Chapter 220 Hengyang is on the way
At 9 o'clock in the morning, Song Yuhang received a report from the war zone, and Changsha was lost in just one day and a night. Song Yuhang stood silently in front of the map. Soon, he responded to the telegram to ask the 3rd Artillery Brigade directly under the Military Commission if it broke through.
The telegram stated that only some personnel broke through, and the artillery could not break through! Then Song Yuhang called again to ask whether the artillery had been blown up. The war zone staff replied that it was impossible to know, but he was told that he was "not sure about anything" when asking about other situations! Song Yuhang was so angry that he yelled at the war zone staff that he was fed and did not do personnel!
Song Yuhang cursed in Shaoyang, but the Japanese celebrated their achievements in Changsha. At this moment, Hengshan bravely walked on the position on the south side of Yunlu Palace, the main peak of Yuelu Mountain, with spring breeze on his face. The tragic traces of fighting along the way did not affect the lieutenant general who was in a very good mood at the moment to appreciate the beautiful scenery of Yuelu Mountain.
After about 2,000 people from the Chinese defenders collapsed in the city in the morning, the 3rd Division and the 13th Division had already eliminated the remaining enemies in the city.
On the position south of Lugong, the Japanese officers and soldiers of the 216th Regiment of the 36th Division had already set out to welcome the arrival of His Excellency Yokoyama, which had underground fortifications used by the Ninth War Zone and the 3rd Artillery Brigade.
Hengshan Yong walked into the fortifications. The lights inside the fortifications were still on and the water was still warm. Even a trace of blue smoke was still rising from the ashtray. Wang Ruoqing, the commander of the 3rd Artillery Brigade of the Military Commission, and a group of high-level leaders of the war zone, had just left. Only the twelve intact American m39b15mm howitzers and mountains of ammunition from the 3rd Artillery Brigade were not gone.
The subsequent statistics also shocked Yokoyama Yong himself, seized 12 heavy artillery pieces, 51 wild mountain artillery pieces, 29 machine artillery pieces, 69 mortars, as well as light and heavy machine guns, rifles, materials, etc.!
Changsha was ruined in just one day and a night? Chiang Kai-shek was almost fainted by the anger. What made him even more heartbroken was the obliteration of the 3rd heavy artillery brigade of the Military Commission. Those heavy artillery were all pulled out of Song Yuhang's hand. He heard that Song Yuhang was furious in the military headquarters and said a lot of things that shouldn't have been said. For the sake of these heavy artillery, Chiang Kai-shek had already regretted obeying He Yingqin's encouragement. Now, the heavy artillery was given to the Japanese after a few rounds, which made him even more angry.
Just four main forces crossed the river, Qu Huaping, the commander of the 176th regiment of the defender who stayed in Changsha City, abandoned his troops and left alone. Chiang Kai-shek was furious and became a shame for the party members!”
Suddenly, the generals in the conference room were talking. This was the second air strike of the Empire Capital by the United States using China's southwest airport, and the second time caused His Majesty the Emperor to be injured. Tatsuyao Ichikawa, Akari, Sakuma, and other division commanders began to clamor for revenge on the Chinese, torture and kill Chinese prisoners of war, and to clear out Chinese villages and towns as a revenge on American bombers using Chinese airports to bomb the Empire Capital Tokyo!
Yokoyama Aoka acquiesced the extreme remarks of Tatsuyarongyi and others. He said coldly: "The last time Tokyo was bombed, I had already pointed out that the military power and technology of the empire could not find a way to destroy the B-29 bombers in the air in a short period of time. Our only way is to destroy them on the ground, so that they have no airport to be able to gain a foothold, take off, and land. This is one of our two important strategic goals at present, everyone! Please!"
After saying that, Yokoyama Yong bowed deeply to all the division leaders present!
Then, Hengshanyong's eyes were on Shaoyang near Hengyang. He knew where his strong enemy was stationed now, the first mechanized army of the Chinese army. After a while, Hengshanyong turned his eyes to the periphery of Daxian. On his map, there was a small flag on the edge of some small suns in Daxian without knowing it...
Coincidentally, Song Yuhang was also watching the map in the war room. The Japanese army had occupied Changsha. According to the historical development, the next step of the Japanese army seemed to be concentrating all its forces to Hengyang. However, facing the Japanese army that already had the advantage on the map, Song Yuhang had a very bad premonition, that is, is Yokoyama Yu really only has one Hengyang? If you think from the perspective of others, you have the advantage at this moment, why don’t you take the opportunity to expand your advantage and instead limit your actions?
