    That night was a pain that Chongqing will never heal, and a suffering that the Chinese people will never forget.

    During the air raid, not many people were actually killed directly, but two to three thousand people were trapped upside down in the air raid shelter and died. It is said that the trucks pulling the corpses were pulled more than ten times at that time.  Although this tragedy was recorded on the heads of the Japanese, the government's ineffective rescue, officials' inaction and corruption, and the substandard quality of the project were all exposed.  On the one hand, he faced overwhelming public opinion on accountability. On the other hand, Chairman Chiang was also very angry, so he sent people to investigate the matter thoroughly. In the end, he could only find a few scapegoats and removed Chongqing's air defense commander and mayor of Chongqing.  Waiting for a group of senior officials to give an explanation to the people.

    In those days, the tragedy in Chongqing became the headlines of newspapers across the country and even the world, arousing the determination of countless Chinese people to resist Japan.  However, in Chongqing newspapers, Zhang Xian became the only news figure that the Chinese people could be proud of. The process of saving a little girl from a stranger that day was seen by many reporters who heard the news and came to film the tunnel tragedy, so they all reported on that moment.  , Zhang Xian became a hero.  And precisely because Zhang Xian was an active-duty officer of the Kuomintang at the time, he could give people the impression that the Kuomintang army was close to the people, so he was recognized by Chairman Chiang and personally commended him, from a second lieutenant to  After being promoted two levels in a row, he was directly promoted to captain, so in terms of military rank, he could be on an equal footing with old guys like Zhang Muli and Huang Xinyuan.

    Of course, Zhang Xian didn¡¯t know about these situations at the time. He was in a coma in the hospital for three days. When he woke up, he only saw Yin Jian sitting next to him, taking care of himself.  In fact, he was not injured on his body, his injury was in his heart.

    Yin Jian¡¯s eyes were also red. He had obviously cried many times. When he woke up, he told him that a lot of things had happened during the three days he was unconscious.  I don't know how many people came to visit him, many of whom were his lifelong friends. Seeing the bouquets all over the ward, Zhang Xian believed Yin Jian's words.  He turned around and saw the pink plastic hairpin lying on his pillow. Yin Jian told him that he had been holding this hairpin tightly in his hand when he was sent to the hospital.  Tears rolled out silently again, his lover was gone forever, but her words still rang in his ears, "If love lasts for a long time, how can we stay together day and night!", at first he thought he would.  He left before her, never expecting that Manli would sacrifice her own life in exchange for his survival.  Zhang Xian closed his eyes and silently paid tribute to Cang Ming in his heart: He will never be happy in this life and is destined to face it alone. He only hopes to continue his relationship with Manli in the next life.

    Yin Jian told Zhang Xian that because the division commander had to return to the division headquarters for business, he stayed to take care of him and asked him to stay here for a few more days until he was physically demobilized before returning to the army.  Yin Jian also knew about Man Li's death. He cried several times, but at the same time he told Zhang Xian that he wanted to avenge Man Li and demand blood repayment from the Japanese devils.  Yin Jian's words also reminded Zhang Xian that he should not let himself languish because of this setback. His enemy was the Japanese. It was these invaders who first took away his parents and now his lover.

    Manli left, taking with her the love that Zhang Xian first met.

    *********************

    After knowing that Zhang Xian was awake, many people came to see him, especially the reporters, who always asked boring questions here and there, and even asked him if he had slept with the girl who saved him.  Zhang Xian couldn't bear to be disturbed, so the next day after waking up, he quietly returned to Wan County with Yin Jian.

    After Zhang Xian returned to the division headquarters in Wanxian, he was regarded as a hero by everyone. Commander Fang said that he became the youngest captain officer in the national army. In the 11th Division, only a captain officer became the platoon leader. This is also  It was too unreasonable, so Wang Yuanling promoted him to the position of company deputy of the first company and concurrently served as the platoon leader of the first platoon.

    At this time, the international situation had also undergone great changes. The Soviet-German War broke out. The Japanese wanted to end the stalemate on the Chinese battlefield as soon as possible and tried to end the Sino-Japanese War as soon as possible so that they could prepare for the war against the Soviet Union, so they launched  The second battle of Changsha.  The battle was fought in southern Hubei and northern Hunan, which was the jurisdiction of the Ninth War Zone.  In order to ensure the victory of the battle, the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government ordered the Third, Fifth and Sixth War Zones to launch attacks on the Japanese troops facing them in order to contain the concentration of Japanese troops.  The Eighteenth Army is under the command of Chen Cheng in the Sixth Theater and has three divisions: the Eleventh, Eighteenth and Fifty-fifth Divisions. The Eleventh Division is the main force of the Eighteenth Army.  The Sixth War Zone decided to take advantage of the empty Japanese army near Yichang and send troops to seize Yichang, an important city in western Hubei.

    Near Yichang, there were only two Japanese divisions at this time. The 13th Division was stationed in and around Yichang City, and the 39th Division was deployed in Dangyang and Jingmen in the east.  Among them, the 26th Brigade of the 13th Division was taken away to participate in the Changsha Battle. It should be a good fighter opportunity at that time, because the Changsha BattleThe game has just started.  It was not until the National Army discovered the enemy's 26th Brigade in the Battle of Changsha that they realized the emptiness of the enemy's defense in Yichang, but it was a month too late at this time.  It seems that the Japanese intelligence work is much stronger than that of the national army.

