Facing the 150,000-strong army of Higashikuiri Nianhiko, Principal Chang's confidence began to shake.

Can the four infantry brigades in the Hankou Defense Zone of the Wuhan Garrison Command really defend Hankou?

Chen Shiren was called the young chairman, and he was really good at thinking about Principal Chang's thoughts. Seeing Principal Chang's expression, he immediately guessed that Principal Chang was shaken.

Chen Shi shook his head and said, "This battle in Hankou is hanging!"

The senior generals present and dozens of high-level leaders, all of whom gathered on Chen Shi's face.

Chen Shi continued to explain: "Originally, if Nianyan from Dongjiu'er Palace could divide the troops and divide the forces of the four divisions into two or even three parts, and at the same time attacking Hankou, Hanyang and even Wuchang, the situation might be better. After all, in this way, the difference in the forces between the two sides would not be so huge!"

After a pause, Chen Shi continued, "But who would have thought that Nianyan from Dongjiugu actually did not divide his troops and concentrated all his troops to attack Hankou. In this way, the comparison of enemy and us in Hankou reached an astonishing 2:1! Everyone, this is 2:1, not 1:2. In my impression, our army has more than five times the advantage of the troops, and it is difficult to ensure victory. But now, not only does not have the advantage of the troops, but is at a disadvantage in terms of troops. How can we fight this battle?"

Principal Chang's face suddenly became more and more serious, because Chen Shi said what he was most worried about.

After Chen Shi finished speaking, the entire combat hall was silent, and Wen Yingxing turned his head and gave Yang Nan a wink.

Yang Nan nodded and stepped forward and said, "General Chen's words are a bit biased. In the battle of Xinjiekou in Nanjing, Zhong Yi used two thousand men to carry more than 6,000 Japanese troops with a 367th Regiment. At that time, the comparison of enemy-wealth forces reached an even more astonishing 1:3. Didn't he defend it in the end?"

"Can this be confused?" Chen Shi said, "Compared with Hiroshi Hiroshi of Hiroshi of Hiroshi of Hiroshi of Hiroshi of Hiroshi of Hiroshi of the Hankou War, the scale of the Battle of Hankou is far greater than that of the Battle of Xinjiekou. Once the war reaches its scale, it can only be won by strength! It will be difficult for Zhong Yi to be smarter on the battlefield!"

"Take a clever?" Liu Sheng couldn't help but say, "Brother Cixiu thinks that Jianghan's defense is also clever?"

"This..." Chen Shi was speechless. Although deep in his heart, he had never truly recognized the Jianghan defense summary formulated by Zhong Yi, even so, he did not dare to say that the Jianghan defense summary was clever, because it was approved by the Commander-in-Chief and President Chang!

If Zhong Yi planned a Jianghan defense outline, wouldn’t that mean that all the senior generals and even Principal Chang in the Command were blind? Isn’t this offending all colleagues in the Command?

A word stumped Chen Shi, and Liu Sheng turned around and said to Principal Chang: "Principal, the 150,000 troops of the four divisions of Nianyan from Dongjiugu Palace are coming in full force, but they are actually not worth worrying about! Because the Jianghan defense summary drawn up by Zhong Yi has long been determined to have a strict and complete defense system."

"Wei Zhi fully agrees with Brother Zhang's judgment." Bai Chong also said, "No more, just the Hankou Railway Station Fortress and the two fortresses on the left and right wings of Hankou City are enough for Higashijiugu Nianyan to drink a pot! Such a Yonggu Fortress cannot be beaten with a large number of people!"

Principal Chang felt a little relieved.

...

Almost at the same time, Higakurimiya Nianhiko took Yoshio Shinozuka to a height of 100 meters in an air balloon.

As a member of the royal family and the commander of the Second Army, Higashikuramiya Naihiko was willing to risk his life on the balloon and reach a height of 100 meters in order to obtain first-hand information. Shinozuka Yoshio admired this.

Originally, Yoshio Shinozuka was somewhat contemptuous of Higashiki Higashiki, but from this incident, Yoshio Shinozuka's feelings towards Higashiki Higashiki Higashiki has completely changed, and his words were much more respectful than before.

As soon as he reached a height of 100 meters, Higashijiujiu Nihiko held up his telescope and began to concentrate on observing Guishan and Snake Mountain Fortress.

After a long time, Higashinomiya Hiroki finally put down his telescope and said to Yoshio Shinozuka: "Shinozuka, the two fortresses built by the Chinese army on Kame Mountain and Snake Mountain are not simple!"

"Hayi!" Shinozuka Yoshio paused his head, "The fortress built by the Chinese army on Guishan can not only use machine gun fire to protect Hanyang's safety, but also use long-range cannons to protect Hankou! There are also the fortress of Snake Mountain, which can also protect Hankou and Hanyang through long-range cannons. This is simply a closed chain buckle!"

"Suoga!" said Dongjiuer Nianyan, "The reality that the imperial army needs to face now is that if they want to capture Hankou, they must first capture Guishan Fortress. But the problem is that if they want to capture Guishan Fortress, they must first capture Hanyang! However, if they want to capture Hanyang, they must first capture the Snake Mountain Fortress! And if they want to capture the Snake Mountain Fortress, they must first capture Wuchang!"

"Hayi!" Shinozuka Yoshio paused his head, "So the key to the battle in Wuhan is Wuchang! Only by taking Wuchang first can this closed chain buckle be opened!"

"You can open this closed chain buckle by taking down Wuchang? I don't think so!" Higashijiugu Nianyan shook his head and said, "Because the long-range artillery fire of Guishan Fortress can also support the Wuchang urban area. If the Imperial Army attacks Wuchang, it will also be violently bombarded by the long-range large-caliber heavy artillery of the Chinese Army!"

"Nani?" Shinozuka Yoshio said in surprise, "But your Highness, according to Huyi's observation, it seems that it is difficult for the Chinese army to shoot long-range artillery in the Guishan Fortress to reach Wuchang?"

Higakuru Miyaki Nianhiko shook his head and said, "How can you be sure that the Chinese army does not have hidden long-range artillery?"

Yoshio Shinozuka was speechless. Yes, who is sure that the Chinese army has no hidden long-range artillery fire?

Higakurimiya Nianhiko once again raised his telescope and observed at Guishan and Snake Mountain fortress for at least a quarter of an hour.

Then, Higashinomiya Nianhiko asked, "Is it really impossible to destroy the fortresses built by the Chinese army in Guishan, Schershan and Hankou Railway Station?"

"Hayi!" Shinozuka Yoshio said, "The aviation army has tried many times and dropped at least ten 800kg aviation bombs into the fortress of Guishan, Schershan and Hankou Railway Station. The final result was that both Guishan, Schershan and Hankou Railway Station were intact and even unscathed!"

"Baga!" Higakuremiya Nianhiko gritted his teeth, "The one who helped the Chinese army design these fortresses must be a top architect who has systematically studied engineering architecture!"
