That may not be true." Zhong Yi said, "Maybe it still has time."

"What did you say?" Yu Liangzhen thought he had heard it wrong and said in surprise, "Maybe it still has time?"

All signs indicate that the 13th Army of the Japanese invaders has been prepared, and even the Japanese local guard division has been transferred to Shanghai. How could it be possible to wait for another three months before launching an attack?

"Yes, maybe it's really too late." Zhong Yi nodded, "The Japanese suffered a great loss in the first Zhejiang-Fujian Battle, so I dare to assert that they will not repeat the same mistake this time, and will concentrate their full strength to launch a fierce attack on Yinjiang, and the main attack direction is waterway!"

"Shuilu?" Yu Liangzhen said, "What do you mean is Zhaobaoshan Fortress and Jinjishan Fortress?"

"Yes." Zhong Yi nodded, "If nothing unexpected happens, the Japanese will definitely try to open the gap from Zhaobaoshan and Jinjishan two fortresses, and then go straight to Sanjiangkou from the waterway."

Hearing this, Yu Liangzhen's brows frowned.

Before this, Yu Liangzhen didn't think that before the Japanese used Zhaobaoshan and Jinjishan Fortress as a breakthrough, but now the Japanese really used Zhaobaoshan and Jinjishan as a breakthrough, and he was unsure again.

At that moment, Yu Liangzhen said worriedly: "Ziren, Zhaobaoshan, Jinjishan Fortress will not be a problem?"

"Don't worry, there will be no problem," Zhong Yi said flatly, "Even if Zhaobaoshan and Jinjishan are not solid, they will not be so easy to take down. If the Japanese did not die hundreds of thousands of people before these two fortresses, it would be impossible to take down, but I think the Japanese do not have such great determination."

If hundreds of thousands of people die, then the second place is Lushun Fortress.

But Japan is now incomparable to Japan during the Russo-Japanese War. With the advancement of technical equipment, the Japanese army's ability to withstand the cost of casualties is also declining.

If you really want to recruit Baoshan and hundreds of thousands of people die in Jinjishan Fortress, it is estimated that the chief of staff of the Japanese army, the minister of the army, and the commander-in-chief of the Japanese invading China will have to change a group of people. The new commander of the 13th Army, Okamura Yasuji, is afraid he will have to apologize!

The Japanese invading China could not bear such a heavy price, so Zhaobaoshan and Jinjishan Fortress were safe.

Yu Liangzhen was still a little worried and frowned and said, "Zi Ren, how did the Guishan and Snake Mountain Fortress in Wuhan be blown up by the Japanese?"

Zhong Yi said: "Don't worry, Zhaobaoshan, Jinjishan Fortress, Guishan and Snakeshan Fortress are completely different."

After a pause, Zhong Yi continued: "First of all, the construction specifications of Zhaobaoshan and Jinjishan Fortress are far higher than those of Guishan and Sheshan fortresses. Let's put it this way, the amount of earth and dust used by a Zhaobaoshan Fortress is enough to build ten Guishan Fortresses!"

"Is that true?" Yu Liangzhen was excited when he heard this, "So much difference?"

"That's it." Zhong Yi said, "General, I have really invested a lot in the two fortresses of Zhaobaoshan and Jinjishan. The material costs of these two fortresses alone exceed 30 million! If you include the human project and other expenses, the total cost will be directly 50 million!"

As the core support of the Yinjiang defense line, Zhong Yi really invested a lot in Zhaobaoshan Fortress and Jinjishan Fortress. Nearly half of his income from selling land in Yinxi was spent on the main projects of these two fortresses and the construction of surrounding auxiliary projects. That was why Zhong Yi dared to praise this Haikou in front of Yu Liangzhen.

After a pause, Zhong Yi continued: "Master, if the project scale is just large enough, I am afraid that I would not dare to praise you about Haikou, Zhaobaoshan, and Jinjishan Fortress. The real power of the Jinjishan Fortress is also the use of a brand new technology that can greatly improve the survival rate of the fortress!"

"Is that true?" Yu Liangzhen said happily, "What new technology have you used?"

Zhong Yi just smiled and did not answer positively, but changed the topic: "Course, aren't you worried that the Japanese will use the same trick again and attack Zhaobaoshan Fortress and Jinjishan Fortress with the Dongjiuer bomb again? Then let me tell you, if the Japanese really do this, it will be just a waste of two planes and a few tons of explosives, and you won't get anything!"

"Okay, very good!" Yu Liangzhen said happily, "Since that's the case, I won't ask anymore. I'll wait to watch the show, and wait for the Japanese to hit the head and burst into blood before Zhaobaoshan Fortress and Jinjishan Fortress."

Zhong Yi said: "Don't worry, the chief officer will never let you down."

Yu Liangzhen nodded again and said, "I am looking forward to this moment."

...

At the same time, at the 13th Japanese Army Command in Shanghai.

Okamura Nishi walked into the combat hall on the second floor with a saber. Usa Mitaka, who was busy in front of the sand table, and Hinata Shiaki and more than a dozen combat staff members stood attentively and saluted.

Okamura Yasuji returned a military salute and then strode to the sand table.

The sand table shows the simulation drill for landing on the beach that will be launched at Yinjiangkou.

Judging from the sand table, the areas where the Japanese army seized the beach include the north and south areas of Yinjiangkou, from Fulong Mountain in the north to Daxie Island in the south, with a front width of more than 40 kilometers.

The scale of troops invested is two regiments.

The first batch of troops to seize the beach were not the Guards Division, but the 11th and 21st infantry regiments of the Fifth Division.

In this regard, Okamura's idea was exactly the same as that of Usa Mitsuru. Deep in his heart, he actually had doubts about the combat effectiveness of the Guard Division.

Although the officers and soldiers of the Guard Division were selected from the best and had a very brilliant record in the past, this unit had not fought a war for a long time, so the combat experience of this division could almost be said to be zero. In view of this, it is extremely irresponsible to let such troops take the lead from the beginning.

But the Fifth Division is different. This unit has been fighting on the Chinese battlefield for nearly three years. Most of its officers and soldiers have experienced cruel wars. The officers are already very familiar with the Chinese army. More importantly, this unit has also achieved extremely brilliant results on the Chinese battlefield.

Although the Fifth Division did not perform well in the first Yinjiang Battle.

But this is not enough to weaken the morale of the Fifth Division, but it can inspire their fighting spirit. Regarding this, Okamura Yasuki visited the Fifth Division twice to inspect the garrison, and he could clearly feel that all the officers and soldiers of the Fifth Division were ready to rub their hands in secret, holding their strength to wash away the previous shame.

In addition to the Fifth Division taking charge of the main attack, this attack will also have the cooperation of the navy.

In order to cooperate with the 13th Army's operations, the Third Navy Fleet was almost in full swing. Including the flagship Izumo, there were more than ten cruisers, destroyers and dozens of patrol boats, all of which will participate in the attack. In addition, there will be two aircraft carriers, Kaga and Akagi, to participate in the battle.
