Chapter 466 The Battle Begins
Zhong Yi said in a deep voice: "The Japanese built a solid fortress outside Hankou. It's nothing, because no matter how strong the fortress is, it can only be used for defense, not for offense!"
After pausing, Zhong Yi said again: "What I am more worried about is that the Japanese have become more cautious!"
"Yes!" Sun Liren nodded and said deeply, "The Japanese arrived at the outskirts of Hankou yesterday afternoon. According to their usual style, they attacked directly!"
After a pause, Sun Liren said again: "But this time, they did not do this! They spent an afternoon and an evening to build a military camp in the northern suburbs of Hankou!"
"This is what military strategy says. If you don't want to win, you will first want to lose!" Zhong Yi said in a deep voice, "It can be seen that Yoshio Shinozuka, the commander of the 10th Division, is a very cautious person!"
Sun Liren said: "Those people are the hardest to deal with!"
"Yes!" Zhong Yi said, "The real test is here!"
Sun Liren was so shocked when he heard this that the war finally began!
...
Almost at the same time, Yoshio Shinozuka also climbed a small hill in the northern suburbs of Hankou with the dike. He was standing on the top of the mountain holding a telescope and looking at Guishan from afar.
"If you don't stick to the dike, you'll be Kame Mountain to the west?" asked Yoshio Shinozuka.
"Hayi!" Di Bujiao suddenly paused his head and said, "The middle of the mountain was poured with concrete, which is what TKU calls Guishan Fortress! There is also Snake Mountain Fortress on the south bank of the Yangtze River!"
He paused and said, "In addition to the railway station fortress in Hankou, it just forms a pin-shaped shape!"
"I saw it!" Shinozuka Yoshio said sternly, "There are shooting holes on the Linjiang fortress wall. The ones deployed in these shooting holes must be the fortress guns of the Chinese army and the large-caliber howitzers!"
"Hayi!" Dibujiagui paused his head again and said, "The reason why the Tottori Army was annihilated by the Chinese army in less than forty minutes was mainly because there were heavy artillery groups from Guishan Fortress and Snake Mountain Fortress fired them!"
After a pause, the Tuibujiagui continued, "Then, the Chinese infantry secretly detoured around the Tottori Army camp through the tunnels reserved in advance, which eventually led to the collective breakdown of the Tottori Army!"
He paused again and said, "In other words, this is a carefully constructed trap!"
Yoshio Shinozuka shook his head and said, "No, it's mainly because Nishi Otsuki Kwan underestimates the enemy too much! If he doesn't underestimate the enemy, he will easily find that this is a trap, and the Tottori United team will not be able to break up together!"
"Hayi!" The tide-buried man said with great silence, "Ni Otsuki Kwan is indeed responsible for the unshirkable responsibility of the Tottori-English team!"
"No, Tsuki no, you misunderstood!" Shinozuka Yoshio waved his hand and said, "I said this not to shirk responsibility, nor to put all the responsibility on Nishi Otsuki Kwan's head. I just want to tell you that we must learn from the lessons of Tottori and we must not repeat the same mistakes!"
"Hayi!" Diping Jiagui nodded sternly and said, "I remember the humble technician!"
"Yo Xi!" Shinozuka Yoshio nodded happily and said, "Then now, let's discuss how to launch an attack on Hankou?"
"Hayi!" Dibujiagui paused his head suddenly and said, "Teacher Commander, to be honest, this battle is not easy to fight."
"Yes." Yoshio Shinozuka nodded slightly and said, "I guess you have already seen that the heavy artillery groups of Guishan Fortress and the Snake Mountain Fortress can effectively protect Hankou! Therefore, before destroying the artillery groups of Guishan Fortress and the Snake Mountain Fortress, the Imperial Army must face the artillery fire attack of the Chinese army, so there will be great casualties!"
"Hayi!" Dibujiagui paused his head again and said, "So, Beizhi suggested launching an attack at night!"
"Night attack?" Shinozuka Yoshio's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said happily, "This is a good idea."
After pausing, Yoshio Shinozuka said again: "Since the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, the Imperial Army rarely attacked at night. The Chinese army will definitely form a fixed mindset, thinking that the Imperial Army will continue to launch attacks at night. In this way, it may even catch them off guard and break into Hankou in one fell swoop!"
The dike Bujiagui said happily: "The division commander clearly understands!"
"Your suggestion is very good! If you can successfully break into Hankou tonight, you will remember your first merit!" Shinozuka Yoshio nodded happily again and said, "However, before dark, we still have to launch several large-scale attacks to paralyze the Chinese army as much as possible and create opportunities for a sudden attack at night!"
"Hayi!" Dibugu said with his head, "The division commander is wise!"
Yoshio Shinozuka waved his hand and said, "Then let's start."
"Hayi!" Dibujiagui paused his head again, then turned to the communications officer behind him and said, "Order that the 10th Infantry Regiment can start attacking Hankou!"
"Hayi!"
...
Hankou, railway station fortress.
Today, the 4th Battalion of the 2nd Regiment of the 367th Brigade was the 4th Battalion of the 2nd Regiment of Hankou Railway Station!
The more than 60 officers and soldiers from the 1st Company and 1st Platoon of the 4th Battalion!
He Yunpeng went from the first floor of the main bunker No. 1 to the second floor, and while walking, he patted the first platoon of officers and soldiers guarding behind the shooting hole: "Everyone cheered me up, the Japanese are about to attack!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a squeaking sound of shells came from outside the bunker.
He Yunpeng looked back quickly and could clearly see through the shooting holes in the outer eight characters that flowed lights were whistling from the northwest sky!
The Japanese started shelling!
"Lying down, lying down!" He Yunpeng turned over and lay down on the ground, and supported his chest with both fists. He shouted at the officers and soldiers around him, "Pressing his chest with his fists, and supporting his chest with his fists!"
The officers and soldiers guarding the second floor of the bunker fell down one after another, supporting their chests with their palms.
In the next moment, rows of shells were piled up in the railway station fortress and exploded violently!
"Boom boom boom boom boom!" The huge sound wave instantly poured in from the shooting hole, which made He Yunpeng and the officers and soldiers of the 4th battalion buzz. Then, a violent vibration also transmitted from the ground beneath him. The solid bunker was shaken like a small boat in a storm, as if it could capsize at any time!
Just by hearing this movement, He Yunpeng had already judged that it was at least a heavy howitzer with a caliber of 150mm!
He Yunpeng only felt his fists numb. If he didn't use his fists to support his chest, he would directly transmit the shock wave to his body. He Yunpeng suspected that even if he was not shocked to death on the spot, he would definitely be seriously injured!
Chapter completed!
