Wang Haitao invited Li Li to sit down on the sofa in the office, and asked the guard to bring tea, and then said to Li Li: "Miss Li can ask if you want to know, but there are some questions that cannot be answered, so I have no comment." After Li Li took out the pen and notebook, she calmed down and asked: "General Wang, everyone knows that since you participated in the Anti-Japanese War, you have led the tiger army under your command and won many great victories against Japan.

Li Li's question made Wang Haitao fall into memories for a while, and after a while, Wang Haitao replied: "Miss Li's question is a bit big, but it's a long story to answer." After speaking, Wang Haitao looked at Li Li with a curious expression, and could only inadvertently save Fenggu after returning from overseas, and went to Evil Tiger Mountain to start talking, and kept talking about this battle of Changsha.

Naturally, there are some people who avoid it, and there is also a substitution, so I said it for more than two hours in one breath. Li Li listened quietly, constantly making notes in the notebook, and sometimes inserting a question. It wasn't until Wang Haitao finished speaking that Li Li stopped the pen in her hand, and then said: "Commander Wang's experience can write a legendary novel, I wonder if Commander Wang can let me make your legendary experience public?"

Wang Haitao smiled and said: "These are all true, and I am not afraid of you writing them, but you can't write too exaggerated." Li Li agreed with a smile and took a few more photos of Wang Haitao with her camera. When Li Li said goodbye to Wang Haitao, Wang Haitao found that it was noon, so he left Li Li to have a light meal in the canteen, Li Li hesitated for a moment and stayed.

In the afternoon, Li Li locked herself in her residence and began to sort out the recorded materials, and as the materials were sorted out, Wang Haitao's image appeared in her mind again and again. Li Li is a woman with a lot of personality, she has a very good family, her brother serves in the Central Army, and he has the rank of lieutenant colonel. As a family*, her parents and relatives love her very much.

Li Li, who is twenty-four years old this year, also fell in love for the second time, but because her personality was too strong and she didn't look down on those gentlemen, her second love failed not long after. Li Li's parents were also anxious to persuade her, but Li Li was bent on finding a real man, and the matter dragged on. was just an exclusive interview with Wang Haitao, and Li Li unexpectedly found that this Wang Haitao military commander had entered his heart.

In the next two days, Li Li made excuses to see Wang Haitao every day, and Wang Haitao received Li Li politely every time. When Li Li went to look for Wang Haitao again on the third day, she found that Wang Haitao was preparing to travel. It turned out that Tang Renxin from Chongzuo called Wang Haitao, saying that the troops were all in place and could immediately start the battle plan against the 16th Division of the Japanese army, but Wang Haitao still decided to go to Chongzuo City in person.

After Li Li learned that Wang Haitao was going to Chongzuo City to personally command the battle, she had to go with Wang Haitao, and Wang Haitao didn't agree at first, but after Li Li said that if Wang Haitao didn't agree with her going, she would go by herself with several other reporters, Wang Haitao thought twice and agreed to take Li Li to Chongzuo City together. Li Li was so happy at this time, she asked Wang Haitao to wait for her for a while, then hurried back to her residence, and after a while, she rushed to Wang Haitao's place again.

Li Li hurriedly came out of her residence when she met several colleagues who came back, and when these colleagues heard that Li Li was going to Chongzuo City for a battlefield visit, they couldn't sit still, so they asked Li Li to take them with them. Li Li couldn't resist them, so she had to take them to Wang Haitao together. Wang Haitao saw that several reporters had come, and their heads were all too big, and after the persuasion failed, he could only ask Tangshan Leopard to send a guard platoon to be responsible for the safety of these reporters.

Wang Haitao sent someone to inform Director Wang Wenxuan of them, and then drove to Chongzuo City with a guard battalion. Tang Renxin and Su Zuxin got the news and were already waiting for Wang Haitao's arrival at the headquarters. Wang Haitaoguang arranged those reporters, and then rushed to the headquarters, and when he saw Tang Renxin and them, he didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly: "What is the situation now?"

After Tang Renxin explained the situation to Wang Haitao in a hurry, Wang Haitao already knew everything about the current situation. According to the deployment of the battle plan, the 90th Division has already built fortifications on the road below the mountain, and the four regiments of the 210th Division are also ambushing on the eight-kilometer mountain road along the line from Natong Mountain to Yabei Mountain.

Wang Haitao listened to Tang Renxin's report and looked at the sand table. After Tang Renxin finished his report, Wang Haitao said to Tang Renxin: "Renxin, you are the commander-in-chief of this battle, I am only here to observe the situation, and you are still responsible for issuing combat orders!" Tang Renxin was stunned for a moment before he replied: "Yes, military seat!" Then Tang Renxin said to the confidential officers around him: "Call the 462nd Brigade and order them to abandon Jiangzhou Town and withdraw to Natongshan to set up defenses." ”

The confidential officer replied: "Yes, sir!" Turning around, Tang Renxin and Su Zuxin glanced at each other, knowing that the battle plan would officially begin with the issuance of this order, and couldn't help but show a trace of excitement in their eyes. When the order was conveyed to Li Changwu, the commander of the 462nd Brigade in Jiangzhou Town, Li Changwu was still making preparations to hold Jiangzhou Town.

