    On November 18, the Changde peripheral battle began.

    On this day, the defeated troops of the 29th Group Army rushed to the north gate of Changde like a tide. Zhang Xian ordered people to close the city gate tightly and not let these defeated troops enter the city. He was afraid that enemies would get mixed up among these defeated troops.  The defeated soldiers of the 29th Group Army were so angry that they cursed. Among them, there was a deputy division commander who looked like a major general. He called Zhang Xian by name with a Sichuan accent and called Zhang Xian to answer.  When he saw the deputy division commander, Zhang Xian also recognized that he was from a division under the 44th Army. He had seen this person in a military meeting and his surname was Feng.

    "Zhang Xian, you bastard, I'm fighting in the front, and you are enjoying the blessings in the back. How can you show off your authority at this moment? Open the door and let us in!" Deputy Master Feng yelled like this.

    Zhang Xian said quickly: "Assistant Master Feng, please don't scold me. You should know that this is an order from the top, and there is nothing I can do about it."

    "I don't care about this. If you let my brothers in, I can help you defend the city; if you don't let us in, we won't let you go even if we become ghosts!"

    Zhang Xian thought for a moment, looked at the exhausted defeated soldiers under the city, felt a little soft-hearted, suddenly thought of something, and shouted: "Assistant Master Feng, why do you need to come to this death place in Changde? There is a Sun Mountain in front of you, and behind you  Liuye Lake is a strategic point, you can take your people there quickly to occupy the favorable terrain, contain your stragglers, and become a corner with Changde, maybe there will be a turn for the better!"

    Deputy Commander Feng thought for a moment and scolded: "Zhang Xian, you are a bastard. Sun Mountain is in the north of Changde. You want me to be your shield!"

    Zhang Xian smiled and said: "Assistant Master Feng, why should I harm you? Although Sun Mountain is in the north of Changde, it is twenty miles away from Changde, and it is not the only way to enter Changde. The enemy will not do this.  Silly, let¡¯s leave Changde in front of us and attack you first! If Changde falls, the enemy may consider attacking Taiyang Mountain. If Changde is still there, then Taiyang Mountain will not be attacked by the enemy. You occupy that place  , it seems that you are in danger, but in fact you are much safer than us. Besides, you occupy Sun Mountain, which can be regarded as being in the battlefield. The people on the mountain will not say that you ran away from the battle. Once the enemy retreats, you can still take the opportunity to attack from a flank.  , it can be said that it kills two birds with one stone. Where to go, Assistant Master Feng will decide quickly!"

    These words made perfect sense. Deputy Master Feng thought about it for a moment and suddenly understood. He cupped his hands to Zhang Xian on the city and said calmly: "Brother Zhang, thank you for your advice. There were so many things just now."  I hope you¡¯ll forgive me for any offense I¡¯ve made!¡±

    "You're welcome, Deputy Master Feng!" Zhang Xian also bowed his hand to him.

    Deputy Commander Feng led his group of defeated soldiers back to Sun Mountain. In the blink of an eye, all the defeated soldiers outside the north gate were gone.

    Sima Yun was beside Zhang Xian at this time and said to Zhang Xian: "Tuanzuo, if you send them to Taiyang Mountain, can they really be used to defend Changde?"

    Zhang Xian sighed and said: "Sun Mountain is a good position, but it is a bit far away from Changde. The enemy will not waste troops there, but the 44th Army guarding Sun Mountain can at least make the enemy have some scruples.  During the battle on the outskirts of the city, we can cover our northwest direction, which can reduce some of the pressure on our regiment."

    Sima Yun thought for a while, nodded, and praised: "You are really thoughtful."

    Zhang Xian smiled, but said to him: "I'm afraid the enemy is about to arrive at this time. There is a platoon of yours at the Tujia Lake outpost. Please hurry up and ask someone to bring another platoon over. I think they will definitely encounter them.  The enemy's scouts are exploring the road, and their large troops will definitely appear soon after. Push back these scouts first, then quickly evacuate, and pay attention to the lake!"

    "Yes!" Sima Yun agreed and said, "I will take a platoon there myself!" After saying that, he ran away.

    Zhang Xian did not misjudge this Sima Yun. He is a very capable guy. He is smarter than Chang Liqiang and Gao Wei brought by Zhang Xian, so he is also admired by Zhang Xian.

    Soon, everyone heard the fierce gunshots coming from Tujiahu, and Zhang Xian's heart was hanging.  At this time, Commander Luo called and Zhang Xian reported to him that the outpost of the 169th Regiment was already engaged with the enemy.

    The gunfire in the direction of Tujiahu changed from intense to sporadic. Zhang Xian stood on the tower and looked in that direction with a telescope, but he only saw thick black smoke rising.  It was not until evening that he saw Sima Yun rushing back with two platoons of soldiers. He quickly went out of the city to greet them.

    As soon as he saw Zhang Xian, Sima Yun became happy and shouted excitedly: "Tuanzuo, you guessed it so accurately. We met the Japs' scouts and ambush them, killing more than two hundred Japs."  , Haha, this is so exciting!¡±

    ? ?bsp; Both Sun Zhong and Guo Wan in the chief's department were extremely anxious. No need to think too much, the enemy drove the 44th Army towards Changde, intending to annihilate this army while besieging Changde.  Therefore, Sun Zhong sent a telegram to Commander Wang Zuanxu, telling him to hold on to his position and never cross the 44th Army across the Yuan River, allowing the enemy to successfully form an encirclement and bring about their own destruction.  However, Commander-in-Chief Wang relies on his status as a powerful faction of the Sichuan Army and is not afraid of the strict orders of the Sixth War Zone. What he is most afraid of is that his old 44th Army will be destroyed in one day, but he does not have the long-term prospects of Sun Zhong.  I don't think that retreating through the Yuanjiang River will lead to death.

    After Yokoyama commanded the Japanese Eleventh Army to cross the Lishui River, he had already gotten rid of the brave and capable Tenth Army of the National Army in the north. At this time, he stormed the Forty-fourth Army. He also saw the situation on the battlefield clearly and hoped that  Before the 100th Army and the 74th Army led by Wang Hui arrived, they crossed the Yuanjiang River and captured Changde in one go.  At this time, the 116th Division, which was originally planned to be mobile by water, had completely landed. The three regiments were divided into three groups, chasing the 44th Army, aiming directly at Zoushi to the west of Changde and Linli to the north.  Passing through this gap, you can approach Changde City.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
