Others show their swords, I show my missiles!

Regarding the victory or defeat of the Second Battle of Changsha, the Japanese and a few Chinese people had different opinions.

The Japanese claimed that their strategic purpose was not to occupy Changsha, but to eliminate the main force of the Ninth Theater.

The Japanese claimed that they had actually captured Changsha. After capturing a corner of Changsha, the follow-up divisions quickly occupied the entire Changsha. The Ninth War Zone almost fled without a fight in Changsha. The Japanese pursued the troops of the Ninth War Zone to Zhuzhou. .

Because the strategic goal has been achieved; and because the senior officials attacked Yichang, once Yichang is lost, the achievements of occupying Changsha will be eclipsed, and it will be a failure overall. Then he took the initiative to withdraw his troops.

It was only because the Japanese changed their past behavior, and after occupying Changsha, they made no infringement with the people of Qiu, and did not cause Changsha to be destroyed, that after the withdrawal, it seemed as if the Japanese had never invaded Changsha.

It was precisely because China was defeated in this battle that General Xue requested punishment just after the battle.

Regarding the number of casualties, the Japanese claimed that they had killed more than a thousand Japanese and injured more than [-]; while the ninth theater had [-] to [-] casualties.

Both sides reported the other party's casualties higher and their own casualties lower. This is a routine operation. There is no need to point fingers in this regard.

The mainstream view is that China won and the Japanese failed.

No one believed the lies that the Japanese had nothing to do with Minqiu after they occupied Changsha.

If it turns out that the Chinese army evacuated Changsha with almost no resistance, it was probably because the Japanese used poison gas bombs on a large scale.

In the end, I continued to be the commander of the Eleventh Army for my own sake; while General Xue still commanded the Ninth Theater.

Although Yichang and Changsha are thousands of miles away from Yangcheng, Shanxi Province, the independent brigade surrounded the [-]rd Division and held back the [-]th Division and the [-]st Division.

Moreover, Jiang Wufa was given some anti-aircraft missiles.

These indirectly helped Jiang Wufa.

This made our casualties smaller and the results greater than in the second Changsha Defense Battle in history.

This was a real victory. After the war, General Xue did not call his superiors to request punishment.

Only at the post-war summary meeting, General Xue mentioned that some division commanders were ineffective in fighting and were afraid of the enemy.

As soon as they came into contact with the Japanese, they retreated into the mountains and stopped communicating with the outside world. After confirming that the Japanese were gone, they came out to ask about the battle situation and mission instructions.

If it weren't for the presence of these division commanders, the results would be more obvious.

I also reported the victory for myself, saying that Changsha had been conquered. According to the strategy formulated at the beginning of the year: "You can attack briefly, but you must return to the original place in time to maintain the original situation." After achieving the goal, we will return to the original place.

Judging from the timeline, the second half of the Second Changsha Defense Battle, which was advanced, had already followed the failure of the [-]th Division to rescue the [-]rd Division in the Yangxian area.

Let’s push the timeline back to March 3nd.

Because the [-]st Division has become half disabled, the [-]th Cavalry Brigade is dispensable. The Western Corps is far away in Wuxiang. Only the [-]th Division can pull out the [-]rd Division. group.

The division commander of the Thirty-fifth Division is Yuanji Xiongji, and its former division commander is Gojiji, the flower of artillery, known as one of the two flowers.

Another famous general's flower, Anbu Daoxiu, was killed by a mortar of the Eighth Route Army on November 1939, 11.

Its old classmate was on his way to take up the post of commander of the Eleventh Army, but his plane was shot down and he was finished;

Another old classmate, who was the commander of the [-]th Division, was also killed by a mine.

The latter two incidents have not yet occurred.

What had already happened was that in early May 1940, Hou Dizhi followed Shao Dijun's order and led the main force of the 5th Division to attack General Wei's headquarters guarding the Jincheng area to assist the First Army in combat.

There was a close-range melee between the two sides, and Gochiji was shot in the head and chest.

The commander of the infantry regiment, Fantuan Wei Sannan, was barking and barking at the command. When he saw that Houji was about to collapse, he hurriedly protected it while fighting and retreating, and gradually left the battlefield.

The military doctors accompanying the army had limited capabilities and only briefly stopped the bleeding and bandaged its wounds, and quickly sent it to Peking for treatment. However, due to excessive injuries, it died in Peking.

The fate of this rice ball-hazardous third man is also not good.

He is the commander of the infantry regiment of the [-]th Division. The Japanese infantry regiment is not a regiment-level organization, but a command organization equivalent to the brigade level.

The Thirty-fifth Division is a three-unit division. It does not have a brigade, so we created an infantry regiment.

It is responsible for commanding three infantry regiments under the leadership of the division commander.

The actual power is slightly greater than that of the brigade commander. There are usually two regiments under the brigade commander, while the infantry regiment has three regiments.

After Gojiji was rescued underground, his replacement was Yuanji Xiongji.

In the following months, the Battle of Zhengtai Road broke out, and various traffic raids were derived from it, paralyzing the Japanese traffic.

Xiong Ji called the rice ball over and scolded him. He scolded the rice balls so much that he went back and drank three kilograms of sweet potato roast, led three infantry regiments, and raided like crazy.

Seeing how arrogant it was, our army wanted to send a special operations team to educate it.

One night, after a day of raids, the Japanese were so tired that they didn't even want to eat dinner and fell asleep.

Most of the tents had their lights out. Only one tent still had a light on.

Rice ball Wei Sannan is drinking sweet potato roast, missing his old leader, as if he can see his old leader waving to him.

The special forces team saw that only this tent had lights on, and guessed that there was a high-ranking official inside.

I looked through the crack in the door: Isn’t this just a rice ball?

Then eat it!

Twenty light machine guns fired at the tent, watching the rice balls being beaten into sieves.

This place was inside the Japs camp, and the special forces had no time to check. They grabbed a few guns and evacuated before the Japs could react.

It turns out that this thing is really lucky! He was shot more than twenty times in the body, but the shots avoided his vital points, and he was not dead at that time! The Japanese quickly sent him to the hospital.

If there were current medical conditions, it might be able to survive, but conditions were limited at that time, and it died in the end.

The Japanese blocked the news and said it was not dead yet. It was not until a few years later that the news came out that it actually went to seek treatment from its old leader, Houdi, within two days.

Therefore, the Thirty-fifth Division became the "evil division", and it was unlucky to be a high official in this division.

Especially the name of the current division commander also has the word "fierce", which makes this division even more fierce.

I'm afraid this time is also a disaster.

这个师团由步兵第219联队、步兵第220联队、步兵第221联队、师团直属搜索第35联队、野炮兵第35联队、工兵第35联队、辎重兵第35联队及通信队、兵器勤务队、卫生队、第1、第2野战医院组成。

Each infantry regiment is equipped with many combat vehicles.

The artillery attached to it is field artillery, not mountain artillery, and its firepower is relatively strong.

However, when it comes to firepower, no unit can compare with the independent brigade!
