Under the command of Major General Tang Zhence, the Japanese did not stop attacking after dark, and until nine o'clock in the evening, four large-scale attacks were launched. After the last attack was still stubbornly repelled by the defenders, Major General Tang Zhence saw that his soldiers were exhausted and had no fighting spirit, so he reluctantly stopped the attack. Wei Hai and the officers and men of the 544th Regiment on the position also breathed a sigh of relief.

The frenzied attack of the Japanese army made it more and more difficult for the 544th Regiment to block it, and the most dangerous one, even Wei Hai and the guard company went up to the top to defeat the Japanese army. After a day of fierce fighting, the remaining two battalions of the 544th Regiment were reduced by half, and looking at the sacrificed and wounded comrades, Wei Hai's heart was more difficult than anyone else's.

These are all soldiers of Longzhou, many of whom are still related to him, but now they have all fallen in this foreign land. However, the Japanese army also failed to please them, and hundreds of corpses were left in front of the position. At ten o'clock in the evening, after Wei Hai and the 544th Regiment had completed their mission, Wei Hai ordered the whole regiment to withdraw to Jiangjiayuan Town. The officers and men carried the bodies of their fallen comrades and the seriously wounded, and quietly retreated with the help of the lightly wounded.

Wei Hai personally led the guard company to break off the whole regiment, and when he saw that the soldiers had left the position, he continued to retreat. When Wei Hai and the guard company entered the north gate of Jiangjiayuan Town, Tang Yiqun stood at the door and waited for Wei Hai and them to arrive. After saluting each other, Tang Yiqun took the initiative to stretch out his right hand to Wei Hai, and Wei Hai immediately stretched out his right hand as well. The two big hands were firmly clasped together, and there was no need for any words at this time, everything was in the grip of these two hands.

Wei Hai and Tang Yiqun walked side by side towards the town, and along the way, Wei Hai saw that the logistics department was loading the trucks with arms and supplies, and at the same time, the wounded were also moving to Changsha City. The 543rd Regiment also withdrew and is now being deployed on the east and west sides of the city wall. With the strength of the 271st Brigade, defending the relatively strong Jiangjiayuan Town for one day should be a relatively easy task. Therefore, Tang Yiqun and several of his leaders also showed relaxed expressions on their faces.

On the 10th of January, the Nanzhushan position held by the 272nd Brigade and the Jiangjiayuan Town position held by the 271st Brigade were fiercely attacked by the Japanese Sixth Division and the Third Division at the same time. The Japanese army dispatched planes and heavy artillery to attack in turn, but the two brigades of the 90th Division were worthy of being the most elite divisions of the 90th Army, and they used the terrain to block the Japanese troops from their positions.

The 40th Division, on the other hand, suffered its first blow on this day. In two days, the 40th Division captured Tongjing Town and prepared to launch an attack on the high ground of the Ordnance Institute where the headquarters of the 463rd Brigade was located on the 10th. Lieutenant General Aoki Seiichi, commander of the division, expressed satisfaction with the progress of the troops, and after capturing the town of Tongjing, he placed the headquarters of the division and regiment in the town of Tongjing.

Lieutenant General Aoki Chengichi didn't know that Tongjing Town was ordered by Wei Erxi to the 879th Regiment and let them give it up on their own initiative, otherwise they would not want to capture Tongjing Town if they were given three more days to the 40th Division. Wei Erxi originally wanted the two regiments guarding Jumping Horse Town to give the Japanese army a break from the flank, and then cooperate with him from the front, hurt the Japanese 40th Division, and buy time for guarding the high ground of the ordnance station.

However, from the Japanese army's two-day offensive, Wei Erxi found that the strength of the Japanese army's 40th division was much worse than that of those permanent divisions of the first type. Not to mention that this 40th Division is not as good as divisions like the 5th Division and the 6th Division, and even divisions like the 16th Division and the 18th Division, Wei Erxi has the idea of putting the Japanese army into Tongjing Town and surrounding them and beating them up.

This action plan was reported to Wang Haitao, and Wang Haitao agreed to his plan out of trust in Wei Erxi, but Wang Haitao also reminded Wei Erxi that his 463rd Brigade had more recruits, and its combat effectiveness was no better than that of the 90th and 93rd Divisions, so he must not underestimate the enemy. At the same time, Tang Longzai also paid attention to the actions of the 463rd Brigade. With Wang Haitao's affirmation, Wei Erxi was relieved, and discussed some details with several of his regiment leaders, so that he could give up Tongjing Town.

On the morning of the 10th, Lieutenant General Aoki Seiichi was about to give the order to attack the high ground of the armory, when suddenly a fierce gunfire rang out from the southeast of the castle behind him. Lieutenant General Aoki Seiichi was about to send someone to check the situation, and some of his subordinates came in to report that the artillery position of the 40th Wing of the Mountain Artillery in the southeast of the city had been attacked by a large number of Shina troops, and the commander of the wing, Shiraishi Kuyasu Osa, asked for urgent support.

Lieutenant General Aoki Seiichi was stunned by his subordinates' report, Hasn't the Shina army been retreating all the time? How could a large number of troops appear behind his own division? After thinking about it carefully, Lieutenant General Aoki Seiichi judged that it must have been an attack launched by a small group of Shina troops in order to delay time. However, the mountain artillery wing was very important and could not afford to be missed, and Lieutenant General Aoki Seiichi immediately ordered to send troops to the 235th Wing in the east of the castle to support the mountain artillery wing.

