    Although Changde was captured as he wished, for Yokoyama Isamu, this was not something to be happy about. The Japanese army had already spent too much precious time and wasted too much military supplies when attacking Changde.  , both in terms of the battle situation and logistical supplies, the Japanese army was at the end of its tether.  In terms of the battle situation, I saw that my retreat had been blocked by the national army and I was surrounded from all sides; and in terms of supplies, after so many days of fighting, there were not many guns and ammunition left, and my retreat was blocked, then  This means that supplies are interrupted.  Therefore, Changde City at this time has become a useless place, tasteless to eat, and a pity to abandon.

    Li Yutang's regiment to the south of Changde has pressed to the south bank of the Yuanjiang River, and the battle is still ongoing; while Wang Hui's regiment to the west is storming Hesu Town, which is only thirty miles away from Changde, and the 13th Division is guarding Hesu.  The casualties were heavy, with less than 7,000 people left; the 10th National Army in the north had repulsed the 39th Division, occupied Shimen and Lixian, and was advancing towards Changde, and what was even more terrible was that its 39th Division  The Eighteenth Army defeated a brigade stationed in western Hubei, recaptured Yidu City, and was marching towards Gong'an City.  To the east of Changde is the vast Dongting Lake. Although the Japanese army has the convenience of water transportation, at this time, nearly 70,000 people from five divisions are gathered around Changde. How can they quickly cross the Dongting Lake?

    The situation is so critical that Hengshan Yong has been breaking out in cold sweats. In any case, it is a good thing that Changde is captured. At best, he can free up a 116th Division.  At that moment, the commander-in-chief of the Japanese Eleventh Army immediately ordered Yan Yongwang, the division commander of the 116th Division, to quickly assemble his troops, divide his troops into two groups, and reinforce the defeated Japanese Army to the west and north.  The 13th Division and the 39th Division.  Yan Yongwang was very surprised. The 116th Division had been attacking Changde for a long time and suffered heavy casualties. Now there are still thousands of bodies of Japanese soldiers who died in the city that have not been collected. He wanted to spend one day collecting these corpses, but  Isamu Yokoyama did not give him any time on this day. Instead, he said to him angrily: "Iwanaga-kun, you have wasted the precious time of the 11th Army for so many days, and finally captured Changde with the help of Sanbon-kun. Is it possible?  Do you want to delay us more time and let the Eleventh Army be annihilated?" This is very straightforward and serious. It seems that the Eleventh Army is in a very bad situation at this time. Yan Yongwang does not dare to  No matter what he said, he had no choice but to obey his orders and withdrew his troops from Changde City on the afternoon of December 3 to reinforce his friendly forces. When leaving Changde, he deeply looked towards the city.  He bowed, knowing that his soldiers who died in Changde might never return to their hometown, and he felt extremely sorry for them.

    What also puzzled Yasujiro Matsushita was that the commander of Sanmotoyama's male division also split his regiment, transferred two brigades to the south bank of the Yuanjiang River to assist in the battle, leaving only one brigades for him, and asked him to  Changde garrison on alert.  And this brigade is far from what it was before the war. Out of the full complement of more than 1,200 people, there are only less than a thousand left at this time, and many of them are injured. This is still compared with the attrition of other brigade.  Less.  Since the division commander has dismantled this regiment, it means that the fighting on the south bank is still fierce, and the third division has reached the point where it must call on its reserves.

    Matsushita Seijiro also faced the same problem as Iwa Yongwang. Such a large ruin was filled with the corpses of Japanese and national troops, but his opponent still had many living people hidden in it and fired cold shots at his people.  In just one afternoon, he had lost seventy or eighty soldiers. These soldiers died in different shapes. Some were shot to death, some were smashed to death with hard objects, and some had their heads chopped off with a knife.  And these perpetrators were hiding in the dark, so it was difficult to find them. Throughout the afternoon, he was confused by the constant happenings of this kind of thing, and finally surrounded a national soldier in a ruins.  This was a wounded soldier, but when his men were about to close the encirclement and catch him, he suddenly rushed out and fired the grenade, causing him to lose five soldiers at once, including a soldier.  Cao.

    Although he has become the top official here, with less than a thousand exhausted soldiers under his command, he is still not sure that he can defeat all the opponents in the city.  The only reward he felt was that his men captured a very tall pure white horse. This horse apparently swam from the south bank of the Yuan River. It was covered in water and was wandering around and neighing on the streets of Changde.  Seeing this horse, Matsushita Seijiro immediately recognized it. It was Zhang Xian's mount. After getting along with Zhang Xian for so long, he became familiar with this horse. Xiong Sanwa often took him with him back then.  Go horseback riding.  The white horse obviously recognized him and did not resist him, but let him ride on it docilely.  Matsushita Yasujiro was very surprised. Apparently, this horse had followed part of the breakout 57th Division to the south bank of the Yuanjiang River, but why did it swim again?I rummaged through everything but found nothing but dead people.  This time, Panasonic was convinced that there was no large-scale national army in the city, and even if there was, there was only sporadic and occasional resistance.  However, he still did not dare to be careless. He divided these people into three squadrons and ordered each squadron to remain as a whole. He was worried that once these squadrons split up again, their opponents would take the opportunity to kill them. Just like yesterday, the squadrons would be killed in succession.  The murderer could not be found.

    These three squadrons separated at the intersection in front of the Central Bank. One team searched north, one team searched west, and one team searched east.

    Zhang Xian was lying on the dangerous building. Seeing that the enemy had gone away, he quickly ran back to the dilapidated Wenchang Temple opposite, hurriedly gathered everyone and moved to the Central Bank.

    "Captain, you didn't let us go to the Central Bank last night, why do you want us to go in immediately now?" Gao Wei was very surprised.

    Zhang Xiandao: "One moment, another moment, today the Central Bank is safe, Panasonic will not search again, but this Wenchang Temple, when he comes back later, he will definitely search it again. There is not much time,  Hurry up and take everyone to hide in the vault!"

    Hearing the group leader¡¯s affirmation, Gao Wei stopped asking any more questions and led the people out of the Confucian Temple and hurried to the Central Bank.  At this time, everyone was very nervous. They were playing hide and seek with the Japanese.  Zhang Xian was even covered in cold sweat, hating that these wounded soldiers were moving too slowly. He lay on the roof of the main hall of Wenchang Temple, looking around, for fear that a Japanese team would suddenly appear.

    When the last wounded man evacuated Wenchang Temple and entered the Central Bank, he breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, the Japanese squadron searching westward turned back. Zhang Xian wanted to leave again.  It was too late, this group of Japanese soldiers rushed straight to the Confucian Temple.

    Zhang Xian hid on the roof and was ready. Once the Japanese discovered him, he was ready to fight.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
