Chapter 32: The Battle of Huguang (End)
Wang Yong knew that this was the last battle in Hunan, this battle was won, and the embarrassing situation of the national defense force would be fully opened in the future, and the three regiments on the front line were ready to attack, and the commander of the three regiments stood in front of the position to mobilize: "Comrades, the moment of the final decisive battle has come, this time we are the vanguard, capture Changsha, we are heroes, if we fail, we are the sinners of Liangguang, for the better life of our children and grandchildren, what should we do, comrades?" ”
The soldiers raised their guns and shouted: "Kill, kill, kill, kill ......" The morale of the Wehrmacht soldiers was extremely high, and Nie Shicheng in the command headquarters looked at the position, turned around and said: "Staff Officer Wang, order the artillery to use up all the shells, and after the shelling is over, the whole army will be pressed, and the time has come to fight to the death."

The soldiers on the position were waiting quietly, and as the order to attack was given, the artillery of the Wehrmacht roared past, and bombarded the Changsha city wall, and ten minutes later the artillery finished all the shells according to the order, and the commander of the third regiment stood up and shouted: "Comrades, rush with me." "Wehrmacht soldiers rushed out of the trenches with guns in hand and slaughtered the enemy troops in the city. Holding a rifle, the commander of the third regiment killed the enemy commander, and the commander of the third regiment stabbed the enemy officer to death with a single thrust, and the soldiers quickly broke through the city wall.
The soldiers on the opposite side showed signs of rout, but were stopped by an officer, "Do not run, those who flee and retreat without permission will die." The third regiment commander happened to see this scene, and immediately called a soldier next to him: "Xiao Li, the officer with the big knife on the other side is handed over to you, shoot him to death for me." Xiao Li took a gun and aimed at the enemy officer who was stopping the rout, and with a bang, the enemy commander was killed on the spot, and the third regiment commander patted Xiao Li: "Okay, Xiao Li, I will definitely give you credit when I go back." ”
There are many defeated soldiers who surrendered directly to the Wehrmacht, although the Wehrmacht soldiers have broken through the city wall, but there are still many enemies in the city who are stubbornly resisting, and there is a desperate struggle in the city, the Taiping army has seen the sharpness of firearms, and bought a wind rifle from the British, but I did not expect that until now, the peasant army has used it, and every place in the city is a battlefield.
"Platoon commander, you see a few peasant soldiers with British rifles at the window on the upper floor opposite." The platoon commander looked at it, and sure enough, "Xiaodong, you take a squad to beat him off for me." Xiao Dong took a few soldiers to touch the enemy, slowly walked to the room, Xiao Dong opened the door, and three or two shots to solve the stubborn enemy.
Soon the Wehrmacht was in front of the former palace, and all the enemy generals should be inside, and the Wehrmacht soldiers were very happy, thinking that as long as they took this palace, the battle would be over.
Nie Shicheng also arrived, looking at the troops who arrived: "Third Regiment Commander, this time your regiment is fighting well, I will definitely ask you for credit in front of the commander, come here, and immediately send someone to persuade the people inside to surrender." The representatives sent were quickly driven out, and the people inside were also very backbone, and they swore not to surrender, Nie Shicheng also had to admire these people, since they could not persuade them to surrender, they had to be completely eliminated.
"Come, set up the machine gun for me, solve it early, solve it early, after this battle, there is a bigger battle waiting for us later." Two machine guns fired into it, and the fighters rushed in, several of whom had been beaten into a sieve by the machine guns. When inspecting the enemy generals, Yang Xiuqing, the main general of the enemy army, was not found, and it was later learned that Yang Xiuqing had left Changsha and Hunan before the national defense army was still in the future.
When the news of the fall of Changsha spread quickly, the peasant army in Hunan heard the news, and the army was disheartened and panicked, and the battle with the Wehrmacht was immediately crushed, and those who fled fled, and those who surrendered surrendered, and the Wehrmacht completed the occupation of the entire territory of Hunan as quickly as possible.
Zhang Yuanzheng also rushed to Changsha, looking at this city that was now devastated by the war, Zhang Yuanzheng also felt helpless in his heart, the damage caused by the war is huge, but with the current situation in China, only by breaking all the old rules and putting it to death and then rebirth, will there be a new side.
Zhang Yuanzheng immediately ordered a group of cadres to be transferred from Guangzhou to manage Hunan, and in the face of the shortage of management personnel, Zhang Yuanzheng, who had not paid attention to training personnel in this area, ordered the establishment of a cadre training class in Guangzhou.
"Marshal, now there is a very important problem, just now when our soldiers went to purchase grain, they found that there is not much grain in Hunan now, after investigation, it turned out that the peasant army urgently purchased all the grain in Hunan when they were fighting us, in an attempt to trap us." Nie Shicheng reported.
"Well, this is indeed a very important matter, immediately let the rear open our reserve grain depot, urgently pump grain over, in addition to providing food for the people, but also let the people cultivate the grain as soon as possible." Zhang Yuanzheng turned around and said.
