According to historical records, Fujita Jin was an extremely stereotyped Japanese general and basically didn't know how to adapt!

During the Battle of Shanghai, an infantry squad leader of the 39th Infantry Regiment accidentally discovered that a small alley could directly lead to the Chinese defenders. The Chief of Staff at that time suggested a sneak attack from the small alley, but was severely scolded by Fujita Jin. Fujita Jin believed that the war should be decided to win the battle with a dignified and should not engage in conspiracy!

As a result, the 11th Division had already reached Luodian, but the 3rd Division could not even break through the Jiangwan defense line! Matsui Ishikan was so angry that he reported to be dismissed, but because Fujita Jin had a deep background, it was left unresolved!

Then, according to Fujita's old-fashioned personality, he will definitely attack the Kameyama Fortress first!

Moreover, Fujita Jin is mostly disdainful of using tricks like Yoshio Shinozuka, and will definitely attack head-on! This may be an opportunity for Sun Liren's anti-smuggling corps!

...

When Zhong Yi was standing at the observation room of the Yuwang Palace and observing the movements of the Japanese army, Fujita Jin also took Saito Masaru and rode the air balloon of the meteorological observation team and rose to a height of 100 meters!

Standing at a height of 100 meters, you can see clearly than on Turtle Mountain!

Through the telescope's vision, Fujitaji not only saw the entire Guishan Mountain and the entire Hanyang urban area, but also Hankou on the east bank of the Han River and Wuchang on the other side of the Yangtze River!

Fujita Jin first set his sights on the Hankou city on the east bank of the Han River!

But the 10th Division dispatched about half an infantry squad, divided into three combat groups, and launched an attack on the railway station in the middle and the fortresses on both wings.

However, under the dense machine gun fire of the defenders, more than 20 imperial soldiers who attacked were quickly piled up and could not even reach the fifty-meter range of the defenders' bunkers, let alone blowing up the bunkers!

Fujita Jin said disdainfully: "Yoshino Shinozuka is like this. He always shrank his hands and feet in war. No wonder he has been fighting for so many days, but he has not even touched the edge of Hankou city!"

Saito Masaru didn't know how to answer the conversation.

He knew that the Battle of Hankou was not as simple as it seemed!

Moreover, Yoshio Shinozuka is quite capable of fighting among the commanders of the Second Army!

After a pause, Fujita said again: "Our Third Division cannot learn from their 10th Division!"

"Hayi!" Saito Masarei could only pause his head and then said in Fujita's tone, "The division commander Mingjian, the 10th Division's tactics are indeed a bit too conservative!"

"Yo Xi!" Fujita said again, "Saito, where do you think we should fight first?"

Saito Masaru pointed to Guishan and said, "The artillery position built by the Chinese army on Guishan pointing to Hankou, but the Hanyang city on the back of the mountain is not covered by its coverage. That is to say, if the Imperial Army attacks Hanyang city, it will not be attacked by the Guishan Fortress artillery group, but only needs to face the Snake Mountain Fortress artillery group on the other side of the river!"

Hearing this, Fujita's brows immediately frowned.

At that moment, Fujita Jin asked unhappily: "What do you mean is to attack Hanyang City?"

"Hayi!" Saito Masarei did not change his statement because Fujita Jin was unhappy, and said again, "I thought it was easy to start and then difficult. First, seize Hanyang and remove the threat from both sides, and then focus on attacking Kameshan! Otherwise, we must always beware of the threat from Hanyang!"

"You are wrong." Fujita Jin retorted, "Attacking Hanyang, don't you have to be wary of the threat from Kameyama?"

After a moment of pause, Fujita Jin said again: "Start an attack directly on Hanyang city. Not only should we beware of the threat from Guishan Fortress, but we should also face the machine gun fire from Guishan Fortress. Haven't you seen that the Chinese army built many bunkers on the western foot of Guishan Mountain, and the entire Hanyang city is in the shooting range of these bunkers!"

Saito Masaru said: "But if you attack directly at Kameyama, you will also have to withstand the machine gun fire from the bunkers on the mountain. The key is that the mountain is steep, not only is it difficult to deploy troops, but the chariot troops cannot participate in the war!"

"Baga!" Fujita Jin said furiously when he heard this, "Without a chariot, wouldn't you go to war?"

"Hayi!" Seeing Fujita getting angry, Masaru Saito could only shut up and stop saying more.

After a pause, Fujita Jin continued, "Also, the most important reason why I decided to attack Guishan first is that, as long as I destroy the Guishan Fortress, it is equivalent to destroying the entire defense system established by the Chinese army in Wuhan, and the subsequent wars will become much easier!"

"Hayi!" Saito Masaru could only pause his head.

You have said that, what else can I say?

Fujita Jin continued to ask, "Saito, if you attack Kameyama, what do you think you should fight?"

Saito Masaru paused his head and replied: "The eastern foot of the Guishan Mountain is facing the Han River. Although the terrain is steeper, if you can get the support of the navy, Huyi thought he should still launch an attack from the eastern foothills!"

"Navy?" Fujita said sneered, "the navy is still blocked east of Madang and cannot be counted on."

"Then you can only attack from the northern foot of Guishan Mountain!" Saito Masaru said again, "Because if you attack from the western foot of Guishan Mountain, the Imperial Army will expose the Chinese defenders in Hanyang City behind! As for the southern foot of Guishan Mountain, because there is a gap between Guishan Mountain and it will be attacked by the defenders of the Snake Mountain Fortress on the other side of the Yangtze River, there is no need to consider it!"

After pausing, Saito Masaru said again: "But there is a disadvantage in attacking from the northern foothills!"

"Oh?" Fujita Jin asked softly, "Saito-kun, what are the disadvantages?"

Saito Masae said: "The terrain of the northern foot of the Guishan Mountain is the steepest and narrow, so it is difficult to deploy troops! If there are too many troops invested in the attack, it is easy to squeeze into a group and be killed and injured by the defending machine gun fire!"

"It's the northern foothill!" Fujita said, "As for the narrow terrain you mentioned, it's not a problem. The terrain of the Lushun Fortress back then was even narrower than this, so didn't the Imperial Army take it down in the end?"

"Hayi!" Saito Masaru paused his head and said no more.

...

Observation Office of the Palace of King Yu.

Stilwell put down his telescope and said to Zhong Yi: "Zhong, where do you think the Japanese army will attack first?"

Zhong Yi smiled slightly and said, "There is no doubt that the Japanese Third Division will definitely attack Guishan first!"

"Guishan?" Stilwell shook his head and said, "I don't think so. I think the Japanese army should attack Hanyang first, because attacking Guishan is not a wise choice."

Zhong Yi said: "Attacking Guishan may not be a wise choice, but it is the most threatening choice!"

"The most threatening option?" Stilwell asked blankly, "What does it mean? I don't understand."

"I mean very simple." Zhong Yi smiled, "As long as I capture Guishan and destroy Guishan Fortress, the entire defense system I have worked hard in Wuhan for several months will be destroyed!"
