    Commander Sun and Chief of Staff Guo left, and at the same time the fate of the 57th Division was sealed.  Before leaving, all the materials and personnel that the 57th Division lacked were fully equipped, including the deputy division commander, staff department, political department, etc., and even Zhang Xian's deputy commander and political director were fully deployed. It is obvious that this  The Hu Ben Zhi is not something to be taken lightly. It has much priority over other troops in terms of rationing.

    However, Zhang Xian could also see that the two officers, Sun and Guo, actually appreciated his speech at the meeting, but they did not take it seriously.  In their opinion, the Japanese are definitely coming, but they are not necessarily as dangerous as Zhang Xian said. Everyone thinks that the enemy will conduct another large-scale battle involving more than 100,000 people shortly after the Battle of Western Hubei.  Extremely fast and powerful supplies are needed to make up for the shortcomings left by the previous war, and the Japanese may not be able to do so.  This time the attack will only be limited to 50,000 to 60,000 people at best.  For the sake of safety, Sun Zhong actively made slight adjustments to the deployment of the war zone, and transferred several troops that were still resting in the rear into the war zone in advance, including the 18th Army who suffered heavy casualties in the Battle of Western Hubei.  military.

    In November, it was the end of autumn and early winter in the south of the Yangtze River. After an autumn rain, the coldness had already enveloped the land in northwest Hunan. At the same time, the pressing cold current also hit Changde.

    On November 1, the enemy really took off.

    The first line of defense located on the south bank of the Yangtze River is the 10th Army and the 29th Army. The first to engage the enemy was the outpost 98th Division under the 10th Army. The battle was extremely fierce.  During this battle, the Tenth Army also identified the invading enemy. There were actually four enemy divisions and an independent brigade. The number of enemy groups was beyond the expectation of the Chongqing Military Commission, and the Sixth War Zone's  Sun Zhong and Guo Wan were also shocked. They immediately thought of Zhang Xian's judgment at the military meeting held in Changde. The enemy was indeed launching a large-scale attack, not a small fight.  They immediately came to the map, guessing the enemy's next move and how their side should respond.  If it is as Zhang Xian expected, then the enemy's attack on the Sixth Theater this time has an absolute advantage in terms of military strength. If Jiang's defense army is not mobilized, it will be difficult for the Sixth Theater to cope with it with its own strength.  Thinking of this, Sun Zhong couldn't help feeling cold all over, and immediately answered the call of the Chongqing Military Commission.

    On November 2, after receiving instructions from the commander's department, the 194th Division of the 79th Army of the 10th Army deployed at Nuanshui Street on the border of Hunan and Hubei to engage the enemy's 13th Division that rushed here.

    On November 3, the 44th Army under the 29th Group Army located on the shore of Dongting Lake deployed its position in Nan County and was violently attacked by the enemy's 116th Division.  The 44th Army relied on the embankment to block the attack, but the enemy successfully crossed the river under the cover of powerful artillery fire, and the National Army's 162nd Division and 150th Division were repulsed.  After crossing the river, the enemy's 40th Division took the lead and attacked Sanxiankou from Nanxian County, while the enemy's 68th Division detoured to Anxiang in an attempt to cut off the 44th Army's retreat.  As a last resort, the 44th Army had to withdraw voluntarily.  At this time, the enemy headquarters had entered the defense line of the Ninth Theater. Xue Yue, the commander of the Ninth Theater, urgently ordered the 92nd Division deployed here to delay the defense, and at the same time ordered other troops to prepare for battle.

    On the same day, the enemy's 39th Division, entrenched near Shashi, also crossed the Yangtze River, headed directly west, and marched into Yuyang Pass, where they fought with the 18th Division of the 66th Army of the Tenth Group Army of the Chinese Army stationed here.  A fierce battle broke out in the fifth division.

    On this day, the entire Yangtze River defense line turned into fierce fighting. From right to left, the 73rd Army in Li County, the 44th Army in Donggang, and the 79th Army in Jiehe City all discovered the enemy's main force.  The scale of the enemy's dispatch was far beyond the expectations of the Military Commission.  For Sun Zhong and Guo Wan, another point was unexpected. The enemy turned out to be exactly what Zhang Xian said. This time, they did not advance with a single front, but adopted a multi-front strategy.

    On November 4th, the Public Security Bureau fell. The 44th Army was fiercely attacked by the enemy's 68th Division. The 44th Army was attacked on three sides and was outnumbered. It was retreating steadily.  In desperation, the commander-in-chief of the 29th Group Army decided to turn the group to Shimen and sent a telegram to the head of the Sixth War Zone in Enshi. After weighing the pros and cons, Sun Zhong and Guo Wan believed that the combat power north of Changde must be strengthened, so they telegraphed the order.  The army group moved to Li County.

    At this point, the enemy's intention has become clear, and the enemy's target is probably Changde.  Sun Zhong and Guo Wan had already felt the flames of war in Changde. That night, they telegraphed the 57th Division to immediately enter Changde City and build city defenses to prevent the enemy from invading. At the same time, they also telegraphed the 74th Army and the 100th Army.  Preparations for battle, regarded as the rearguard of the Tenth Army.

    However, the Military Commission in Chongqing believes that based on the current situation, it cannot be concluded that the enemy is going to capture Changde, because in the early stage of the last battle in Western Hubei, some people concluded that the Japanese were going to capture Changde, but in fact they were attacking the Three Gorges.  Bhavan.  Therefore, the committeeHurry, when they really come calling, I'm afraid everyone won't have a chance to escape.  I have personally experienced the pain of Nanjing, and I don¡¯t want Changde to become another Nanjing.  If you don't believe in the cruelty of the enemy, then take a look at what the Japanese did after they occupied Anxiang and Nanxian in May!  They massacred thirty thousand people!  Those are our brothers and sisters!  They are our parents and uncles!  If you still want to have a family and don't want your relatives to be massacred, you must leave Changde as soon as possible!  "

    As soon as Zhang Xian said this, everyone fell silent and stopped speaking.

    Han Qi stood up in time, nodded, and said affably: "Captain Zhang just said it right, don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst. We all have a pair of hands, even if the city is gone, the house is gone, and the property is gone.  As long as our people are still alive, we can come back and rebuild our homeland. At this time, only people are the most important. I hope everyone will think about it carefully, is this true?" In fact, Han Qi also said  A very good reason, but I can't say it at this time.  Although the Japanese spies were uncovered last time, not all of them were caught. Intelligence already showed that a considerable number of Japanese spies had sneaked into the city. If these spies cooperated inside and outside when the Japanese army attacked Changde, the consequences would be disastrous.  If all the residents in the city are moved out, then this worry will disappear. The 57th Division can rest assured internally and externally.

    The county magistrate first agreed: "Stationmaster Han is right. If you keep the green hills, you won't be afraid of running out of firewood. So let's do it. I agree with Master Luo's suggestion. What do you think?"

    Hearing what the county magistrate said, other people kept their opinions to themselves.

    The next day, Changde posted a notice asking all residents to evacuate, with the county magistrate's seal stamped on it.  County Magistrate Dai personally took the lead and explained to the villagers (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
