    On December 4, both the Sixth and Ninth War Zones had lost the news of the 57th Division stationed in Changde. Everyone understood that Changde had been lost.  At this time, the Third Division of the Tenth Army, which was advancing to Changde, had been besieged in Deshan by three enemy divisions. The enemy used its 68th Division as the main attack force, and in cooperation with the Third Division, they also deployed other divisions.  Part of the troops of the 116th Division launched a fierce attack on the Third Division. The battle was extremely fierce. The Third Division, under the leadership of Commander Zhou, tenaciously supported it. However, due to the disparity in strength between the two sides and heavy casualties, they had to fight while fighting.  Breakout south.

    Commander Xue of the Ninth War Zone saw that there was only one 99th Army covering the flanks of Li Yutang's Corps. At this time, the 99th Army also had to guard against the intrusion of the enemy's 40th Division. He did not dare to move lightly. The 10th Army was facing the front.  The losses were heavy, so nine regiments were gathered from the second-line corps. With the deputy commander of the 30th Army, Ou Zhenzhong, as the commander, the Ou Zhen Corps was formed to assist Changde.  The Ou Zhen Corps was temporarily composed of three regiments from the 58th Army of the Yunnan Army, three regiments from the 72nd Army of the Sichuan Army, and three regiments from the local temporary Second Army. It was basically a miscellaneous force.  military.

    Although the Ou Zhen Corps is a platter, it poses a very significant threat to Yokoyama Isamu. This corps attacked the 68th Division, which was still intact, leaving his last reserve team too busy to take care of itself and no strength to transfer to it.  Go north to clear the way for his Eleventh Army.  It is precisely because of this that all departments operating in the Sixth War Zone are completely relieved of their worries.  After the loss of Changde, the Sixth Theater and the Ninth Theater finally showed a sincere cooperation.

    *********************

    The dusk mist slowly rose in the evening, and there was silence in this dead city. There were quite a few crows hovering in the sky, descending to the ground from time to time, pecking at the rotten broken arms and limbs.  Zhang Xian led fifty people from Battalion Commander Qian to spread out in groups of three or four, moving carefully through the ruins in a fan-shaped staircase, with Battalion Commander Qian following closely behind him.  Suddenly, Zhang Xian stopped, staring blankly ahead, as if stunned, unable to move.

    "Is there anything going on?" Battalion Commander Qian followed up and came to Zhang Xian's side in a half-crouched position, asking.  Zhang Xian did not answer. His eyes were still staring at the ground in front of him. He also looked and saw a group of crows pecking at a corpse. The corpse had been smashed by bullets, and its intestines were exposed.  A group of crows were fighting over a piece of intestine, as if they were having a feast.

    Zhang Xian rushed forward as if he had been struck by lightning, waving his arms, tears streaming down his face, and a low roar of anger coming from his choked throat.  The crows were immediately frightened, flapped their wings, and flew up into the sky.  Zhang Xian knelt down next to the corpse, hugged his head and cried.

    Battalion Commander Qian and his soldiers stared blankly at everything in front of them, as if they understood something. If it were them, how would they feel if they saw their brother Paoze die on the battlefield, and the body was eaten by animals?  Woolen cloth?

    "Is he one of yours?" Battalion Commander Qian asked in a low voice.

    After a long time, Zhang Xian nodded and calmed down.  In this city, all the soldiers who died in the national army were actually his brothers.

    "What's his name?" Battalion Commander Qian asked again.

    "Sima Yun!" Zhang Xian told him: "He is one of my battalion commanders!"

    Battalion Commander Qian was startled for a moment, thinking that he was also a battalion commander, and he couldn't help but feel a little confused. On the battlefield, among all the officers, the ones who suffered the most were the middle and lower-level officers at the battalion and company level. Not only did they have to be there when charging,  It's time to retreat, and it's time to cut off the rear.  He waved to the people behind him, and two people immediately ran up. Under his command, they carried the body of Commander Sima behind a broken wall, and then covered it with bricks and gravel to avoid being caught by crows again.  peck.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Out out of sight were the fallen officers and soldiers of the Chinese and Japanese troops lying in disorder. Many of them died in close hand-to-hand combat.  Many soldiers, when they were on the verge of death, still used their last strength to stab the enemy's abdomen with their swords, and died next to the Japanese.  Zhang Xian had become accustomed to seeing these things, but for Battalion Commander Qian and his soldiers, the shock and emotion were incomparable. Many soldiers cried, and everyone thought of what happened in Changde City these days.  , how tragic the battle was, and how much our brothers were willing to accept death. This has unknowingly set a brave example for everyone, and at the same time greatly deepened the hatred of the enemy.

