    On the morning of September 27, just as the 74th Army was attacking from Chunhua Mountain to the Lukou She and Malin City areas to the north as planned, the 57th Division on the left and the enemy's 6th Division, and the 58th Division on the right and the main force of the enemy's 3rd Division  When they met, they immediately started a fierce battle.

    The weather was good that day, which was suitable for aviation operations. Therefore, the Japanese army immediately used a large number of aviation units, field heavy artillery and the 13th Tank Regiment to coordinate with the 3rd and 6th Divisions.

    At the same time, the Japanese army also concentrated a part of the cavalry troops and crossed the Liuwei River from near Chunhua Mountain to Huanghua City in the south at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, in an attempt to cut off the access of the reinforcements of the 74th Army.

    Anan Weiji, an old Japanese soldier, also sent a force of about 2,000 people to Yijiachong, Daqiao, Maogongdu and other places in the mountainous areas on both sides of the Liuwei River east of Chunhua Mountain to look for the 51st Division of the reserve force of the 74th Army to fight, but they were stopped.

    The kid¡¯s plan this time was very shrewd. Even if he couldn¡¯t take Changsha City, he would still destroy the 74th Army!

    This is mainly because the 74th Army has caused a huge psychological shadow on the Japanese army in recent years. This army was established in 1937 and is the most dazzling star among the aces of the Kuomintang. It has won the titles of "Anti-Japanese Iron Army", "Hu Ben Division", "Yulin Army", etc.  Titles, successive military commanders include Yu Jishi, Wang Yaowu and other well-known figures, and twice won the highest award from the government during the Anti-Japanese War - the "Flying Tiger Flag".

    The army participated in almost all major battles of the frontal resistance war, such as the Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Nanjing in 1937, the Battle of Lanfeng and the Battle of Wuhan in 1938.  The Battle of Nanchang in 39 years and the three battles of Changsha in 40-41 years.

    If nothing else happens, he will participate in the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Campaign in 1942 and the Western Hubei Campaign in 1943. He will fight to the death with the Japanese army and become the most powerful army among the Chinese forces in the Anti-Japanese War.

    The reason why the Japanese army is so afraid of this unit is mainly because the record of the 74th Army is so brilliant. Not to mention those little miscellaneous fish, the 3rd Division and the 3rd Division among the six permanent divisions established at the beginning of the establishment of the Japanese Army.  The 6th Division had fought against the 74th Army many times. You must know that only 4 of the six main divisions of the Japanese army fought within the pass.

    Judging from the actual combat results of the 74th Army fighting against Japanese divisions with different combat capabilities during the Anti-Japanese War, the 74th Army's comprehensive combat capabilities are quite strong, basically equivalent to the first-class Japanese divisions, and slightly inferior to the Japanese ace.  But in the ranks of the national army, he is worthy of being a trump card with leading combat power and outstanding military exploits.

    Since the Japanese army knew the deployment of the Chinese army through deciphering telegrams, throughout the 27th battle, the heroic 74th Army, under the command of General Wang Yaowu, fought bravely and fought against the enemy, but still failed to repel the Japanese attack, and the troops  The casualties were greater.

    Li Hanqing, the frontline commander of the 57th Division, died while leading two regiments to attack the enemy on the right side of Chunhua Mountain. The division's casualties that day reached 3,000.

    The battle facing the 58th Division in the northeast of Chunhua Mountain was more intense and the casualties were also high. More than half of the company and platoon commanders of the two regiments participating in the front-line combat were killed or injured.

    The fighting lasted until 4 p.m., and the situation of the 95th Division, which was cooperating with the 57th Division, was unknown.

    At this time, about 3,000 people from the Japanese 4th Division crossed the river at Wangxian Bridge and took a circuitous route to the west of Chunhua Mountain. The 6th Division crossed the Liuwei River and occupied Yong'an City and Huanghua City south of the river.

    At the same time, the Japanese paratroopers landed in Dongshan and Dutou cities on the south bank of the Liuyang River east of Changsha, creating a crisis in Changsha.

    Based on the above situation, Xue Yue decided to change the original combat plan and ordered the troops to retreat to the Liuyang River line for new deployment.

    Then the Ninth Theater Command ordered the 74th Army to change its deployment on the night of the 27th and withdraw to Dongyang southeast of Yong'an and the highlands south of Hengjiang, Xiaobu Port and Liuyang River, in preparation for flanking the enemy.

    The 10th Army also followed the 74th Army to attack the enemy, and then moved to the area south of Puji Temple to occupy positions and annihilate the enemy at every opportunity.

    The 37th Army followed the 74th Army to attack the enemy, and then moved to positions south of Zhentou City to attack the enemy with camera.  The 92nd Division attacked the enemy in Ansha, northeast of Changsha, while the 99th Division still defended Mingyue Mountain, northwest of Qingshan City.

    After being attacked by two enemy divisions and a joint land and air attack, the 74th Army, the main force on the battlefield in northern Hunan, had to withdraw from the Chunhua Mountain area. The Japanese army also pursued it, and the battle situation near Changsha deteriorated.

    The Japanese 4th Division north of Changsha was attacking Changsha in three routes. Shiro Hayabuchi's 26th Brigade along the railway on the right was advancing the fastest. On September 27, it encountered no resistance.  In this case, he crossed the Liuyang River.

    The leading 116th Regiment of Colonel Murai Gonjiro broke into the northeast corner of Changsha City defended by the 8th Division in the evening!

    On the 28th, Changsha was occupied by the enemy, and the main force of the 4th Division stopped advancing in the area east of Changsha.

