emperor with you... Uh no, when will I sell information to the Japanese? You can eat food, but you can't talk nonsense!"
"Brother-in-law, it's boring to say this." Wang Gui smiled sinisterly, "You forgot that more than half a month ago, after the Imperial Army suffered a great loss from the landmines of the National Army, you asked me to tell the Imperial Army about the National Army's 155mm caliber shells to modify landmines, and asked me to tell the Imperial Army that there are more than 100,000 landmines like this!"
"You?!" Zhou Erzi's face changed drastically when he heard this.
Wang Gui smiled silly and said, "You forgot again, three months ago, you asked me to pick up the special attack team sent by the Imperial Japanese Ministry of Internal Affairs into the city? Unfortunately, this special attack team met a powerful opponent, and the special combat brigade of the 367th Brigade cooperated with the operation team of the Military Control Commission Wuhan Station to take it away!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Erzi's face turned pale.
It was not until this time that Zhou Erzi discovered that he had already been deeply trapped in the mud.
Wang Gui continued, "Brother-in-law, are you still thinking of reporting me and redeeming me for your sins?"
Speaking of this, Wang Gui said, "I tell you, this is useless. Brother-in-law, all the things you do are death sentences. It is not enough to atone for me to be a pawn like this!"
Zhou Erzi fell back on the chair in a depressed state and asked, "Wang Gui, what do you want to do?"
"What do I want to do? It's very simple!" Wang Gui finally found a dagger and said in a deep voice, "Tell me, how many troops are left in the Wuhan garrison area now?"
Zhou Erzi asked in a stern voice: "Divine God asked you to ask?"
"Brother-in-law, it's the Imperial Army!" Wang Gui corrected, "The Imperial Army asked."
"Okay." Zhou Erzi nodded and said, "Then I tell you, I don't know how many troops there are left in the Wuhan Garrison District, but I can only tell you that there are only two thousand people left in my police corps!"
"I don't even know?" Wang Gui didn't doubt Zhou Erzi and frowned, "You can't ask someone?"
"How do you know I didn't ask?" Zhou Erzi said angrily, "I asked, but I asked Feng Yuxiang, the commander-in-chief of Wuhan Garrison District, but he didn't know either!"
