    Sun Zhong and Guo Wan could no longer remember how many days they had not slept. Since the war began, they had been spending time in the war room of the commander's department. Both of their eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes, and the surrounding areas of their eyes were also covered with bloodshot eyes.  There were obvious black spots, and even the two eye sockets were deeply sunken.  Despite this, they still showed no signs of fatigue. They stood in front of the map, listening to the battle reports from the front while arranging their troops nervously and calmly.

    At this time, it is certain that the enemy has no intention to attack west of Cili, but will focus on the siege of Changde. The enemies in front of the original first-line corps have stopped active attacks and turned to the defensive.  Refuse to support the national army.  In this case, after some discussion between Sun Zhong and Guo Wan, they decided to completely transfer all the front-line regiments to the offensive, use all their strength to defeat the enemy's 39th Division and 13th Division, and suppress the main force of the Japanese army.  The outskirts of Changde were surrounded and annihilated.  At this time, the 18th Army, the ace division of the national army, has arrived on the battlefield. It is a new force that can collide with the Japanese defense line. It is a surprise force and the opportunity cannot be missed.  At that moment, Commander Sun ordered the 10th Army, which had now turned to Changde, to concentrate on turning and push forward with all its strength towards the enemy's flank in Changde. At the same time, he ordered the 185th Division of the 66th Army to recapture Shimen, and the 18th Army to advance toward the Public Security Bureau.  , Lixian County to advance to cut off the enemy's retreat.

    As for the 29th Group Army, the 73rd Army and the 44th Army worked hard to advance in a pincer attack to conquer Cili and eliminate the outstanding enemies on the front.  At the same time, the 74th Army was ordered by telegram to break through the enemy's third division in front of them in order to relieve the siege of Changde in time.  In his opinion, instead of turning to Xue Yue in the Ninth War Zone for help, it would be better to fight to the death himself!

    The 74th Army, led by Commander Wang Hui, after receiving a telegram from the theater commander, made an all-out attack on Huangshi City in the northwest of Taoyuan. Wang Hui was eager to rescue his 57th Division, so  On this aspect, the fighting was extremely fierce, causing the enemy's Thirteenth Division to lose outposts and had to shift its defense.  At the same time, the 10th Group Army in the north also stepped up its offensive. The enemy's 39th Division's defense line had been loosened. The Sixth Theater officially entered the second stage of defensive annihilation. The second line of troops outflanking the enemy had all  Move out.  However, the four divisions of the Japanese army were concentrated on the outskirts of Changde, and it was difficult to break through. Because there was a precedent of the loss of Shimen, both Sun Zhong and Guo Wan were very worried about the prospect of holding on to Changde.

    Precisely because they were not optimistic about Changde¡¯s prospects, although Sun and Guo knew very well that it was better to ask for help than to seek help from others, they had to contact Commander Xue of the Ninth War Zone again at this time to ask him to speed up the rescue.  Then he contacted the Military Commission in Chongqing and asked it to put pressure on the Ninth War Zone and use the Tenth Army to attack Deshan as soon as possible to help Changde.

    Sun Zhong and Guo Wan were naturally well aware of the plight of the Changde defenders. In previous battles, the defenders were able to reach the stage of street fighting and still persist unyielding. This was rare in China's Anti-Japanese War.  .  Changde is the key to turning the entire battle situation from crisis to safety, or even turning it into a victory, and must not be missed.  So on this day, Sun Zhong sent a telegram to Luo Da of the 57th Division, telling Commander Luo that the friendly Tenth Army had been ordered to arrive. According to the strict order of the Military Commission, it would arrive on the 26th.  Deshan.

    After receiving the telegram, Roda was overjoyed and immediately announced the contents of the condolence telegram sent by Sun Zhong to all regiments, battalions, companies, down to platoons, squads and individual soldiers. When these soldiers heard that reinforcements were coming soon, they all  They were overjoyed and their morale was greatly boosted. Even the wounded asked to join the battle immediately.

    Roda soon sent a telegram back to Commander Sun: "The division was surrounded by enemies on all sides and fought bloody battles for seven days and nights. Although the casualties were heavy and all the miscellaneous soldiers were incorporated into the battle, the morale was high. All officers and soldiers obeyed Jun Zuo's orders and were determined.  , willing to live and die with Changcheng!"

    *******************

    Gao Wei led his sixth company, which was stationed on Yantu, to retreat. When he saw Zhang Xian here, he was a little surprised, but then he breathed a sigh of relief.

    At this time, Zhang Xian had arranged the two river embankments into two lines of defense. The river ran north-south. The two river embankments were more than ten feet high, with a river channel more than ten feet wide sandwiched between them. At this time, it was  During the dry season in winter, the river is not deep and much narrower, with only a dozen meters of water.  Tall willow trees were planted all over the river embankment. The leaves had already fallen off, leaving only the bare branches whistling in the northwest wind.  There are endless rice fields on both sides of the river embankment. A stone road comes out from the east gate, crosses the bridge over the river, passes through the river embankment, and leads to the rock protrusion in front.  Except for a few dilapidated villages, the east side of the two embankments is completely empty. From the embankment, you can look down from a high position and include the several hundred meters in front of you within the shooting range.  Zhang Xian's defense line is based on these two river embankments. The east bank embankment will be used as support first. If the east bank is breached, the west bank embankment can be used as backup after crossing the river.How do we fight?  "

    Zhang Xian smiled slightly and said: "When the first wave of them comes up and they get close, we will blow them up with grenades to cover up the first wave first, and then wait for the second wave to come up, which will happen to mix with the first wave.  Then we charge them, and once these Japs are in chaos, they will run back, which will cause them to rush into chaos in the third and fourth waves. We only need to throw grenades to repel them!"

    "That's great!" Company Commander Zhao couldn't help but praise: "I'll tell everyone right now!" After saying that, he quickly set up the arrangement.

    Seeing that everyone had already fixed their bayonets, Zhang Xian asked Wei Lengzi to bring his sniper rifle, fixed his bayonets, and prepared to charge.

    The Japs soon arrived at the position. At a distance of 60 meters, Company Commander Zhao was the first to throw a grenade. The grenade exploded in the crowd of Japs, knocking down seven or eight people instantly.  However, this group of Japs only hesitated for a moment and rushed forward again. When they reached 30 meters, this distance was already within the range that everyone could throw. More than a dozen grenades were thrown from different directions, and the sound of explosions was endless.  , for a time the embankment was filled with burning smoke, and the first wave of Japanese troops was basically blown over, with not much left. At the same time, the second wave of troops also came up.

    These Japs rushing in front were driven by light machine guns, so they had some power.  Zhang Xian shot first and knocked down the two arrogant Japanese machine gunners. At the same time, he ordered his own machine gun to fire. The sound was like the loud noise of a tractor.  But the enemy still rushed to the front of the formation. Zhang Xian shouted and asked the trumpeter to blow the charge horn.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
