    Late at night on December 2, although the crisis at the headquarters was temporarily relieved, the development of the entire situation had reached an unsupportable point. The entire defensive position had been compressed into a very narrow range by the enemy, and each regiment only had seven combatants.  Eight squads, excluding the wounded, only 321 officers and soldiers of the division can control at this time, and only more than 40 rifles. If the enemy launches a dawn offensive again the next day, how can they cope with it?  ?

    Roda knew that the last moment of the 57th Division had come.  He thought about it, felt uneasy, and felt that the burden on his body was as heavy as a thousand pieces of gold.  At this time, a plainclothes member of the 51st Division Death Squadron of the 74th Army smuggled over from the Yuanjiang River and rescued the liaison officer of the 3rd Division, Adjutant Zhao, who had been captured by Matsushita Yasujiro.  Two people broke into the city, went straight to Roda's command post, and reported to him the situation outside the city.  The 51st Division was still at Changling Ridge, more than a hundred miles west of Changde. It was blocked by the Japanese army and could not approach Changde. Commander Wang Hui was worried about the situation in the city, so he sent this group of people to sneak into the city. More than 20 people  Nineteen people died in the battle, and only this liaison officer remained.  Across the river in the south, in the direction of Deshan, the gunfire at this time also gradually became quieter.  According to Adjutant Zhao of the 3rd Division, the 7th Regiment of the 3rd Division advanced to the south bank of the Yuan River and fired three signal bombs in the direction of Changde, but there was no response from the city. The 7th Regiment was originally planning to cross the river and enter the city, but was worried that Changde had already entered.  The enemy hesitated and blew the contact number several times, but there was no response, so he sent him across the river into the city to find out what was going on. Unexpectedly, he was caught by the Japanese as soon as he landed ashore.  They had an agreement at that time. Before being caught by the Japanese, Adjutant Zhao fired a signal flare to the other side. This was to notify the Seventh Regiment on the other side of the river that Changde had been lost and there was no need to cross the river.

    After listening to the words of these two liaison officers, Roda secretly complained that the reinforcements from the west were far away and could not quench the thirst nearby, and they could not be counted on at all.  The reinforcements of the Tenth Army in the south are probably already surrounded by the enemy at this time.  The soldiers guarding the south gate of the Fifty-seventh Division had already seen and heard the signal flares and liaison signals on the other side. It was just because the division had no signal flares at that time, and all the buglers had died, so they had to find a Yuanjiang pilot.  The red light was used to respond. Perhaps because the light was too dim, the reinforcements of the Third Division did not see it.  I heard from Adjutant Zhao that when he came from the south bank, the enemy had already surrounded the Third Division on three sides. At this time, the gunfire from the south stopped, and there were only two results. One was that the Third Division was annihilated by the enemy;  No more people can be sent across the river.  The second is that the third division has broken through and turned in other directions, away from Changde.

    Roda arranged for the two liaison officers to go down to rest. At this time, he was already a little desperate. Reinforcements would not come at all, and the 57th Division could only wait to be destroyed.

    While Luo Da was thinking about it, Zhang Xian and Wei Lengzi broke into the headquarters, but reported a very bad news to him: "Commander, there is a group of enemies jumping out from the Yujia Archway and cutting us off."  Connected with Zhongshan West Road, we are attacking the front line positions from Laoyachi to Shuangzhong Lane. At this time, the remnants of the 171st Regiment suffered heavy casualties, with only more than 70 people capable of fighting, and a severe shortage of weapons and ammunition, making it difficult to resist."

    Rhoda raised her head, her eyes already red and full of tears.  Zhang Xian was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but ask: "Master, what's wrong with you?"

    Luo Guo wiped his eyes, holding back the infinite grief, but asked him: "Zhang Xian, how did you arrange it over there?"

    Zhang Xiandao: "Captain Qin died, and I took over the duties of the 171st Regiment. I have dispatched more than thirty people from Sima Yun to Shuangzhong Lane to help out, and blocked the devils there. Now it is burning under the black light,  The enemy didn't know how many of us there were. They charged several times but were shot down by our machine guns, so they didn't dare to attack again. I'm afraid we won't be able to survive until dawn."

