Chapter 527 New Year's Day Offensive
The devil's offensive was so fierce, if the third division of the Tenth Army guarding Changsha hadn't stopped these menacing devils, then the "Tianlu Warfare" would directly explode its own chest.

In Changsha City, Li Yutang received a call from Xue Boling.

"Li Yutang, there are now three divisions with a total of more than [-] Japanese main forces coming to Changsha from east, south, and north. Don't care how many people come, no matter what weapons they have, I want you to hold Changsha for four days Your three divisions must be like a magnet, firmly attracting Anan Weiji's troops to Changsha City!"

Li Yutang said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, my tenth soldier is here!"

"I represent Changsha and Hunan, please!"

"Yes!"

After putting down the phone, Li Yutang went down to the three troops to inspect the construction of the street fighting positions.

This time, the whole army wants to regain the honor that was wiped out in the Second Changsha Battle.

At this moment, the vicinity of the Laodao River is full of guns and guns.

Under the heavy snow, the speed of the tanks was slow, and the devils replaced the "spears" that served as the tip of the attack with their cavalry regiments.

The 3rd, 6th, and 40th divisions of the Devils smashed through the strength of the two armies in Changsha like a bamboo, broke through the defense lines of the Xinqiang River and the Miluo River one after another, and reached its peak after arriving at the Laodao River.

The smooth progress made Anan Weiji and the devil divisions participating in this battle arrogance. After Hong Kong had been captured by his colleagues and the task of restraining the Chongqing army from going south became meaningless, these devil officers did not and could not give up the isolation in their hearts. Changsha City along the Laodao River and Liuyang River.

Stimulated by their colleagues who captured Hong Kong, these Japanese soldiers also longed for the honor of capturing the next city.

In particular, they have known through the intelligence system before that Changsha is guarded by the Tenth Army that was disabled in Laodaohe last time, and the strength of the former "Taishan Army" is far from restored to the past.

That is to say, as long as he breaks through the Laodao River and Liuyang River in front of him, the Changsha City, which is trapped by the remnants of the army, will be in his pocket!
There was almost no hesitation, and no devil officer could resist this kind of honor. When the army of devils came to the Laodao River area, they continued to use their momentum to penetrate straight in.

That is to say, when more than 6 devils broke through the depths from northern Hunan and came straight to Changsha, the multiple armies that were trying to lure the enemy fought and retreated under the offensive of the devils, and each retreated deep into the mountains behind the oblique rear according to the predetermined route. The several armies in charge of the encirclement are preparing to implement the strategy of encircling on all sides and attacking in the heart.

At the same time, a total of 12 divisions were divided into the third, fifth, and sixth war zones. Some of them were troops that had originally gone south to support the British army in Hong Kong. As a result, Hong Kong fell shortly after their departure.They were already on the road and did not return directly to the original theater. Instead, after Xue Boling's telegram, the Chongqing Command dispatched the twelve divisions and headed straight for Changsha.

Anan, who was coming straight to Changsha in three directions all the way, didn't know much. He thought that after Changsha's second offensive battle launched by himself, it would definitely be too late to recover its troops in less than two months. With the addition of 12 divisions at this moment, Xue Boling has mobilized a total of 37 troops from 30 divisions to surround him!
The actions of these troops, in order to achieve the purpose of strict secrecy, and also to prevent the occurrence of the situation where the command communications were deciphered by the devils in the second battle, these troops have preset telephone lines in many places, basically realizing the command operations of wired telephones .

Most of what happened was developing in the direction Xue Boling had preset. The only thing he was worried about now was whether the Tenth Army could hold Changsha City, and whether it could firmly attract Anan Weiji's troops to Changsha City.

Changsha DC District, within an area under the responsibility of the Temporary First Brigade.

Tomorrow is a new day and a new year. At this moment, the city is completely silent, and the muffled sound of heavy artillery in the night wind can be heard in the distance.

On this New Year's Eve, which spanned from 41 to 42, the bombardment by devil ships from above the Xiangjiang River stopped.

These ghost ships, which can fire heavy bombs through naval guns from above the Xiangjiang River, seem to make Changsha City have a stable New Year's Day.

On this New Year's Eve, Anan Weiji's 3rd, 6th, and 40th Divisions, as the main force ordered to attack Changsha, had arrived at the bank of the Xinqiang River in three directions, and Changsha City was already under their telescopes.

Before the night fell, the headquarters of the Chinese Dispatch Army had called Ananwei a few times to question whether there were any hidden dangers in his rapid advance, but he was full of ambitions after he had reached the bank of Liuyang River and Changsha was not far away.

Tomorrow is the New Year's Day of the 17th year of the Showa era. Anan only knows that the best gift he can give to His Majesty is to win Changsha City on this day.

When the dawn of the new year enveloped the land, the heavy snow that had been falling for several days stopped.

On the horizon outside Changsha City, ghosts appeared on the three defense lines in the southeast, north, and south, and the black smoke from the tanks floated over the attack echelon.

At this time, although according to intelligence, the strength of the tenth army of the former "Taishan Army" guarding the city was bleak, these devils still did not forget the trick of besieging three and missing one, and wanted to reduce the resistance of the defenders in Changsha.

The positions outside the city wall and the troops on the city wall formed the first line of defense. The trenches under the city wall were dug deep, and the sound of heavy howitzers and cannons came with the devils. Broken brick particles.

Some shells hit the trenches outside the city wall, causing waves of soil rain to cover the officers and soldiers lying dead in the trenches, and the snow on the ground was scorched and blackened.The snow-covered ground was quite clean, but now with the sound of cannons, pieces of soil were lifted, revealing the deep color of the ground, like scars on the skin.

With the sound of the bombardment of the heavy artillery regiment, there was a booming sound in the sky.

Several devil flying groups flew over Changsha City in three batches. Incendiary bombs, gas bombs and heavy bombs fell under the cabin. A series of explosion flames ignited both inside Changsha City and outside Changsha City.

After the plane passed, the devils on the ground launched an attack in three directions at the same time.

The New Year's Day offensive was officially launched.

When the devils on the ground attacked, Li Chong walked up the city wall from a hole in a private house under the city. Through the binoculars, he saw dense swarms of devils pressing up from the horizon.

The only heavy artillery unit deployed in the war zone on Yuelu Mountain can take advantage of this time to cover artillery fire. This heavy artillery unit is now directly under the command of Li Yutang, but good steel must be used on the blade. Obviously, it is not yet time to use them. when.

The battle order has already been issued, and each of them must defend the city for four days, and everyone is in the city.

Of course, if it is difficult for the devils to attack the city and there are signs of reversal and retreat, they should also be properly released to show them the hope of capturing Changsha, but everyone understands that with the momentum gathered by the devils along the way, this possibility The sex is small.

The battle to the death is coming.
