When the news of Tangshan Leopard's success reached Tang Yikuan's ears, the gunshots in the building had already sounded on the third floor for a while, and Tang Yikuan knew that he would not be able to send troops into the building again, but he still couldn't help but send another commando team into the building with two bazooka teams. While the 90th Division was attacking the building, it sent troops and guard brigades to clear the Japanese strongholds on the periphery of the city defense headquarters building.

Lieutenant General Sakuma sat behind his desk at the City Defense Headquarters, and the chaotic movement outside the office came to his ears along with the fierce gunfire not far away. Suddenly, the door of the office was opened, and the chief of staff, Hara Sadaburo Osa, hurriedly walked in, and said after standing upright: "Your Excellency the division commander, the commander of the Ota Sadamasa Brigade has lost contact with him, and I am afraid that it will be ......."

Lieutenant General Sakuma replied expressionlessly: "Harada-kun, this is a matter of time, and I am ready to stay here and be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor! Harada Sadazaburo Osa replied with a little choked up: "Your Excellency the division commander, that is the luck of your subordinates, and your subordinates will also follow Your Excellency the division commander to be loyal to the emperor!" After speaking, Lizheng bowed deeply to Lieutenant General Sakuma before turning around and leaving the office.

The Chinese army encountered the most frantic resistance of the Japanese army on the outskirts of the city defense headquarters, and there were many cases of Japanese soldiers strapped to explosives, medicine packs, or clusters* rushing out of our bodies and dying with the attacking Chinese soldiers. In order to reduce casualties, Tangshan Leopard had to order to suspend the infantry attack, but to use the superiority in weapons, first cover the Japanese positions with artillery fire, and then use combat vehicles to guide the infantry attack.

Such an attack, although not progressing quickly, was very effective, and the Japanese "human flesh*" did not cause much damage to the chariots, but protected a large number of infantry fighters. As time passed, the attack on the bank building came to an end, and the gunfire finally subsided after a few hours of intense gunfire on the fourth floor. Soon Li Changqing came to report that he had captured the entire building, and that the Japanese commander, Major General Shimizu Masao, had committed suicide and wiped out more than 1,600 officers and men in the building.

The battle of Hengyang City came to an end, Wang Haitao breathed a sigh of relief, he did not know that the Japanese army's Lieutenant General Yamamoto Sano and Lieutenant General Sumida Lai Shiro had escaped from Hengyang City, but the victory in Hengyang was a matter of time. However, Wang Haitao's good mood was somewhat affected by Tang Longzai's call, and Tang Longzai called not long ago that the 91st Army had surrounded more than 30,000 troops with the Japanese 110th Division as the main force in the afternoon, and planned to encircle and annihilate this Japanese army. But after dark, the Japanese army suddenly launched a breakthrough to the north with the chariot unit as the lead. Due to the lack of troops in the north, after inflicting heavy losses on the Japanese army, it was still surrounded by the main force of the Japanese army, and now the 91st Army is making every effort to pursue the fleeing Japanese army.

With the two divisions of the 91st Army, it was already a major victory to inflict heavy losses on them in the field, and it was a bit unrealistic to want to annihilate them completely. Now after the battle of Hengyang City, the Japanese 11th Army has already existed in name only, and the Japanese army that can fight in the entire Hunan territory is only a few divisions of the 13th Army.

The two divisions supporting Hengyang City were also heavily damaged, and the remaining Japanese troops were afraid that they would be able to deal with them with the strength of Xue Yue's hands, so should they attack the Japanese 13th Army with Xue Yue's troops as planned, or should they hand over the 13th Army to Xue Yue to deal with, and he would lead his troops to continue the attack in the direction of Nanchang? You must know that once the important town of Nanchang is recovered, it will be a fundamental change for the form of the nation's War of Resistance.

Just when Wang Haitao was thinking about the next move of the troops, the attack on the building of the Japanese army city defense headquarters in Hengyang City had already begun. As in the previous attack, countless light and heavy machine guns, rocket launchers, and vehicle-mounted artillery bombarded the windows and doors of the building, completely shattering the idea of the Japanese army using the windows as firing points to block the Chinese army's attack.

After sealing the firing points of the Japanese counterattack, the tanks approached the building step by step, and at the same time, several assault teams, under the cover of the tanks, broke through the main gate and the windows on the first floor. These commandos already have rich experience in warfare, especially the two commandos formed by the reconnaissance regiment of the 90th Division are even more tactically excellent and have strong individual skills.

The battle inside the building began to heat up, and the Japanese were desperately resisting. Every room, every corridor, will have to fight hard to take it. In this way, the Japanese army could not save the fate of being wiped out little by little. After more than two hours of fierce fighting, the assault team fought layer by layer and cleared the Japanese army, and finally attacked the top floor.

On the top floor, after withstanding the almost suicidal resistance of the Japanese army, the commandos rushed into the innermost office, but the commandos who rushed into the office saw the scene after several Japanese officers committed suicide by disembowelment, and after identification, the bodies of Lieutenant General Sakuma, the commander of the 62nd Division of the Japanese Army, and the chief of staff Harada Sadazaburo Osa, while the other two division commanders were missing.