    ***************************

    According to Zhang Xian¡¯s idea, he would take everyone to the Central Bank first to see if Gao Wei and the injured were safe, and then join Chang Liqiang and several other teams.  But just when they were about to come to the Central BankThe people had to let go of the blocked door, and a group of Japanese soldiers rushed into the church. There was a burst of crying and shouting. Soon, the Japanese soldiers escorted a group of sick and weak people out. There were  There are old people who need help, women with babies in their arms, pregnant women with big bellies, and children who have just learned to walk.

    Zhang Xian could not help but grit his teeth. At this moment, he thought of Nanjing that had been captured.  Not only him, but even the people around him, including Battalion Commander Qian, were also nervous, fearing that the Japanese would actually commit murder.

    "We have to find a way to save everyone!" Zhang Xian said firmly.

    "How to save him?" Battalion Commander Qian asked with a frown.

    This is indeed a difficult problem, Zhang Xian thought hard about it.

    At this moment, I heard a loud laugh from a bombed-out and abandoned bunker not far from the corner of the street. Amid the laughter, a tall figure walked out of it. All the Japanese soldiers immediately felt like they were facing a formidable enemy.  General cocked the bolt and raised the gun.

    "Captain Chang?" Zhang Xian couldn't help shouting in a low voice.

    Yes, the person who stepped forward was none other than Chang Liqiang.

    I saw Chang Liqiang laughing, facing Yasujiro Matsushita, and shouting loudly: "Mute, do you still know me?"

    Matsushita Seijiro turned around to face Battalion Commander Chang, with an annoyed look on his face. He obviously didn¡¯t like others calling him that, but he still nodded gracefully and said, ¡°Of course I know Battalion Commander Chang!¡±

    "Yes!" Chang Liqiang said sarcastically: "Of course you won't forget me. Haha, I took you to Peach Blossom House for prostitution. You are so awesome. You made that bitch die. We haven't seen each other for a few months, and now  You are still so powerful that you have brought Changde City to its knees!"

    Matsushita Seijiro frowned. He knew that if he had a quarrel with Chang Liqiang, he would not get any advantage, so he did not bother to quarrel with him anymore. He said seriously: "Captain Chang, you are finally out!"

    Chang Liqiang smiled and said: "Yes, you know that I can't bear my compatriots to be killed by you, so you use this method to force me to show up. Haha, the two of us have been playing hide and seek for a day today, and you have been  If you can't catch me, I know you are anxious, but I didn't expect you to use such a despicable and shameless method."

    Matsushita Seijiro did not deny it, but asked: "Are you alone? Are there others under you? Why don't they come out?"

    Chang Liqiang shrugged and said: "Can't you force me out? Haha, we are all a group of ghosts now, homeless wandering ghosts. We gather together when we have something to eat.  After that, they dispersed, how do I know where those ghosts will go? Maybe only Prince Xuan knows! How about you ask Prince Xuan? "

    Matsushita Seijiro glared at him angrily. Of course he knew what kind of person this Battalion Commander Chang was. It took him a long time to suppress his anger, showing his gentleman-like cultivation.

    "Okay, I'm out, I'm going to catch you without mercy, is that okay? Can you let these people who believe in God go? They have nothing to do with us." Chang Liqiang asked.

    "You just killed my men and rescued those prisoners?" Matsushita Yasujiro asked.

    "Yes, you guessed it well." Chang Liqiang was very proud and said at the same time: "This can only be blamed on your negligence. If you remember it next time, maybe you won't suffer a loss!"

    Matsushita Seijiro nodded. He did admit that there was a problem with his own defense. At the same time, he also admired the national army battalion commander in front of him. He immediately said: "I can let these people go, but I want you to promise me a condition.  "

    "What conditions?"

    "I want you to surrender!"

    Chang Liqiang was startled and said, "Isn't it okay for me to be your prisoner? Why do you want me to surrender?"

    Matsushita Yasujiro said: "This is different. If a major battalion commander of the 57th Division surrenders to our Imperial Japanese Army, the political impact will be immeasurable." He told the truth.

    Chang Liqiang was stunned for a moment and asked: "You want me to be a traitor? Haha, what if I don't agree?"

    "If you don't agree?" he said, pointing at the Catholics behind him, and loudly said: "Then they will have to die with you!"

    "You are really forcing good people into prostitution and forcing others to do something difficult for you!" Chang Liqiang couldn't help but cursed, thought about it again, sighed, and said: "It doesn't matter, I have already been a traitor once, so what's the harm in being a traitor again? I promise.  You, let these people go immediately!"

    "Okay!" Matsushita Seijiro said, ordering his men to release these Catholics and let them go back to the church under the leadership of John Wang.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
