On the entire Changsha battle, the Chinese army launched a comprehensive charge against the Japanese and rushed to the enemy's positions to fight bayonets, without giving the Japanese the opportunity to use their positions to drag time.

"Commander, now the telegrams for help from all over the country have been sent. They need our air force support!" A staff officer came to Neji Kamura and said with some trembling brilliance. Okamura's face was as calm as a pool of stagnant water!

"Commander, what should I do now?" said the Chief of Staff, looking at Okamura Yasuji.

Although he was the chief of staff, he had no idea at all, because the whole situation was out of their control and they were simply unable to turn things around!

"What else can I do? The telegram said that the Chinese army is fighting bayonets with them. Even if we use all the transport planes, load them with ammunition, and let the bombers go there, it is useless. Who can we blow up? It has been mixed together, who can we blow up?

Li Zongren, you are amazing, you actually launched the general attack at this time. Hu Bin, Hu Bin, I will definitely not spare you!" Okamura Nishi was already gritting his teeth after sitting there talking about the two names behind him.

Now he knew that his troops were finished and there was no way to save them. This was the biggest casualty since their invasion of China. The troops of eight divisions and one brigade were wiped out! He didn't know how to explain the result to the base camp, nor did he know how to explain to other generals of the troops!

"Commander, now, are we just watching like this?" the Chief of Staff asked in surprise.

"Order our troops on the East and South Lines to retreat now, and also, order our bombers to bomb there, no matter what troops are below, blow up! Order to attack Linxiang's troops, stop attacking, and stand by on the spot!" Okamura Yanji said while sitting there.

"Ah, let Hu Bin go like this?" the chief of staff asked, looking at Okamura Yasuji.

"Don't let it go. How else do you want to fight? Now send two divisions and a brigade to Hu Bin's troops. With his record, there is no problem blocking one of our divisions, but now our troops there have been defeated. Then other troops come to reinforce. What should I do?

Also, if they take the opportunity to take back Hubei, what should we do? Our losses are even greater. Now you immediately set up defense lines in Hubei and cannot let the Chinese army attack. I think they will definitely start counterattacking Wuhan after the New Year in China. We need to apply to the base camp and we must mobilize troops as soon as possible!" Okamura Yasuji said.

"Hi!" The chief of staff heard it and nodded with difficulty, knowing that Okamura Yanji was right. The key now is not those troops, but the troops attacking Changsha cannot get out!

"Go, I'll write a telegram to the base camp. I have to take responsibility for this matter." Okamura Yiji stood up and said.

"Hi!" The staff officer heard this, nodded, and sent Okamura Niji to his office, and then the chief of staff went to work again.

On Changsha, hand-to-hand combat is still going on. However, the Chinese army has already gained an absolute advantage, and the Japanese's physical weakness is also reflected. Just let them run, they can't run. Therefore, the entire battle is the Chinese army attacking the Japanese and then fighting hand-to-hand combat. No chance is given to the Japanese!

At 11 o'clock, the Japanese bombers came over and dropped a lot of bombs, but not many people were killed. Because Li Zongren arranged air defense troops near the battlefield, the Japanese bombers did not dare to fly too low and could only throw bombs at high altitude. At this time, the soldiers had almost fought. Many troops had withdrawn from the battlefield, and now some troops were still cleaning up the remaining enemies.

"Commander, we won, we won, the main forces of the five divisions of the Japanese have been killed by us. Now we are cleaning up the remaining enemies who are fleeing everywhere!" Xue Yue said excitedly with the telegram reported by the commanders.

The staff members of the entire headquarters stood up and applauded. It was too difficult. A few days ago, they were considering where to mobilize troops from and continue to fight, and they were facing the possibility of being broken through by the Japanese at any time.

But now, they have won, and China has won. This is the first large-scale battle since the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, and it is also the first time that the eight divisions of the Japanese were annihilated in an integral manner. It is also the first time that the number of enemies has been wiped out so many.

"I went out to invent the code telegram and told our compatriots across the country that today, we won, and really won, and the number of annihilated enemies is still counted. However, what is certain is that the troops of the 8 divisions are not left at all. In the next few days, our troops will continue to pursue the remaining enemies and will never let a Japanese leave our Hunan." Li Zongren said happily.

"Yes!" the staff officers shouted excitedly when they heard this.

