Chapter 264 The Second Day

At 05:30 in the morning, Yu Zhiqian, who was still asleep, suddenly woke up, jumped off the bed without hesitation, and squatted in the corner of the wall with a weapon in hand.

"boom!"

Two seconds later, a series of explosions sounded, and the Japanese began a large-scale bombardment of Changde.

The first round was a test firing. The shells fell scattered in Changde City. After the shelling was over, Yu Zhiqian rushed into the headquarters. At this time, General Yu Chengwan and others had arrived, and they were constantly on the phone answer the phone.

"General, the Japanese may be attacking!"

Yu Zhiqian spoke suddenly while Yu Chengwan put down the phone.

General Yu nodded: "Well, Hengshan bravely used the 116th Division and two divisions of the Tenth Army to attack Changde from all sides. I have already notified the frontline troops to keep the Japanese out of the city gate. !"

Yu Chengwan was very polite to Yu Zhiqian, but his identity played a role. Yu Zhiqian is the intelligence department of the headquarters, and Yu Chengwan's specific identity is not sure.

Organizations like the Zhongtong in the Kuomintang army still have a great reputation. If he wants to accuse himself of something, maybe Yu Chengwan knows that he will not be shot, but he will definitely leave a grudge in the principal's heart in the future.

The principal is a narrow-minded person. Anyone who knows Chiang Kai-shek knows this. As long as he doesn’t trust someone, no matter how good he is, it’s useless. For his own future and other things, Yu Chengwan chose to do a small job to Yu Zhi. The captain was so kind.

After hearing General Yu Chengwan's words, Yu Zhiqian raised his brows, then frowned. It is not a better way to stick to the city gate.

"Huh? Captain Yu, do you think it's not feasible?"

"General, let me tell you my personal opinion!" Yu Zhiqian knew that he was a captain, and the identity given to him by the system made Yu Chengwan so polite, and he didn't dare to step in and do it for him. If Yu Chengwan was unhappy, he would not even the headquarters Can't get in.

"you say!"

Yu Chengwan lit a cigarette and looked at Yu Zhiqian quietly.

Yu Zhiqian pointed to Changde City on the map: "If we stick to the city gate, our casualties will be relatively large. The Japanese have the advantage of artillery fire. I think we can choose to resist steadily in the city and use the buildings in the city to delay the pace of the Japanese attack. .

"Using street fighting to continuously cause casualties to the Japanese army and drag them down. Although Yokoyama is not alone in going deep now, his army is almost a protruding part. The Tenth Army and the Eleventh Army behind us are at any time. It is possible to break through the Japanese defense line to support us, and at that time, Yokoyama Isamu will be the turtle in the jar!"

Yu Chengwan looked at the map of Changde: "You mean, we will carry out resistance in the city to hold back their offensive pace?"

"Yes, constant harassment, attacks, guerrilla warfare!"

Hearing the words guerrilla warfare, Yu Chengwan suddenly took out his weapon and pointed at Yu Zhiqian: "Are you a Communist Party?"

"General, using guerrilla warfare is the Communist Party? I am simply proposing tactics. Changde City is so big, even if Yokoyama Isamu and his 3 people rush in, it is just a drop in the ocean. We just need to occupy some favorable terrain and carry out day-to-day battles." Resistance, at night, regaining some territory, in this way, we can hold on for a long time, just like the Battle of Stalingrad!"

Yu Chengwan looked at Yu Zhiqian, and slowly put away his weapons. It can be said that the inside of the Kuomintang is talking about communism, and as long as it has something to do with the Communist Party, it will be very cautious.

"Huh? I want to go!"

Yu Zhiqian shook his head helplessly: "General, then I'll go to the east gate to have a look!"

"it is good!"

After Yu Zhiqian finished speaking, he immediately left the headquarters, put his backpack on his back, and walked towards the east gate with a weapon. Before he had gone far, there was another dull sound from the sky, and the Japanese started shelling again.

Not far in front of Yu Zhiqian, a group of soldiers were carrying the wounded. The previous test firing still caused some combat casualties. At this time, not only the wounded were transported, but also some civilians who had not retreated were clearing the road.

"Scatter, shell, shell!"

Yu Zhiqian immediately quickened his pace and yelled at the people in front of him. After some people heard what Yu Zhiqian said, they were still in place. When Yu Zhiqian saw it, he immediately cursed: "What the hell are you doing standing there, find a place to get down, get down!"

A few seconds after Yu Zhigan's voice fell, the sound of piercing the air came from above the head, whether it was a soldier or a commoner, they were very familiar with this sound, and immediately began to look for cover.

"Hurry up, go this way, go this way!"

While directing, Yu Zhiqian yelled at the people who were stunned, and finally found a corner, hugged his head, and lay down.

Now there is no place in the city that is safe. The Japanese attack with three axes, shelling, and then charging to the death, or they are outflanking. From a few years ago to now, everyone is clear about it.

"boom!"

"..."

In an instant, dozens of shells landed in Changde City, and a series of explosions sounded in Yu Zhiqian's ears. The nearest shell was about [-] meters away from Yu Zhiqian.

After the first round of shelling ended, the second round of shelling fell immediately, the third round and the fourth round. The entire shelling process lasted for about ten minutes before it stopped.

Yu Zhiqian was lying on the ground, with huge roaring sounds constantly ringing in his ears, shells were constantly falling around, and various things such as mud and gravel were flying around his head and sides of his body, like a piece of water in the vast ocean. The small boat could be overturned at any time.

After the shelling was over, Yu Zhiqian's head was buzzing, and he kept shaking his head to wake himself up before he slowly stood up from the ground and looked around. Some of the previously complete buildings had now turned into a ruins.

Although the caliber of the artillery used by the Japanese army was not large, it could not withstand the continuous bombing of the Japanese for 10 minutes. A large area of ​​Changde City was bombed by the Japanese, and houses collapsed in pieces.

Fortunately, a large-scale evacuation had been carried out before the war, and there were not many people in the city. This time the Japanese did not cause too many casualties, but a large number of buildings were damaged.

After Yu Zhiqian stood up, regardless of the dirt on his body, he quickly ran towards a house not far away. Just now, two civilians carried a wounded soldier in to take shelter, but when Yu Zhigan ran over, he couldn't find it. Where is the second house? The house has been bombed and collapsed.

There were ruins all around, and it was impossible to distinguish. Yu Zhiqian stood in place and looked around, but couldn't find it, but there was movement in a corner not far away, and he walked over quickly, digging away all the mud tiles covering it.