Before the heralds left the headquarters of the division, a large number of shells suddenly fell in Tongjing Town, and the violent explosion was mixed with the screams of the Japanese army, and the entire Tongjing Town was in chaos. Attacking the Japanese mountain artillery wing outside the city were the 881st Regiment and the 882nd Regiment, which had been lurking for a day and a night. In order to cooperate with the attack of these two regiments, Wei Erxi personally commanded 27 75-caliber field guns and 54 120-heavy mortars on the high ground of the ordnance station to launch an artillery bombardment on Tongjing Town.

Tongjing Town is not big, and after the 40th Division of the Japanese Army entered Tongjing Town, it immediately filled Tongjing Town to the brim. For many days, the Chinese army was defeated all the way, and there was never a counterattack and large-scale artillery bombardment, which made the arrogant Japanese army relax their vigilance, and even the division commander, Lieutenant General Aoki Seiichi, only ordered to strengthen the vigilance to prevent the troops from attacking at night, and never thought that they would be bombarded by the Chinese army on a large scale.

Wei Erxi stood on the high ground of the ordnance station, holding a telescope and looking at the bombed Tongjing Town, with a smile on his face. The shelling lasted for 20 minutes, and the smoke and fire had already enveloped the entire Tongjing Town, and Wei Erxi saw that the bombing was almost complete, and ordered the artillery to stop the bombardment. As soon as the artillery bombardment stopped, officers and men of the 463rd Brigade appeared in several directions in Tongjing Town.

From the high ground of the Ordnance Institute, it was the 880th Regiment that had been raising elite animals for many days, the 1st Battalion of the 879th Regiment was attacking the east gate, and the 2nd Battalion of the 879th Regiment was attacking the west gate. These two battalions only feinted, the purpose was to defeat the Japanese army, and the main attack was still the 880th Regiment. The 881st Regiment and the 882nd Regiment attacked the south gate of Tongjing Town to prevent the Japanese army from escaping after eliminating the Japanese Mountain Artillery Wing as planned.

The Chinese army suddenly switched from defense to attack, and the 40th Division was taken by surprise. When the Japanese army recovered from the artillery bombardment, they had just begun to form a group, and before they could count the number of people, they found that the Chinese army was besieging from three sides. Because the mountain artillery wing in the southeast was under attack, and the Chinese troops were also found outside the south gate, Aoki Seiichi calmed down and ordered to hold on to Tongjing Town first.

With this order, the officers of all levels of the 40th Division began to mobilize their forces and go up to the city wall to defend it. The quality of the Japanese army was still good, and when the officers and men of the 463rd Brigade rushed to the city wall of Tongjing Town, the Japanese army had already gone up to the city wall, and even several Type 92 infantry guns were sent to the city wall in the north and south directions. Wei Lixuan, the commander of the 880th Regiment, saw that the opportunity to rush to the city gate had passed, so he ordered to build an offensive position first according to the plan, and then attack the city after making the right move.

At this time, the town had been bombarded with holes, and the corpses of fallen Japanese soldiers were everywhere, and the entire 40th Division suffered heavy losses. The sound of artillery in the mountain artillery wing outside the city gradually stopped, and Lieutenant General Aoki Seiichi received the last news from the wing commander Shiraishi Hiyasu Daisa, who was a deadly telegram, and now he heard the gunfire and stopped, knowing that the artillery wing was already unlucky.

In the face of the sudden change, Lieutenant General Aoki Seiichi wanted to cry without tears, and then he realized that the defeat of the Tianzhi Army all the way was actually a big trap, and his 40th Division unknowingly jumped into this trap. Now his 40th Division has suffered heavy losses, and he is no longer able to attack Changsha City.

Now Lieutenant General Aoki Seiichi can only do is to hold on to this Tongjing town first, and then see if the situation can break out of the encirclement of the Shina army and retreat to the rear. However, out of caution, Lieutenant General Aoki Seiichi still reported all the situations that had happened to his division to Commander Yuki Anami. The 40th Division was ambushed by the Chinese army, and the situation of falling into the heavy encirclement of the Chinese army at Tongjing Town was quickly reported by the men of Commander Anan Weiji.

This report gave Anan Wei's generals a slap in the face, which made him dizzy, and he didn't slow down for a long time. Although he knew that it was the ace of the Chinese Army and the famous 90th Army guarding Changsha City, the commander of Anan Weiji, who had never fought with the 90th Army, was hot-headed by the reports of several divisions and regiments attacking smoothly, and he didn't take this 90th Army seriously at all.

The report of Lieutenant General Seiichi Aoki, which is now on the desk, has sobered up a few points for Commander Anami. Commander Anan Weiji did not think of giving up the capture of Changsha City now, because after all, he had an advantage in both the number of soldiers and the firepower. After Commander Anan came to his senses, he immediately ordered the 4th Division, which was always behind, to quickly advance to Tongjing Town to support the besieged 40th Division.

The battle in Tongjing Town has reached a white-hot point, and the 880th Regiment, which attacked the most fiercely, used all the heavy weapons that the regiment could use, not only dozens of mortars were bombarding the city wall of Tongjing Town, but also dozens of heavy machine guns kept firing at the Japanese troops on the city wall, and the Japanese troops who were hit by the dense rain of bullets could not even lift their heads on the city wall. Some soldiers carried bazookas, approached 100 meters away from the city gate, and bombarded the city gate with rockets.

At the beginning of the city wall at the north gate of Tongjing Town, an infantry squadron with dissatisfaction came up, and two Type 92 infantry guns and four mortars were also brought up. However, in the first shelling of the 880th Regiment, several guns were all reimbursed, and most of the soldiers were killed and wounded in the artillery fire. The squadron commander in charge of the command sent someone to urgently ask for help from his superiors, but the town was still in chaos, and the soldiers sent for help finally found a large officer and reported the situation to him.
