"The Japanese bombers are coming again!"

A hoarse roar came from the ruins, and some of the fighting soldiers quickly withdrew from their positions, looking for cover and hiding themselves.

The morning sun brings not infinite hope and vitality, but death, cold death, the Battle of Changde has been fought for ten days, and within ten days, the Japanese have carried out at least twenty times? Thirty massive shellings, bombardments.

The entire city of Changde is now in ruins, and now there is not a single intact building to be found in the city, and the headquarters has been relocated three times, and finally transferred to a basement of the central bank.

In the eastern sky, there were small black dots, this is the Japanese fighter plane, how much ammunition the Japanese dropped in Changde City during this time, no one has counted, in Yu Zhiqian's mind, the sound of explosions has not stopped.

Of the 8,000 Kuomintang defenders, no one knows how many people have survived, and there is only one guard company around Yu Chengwan's headquarters, adding up to less than 200 people, and the others, maybe sleeping in the ruins, may continue to fight in some places.

Yokoyama was very anxious, since he intercepted the telegram of the Kuomintang army, because he bit too much, and the Kuomintang army was ready to fight to the death, he immediately slowed down the pace of the offensive, but for two days, Yokoyama deliberately let his army leak some flaws to the Chinese army, and slowed down the pace of the offensive, but the Chinese army still did not retreat.

It was only at this time that Yokoyama realized that he might have been deceived, and after a wing of the 116th Division was killed by the Chinese army, he may have deciphered the Chinese army's telegram by himself.

After thinking about it, Yokoyama immediately gave the order for a general attack without hesitation, and the artillery fire fell on 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 poured into the city of Changde, but under the command of Yu Chengwan, the defenders of Changde were reduced to pieces, and they no longer cared about the gains and losses of a piece of land with the Japanese, but carried out various harassment tactics.

The Japanese were attacking an intersection when a small Kuomintang force suddenly appeared from behind, attacked their butts, and then fled.

If the Japanese sent a large force to pursue, this group of people would take them around in circles among the ruins of Changde, and if the Japanese sent a relatively small number of troops, then it would be easy to be made dumplings.

Later, Isamu Yokoyama ordered to advance forward with one brigade and one brigade, and the Chinese army had two or three people hiding in some corners to shoot black guns, and the tactics of one person for one person also made the Japanese unable to afford losses.

In the end, Yokoyama called for air support, and the Japanese air force joined the bombing of Changde, the caliber of the Japanese mountain artillery was very small, and the threat to the building was not very large, unless it was hit by the bull's-eye, it was difficult to blow up a building.

However, the Japanese aerial bombs were much more powerful, and after the shells fell, one building after another collapsed, and a Kuomintang defender was buried underneath.

In this way, little by little, Japan gradually encroached on the territory held by the Chinese army, and gradually compressed the living space, but the Chinese army also began to change, began to move at night, mainly to avoid war during the day, and to sneak attack the Japanese camp at night, even if it could not kill a few Japanese, but it could also make the Japanese rest badly and have no energy during the day.

It was by relying on this tactic that the enemy was tired, and after paying countless blood, the 8,000 men still did not let the Japanese completely occupy Changde City.

In the underground command center, Yu Chengwan looked at the telegram in his hand with red eyes, and finally tore it off vigorously: "Stick to the help, stick to the help, hold on to the time, ten days, even the pigs can rush over, this group of bastards, they are just a river away, more than 40 divisions, none of them is willing to save our 57th division!" ”

After finishing speaking, he hammered the table hard, and the green tendons on the fist were faintly visible.

"General, Chairman's telegram!"

"Read!"

"The battle of Changde is related to the entire Hubei-Hunan war situation, and only success is allowed, not failure......"

After reading the telegram from the chairman, Yu Chengwan put the telegram aside, lit a cigarette for himself, and took a hard puff: "Call back the chairman!" ”

"The bullets are exhausted, the aid is gone, there are no people, and the city is broken. The deputy division commander, the division attached, the master of the political department, the master of the general staff, stubbornly defend the central bank in the city, and the commanders of each regiment divide the area, hold a house, make the last resistance, swear to the death, and wish victory. Long live the 74th Army! ”

"Division commander, you can't, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood, we are next door to the Tenth Army, they just don't come to save us, they just want us to be eaten by the Japanese, division commander, you lead people to break through, I will stay!"

"Division Commander, you should withdraw first!"

A group of staff officers in the room fiercely persuaded Yu Chengwan, Yu Chengwan smiled, did not speak, but leaned on the chair and kept smoking, he sent this telegram, what was the reason, Yu Chengwan didn't know, maybe the chairman could order a retreat, maybe the chairman could let the nearby friendly forces desperately support!

After smoking, Yu Chengwan stood up: "Don't say it, everyone, I've made up my mind, that's it, take my weapon!" ”

"General!"

"General!"

What happened to Yu Chengwan's headquarters, Yu Zhiqian did not know, at this time Yu Zhiqian was lying in a ruin, his eyes staring at the urn city not far away, where the Japanese held a welcoming ceremony to enter the city, and not far from Yu Zhiqian, there was a group of Japanese soldiers lined up.

The Japanese felt that they had taken Changde City, although there were still people in Changde City who continued to resist, but in order to stabilize the morale of the army, Yokoyama Yong announced that Changde City had been controlled, and invited some reporters to prepare to take pictures.

In the urn city, there were some captured wounded soldiers standing on both sides, and they were forced to participate in this welcome ceremony.

Several Japanese soldiers took the Japanese aunt flag and began to send it one by one, and when the army entered the city, they had to let these people wave the flag and welcome them into the city.

"Sir, what are the Japanese doing?"

Wang Youcai asked Yu Zhiqian in a low voice.

"Don't make a sound, the Japanese are just engaging in formalism, and they will act after seeing my instructions!"

"Good!"

After Wang Youcai heard Yu Zhiqian's words, he retracted his head and remained motionless, waiting for Yu Zhiqian's instructions.
