    Starting from November 25th, Isamu Yokoyama devoted all of his 116th Division, the 6th Regiment of the 3rd Division, the 68th Regiment, and the 234th Regiment of the 68th Division.  The coalition attacked the city in an all-out manner, but after a day of fierce attack, they suffered heavy casualties, but the progress of each department was not great. Until the 26th, there was still fierce fighting near the city wall. Even if some troops took the opportunity to sneak into the city, they were also killed by the national army.  They fought desperately to drive them out. For a time, the Japanese army's siege and the national army's defense were in a stalemate, but the entire battle situation took a turn for the worse. This could not help but frighten Hengshan Yong.

    At this time, the national troops from all walks of life had surrounded them. The 74th Army and the 100th Army commanded by Wang Hui had already assembled and fought fiercely for a week with the enemy's 13th Division blocking the west of Changde.  However, contact with Changde was completely interrupted. For Wang Hui, the survival of the 57th Division was related to the integrity of his 74th Army. It was also his responsibility as an army commander, so of course he was very anxious.  While he ordered the 100th Army to cover the 74th Army's violent advance towards Huangshi City, he also ordered each division to send out reinforced battalions and attached radio squads to boldly advance through gaps in the direction of Changde. It was necessary to gain ground with the 57th Division.  connect.

    On the 26th, all aspects of the national army were progressing smoothly. The 10th Army drove forward. The 79th Army crossed Lishui and went straight to the back of the enemy's 13th Division. They captured Mingyue Mountain on the outskirts of Cili.  position; and the 18th Army crossed the Hanyang River, broke into the enemy's 39th Division's front, captured Liujiachang, and cut off the Japanese army's retreat. The enemy's 39th Division was shaken across the board, and the Chengtian Division  The regiment commander urgently reduced his troops and occupied certain key points on the communication line.

    On the western front, Wang Hui's regiment was victorious. Sun Zhong saw the critical situation in Changde and ordered Commander Wang to divide his troops and capture Hesu Town in the western suburbs of Changde to cope with the defenders of the 57th Division in the city.  Wang Hui drew out the 19th Division and the 51st Division, and cooperated with the reinforced battalion gap detachments of each division to attack Hesu, and used Zhang Linfu's 58th Division to attack the front of Huangshi City.  The frontal offensive of the 74th Army and the 100th Army caused the enemy's 13th Division's front to collapse.  At this time, the 73rd Army also attacked Cili with the remaining troops contained in it, hoping to regain Cili.

    However, the 10th Army of the Li Yutang Corps of the Ninth War Zone, which was closest to Changde, still moved slowly and did not capture Deshan on the 26th in accordance with the strict orders of the Military Commission.  For the national army coming from the east, Yokoyama Isamu had to mobilize most of the 68th Division and the 3rd Division, which were originally scheduled to attack the city, to intercept them.  As a result, the Tenth Army and these two divisions faced off in the west of Hanshou County.

    ***************

    Zhang Xian returned to the division headquarters. Although he was physically and mentally exhausted from the hard battle last night, he was still very energetic and did not dare to slack off.

    Commander Luo was listening to the telegram from the commander's department. A staff officer reported to Zhang Xian the battle situation in other directions of Changde. At the west gate to the west, the enemy had broken into many times, but under the personal command of Commander Su Zhengtao, the enemy started to fight.  Fierce street fighting finally drove the enemy out of the city, but the 170th Regiment suffered heavy casualties, and a battalion commander died in the battle.  The two battalions of the 169th Regiment defending the north and east of the city successfully drove the enemy back, but suffered heavy casualties. Three company commanders were killed in the battle, and less than 600 men remained in the two battalions.  Nancheng is slightly improving. The 171st Regiment, together with Sima Yun's troops, has repelled the enemies who crossed the Yuanjiang River. Nancheng is still safe for the time being.  At the end of the day, the total number of troops in the entire division was only about 3,000.

    Roda finally put down the telegram, turned around, saw Zhang Xian, and nodded to him.

    "Commander, now the enemy has captured most of our city positions, and our reinforcements are said to be able to reach Deshan today, but the enemy on the other side of the Yuanjiang River can still bombard calmly, but I'm afraid they won't be able to get there today!" Zhang Xian is so unhappy!  Worry free and genuine.

    Roda nodded, sighed, and said: "Reinforcements! Reinforcements! I don't know if this is the reassurance Shangfeng gave us! Forget it, let's not think about them. We must first find a way to stabilize our defense line.  "

    Zhang Xian nodded and said: "Commander, our troops are severely depleted now. If we continue to fight in such a scattered manner, it will definitely not work. We must recover, otherwise the defense line will be stretched too long and everyone will not be able to bear it."

    "You are right." Roda nodded, thought for a while, and ordered the combat staff: "Commander Li, pass the order, we need to move our positions and reduce the front. Order all the troops in the outer positions to return to the city and defend the city walls.  .¡±

    "How to arrange it?" Staff Officer Li asked.

    "The first and second battalions of the 169th Regiment defend the east gate city wall; the 171st Regiment defends the city wall from the north gate to the west gate; the 170th Regiment has suffered heavy casualties, so let them guard the upper and lower south gate walls.  . Leave the third battalion of the 169th Regiment as the division reserve team and place it in the Confucian Temple in front of the division headquarters." Roda arranged it like this.

    &nbspThe fight for ? is heart-stirring.  A platoon from the Third Company of the 1st Battalion of the 171st Regiment was stationed there. After the air attack, the enemy used a large group of men and horses to charge, but could not push back the platoon. In anger, they concentrated their artillery fire until  The position was destroyed until finally, only eight soldiers were left in the platoon. Even these eight soldiers still blocked the enemy's advance for several hours and fought until the end. Only the platoon leader was left.  Man, this platoon leader detonated the last grenade he had when the enemy was approaching, and died together with dozens of Japanese.

    The battle in Jiajiaxiang was just a small scene in the city defense battle, but it was precisely because of this small tragedy that it became the greater tragedy of the entire Changde defense battle!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
