On August 31, the 389th Regiment of the 130th Division captured the Tax Department; The 36th Regiment of the 108th Division captured the West Gate Tower; The 198th Division and the 2nd Reserve Division occupied Ximen Street.

While the street fighting achieved a great victory, it also paid a heavy price. Of course, although he cares about the lives of soldiers, what is more important to the commander is the outcome of the battle. The bloody battle continued, a large number of soldiers fell, and the entire streets and alleys of Tengchong City were stained with the blood of the soldiers, and of course, the results of the battle were refreshed day by day.

On September 2, the Reserve 2nd Division took the Wanshou Palace in the west of the city; The 346th Regiment and the 347th Regiment of the 116th Division also captured the four Japanese forts on both sides of the God's Temple on the same day, and the Japanese army's ammunition depot on the north side of the Chenghuangmiao was destroyed by the 116th.

On September 3, the 348th Regiment of the 116th Division finally took the stronghold of Wenchang Palace; The 346th Regiment and the 347th Regiment also captured the Chenghuang Temple respectively and entered the vicinity of Dongmen Street; The 198th Division crossed Ximen Street and approached Wenxing Pavilion in the center of the city.

On 7 September, the 54th Army wiped out the remnants of the western half of the city.

However, the remnants of the Japanese army in the eastern half of the city were still resisting stubbornly.

The 54th Army immediately shifted its position to the east of the city to assist the 53rd Army in intensifying its offensive, and the two forces drove the Japanese out like a rake, and the remnants of the Japanese had to retreat to the northeast corner of the city.

The troops of the 20th Army had already captured most of Tengchong City, and they were only a stone's throw away from final victory.

On September 7, the fierce battle of Songshan finally came to an end, and the battles of Longling and Tengchong on the battlefield in western Yunnan became the focus of attention.

Chiang Kai-shek, who was always concerned about the war in western Yunnan, was very dissatisfied with the situation here, Tengchong was the first target in the order to cross the river, where did he think of crossing the river for more than three months, and this first target had not yet been taken.

Chiang Kai-shek, who was far away in Chongqing, could not sit still now, so he personally gave the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force a deadline for conquering Tengchong: "Tengchong must be recaptured before the anniversary of national humiliation on September 18." ”

Chairman Chiang's instructions did not dare to delay at all, and the General Headquarters of the Expeditionary Force immediately conveyed the order to all levels in its original form. All the ministries felt tremendous pressure, and although the casualties were serious, no one dared to complain at this time. Soon, "recapture Tengchong before the national humiliation day" became the slogan of all troops, and the pressure also turned into everyone's motivation, especially for these soldiers who moved from Northeast China and North China to western Yunnan, everyone's blood was boiling, and the day of national shame was coming.

The search for the Tengchong garrison was pressed step by step, and the Japanese army was forced to retreat to the area of the Dragon King Temple and the God of Wealth Temple in the northeast corner of the city.

On September 10, the 116th Division occupied Wenjia Lane, the 2nd Reserve Division captured the Longwang Temple, and the 198th Division captured the Japanese North Wall fortifications.

The Japanese army retreated to a corner to the north of the city, and the search circle of the expeditionary force became smaller and smaller.

On the military map, Commander Huo stopped his red pen at this point in the north of the city, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief, as if victory was just around the corner.

......

On August 13, the Japanese Tengyue garrison Zangzhong withdrew from the city defense headquarters of the British Consulate into Tengchong City. At that time, Tengchong City had already been surrounded by the expeditionary corps, and all roads were cut off. In addition to radio waves, only the hidden sewer could go out of the city, and after the commander of the 33rd Army, Honda Masasai, personally issued the order to defend Tengchong, that channel could not be used.

The plan for "breaking the operation" drawn up by the division and regiment is about to begin in mid-September, and this plan can only be realized if Tengchong is saved. Kurashige Yasumi had just received a telegram from Commander Honda Masasai, telling him to stay until early October. At that time, the garrison of Kurashige Yasumi 2 was less than 2,000 people, and it was huddled in a small area of more than 3 square kilometers, and it was failed to go out of the city twice, and it seemed that the only way out for the garrison was to defend the isolated city.

The gloomy basement was home to the main leaders of the garrison, and the gloomy face of Yasumi Kurashige could not be seen in the darkness, and his voice was often drowned out by the rumbling sound of cannon......

There were sieges on all sides, and the offensive of the expeditionary force was getting tighter and tighter. The thunderous roar of the plane hovered overhead, shaking people's ears numb. Suddenly there was an explosion, and the stones above his head collapsed, ** as if he had long eyes, and he just landed at the command post of Kurashige Yasumi, blowing up the fortress and the Japanese officers hiding here. Kurashige Yasumi was also stoned to death. Unable to complete the task of stubbornness, he finally got the relief he deserved.

After the death of Yasumi Kurashige, his duties should be taken over by the commander of the 2nd Brigade, Hikui Taro, but because he lost a leg in the battle of Gaoligong Mountain, the 33rd Army decided to designate the leader of the 9th Squadron, Masato Ota, who was transferred to the wing headquarters, as the commander of the garrison and direct the follow-up operations.

At this time, the Tengyue garrison was less than 700 people, and there was also a shortage of food and ammunition.

In order to stabilize the morale of the army, the news of the bombing of the command post could not be spread together, and Ota Masato continued to organize the Japanese troops in the city to resist in the name of Kurashige Yasumi, but he felt more and more that the expeditionary force was strong, and in the brutal street fighting, although many Chinese troops fell, the expeditionary force continued one after another, and the offensive became more and more fierce.

On August 21, Ota Masato sent a plea to the 56th Division, asking him to lead his troops to break through. Division commander Sakaguchi immediately rejected his seemingly unreasonable request, and ordered the Tengyue garrison to "hold on to the death." Ota Masato knows very well that it is okay to hold on to the death, wait for delay, how to wait, and where is the delay? He knew that this was a tight war in Longling, and the division commander himself was also a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and it was difficult to protect himself, where could he draw any reinforcements?

However, the commander of the Sakaguchi division still took care of Ota Masato, on August 25, he sent 12 fighters, risking the risk of being shot down by Allied aircraft, flew into the sky, and threw another 500 hands ** to the garrison in the city, which is the greatest support and comfort for Ota Masato, and how long can these hands ** let him hold on?

The guns of the expeditionary force came from all directions, sweeping in a carpet manner, driving Ota Masato and his team members to the north of the city.

Knowing that the end was coming, Ota Masato immediately notified his subordinates to burn important documents and destroy the main weapon. However, he left behind the flag of the garrison, and continued to resist stubbornly according to Sakaguchi's orders, and he concentrated all the remaining Japanese troops and withdrew to Wenxingkaku, in a vain attempt to slow down the Chinese attack with this strong fortification.

Then, under the cold offensive of the expeditionary force, Wenxing Pavilion could not hold it either, and Ota Masato was forced to retreat to the northeast corner of the city with the remnants.

On September 10, there were only more than 200 people left in the Tengyue garrison.

On this day, Ota Masato learned from the only transmitter that Songshan had been broken through by the Chinese Expeditionary Force, and that the Lameng garrison was all "broken". Completely disappointed, he pleaded with Sakaguchi again: Please break out.
