The Battle of Changsha entered the sixth day, and the troops of the commander of the Chunmu Brigade once again launched an attack on the positions of the Third Army in Hainan. At this time, some troops of the two brigades of the 106th Division poured into Changsha City, plus Inaba Shiro personally entered the city to command.

Today, there are 30,000 Japanese troops in Changsha City, and 20,000 puppet troops have begun to attack the Third Army of Hainan frantically. Because the fortifications in Changsha city are strong. The Japanese attack did not go well, and the 20,000 Hainan Guards led more than 10,000 militiamen to fight to the death with the help of various strong fortifications.

Because of the fighting style of the Hainan Third Army, which was not afraid of death, it greatly encouraged the militia troops. As a result, the combat effectiveness of the militia units increased dramatically, and not only did they defeat the Japanese attacks many times, but they also fled from the desert with the puppet army that had been repeatedly beaten.

On the sixth day, the casualties on both sides reached more than 10,000. But in the evening, the battle was not over, and the two sides actually started a night battle on the night when they couldn't see their fingers.

On the night of this day, in front of various positions in Changsha City, there were flares to illuminate the entire sky from time to time, and soldiers on both sides took advantage of the night to infiltrate each other and fight.

As a result, two interspersed squads often meet unexpectedly on the road, and then the two sides shoot at each other in a burst, and then turn to other positions to continue interspersing, and the squads on both sides hit the idea of missing a blow and running immediately.

However, because the defenders of Changsha were more familiar with the position, the losses of the Japanese army in the night battle of this day were very large, and in one night of fighting, the Japanese army lost more than 5,000 people, and the defenders of Changsha also suffered more than 3,000 casualties.

However, the losses in the night battle were mainly the militia, because these militia had not been trained in night fighting, so their losses were greater, compared with the militia, the well-trained Hainan Third Army suffered very little losses in the night battle, only a few hundred people.

This is mainly due to Bai Fengxiang, who was born as a bandit, because Bai Fengxiang paid special attention to night battles, and Yang Hucheng always believed that the Chinese army could effectively reduce the advantage of Japanese equipment through night battles when the equipment was backward.

Therefore, the Third Army, which was trained by the two of them, was a very good army for night battles. And in order to give better play to the advantages of the squad in night operations. Most of the troops of the Third Army were divided into teams of 10 men and platoon of 30 men as night units.

Because the Hainan Third Army was proficient in night warfare, on the first night, the Japanese army's sneak attack on the Changsha garrison was not only unsuccessful, but suffered heavy losses.

In the early morning of the seventh day of the Battle of Changsha, Lieutenant General Shiro Inaba stroked his favorite wolf dog in front of him, and at the same time fiercely looked at the report of the commander of the Haruki Brigade about the night battle the night before.

When Inaba Shiro heard that nearly 5,000 elite soldiers had been killed in one night, Inaba Shiro's face turned pale, and when he heard that the commander of the Chunmu Brigade suggested that the Sixth Division withdraw from Changsha City and hand over the task of attacking the Hainan Third Army to the 106th Division, so that they could reap the benefits of the fishermen.

Shiro Inaba was completely furious, he let go of the big wolf dog in his hand, and scolded the commander of the Haruki Brigade, scolding Major General Haruki for losing the face of their Imperial Japanese Army, and even scolding Major General Haruki for not being worthy of being a soldier of the Empire.

What's even more excessive is that he actually wants his brother troops to be substitutes for the dead, which has seriously trampled on the bottom line of a great Japanese imperial army.

Hearing Shiro Inaba insulting Major General Haruki like this, all the generals in the command also looked at Major General Haruki with hatred, and no one thought that this usually dignified Haruki Brigade Commander would be such a despicable villain.

And Inaba Shiro's pet big wolf dog seemed to understand Inaba Shiro's curse, and after Inaba Shiro let go of its rope, he immediately pounced on Major General Haruki in front of him, biting Major General Haruki and screaming miserably.

It wasn't until Shiro Inaba saw that Major General Haruki was dying, that he ordered the guards to step forward and pull his big wolf dog away, and then he ordered the guards to send Major General Haruki to the field hospital outside the city for first aid, saying that Major General Haruki was seriously injured.

As the commander of the division, he specially approved Major General Chunmu to return to China for retirement, and today he will personally command the Chunmu Brigade to attack the Third Army in Hainan. Shiro Inaba then ordered the headquarters to move forward and station at the headquarters of the Haruki Brigade.

An hour later, the headquarters of the 6th Division had been relocated to the headquarters of the original Chunmu Brigade, which was very close to the defenders of Changsha. Seeing Shiro Inaba personally in command, the morale of the Japanese front-line troops was greatly boosted, and even the morale of the puppet army was greatly encouraged.

So on the seventh day, the daytime battle ended with the Japanese gaining the upper hand. On this day, knowing that Lieutenant General Shiro Inaba was personally in command, not only the two brigades of the 6th Division attacked desperately, but even the two brigades of the 106th Division were as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

The desperate Japanese army was also extremely strong, and the third army of Hainan carried out a life-for-life fight, and the soldiers on both sides sometimes pulled each other's grenades in the fight to seek the same end.

In the same day's tragic fighting, the Japanese army once again lost 3,000 people and more than 3,000 puppet soldiers, while the Changsha defenders also lost more than 3,000 people and more than 3,000 militiamen.

On this day, the battle loss ratio also reached 1 to 1, but the outcome of the battle was indeed different. It was only on this day that the Japanese occupied a considerable area.

