In the early morning, the sun had not yet risen, and the east was only slightly white, and the whole earth was white and full of mist.

The fog was so thick that it was impossible to see anything from a distance of about thirty meters.

When Liu Zhiyu got up and saw this scene, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

Although the fog caused some trouble for their siege, it was very beneficial for their plans.

After all, they are not attacking, and if they do, they may still have some trouble because of the fog, but they are just trying to get close to the city wall, which is very advantageous!

The fog can hide their bodies well, so that the Japanese troops in the city can not see clearly, and when they touch the area close to the city wall, they can dig trenches nearby, and when the sun rises in the morning and the fog is weaker, they can launch signal flares to let the city gate be opened.

It can be said that this fog is simply heavenly help for them!

"Haha, I really didn't expect it, this time, even God helped us!" Liu Zhiyu couldn't help laughing and said heartily.

Luo Cheng, who was next to him, also showed a smile when he saw this scene.

Yes, this time it's heaven's help!

"Tell me to go down and let the soldiers immediately follow the formation, under the leadership of commanders and fighters at all levels, approach Wuhan, dig trenches, and wait for the fog to dissipate!" Liu Zhiyu said in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

Several officers next to him all looked solemn when they heard this, and replied.

After a while, the entire seventh column stayed in the city and approached Wuhan City, less than 50 miles away, which was almost equivalent to a morning exercise, and in about two or three hours, they had already arrived.

At this time, it was only eight o'clock in the morning.

At this time, it was already winter, and the temperature was very low in the morning, and the hot air that the soldiers breathed out formed white smoke one after another, and the distance of nearly fifty miles came over, making all the soldiers sweat, and a faint white smoke and heat came out of their heads.

"Quick, the fog is about to clear, hurry up and build the bunker as soon as possible! Reach for the walls! The voices of the officers rang out one after another, and suddenly some of the soldiers began to build fortifications near the city walls with shovels, pickaxes and the like.

The digging outside the city was in full swing, but inside the city, all the Japanese soldiers were standing on the city wall, holding cold rifles, looking out of the city with a cautious face.

However, because of the fog, the little devil standing on the city wall couldn't see clearly at all, and could only hear the sound, but he couldn't see the specific location of the person, which made the little devil very angry.

"Yaga! Abominable weather! Captain Panasonic took the binoculars and looked at them carefully for a long time, but he couldn't see anything, and his anger suddenly rose.

A little devil next to him leaned over and said, "Your Excellency, what should we do now?" It seems that the Chinese army is digging trenches, and the situation is very unfavorable for us! ”

"Humph! What else can I do? Bombardment, of course! Panasonic snorted coldly, and then said, "How many cannons are there in the city?" ”

"We are a garrison brigade, less than the mortar of the field infantry brigade, and after Okamura Ninji dispatched the brigade to leave last time, he took all the shells and artillery in the city away, and we currently only have an artillery squad prepared by the brigade, and the combined shells of mortars and grenadiers are only more than two hundred rounds!" The little devil said in a deep voice.

"So little?" Matsushita frowned, a look of worry on her face.

With so few shells, it's not enough at all!

Not even half an hour of bombardment is enough!

This made them hold on for three days, how could they possibly hold on?

Panasonic was even more worried in his heart, but there was no other way at this time, he couldn't sit back and watch the other party unscrupulously dig there, so he could only say: "Take out half of the shells and fire the cannon below!" ”

After speaking, Panasonic said with some unease: "Remember, don't cover bombing, we don't have enough shells, try to find the traces of the Chinese army as much as possible, bomb purposefully, and maximize the role of the shells, understand?" ”

"Hey!" The officer nodded and went down.

By the time the officer left, there was even more worry on Matsushita's face.

insisted on three days, and he had no bottom in his heart at all.

What's more, because of the foggy weather, the Empire's fighters could not play their best, how to resist the attack of the Chinese army? He couldn't think of a good way.

"Alas!"

Panasonic sighed, shook his head, and secretly thought in his heart: "Right now, I can only take one step at a time......

Just as he was thinking like this, at this moment, a little devil soldier came over, saluted and said, "Your Excellency, Captain Liu, the head of the Imperial Cooperative Army, wants to see you!" ”

"Let him come!" Matsushita said.

The soldier nodded and left, and after a while, he walked over with the head of the security regiment, Liu.

"I've seen Captain Matsushita!" After Head Liu came over, he saw Panasonic, and hurriedly saluted, nodded and said.

"Liu Sang, now that the foggy weather is now, the situation is very unfavorable for us, what do you think?" Panasonic looked at the way Regiment Leader Liu nodded and bowed, and suddenly his heart moved and asked.

"Your Excellency Panasonic......" Regiment Leader Liu glanced outside the city, and then said: "In my opinion, these people are not to worry about at all!" ”

"Oh? How so? Panasonic was surprised and couldn't help asking.

"Although it is foggy weather now, it looks bad for us on the surface, but it is actually even more unfavorable for them!" Commander Liu said with some pride: "Right now, they are approaching our city wall through the fog, but when the fog clears, their shelter will disappear. ”

"As long as we can suppress them, then these enemies will be unable to advance or retreat, and we will be firmly pinned down here and unable to move, Captain Panasonic, just imagine, is it better for us to contain them under the city or let the enemy scatter and attack, and we are forced to defend well?"

"Of course, let's hold it back!" Matsushita said without the slightest hesitation.

After finishing speaking, he reacted and immediately said, "Liu Sang, what do you mean......"

"That's right, as long as we can firmly guard the city gate and prevent the other party from rushing in, then we can use the city wall to condescend and firmly contain them here, so that not to mention holding on for three days, with the imperial army and the imperial army in our city, even if it is supported for a week, it is not a problem at all!"

"Even, maybe we can inflict heavy damage on them during this time, and it's not impossible to even defeat them!"

Head Liu said with confidence.
