    Roda stood up and saw Commander Wang Hui when he looked up. He didn't even know when his commander came over.  The two people's eyes intertwined, and they couldn't say a word.  Rhoda felt a lump in her throat, and she opened her mouth, but she was sobbing unspeakably, her eyes were red, and unintentionally, tears had flowed out.

    "Commander!" Su Zhengtao reacted first and quickly stood at attention to salute. The Huben warriors behind him also raised their hands to salute. Some of the wounded soldiers whose right arms were injured raised their left arms and saluted their commander.

    Wang Hui put on his military cap, stood at attention in front of these brave soldiers, solemnly raised his right arm, and gave these heroes a standard military salute.

    Luo Da and Su Zhengtao took Wang Hui and his party for a walk in the city. They were shocked by the ruins of the entire city and moved by the bravery of the 57th Division.  In the process, Gao Wei told the commander in detail what happened in Changde City after Commander Luo broke through on December 3. When he heard that on December 5, Zhang Xian borrowed  When the remnants of the Sichuan Army living in Taiyang Mountain recaptured Changde City and drove away the Japs, Wang Hui and everyone else were deeply moved. At the end, they said sincerely: "When the sea flows across the sea, a hero shows his true colors! Captain Zhang is a true hero."  !" He said, looking at Luo Da and Su Zhengtao, both of whom lowered their heads in shame. After all, at the last moment, they chose to give up.

    "Where is Commander Zhang?" Wang Hui asked Gao Wei.

    Gao Wei's nose couldn't help but feel sore, and tears fell down. Wang Hui couldn't help but feel nervous, and asked hurriedly: "Did he also die for his country?"

    Gao Wei shook his head and told him honestly: "Captain Zhang was shot when he was chasing the Japanese. He lost a lot of blood and was unconscious. It was Battalion Commander Qian of the Sichuan Army who brought him back. He is still here today."  Father Wang of the Catholic Church is taking care of me!"

    Wang Hui was startled, and immediately came to the Catholic Church to visit the dying Zhang Xian. He immediately sent someone to carefully escort the hero of the 57th Division to the field hospital behind the 74th Army. After all, the conditions there were better.  , medicines can also be supported, and professional medical staff can treat him. At the same time, he ordered that military doctors must save Zhang Xian at any cost.  In this way, Zhang Xian's life took a turn for the better.  At the same time, other wounded soldiers of the 57th Division were also arranged by Commander Wang to the hospital of the 74th Army and received good treatment and care.

    *******************

    After sending Zhang Xian and the wounded away, Wang Hui honestly told Luo Da that when Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, who had returned to Chongqing from Cairo, learned that Changde had been recaptured, there were still more than 300 fifty people left in it.  The officers and soldiers of the Seventh Division couldn't help but became furious. He thought that Roda had deserted the army and fled. In addition, there were some people around the commissioner who asked with added jealousy: "Why was the entire army of the Fifty-seventh Division wiped out, only  Commander, live alone?" This added to the suspicion of the suspicious leader, who immediately ordered Wang Hui to arrest Roda and escort him back to Chongqing after the battle. He also threatened that although Roda was also a Huangpu graduate and a disciple of the Emperor,  He will definitely act impartially and shoot him.

    Listening to his commander's message, Roda was speechless. He knew that Commander Wang was here to express condolences to the soldiers of the 57th Division, and more importantly, he came with an arrest warrant.  At this time, he suddenly remembered the conversation with Zhang Xian on the night of the breakthrough. At that time, he already knew that once the city was broken, the Chairman, as the supreme leader, would not let him go.  At that time, Zhang Xian asked him: "Master, it is not difficult for a person to die at this time, but it is your choice. Are you willing to sacrifice your personal honor and leave such a little blood for our fifty-seventh division?  Should we work hard for future reconstruction? Or should we, the Tiger Army, be wiped out?" He did not answer at the time, but he still chose the former.  At this time, he did not regret his choice. Best of all, he had saved some of his blood essence for the 57th Division.  However, what he regretted was that since he had known that it would be a fatal outcome, why didn't he stay resolutely and let Zhang Xian lead his troops to break out?  He had to admit that deep down in his heart, he still had a desire to survive.

