Five Prison Palaces, underground command center.

"Dingling, Dingling..." The phone kept ringing.

As soon as Zhang Shiliang put down the phone, another phone rang again immediately.

"Hey hey hey hey, this is the command center, what? Taiping Lane is lost? I know!"

"Hey hey hey hey, this is the command center, what? The Japanese have already broken through Qinglian Lane? I know!"

"Hey hey hey, this is the command center. Hello Brigade Commander Shi, what? You want to join the seat and answer the phone? I understand!"

Zhang Shiliang covered the phone and turned around and said to Zhong Yi: "Shen, Brigade Commander Shi wants to call you directly!"

Zhong Yi did not raise his head, but stared at the sand table for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Tell Brigade Commander Shi that even if he fights to the last soldier, he must defend his position!"

"Yes!" Zhang Shiliang responded, let go of the microphone and said, "Brig Commander Shi, please tell me that even if the last soldier fights, he must defend his position!"

After putting down the phone, several phones on the desk finally stopped ringing.

Stilwell breathed a sigh of relief and said to Zhong Yi in English: "Zhong, the Japanese offensive is very fierce!"

Zhu Liangcheng nodded slightly and his eyes fell on the sand table. However, he saw that a large area of ​​Hankou City, which was originally filled with red flags, had already been planted with blue triangle flags.

Zhong Yi also nodded and said, "After all, it's the Japanese general attack, as expected!"

Stilwell then asked, "Zhong, do you think you can withstand it?"

"Of course!" Zhong Yi replied without hesitation, "Of course we can withstand it!"

What a joke, what if the Japanese can break through their defense with one attack?

"Is that?" Stilwell expressed doubts about this. "From the information currently known, the Japanese general attack used at least three infantry corps forces, and at least three combat chariot squadrons and three combat artillery squadrons! And, it was an attack from the railway station, Wudang Palace, and racecourse at the same time!"

After a pause, Stilwell said again: "To be honest, I think it's hard for you to withstand it!"

"Is that right?" Zhong Yi sneered, "Before this, the Japanese army had not launched a large-scale group charge, but what is the final result? Most of the urban areas in Hankou are still firmly under the control of our army! Although the scale of this attack is larger than the previous few times, the final result will not change!"

"No, no, now it's not as good as before." Stilwell shook his head and said, "The Japanese army was not very familiar with street fighting before, but now, after nearly a month of rotation, the Japanese army is fully familiar with the atmosphere and tactics of street fighting. Your national army has lost its only advantage, but the Japanese army's advantages can be fully utilized, so..."

Stilwell did not continue to say it, but his meaning was already very clear.

Zhong Yi said: "Col. Stilwell, there is a situation that you may not understand yet."

"Oh, is that?" Stilwell spread his hands and then asked, "What's the matter?"

Zhong Yi said in a deep voice: "The biggest advantage of our Chinese army is actually not being familiar with street fighting, but will!"

"Will?" Stilwell was stunned for a moment when he heard this. Obviously, he could not understand the thing of will. There is a big difference between Eastern people and Western cognitions.

An obvious fact is that when Orientals face desperate situations, they often fight to the end, while when Westerners face desperate situations, they mostly choose to surrender!

"Yes, will!" After pausing, Zhong Yi said again, "Compared with tactics, weapons and equipment, spiritual will are our greatest advantage! We Chinese soldiers have tenacious willpower, especially when we fight for the country and for the survival of the nation, our willpower will become stronger!"

Stilwell said sternly: "Can willpower really make up for the huge gap in training and weapons and equipment?"

"Of course!" Zhong Yi focused his head, but another war in another time and space appeared in his mind. This war was the Korean War!

During the Korean War, the Chinese People's Volunteer Army was far from being able to compare with the United Nations Army led by the US military, in terms of training and weapons. However, in the end, it drove the United Nations Army back from the Sino-North Korea border to the near-38th parallel. The reason why the Chinese People's Volunteer Army was able to defeat the United Nations Army was due to its tenacious will!

In this time and space, the troops of the Wuhan Garrison Command may not be as tenacious as the Chinese People's Volunteer Army in that time and space, but similarly, the Japanese army in this time and space are not as well-trained as the US army in that time and space. As for weapons and equipment, the Japanese army in this time and space cannot compare with the US army in that time and space!

So they will definitely be able to defend Hankou!

...

Direction of the railway station, Taiping Lane position!

The 1st Battalion of the 1st Regiment of the 367th Brigade has been crippled!

During this general attack, the Japanese army invested three infantry corps, three chariot squadrons, three combat artillery squadrons, and three mortar squadrons, with more than 10,000 troops participating in the battle!

Faced with such an intensity of attack, you can imagine the pressure!

In less than an hour, Chi Peng's first battalion was basically crippled!

The one who succeeds Chi Peng’s 1st Battalion is Zhao Hanxing’s 2nd Battalion!

"Battleman, the Japanese tank is coming up again!" a veteran shouted.

Zhao Hanxing looked out from the ruins and saw another Type 95 tank driving along the street, then the turret turned around, and the 37mm caliber main gun shot at the 2nd battalion's position with just one shot, and then the Min-24 heavy machine gun was firing violently, and the heavy machine gunner died on the spot.

"Damn!" Zhao Hanxing said furiously, "Where is the cannon? Where is the war defense cannon?"

"It's gone!" said a veteran tragically, "The only two combat defense cannons in our camp were knocked out by the Japanese!"

Zhao Hanxing subconsciously turned his head and saw that the wreckage of a 37mm caliber war defense cannon was spreading across the street not far away.

"Damn it!" Zhao Hanxing cursed and said, "Little Sparrow, blow this dog-good tank for me!"

"Yes!" A veteran responded miserably, immediately took a five-pound explosive pack from the engineer behind him, and then rushed towards the Japanese tank with a look of grief and anger.

"Cover!" Zhao Hanxing immediately roared, "Firepower Cover!"

The officers and soldiers of the 2nd battalion on the position stood up one after another and fired violently with all kinds of guns.

The dense firepower poured out like a heavy rain in an instant, knocking the armored body of the Japanese tank into a jingle. The Japanese machine gunner in the car was immediately stunned, wondering which direction to fight back?

Taking advantage of this precious opportunity, the veteran quickly advanced.

Unfortunately, the tank was followed by the Japanese infantry. These Japanese infantry soon discovered the rushing veterans, and the dense firepower was immediately poured out, and they piled the veterans to the ground.
