After reading Yu Zhiqian’s introduction, Yu Chengwan looked at the distance on the map, paced back and forth, pointed his finger at Chongqing, and finally shook his head: “In Chongqing, it’s impossible. There is still a long distance. They are isolated and helpless. Don't dare to enter! But!"
Having said that, Yu Cheng Wan paused and pointed to Changsha: "The little devil has failed to attack Changsha three times. They have never given up. This time they used smoke bombs to confuse us and seem to attack the Yuxianggui area. Actually, The target is still here! Changsha!"
"To win Changde is to give the Japanese an initiative on the way to attack Changsha. Entering Wuzhou and other areas that can constantly harass Changsha surrounding Changsha, retreat can resist Yuanjiang defense!" Yu Chengwan's eyes burst out with an astonishing light. Look to your own staff: "Now you immediately give power to the headquarters. The Japanese invaders actually attacked Changde on the grounds of attacking the Henan, Hunan and Guizhou areas. If Changde is lost, Changsha will not be protected. Hope to support them quickly!"
After speaking, he looked to another staff member: "The 169, 170, 171, and 172 regiments are ready to fight at any time. Beware of the kid's sneak attack!"
"Yes!"
Soon, the entire 57th Division began to get busy. After Yu Zhigan saw this scene, he was a little relieved. During the historical battle of Changde, Yu Chengwan continued until the Japanese began to attack Changde on a large scale. react.
The Japanese soldiers pressed the border, and several important city gates in Changde soon fell one after another. This resulted in subsequent disadvantages. If the city gates can be maintained for a while and a few more fortifications can be built in the city, perhaps Changde can hold more. time.
"You are worthy of intelligence, and you can see the key to the problem at a glance!" Yu Chengwan took out a cigarette and gave it to Yu Zhiqian. Although there was a worried expression on his face, he was slightly relaxed.
"Yes, this is our duty!"
After speaking, Yu Zhigan took out his camera: "General, can I take a picture of you?"
"Take a picture? Yes! Come, come, come here if everything is fine, we Captain Yu will take a photo for everyone!
Several staff officers on standby ran over immediately, Yu Zhigan took out his camera, and Yu Chengwan looked around: "The light is so dim now? Can you shoot it?"
"It's okay. New camera, don't worry!" After speaking, he turned on the flash, signaled everyone to be ready, and pulled the trigger.
After taking photos of some people separately, Yu Zhiqian was placed in a separate room next to the headquarters. After sending Yu Zhiqian back to the house, he hurried back to his military camp.
On the first day, I fought a low-intensity battle. I saw General Yu Chengwan, a group of lovely people, and the appearance of the country during the Republic of China.
In the Republic of China, Changde was regarded as a land of fish and rice. It was an important grain-producing area. However, I saw some people who had not had time to run out here. They were also a little yellow and thin. There were also soldiers. The 57th Division was considered elite soldiers, but Many soldiers are very thin and can't see elite shadows.
This is a time of suffering, and a great nation is slowly awakening.
At night, at twelve o'clock, around the Changde city wall, a group of soldiers moved the bullets and weapons from the Japanese corpses on the ground along the hanging baskets placed on the city wall. Although the battle has not yet started, 50 The Seventh Division is fairly adequate in terms of ammunition, but these soldiers who have experienced countless battlefields know what it means to be prepared for a rainy day.
Yu Zhiqian was a little awake. After putting on his clothes and holding a weapon, he hid the backpack and was about to take a walk on the street. The current Changde is basically ten rooms and empty. At night, there are no people except the soldiers on patrol. shadow.
After walking about two hundred meters from the headquarters, Yu Zhiqian saw the faint light coming out, so he walked slowly and curiously, and saw a noodle figure hanging in front of an old-fashioned building. It should be It is a noodle restaurant.
"welcome!"
Pushing open the door, I saw a traditional tavern with a few square tables, a few benches, and a small stove in the middle. A gray-haired old man was standing in front of the counter, smoking the old-fashioned When he saw someone entering the door, he immediately put down the cigarette load and looked at Yu Zhigan.
"Boss, what do you have to eat?"
The boss turned around and pointed to the sign hanging at the back: "Master, the food in the city has been tense recently. Only Yangchun noodles and egg noodles are the only ones left, and there are some drinks!"
"No need, just a portion of egg noodles!"
After Yu Zhiqian finished speaking, he was ready to pay the bill, but found embarrassingly that he did not have the currency of the Republic of China, and coughed softly: "Um, boss, no more, I didn't bring any money!"
"No money, the little devil is about to call, what money do I need!"
After speaking, he walked slowly to the back kitchen, and Yu Zhigan looked at the noodle restaurant. It seemed that it was definitely old, and he might have sent away a few old men.
More than ten minutes later, the boss came over with the noodles and placed them next to Yu Zhigan. Yu Zhigan looked at it: "Does the boss have garlic?"
"No, but do you want spicy food?"
"Come on!"
"Okay, wait!"
The noodles of this era are very generous. In a large porcelain bowl, Yu Zhiqian took a big bite with his chopsticks, only feeling comfortable all over.
"Boss, the people in the city have all moved, why don't you leave?"
The boss knocked his cigarette lightly and said, "Sir, where are you going? My original home was in Beijing. Later, the little devil came and ran to Changsha. Two years ago, Changsha fought and came here again. This shop used to be able to walk, but now it’s old, can’t walk, and don’t want to go anymore. If the little devil dares to come, I’ll have to replace this old bone after I’ve finished it!" An old rifle was taken out from behind.
"Boss, what about your family?"
When Yu Zhiqian heard the boss tell the story, he immediately slowed down the speed of eating noodles and listened carefully.
"My wife was blown to death by the Japanese on the way to escape. Both sons were sent to serve as soldiers. The eldest son died in Changsha a few years ago. He was already a deputy platoon commander when he died. He wrote to me saying kill. I took revenge on his mother for two little devils. The younger son was sent to serve as a soldier last year. No, I have been away for almost a year, and there has been no news!"
After Yu Zhiqian heard this, he stood up and saluted the boss. The boss grinned and said, "Sir, don’t be like this. I can’t bear it. I’m old and useless. I just hope. You will get rid of the little devil who has suffered a thousand swords sooner, and let us live a good life sooner!"
"Don't worry, it will definitely happen!"
The boss nodded, sat on the rocking chair, closed his eyes, and began to hum a little Beijing song, which was very charming, maybe he was homesick. (End of this chapter)
