Within 10 seconds, all 19 rockets were fired, and more than 200 rockets were fired out within 15 guns within one minute, and the power of each rocket was equivalent to a 130-caliber heavy cannon shell.

After a while, Li Changwu, the commander of the 462nd Brigade, came back to his senses and said to the division commander Tang Longzai: "Grandma's, if there are more such artillery, these little Japanese will all be blown to ashes." Shizao, with your relationship with Junzao, can you leave this treasure in our division?" Tang Longzai also came back to his senses and said: "Come on, the whole army has these fifteen treasures, I heard Junzao say that this is the most advanced weapon in Germany, or the German head of state named Xi or something personally nodded before giving Junzao these fifteen doors, and the rockets are even more expensive, and there is nowhere to buy them if you have money, and you still want to keep them? If you can lend them to our division, you will give me face! Don't bother, get ready to attack!"

The 4th Division of the Japanese Army was preparing to attack in a frame formation, and this artillery fire covered the 37th Wing on the offensive position in its entirety, and in the first few minutes, except for more than 200 officers and men who were lucky enough to survive, all the other officers and men were buried in a sea of fire. Lieutenant General Kitano Kanichi, the commander of the division, who was frightened, gave the order to retreat without hesitation.

Just when the 4th Division was retreating in a hurry, the 211th Division Armored Regiment rushed out of Tongjing Town under the cover of the 877th Regiment of the 462nd Brigade. The strength of the armored regiment of the 211th Division is not strong among several divisions, and it is not even equipped with heavy tanks, and the main force is eight Type 62 light tanks, supplemented by ten heavy armored vehicles and eighteen light armored vehicles. These tanks and armored vehicles were drawn from the army's armored brigade by Wang Haitao to form the 211th Division, otherwise other divisions have armored regiments, only 211 does not, and it is unreasonable.

That's it, these tanks and armored vehicles are not something that the Japanese army can stop in a panic, and the Fourth Division's desire to attack is not strong, so now there is even more excuse, and the withdrawal is called a hurry. The 40th Division, which had been following them, was left behind. Before the 40th Division could understand what was going on, the armored regiment of the 211th Division was killed in front of it.

After the 40th Division suffered a setback, it has not slowed down, this time it is following behind the 4th Division, as an auxiliary to the 4th Division's attack, and now the 4th Division is retreating desperately and giving up the 40th Division, and the commander of the 40th Division, Lieutenant General Aoki Seiichi, angrily scolded the commander of the 4th Division, Lieutenant General Kitano Kenzo.

By the time Lieutenant General Aoki Seiichi also ordered a retreat, it was too late, and the 211th Division Armored Regiment had already been directly inserted into his ranks, and the 40th Division was defeated in the chaos, and part by part was divided and surrounded by the 462nd Brigade, and then annihilated. Two hours later, Lieutenant General Seiichi Aoki and his divisional headquarters were surrounded along with about a thousand soldiers.

The Japanese army was still ready to make a final stubborn resistance, and after Tang Longzai arrived, he saw that some Japanese troops were going to resist to the end, so he simply ordered the self-propelled artillery battalion behind to cover it with artillery fire. Eighteen 105-caliber self-propelled howitzers, plus the vehicle-mounted artillery of the tanks, and the mortars of various regiments, in ten minutes, the surrounded Japanese troops had been bombed to pieces, and the 462nd Brigade used two regiments to make a charge, and the battle ended.

Lieutenant General Aoki Seiichi became the first Japanese lieutenant general officer to die in the Battle of Changsha, and when the soldiers who cleaned up the battlefield brought Lieutenant General Aoki's command knife and collar badge and other items to Tang Longzai, Tang Longzai knew that they were surrounding the headquarters of the Japanese 40th Division. Because of the delay in encircling and annihilating the 40th Division of the Japanese Army, the 4th Division of the Japanese Army escaped the pursuit of the 211th Division.

However, as soon as they crossed the Liuyang River, they were attacked by the Eighteenth Army led by Huang Wei and fell into a bitter battle again. This time, the 90th Army exerted all its strength and launched a counterattack against the Japanese army from three directions. The 211th Division was the first to achieve results. And the 210th Division went through a bitter battle. The 460th Brigade of the 210th Division coordinated with the divisional armored regiment to attack from the northeast, and they faced the Japanese 6th Division and the independent mixed 18th Brigade.

If there was only the Sixth Division, which had already lost all its strength and lost its troops, this battle would not be difficult to fight, but the difficult thing was that as soon as the Sixth Division was defeated, the independent mixed 18th Brigade Regiment behind them would rise up. The 18th Separate Mixed Brigade Regiment had five infantry brigades, one mountain artillery brigade. They and a tank brigade and a siege heavy mortar brigade had just been reinforced on the evening of the 13th.

The 18th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade had just been reinforced, and it was fully loaded, and the soldiers were in high spirits. When the 6th Division was bombarded by heavy artillery, Major General Di Bujiagui, the brigade commander who was preparing to take over the attack of the 6th Division, saw that the situation was not right, and immediately ordered the troops to defend on the spot, so when the 6th Division was defeated, the 18th Brigade was not chaotic when it was independently mixed.