    After the 74th Army withdrew eastward, the Japanese 3rd Division crossed the Liuyang River and continued to attack southward. Its lead, the 3rd Battalion of the 34th Regiment of the 29th Brigade Regiment of Major General Masaru Hanaya, captured Zhuzhou City.

    ?But soon the Chinese army launched a large-scale counterattack. The 4th and 20th armies were still behind enemy lines at Wukou to the west of Pingjiang, and attacked Malin City on the 29th.

    The 72nd Army and the 26th Army also regained Shashi Street in the northeast of Chunhua Mountain on the 29th. Wang Jinxiu's troops attacked Junkou in the southeast of Yueyang on the 29th and blew up the iron bridge in Pingshuipu. The Nationalist Air Force also bombed Yong'an.  The Japanese mechanized troops in Huanghua City and Huanghua City.

    Unable to do so, the Japanese 11th Army began to retreat from Zhuzhou on the night of October 1, and the retreat was very rapid. Therefore, the enemy's 13th Division in Yichang was being fiercely besieged by General Chen Cheng's troops from the 6th Theater.  , need to be reinforced by troops from the Xiangbei battlefield.

    When the Japanese army retreated, the 9th Theater Troops carried out tail pursuit and side attacks.

    On October 6, all troops of the 11th Army returned to the area north of the Xinqiang River.

    The troops of Shiro Hayabuchi who were the first to invade Changsha suffered heavy casualties. The captain of the 1st Battalion, Major Susumu Kawasaki, and the captain of the 2nd Battalion, Major Saburo Yokozawa, were both killed during the retreat.

    So far, the Battle of Changsha has come to an end!

    Although the Second Battle of Changsha is over, the impact has just begun!

    Although this battle is only a local battle on the Chinese battlefield, whether it is victory or defeat is unlikely to have much impact on the entire war situation, the time of this battle is so subtle that the scale of this battle is  This small battle actually had a profound impact on Japan's national policy and even the situation in Asia as a whole.

    Although the Ninth Theater in this battle did not grasp the overall situation of the Japanese army's attack from northern Hunan before the war, it adopted a three-sided defense deployment of northern Hunan, northern Jiangxi, and southern Hubei. At the same time, it was impetuous and negligent during the battle and prematurely attacked the south bank of the Miluo River.  The enemy's decisive battle, coupled with the successive use of main forces and repeated loss of confidentiality, led to the loss of Changsha and Zhuzhou for a time. From a tactical level, it was a complete defeat.

    However, due to the tenacious resistance of the Chinese army, Japan¡¯s attempt to invade Changsha failed, causing the Japanese army¡¯s international prestige to plummet.

    The British Times ridiculed that "Japan copied the Chinese army's pincer tactics, but was defeated by the Chinese army's pincer tactics." For Japan, its image of an invincible and powerful army has been doubted by Western countries.

    Secondly, it deepens Japan¡¯s domestic and foreign affairs crisis. First, it makes Japan unable to be tough in negotiations with the United States.

    Previously, Japan¡¯s forced entry into French India directly led to strong reactions from the United States, Britain and other countries!

    The Japanese invasion of Vietnam was not only beneficial to Japan¡¯s war against China, but also created favorable conditions for Japan¡¯s invasion of Southeast Asia and other places.

    The first to bear the brunt was the United Kingdom, which has the strongest influence in Southeast Asia. Feeling threatened, the United Kingdom first announced the resumption of transportation from Myanmar Railway to Yunnan, China.

    Britain¡¯s purpose was due to its limited colonial forces in Southeast Asia. Once Burma and Malaya were attacked by the Japanese army, they hoped to receive support from the Chinese army.

    British Prime Minister Churchill also made a detailed study of Britain's strategic policy in the Far East and the enhancement of its defense forces.  When analyzing the offensive route of the Japanese army to the British and Dutch territories, it was believed that the Japanese army was likely to travel by land from Vietnam through Cambodia and Thailand to Burma and Malaya.

    At the same time, it also went to sea from Hainan Island and Vietnam to attack Singapore from the sea, control the Malacca Strait and strangle the British Navy's bases in the region, forcing the British Navy to withdraw to the west coast of the Indian Ocean.

    In addition, attack Dutch Indonesia from the sea, block British and Dutch traffic, and cooperate with the land attack.

    After research, the United Kingdom determined that it would strengthen the defense capabilities of the Singapore Navy and Air Force to prevent Japanese attacks from Vietnam, Thailand and the sea.  Strengthen the defense of Kalimantan Island and protect the main shipping routes in the Indian Ocean; strengthen the air force in Malaya by 22 squadrons, maintain 336 first-line combat aircraft, and strengthen the army by 3 divisions, etc.

    But Japan doesn¡¯t care about this. What really gives Japan a headache is the reaction of Americans!

    Although before this, Japan¡¯s Ambassador Nomura had directly notified President Roosevelt of Japan¡¯s intention to station in French India. While explaining the reasons for the stationing, he emphasized that Japan would always work hard to improve the diplomatic relations between Japan and the United States under negotiation.

    However, the Americans did not buy it, and soon the United States issued an order to freeze Japanese assets, and the United Kingdom and the Netherlands also followed suit.

    Even before President Roosevelt ordered the freezing of Japanese assets, he gave a very wonderful speech to the Citizen Volunteer Committee of the Civil Defense Bureau in Washington: "There is a country called Japan here now. Let's not talk about whether this country and this empire are at this time.  With the aggressive purpose of expanding to the south, they don't have any of the oil they need in the north anyway. Therefore, if we cut off the oil, Japan may have gone to the Dutch East Indies a year ago and  We might have had a war"

    Due to the freezing of assets, cutting off oil has become a cold fact, which makes the Japanese unable to sit still anymore and eager to negotiate with the United States.