Six days earlier, the first battalion of the 879th Regiment had withdrawn after holding the second line of defense for three days, and the Japanese troops were not slow to move, immediately occupying the second line of positions and launching an attack on the third line. The third line of position was defended by the 3rd Battalion of the 877th Regiment, which was assisted in defending, and Wei Huang's order to the battalion commander Zhong Brigade was to hold the position for two days and two nights.

The defenders were replaced by the three battalions of the 877th Regiment, and the attacking Japanese troops were also replaced. Six days ago, in desperation, Oda Ichiro gathered the soldiers of the 20th Infantry Wing who could fight, and attacked the second line of position several times, although he was assisted by heavy artillery and aircraft, he was still unable to capture the second line. Just when Oda Ichiro was about to despair, the 1st Battalion of the 879th Regiment abandoned its position.

This left Oda Ichiro in a desperate situation, and after hastily occupying the second line of defense, he immediately went to see the division commander, Lieutenant General Makino Shiro. When Lieutenant General Shiro Makino heard Ichiro Oda's report that the 20th Infantry Wing had finally taken the second line of defense of the Shina people after a hard battle, although he was very dissatisfied with Ichiro Oda's almost exhaustion of the 20th Infantry Wing, the 20th Infantry Wing had won the battle, so it was not good to blame Oda Ichiro too much.

Oda Ichiro breathed a sigh of relief when Lieutenant General Shiro Makino had the 33rd Infantry Wing replace the 20th Infantry Wing, which had suffered heavy losses. After the 33rd Infantry Wing was led by Wing Captain Tatsunosuke Suzuki, Suzuki Tatsunosuke Osa, Suzuki Tatsunosuke Osa, realized what kind of opponent he was facing. With the assistance of heavy artillery and aircraft, as well as the assistance of the field artillery wing, the attack launched by himself was simply repelled again and again by the defenders on the position.

After two days of hard fighting, the 33rd Infantry Wing also paid the price of more than 1,000 casualties, and only then did it capture the third line of defense after the defenders retreated. The fourth line of defense is also the last line of defense outside Jiangzhou Town, which relies on the city wall of Jiangzhou Town, and is supported by the fire of heavy weapons on the city wall, which is the most difficult line of defense among several fortifications outside the city.

The 33rd Wing attacked the fourth line of defense for two days, and heavy artillery and aircraft ravaged the fortifications and bunkers on the position over and over again, and even the wall of Jiangzhou Town was blown down for a while, but it still failed to capture this line of defense, let alone capture Jiangzhou Town. The 33rd Wing fought a few days of attack battles, and more than half of the casualties were also lost, and the morale of the troops was also very low.

There are not many available troops in Jiangzhou Town now, and Li Changwu only has one reinforcement in his hand, 881, as a reserve, and has not engaged the enemy, and the other three regiments have already been used. The 878th Regiment had been sent to Natong Mountain, and the 879th Regiment fought with the Japanese army on the outskirts of Jiangzhou Town for more than ten days, with more than half of the casualties. The 1st and 3rd Battalions of the 877th Regiment were defended on the wall of Jiangzhou Town.

If the order for the headquarters to retreat is not issued, Li Changwu will be ready to use the 881st Regiment, and now that the order for the headquarters to retreat has been conveyed, Li Changwu is also relieved. Li Changwu immediately ordered the 879th Regiment to hold out until 12 o'clock at night, and then withdraw from its position and move in the direction of Natongshan. He first sent a battalion of the 881st Regiment to escort all the wounded back to Chongzuo City, and at the same time sent back all the artillery that could not carry it up the mountain.

After the wounded were sent away, Li Changwu ordered the remaining troops of the 881st Regiment to cover the transfer of the brigade headquarters to Natongshan, while he himself took a guard company and insisted on waiting for all the troops outside to withdraw and move together. It was not until the night that the 879th Regiment first withdrew from the position, and then the 877th Regiment guarding the city wall also withdrew, and then Li Changwu led his troops to move to Natong Mountain.

The Japanese army found that the opposing defenders' positions were empty early the next morning, and the entire town of Jiangzhou was also empty. Suzuki Tatsunosuke Osa hurriedly reported the situation to the division commander, Lieutenant General Makino Shiro, and soon Commander Masaharu Honma also got the report. Although Commander Honma Masaharu could not figure out why the Shina army had retreated suddenly, he nevertheless ordered the capture of the town of Eshu and set up the temporary headquarters in the town.

After the Japanese army rested for a day, Lieutenant General Masaharu Honma sent a number of reconnaissance units to reconnoiter in the direction of the city. In the evening, the reconnaissance unit came back and reported that the defensive positions set up by the Chinese army had been found on the Wubei Mountain, five kilometers outside Chongzuo City, but the Chinese army was not found on the road from Jiangzhou Town to the Wubei Mountain. The report of the reconnaissance unit led Lieutenant General Masaharu Honma to believe that the Shina army would fight him in a decisive battle under the castle of Chongzuo.
