    Wuchang. Outside Binyang Gate.

    Although it is still broad daylight, there are not many pedestrians here, because everyone knows that this is the only way for the Japanese troops to enter the city from the Gedian direction, so ordinary people will automatically avoid this line whether they are entering or leaving the city.

    Standing on the city gate tower, Li Guoyao looked out at the city. The mountains and rivers were picturesque and beautiful.

    "But Li Guoyao's mood was not beautiful at all. It was really a shame for a soldier that such a great country was about to be trampled by the iron hoofs of the Japanese invaders.

    At this time, what Li Guoyao was thinking about was not the romance and the romantic talents, but the soldiers and civilians who were crying and running away in the smoke of war, and the people who were shivering under the Japanese bayonets.

    Over the past year or so, too many places in China have fallen. Shanghai, the Pearl of the Orient, Nanjing, the home of the tomb of the founding fathers, Peking, the former capital of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, each large and medium-sized city fell under the gunfire of the Japanese army and fell into the hands of the Japanese state.  Here, life was in ruins and the people were massacred.

    ¡°The fall of Wuhan is now a foregone conclusion, which deeply hurts Li Guoyao¡¯s heart, which has not lost its national spirit, especially for a great country.  So Li Guoyao made the decision. Even if he had to evacuate, he would still give the little devil an unforgettable lesson.

    At this moment, Chief of Staff Ma Desheng walked over quickly, came to Li Guoyao and said: "Military seat, we have investigated clearly. The little devil has passed Xindian, and there is only less than 20 kilometers left to Wuchang City. It is expected that  The leading troops will arrive at the city in two hours!"

    "Well, is the Second Regiment ready?"

    "It's ready. Xie Baojun personally led people to Jinji Mountain and built a blocking position there. However, they only have half a regiment of troops, while the Little Devils have a full regiment of troops, and there are also a large number of tanks and  Armored vehicles, they can't stop them for long!" Ma Desheng said.

    "I didn't expect them to hold off for long, two hours is enough!"

    "Two hours?"

    "Well, I just need the second regiment to buy us some time to arrange it!"

    "Military seat, it seems that you already have a plan in mind to annihilate the enemy?"

    "Um!"

    Then Li Guoyao pointed to the street behind the city gate and said: "Look at this street. This is the most prosperous Dongmen Street in Binyangmen. The street is wide and straight, with shops on both sides, and merchants gather here. If there is no war, there will be many people here every day.  Pedestrians rub shoulders with each other, but it¡¯s a pity that in a few hours this place will be reduced to a pile of ashes!¡±

    "War is so cruel, it is inevitable!" Ma Desheng said with a sigh.

    Li Guoyao shook his head and said: "Old Ma, you don't understand what I mean, I will destroy this place!"

    "Destroydestroy this place?" Ma Desheng asked with a puzzled look on his face.

    "I want to trade this Dongmen Street for the 60th Regiment, little devil!"

    "How do you change this?" Ma Desheng asked.

    "I will let the Second Regiment retreat while fighting, creating the illusion that our army is retreating, and then lure the main force of the 60th Regiment of the Little Japs to this Dongmen Street. Then I will plant nearly 400 tons of explosives on this street.  When the main force of the Japs arrives, they will be lit. What do you think will be the result?"

    Hearing Li Guoyao's words, Ma Desheng suddenly took a breath. With four hundred tons of explosives in one street, I'm afraid there won't even be a decent brick on the street after the explosion. As for the Japanese soldiers who rushed to the street, I'm afraid there won't be any left.  Next few.

    No wonder the army said that it wanted to exchange Dongmen Street for a regiment of little devils. Isn¡¯t that what it is? The street can¡¯t be saved, and the little devils can¡¯t even think about it. It¡¯s really a lose-lose tactic that is extremely cruel.

    "However, with the fall of Wuhan imminent, it can be regarded as waste utilization. Otherwise, after the little devils enter the city, all this place will fall into the hands of the little devils.

    "That's a good idea, military officer. I'm just a little worried that the 60th Regiment of the Japs may not all enter this street!" Ma Desheng said.

