    "Everyone can see that in front of us from Yichang to Yueyang, from west to east, the enemy has deployed the 39th Division, the 13th Division, the 3rd Division, the 68th Division, and the 116th Division.  Regiment and part of the 34th Division, there are still 120,000 to 30,000 people. If the puppet military divisions are included, it can reach more than 160,000 people. And our sixth theater includes the adjustable ones near the ninth theater.  There are only 200,000 troops. The enemy and we should be equally matched, so this battle will definitely not be easy!"

    Everyone nodded and listened to Zhang Xian continue to explain.

    "It is much easier for the Japs to attack Changde than to attack Shipai." Zhang Xian continued: "You see, they can advance in multiple directions. The shortest route is to go from Ouchikou to Jinshi and Lixian County, and then cross the Lishui River and go south.  , you can go directly to Changde City, this is the first route. They also have a second route, starting from Shishou and Huarong here, just like last time, they attack Nanxian and Anxiang, cross Dongting Lake, circle west, and capture  Han Shou, insert it to the south of Changde, capture Deshan, then cross the Yuanjiang River and march to the city. There is also a third route, cross the river from Shashi, take Gong'an, run west to Shimen, and go up the Lishui River to capture Cili. This way  Let the north of Changde be opened, and then go south to take Taoyuan to form a siege of Changde City." At this point, Zhang Xian looked at the crowd, and everyone frowned. Zhang Linfu was not as arrogant as before, and was at the moment.  Mingtou was thinking hard.

    Zhang Xian continued: "These three lines are the main force to capture Changde. The enemy also has two flanking lines. One way is to capture Hanshou and block the reinforcements from Changsha in our ninth theater; the other is to the north and inserts into Wufeng Renheping and Shimen.  The front line of Taiping Street blocks the reinforcements coming from western Hubei to our north."

    After everyone heard what Zhang Xian had said, everyone started talking. Zhang Linfu still asked in disbelief: "Captain Zhang, why is your Japanese army's battle plan so detailed? Could it be that you went into the belly of the Japanese army?"  Have you passed?"

    After hearing what he said, everyone laughed. However, after laughing, they all looked at Zhang Xian with questioning eyes.  Indeed, how did Zhang Xian obtain such a complete and detailed battle plan?

    Zhang Xian smiled and had to confess honestly: "Actually, I saw this combat plan of the Japs at the commander's office before the Battle of Western Hubei. The Japs were trying to confuse us and make us think they were going to attack Changde, so they  This plan was thrown to us. Haha, but if this plan had not been leaked, the enemy would have used it to attack Changde, and Changde would have definitely been lost! Now, think about it, the enemy might also attack according to this plan.  !¡±

    Only then did everyone understand.  Commander Wang asked: "Commander Zhang, since you know so much about the Japanese's battle plan, you must have already thought of a strategy to defeat the enemy, right?"

    Zhang Xian smiled and said: "How can I be so smart? Haha, I was in the chief's department at the time, but Chief Sun and Chief of Staff Guo had been studying this plan for a long time. They had formulated a plan. I think it was  Very doable.¡±

    "Oh, tell me quickly!" Zhang Linfu urged.

    Zhang Xian came to the map again and started talking: "Actually, what Sun and Guo said is similar to what Master Zhang just said. They also felt that since the enemy's target is Changde, then they should attack  The enemy was attracted near Changde, and then transferred the offensive, and then surrounded and annihilated it in the area between Changde and Dongting Lake with powerful external troops. This required the coordinated operations of the Sixth Theater and the Ninth Theater, and only the strength of our Sixth Theater  is not enough."

    "Oh!" Everyone nodded, Wang Hui said: "It seems that the senior management department has already made arrangements. Haha, we are a little worried."

    "However, no matter how we fight, the troops guarding Changde will be meat bait and may become cannon fodder!" Zhang Xian finally said.

    Everyone was stunned and then fell silent.  Zhang Xian is not wrong, but everyone knows that the task of defending the city must fall on the 74th Army, and the 74th Army is currently stationed on the outskirts of Changde with the 57th Division.

    *************************

    Japanese aircraft frequently appeared in the sky over Changde, which made everyone nervous.

