Chapter 487
Two hours later, Fang Jianwei arrived at the Hanyang Command of Guishan Fortress.
Half an hour ago, Fang Jianwei escorted Seontaro and Kono Shino back to Kameyama Fortress.
Sun Liren was also very happy to know that he had captured a Nakasaku alive, but Sun Liren was more concerned about the Japanese military intelligence, so he immediately asked Fang Jianwei to torture and interrogate Seontaro and Kono Shino.
In less than half an hour, Fang Jianwei interrogated the result.
Sun Liren looked down at the sand table and asked without raising his head, "Did you ask?"
"I've called it!" Fang Jianwei nodded, "Why don't you worry about not asking it under the three trees!"
Fang Jianwei, like Hu Qing, is also from the Military Commission and is well versed in the torture and forced confessions.
Sun Liren deeply agrees that unless he has received specially trained agents and spies, there is basically no one in the world who can withstand severe torture!
At that moment, Sun Liren said again: "Which division is coming?"
"Third Division!" Fang Jianwei said, "The 34th Regiment of the vanguard infantry has arrived at Mengjiapu, which is less than twenty miles away from Hanyang!"
"Third Division?" Sun Liren said, "Another permanent division has arrived!"
After pausing, Sun Liren turned his head and ordered the adjutant behind him and said, "Call the call to report to the headquarters. The Japanese Third Division is less than twenty miles away from Hanyang. I will notify Brigade Commander Chen, Brigade Commander Liu and Brigade Commander Pan to the fortress command for a meeting!"
After saying that, Sun Liren picked up a war chess representing the Japanese army and placed it heavily on the sand table in front of him.
...
Twenty miles north of Hanyang, the troop of troops from the Third Division were heading south along the highway.
The command car of the division headquarters was parked on the side of the road, and the division commander Fujita Shin was standing on the side of the road with his hands on his back.
Fujita Jin has the characteristics shared by most Japanese soldiers in this era. He is short but solid, with a beautiful mustache on his lips, which highlights his unique identity.
The Fujita family is a family of Yamanashi Prefecture, and Fujita's resume is even more extraordinary. Not only is he a classmate of Lu Shi with Okamura Yasuji, Doihara Kenji and Sakagaki Seishiro, he also served as an adjutant to Prince Yuren Chichibumiya. He has a very close relationship with the royal family and has also studied in France for six years!
However, a good background and a beautiful resume do not mean excellent commanding skills.
In fact, Fujita Jin's command attainments were very mediocre, and the Third Division also participated in the Battle of Songhu, but Fujita Jin's performance in the Battle of Songhu was very mediocre and even a bit clumsy!
In the second phase of the Battle of Songhu, the Third Division fought very badly compared to the 11th Division!
In a word, Fujita's tactical thinking is very rigid and rarely adaptable!
The rapid footsteps sounded, and when Fujita looked back, it was Chief of Staff Masaru Saito coming over.
"Secretary Commander!" Saito Masarei quickly walked to Fujitajin and paused, "The Cavalry Federation reported that the cavalry team they sent to explore the way had lost contact."
"Lost contact?" Fujita Mura said coldly, "losing contact in such a place is probably because the Chinese army has eaten it."
"Hai, Huyi also thinks so." Saito Masaru paused and said, "But the problem is that the leader of the cavalry team is Shintaro Hoshi, the leader of the cavalry team!"
"Nani?" Fujita said in surprise, "Shentaro?"
"Hayi!" Saito Masaru paused again, "Hsunjun also lost contact!"
"Haga!" Fujita Jin said angrily, "Shentaro, the idiot, as the captain of the cavalry regiment, always likes to treat himself as a cavalry and rushes to the front line every time! Something happened this time!"
After a pause, Fujita Jin continued, "Don't worry about him, just die!"
"Hayi!" Saito Masaru paused again, "The division commander, the 34th Infantry Regiment is less than twenty miles away from Hanyang. Should I let them stop first? To avoid repeating the mistakes of the 40th Infantry Regiment."
Fujita nodded and said, "The 34th Infantry Regiment can't move forward any further, but this is not because they are worried that they will repeat the mistakes of the 40th Infantry Regiment, but according to tactical regulations, they should indeed stop!"
"Hayi!" Saito Masaru paused again, "I understand!"
...
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Zhong Yi took Stilwell to Guishan Fortress.
Zhong Yi did not stay too much at Sun Liren's command center, but directly climbed to the Observatory of the King Yu Palace.
Standing at the observation room of the Yu Palace, looking down, you can not only clearly see Hankou more than ten miles away, but also the plains, hills, villages and towns more than ten miles north of Hanyang.
A huge Japanese army has arrived in the north of Hanyang City and is building camps in an open area more than ten miles away.
With the vision of the artillery mirror, you can clearly see the dust that the Japanese officers and soldiers were venturing out when they dug trenches!
Stilwell had no artillery mirror, so he could only use his military telescope. After observing for a while, he said: "Zhong, the Third Division seems to be just an artillery corps!"
From the field of view, you can clearly see the artillery position at the back of the Japanese camp.
The Japanese artillery positions were very wide, with more than 30 field howitzers scattered within a radius of nearly a thousand meters. It is impossible to have more than a dozen or even dozens of cannons lined up in a row!
The reason why filming dramas are filmed like this is just for visual effects!
If the artillery position is really built like this, the enemy will throw a bomb down and it will be completely finished!
Although the Japanese aviation army had completely obtained air superiority on the Wuhan battlefield, the 3rd Regiment of the Field Artillery of the Third Division still repaired the artillery positions meticulously in accordance with the regulations.
Zhong Yi roughly counted, thirty-four cannons!
It is almost the establishment of a field artillery corps!
And looking at the outlines of these howitzers, they are all 105mm caliber field howitzers!
There are also differences between them, some horse-drawn divisions. Some horse-drawn divisions are equipped with only 75mm caliber field howitzers, but as an old permanent division, the 3rd Division is equipped with 105mm caliber field howitzers, whose artillery firepower is one level stronger than that of ordinary horse-drawn divisions!
This is not pleasant news for the 1st Guard Brigade and the 2nd Guard Brigade in Hanyang City!
Although many houses in Hanyang City have been renovated and reinforced, they can withstand the bombardment of 75mm-caliber field howitzers, 105mm-caliber field howitzers still cannot withstand it!
But then again, compared with the Guard Brigade and the Special Brigade in Hankou, the Police Corps are much better.
Because the Guard Brigade, Special Forces Brigade and Police Corps in Hankou, in addition to facing a 75mm caliber mountain artillery corps and a 105mm caliber field artillery corps, they also have to face a 150mm caliber field heavy artillery corps!
Thinking of this, Zhong Yi's heart moved slightly, and a hazy thought slowly took shape from his mind.
Chapter completed!