The report was sent to Wang Haitao as quickly as possible, and Wang Haitao did not care too much about the disappearance of the two division commanders and a group of officers of the Japanese army, what he valued was that the main forces of the three divisions of the Japanese army were annihilated in Hengyang City. Wang Haitao ordered the 90th Division and the Guard Brigade to rest on the spot and strengthen their vigilance at the same time.

The next morning, Wang Haitao and the people of the headquarters, under the protection of the guard troops, walked into the quiet Hengyang City, where the troops of the 90th Division were searching for the remnants of the enemy and clearing all corners, while the guard brigade was taking on the task of guarding the whole city, and some of the troops had already gone out to the north and east to shoulder the heavy burden of reconnaissance and oath.

The headquarters of the group army has been cleared out by Tangshan Leopard, and it is located in the building of the former Japanese army's Hengyang City Defense Headquarters. At the same time, the headquarters of the 90th Division and the headquarters of the Guards Brigade were also located in this building. Wang Haitao had just arrived outside the building under the guidance of Tangshan Leopard, when the sound of a quarrel suddenly sounded next to the guards. Wang Haitao glanced up and saw that there were two people arguing with the guard troops.

Because it was far away, Wang Haitao couldn't hear what was arguing over there, so he motioned for Tangshan Leopard to go over and take a look. After a while, Tangshan Leopard walked back and said to Wang Haitao: "Report to the commander, there are two people over there, claiming to be from the Chinese Communist Party, and they have important things to ask to see the commander, and my subordinates will not let them come, which will cause controversy." Does the Commander want to see them?"

Tangshan Leopard's words made Wang Haitao stunned for a moment, and at this time, people from the Chinese Communist Party came to the door, afraid that they would not go to the Three Treasures Hall if they had nothing to do! Wang Haitao still decided to meet them. So Wang Haitao said to Tangshan Leopard: "I'll go to the office first, there are many people here, it's not a place for conversation, you go and bring them to my office, remember not to make too much noise." After speaking, Wang Haitao walked to the building first.

Not long after Wang Haitao entered the office and sat down, the report of the Tangshan leopard came from the door. Wang Haitao responded: "Come in!" After the door opened, Tangshan Leopard Leopard walked in first, stood up and saluted, and said with a smile: "Report to the commander, I brought the people." With that, he flashed to the side. Wang Haitao looked at the door, and stood up as soon as he took a look.

Among the two people who came in, the person in front of him, Wang Haitao, didn't know, but the person behind him was a familiar person who couldn't be more acquainted, and his grandfather Wang Weikuan before he crossed over. Seeing Wang Haitao stand up suddenly, the person walking in front was startled, but Wang Weikuan's face was already full of smiles. And Wang Haitao had already strode out of the desk and stretched out his right hand to Wang Weikuan.

Wang Weikuan also stretched out his right hand, and the two hands were held together forcefully for a long time. Tangshan Leopard looked at this scene indifferently, his face was full of smiles, and the person who came in with Wang Weikuan was already full of shock, he didn't expect that the superiors sent from Yan'an would be so familiar with Wang Haitao, the commanding general of the national army.

After a long time, Wang Haitao said: "Lao Wang, I haven't seen you for several years, are you okay?" Wang Weikuan's heart was also full of emotion at this time, he witnessed Wang Haitao grow from a small security regiment to a famous anti-Japanese general, a generation of heroes who dominate one side, and he knows Wang Haitao's contribution to the CCP, and he can't help but have mixed feelings in his heart.

Wang Weikuan restrained his mind for a moment and replied: "I am very good, thank General Wang for your concern, I came here today to discuss important matters with General Wang." Wang Weikuan's tone made Wang Haitao a little uncomfortable, but he was relieved to think that Wang Weikuan didn't understand the relationship with him, and that there were others present.

Wang Haitao first let the Tangshan leopard out, and ordered the Tangshan leopard to guard the door, and no one was allowed to disturb him, and then asked Wang Weikuan to sit down. After sitting down, another person from the CCP said: "Hello General Wang, I am the underground person in charge of the CCP in Hengyang City, and my surname is He. Before, I sent a map of Hengyang City to help your army attack Hengyang City. This is Comrade Wang Weikuan, who came from Yan'an, since you are old acquaintances, you don't need me to introduce you again. ”

Wang Haitao said with a smile: "First of all, thank the Chinese Communists for their help to our department! I wonder what is the important thing that Lao Wang rushed all the way from Yan'an?" Wang Weikuan replied: "I rushed from Yan'an because I wanted General Wang's help. Wang Haitao replied with a smile: "Well, as long as I Wang Haitao can do my best, I will definitely help!

Wang Weikuan also smiled and said, "Since General Wang is so happy, I will say it directly." The first thing is that the Chinese Communists know that General Wang has made another war exploit in Hengyang, killed the enemy and captured countless people, and while congratulating him, he wants to get a batch of captured weapons, ammunition, and military supplies from General Wang. This second thing is a bit more difficult to do, and I have here a handwritten letter from Vice Chairman Zhou of the CPC Central Committee, and General Wang will understand what is going on after reading it. After speaking, Wang Weikuan took out a letter from his underwear and handed it to Wang Haitao.