Jiang Chengshuai, who was in Chongqing, first learned about the situation on the front line and was very excited. He didn't go to rest for a while at noon. He just looked at the battle reports reported from the front line, and was so excited.

Originally, when fighting Changsha, the international environment was very bad. No country believed that China could defeat Japan. However, in the Battle of Changsha, the Chinese army not only gave the people confidence, but also gave the Chinese people all over the world and the country that supported China's anti-Japanese war!

"Okay, Zong Ren fought well, there are 200,000 troops in 8 divisions, right?" Jiang Chengshuai looked at the battle reports and said to the others very happily.

Although those people were a little jealous of Li Zongren, they could only admire him at this time. It would be impossible not to admire him. A battle lasted less than 20 days. Not only did they defend Changsha, but they also annihilated more than 200,000 enemies. This was the greatest contribution in the history of China's War of Resistance.

"Commander, I think we can call Commander Li back to report on the command situation. And those soldiers who have made contributions should make arrangements in advance!" Bai Chongxi said, he and Li Zongren are in the same group. Li Zongren is good, and of course he is good too.

"What you want, what you need is that your general staff must do the next step of combat work, sort out this combat experience, and order Commander Li to report the list of soldiers who have made contributions in combat on the front line.

In addition, your financial department will also withdraw some funds. I want to reward the soldiers of the entire army and the pension. You must also prepare. This battle is good, it has brought about China's morale and China's prestige!" Commander-in-chief Jiang said happily.

"Commander, this battle also sounded a wake-up call for Wang Jingwei. According to what we know, they are going to form a government in Nanjing and want to surrender to the Japanese, saying that we Chinese cannot beat the Japanese. This time I will let him see if we can win or not!" Chen Cheng said from the side.

"Hmph. He is not afraid of waiting for him to die, and he will be infamous for thousands of years! Even the nation and the country are not needed, so what else do he want? Compared to the Yan'an, I look down on him even more. I don't have the ability, but I sell the country very quickly.

He also said that saving the country on a curve is enough. If you can save the country in this way, then what kind of war will you fight? When the Japanese are stupid, after fighting China, you will let the Chinese control resources and military power. Is it possible?" When Commander-in-chief Jiang heard them talk about Wang Jingwei, he was immediately dissatisfied!

"By the way, the General Staff came up with a plan. Taking advantage of the empty Japanese troops in the Central Plains this time, should we take the initiative to attack and take back Wuhan?" Liu Zhi asked as he looked at Commander Jiang.

"I'll wait until Commander Li comes back. The casualties on their side this time are probably not small. The previous battle report has suffered more than 100,000 casualties. Today, it's still a hand-to-hand combat, and it's probably a small casualties.

When he comes back, we will listen to his meaning and see if we want to fight now or wait. However, we will celebrate this victory and celebrate with the people of the whole country." Jiang Tongshuo didn't know whether he could fight Wuhan now. He wanted to fight in his heart, but other people didn't know that the country actually had no money and could not fight at all.

It is already very good to maintain this situation now. However, Commander Jiang is also actively seeking international support. However, those countries have few who really want to support China. They all come with purpose and want some benefits to China, and they don’t give much money!

Commander Jiang was having a meeting inside, and when he heard the sound of firecrackers at the foot of the mountain, the people were already celebrating. Commander Jiang heard it and walked to the window with a smile, looking at the situation below the mountain. Other generals also walked to other windows to look at it.

On Hu Bin's side, Hu Bin was still sleeping at this time. He had just taken medicine. Because he was bleeding too much, he was still drowsy. However, he used his internal energy to clear the wound before, but it didn't hurt so much, he was just tired!

"Brother Bin, Brother Bin, Brother Bin, look, Li Zongren's telegram, we won, we won now!" Li Qinwei quickly ran to the suggestion shed where Hu Bin lived, shouting loudly.

"Brother Bin is still sleeping, please speak quietly." Zhang Fan heard it and shouted reminding Li Qinwei.

"Oh, really, I forgot about this matter, look at me." Li Qinwei heard Zhang Fan's words and remembered that Hu Bin was injured. In addition, he had not slept for a night, so he must be very tired now.

"What's wrong?" Hu Bin had already heard Li Qinwei's shouting, sat up and asked Li Qinwei.

"Win, Brother Bin, we won, Commander Li Zongren and Li sent a clear telegram, "In the Battle of Changsha, we China won!" Li Qinwei saw Hu Bin get up, and ran over and said to Hu Bin excitedly.