    At the beginning, the common people heard the air-raid sirens and took shelter in air-raid shelters. However, after a few times, they did not see any Japanese planes dropping bombs. Most of these planes were reconnaissance planes, and they dropped only leaflets and messages to persuade people to surrender.  propaganda materials, so people began to be careless and did not hide when they heard the air raid siren. So at the end of September, disaster struck.

    For Zhang Xian, who had experienced the bombing of Chongqing, he certainly knew how dangerous the appearance of enemy planes was, so he called Tian Xiuxiu more than once to warn Tian Xiuxiu that he must take his son to hide in the air-raid shelter as soon as he heard the air-raid siren.  Regarding the city defense of Changde, the City Defense Departmentnbsp; Zhang Xian suddenly woke up, yes, maybe they are not here.  Thinking of this level, my heart immediately opened up a lot.  However, if they went to the air-raid shelter and the alarm was lifted for so long, why haven't they come back yet?  Even the mute was nowhere to be seen.

    ¡°Go to the air-raid shelter!¡± He said hurriedly, remembering the Chongqing 18th-ladder air-raid shelter tragedy that year. There were too many people and poor ventilation inside, and many people suffocated to death.  Thinking of this, his heart couldn't help but beat wildly.

    They had just turned one street when they heard Tian Xiuxiu¡¯s familiar shout: ¡°Axian!¡±

    Zhang Xian turned around and saw Tian Xiuxiu, with disheveled hair and black mud on her face, running over crying. As soon as she saw him, she knelt down on the ground and burst into tears.

    An ominous premonition came over him. Zhang Xian pulled Tian Xiuxiu up and asked her loudly: "Where is my son? Where is my son?"

    Tian Xiuxiu cried louder, but couldn't say a word.

    "Say it quickly!" Zhang Xian asked, roaring like crazy.

    Tian Xiuxiu took a deep breath and then said sadly: "The mute came out with Xiaohu in his arms. I was in the front and he was in the back. When he came out, the house was blown down and the two of them were buried inside!"

    Zhang Xian slapped Tian Xiuxiu fiercely and ran towards the ruins without saying a word.  He hated her so much, why didn't this wife listen to him?  Why are you so careless like these Changde people?  How many times did he have to tell her, how could the Japanese have any kindness at all?  It was precisely because of her carelessness that she not only got involved with her own son, but also got involved with such an excellent soldier of her own.

    *******************************

    Zhang Xian didn't know how much soil or bricks he had dug up. His hands were full of blood and his fingernails were peeled off, until Xiong Sanwa called a battalion to dig and pulled him aside.  He finally took a breath, but tears were already covering his cheeks.  In the past few years, he had experienced too much sadness and suffered too many blows. This time was no more outstanding than any other, but his tears could not stop flowing.  He knew that as a man, blood should be spilled on the battlefield, but tears should flow in his heart.

    ¡°There¡¯s movement!¡± Sima Yun shouted from the front.

    As if Zhang Xian had taken a stimulant, he became energetic again. He ran to the location pointed by Sima Yun and listened. Sure enough, he heard someone shouting inside. He was very familiar with that voice: "Yes."  Mute, he's still alive inside!" He couldn't help shouting.

    This was like a forced injection that lifted the morale of the numb soldiers. Tian Xiuxiu, who was standing far away and crying, stopped crying at this time. Zhang Xian's words  , let her also see hope.

    Zhang Xian originally lived in a two-story building with a courtyard, which was considered a luxury house in Changde. However, when it collapsed, it was much more difficult to dig than the low-rise houses nearby.  Following the source of the sound, everyone carefully dug out the piles of blank walls and bricks. Zhang Xian saw a huge beam inside that was supported on the ground. It was this huge beam that supported a wall.  The high wall did not fall down, but also created a small space. The mute knelt in this space, holding Xiaohu in his arms.

    A burst of joy and sadness arose spontaneously. Zhang Xian crawled in front of the mute. The mute opened a pair of big black and bright eyes, smiled at him, and handed the baby in his arms to him.  He took his son and saw Xiaohu wrapped in a blanket, sleeping soundly without consciousness at all, as if the sky was falling and it had nothing to do with him.

    The mute was pulled out, and miraculously he was not injured. The only discomfort was that his two clothes were numb and stiff because he had been kneeling on the ground for too long. With the help of his companions, it took him a long time to move.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