    "Do you want to say something?" Wang Hui asked Roda.

    Rhoda was silent for a moment and shook her head.

    "Don't you want to defend yourself?" Wang Hui's voice became hoarse. After getting along with each other these days, he also had some feelings for this subordinate. Roda was not a difficult person to get along with. He and Eleven  Compared with the division's Hu Congjun, he has many advantages. He is humble, shrewd and capable. He can combine a miscellaneous division into a powerful army in such a short period of time. This ability is not something that just any general can achieve.  .

    Rhoda let out a long sigh and turned her head to look at him, her eyes still filled with tears.The last desperate battle in the battle of Changde was decisively decided.  After he sent out the victory report of the capture of Changde, he originally thought that Xi Junliu was not an idiot and would be tacitly aware of this kind of battle report, so he quickly sent the 11th Army back to the division and stopped as soon as possible.  Unexpectedly, he still overestimated the intelligence of his superiors. The China Expeditionary Force actually sent a telegram from the Tokyo base camp, suddenly asking his Eleventh Army to stick to Changde. Yokoyama was dumbfounded on the spot.

    On December 5, after the Japanese Eleventh Army received the order to defend Changde, the retreat operations were interrupted.  Hengshan Yong did not dare to turn around and defend Changde. The army was stuck between Lishui and Changde. It spread out in a long snake shape, half in front and half behind. It neither crossed the river nor defended the city. The entire eleventh  In front of the fiercely attacking national troops, the army actually showed an elegance like an outing, sleeping on the bank of the Lishui River, assuming a strange posture waiting to be annihilated.  However, for the Military Commission far away in Chongqing, they felt that this posture was unpredictable and mistakenly thought that it was another trap of the enemy. Therefore, they ordered all armies not to act rashly in order to observe the enemy's purpose. This is the order.  , causing the national army to miss a good opportunity to annihilate the enemy.

    After being ordered to return to Changde, Yokoyama Isamu still had confidence in Commander-in-Chief Hoshunroku, thinking that as long as he called and made some insinuations, the superior would be able to figure out the situation and then allow the Eleventh Army to retreat.  Therefore, at this time, Hengshan Yong had lost his determination to capture Changde and only wanted to return north as soon as possible. Therefore, he did not garrison Changde. Instead, he completely ignored Changde's flanks and sent the 3rd Division northward to support the 13th Division.  To resist the attack of Wang Hui Corps, the south of Yuanjiang River was completely abandoned. Even the hard-earned Deshan Town was lost to Ou Zhen Corps after the troops crossed the river, leaving the southern gate of Changde wide open.  Of course, at this time, he was even less interested in the ruins of Changde City. Even when he passed by Changde City, he did not enter the city, but only stayed in the villages on the outskirts of the city.  It was precisely because of this that the remnants of Zhang Xian and Gao Wei's 57th Division had to be preserved.

    However, Isamu Yokoyama ultimately ruined his chance to retreat with dignity because of his exaggerated victory telegram.  After he received a telegram from his superiors ordering him to stick to Changde, he immediately demanded in a fierce tone to "swivel north as planned."

    After receiving the telegram from Yokoyama Isamu, Shojunroku in Nanjing was shocked. Instead of understanding Yokoyama Isamu's disobedience, he thought it was Yokoyama's prejudice that he did not think about the overall situation.  However, it turned out that after two Japanese divisions captured Yichang three years ago, the national army counterattacked with all its strength. The commander at the time also called repeatedly to ask for retreat, but in the end the headquarters forced him to defend it. This is how it is today.  Yichang layout.  Xi Junliu believed that this was just a matter of determination. At this time, he already wanted to consolidate Changde, an important bridgehead that could point to Changsha in the east and Bawan in the west. What's more, it was also the distribution center of the Dongting Lake grain area.  After speaking for two days, Hoshunroku lost his good words and strictly ordered Isamu Yokoyama to abide by the resolution of the Tokyo Base Camp, requiring the Eleventh Army to ensure the garrison of Changde for a long time and prepare for the next battle.  That is to say, Shunroku's misunderstanding of Yokoyama Isamu once again gave the Japanese army an opportunity, causing the Japanese army to lose thousands of lives in vain.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
