Chapter 278 Ten days
"The Japanese bombers are coming again!"

A hoarse roar came from among the ruins, and some soldiers who were fighting quickly withdrew from their positions, looking for cover to hide themselves.

The rising sun in the morning does not bring infinite hope and vitality, but death, cold death. The battle of Changde has been fought for ten days. Within ten days, the Japanese have fought at least twenty times?Thirty massive bombardments, bombings.

The entire Changde City is now in ruins. There is no complete building in the city. The headquarters has also been moved three times, and finally moved to a basement of the Central Bank.

In the eastern sky, small black dots appeared one after another. These are Japanese fighter planes. No one has counted how many ammunition the Japanese dropped in Changde City during this period. In Yu Zhiqian's mind, the sound of explosions It never stopped.

No one knows how many of the 200 Kuomintang defenders are still alive. There is only one guard company around Yu Chengwan's headquarters, and the total number of them is less than [-]. Others may be sleeping in the ruins, or in some The place continues to be a fighter.

Heng Shanyong was very anxious. Ever since he intercepted the telegram of the Kuomintang army, because he was biting too much and the Kuomintang army was preparing to fight to the death, he immediately slowed down the rhythm of the attack, but two days, Heng Shanyong deliberately let his army Some flaws were leaked to the Chinese army, and the rhythm of the attack was slowed down, but the Chinese army still did not retreat.

It wasn't until this time that Yokoyama realized that he might have been deceived. After a regiment of the 116th Division was attacked and killed by the Chinese army, the fact that he might have deciphered the Chinese army's telegram had already been known to the Chinese army.

After figuring it out, Yokoyama immediately gave the order for a general attack without hesitation. The artillery fire fell on the city of Changde like rain, and the Japanese army once again launched a large-scale attack on Changde.

At least [-] Japanese soldiers poured into the city of Changde, but under the command of Yu Chengwan, the Changde defenders were broken into pieces, and they no longer cared about the gains and losses of a piece of land with the Japanese, but carried out all kinds of harassment tactics.

When the Japanese were attacking a crossroad, a small Kuomintang army could suddenly appear behind them, sneak up on their buttocks, and then escape.

If the Japanese sent a large army to pursue them, this group of people would lead them around in the ruins of Changde. If the Japanese sent a small number of troops, it would be easy for them to make dumplings.

This kind of tactic, which cannot be caught or used, made the Japanese army tired of coping. Later, Yokoyama ordered to advance with one brigade, one brigade, and the Chinese army just hid in some corners and shot black guns. The tactic of changing one person for one person also made the Japanese unable to afford losses.

In the end, Isamu Yokoyama called for air support, and the Japanese air force joined the bombing of Changde. The caliber of the Japanese mountain artillery is very small, and it does not pose a great threat to buildings. Unless it hits the bullseye, it is difficult to destroy a building. Collapsing.

But the Japanese aerial bombs were much more powerful. After the shells fell, buildings collapsed, and the Kuomintang defenders were buried underneath.

In this way, Japan gradually encroached on the territory defended by the Chinese army and gradually compressed the living space. However, the Chinese army also began to change, and began to operate at night. During the day, it mainly avoided wars, and at night it went to attack Japanese camps. Even if it can't kill a few Japanese, it can make the Japanese have a bad rest and lose energy during the day.

Relying on this tactic of exhausting the enemy, 8000 people still did not allow the Japanese to completely occupy Changde City after paying countless blood.

In the underground headquarters, Yu Chengwan looked at the telegram in his hand with red eyes, and finally tore it off forcefully: "Stick to and wait for help, stick to wait for help, when will you stick to it, ten days, even pigs can come over, This group of bastards, they are just across the river, there are more than 40 divisions, and none of them is willing to save our 57th division!"

After finishing speaking, he hammered the table hard, and the veins on the fist were faintly visible.

"General, call the chairman!"

"Read!"

"The Battle of Changde is related to the entire battle situation in Hubei and Hunan. Only success is allowed, and failure is not allowed..."

After reading the Chairman's telegram, Yu Chengwan put the telegram aside, lit a cigarette for himself, and took a deep puff: "Call back Chairman!"

"The ammunition is exhausted, the aid is exhausted, there are no people, and the city has been destroyed. The deputy commander of the division, the division attached, the head of the political department, the head of the staff department, and the central bank in the city. So far, I wish you victory. Long live the 74th Army!"

"Master, you can't. Keep the green hills here. Don't be afraid that there will be no firewood. Next door to us is the Tenth Army. They just don't come to rescue us. They just want us to be eaten by the Japanese. Teacher, you lead people to break through, and I will stay." !"

"Teacher, you retreat first!"

A group of staff officers in the room strongly persuaded Yu Chengwan. Yu Chengwan smiled and did not speak. I know, maybe the chairman can order a retreat, maybe the chairman can let nearby friendly forces desperately support it!
After smoking, Yu Chengwan stood up: "Everyone stop talking, I've made up my mind, that's it, bring my weapon!"

"General!"

"General!"

Yu Zhiqian didn't know what happened to Yu Chengwan's headquarters. At this time, Yu Zhiqian was lying in a ruin, staring at the Wengcheng not far away. There, the Japanese held a welcoming ceremony for entering the city. Not far from Yu Zhiqian, there was a line of Japanese soldiers lining up.

The Japanese felt that they had captured Changde City. Although there were still people in Changde City who continued to resist, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, Yokoyama announced to the public that Changde City had been controlled, and invited some reporters to prepare to take pictures.

In the Wengcheng, there were some captured wounded soldiers standing on both sides, who were forced to participate in this welcome ceremony.

Several Japanese soldiers took the Japanese aunt flags and began to send them out one by one. When the troops entered the city, they had to wave the flags to welcome them into the city.

"Sir, what are the Japanese doing?"

Wang Youcai asked Yu Zhigan in a low voice.

"Shut up, the Japanese are just doing formalism, wait and see my order before acting!"

"it is good!"

After Wang Youcai heard Yu Zhiqian's words, he withdrew his head and remained motionless, waiting for Yu Zhigan's instructions.