This is mainly because Bai Fengxiang saw that the Japanese army was desperate, and he didn't want his troops to suffer too many casualties, but adopted the means of fighting and retreating, which reduced the casualties on both sides and allowed the Japanese army to expand its territory.

If you still want to fight for every inch of land, it is estimated that after this day's battle, the Japanese army suffered more than 10,000 casualties, but for the same reason, the Hainan Escort Army is estimated to be exhausted.

Even so, at this moment, the Hainan Escort Army, which only had 20,000 people, had already suffered more than 7,000 casualties, and more than one-third of the battle losses had been lost.

But the Hainan Third Army will not, because the Hainan Third Army is all soldiers from Guangxi, and everyone is relatives and friends who have broken bones and tendons.

Now, more than 3,000 Guangxi soldiers were killed on the battlefield in a day's battle, and the Guangxi soldiers who were still alive were already preparing to take advantage of the night to carry out a counterattack. They must show their ability to fight at night and regain all the lost territory.

At this time, in the headquarters of the Hainan Third Army in Changsha City, Bai Fengxiang was arranging tonight's combat operations, and since the next day was the day of the counterattack agreed with Li Tie and Xue Yue, he had to inflict heavy losses on the Japanese army tonight.

Only in this way, when Li Tie's reinforcements and Xue Yue's ambush soldiers attack together tomorrow, they can defeat the Japanese army, which had been demoralized all night, in one fell swoop.

It can be said that tonight's large-scale and interspersed operations of large forces are the key battles in the Battle of Changsha, and if the battle is fought well, the entire Battle of Changsha will undoubtedly be won, and if the battle is not fought well, the battle will enter a state of anxiety, and tomorrow's battle will still be a war of attrition. This is detrimental to both China and Japan.

Therefore, Bai Fengxiang personally ordered all officers above the regiment level to participate in tonight's night raid. Bring all the grenades, bazookas, and mortars you can bring. Tonight, the Hainan Third Army will send a rich arms feast to the Japanese troops, and strive to support these Japanese soldiers in one meal.

At this time, in the headquarters of the Haruki Brigade, which is now the headquarters of the Sixth Division, Inaba Shiro also guessed that the Third Army of Hainan would definitely counterattack tonight, but he did not guess how large the counterattack of the Third Army of Hainan would be, and it was estimated that it would not be less than the scale of the previous day.

Therefore, Inaba Shiro made some arrangements for the defense work tonight, and he ordered the Japanese troops in the city to be in good spirits, especially the Japanese troops at the junction of the Sino-Japanese positions, which must be on duty 24 hours a day.

At the same time, in order to better eliminate the defenders of Changsha, Inaba Shiro sent all the soldiers of the Sixth Division in his hands to the front line to strengthen the defense.

At the same time, in order to directly counterattack the defenders of Changsha the next day, he ordered the two brigades of the 106th Division to send a wing of troops each to the defense area of the 6th Division.

It is planned that the 106th Division will take over all the defense work of the 6th Division tomorrow morning when the soldiers of the 6th Division attack the defenders of Changsha. Just as Shiro Inaba was busy deploying his troops, a staff officer sent an urgent telegram.

When Inaba Shiro saw it, he couldn't help but smile, it turned out that this was a congratulatory telegram, which was personally sent by General Gangmura Ningji, commander-in-chief of the Eleventh Army.

Okamura Ninji expressed warm congratulations to Shiro Inaba for not being afraid of hardships and dangers, personally commanding the attack, and achieving brilliant results.

Now that half of Changsha City has fallen into the hands of the Japanese army, and the capture of Changsha City is just around the corner, Gangcun Ningci wishes the Sixth Division another great achievement and the early completion of the strategic task of occupying Changsha.

At the same time, the telegram also said that Gangcun Ningci had personally led the 33rd Division to the outskirts of Changsha and was resting, and would be able to reach the outside of Changsha by tomorrow morning at the latest. When the three legions meet, they will definitely be able to occupy Changsha in the shortest possible time and completely annihilate Xue Yue's troops.

Seeing Gangmura Ningji's congratulatory message, Shiro Inaba excitedly shouted a few times long live. The entire headquarters was also rejoicing at the arrival of Gangmura Ningji.

All the officers and generals who received the task in the headquarters quickly ran out of the headquarters, and they were going to do a big job tonight to welcome the arrival of the commander-in-chief with a victory.

Shiro Inaba was also very happy to see that his generals had come out of the shadow of the defeat of a few days ago, and he sat on his treasure seat, watching the officers in front of him busy, and at the same time stroking the big wolf dog that was obediently lying on the ground under his feet.

Shiro Inaba called an adjutant beside him to him and confessed to him: "My German purebred wolf dog is extremely precious, there will definitely be a big battle tonight, I will be very busy in the headquarters, I don't want to let me slack it because of my negligence."

So at night, when the battle starts, the task of taking care of him is left to you, you must make sure that he is well fed, and it is better to go out and find a few beautiful for him. It is also a hero of our empire, don't let it be too lonely. ”

Seeing Shiro Inaba give such an outrageous order, the adjutant of the Sixth Division was very depressed: "Why would such a boring task be put on by me?" Just because my name is Inuzaburo? Just give me a job of taking care of this big wolfdog? ”

Although the hated little Inu Saburo was very dissatisfied with the task given to him by Inaba Shiro, he could only agree happily with a "hi".

He reached out and took the rope of the big wolf dog into his hand, and then gently pulled the big wolf dog and thought, "I have to take care of you, do you think you are my son Junichiro Koinu?" When I go out and find some wild Chinese, I'll have to cripple you. ”
