"ah?"

"What?"

"Don't be cowardly, just do it when you go up?"

Liu Yuanlin, Shi Zude and Zhou Erzi looked at each other.

Zhu Liangcheng grinned when he heard this. He had already adapted to Zhong Yi's style.

"Okay, then do it!" Feng Yuxiang admired this very much, nodded and asked, "So, how can I reply to the commander?"

"Just reply like this." Zhong Yi said, "One word, do it!"

"What?" Feng Yuxiang frowned, "Is it okay to reply like this?"

"Nothing bad!" Zhong Yi grinned and continued, "The word "Dan" is simple and direct, but it deeply expresses the will of all the officers and soldiers of our Wuhan Garrison District. It can be said to be concise and to the point, one word is worth a thousand yuan, closely following the theme! In addition, it is finished with an exclamation mark, which can be regarded as the finishing touch and has a profound artistic conception!"

"Puchi!" Liu Yuanlin and Shi Zude couldn't help laughing when they heard this.

However, after laughing, the two of them immediately looked helpless again.

Feng Yuxiang also held his forehead with his hands. Not to mention anything else, just being able to calm down before the battle, and even having the mood to joke about such concentration is beyond the reach of ordinary people!

However, the next moment, Feng Yuxiang was also infected by Zhong Yi, and a sense of pride surged in his heart.

Yes, just three fortresses were destroyed, and they were so scared like this? It was a shame to say that his party and country's top general was not as brave as a young general!

Feng Yuxiang said at the moment: "Okay, just reply!"

"Okay!" Zhong Yi nodded and continued, "Now I will talk about how to adjust the defense deployment."

Zhu Liangcheng, Liu Yuanlin, Shi Zude and Zhou Erzi immediately cheered up. Feng Yuxiang also took out a small notebook and prepared to take notes. He was finally about to get to the point.

Zhong Yi said: "Because the fortress of Hankou Railway Station was structurally damaged and the possibility of repair was lost in a short period of time, so it could only start self-destruction and detonate the preset explosives to completely blow it up in order to prevent the Japanese from using the fortifications in the railway station as a breakthrough point and break into the underground fortifications."

A large number of underground fortifications were also excavated in the renovation and reinforcement projects of private houses in Hankou, Hanyang, and Wuchang.

These underground fortifications are connected to various fortresses through tunnels. Therefore, if the Japanese were allowed to enter the tunnel from the fortress corridor, they could launch an attack from the surface and underground at the same time, which is definitely not a good thing for the national army.

That's why the ruins of the railway station fortress were blown up.

After a pause, Zhong Yi said again: "But before detonating, don't forget to transfer the military supplies stockpiled in the railway station fortress warehouse."

Zhu Liangcheng said in a deep voice: "Yes!"

Zhong Yi turned his eyes to Liu Yuanlin and Shi Zude again, and said: "After losing the support of long-range artillery fire from Guishan and Snake Mountain Fortresses, the Japanese cannons can shoot directly at the fortresses on the left and right wings of the city, so these two fortresses have no great defensive value. You go back and prepare to carry out blasting!"

"Ah?" Liu Yuanlin and Shi Zude looked at each other and blew up the fortresses on both wings of the city?

If the fortresses on both wings are also blown up, wouldn’t it mean that their guard brigade and spy brigade have no defensive support?

Then the battles that followed would be even harder to fight!

Now even Zhu Liangcheng couldn't understand it and asked, "Zi Ren, the fortress on both wings has not suffered structural damage, why did it also blow it up? What a pity?"

Zhong Yi said: "Do you plan to leave it to the Japanese if you don't blow up the fortress?"

After a pause, Zhong Yi continued, "Have you ever thought about what would happen if the Japanese were allowed to occupy these two fortresses?"

Zhu Liangcheng said in a deep voice: "Once the Japanese are allowed to occupy two fortresses, they will have two extremely solid footholds on the left and right wings of the city. It will not only be more convenient when launching an attack on the city, but also better defense when facing our counterattack. This is equivalent to locking the left and right wings of the city!"

"It seems you know very well?" Zhong Yi said again, "Then I will ask you again, can we still defend the fortress on both wings in this situation?"

Zhu Liangcheng said: "I'm afraid I can't hold on."

Zhong Yi said: "It's not that I'm afraid I can't hold on, but I will definitely not be able to hold on!"

Liu Yuanlin said: "Even if this is the case, you don't have to blow it up right away, right?"

Shi Zude also said: "Yes, it's not too late to blow up again when the Japanese enter the fortress? In this case, at least a few Japanese can take the back of the fortress!"

"Did I say that I'm going to explode right away?" Zhong Yi said, "I just want you to prepare for the explosion! As for the timing of the detonation, you can control it yourself, but remember that before the Japanese break into the fortress, you must blow it up! In short, no matter what, these two fortresses cannot fall into the hands of the Japanese intact."

"Yes!" Liu Yuanlin and Shi Zude stood at attention and responded in unison.

"Okay, let's talk about the city's defense next!" After Zhong Yi said that, he turned his attention to Zhou Erzi and said, "Captain Zhou, your police corps will retreat to Wuchang immediately."

"Yes!" Zhou Erzi stood attentively and responded loudly.

Feng Yuxiang said: "Zi Ren, Hankou is facing a large-scale attack from the Japanese and has lost the screen of the fortress. Why are you drawing troops from Hankou instead?"

Zhong Yi shook his head and said, "The main seat, Hankou city has a limited area, and it is already the limit to accommodate three brigades. There was originally a railway station fortress that could accommodate 367 brigades, but now the railway station fortress has been destroyed, leaving four brigades a little crowded, and it is easy to be killed by Japanese artillery fire and aviation bombs. It would be unfavorable to leave too many troops at this time."

Although Wuhan in this era is also a big city, it is still different from Nanjing.

After all, Nanjing is the capital of the Republic of China, with a permanent population of more than 1 million, and the urban area is also very large, which is more than enough to accommodate 300,000 troops.

In contrast, Wuhan's urban area is much smaller and is divided into three parts by the Han River. Each town can accommodate a very limited number of troops.

For example, Hankou Town, which accommodates more than 20,000 people in three main brigades, is basically saturated.

Although Feng Yuxiang was an old soldier, he understood as soon as Zhong Yi said that.

Feng Yuxiang nodded and said, "That's right. Fortunately, the Japanese Navy will not be able to attack Wuhan for a while. Once the troops in Hankou are severely reduced, they can also be replenished from Hanyang and Wuchang."

Zhong Yi nodded and said, "In addition, I guess the Japanese will focus on attacking Hankou next, so the ammunition consumption of the Hankou defenders will definitely be far greater than that of the Hanyang and Wuchang defenders!"

After a pause, Zhong Yi said again: "In addition, the arsenal is located in Wuchang and Hanyang, so I decided to transfer part of the ammunition reserves in Wuchang and Hanyang to Hankou!"

Feng Yuxiang said: "Will it be too early to draw now?"

Zhong Yi said: "It is better to be early than late!"