    Roda nodded, but said meaningfully: "If our reinforcements cannot arrive, Zhang Xian, I hope you can lead our brothers to break out of the city!"

    Zhang Xian stared at his division commander blankly, a little at a loss, and asked blankly: "Can't our reinforcements arrive?"

    Roda sighed and said, "Even if we can get there, what's the use at this moment?" As he said that, he turned and walked towards the radio operator.

    Zhang Xian followed closely behind him, and only heard Roda ordering the telegraph operator to send the last telegram to the commander's headquarters in Enshi: "The ammunition has been exhausted, the people are dead, the city has been destroyed, and the friendly forces are waiting and watching."  There was a melee in the streets and alleys. The deputy division commander and chief of staff of Zhongli were guarding the Central Bank. Our army shouted long live the 74th Army, long live Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, and long live the Republic of China. Zhi Luo Da would like to kowtow."

    This is already a farewell letter!  In this telegram, Rhoda's infinite love and infinite hatred were left behind!

    When Commander Sun and Chief of Staff Guo, who were far away in Enshi, received this telegram, they were extremely sad.??.  "

    Everyone nodded, and Deputy Commander Chen added: "Now we are in a critical situation with a broken city, few soldiers, a shortage of bullets and guns, and no hope of reinforcements. If we don't break through, we will definitely sit back and wait for death."

    Rhoda thought for a long time and finally made up her mind.

    **********************

    At one o'clock in the morning on December 3, Roda convened the division's deputy commander, chief of staff, director of staff, and regimental leaders Zhang Xian, Su Zhengtao and others to discuss the breakout. Everyone agreed that it was necessary to make a decisive decision at this time and break out as soon as possible.  Waiting until daybreak, the Japanese army launched another offensive and blocked the only access to the river from the southwest outside the city. It would be useless to break through.

    Therefore, Roda immediately announced a breakout and ordered the deputy division commander and the 170th Regiment leader Su Zhengtao to lead his troops to sneak across the Yuanjiang River, then detour back to Jiangbei, and go to the vicinity of Hesu Town to meet the reinforcements coming from the west; while he took Zhang Xian and others  After crossing the river, they advanced through a gap in the Deshan area to meet the friendly forces of the Tenth Army.

    At this time, Zhang Xian put forward another idea: "Master, I think I'd better stay!"

    Everyone was startled, and Rhoda asked puzzledly: "What do you mean?"

    Zhang Xian smiled and said: "Outside of Nancheng is guarded by Matsushita Seijiro's regiment. He can't let us cross the river easily. There must be cover so that everyone can cross the river safely. I think it's better for me to stay.  Cover everyone!¡±

    Luo Da was startled. Zhang Xian was indeed right. Although the number of 300 people was not many, sneaking across the river would definitely alert the Japanese Panasonic Regiment that had been guarding the river. If there was no one to cover them, these people would not be able to cross the river safely.  Jiang, it¡¯s simply impossible.

    "It's better for me to stay!" Su Zhengtao said.

    "It's better for me to stay!" Zhang Xian said: "I can't compare to you. The injury on my leg is not healed yet. I can't walk a long way. I'm afraid it will hurt everyone. I might as well stay in the city, organize resistance and wait for you.  Come with reinforcements to relieve the siege.¡±

    "Organize resistance?" Su Zhengtao said, "Where are there people?"

    Zhang Xian smiled and said: "The number of people we have now is only three hundred. In fact, there are still our brothers in many places in the city. They have been scattered by the enemy and are hiding under the ruins. Besides, many of our wounded cannot leave. If  Without anyone to organize them, they can only become prisoners of the Japanese."

    Roda nodded, thought for a moment, and said: "Okay, you will stay and cover. Let's do it this way. There are still more than fifty people at Sima Yun's place. I will leave them behind and let you command them. You try your best to deal with them.  If there is a chance, I can break through or break through!"

    "Yes!" Zhang Xian agreed.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
