After repelling the devil's attack, Zhou Min and the special operations team disappeared into the streets and alleys like ghosts, as if they had never appeared.

What they had just repelled was the 13th Wing Company under the 6th Division, and at this time Kanda was planting like an angry lion.

He shouted angrily: "Youcheng Minmin, I am going to send you to a military court, you have brought unprecedented shame to the 6th Division!"

Unlike Kanda's anger, at this moment Anan Yuji was like a petrified statue, sitting motionless in front of a huge sand table, his expression was serious, but it could be seen that his mind was running rapidly, and he was analyzing the strength of the enemy and his enemy.

Kinoshita Yong quickly walked over with a document and said, "Your Excellency Commander, according to the reconnaissance of the air forces, it was found that several squadrons were rapidly approaching Changsha. ”

And so it was. Xue Yue is really as I guessed, he wants to swallow my 70,000 army in one go, he has such a big appetite. ”

"Your Excellency, since this is a trap, did you order a retreat?" asked Kinoshita again.

Anan, who had an almost petrified expression, showed a hint of madness at the moment of crisis, he shook his head and said: "No! Since Xue Yue wants to fight me in Changsha, I will never retreat, the Imperial Japanese Army must not set this precedent, how long will it take for the troops gathered to Changsha to arrive?"

"According to the analysis of the scouts, the troops gathered in Changsha will arrive in Changsha on the 4th at the earliest. ”

"Yo Xi, then we will capture Changsha before the 4th, and then wait for the Chongqing army to gather in Changsha, our army can meet the enemy army who has traveled long distances from all directions, with the quality of our army's individual soldiers and air superiority plus the exchange of attack and defense, we still have at least 6 percent chance of winning, and this battle can still be fought. ”

After Anan Yui said this, Kinoshita Yui breathed a sigh of relief, and all the staff officers in the command room also cheered up again.

Only Anan knew that he was taking a big gamble. The stakes were his own future, the glory of his family, and the lives of all the officers and men of the Eleventh Army.

At this moment, he is very similar to Xue Yue, who was in trouble in the second battle of Changsha. In response to the old Chinese saying, feng shui takes turns.

The Ninth Theater Command on Yuelu Mountain.

Xue Yue stood on the top of the mountain, holding a telescope and looking in the direction of Changsha. At this moment, he is full of worries, just like Anan Weiji.

"Chief of Staff, do you think Anan will withdraw his troops if he can't attack it for a long time?"

"Don't worry, he won't retreat, Tokyo has already held a parade to celebrate the victory in Changsha, and he has no way out. What I am now worried about is the Tenth Army, which has held out for two days and two nights, and although they have not lost an inch of land, they have suffered huge casualties. Today's wars will be even more tragic. ”

"It's really tragic, but there is also good news, the battle report from the front, the special operations brigade under the independent division hit the 13th Wing by surprise and hit them hard. Chen Jiahou, the commander of the 186th Regiment, also personally led the officers and soldiers to recover the positions of Chenjiashan and Dujiashan. ”

"Fight beautifully, send an order to the whole theater, reward these two teams, and reward 5,000 yuan each. ”

"Report, Chief Xue, Chief of Staff, and the special combat team of the Independent Division seized the briefcase from the Japanese, saying that it contained important documents. ”

Xue Yue naturally knew the Japanese, and after reading the document, he laughed: "This Japanese army turned out to be a light soldier into battle, without much ammunition and grain, and it has been a week since the Xinqiang River, and they have almost run out of ammunition and food. ”

"Yes. ”

The commander of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army, Kanda Masashi, convened a meeting of the officers of the entire division.

"Ladies and gentlemen, a parade has been held in Tokyo to celebrate the victory of Changsha. This is the trust and expectation of the people of the whole country and His Majesty the Emperor for our army. We absolutely must not let down His Majesty the Emperor! If we fail to capture Changsha today, then all of us must apologize to the Emperor for their crimes. ”

The chief of staff of the Sixth Division said at this moment: "General, the main problem now is that we don't have much food, grass and ammunition left. ”

"It is precisely because we have little ammunition and food left that I hope that we will increase the pace of the offensive, and we have no choice now, I order the 13th Wing to retreat and rest, and the 23rd Wing to attack with all its might!"

When You Chengmin, the captain of the 13th Wing, heard this, he hurriedly stood up and said: "General, yesterday's rout has deeply humiliated the officers and men of our entire wing, please give me another chance to be ashamed! If I can't achieve the results of the battle, my subordinates are willing to apologize!"

"Okay, I'll give you another chance, but your company must complete the attack today. ”

"Hayi"

"Let me tell you a good news, although our baggage wing was harassed by the squadron and suffered certain losses, there are still a few tanks that broke out of the enemy's encirclement and arrived in Changsha last night. Gentlemen, we must win this battle!"

"Hayi"

Today is the third day of the Battle of Changsha. The Tenth Army must continue to hold out, as reinforcements will arrive as soon as tomorrow.

"Commander Zhou, what are the casualties now?"

"Report to the army commander, at present, our troops have suffered heavy casualties, mainly from the aerial bombardment of devils. The outlying positions had been lost and had now been withdrawn into the city of Changsha. At present, the casualties of the first regiment have reached 70%, and the casualties of the second and third regiments have reached 50%. ”

Li Yutang on the other end of the phone listened to the number reported by Zhou Tao, he was silent, not only the independent division, but also the 190th division and the 10th division also suffered heavy casualties, but before the reinforcements arrived, they had to guard and guard the hearth of the heavenly furnace.

"Commander, the devil's attack is getting more and more crazy, and the lowly is worried that it will be difficult to resist if it continues like this, so he asks for a street fight. If we can fight street battles with the devils, the forces of both sides are intertwined, and the air power of the devils will not be able to be used. There are many soldiers in the team, that is, Changsha people, who are familiar with the terrain. The lowly thinks that this is more beneficial to us. ”

"Master Zhou, I agree with your idea of fighting in the streets. Fight hard, fight the majesty of your independent division!"

"Yes. ”

It was approved by Li Yutang. Zhou Tao immediately ordered the three regiments to engage in street battles with the devils and abandon their existing positions.

After receiving Zhou Tao's order.

Song Lei and Chen Yunzhang, who joined forces, immediately selected Changsha natives from the team. They are the guides to fight street fights.

There are also more than 10 people in the special operations brigade who have lived in Changsha since childhood, and Yuanyuan is one of them. and the little mao who wants to find his daughter-in-law. The five big and three thick Wang beards are actually from Changsha.

"Wan Li, it is more beneficial for us to fight street battles with our sophisticated weapons. After a while, let these Changsha native brothers be guides, and the special operations team was divided into three platoons, each fighting for its own sake. I took the wolf tooth squad to cooperate with the first regiment and the third regiment. Our current strategic goal is to drag out the devils and wait for friendly forces to arrive, so you don't force your attacks, focus on sneak attacks. After the fight, run away, take the devil around the city, don't fall in love with the war, the devil's army is far more than mine, understand?"

"Yes"

Song Lei and Chen Yunzhang also made plans. The remnants of the first regiment fought and retreated, leading the devils to the vicinity of the provincial government, and then the three regiments were ambushed there, preparing to fight the devils with a small counterattack.

On the road leading to the provincial government, there are also anti-tank fortifications set up by Zhou Min that everyone looks down on.

It's just that until now, the tanks of the devils have not appeared.
