The Third Battle of Changsha ended with the complete defeat of the 11th Army of Anan and the complete victory of the Chinese army.

According to the war report issued by the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government and the Ninth Theater, the Japanese suffered 56,944 casualties (including 33,941 killed and 23,003 wounded), and the Chinese army suffered 31,346 casualties. There is no conclusive conclusion about the specific data, and scholars can study it. Because the Nationalist side may exaggerate the number of Japanese casualties, the Japanese side has always narrowed down the number of casualties, and even concealed it. One thing is certain, this battle has demonstrated national prestige, and the international community has begun to correct its attitude and re-understand China from this battle.

There were many world events at this stage, such as the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, and the declaration of war by the United States on December 8, 1941. On the same day, Britain declared war on Japan. On the 9th, China officially declared war on Japan, Germany, and Italy. On New Year's Day 1942, 26 countries, including the United States, Britain, the Soviet Union, and China, held a meeting in Washington and signed the "Declaration of the United Nations," marking the final formation of the international anti-fascist united front.

For the first time, US President Franklin D. Roosevelt strongly demanded to take the initiative to aid China, and made Lao Chiang the commander of the Chinese theater of the anti-fascist alliance.

This was the first time that China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression rose to the world level, and the first time that China's power was recognized by the world powers.

The Battle of Changsha was fought against this background, and it ended with a complete victory for the Chinese army, so how can it not inspire the confidence of the world anti-fascist war camp?

Chongqing has been a sleepless night for many days, and Lao Jiang can finally be ranked with the leaders of the world powers.

The Chinese people can finally participate in global affairs with their heads held high.

China also officially began to send large armies abroad to participate in the war.

On this day, Lao Jiang drank tea with his wife and eldest son in the villa.

The eldest prince whispered: "Father, this time Changsha is a big victory, Xiao Yifei has made a miraculous achievement, how do you want to arrange it?" ”

The eldest prince is polite and quiet on the surface, but in fact, he is extremely smart and has a longitude and latitude talent, he has met Xiao Yifei in Anhui, and it is he who personally operated the five percent shares of Zhennan Company to Xiao Yifei, and the eldest prince thought that it was better to win over Xiao Yifei than to win over Yan Laoxi.

The eldest prince has always advocated a policy of wooing Xiao Yifei. The eldest prince knew that Xue Yue and Boss Dai jointly requested that Xiao Yifei be awarded the title of major general, so he took this opportunity to say a few words for Xiao Yifei and let Lao Jiang do favors.

Lao Jiang looked at the eldest prince and whispered: "The young man who is less than 20 years old has been awarded the title of major general, and then awarded the rank of major general of the army, I am afraid that a bowl of water will be uneven, and the soldiers will think that I favor him." ”

Mrs. smiled and said: "Although the battle report mentions Xiao Yifei with a small number of words, it has a lot of times. The first is to destroy the Japanese army's transportation lines, the second is to eliminate the Japanese army's front-line headquarters, the third is to destroy the Japanese army's heavy artillery base, and the fourth is to block the Japanese army's retreat and make the Japanese army a turtle in an urn. Each of these four feats can show the sun and the moon, and even your direct subordinate army, the 74th Army, cannot be compared. Xiao Yifei is a talent! I want to see him in person. Darling, I suggest that you do a favor, show off Xiao Yifei's exploits at the relevant meetings, and tell you about General Xue's proposal and General Dai's proposal. I'm sure you'll be convinced. ”

Lao Jiang smiled and said: "Xiao Yifei, Xiao Yifei, soaring into the sky, I knew him when he blew up the railway bridge in Jinniu Town." Later, he blew up the Japanese arsenal at the Jinniu Railway Station, this person was terrible, and when Hushuguan bombed the arsenal, he also blew up the Japanese cavalry wing, and then bombed the airfield, destroying dozens of Japanese planes at one time, and Qingpu blew up the Japanese munitions, so that the Japanese army did not dare to carry out a major military operation in Zhejiang. Nanchang destroyed the Japanese army's munitions warehouse, bombed the airfield, and fought at the Shanggao Battle with a death squad on the downhill bridge to force the Japanese army back. Later, he blocked the retreat of the Japanese army, led the death squad to destroy the Japanese material convoy, and even eliminated the Japanese cavalry brigade. After Changsha came, you all know the relevant situation, so I won't go into details. His military exploits can really show the sun and the moon, if in ancient times, he can definitely worship the general, and he can give the iron coupon Danshu. If the name of the god of war is not given to him, who else can it be given? With Xiao Yifei in China, the great cause of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression will surely be victorious and successful. ”

The eldest prince smiled and said, "I didn't expect my father to be so familiar with Xiao Yifei. ”

Lao Jiang smiled and said: "Although we haven't met, but we cherish each other, as long as there is a big battle, I will think like this first, if Xiao Yifei takes someone to go, what will be the result?" Just when he was thinking like this, the good news came, Xiao Yifei participated in the war, and he also made miraculous achievements. ”

The lady said, "It is said that this man is so powerful that he is like a god in the world." ”

Lao Jiang nodded and said, "Yes!" Boss Dai described in the telegram that Xiao Yifei is not an ordinary person, and his ability is no different from that of a god. Kill one person in ten steps, and don't stay for a thousand miles, that's what he's talking about. ”

Madame smiled and said: "If he is willing to be the commander of a certain front of the national army, he will definitely be competent." ”

