After saying this, Zhong Yi made a gap outside Xiaogan, blocking dozens of small red flags representing the national army, tank molds representing Du Yuming's 200th Division, and artillery molds representing the artillery regiment!

Pan Zihe said: "Zi Ren, you are a little tricky. The Japanese army who stayed in Xiaogan may not be able to repair fortifications!"

"That only means that you don't know enough about the Japanese!" Zhong Yi said, "In fact, the 1st Special Operations Squadron of the 367th Brigade had already conducted a survey of Xiaogan. It turned out that the Japanese infantry brigade stationed in Xiaogan not only relied on the Fucheng River, but also built a circular fortification in Bailongtan on the southeastern suburbs, but the fortification specifications were not low!"

Sun Liren said: "If you practice, just practice. It's just a day or two more delay, and you won't be able to make a mistake!"

"Brother Fumin, are you so confident?" Zhong Yi said, "Okay, then let's start."

"I'll come first, after all, I'm the attacking side!" Sun Liren rubbed his hands and said, "I'll use the artillery regiment first to carry out fire shooting at the airport in the northern suburbs of Xiaogan. Even if all the planes parked at Xiaogan Airport cannot be destroyed, at least half of them can be destroyed, and the airport runway will definitely be seriously damaged. Don't think of taking off and landing the plane within three days!"

After saying that, Sun Liren took away the model of the plane on the sand table.

"Not necessarily!" Zhong Yi said, "I will send reconnaissance planes to reconnaissance the highway and railways in advance. Once artillery soldiers maneuvering along the highway or railways are found, bombers will be dispatched from the airport to intercept them immediately! In addition, I will also order the engineers to blow up all the railways and highway bridges from Hankou to Xiaogan."

Sun Liren said: "The Japanese may not be able to think of this."

"I'm sorry, the Japanese have already thought of it." Zhong Yi shrugged, "The Special Operations 2 Squadron reported that the Japanese engineers had blown up all railway and highway bridges north of Hankou, and even the wooden bridges on the small river were not spared!"

After saying this, Zhong Yi continued: "So, although it is less than fifty kilometers away from Hankou to Xiaogan, it takes at least five days for your artillery regiment to arrive! So within five days, there will be no safety problems with my airport and the planes parked at the airport."

Sun Liren could only put the plane model back into its original position with a bitter face.

Chen Jing'an said: "There are no artillerymen without artillery, at least we have an armored division!"

After saying this, Chen Jingan picked up the tank model and pushed it to the south bank of Fucheng River, and said in a deep voice: "In one day, our armored division can push the south bank of Fucheng River!"

"No, no, no, Lao Chen, you are too optimistic!" Zhong Yi shook his head, "The short-distance maneuver of the armored division will indeed not be restricted by roads and railways, but dense rivers and lakes will still cause serious hysteresis to it. Unfortunately, Xiaogan happens to be surrounded by dense rivers and lakes!"

After pausing, Zhong Yi said again: "So, it will take at least two days for your armored division to be able to maneuver from Hankou to the south bank of the Fucheng River!"

Speaking of this, Zhong Yi moved the tank on the sand table back half the distance.

"Two days are just two days, it's no big deal!" Liu Futing said, "We will never leave you idle in the past two days! We will organize at least ten divisions and launch an attack from ten directions at the same time!"

"Ten divisions? There are quite a few." Zhong Yi curled his lips and said, "It's a pity that both the four divisions in the Ninth War Zone and the thirty divisions in the Fifth War Zone have suffered heavy losses in the previous battle with the Japanese army. They not only lost a large number of personnel, but also a large amount of equipment, so the combat effectiveness of the troops has become even weaker!"

After pausing, Zhong Yi said again: "With the current combat effectiveness of the Second Japanese Army, half of the division should have no objection to withstand the attack of our three to five divisions, right?"

Sun Liren and others were silent when they heard this.

Half of the Japanese division withstood the attack of three to five divisions of the National Army, of course there is no objection.

Although the Second Japanese Army suffered heavy casualties in the Battle of Wuhan, their combat effectiveness was still far superior to that of the National Army. Zhong Yi judged that half of the Japanese divisions had already been considered to be highly regarded by the National Army!

Because in actual combat, the six to ten divisions of the Chinese army have never defeated any Japanese division, but they are often defeated by a Japanese division in turn!

The most exaggerated thing is the Battle of Xinkou, where half of Sakagaki Seishiro defeated more than 30 divisions of the National Army!

Seeing that no one objected, Zhong Yi continued, "So within two days, don't try to break through the outer defense line!"

Sun Liren cheered up and said, "But in two days, our armored division will arrive and launch a raid from your Japanese united forces!"

Chen Jingan continued: "With the powerful penetration capability of the tank cluster, there should be no problem breaking through your Japanese army's peripheral defense line overnight!"

Liu Futing also said: "This is for sure! After all, your Japanese planes cannot be launched into the air at night!"

"Yes, the Japanese planes really cannot take off at night to fight." Zhong Yi nodded and said, "So, it is inevitable that the outer defense line will be broken, but..."

Speaking of this, he deliberately paused, Zhong Yi said again: "But with these precious two days, the remaining two divisions of the Japanese army have built a large number of fortifications in Xiaogan County and built a large number of side-fire firepower points. To put it simply, the Second Army has prepared for street fighting!"

When Sun Liren and others heard this, their expressions suddenly became shaking.

After experiencing the cruel battle of Wuhan, Sun Liren and others have already gained a new understanding of the cruelty of street fighting. They are very clear about how difficult and cruel street fighting is!

If the Japanese Second Army is really prepared, then let alone seven days, it may not be able to be captured even in seven days, and even if it increases troops, it is useless, because this is not a problem of more soldiers and fewer soldiers!

After a while, Pan Zihe said with a gloomy face: "Doesn't this mean we have no chance of winning?"

"That's not the case!" Zhong Yi waved his hand and said, "If all the troops participating in the war can work together and not be afraid of sacrifice, if the top leaders of the National Army do not act cleverly and do not take the opportunity to reject dissidents, they still have a great chance of winning!"

After a moment of pause, Zhong Yi said again: "Simply put, we must do two things well. First, the troops who arrived at the battlefield of Xiaogan, whether the Central Army, the Northwest Army or the Gui and Sichuan Army must launch an attack on the Japanese army as soon as possible, and it must be a comprehensive general attack from the beginning. We must not give the Japanese a chance to breathe!"
