At the same time, in the Five Prison Palaces.

Zhang Shiliang said to Zhong Yi: "I'll take a seat. Yesterday, one day, the two battlefields in Hankou and Hanyang combined, our army killed nearly 6,000 officers and soldiers, and killed more than 3,000 Japanese soldiers!"

Zhu Liangcheng said: "That is to say, the casualties between the enemy and us have been closer to one to two!"

"This is the expected result!" Zhong Yi said lightly, "As the battle continues to deepen, as long as the morale is not damaged, our army's combat effectiveness will only become stronger and stronger! The casualties of both sides will be further closer, and even overtake it!"

"This is for sure!" Zhu Liangcheng nodded and asked again, "By the way, Zi Ren, I don't know how many people we have left now, how many people we have left now?"

"One hundred thousand people!" Zhong Yi replied, "But on the side of the Japanese, we have only 75,000 people left!"

"Where is the devil?" Zhu Liangcheng said, "How many people are left in the second army of Higakiori Palace?"

Zhong Yi replied: "Comprehensive information from all aspects, there are about 135,000 people left in the second army of Higashijiugu Niyan!"

Zhu Liangcheng said: "The gap in troops is not very big. If you continue to consume like this, the first thing that cannot be sustained will definitely be the Japanese, not us!"

...

In a blink of an eye, six days passed again, and time came August 30!

Today, Higakure-Miya Nianhiko was abnormal and got up early at 6 o'clock in the morning, and sat for an hour before the blackboard with the remaining forces of the Chinese and Japanese armies!

I saw that the two sets of numbers on the blackboard have changed!

The number of Chinese military forces has changed from 74,000 six days ago to 14,000.

However, after this 14,000, a question mark was put! I don’t know why, but the more I went to the end, the less confident Higakure-Miya Nihiko was!

Looking at the number of Japanese troops, the number of troops has changed from 137,000 six days ago to 116,000. In just six days, the Second Army has killed more than 21,000 more people in battle!

It is no exaggeration to say that the number of troops in the Second Army has dropped to a very dangerous number!

Because the Second Army is now in deep and the Japanese army closest to them are at least 500 miles away, and around them, they are spying on China's two major war zones, the fifth and the ninth war zones! Once the 600,000 troops pounced over in the two Chinese war zones, the six hundred thousand troops, it is still a headache!

But fortunately, the strength of the Wuhan defenders is almost exhausted!

It is just around the corner to take over Wuhan!

...

A sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside the tent.

When looking back, I saw the Chief of Staff of the Second Army, Machijiri Oki, walking in with a saber.

"Your Highness!" Machijiri Ryoki paused and said, "Yesterday, more than 3,000 more people were killed in the imperial army!"

"Baga!" Higakuri Miya Nihiko cursed softly, and immediately picked up the chalk to wipe off the Japanese casualties on the blackboard, and rewritten it again on 113,000!

Then, Higakure-Miya Nianhiko asked, “So, how many troops will be killed?”

"Hayi!" Machijiri Ryoki paused, "There were fewer Chinese troops killed today than yesterday, only less than six thousand!"

"Nani?" Qingshui, the commander of the 116th Division, was just next to him, said happily, "The Imperial Army was killed more than 3,000, but the Chinese Army was killed less than 6,000. Doesn't this mean that the casualties of both sides are less than one to two?"

"Hayi!" Machijiri Oki paused, "But this is understandable. After all, with the large number of Chinese defenders killed, the rest are real elites, and their combat effectiveness will definitely improve compared to before! It is even very close to the Imperial Army, and it is very normal to fight one to two casualties!"

After a pause, Machijiri Ryoki said again: "But fortunately, the Chinese army's forces are almost exhausted!"

While saying that, Machijiri Yoshiki walked to the blackboard and drew the number of Chinese troops from!

"Yo Xi!" Higashijiugu Nianyan nodded happily and said, "That means that the Chinese defenders in Wuhan have only more than 8,000 troops left, and they may not be able to survive today!"

After pausing, Higakuremiya Naihiko said again: "Machijiri, since the Chinese army has less than 10,000 troops, there is no need to be as conservative as before. You can invest more troops and launch a larger-scale attack! Be sure to win Hankou and Hanyang before dark!"

"Hayi!" Machijirikidun said first, "Your Highness, how many troops should I put in?"

After pondering for a moment, Nianyan from Dongjiugu said, "The two battlefields of Hankou and Hanyang will add up to the top, and at least four regiments will be invested, with more than 13,000 imperial soldiers!"

"Hayi!"

...

In Chongqing, the commander-in-chief combat hall.

Principal Chang once again came to the commander-in-chief.

"For the Zhang!" President Chang asked Liu Sheng, "It's a situation in Wuhan now."

"Principal!" Liu Sheng replied with a serious expression, "The situation is not good!"

"The situation is not good?" Principal Chang's heart broke out and said, "Why is it not good?"

Liu Sheng said: "According to the information provided by the Wuhan Garrison Command, the strength of the Wuhan defenders is almost exhausted. As of this morning, the total number is less than 10,000 people!"

"What, there are less than 10,000 people!" Principal Chang's face changed drastically, "That means that Hankou and Hanyang are likely to be lost today, right?"

"Yes!" Liu Sheng said bitterly, "If nothing unexpected happens, Hankou and Hanyang will be lost today!"

After pausing, Liu Sheng sighed and said, "I have said a long time ago that unless a miracle happens, the three towns of Wuhan will never be able to defend it no matter what!"

President Chang immediately turned his attention to Bai Chong, the acting commander-in-chief of the Fifth War Zone, and said in a deep voice: "Jiansheng, if the Fifth War Zone counterattack now, how sure are you?"

Bai Chong frowned and said with grief: "The Fifth War Zone originally had 500,000 troops, but in the process of blocking the Japanese army's advance towards Wuhan, he lost at least 250,000. Now, after several months of reorganization, although the number of troops has recovered to 400,000, its combat effectiveness is very worrying. At this time, there is no confidence in the counterattack!"

Principal Chang turned his gaze to Chen Shi again and said in a deep voice: "What if the troops from the Ninth War Zone are added?"

"I'm still not sure!" Bai Chong said with grief, "Although there were 500,000 troops in the Ninth War Zone, it had dropped sharply to less than 200,000 troops after more than two months of fierce battle with Okamura's 11th Army on the Hunan-Jiangxi border, and it had to be guarded near the Tianjia Town Fortress, and there was no shortage of troops to come to Wuhan!"

Principal Chang's face completely collapsed, and he said in a deep voice: "Is there really nothing we can do?"

"Principal, I'm afraid yes." Liu Sheng replied helplessly, "We lost again in the battle of Wuhan."
