Chapter 572 Second General Attack

Liu Sheng and Bai Chong's sad expression were inevitably a little excited.

Liu Sheng was filled with anger. He found an opportunity and immediately started to fight back.

Liu Sheng said: "I have said a long time ago that we are far away in Chongqing and do not understand the actual situation on the front line, so it is best not to intervene too much, but to fully trust the commander on the front line!"

After pausing, Liu Sheng said to Principal Chang again: "Fortunately, the principal is extremely determined and did not believe the alarmist words of some cowardly people. Otherwise, there would be no such beautiful counterattack!"

After hearing this, Principal Chang couldn't help but feel a slight fever on his face.

Chen Shi was furious when he heard this and said angrily: "Who do you think is a coward?"

Liu Sheng smiled and said, "It's not scary to be cowardly, and whoever answers will be embarrassed."

Chen Shi became more and more angry and said angrily: "Liu Sheng, please make your words clear!"

"Okay!" President Chang couldn't stand it and snorted coldly, "All senior generals of the Party and the country, what are they saying in public? Shut up!"

Chen Shi closed his mouth unwillingly.

At this time, He Yingpei said: "Just Brother Zhang just said that this night counterattack in Wuhan Garrison District was a beautiful counterattack. Is this an exaggeration?"

"Yes." Xu Yongsheng also said, "It's said on the telegram that in order to kill these more than 9,000 Japanese, the Wuhan Garrison District paid more than twice the price of casualties!"

"Two times the casualties are good!" Bai Chong retorted griefly, "Look at the Battle of Songhu, look at the Battle of Nanjing, and look at the Battle of Xuzhou. Even if it is the Battle of Taierzhuang, have we ever fought a 2-to-1 casualty ratio? What's more, the Wuhan Garrison District not only achieved a 2-to-1 casualty ratio, but also regained the lost positions during the day!"

"So what if you recover it?" Chen Shi finally calmed down and counterattacked, "Even if the position is regained, the fortifications built by the Wuhan Garrison District before must have been destroyed by the Japanese army. This means that in the next battle, our army will have no danger to defend and can only fill in the lives!"

He Yingpei snorted and said, "Ci Xiu is right. Yesterday was just a lucky one. If the Wuhan Garrison District could still score a 2-to-1 casualty ratio today, that would be the real skill!"

Liu Sheng said: "Then let's wait and see!"

Chen Shi replied coldly: "Okay!"

...

It was around 4:30 in the morning, the darkest time before dawn.

Higakuramiya Naihiko once again summoned the four division commanders of Shinozuka Yoshio, Ogisuka, Kiyomizuki and Fujie Esuke into his large tent!

When they entered the door, Ogisu Ribuki and Shimizu were both feeling a little heavy.

The Chinese army only had one counterattack and ate one of their corps. If they had four more such counterattacks, their entire division would be ruined! Facing such a strong opponent and such cruel reality, how could they not feel heavy? The difficulty of the Battle of Hankou is far beyond their expectations.

Of course, in addition to being in a heavy mood, the two of them were also a little dissatisfied!

It was dissatisfied with Higashinomiya Nianhiko. Both of them insisted that it was Higashinomiya Nianhiko's tactic of burning both jade and stone that caused the three attacking forces to be destroyed!

If there were no artillery attacks from the Second Army's heavy artillery group, even if the three infantry regiments attacked were besieged by the Chinese army, they would not have been completely destroyed, and at least half of them could have escaped!

To be honest, they really can't understand why Higashijiugu Nihiko wanted to use the cruel tactic of burning both jade and stone?

From the joyful expressions of Ogisu Ribuki and Kiyomizu, Higakuramiya Naihiko could guess what they were thinking, but he didn't want to explain anything at all.

As the commander, he has no obligation to explain his decision to his subordinates!

If you can have a clear understanding of the enemy and your own strength like Yoshio Shinozuka, Higashinomiya Nianhiko will be very pleased, but if you can't do this, it's nothing. You just need to firmly execute the order! Ogisu Ribuki and Shimizu Hiroshi obviously belong to the latter!

At that moment, Higashijiugu Nianyan said in a deep voice: "You guys, in the counterattack early this morning, the Chinese army did cause heavy losses to the Imperial Army. The three elite infantry corps were collectively broken. I was extremely sad and deeply guilty about this!"

Ogisu established troops, Shinozuka Yoshio, Kiyomizuki and Fujie Meso, the four division commanders all remained silent.

After pausing, Higakure-Miyasu Nianhiko continued: "But I want to emphasize that under the attack of the heavy artillery group of our Second Army, the price the Chinese army has to pay will only be much heavier than the Imperial Army! So in general, the comparison of enemy-to-wealth strength is evolving in a direction that is conducive to the Imperial Army!"

"Yesterday, the troops that broke into the city occupied almost three-fifths of the city!"

"Considering that after the imperial army broke into the city yesterday, it had destroyed a large number of Chinese army's defenses, today's attack will only go smoother, so today's preset goal is to occupy at least four-fifths of the Hankou city!"

Speaking of this, he paused again. Dongjiugu Niyan picked up the wooden pole and pointed at the sand table and said, "In other words, we must compress the Chinese defenders into the narrow area between Baojia Lane, Huangpi Street, and Michang Street! Are you confident?"

Yoshio Shinozuka stood attentively and said proudly: "Don't worry, your highness, our 10th Division guarantees to complete the mission!"

Ogisu Ribuki snorted coldly and said in a deep voice: "Your 10th Division has the shortest attack distance, of course it is no problem, but our 13th Division and the 116th Division have the attack distance, which is twice that of your 10th Division!"

Yoshio Shinozuka glanced coldly and said, "Oitaki, I can exchange it with you!"

"Forget it!" Ogisu Ribuki said coldly, "I never thought of picking up the cheapest ones for you, Yoshio Shinozuka!"

On the other side, Shimizu suddenly said: "There is no problem rushing into Michang Street, but I want to know, if the Chinese army launches a counterattack again in the early morning tomorrow, will His Highness order the artillery to carry out indiscriminate artillery bombardment again?"

"Baga!" Higakuramiya Nianyan said furiously, "Qimizu, are you questioning my decision?"

"Hayi!" Qingshui suddenly stopped her feet and then slapped her head heavily.

Higashijiugu Nihiko was angry, and Shimizu was still a little afraid.

In any case, Higashijiugu Nihiko is a member of the royal family, and he is also a rare soldier among the royal family members! He really makes trouble for Higashijiugu Nihiko, and he will never have any good results!

Higakurigu Nihiko groaned and said, "Qingmizu, and Ojisu, you are in a bad mood at the moment. I can understand this, but the order must be executed! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude to you!"

He paused and said, "Go back and start the attack on time at six o'clock!"

"Hai" Yoshio Shinozuka and the other two were all paused and turned around and left.
Chapter completed!
