In a blink of an eye, it has arrived on August 13, 27, the Republic of China.

At this time, a whole year has passed since the outbreak of the Battle of Shanghai in August 13!

At this point, the Japanese imperialist clamoring to destroy China within three months has completely become a laughing stock, because cruel facts prove that it is impossible to destroy China in three years, not to mention three months!

However, after almost a month of rotation, Higakuremiya Naihiko's intention was basically achieved!

At this time, Higakuramiya Naihiko summoned four division commanders, including Yoshio Shinozuka, Himeshiki Kiyomizu and Mesuke Fujie, to conduct the final pre-war mobilization.

"Everyone!" Higakuremiya Nianhei's ruthless eyes swept across the faces of Yoshio Shinozuka and continued, "After nearly a month of rotation and after paying a high price, participating in various divisions has basically become familiar with the atmosphere of street fighting and has basically mastered the wartime of street fighting. Now, it is time to launch the final general attack on the Chinese army!"

"Hayi!" Shinozuka Yoshio and four divisions stood up suddenly and bowed their heads in one go.

"Order!" Nianyan Higashijiugu said again, "The 10th Division is responsible for the attack in the direction of Hankou Railway Station! The 13th Division attacks from the Wudang Palace on the left wing, and the 116th Division attacks from the right wing racecourse!"

"Hayi!" Yoshio Shinozuka and the other two division commanders were slapping their heads again.

Only the division commander of the 16th Division, Mesuke Fujie, was not very happy, but there was no way to do so, because since the 9th Infantry Regiment was withdrawn, the 16th Division immediately reduced from a permanent division to a three-unit security division, and had lost its status as a Class A Division and a top-level main division.

Higashinomiya Nianhiko said again: "Shinozuka, Ojisu, and Kiyomizu, I will only give you ten days. You must take Hankou within ten days. Do you have to hear it clearly?"

"Hayi!" Shinozuka Yoshio, Ogisu's army and Shimizu were shocked and bowed again.

"Go!" Higashinomiya Nianhiko waved his hand, and Yoshio Shinozuka and the other two turned around and went.

Higakurimiya Nianhiko turned her eyes to Fujie Etsusuke and said, "Fujie, are you very disappointed?"

"Hayi!" Fujie Esuke said with a pause, "The 16th Division failed to assume a more important mission in the Battle of Wuhan, and Husband was indeed a little disappointed!"

"You are wrong to think so, Fujie-kun!" Higakurigu Nianyan waved his hand and said, "In fact, the mission you 16th Division assumes in this battle is more important than the other three divisions!"

"Nani?" Fujie Etsutsuki said blankly, "Your Highness, I don't quite understand."

Higashikuramiya Nianhiko said, "Tenge-kun, have you heard such a Chinese proverb? Before you consider winning, you should first think about defeat."

"Hayi!" Fujie Etsuo paused and said, "This is a sentence in Sun Tzu's Art of War. If a general wants to win, he will first be defeated, so he will be able to win in a hundred battles!"

"Yoxi, it turns out that Fujie-kun also knows it." Higashikuramiya Nianhiko nodded happily and said, "Although the Imperial Army has almost never been defeated since the outbreak of the Japanese-Chinese War, as the commander, we must prepare for the future, especially when facing dangerous opponents like Zhong Yi, we must be extremely careful."

Fujie Etsutsuki suddenly said, "Your Highness, I understand!"

Higashijiugu Nihiko said happily: "Just understand."

...

At this time, on the artillery position of the 6th Heavy Artillery Brigade in the field.

The brigade commander Takuda Ishida walked up to the high ground with a sabre surrounded by two corps captains.

Looking down from the high ground, you can clearly see that the muzzles of the 72 150mm-caliber heavy field howitzers of the 5th Field Heavy Artillery Corps were raised high.

The black hole muzzle pointed straight towards the Hankou city ahead.

Retracting his gaze from the cannons, Ishida Baodao said to the two captains behind him: "Hashimoto, Maruyama, the general attack on Hankou is about to begin, and it is finally time for our artillery to show its strength!"

"Hayi!" The two corps captains bowed heavily, among which the corps captain Maruyama Hachishu, the 14th Regiment of the Field Heavy Artillery, continued, "Brig Commander, how many bases will be used to hit this artillery?"

Takuda Ishida said: "How many base shells are left?"

Maruyama Yasuo said: "There are twelve bases of high-explosive grenades, two bases of chemical shells, and four bases of sulfur shells!"

Takuda Ishida pondered for a moment and said, "First hit a base high-explosive grenade and a half-base sulfur bomb!" After pausing for a moment, he continued, "Add a half-base chemical shell!"

Maruyama Hashi and another team captain paused, saying, "Hayi!"

Immediately afterwards, the positions of the 6th Brigade of the Field Heavy Artillery began to become busy, and at the same time, the artillery from several other positions also began to become busy.

...

Early in the morning, Zhong Yi accompanied Zhu Liangcheng to the frontier position of Hankou Railway Station.

The 1st Battalion Commander Chi Peng immediately came up and said with concern: "Room, brigade, why did you get up?"

Zhong Yi waved his hand and asked in a deep voice: "Dapeng, did the Japanese attack not launch an attack one day yesterday?"

"Yes, I haven't attacked for a day!" Chi Peng nodded and said, "I don't know where the Japanese sang?"

Zhong Yi's face collapsed when he heard this and said in a deep voice: "If I guess correctly, the Japanese will launch the final general attack on Hankou!"

"What?"

"General Attack?"

Zhu Liangcheng and Chi Peng were shocked when they heard this.

"Yes, general attack!" Zhong Yi said, "After nearly a month of fighting, several divisions of the Japanese should be familiar with the atmosphere and tactics of street fighting. Tokurokuro's patience should be almost exhausted, and the general attack will be the next one!"

As soon as the words were finished, a squeaking sound came from the sky ahead. When the three of them heard this, they changed their faces.

"Ghost bombardment!" Chi Peng shouted loudly and quickly said to Zhong Yi and Zhu Liangcheng, "Come quickly and protect the regiment and the brigades into the underground bunker!"

A group of guards rushed up and protected Zhong Yi and Zhu Liangcheng into the underground bunker.

Almost as soon as he entered the bunker, the Japanese shells fell down.

Even if you hide under the ground more than ten meters deep, you can clearly hear the explosion sound from the surface, and a large amount of mud and sand are constantly falling from the top of the bunker.

Zhong Yi put his hand on the wall of the bunker, felt the intensity of the vibration, and turned around and said to Zhu Liangcheng: "A heavy howitzer with a caliber of 150mm!"

Zhu Liangcheng said: "Zi Ren, it seems that you are talking about it. The Japanese really want to attack the general!"

In the past nearly a month, the Japanese army not only used a large number of snipers and a small number of mortars to counter the snipers of the National Army, but even rarely deployed war defense artillery, and the 150mm caliber heavy artillery was not launched at all! Therefore, today's shelling seemed particularly unusual!
