With the arrival of the 74th Army and the 27th Army one after another, the war in Hengyang has been decided!

In the following days, the main force of the 11th Japanese Army gradually got rid of the pursuit of the Chinese main force due to the support of two divisions and retreated to the vicinity of Tanzhou. The main force of the Chinese army crossed Hengyang, successively recovered important cities such as Xiangtan and Zhuzhou, and confronted more than 100,000 Japanese troops near Tanzhou.

Instead of opening up the mainland line, the Japanese army, who were threatened by the Chinese army due to insufficient troops, had to urgently ask for help from the Kwantung Army and then dispatched two divisions to go south. The Japanese North China Front Army could only transfer two mixed brigades to go south to support.

That is the greatest capability of the Kwantung Army and the Japanese North China Front Army. Although Maoxiong Kingdom is focusing on how to deal with its strongest opponent, the Siberian Legion, which still has hundreds of thousands of troops in Siberia, may send troops to the Kwantung Army at any time.

The Japanese North China Front Army is now even more unbearable. Zhongtiao Mountain and Taihang Mountain have become barriers that they cannot cross. Not to mention, in Jin Province, there are only 67 counties left in the 102 counties occupied during the heyday of the strongest troops. Even important cities like Yuncheng and Linfen have been recovered by China; in Hebei Province, although most of the cities are still in the hands of the Japanese army, the vast rural areas are almost all under the control of China; Shandong Province is seen to be copied by China in an almost similar model. The Japanese army now basically only controls cities and main transportation roads. It depends on the mood of the Chinese people. If they are not honest, roads and railways will be interrupted at any time.

To put it bluntly, the current Japanese North China Front Army has achieved great success, and the strategy of advancing south has long been thrown away the garbage can. At this time, two divisions and two brigades have been transferred to the south. It was purely because Okamura Koji had just been promoted to commander of the Chinese Expeditionary Army. He did not want to see the battle situation a mess and bit his back teeth and did it.

Otherwise, if anyone could send a division to the south as commander of the North China Front Army, it was because he felt guilty when he had an affair with Tian Junliu's wife.

China also officially issued a notice to all China and the East and West allies seven days later: The 113-day Battle of Hengyang will be won!

Chinese people in the Chinese-controlled areas took to the streets, ringing gongs and drums, lit firecrackers, and cheering to celebrate this hard-won victory.

The mainstream media in the United States, the Empire of the Sun never set, the Gaul Rooster, the Feather Bear Country and other countries also praised the city defense battle that was a heroic battle in the ancient Eastern country that occurred in poverty and backward.

The Maoxiong Kingdom even compared this battle with a famous defense battle that took place on its own territory, and named it the "Oriental Moscow" defense battle.

This famous defense battle, which took place from September 1941 to the beginning of 1942, was hailed as the turning point of the anti-aggression war between Maoxiong Kingdom. It was that after this war, the myth of the undefeated German Empire was completely shattered, and Maoxiong Kingdom launched a large-scale counterattack mode.

Mao Xiong Kingdom compared the Hengyang defense war with the Moscow defense war, which even expressed their recognition of the current Chinese allies, which also allowed a group of Western countries led by the United States to place China as an equal allies for the first time.

More than 20,000 regular troops and tens of thousands of ordinary people actually resisted the attacks of Japan's most powerful field army, which is a record that no country has achieved on any battlefield.

Although the United States has defeated the Japanese on the Pacific battlefield, perhaps only the Americans themselves know that the people who defeated the Japanese are not how brave the American boys are, but their ultimate industrial capabilities.

In fact, on the battlefields of the islands in the Pacific, the Japanese army made the Americans feel heartbroken.

The Guadalam Battle broke out in 1941. The Mid-English army invested 60,000 ground troops, dozens of ships, more than a thousand aircraft, and Japan invested more than 30,000 troops in the army. The final result was that nearly 8,000 American troops died in battle and more than 400 pilots alone, and finally captured Guadalam.

In 1943, there were only more than 2,300 Japanese engineers on the island. The Japanese army on the island shivered from the cold islands, which was not considered combat effectiveness at all. In order to deal with these more than 2,000 Japanese troops, the Mid-Armed Army sent the famous 7th Infantry Division, which also used sneak attacks.

