Because Chen Shi was telling the truth, in the Battle of Wuhan, the Chinese army was indeed at a clear disadvantage in hand-to-hand combat!

What's more, there is another factor that cannot be ignored, that is, whether it is the Battle of Nanjing or the Battle of Wuhan, all the soldiers under Zhong Yi were elite!

The officers and soldiers participating in the Battle of Nanjing were all the most elite Central Army!

The officers and soldiers participating in the Wuhan Battle are basically veterans who have returned from injury!

But even such veterans are still at an absolute disadvantage in hand-to-hand combat!

The Japanese army is indeed stronger than the national army in terms of individual combat effectiveness, and it is not a little bit stronger!

After a pause, Chen Shi said again: "Unfortunately, the current battle in Yiwu has evolved into a full-scale melee. The nearly 300,000 troops of both sides have been completely wrapped up. At this time, the commanders of both sides have actually lost their command power. The front-line departments can only rely on battalion-level, even platoon-level officers, or simply fight on their own!"

"At this time, the main factors that determine the outcome of the war have been transformed from high-level command, logistics support, strategy and tactics in the general sense to the individual combat power of grassroots officers and soldiers of both sides. In this regard, the Japanese army has an absolute advantage, but our army is at an absolute disadvantage. Therefore, the prospects for this battle are really not optimistic!"

After pausing, Chen Shi said again: "At least I am personally pessimistic."

Principal Chang's face began to become unstable, and he immediately turned his eyes to Liu Sheng.

Liu Sheng laughed and asked Chen Shi: "Brother Cixiu, I admit that what you are talking about is the fact. Even the most elite central army, our individual combat effectiveness is far inferior to the Japanese army. But I would like to ask Brother Cixiu, do you know why the individual combat effectiveness of the national army is not as good as the Japanese army?"

"Of course I know." Chen Shi smiled, "There are only two factors that determine the combat effectiveness of individual soldiers. One is daily training and the other is physical fitness. We are not as good as others in these two aspects."

"That's all the old calendar." Liu Sheng shook his head and said, "Brother Cixiu, I would like to ask, how much do you know about the current 41st Army and the 10th Army?"

Speaking of this, Liu Sheng continued, "Or I'll say it another way, have you ever contacted the current 41st Army and the officers and soldiers of the 10th Army?"

Chen Shi asked back: "The 41st Army and the 10th Army are now different from the 41st Army and the 10th Army?"

"Of course there is a difference, and there is a big difference!" Liu Sheng said, "I remember when Brother Weiran first arrived in Zhejiang Province, he sent a telegram, telling him what he thought about when he first arrived in Zhejiang Province and was the commander-in-chief of the 41st Group Army. Do Brother Ci Xiu remember?"

Chen Shi's face froze slightly. Of course he remembered this telegram. In this telegram, Lin Wei told the training, equipment and mental outlook of all the officers and soldiers of the 41st Army, which focused on the physical condition of the officers and soldiers of the army.

He said that most of the officers and soldiers of other national troops had good looks and were thin. Although the officers and soldiers of the 41st Army also looked thin, their thinness was different from those of other troops, but thinness. In other words, although they looked thin, they were actually strong, and they were like little tigers, very powerful!

Liu Sheng ignored Chen Shi and instead said to Principal Chang: "Principal, I have been to Zhejiang Province a month ago. I was fortunate to witness a military exercise by the 41st Army. I found that the officers and soldiers of the 41st Army are really different from other troops. The officers and soldiers of this unit are really strong, and they all look like little tigers!"

"In addition to being strong, the training is also very solid. It is no exaggeration to say that the nine divisions of the 41st Army, both in terms of training and physical fitness, are not worse than those of the Japanese army! On the contrary, the physical foundation of our Chinese is better than that of the Japanese army. The average height of the Japanese army is only over 1.6 meters, while the average height of our national army is 1.7 meters!"

"There are few Japanese soldiers who are over 1.7 meters tall, but among our national army, it is not uncommon for big men who are over 1.8 meters tall, and there are also many giant men who are over 1.9 meters tall, or even two meters tall! Therefore, even if they compete for individual combat power, the 41st Army will never be weaker than the Japanese army, and the 10th Army will probably not be inferior to that of the 10th Army!"

President Chang asked: "So, we still have a chance to win?"

Liu Sheng shook his head and then said, "Principal, we still have a chance to win, but we have never lost the chance to win, and I firmly believe that we will win in the end!"

...

Yiwu, front line.

This is destined to be a war that will be recorded in history!

About two hours later, the Guards Division basically broke out of the encirclement. There were few Japanese soldiers left in the encirclement formed by the 41st Army and the 10th Army of the National Army.

The situation that worried Zhong Yi the most did not happen.

The 41st Army and the participating divisions of the 10th Army withstood the internal and external attacks of the Japanese army and did not lead to a defeat in the first wave of fierce attacks of the Japanese army!

Of course, chaos is inevitable!

By this time, the command system of each unit basically no longer exists.

It is a common phenomenon that the division commander cannot find the regiment commander, and the regiment commander cannot find the battalion commander!

For example, Zhang Lingfu, the commander of the 62nd Division, was the only one who could command the commander!

However, even though there was only one guard squad left, Zhang Lingfu was not discouraged, but instead led the guard squad to launch a decision to fight back against the Japanese army without hesitation!

This was also what Zhong Yi had deployed early in the morning.

Just wait for the Japanese Guard Division to emerge from the siege, and immediately counterattack on a large scale!

No matter what happens, even if you face thousands of Japanese troops, even if you only have one soldier around you, even if you are bayonets of the Japanese, you must fight back! There is nothing to say!

This order has also been issued to the individual soldier!

In a word, after the Japanese Guard Division passed, even if there was only one person left, they must fight back resolutely!

Zhang Lingfu jumped up from the trench with Thomson's submachine gun and shouted: "There are all, chase me, and you can't let the Japanese devils run away!"

More than 30 soldiers from the entire guard squad roared in unison.

"Run!" Zhang Lingfu flipped the submachine gun in his hand forward and rushed out first.

More than 30 soldiers behind him followed with submachine guns and fired violently.

Right ahead, there were the backs of hundreds of Japanese devils from the Guard Division. With a burst of fire, dozens of them fell down instantly.
