Chapter 1409 An inch of mountains and rivers and an inch of blood
"Committee, good news! Great news comes from Yichang!"
Immediately afterwards, the communications officer walked to the chairman with an excited expression and said excitedly:
"Because the Hu Ben Army arrived at the battlefield in time and attacked the Japanese invaders with thunder!
The Sixth War Zone organized counterattacks on the spot, and gave the Japanese invaders an extremely heavy blow.
At present, Yichang City has been recaptured by our army, and the commander of the Japanese division, Hidetaro Uchiyama and a group of assistants all committed suicide by separatism.
The 54th Division of the Japanese invaders, independent of the 18th Division, and the 20th Brigade has given up the rescue of Yichang City, and its remnants are fleeing towards Jingzhou!"
Finally, the communications staff almost yelled: "Our army won a great victory in the battle of Yichang City!"
"What? Hurry up, show it to me!"
The Chairman immediately became energetic and took the message and read it carefully.
"Ah, is this kind of thing actually happening?"
"Is this too timely?"
"Yichang City is broken? We won? Haha, it's so cool!"
"They still have some conscience and bottom line!"
At the same time, Zhang Wenbai, Bai Jiansheng and others were all attracted to the chairman and took a look.
"My mom is so happy! Fortunately, it was not too late, so the battle in Yichang City did not fail!"
After reading the telegram carefully, the chairman finally let out a long breath and felt comfortable all of a sudden, just like eating iced watermelons during the dog days of summer.
Previously, the Chairman was still suffering from the failure of the Yichang Battle and was worried that the troops in the Sixth War Zone would be stuck on the Japanese and suffered serious losses when they retreated.
However, in a blink of an eye, everything changed.
The armored cluster of the Tiger Army rushed in strongly, and suddenly knocked tens of thousands of Japanese reinforcements to the point of being dizzy. The Sixth War Zone made a quick decision to counterattack.
Under the joint action of the two forces, the already shaky Yichang City was instantly captured. The desperate Japanese officers such as Hidetaro Uchiyama committed suicide collectively, and the Japanese reinforcements were defeated and dispersed without any suspense!
I have to say that the ups and downs are too fast and too exciting.
Not only did the chairman be happy for a while, but the other senior generals also laughed and praised him for a while!
Without the previous depression and complaints, no matter what, the Chinese Hu Ben Army arrived in time. Not only did it not make the Sixth War Zone lose all its money, but it turned defeat into victory, and gave the Japanese army a heavy blow.
Moreover, with the loss of a series of fallen towns such as Yichang City, Dangyang, Qingxi River, Jingmen, Shiqiao, Luyang, Zhicheng, Xiangyang, etc., the situation of the anti-Japanese war in western Hubei and northwest instantly became extremely favorable!
"Now, western Hubei and northwestern Hubei have been fully revitalized. Let's look at Changsha."
After a while, the chairman touched his shiny head, stood up and stood in front of the map and muttered: "The war in Hunan is the real highlight, but you must not make any mistakes!"
Zhang Wenbai smiled and continued, "Principal, please rest assured. The 31st Army, the 32nd Army, the 22nd Army and the 31st Army have entered southern Hunan and are about to arrive at the front line of the battlefield.
The 9th War Zone has added nearly 300,000 elite American Ace Army. In addition to the original strength, the total strength of the 9th War Zone is nearly 600,000.
I believe that under Boling is fully capable of controlling such a heavy army cluster, under his command, the Battle of Changsha will surely win a complete victory and will surely become the most eye-catching and glorious great victory in the Allied camp!”
"I hope so!"
The chairman laughed from ear to ear. If the Battle of Changsha could really achieve a world-renowned glorious victory as Zhang Wenbai said, it would not only greatly combat the Japanese invaders and alleviate the severe domestic anti-Japanese war situation, but also greatly enhance his personal reputation!
At this time, Bai Jiansheng said: "Commission, I think the Sixth War Zone can take this opportunity to gain a foothold in the Jiangdong area. Perhaps we will usher in a brand new situation of the War of Resistance!"
"Well said!"
The chairman raised his eyebrows and soon came back to his senses. He immediately said to the communications officer: "Hurry, generate electricity for Cixiu and let him seize the fighter plane, and quickly expand the results of the war while the Japanese army is empty and there is no time to take care of northwestern Hubei!"
...
Outside Yichang City, Chen Cixiu, Wu Qiwei, Ren Yixiong, Meng Tao and others finally met.
At this time, the storm and rain had stopped completely. Although the cold was still there, the weather began to clear up and was no longer so uncomfortable.
After introducing each other and asking about their well-being, Ren Yixiong apologized and said: "Sir Chen, I'm really sorry, we came a little late, and the brothers of your army have suffered!"
In order to cooperate with the Sixth War Zone to conquer Yichang, the 1st Army of the Hu Ben Army really did its best.
There is no way, the armored troops of the Hu Ben Army are very strong, but going deep into the army is always a taboo for military strategists.
Moreover, armored troops rely heavily on supply lines and transportation lines, and it is difficult to exert all maneuverability in the event of harsh traffic.
In the season when there are many rain and snow, not all wild lands can easily pass through armored troops.
Not to mention, the Japanese air force did not stop attacking and harassing from beginning to end, which caused great pressure and damage to the Hu Ben Army.
If the Huben Air Force had not temporarily transferred several flight regiments to Xi'an Airport, it could have provided quite strong air support, the difficulties faced by the 1st Army would have paid even greater!
"Where! Where!"
Chen Cixiu waved his hand with a spring breeze on his face and said, "Your army has fought hard to break through many passes along the way, and has arrived here in the heavy rain at night. This is no longer easy.
If you hadn't arrived in time to reinforce this time, we wouldn't know what would have happened! To be honest, this battle of Yichang will achieve such brilliant results, and your army will make a great contribution!"
After understanding the causes and consequences, Chen Cixiu naturally lost his resentment. After all, his skills were not as good as others, and he was three times more powerful than the enemy's total force, but he was beaten to the ground for his teeth!
No matter where you go, you can only lose face.
Especially when compared with the Hu Ben Army, there is nothing to say.
"Thank you, Chief Chen, for your understanding!"
Ren Yixiong nodded and continued, "I know this battle was so tragic that your army paid a huge price.
So we want to go to the city to see the scene and let our military reporter record the heroic sacrifices of their brothers, so that they can promote them more after they go back. I wonder if it is possible?"
"Of course there is no problem, please!"
Chen Cixiu nodded heavily. Not to mention that Ren Yixiong and others wanted to go to the city to see him, it was not the case.
Otherwise, would he have to take a boat across the river and come outside Yichang City to meet Ren Yixiong and others?
Of course, this is not because he wants to go to the city to inspect as a victorious person, but because he really wants to mourn the brothers of the national army who died one after another in Yichang City.
Soon, suffocating and tragic scenes were presented to everyone's eyes.
The ruins of the eyes were full of ruins, layers of corpses, broken limbs and arms could be seen everywhere, and puddles stained with blood all silently telling the cruelty and blood of the battle in Yichang City, and the heroic patriotism of the martyrs!
Chapter completed!
