Half an hour later, in Nanjing.
The commander of the Central China Front Army, Shunroku Hata, got up early and met up with the commander of the Eleventh Army, Okamura Neiji, who had returned to Nanjing to report on his duties, for a walk along the Yangtze River.
More than seven months have passed, and Nanjing has gradually returned to its old order.
But some things can never go back to the past!
For example, those responsible for order in Nanjing at this time are no longer the Chinese police, but the Japanese military police!
Shunroku Hata walked in front with his hands behind his back, and said as he walked: "Okamura-kun, have you read the battle report that the Second Army just sent from Wuhan this morning?"
"Hai!" Neji Okamura paused and said, "I've already seen it."
Hata Shunroku nodded, and then asked: "What do you think about this?"
Okamura Neiji pondered for a moment and said: "General, to be honest, the battle to capture Wuhan was more difficult than I expected!"
"Yes." Shunroku Hata said with a sigh, "After destroying the Hankou Railway Station and the fortresses on Turtle Mountain and Snake Mountain, I originally thought that the next battle to capture Wuhan would be overwhelming, but I didn't expect that it would end up like this. Look like this! Not only did they fail to achieve their intention of occupying Wuhan in a short time, but they paid a heavy price!"
After a pause, Shunroku Hata added: "And judging from the current situation, the Wuhan battle is likely to end in a stalemate!"
Okamura Neiji was silent for another moment and said: "General, your Excellency, China is too big for the empire!"
"Yes, China is too big!" Shunroku Hata shook his head and said, "It would be even harder for the empire to swallow up China in one go! Those young people in the military are too impatient!"
"Hai!" Okamura Neiji paused and said, "Those young staff officers in the military department lacked a basic understanding of China and rashly formulated a plan to destroy China in three months. It is simply child's play."
"But the matter has come to this, we can only bite the bullet and continue to fight!" Shunroku Hata sighed, and then asked, "Okamura-kun, how many days do you think it will take for the Second Army to take Hankou? ?¡±
Okamura Neji shook his head and said: "General, I'm afraid you are too optimistic."
"Too optimistic?" Shunroku Hata said sternly, "Okamura-kun, what do you mean?"
Okamura Neji said: "General, I wonder if you have noticed that in the counterattack early this morning, the casualty ratio between the Chinese Army and the Imperial Army was two to one. This is unprecedented!"
Shunroku Hata frowned and said, "It's just a battle, so what's the problem?"
Okamura Neiji replied: "This is a signal that after a long period of high-intensity marching and fighting, the officers and soldiers of the Second Army are exhausted and their combat effectiveness has declined significantly! On the contrary, the China Army is here Over the years, we have made great progress through many battles with the imperial army!"
After a slight pause, Okamura Neiji continued: "So, General, I suggest you immediately order the Second Army to suspend the attack on Hankou and retreat to Xiaogan to rest! Wait until the weather gets colder at the end of September and early October, and cooperate with our Tenth Army It will not be too late for the first army to attack Wuhan at the same time."
Hata Shunroku said solemnly: "Okamura-kun, are you worried that the Second Army will be defeated by the China Army?"
After a pause, Shunroku Hata continued: "The Second Army has six main divisions, of which four divisions are gathered just outside Hankou City. Are Okamura-kun's words a bit alarmist?"
"Hai!" Neji Okamura paused and said, "I hope so."
Shunroku Hata fell into silence for a long time.

The main hall of the Five Prisons Palace, Hankou Headquarters.
Li Lianggang pointed at the sand table with the command pole in his hand and explained to Zhong Yi, Zhu Liangcheng and Stilwell: "Half an hour ago, all 60,000 rounds of artillery shells had been transported to the train station, Wudang Palace and the front line of the racecourse. The independent engineering corps' The officers and soldiers are seizing the time to convert all these artillery shells into landmines!"
After a pause, Li Lianggang continued: "But in order to perfectly realize the purpose of attending, I'm afraid we need the full cooperation of the 367th Brigade, the Guard Brigade and the Special Agent Brigade!"
Zhong Yi said: "How do we need to cooperate?"
"The first thing is time." Li Lianggang said without thinking, "First change the artillery shells into mines, then camouflage and lay out pipelines, all of which take time!"
Zhu Liangcheng asked: "How long will it take?"
Li Lianggang said: "At least four hours!"
"No problem!" Zhu Liangcheng said solemnly, "No one will bother the engineering corps before ten o'clock! At least until we are 36This is the direction of the train station that Brigade 7 is responsible for! "
Zhong Yi said to Zhang Shi: "Commander Zhang, inform the security brigade and the secret service brigade to hold the existing defense line at all costs. The Japanese must not be allowed to enter the core urban area before ten o'clock in the morning!"
"Yes!" Zhang Shiliang turned around and went to convey the order to the guard brigade and the special agent brigade.
Li Lianggang continued: "Sixty thousand rounds of artillery shells sounds like a lot, but if they are scattered throughout the battlefield, it is actually not many. Therefore, in order to cause greater damage as much as possible, these 60,000 rounds of artillery shells must be buried in modified landmines. In the narrow area, to be specific, it is along the line of Taiping Lane, Tiren Lane and Xiongjia Lane!"
"Taiping Lane, Tiren Lane and Xiongjia Lane?" Zhu Liangcheng said, "This is the end line yesterday!"
"Yes!" Li Lianggang nodded and said, "This requires the full cooperation of the 367th Brigade, the Guard Brigade and the Special Agent Brigade. They must stand firm in Taiping Lane, Tiren Lane and Xiongjia Lane for at least half an hour. Only in this way can the Japanese troops be attracted over and then detonated. Landmines can cause the greatest damage!"
Zhu Liangcheng said: "If this is the case, Taiping Lane, Tiren Lane and Xiongjia Lane will almost be razed to the ground!"
Zhong Yi said: "If it can be exchanged for the annihilation of at least three Japanese infantry regiments, and thousands of houses along Taiping Lane, Tiren Lane and Xiongjia Lane are razed to the ground, what's the harm?"
After a pause, Zhong Yi told Li Lianggang again: "Consultant Li, I remind you again that the modified mines must be disguised and buried deep in the ruins to avoid being discovered by the Japanese!"
"Don't worry!" Li Lianggang said solemnly, "We will try our best to disguise ourselves!"
"Okay, then go and do your work!" Zhong Yi said, "The 367th Brigade, the Guard Brigade and the Special Agent Brigade will fully cooperate!"
"Yes!" Li Lianggang stood at attention, saluted Zhong Yi with a military salute, then turned around and walked out of the hall.
Watching Li Lianggang's figure go away, Stilwell withdrew his gaze and said to Zhong Yi: "Zhong, I can't wait to see the result of this battle this morning! I believe that Dong Jiuregong Nianyan will definitely win this time I got my ass kicked hard by you!"
Zhong Yi did not speak, but turned his head and looked to the northwest. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
