The Japanese tentatively attacked twice in the afternoon, but both times failed to take the gates.

But even so, there were only 32 people alive in the city, and Yu Zhiqian killed about 50 Japanese soldiers in one afternoon, compared with the soldiers of the national army, Yu Zhiqian's marksmanship was better, and he also had the advantage of magnifying the scope, and he could start killing the enemy from a distance of 200 meters.

"Changed guards!"

When the sky began to get late, the people of the second battalion and the third battalion changed guards, Yu Zhiqian and others also breathed a sigh of relief, the defenders of the east gate were less than 100 people, if the Japanese attacked at night, whether they could hold it, no one could say.

"Sir, where are you going?"

When Wang Youcai attacked in the second wave, his arm was injured, and after changing defenses, he looked at Yu Zhiqian curiously.

Yu Zhiqian thought for a while: "I'll go to the headquarters for a look!" ”

This task gives Yu Zhiqian a very high degree of freedom, he does not belong to a certain army, there is no order to stick to where to go, Yu Zhiqian can go wherever he wants, there is no core task, Yu Zhiqian also does not know where to go for a while.

"Headquarters! In the middle of the city, sir, did you find it? Can't find me to take you there! ”

"Good!"

Wang Youcai now admires Yu Zhiqian very much, he himself has roughly counted, Yu Zhiqian has killed at least forty Japanese devils, this number is almost unimaginable to the past, even now, it is not ordinary people can do it, Wang Youcai has been a soldier for many years, the first person to see such a fight.

Changde City has now completed most of the retreat, in the city, there are no ordinary people in sight, occasionally see some people who have not had time to retreat, they are also in a hurry, most of them have voluntarily joined the logistics team, constantly to the front-line soldiers, food and transport the wounded.

"Sir, why didn't you retreat!"

Wang Youcai took the compressed biscuit handed over by Yu Zhiqian, took a bite gently, and looked at Yu Zhiqian with some curiosity.

"Why retreat?"

"When we retreated a few days ago, many reporters had already left the war zone, weren't you a reporter?"

"No, I'm a warrior just like you!"

"Sir, what kind of cookie are you? It doesn't feel like there's any taste! ”

"Eat less, this thing will be full if you eat a little, you can drink some water and try it!"

"Good!"

The two of them walked for about half an hour, and finally arrived at a building in the center of the city, two sentries stood at the door, and after seeing Yu Zhiqian, they immediately stopped them, and after taking out their documents, the sentries let them go.

"General, the Japanese may not be aiming at us, they just want to attract friendly troops around us to reinforce us, and then take the opportunity to cross the Yuan River and enter the Hunan and Hubei regions, and now it is just a feint!"

As soon as he entered the headquarters, he heard a fierce argument coming from inside.

"General, I don't agree with Staff Officer Liu's idea, the enemy's goal is obviously us, after taking Changde, the entire Yuanjiang River valley is under the control of the Japanese, advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended, now it is just a test of us, once we are not careful, the Japanese will seize the opportunity!"

After entering the headquarters, most of the officers Yu Zhiqian saw were taller than himself, and the major and the like were walking everywhere.

There was a huge map in the middle of the headquarters, a few ashtrays next to it, a large room with a smell of smoke, a high ceiling, and a very modest chandelier on top.

There are several radio stations on both sides, several signal soldiers are constantly receiving and receiving telegrams, and from time to time the telephone rings, and the signal soldiers and heralds are constantly shuttling around the house.

Above the wall on the front hung a photo of Jiang Zhongzheng's military uniform, two blue sky and white sun flags crossed on both sides, and another huge map was placed below, with a lot of circles and forks on it, and General Yu Chengwan, the lieutenant general of the 57th Division, was sitting at his desk.

Yu Zhiqian saw Yu Chengwan for the first time, compared with the photos seen in later generations, the current General Yu Chengwan looks a little younger, a native of Taizhou, Guangdong, and looks a little thin on the outside, although the staff officer is discussing fiercely, but he is staring at the map and thinking carefully.

I have to admire the uniform of the Kuomintang army, a well-fitting lieutenant general's uniform, which makes his figure appear more upright, with thick black sword eyebrows, bright eyes constantly thinking, and a domineering spirit that is not angry and self-threatening.

Holding the Zhongzheng Sword in his hand, which is a symbol of his Whampoa graduates, when the two staff officers quarreled for a long time, he turned his head violently, looked at the map behind him, and pointed with his hand: "The goal of Yokoyama Yong should not be Changde, it may be just a feint now, but if we are lax in defense, they may also attack us directly." ”

"The general is..."

"The headquarters should not be wrong, this is the result of the analysis of the headquarters, call back the headquarters and we will carry out the order." When Yu Chengwan said this, he was a little unsure.

"General, but..."

The staff officer, who was originally about to argue or something, saluted after hearing Yu Chengwan's words, then turned around and saluted, shook his head, and began to prepare to send a report to the headquarters, when he turned his head, he saw Yu Zhiqian standing aside, he was stunned at first, and then walked over: "Hello, you are Captain Yu of the intelligence department!" ”

Yu Zhiqian nodded, a little unsure why this staff officer knew him, and the staff officer brought Yu Zhiqian to Yu Chengwan's side: "General, Captain Yu of the intelligence department who I told you about this morning is here!" ”

After Yu Chengwan saw Yu Zhiqian, his eyes lit up, then he turned to look at Yu Zhiqian, and then frowned: "Didn't you say that it would be at noon?" Why is it half a day late! ”

Before Yu Zhiqian could speak, Wang Youcai next to him saluted a military salute: "Report to the division commander, Commander Yu, at the east gate to help us resist the Japanese attack, and killed at least forty Japanese officers!" ”

"You are?"

"Report to the general, I am Wang Youcai, deputy company commander of the first company of the third battalion of the 172nd regiment!"

"What you say is true!"

"Yes, General, our brothers on the upper floor of the city can prove it!"

Hearing this, Yu Chengwan's face recovered a little, Yu Zhiqian secretly wrote it down in his heart, Yu Chengwan likes punctual people, after the misunderstanding was resolved, Yu Zhiqian pointed to the map: "Captain Yu, your intelligence department, what useful information does the Japanese attack this time?" ”

Yu Zhiqian was stunned for a moment, but soon understood what his identity was, equivalent to a staff officer outside the organization, and the identity of the intelligence department gave Yu Zhiqian a certain degree of freedom, and he was able to contact Yu Chengwan.

"General, our intelligence department has analyzed and judged that the Japanese are targeting Changde this time, and their battle plan to attack Yuxianggui is just a pretense!"

"Then why didn't the headquarters give us orders?"

"General, I don't know how the people at the headquarters are, but if you look at the map, you should understand!"

"Tell me about it!"

After Yu Chengwan finished speaking, he handed the command pole to Yu Zhiqian, and after Yu Zhiqian took it, he found Changde on the map, circled it, and then moved to Changsha and Chongqing.

Yu Chengwan saw that after Chongqing, he was stunned at first, frowned, shook his head slowly, and then looked at Changsha again, all the fog before was blown away, and he instantly sorted out his thoughts and knew what this group of little devils was going to do.

Before, I was just a fan of the authorities, and I didn't see the impact of Changde on the overall situation.