    The combat plan was quickly formulated, and the War Department decided to isolate the Japanese 39th Division first and cut off its connection with the 13th Division, and then attack Yichang City.

    Originally, the combat headquarters had issued an order on September 23, requiring all participating troops not to launch an attack before the 27th or 28th.  However, due to the hasty preparations for the battle and the lack of coordination and communication between the various units in advance, the adjustment and deployment actions were very slow, and the attack was not launched until the 30th.

    ?******************

    The Eighteenth Army was not asked to participate in the war, but Fang Qing, the commander of the Eleventh Division, volunteered to participate in the war to avenge the Dangyang revenge of the Eleventh Division a year ago.  The combat headquarters finally agreed to Fang Qing's request and allowed the 11th Division to participate in the battle, under the control of the Second Army.

    In the battle to defend Yichang a year ago, the 11th Division was transferred from the 9th Theater to Dangyang to defend it. It stubbornly withstood several enemy attacks and suffered heavy casualties. However, it was finally forced to give up because the friendly forces on the left and right flanks were defeated.  To Dangyang City.  Shortly after the fall of Dangyang, Yichang also fell into the hands of the Japanese army.

    This time, the 11th Division was once again deployed outside Dangyang City, but the mission was different from the last time. It was to prevent the enemy's 39th Division from reinforcing Yichang, block the connection between the two enemy divisions, and cut off the link between Hanyang and Yichang.  Highway, cooperate with friendly forces to attack Yichang, and if possible, it is best to capture Dangyang City.

    This is the first time Zhang Xian has truly faced the battlefield. He is a little nervous, but at the same time he is also a little excited.  Looking at the new recruits under him, they were all gearing up, wishing they could enter the battlefield earlier and fight the enemy to the death. Of course, everyone could not help but become nervous, but the only calm one in his platoon was Yin Jian.  Yin Jian once fought against the Japanese. Of course he has something to be proud of, so of course he can teach everyone his experience.

    It took the troops two days to complete the transfer from eastern Sichuan to western Hubei, and were deployed near Wangdian between Dangyang and Yichang.  The distance from Dangyang to Yichang is about 60 kilometers, which only takes two or three hours for the highly motorized Japanese army.

    Commander Fang set up the division headquarters at Wangdian on the front line and deployed the 31st Regiment at Xiongjiahe east of Yichang to prevent the Japanese 13th Division from counterattacking. At the same time, this regiment also served as a mobile and backup force.  Once the enemy's 13th Division is wiped out, they can take advantage of the situation to rush into Yichang City and win first-class military exploits.  The other two regiments of the 11th Division, the 32nd Regiment and the 33rd Regiment, were deployed in the south of Dangyang City, launching an offensive posture against Dangyang. This is the famous ancient battlefield of the Three Kingdoms - Changbanpo, where the victorious general was  It was here that Zhao Zilong broke into Cao's camp seven times in and out, and finally escaped safely with Liu Bei's son Xiao Adou on his back, thus becoming famous in one fell swoop.

    The battle started soon. Two regiments of the Japanese Thirty-ninth Division refused to defend Dangyang City, and a cavalry regiment was harassing nearby. However, this time the Chinese army dispatched three armies of a group army to besiege.  When the sun rises, it is inevitable to win.  But after the war started, everyone realized that the Japanese army had already prepared for the battle. They dug trenches, prepared positions, seized the best terrain, and built many strong fortresses.  The army has a chance to break in.  The Japanese invaders were very tenacious, but the Chinese army only attacked for one day and suffered heavy casualties. Fortunately, the purpose of the combat headquarters was only to trap the enemy's division and prevent it from reinforcing Yichang, so starting from the next day, the battle began  After the confrontation, no major progress was made.

    On the contrary, the fighting was extremely fierce in Yichang, which was the target of the Jiang Defense Army's attack, and the Second Army belonged to the Jiang Defense Command.  The seven divisions of the Jiang Defense Army mainly attacked Yichang, but the Japanese 13th Division defending Yichang was also extremely tenacious. The battle lasted for three days, and both sides suffered heavy casualties, but the Jiang Defense Army had not yet invaded the urban area of ??Yichang.  The Japanese army had a great advantage in the air, and the roaring planes dropped bombs into the Chinese army, which dealt a huge blow to the Chinese army.  At the same time, the enemy violated the provisions of the Geneva Convention and used poison gas on the national army. For a while, the national army suffered heavy losses.  At this time, the Battle of Changsha was about to end. The Japanese army urgently transferred back to the Eleventh Army stationed in Wuhan to send troops to reinforce Yichang. The Eleventh Army returned the 26th Brigade and the 103rd Brigade of the 13th Division to defend Yichang.  Once a fighter jet is lost, it will be difficult to get another chance.  Therefore, the combat headquarters immediately mobilized three more divisions to join the battle to capture Yichang, and the 31st Regiment of the 11th Division was also transferred to the Second Army to attack Yichang. The 11th Division was thus dismembered, leaving only  Two combat regiments were dismounted.  At this time, the combat headquarters sent another telegram to all armies. In order to complete the recovery of Yichang and end the war as soon as possible, all ministries must strictly abide by the headquarters' military orders, attack the Japanese troops in front of them, and conquer the established goals.

    Commander Fang Qing followed the orders of the combat headquarters without hesitation and stepped up the attack on the enemy in front of Dangyang.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com).com