As a result, the entire Japanese army was destroyed, but the Mid-American army suffered nearly 2,000 casualties and 2,000 frostbite had to withdraw from the battle.

Perhaps the Americans at this time would not know that the battle to rob these islands was just the foreplay before the climax. The real bloody battle was still half a year later. The battle of Okinawa, which was closest to Japan, even with thousands of warships and thousands of fighter jets to assist, the 100,000 Japanese troops still fought over the Americans who were almost the same as theirs.

However, it was the battle that made the American top leaders realize that if they still fought like this when attacking Japan, they would completely sacrifice a generation of young people in the United States, and the fat bomb that had been successfully tested was included in the military plan.

But no matter what, at least at this time in 1944, the senior management of the US military knew that the Japanese Army might still be no match for the US military, but in terms of combat will and tactical execution, it is definitely one of the opponents that the US does not want to encounter on land.

But the Chinese actually did it. With a 1-5 military force comparison, without the advantage of firepower, the most powerful field army of the Japanese Army was destroyed by a small city.

"I firmly believe that our Eastern allies can become our most reliable partners in the East because their soldiers have a stronger will than steel! Because they have the best middle and lower-level military commanders in the world!" Stilwell, chief of staff of the Chinese theater, said bluntly at the press conference.

"We need to strengthen contact with our Eastern allies and give them enough respect and more assistance, which will help the war end early!" General McArthur, commander of the Far East of the United States, wrote in a telegram to the US President.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! One month after the victory of the Hengyang Defense Battle, the US Congress approved interest-free loans to China with a total amount of US$1 billion, and a large number of resources of arms and other various materials have been continuously entering China from Myanmar.

The original amount of this loan was only $300 million, and there was still interest, and the government required the government to provide important ports and well-known mines as guarantees.

However, the victory of Hengyang's defense battle allowed the whole world to see the determination and strength of Chinese soldiers to defend their homes.

On this planet of natural competition, if you want to win respect, you only have strength and fist!

However, there was a lot of wail in Japan. The people and the military were full of accusations against the commander of the Chinese Expeditionary Army Tian Junjiu and the commander of the 11th Army Yokoyama Yong, who believed that it was their miscommand command and judgment that led to the disastrous defeat of Hengyang and the destruction of the battle of Henan, Hunan and Guangxi.

Some radicals even marched and demonstrated with blood letters, asking these two unlucky guys to be responsible for their defeat. They should apologize to His Majesty the Emperor and all the people.

Tian Junjiu had already left the job and was just a temporary agent. So after his successor Okamura Koji arrived in Jiangxia and made a simple handover, the guy fled directly to Wanzhou on the grounds that he was sick and did not leave. He neither returned to China nor stayed in China, so he hid.

Tian Junliu is an army general after all. He was awarded the marshal of the Army because of the smooth advancement of Henan, Xiang and Guizhou in time and space. He was also the top figure in the Japanese Army. Everyone was hiding. Who could do anything to him?

In the end, in order to calm domestic public opinion, Tian Junjiu was appointed as the commander of the Japanese Western Army. The so-called Western Army is synonymous with reserves. Due to the large loss of youth and strong people, most of the Western Army were weak soldiers and women, and even a few useful equipment was difficult to collect.

Tian Junliu only brought those weak soldiers and women to practice bamboo guns, and had no chance of reusing them. This was originally a position that once belonged to Yokoyama Yong in time and space.

Yokoyama Yuki, who was robbed of his position, suffered this time. He was ordered to leave his post and returned to the local area to report his work. As a result, he had conflicts with Okamura Koji. Okamura Koji also took advantage of the public opinion to deliberately torment his old opponent, and on the excuse that there was no transport plane, he asked him to take a canned train to transport warship supplies to Tianjin City, and then arrived at the local area by boat there.

When the depressed Yokoyama Yong was parked in a county in North China, he instructed his guard captain to get out of the car and get some meat and wine to relieve his boredom. As a result, he was accidentally targeted by the guerrillas of the 80th Army. The ones who were doing the work were all assistants. Could it be that there must be at least a colonel on the train?

