The small-scale exploratory attack ended, and then the Japanese army began shelling again.
However, this time the bombardment was extremely targeted. It was no longer a covering bombardment of the entire urban area of ??Hankou, but concentrated firepower on the left and right wings of the urban area of ??Hankou!
The bombing lasted for half an hour!
Immediately afterwards, two squads of infantry pounced menacingly again.
There was no suspense in the result. They were attacked head-on by the Guard Brigade and the Secret Service Brigade. Of the more than a hundred Japanese from the two attacking teams, not one of them was able to escape alive!
¡¡
?? Observation post on Fenghe Mountain.
Seeing that two more infantry squads were completely wiped out, Tsubujiagui's face darkened instantly.
Shinozuka Yoshio's face was still expressionless, and he said calmly: "I don't care about you, as I said just now, don't pay too much attention to the casualties. There is a famous old saying in China, kindness does not lead an army. Its general meaning is , if you are too kind, you cannot become a good commander, you have to learn to be cold!"
"Hai!" Di Bujiagui nodded and said, "I have learned a lesson from my humble position."
Yoshio Shinozuka added: "Although three infantry squads and more than 150 Imperial Army soldiers were sacrificed, their sacrifices were not worthless. At least, they helped us figure out one fact, that is, the enemy in the middle The Chinese army has built solid bunker fortifications at the train station and on the left and right wings of this butterfly-shaped urban area!"
"Hai!" Di Bujiagui said again with a worried look on his face, "At present, it seems that the China Army is well prepared. The preparations they have made in Wuhan are far better than those in Shanghai, Nanjing and Xuzhou before. Full! It can be foreseen that this time in Wuhan, there will be an unprecedented cruel and large-scale fierce battle!"
"Yoshi!" Yoshio Shinozuka said happily, "That's right."
After a pause, Yoshio Shinozuka continued: "The China Army has built bunkers in the middle and on both wings, so now there are only two waists left. I don't believe they can build bunkers all over the north of Hankou! Pass me Order, the 10th Infantry Regiment immediately launch an attack on the waist and ribs on both sides!"
"Hai!" Di Bujiagui nodded again.

Hanyang Guishan Fortress, Yu Palace Observation Post.
Panting, Stilwell reached the top floor and complained to Zhong Yi in English: "General Zhong, you are so uninteresting. You leave me at the headquarters every time you go out!"
Zhong Yi responded with a wry smile: "Colonel, it's too dangerous here!"
"Danger?" Stilwell said, "You Chinese soldiers are not afraid of danger, so are we American soldiers afraid? Don't forget that I am just a combat consultant under you now!"
Zhong Yi slandered, who the hell dares to use you as a consultant?
But on the surface, Zhong Yi smiled and apologized: "Saori, it's my fault!"
Stilwell spread his hands, walked to Zhong Yi, and asked: "How is the situation now?"
Sun Liren replied: "The Japanese army has just launched two exploratory attacks on Hankou, both of which were easily defeated by our army. However, they are not without gains. At least they already know that the train station in the middle and the two wing tips have strong bunker fortifications." , so if nothing else happens, we should attack the two waists next!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Japanese army shelled Hankou again.
As mentioned before, the shape of Hankou's urban area is like a butterfly. The head of the butterfly is facing north, which is the train station. The shape of the entire urban area is like wings spreading diagonally to the left and right sides, with the tail facing Sanjiangkou. !
The position where the Japanese army is shelling now is the middle of the front edges of the two wings!
Looking at the thick smoke rising from the urban area of ??Hankou, Stilwell also raised his binoculars, observing the Japanese artillery positions, and asked: "Why don't you respond to the Japanese artillery fire?"
Sun Liren replied helplessly: "It's out of range!"
"Out of range?" Stilwell said in surprise, "Isn't it right? Although the diameter of the m1918 155mm howitzer is only 15 times, its range still reaches 12 kilometers. The Japanese artillery position is at least 20 kilometers away, but their The attack position is up to nine kilometers away from here, and artillery fire can be completely covered!"
Sun Liren spread his hands and said: "To achieve the maximum range, the elevation angle is 45 degrees. However, in order to avoid the bombing of Japanese bombers, our cannons can only be hidden in the fortress, so the elevation angle is greatly limited, and it can only hit eight kilometers away at most! However, As long as the Japanese troops come out of their attack positions, our large-caliber heavy artillery will be within reach!"
"Really?" Stilwell said, "It seems that the other side??The Japanese commander is also a seasoned commander! Have a clear understanding of the long-range artillery firepower of both sides! "
Zhong Yi said: "Yoshio Shinozuka is indeed an extremely difficult opponent!"
"Yoshio Shinozuka?" Stilwell raised his telescope again.
While talking, the Japanese shelling ended. This shelling only lasted less than a quarter of an hour!
Immediately afterwards, the Japanese army once again dispatched two infantry squads to launch tentative attacks on the two flanks on the north side of Hankou city.
The Japanese attack position was ten kilometers away from Guishan Fortress, but only two kilometers away from the edge of Hankou city.
After a while, the two attacking Japanese squads were already close to the edge of Hankou city. There was a city wall left from the Qing Dynasty on the northern edge of Hankou city, but it has now been almost demolished by the national army.
The dismantled city bricks were used to repair forts and strengthen private houses.
"God!" Stilwell's telescopic vision swept across the shattered city wall, and he couldn't help but ask, "General Zhong, a solid city wall is an excellent defense, why do you want to tear it down?"
"If the Japanese army does not have large-caliber heavy artillery or tanks, the city wall is indeed an excellent fortification!" Zhong Yi nodded and said, "But if the Japanese army has heavy artillery or tanks, the city wall is not enough! As soon as the Japanese army comes over with a shell, it will We can knock down the city wall and our soldiers will be buried alive!¡±
Sun Liren continued: "What's even more disadvantageous is that deploying troops and firepower on top of the city can easily be targeted by Japanese artillery or tanks. This is simply a suicidal act!"
When Stilwell heard this, a thin layer of cold sweat suddenly broke out on his forehead.
While the three people were talking, the attacking Japanese troops had already rushed to the city wall, then easily crossed the various gaps in the city wall, and successfully broke into the urban area of ??Hankou!
This is also the first time the Japanese army broke into Hankou!
The Japanese second lieutenant who led the team was very excited. He immediately took out a day seal flag from his bag, found a bamboo pole to pick up the day seal flag, and then climbed along the incomplete and damaged city wall to the top of the city more than ten meters high.
"The Japanese Empire is on board!" The Japanese second lieutenant waved the Japanese flag in his hand vigorously, hysterical roars filled the entire city wall inside and outside, and more than fifty Japanese soldiers below also shouted hysterically.
