545 trivial

(The name of this chapter is also stringed....) ）

At 10:30, the 10th Army, which was besieged in the Jinjing area, broke through decisively, and with or without the reinforcements mentioned in Xue Yue's telegram, they had to break through.

When the three divisions met, Li Yutang really had some old tears, his tenth army was the ace army of the Soviet Union, it was because he didn't listen to the order and didn't retreat, and he was ambushed by the devil, so many brothers died, and now the rest of these people are not sad, and there are traces of gunsmoke and blood on their bodies.

"Brothers, I'll take you out!" Li Yutang shouted at everyone as he stood on a slope.

"Rush Rush!"

"Thank you for trusting me, I, Li Yutang, swear here, I will definitely find a devil to repay this revenge and pay tribute to the brothers of the Taishan Army who died here. After Li Yutang said this, he suddenly knelt down in the direction of Piaofeng Mountain and kowtowed three times.

"Brothers, go all the way!"

The others also followed his example, kneeling towards Piaofeng Mountain, kowtowing, and comforting their fallen comrades.

Zhou Min's eyes were red when he got up, and his chest was a little blocked.

The tragic atmosphere infects everyone, because I don't know how many people can live this breakthrough.

At this moment, the wolftooth team that had crawled out to reconnoiter the enemy's situation returned.

Chen Dalu, who was panting, looked happy.

"Report to the sir, we have found reinforcements in the south! ”

"Reinforcements, great, I didn't expect Chief Xue to have such a hand, brothers, go, and fight the devil with the friendly army. ”

Three soldiers suddenly appeared in the Jinjing area and attacked the rear flank of the 6th Division, and when the news was reported to Anan Yuji, he couldn't believe it.

"No, it's impossible, there are really reinforcements in the Jinjing area, is it true that Xue Yue's orders are true?"

"General, we will now confirm the authenticity of the other orders. In case of a miscalculation, the consequences can be severe. ”

"Where's the Abyss detachment?"

"The Abyss detachment has broken through the last line of defense of the Xinqiang River, the Liuyang River defense line, five kilometers from Changsha. ”

"What is he waiting for, why don't you go into town immediately?"

"General, according to intelligence, there are still four divisions in Changsha City, and the crisis of the squadron on the Jinjing front line has been resolved, and now it is returning to Changsha, and the Abyss detachment is now alone behind the enemy, and if there is another street battle in the city, it is very likely that the whole army will be wiped out, and the success will fall short. ”

"No, the Abyss detachment must enter the city, and even if Changsha cannot be occupied, our national flag must be planted on the building in Changsha, which means that we give Chongqing a serious warning, which can hit the determination of the Chinese people to resist and order Abyss to enter the city immediately. ”

Although Kinoshita didn't quite approve of Anami's utilitarian approach, he nodded in agreement.

After entering Changsha, the Abyss encountered an ambush that had already been laid, and the two sides engaged in fierce street battles in the city, and the Japanese suffered heavy losses.

And Chen Cheng of the Sixth War Zone also launched a fierce attack on Yichang.

"General, Jiang Wei saved Zhao, what should we do?"

"Yichang is an important base for the bombing of Chongqing, and it is also an important guarantee for the flank of Changsha, which must not be lost. It seems that the only way to retreat now is to retreat. I didn't expect this to be the end of the situation. The 3rd and 4th Divisions, the 40th Division, and the 2nd Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade were ordered to jump out of the encirclement before being surrounded by the squadron, ordered the Hayayuan Detachment to withdraw from Changsha, and ordered the 6th Division to retreat to the north bank of the Xinqiang River to join the Ayussa troops and withdraw. Anan was extremely reluctant to give a series of orders.

At this time, with the support of friendly forces, the 10th Army also successfully broke through from the Jinjing area, although it suffered heavy losses, but it was not completely annihilated.

Xue Yue was relieved to receive the report of the Japanese retreat. Changsha was saved for the second time.

But Xue Yue was not happy at all. Even if it is a victory this time, it will be a disastrous victory, and there are too many uncertainties, if Li Yutang did not hold out until the reinforcements arrived, if Anan Weiji did not believe the true and false telegrams he sent, too many ifs, this battle let him know that he must reflect well.