The defensive position of the 18th Brigade was very poor because of the time relationship, but his mountain artillery brigade brought a threat to the attacking armored regiment, and the Japanese tank brigade of eight Type 97 medium tanks and twelve light tanks were also killed, and the armored regiment of the 210th Division met the opponent. In the face of the prepared resistance of the Japanese army, the experienced brigade commander Wei Bin conveyed a series of orders.

First of all, Wei Bin ordered the self-propelled artillery battalion that followed up to destroy the Japanese mountain artillery position, as long as the Japanese artillery was eliminated, then the armored regiment could play to its fullest. As for the heavy mortars of the Japanese army, there were not many of them, and the mortars of the whole brigade could take out the opponent with a single salvo. Sure enough, it took less than ten minutes, and all the Japanese artillery was silent, and then it was time to see the armored regiment ravaging the Japanese tank brigade.

The Japanese Army's Type 97 medium tank and the German-made old No. 2 tank in the armored regiment still have a fight, but the many LT-38 tanks in the armored regiment are enough to defeat these Type 97 medium tanks, not to mention the existence of several Cheetah heavy tanks. The Japanese army was also desperate, and these tanks desperately approached the tanks of the armored regiment, hoping to attack the tanks of the armored regiment with artillery at close range.

However, they were often targeted by several tanks at the same time before they could get close to the tanks of the armored regiment, and then they were fired into a ball of fire by several cannons. Only two Type 97 medium tanks approached the Cheetah tank, and at a distance of 50 meters, the armor-piercing shells fired by the 57 mm short-barreled gun on the Type 97 medium tank failed to penetrate the frontal armor of the Cheetah tank. In the stunned eyes of the personnel in the Japanese tank, the Cheetah tank used the return fire of the vehicle-mounted artillery to directly explode the two Type 97 tanks.

Having eliminated the Japanese tank brigade, the tanks of the armored brigade rushed directly to the defensive positions of the Japanese army, which had been bombarded with artillery fire. Seeing that the general situation was gone, the brigade commander of the 18th Brigade, which was independently mixed into the 18th Brigade, ruthlessly left one infantry brigade behind, and then the other infantry brigades also retreated. After the break, the infantry brigade knew that there would be many bad lucks, but they still did not retreat, and some of the soldiers even aroused their ferocity, and rushed to the attacking tanks with explosives bags.

Under the desperate attack of the Japanese infantry brigade, the attack of the 460th Brigade was also stopped. After they completely annihilated the Japanese infantry Dayang and killed the Japanese captain Waiyuan Jinzhongsa, the 18th Brigade was independently mixed and left the battlefield. Wei Bin was not in a hurry to catch up, he knew that on the way of the Japanese army's escape, there were more national army troops waiting for them.

Here at the North Gate, after bombarding the 3rd Division and the 14th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Army with heavy artillery, the armored brigade of the army rushed out of Changsha City, and behind them were the officers and men of the guard brigade in armored personnel carriers and armored vehicles. After opening a bloody road, the armored brigade did not entangle with the Japanese army, but directly penetrated the Japanese position, and the officers and men of the guard brigade surpassed the defeated Japanese army and marched northward.

After the armored brigade and the guard brigade rushed over, the armored regiment of the 90th Division behind them, under the cover of the 461st Brigade of the 211th Division, came up and killed. The 90th Division Armored Regiment was the first armored regiment formed by Wang Haitao, which contained domestically produced tanks and the first batch of armored vehicles bought from Germany that Wang Haitao took out of the munitions warehouse. These tanks and armored vehicles have endured many major battles and have been used for a long time, but under the careful maintenance of the fighters, they have performed well in all aspects.

Now they have been killed, allowing the already defeated Japanese army to flee faster. As soon as the 3rd Division of the Japanese Army and the 14th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade crossed the Liuyang River, they encountered the 99th Army from behind. The 99th Army's weapons and equipment were slightly poor, but its morale was strong, and the Japanese army was newly defeated and had no intention of fighting, so the Japanese army that killed it changed direction and fled in embarrassment.

By the time the 461st Brigade and the Armored Regiment self-propelled howitzer battalion also crossed the Liuyang River, the 1st Division of the 99th Army was cleaning up the battlefield, and the large army had already gone to pursue the Japanese army. The 461st Brigade could only follow behind the 99th Army and continue to pursue the fleeing Japanese troops. By the evening of the 14th, all units of the 90th Army had pursued the Liuyang River, and the fastest armored brigade and guard brigade had crossed the Laodao River and advanced toward the Miluo River.

Wang Haitao sat in the military headquarters of the 90th Army in Changsha City, constantly receiving information from all sides, until all the troops chased after the Liuyang River, Wang Haitao finally breathed a sigh of relief. The siege of Changsha City has been resolved, and all units are pursuing the Japanese army as planned, and now Wang Haitao hopes that other national army units can arrive at the designated position on time and carry out further attacks on the Japanese army.

Wang Haitao still had some worries about the attack of the armored brigade and the guard brigade, and Yueyang City was also a fortified city, so could these two brigades successfully take Yueyang City? And whether the Japanese army would mobilize troops to rescue Yueyang City, so that the armored brigade and the guard brigade would only suffer a loss. However, Wang Haitao believes that the strength of his two brigades may not necessarily take Yueyang City smoothly, but it is also unlikely that he will suffer losses, after all, the combat effectiveness of these two brigades is there.