    "It doesn't matter, you can come as much as you can. As far as I know, the 60th Regiment has been fighting along the Yangtze River for a month. It has fought bloody battles with the Second Corps and the 94th Army. The strength of the unit is already seriously insufficient.  , As long as one-half of the Japanese soldiers can be killed, the remaining troops will not be afraid! At that time, I will keep them all in Wuhan City even if I fight with bayonets!" Li Guoyao said through gritted teeth.

    "Okay, let's do it!" Ma Desheng also said loudly.

    Then Li Guoyao took out a piece of paper from his pocket and said: "Old Ma, this is the topographic map of Dongmen Street. I drew the location of the blasting position on it. You and others will follow the points on the map immediately.  buriedUse all the explosives for me. I will get a large fireworks bomb for the little devils to celebrate for them!  "

    "yes!"

    Jiangbei. Opposite the Daijiashan position.

    The 23rd Japanese Regiment arrived here this morning. They were originally planning to cross the river and enter Hankou immediately, but found that the bridge over the Yangtze River had been blown up by the Chinese army.

    And because the equipment for crossing the river had not yet arrived, they were unable to cross the river for a while.

    Seeing that the city of Wuhan was right across the street, really within easy reach, Colonel Sano was so anxious that he immediately ordered his troops to raise ships on the spot. He wanted to take a fishing boat to cross the river and enter Hankou.

    There is no way, other troops have also arrived outside Wuhan, and now they know that the Chinese army has withdrawn from Wuhan. Even if there are not many defensive troops left, it can be said that whoever crosses the Yangtze River first will be the first.  Enter Wuhan City and win the first prize in this battle.

    As the main force of the Sixth Division, the 23rd Regiment still has a strong combat effectiveness. However, since the troops went south to attack Anqing, the 23rd Regiment has replenished its troops three times, and the number of dead and injured soldiers in its company has reached 2,300.  This is the first time in the history of the 23rd Regiment that there are multiple people.

    More importantly, the 23rd Regiment gained little after marching westward from Tianjia Town this time. Although Colonel Sano commanded the troops to intercept a defeated force in the Fifth Theater on the east side of Huangpi two days ago, due to the failure of Sano Regiment  The rapid assault immediately disrupted the retreating Chinese army.

    But when Colonel Sano looked at the defeated Chinese troops all over the mountains and plains, he didn't know what to do for a moment.  The various squadrons and squadrons were busy intercepting the defenders, and some were just waiting on the spot for no apparent reason. The Sano detachment itself was also in a state of disarray.

    It took most of the day for Colonel Sano to stabilize the troops again.  After arranging his troops, he gathered his troops and pursued westward, hoping to intercept more of the defeated Chinese troops. Only a dozen soldiers were left on the battlefield to guard nearly a thousand prisoners and dozens of captured field guns.

    But what Colonel Sano didn't expect was that when they were chasing the defeated Chinese troops, the soldiers who stayed behind were mutinied by prisoners of war. The Chinese captured officers and soldiers, led by a lieutenant colonel, broke into chaos and killed two guards.  The Japanese soldiers blew up dozens of artillery pieces and then fled to the mountains to the north.

    In that battle, Sano could obviously create a miracle, but in the end it was all in vain. This made Colonel Sano full of resentment, so much so that he wanted to be the first to attack Wuhan City and win the first prize.  ª£

    In order to raise ferries, Colonel Sano sent troops to search various ferry terminals along the north bank of the Yangtze River. All fishing boats, cargo ships, and sand dredgers encountered were requisitioned.

    In less than half a day, he was stunned to collect more than thirty ships.

    After all the ships arrived at the north shore of Daijiashan, Colonel Sano immediately ordered people to make simple modifications to all the ships. Many sandbags were placed on them as bunkers, and light and heavy machine guns were also set up.

    After doing this, Colonel Sano immediately ordered the troops to board the ship immediately, and then before the sun set, artillery units and light weapons formed covering firepower to strengthen the Yangtze River on the Daijiashan line, preparing to attack Hankou.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
