"The Japanese bomber is here again!"
A hoarse roar came from among the ruins. Some soldiers who were fighting quickly withdrew from the position, looking for shelter to hide themselves.
The morning sun brought not boundless hope and vitality, but death, icy death. The battle of Changde has been fought for ten days. Within ten days, did the Japanese have fought at least twenty times? Thirty large-scale shelling and bombing.
The entire Changde city is now in ruins. Now, there is no complete building in the city. The headquarters also moved three times, and finally moved to a basement of the Central Bank.
In the eastern sky, small black spots appeared. This is a Japanese fighter. During this time, how many ammunition the Japanese dropped in Changde City, no one has ever counted. Yu Zhiqian's mind, the explosion sound It never stopped.
Eight thousand Kuomintang defenders, how many people still survive, no one knows. There is only one guard company around Yu Chengwan’s headquarters, which adds up to less than two hundred people. Others may lie in the ruins, or maybe some The place continues to fight.
Yokoyama was very anxious. Ever since he intercepted the KMT army’s telegram because he bit too much, the KMT army was ready to fight to the death, and immediately slowed down the pace of the offensive, but for two days, Yokoyama deliberately let his army Some flaws were leaked to the Chinese army, and the pace of the offensive was slowed down, but the Chinese army still did not retreat.
It wasn't until this time that Yokoyama realized that he might have been deceived. After a wing of the 116th Division was attacked and killed by the Chinese army, the Chinese army may have deciphered the Chinese army's telegram by himself.
After thinking about it, Yokoyama Yong immediately gave the order of a general attack without hesitation. The artillery fire fell in the city of Changde like rain, and the Japanese army once again launched a large-scale attack on Changde.
At least 30,000 Japanese soldiers swarmed into the city of Changde, but under the command of Yu Chengwan, the Changde defenders were broken into pieces. They no longer care about the gains and losses of a piece of land with the Japanese, but engage in various harassment. Tactics.
When the Japanese were attacking a crossroad, a small Kuomintang army could suddenly emerge from behind, attacking their ass, and then fled.
If the Japanese sent a large army to pursue it, this group of people would lead them around the ruins of Changde. If the Japanese sent a small number of troops, it would be easy to be made dumplings.
This kind of unpredictable and unattainable tactics made the Japanese army exhausted. Later Yokoyama gave an order to move forward with one brigade and one brigade, and the Chinese army would hide in some corners and shoot black guns with two or three people. The tactic of one person for one person also made the Japanese unable to afford to lose.
In the end, Yokoyama called for air support. The Japanese air force joined the bombing of Changde. The caliber of the Japanese mountain artillery was small, and the threat to the building was not great. Unless it was hitting the bullseye, it would be difficult to give a building to it. Collapsed.
However, the Japanese aviation bombs are much more powerful. After one shell fell, one building collapsed, and a famous Kuomintang defender was buried underneath.
In this way, Japan gradually eroded the turf occupied by the Chinese army and compressed the living space step by step. However, the Chinese army also began to change. It began to move at night, mainly avoiding war during the day, and attacking the Japanese camp at night. Even if it can't kill a few Japanese, it can also make the Japanese rest bad and lose energy during the day.
Eight thousand people rely on this tactic of exhausting the enemy, and after paying countless blood, they still haven't allowed the Japanese to completely occupy Changde City.
In the underground headquarters, Yu Chengwan looked at the telegram in his hand with red eyes, and finally tore it off forcefully: "Stay on for help, stand on for help, when will it be held for ten days, even the pigs will be able to rush over," This group of bastards, they are separated by a river, with more than forty divisions, none of them are willing to save our 57 divisions!"
After speaking, he hammered the table hard, and the veins on his fist were faintly visible.
"General, call the chairman!"
"Read!"
"The battle of Changde is about the entire Hubei and Hunan battle. Only success is allowed, and no failure is allowed..."
After reading the chairman's telegram, Yu Chengwan put the telegram aside, lit a cigarette for himself, and took a strong sip: "Call back the chairman!"
"Exhausted, rescued, no one, the city is broken. The deputy commander of the post, the division, the master of the political department, the master of the staff, and the central bank of the city, each group leader divides the area, guards a house, makes the last resistance, and swears So far, and I wish victory. Long live the Seventy-Fourth Army!"
"Master, no, I can leave it with the green hills. I'm not afraid that there will be no firewood. We are next to the Tenth Army. They just don't come to save us. They just want us to be eaten by the Japanese. Master, you take someone to break through, and I stay !"
"Master, you can withdraw first!"
A group of staff in the room violently persuaded Yu Chengwan. Yu Chengwan smiled and did not speak. Instead, he leaned on his chair and smoked continuously. He sent out this telegram because of what, and Yu Chengwan didn’t. I know, maybe the chairman can order a retreat, maybe the chairman can let nearby friendly forces desperately support it!
After smoking, Yu Chengwan stood up: "Don't say anything, I have decided, that's it, take my weapon!"
"General!"
"General!"
Yu Zhigan didn’t know what happened to Yu Chengwan’s headquarters. At this time, Yu Zhigan was lying in a ruin, staring at the Urn City not far away. There, the Japanese held a welcoming ceremony for entering the city. Not far from Yu Zhi's work, there was a line of Japanese soldiers.
The Japanese feel that they have taken the city of Changde. Although there are still people in the city of Changde who continue to resist, Hengshan Yong announced to the outside world that Changde city has been controlled and invited some reporters to take pictures in order to stabilize the military spirit.
In Wengcheng, some captured wounded soldiers stood on both sides and were forced to participate in this welcome ceremony.
Several Japanese soldiers took the Japanese aunt's flag and began to send them one by one. When the army entered the city, they were asked to wave the flag to welcome them into the city.
"Sir, what are the Japanese doing?"
** asked Yu Zhiqian in a low voice.
"Don't speak out, the Japanese are just doing formalism, wait until I see my instructions before acting!"
"it is good!"
**After hearing what Yu Zhiqian said, he retracted his head, motionless, waiting for Yu Zhigan's instructions. (End of this chapter)