After the war, the media were extremely excited, and the victory in the Battle of Changsha was reported repeatedly, and the Chinese once again kept the field and smashed the Japanese army's plot to occupy Changsha.

However, Chairman Chiang was not happy, in his opinion there was nothing to boast about in the victory of almost two ace armies, and after reading the post-war statistics, it made his heart ache even more.

The 58th Division of the 74th Army suffered 55% casualties and the 57th Division suffered 40% casualties; The 37th Division of the 60th Army suffered 50% casualties, and the 140th Division suffered 30% casualties; 45% casualties of the 102nd Division of the 102nd Army; The 3rd Division of the 10th Army suffered 35% casualties, and the 44th Division of the 26th Army suffered 24% casualties; The rest of the divisions suffered less than 20% casualties.

1,310 officers were wounded, 760 killed, and 421 missing, totaling 2,491: 33,793 soldiers were wounded, 22,667 were killed, and 11,066 were missing, totaling 67,426, and a total of 69,917 soldiers were lost in the northern Hunan battlefield.

Such casualty figures were much higher than those of the Japanese army.

Because of Xue Yue's command error, he almost lost Changsha, so Jiang took the people of the Military Commission to Changsha to hold a military meeting in person.

At the meeting, Xue Yue made a post-war summary, but was sprayed by Chairman Jiang, and at the same time commended those who had made meritorious contributions to the battle, and also set off for those who made mistakes.

Li Yutang, commander of the 10th Army, Fang Xianjue of the 10th Division, and Zhu Yue of the 190th Division were all dismissed.

When the news reached the Tenth Army, everyone was stunned, the battle of Jinjing was indeed miserable, but it was not enough to remove all the commanders. Zhou Min even smelled the smell of conspiracy in such an order.

"Brother, you have to say something, the order above is too child's play, isn't this to rectify the Tenth Army? How many casualties have we suffered, if it weren't for Xue Yue's light enemy, would it be like this!"

"Minmin, be careful that the wall has ears!" When Zhou Tao saw Zhou Min say this, he immediately went out vigilantly to take a look, and then closed the door.

"Brother, I think this is a big conspiracy, although the people think that this war is a victory, but in my opinion, it is a defeat, underestimate the enemy, the password was stolen, Changsha was almost lost, and now it is like this to the Tenth Army, do you think you want to use the Tenth Army as a scapegoat?"

Zhou Min's words made Zhou Tao fall into deep thought, he was analyzing this possibility, Li Yutang was not a descendant of the Central Army, nor was he Xue Yue's person, would he want him to be a scapegoat.

And he himself is a descendant of the Central Army, so the person who was removed from his post did not have him?

"Minmin, we can't interfere with the orders from above, all we can do now is wait and see. ”

Zhou Min was just about to speak, when a hurried knock came from the door.

"Teacher, teacher, no, Dean Li is going to give birth!"

When Zhou Tao and Zhou Min heard this, they hurriedly opened the door.

"What are you talking about, Ruyu is going to give birth?"

"Yes, teacher, Dean Li was having surgery, but suddenly the abdominal pain was unbearable, and I heard the little nurse say that the amniotic water broke and was about to give birth!"

"Brother, get in the car!"

Zhou Lei drove the car to the war zone hospital under Zhou Tao's constant urging. At this time, the hospital in the war zone was very chaotic, and there were wounded soldiers everywhere, and after finding the room where Li Ruyu was, the two rushed in directly.

"Ruyu, Ruyu, how are you?"

"Ahh It hurts, it hurts, Zhou Tao!"

At this moment, Li Ruyu was already soaking wet and pale, and it was another female doctor in her 50s who helped her deliver the baby.

"Whoever let you in, get out!"

"Ruyu, I'm waiting for you outside, the baby will be born soon, you have to come on, okay? I'm outside, if you can't hold on, shout my name." Zhou Tao took Li Ruyu's hand and said quickly.

In the end, he and Zhou Min were forcibly pushed out by the nurse. 21
