    The fall of Shimen made the Sixth War Zone very passive, and at this moment, the balance of the war situation clearly tilted towards the Japanese, which allowed Yokoyama Isamu to see the dawn of victory.

    The Japanese Third Division broke through the Lishui gap and attacked the left wing of the 29th Army. The 44th Army bore the brunt and was torn to pieces by the enemy's powerful offensive. The defeated troops of the 29th Army rushed towards Changde City like a tide.  Directions are coming.

    On November 17, Hengshan Yong's surprise troops had been hiding on the shore of Dongting Lake for nearly half a month. The first part of the enemy's 116th Division cooperated with the enemy's 3rd Division by land to open a way out. After confirming that they could join forces in Changde, the entire division could immediately attack  The regiment crossed Dongting Lake and forced a landing on the eastern flank of the 29th Army.

    At this time, Hengshan Yong used the enemy's 39th Division on the border of Hunan and Hubei to contain the 10th Army, which was in serious trouble; and used the enemy's 3rd Division and the enemy's 13th Division as the main frontal attack force, plus the enemy's independent  The 17th Brigade and part of the enemy's 58th Division advanced hand in hand to directly attack Cili; while the enemy's 116th Division flanked the right wing of the 44th Army from the Dongting Lake.  To make matters worse, the enemy's 68th Division also entered the battlefield. It took water transportation directly to Hanshou County east of Changde and landed directly on the flank of Changde.

    At this time, the overall situation of the Sixth Theater was very passive. The first line of defense had basically been broken through. Not only was the entire division of the 29th Army submerged in the torrent of the enemy's three main corps, but also the Tenth Army and the troops rushing to Ci  Lee's 74th Army was also in a critical situation because its flanks were exposed.  However, Yokoyama Isamu also made a short-sighted mistake at this time. He did not seize the opportunity to eliminate the opponent's effective force, but only focused on the battle for the famous city of Dayi.  If Hengshan Yong did not aim to seize the city at this time, then the 29th Army would definitely be annihilated.

    On November 18, the enemy's third division and a brigade attacked the 150th Division of the 44th Army. The 150th Division fought bloody battles in Linli County, alley by lane, and suffered heavy casualties.  The 13th Division, which was advancing hand in hand with the enemy's 3rd Division at this time, bypassed the 44th Army and attacked Cili directly.  At this time, those guarding Cili were the remnants of the 73rd Army, which had just been defeated at Shimen. Their combat strength was very weak and there was nothing they could do, so they had to abandon the city.  The 74th Army, which had just arrived at Cili and Changde, was only one day away and failed to seize Cili City. As a last resort, it had to launch a defense in the west of Cili and stalemate with the enemy.

    When Sun Zhong heard that Cili had been lost, he was extremely furious. He ordered the 73rd Army to organize and organize the existing troops into death squads to flank the enemy moving south. He also used the strong words "to atone for past mistakes" in the message.  However, the 73rd Army has been disintegrated after two heavy losses. The commander only managed to accommodate 13 infantry companies, and the 73rd Army basically no longer exists.

    After the fall of Cili, the enemy's 13th Division advanced southward without stopping. The enemy's 68th Division, which had not been seen for a long time, was also confirmed to have crossed the lake from Sanxian Lake and landed at Hanshou southeast of Changde.  The enemy's 39th Division in front of the Tenth Army was on the defensive, seemingly content to cover the flanks of the southern attack force.  The most obvious one is the enemy's 116th Division. After the enemy's Third Division captured Lixian, this division immediately crossed the Lishui River from Lixian and ran straight towards Changde.

    The situation has suddenly become brighter for Hengshan Isamu.  At the same time, for Changde, it was already in danger!

    *************************

    Sun Zhong, Guo Wan, Luo Da and Zhang Xian did not expect that the front line would be lost so quickly. In the blink of an eye, Changde had become an isolated city. There was no danger to defend the north, and the enemy was about to approach the city.

    However, the residents of Changde are still retreating. Most of them have left, but there are always some stubborn people who are unwilling to leave.  The police brigade of Changde County was responsible for the evacuation of residents. Under the leadership of Captain Chen, they persuaded the residents to leave day and night. During the day, it was not possible to see that any family members were still there, but at night, the lights could be recognized.  The family would mark the wall with chalk and come back the next day to persuade them. If they really refused to listen, they would have to use force.

    Zhang Xian met such an old lady who was unwilling to leave. This old lady was in her sixties. No matter what the police said, she was unwilling to leave the city where she had lived all her life. The old lady said to Zhang Xian who came in:  "I am already going to be buried, and I will die in my own home. If the devil comes in, I will stab him to death with a pair of scissors." The courage of this old man impressed Zhang Xian and many people present.  He admired her, but Zhang Xian still ordered someone to carry the old man who was unwilling to leave out of the house, and then sent someone to take her to a relative's house in the countryside.

    When Zhang Xian walks on the street, his officer uniform will always attract many young people to come to him, wanting to join his army and follow him to fight the Japanese.  Although he likes these hot-blooded young people very much, Zhang Xian also knows that these untrained young people are just making up for themselves at this moment.He said solemnly: "There are not many people who can make Chief Chen personally nominate the committee members to go to mainland China. Also, even Mrs. Chiang is deeply impressed by you. Your contribution to the Western Hubei Campaign is not small. These are your Sixth War Zone  The people in the commander's department know it very well, and our military commander certainly knows it too. But you didn't get the reward you deserved. In fact, even I can tell. This is because your commander Chen deliberately wanted to test you to see if you can hold your breath.  , I am so impatient that I feel aggrieved! Haha, Zhang Xian, whom so many people are optimistic about, will he be a little person?"

    "Brother, you're making fun of me!" Although he knew that Han Qi was trying to flatter himself, Zhang Xian felt very comfortable hearing such words of praise, and he had lost a lot of his energy without realizing it.  At that moment, he said sincerely: "However, I really want to thank Brother Han. It is Brother Han who came this time. If anyone else had come to investigate me, I am afraid that my reputation would have been discredited and I would have been sent to the Military Justice Department."

    Han Qi smiled. Zhang Xian seemed to be very smart indeed. He knew very well that if someone else were to investigate him, he would definitely be isolated and examined just for the matter of Yasujiro Matsushita.

    "Actually, you shouldn't have told me so much!" Finally, Zhang Xian said a little discouraged.

    Han Qi also sighed and said: "I know you are a very simple person, and there is nothing to check in your letter, but there is no way, it is a routine matter, I must have something to record! Haha, if the postman is still here  city, then I wouldn¡¯t be the one sending you this letter, and I wouldn¡¯t tell you so much to save you so much trouble.¡±

    "I know that Brother Han has always been doing good for me. He told me so much just to make me be more careful in the future!"

    "Yes, and no!" Han Qi said quietly: "I know the danger of this war. If you are still the lucky Zhang Xian and can survive, then so be it! If something unfortunate happens, I just want to  You know the truth, I never feel guilty towards others, only you! However, even if this world is not beautiful, there are still many people who care about you and love you. Once you go through this world, please remember  The beauty in this world, forget the ugliness and despicability!¡±

    "Yeah!" Zhang Xian nodded vigorously.

    ?************************

    Han Qi also left, and Zhang Xian opened the letter Wang Jinna wrote to himself. There was not much in the letter. The last part was a short poem from the Tang Dynasty: "The husband guards the border and keeps my concubine in Wu, and the west wind blows and I worry about my husband." One line  Thousands of lines of letters and tears, so cold that you have no clothes at your side?"

    Reading this little poem, Zhang Xian felt extremely warm and warm in this early cold winter!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