With the simple idea of ​​being able to be a major even if you can't be a colonel, the armed brigade of the 80th Group Army did not report upwards, and buried three large explosive packs 10 miles in front of the train and carried out artificial detonation.

One of the explosive packs exploded just under the No. 4 carriage where Yokoyama was riding. Yokoyama, who was still drinking in the carriage, was directly seriously injured. He was rescued by the Japanese army who rushed over and sent him to the county town to report to the great master Amaterasu before he could be rescued.

It was not until a long time later that the news from the Japanese army was leaked that the armed brigade learned what collider they had killed. Chunchun killed a Japanese lieutenant general, and he almost became the commander of a Japanese front army.

The civilian armed brigade leader who made the decision received a reward of 30 rifles and a crooked light machine gun. The armed brigade also directly turned into an infantry company under the Independent Regiment of the 683rd Brigade, and turned gorgeously into a regular army.

This is awesome luck...

Hengshan Yong: If this unlucky person had known that he would die at the hands of a group of unknown soldiers, it would have been better to die in Hengyang!

After all, there are still some famous Chinese generals like Fang Xianjue, Zhao Zili and Tang Dao.

At home and abroad, the victory of Hengyang Defense War was full of joy, and the war entered a new situation.

But in Hengyang, there was not all the joy. The heavy casualties of the Hengyang defenders were on the one hand, but on the other hand, it was because Tang Dao, the director of the fifth-ranked Operations Department of the Hengyang Command, was seriously injured and unconscious during the last day of the battle in Hengyang.

In order to save his life, the famous Western doctor from Hengyang Field Hospital personally performed an operation on him. After a long 8-hour operation, more than ten shrapnel were removed, but he still could not guarantee his life safety.

Fang Xianjue, Zhao Zili and Ge Youcai, who were also carried on a stretcher, were waiting in the field hospital for the middle of the night. In the end, what he saw was the swelling face, the Tang Dao wrapped around his body, like a rice dumpling, and Dan Tai Mingyue, who had always been strong, cried into tears.

After receiving the news, the Military Commission urgently sent a special plane and flew from Shancheng to Guicheng with three American doctors, and then arrived in Hengyang, intending to treat Tang Dao and take him to Shancheng.

However, this time the man was not because of some minor thoughts, but because of Tang Dao and the Sixing Group became famous again because of this Hengyang defense battle. From the perspective of national strategy, this flag must not be allowed to fall down like this.

However, Hengyang Field Hospital was completely taken over by the officers and soldiers of the Four Army Regiment, not to mention that the American doctors would not allow them to enter, even the Chen-sen think tank who came to Tang Dao had an old family.

What is the reason! Although Chief Leng, who was in charge of the field hospital himself, did not say it clearly, he still had a gun and was still standing in real-time ammunition on the face of the Battalion Commander Cai Yongguan, who was guarding the door of the Tangdao ward, explained everything. All the officers and soldiers of the Four Lines Regiment did not trust some people.

In the face of the life of the regiment commander, all the military orders did not work for them. If you didn't see Commander Xue coming in person with the think tank surnamed Chen, he was shocked?

But even the arrogant Commander Xue did not use military orders to ask them to let go.

Let’s not talk about the military achievements of the Four Army Regiment in the Hengyang Defense Battle. Just talk about the tactical deployment made by more than a thousand remaining soldiers of the Four Army Regiment around the field hospital, how many people will have to be paid to conquer it?

Even if the statistics have not been fully calculated yet, according to the most conservative estimate of the General Staff of Hengyang Command, the Japanese army killed and injured in the hands of the Four Army Regiment, accounting for half of the entire Hengyang Defense Battle.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! That is definitely a number that can make any commander at the army level or above, which means that if you want to kill this terrible infantry regiment, you will have to pay the price of destroying all two infantry troops.

Finally, under the leadership of Dan Tai Mingyue, the think tank surnamed Chen and an American doctor entered the ward and briefly checked Tang Dao's physical condition.

"I'm sorry, Tang's life has entered the countdown. His heartbeat, blood pressure, blood oxygen and other life indicators are only one-third of that of normal people. Such people should have died before we came. But perhaps because Tang is a soldier, his body is stronger than ordinary people, so he is still alive until now, which is already a miracle. Compared with Dr. Norman's medical skills, I admire Tang's tenacious vitality more." The American doctor shook his head and sighed.