Lao Jiang sighed and said: "Xiao Yifei, this baby, as long as he is in public, will emphasize that he is the leader of the guerrillas of the New Fourth Army, and he will not agree to any temptation from Boss Dai." gave him the captain of the Nanjing Corps of the Loyal and Righteous National Salvation Army, but he didn't do it. This person is politically staunch to the New Fourth Army, and he can't change it, and no one can change it. ”

Madame smiled and said, "But he is separated from the New Fourth Army." ”

Lao Jiang's eyes lit up, and he nodded and said, "In fact, as long as he is pressed in the name of the overall situation of the Anti-Japanese War, he will still cooperate." He left the guerrilla unit he had created and brought only a few people to Anhui, Jiangxi, and Hunan, which showed that he still had a sense of the overall situation and that he was not enthusiastic about his official position. ”

The eldest prince said: "The New Fourth Army also belongs to the national army sequence, and Xiao Yifei said that he was the guerrilla captain of the New Fourth Army and did not make a mistake. Why stick to positional identity? Try your best to win him over. At least when we have conflicts with the New Fourth Army in the future, Xiao Yifei can stand on a fair and neutral position, which is also our victory. ”

Lao Jiang nodded and said, "Okay!" When you go back to Anhui, send him a message on my behalf, saying that I admire him very much, and that I will meet him if possible. ”

The eldest prince nodded and said, "Okay, I'll definitely bring the words." ”

After the Battle of Changsha, Xiao Yifei entered Changsha with the guerrillas, because the Chinese New Year was about to begin, and Xiao Yifei wanted the team members to have a lively New Year in the city.

Xiao Yifei's station has always been full of people, and the generals of the Ninth Theater lined up to visit Xiao Yifei at Xiao Yifei's station, and every general would give heavy gifts when they came. They did not curry favor with Xiao Yifei, but paid tribute to Xiao Yifei.

Xiao Yifei helped them win the third Battle of Changsha, so that they could finally raise their eyebrows and breathe again.

Reporters came to interview Xiao Yifei every day, especially several beautiful reporters who danced with Xiao Yifei in Anhui and stung Xiao Yifei like bee stings.

Xiao Yifei warmly received all the guests, the general will receive them politely, and the reporters will also receive them politely.

The beautiful reporters invited Xiao Yifei to the ball, and Xiao Yifei agreed with a smile.

promised to agree, but Xiao Yifei did not participate, to be honest, Xiao Yifei was not interested in dancing. He would rather sit alone and drink tea than go to that kind of occasion to join in the fun.

Xiao Yifei asked Die'er to go to the street every day to play, he received guests at the station alone, and when he was free, he thought about future arrangements.

On this day, Xue Yue, commander of the Ninth Theater of Operations, sent the chief of staff to Xiao Yifei's station to invite Xiao Yifei to attend the award meeting, and Xiao Yifei went, Xiao Yifei did not know in advance that he would be awarded the rank of major general of the army, because he was not familiar with the rank system of the national army, and thought that the rank of major general awarded in the past was the real major general, but he knew that it was only the rank of major general, and if he did not hold this position, the rank of major general would be lost. Now he is awarded the rank of major general for life, and it is the real rank of major general and the same rank as Boss Dai. Although Boss Dai is a lieutenant general, his official rank is a major general.

Xue Yue, on behalf of the Military Committee, personally awarded Xiao Yifei the title, and Xiao Yifei took the certificate and glanced at it, and the writing style was really different.

Xiao Yifei gladly accepted.

The award ceremony was very grand, Boss Dai read out Lao Jiang's congratulatory letter, and the reporters took a lot of photos. Lao Chiang sent a congratulatory letter to a major general, only once in a lifetime.

After the award ceremony, Xue Yue and Boss Dai held a special banquet for Xiao Yifei to celebrate.

At the banquet, Xue Yue and Xiao Yifei touched their wine glasses together, Xue Yue looked at Xiao Yifei's eyes, and said with a smile: "General Xiao, it was you who fulfilled me, I can't repay this love, but I admire you in my heart." I'm going to call you the god of war, and I'm going to toast you with a full cup!"

After Xue Yue drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, he asked the service staff to fill it again, touched Xiao Yifei's wine glass again, and said with a smile: "Serve in my ninth war zone!" I'll let you be the deputy commander first, and then I'll make you the commander later. ”

Xiao Yifei smiled and said: "This joke is too big, I am an idle cloud and wild crane, and I am used to fighting guerrillas in the mountains and forests, how can I lead troops?" I understand this feeling. ”

Xue Yue sighed and said, "You are the god of war, I am reluctant to let you go." ”

Xiao Yifei smiled and said: "When it's time to leave, you have to leave." In two or three years, the Japanese army did not dare to attack Changsha again, I wanted to go to the southern part of Anhui, where it was relatively peaceful; first, I wanted to develop new weapons, I tasted the sweetness of new weapons, and I really wanted to develop powerful individual combat weapons. Second, Anhui is not far away, and if there is a war here, I will definitely come as soon as possible. Third, Qingpu bombed the Japanese army's munitions, and the Japanese army's war in Zhejiang was only postponed, and next year the Japanese army will definitely launch a full-scale attack at the time they think is appropriate. I thought there would be a fight in that direction. So I thought of going over there. ”

Xue Yue nodded and said, "Since you have already thought about it, I won't keep you, and I can't keep it." It's just that I make a statement to you, the Ninth War Zone, as long as you come, you are a distinguished guest, and I will definitely toast you. ”

Xiao Yifei smiled and said, "Okay, don't keep talking between the two of us, I still want to have a glass with General Wang Yaowu!" ”

Xue Yue smiled and said, "Okay! We'll have time tomorrow to continue talking. ”