"Is Tang Dao's injury really so serious?" The man looked at his think tank and instinctively doubted.

"Yes, Dr. Michel personally checked Tang Dao's indicators, and his vital signs were extremely weak. Mrs. Tang had applied to Commander Xue that if the condition was stable, Tang Dao would be transported back to Taihangshan Hospital for treatment. If he unfortunately died, he would buried his coffin in the martyrs' cemetery in the Sihang Group in Taihangshan. Commander Xue did not dare to make a decision and asked me to ask you for advice on his behalf." The Chen think tank answered.

"Even if you are so severely injured, it will take one or two years to recover. Who will be the leader of the Four Lines Regiment? This is an elite soldier!" The man lowered his head and pondered for a moment, muttering to himself.

"The Four Army Regiment is already disabled, and there are less than 800 officers and soldiers who can fight. There are as many as 2,000 disabled soldiers, and more than 2,000 killed in battle. Moreover, I see these officers and soldiers, due to the heavy casualties of their troops, the regiment commander was seriously injured and dying. They were all tired of war. Even Commander Xue and I went to comfort me, and I was in a depressed mood. I was afraid that I would like to restore their combat effectiveness in a year or two. The reputation of the First Infantry Regiment in North China was just a false name after this battle." The Chen think tank sighed.

"Oh?" The person's face was heavy, but a slight relief appeared in his drooping eyelids.

"What arrangements does the 9th War Zone have for this incomplete infantry regiment? Even if they no longer have combat effectiveness, they have made contributions in the Battle of Hengyang and have made contributions."

"Commander Xue believes that either they will be placed on Hengshan to supervise the worker, or go back and forth, the Ninth War Zone will have to fight the Japanese army in a decisive battle. The military expenditure is tight and cannot support more than 2,000 disabled soldiers and these engineers, but it cannot disappoint the hearts of the entire army's soldiers. There must be no missing those who should commend military merits."

"Where is the Four-Enterprise Group? Have you ever asked their team members what their opinions?" the man asked after pondering for a moment.

"Currently, Leng Feng, the chief of staff who is in charge of the military affairs of the Four Army Regiment, will give them enough troops and equipment, and it is best to go to the front line of Yunnan Province to fight with the Japanese army again to avenge the dead officers and soldiers! The position of regiment commander is temporarily vacant, and wait for Tang Dao to recover from his injuries." Chen's think tank answered.

"Haha! This Chief of Staff Leng is very smart. He knows that Bai Ling will not use them more. He wants to go to Stilwell's subordinates and use Laura's relationship to obtain advanced American equipment and become a strong army." A hint of sarcasm appeared in the eyes of the man, and his fingers gently tapped Xiaoji's tabletop, and said coldly.

"However, Bai Ling's words were deeply loved by me and would never let the hearts of the soldiers. He told the Ministry of Military Affairs that Tang Dao was promoted to the director of the Hebei Special Office, and under the jurisdiction of the Hebei Southern Police Brigade, the Four Regiment suffered heavy damage and needed rest. All personnel in his troops were promoted to the first-level military rank, and the Army Colonel was added to the rank of major general, and the name was changed to the Independent Regiment of the Hebei Southern Police Brigade, and the personnel were tentatively set to 2,500."

"This..." The Chen think tank was slightly stunned.

What else is more pure than this kind of rise in the open and fall in the dark? Can it convince the public?

"What else do they care about if an infantry regiment has lost their energy? They should be very satisfied to be able to rest in their old base. What do they need to do for the special forces regiment?" The eyes flashed.

"But this is just an order within the military. To the outside world, we should still promote the Four Corps more. The Ministry of Military Affairs in the Second War Zone should give it a special explanation.

To show caution, Yan Ji, please come and ask you to go there again to award me a meritorious army to Hengyang, and to inform the officers and soldiers of the Four Army Regiment, hoping that they will train well on the northern battlefield. I look forward to them making new contributions!"

"Yes," the think tank surnamed Chen lowered his head and agreed.

A special plane passed through the sky under the escort of four fighter planes, carrying medals, bonuses and a military order.
