Japanese 6th Division Headquarters,

Division commander Kanda Masane has also brought together the captains of the 13th, 23rd, and 45th Infantry Regiments, the 6th Field Artillery Regiment, and the 2nd Independence Mountain Artillery Regiment.

Called over for an urgent combat meeting.

"On the north bank of the Xinqiang River and in the battle with the Liuyang River, we lost many imperial warriors, but we also successfully stationed outside Changsha City where the Chinese Army was holding firm. This time in the Changsha Battle, we must be like the last time,

Defeat all these Chinese armies and inflict heavy losses on them!"

"If possible, I hope our 6th Division will be the first imperial force to enter Changsha City!"

"So now I've summoned you to hold an emergency combat meeting to discuss how we can break through the Changsha city held by the Chinese army!"

"I want to hear your opinion!"

Looking at the Japanese officers under his command, they were all attentive. After listening to what he said, the division commander Kanda Masane also spoke more energetically and excitedly.

It's a pity that for his excitement and excitement,

The combat opinions of the Japanese officers under him come and go, which is the most conventional combat method of the Japanese troops, air strikes and bombings, artillery bombings, and tanks and chariots clearing the way, pushing all the way until victory.

.

That is to say, most of the time, after relying on the heavy firepower weapons and equipment on one's side to defeat all the opponent's firepower points, they launched a general attack with an overwhelming posture.

However, even though the division commander Kanda Masane, who had long expected that his subordinates would think in this way, still listened to it with great interest, anyway, they now arrived outside Changsha City in a victorious manner.

For him, he had won the second battle of Changsha, so this time he was very ambitious and ambitious to lead his division to achieve success.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander! I have learned from the reconnaissance troops that the Chinese troops currently deployed in defensive positions outside Changsha are not elite troops, and their weapons and equipment are also relatively inferior, so I am the 23rd

The regiment will definitely take the lead in clearing out all the outlying Chinese troops for our division!"

"I am willing to be the vanguard and the first to launch the attack. Please give me the battle order, Division Commander!"

"I will definitely achieve a brilliant victory for our 6th Division!"

When all the Japanese officers were chatting happily with the division commander Kanda Masane, the captain of the Japanese 23rd Regiment Takemura Kenjiro immediately responded.

Moreover, he is still full of confidence. He rushes to the battle first and promises that he will definitely win.

"Yo Xi! Our imperial army needs brave and confident officers like you!"

"I approve your attack, Kanda-kun!"

"Come on, we must capture Changsha City as soon as possible. When our 6th Division becomes the first unit to enter Changsha City, our reputation will spread far and wide, and compared with those

The imperial troops that have achieved good results in the battle south are even more prestigious!"

"So please!"

"Kanda-kun!"

Seeing the first captain who was willing to take risks to fight, the division commander Kanda Masane was in a happy mood and praised him with a bright smile.

"Hai!"

"Don't worry! Your Excellency, Division Commander!"

"The troops under my command will definitely clear out all the peripheral troops outside Changsha City within a few hours!"

"I want these Chinese troops to know how powerful our 6th Division is, and of course how brave my 23rd Regiment is!"

"In my eyes, they are just vulnerable troops!"

"We were able to hit them hard last time, and we can still hit them hard again this time, and even annihilate them all!"

Regarding division commander Kanda Masane's appreciation, the commander of the 23rd Regiment, Takemura Kenjiro, responded even more joyfully.

"Yo Xi! I'm very optimistic about you!"

"Kanda-kun! Go!"

"I'm here waiting for your good news!"

The division commander Kanda Masane was moved by the sudden confident spirit of the 23rd Regiment Captain Takemura Kenjiro, and even more praised him.

At the same time, the more he looked at the captain Kenjiro Takemura, the more he liked him.

And he also has the intention to win over the other party and make him his closest confidant.

"Hai!"

Captain Kentaro Takemura quickly nodded and followed the order.

Then he immediately turned around and left the combat headquarters of the 6th Division, and went to mobilize his troops of the 23rd Regiment to prepare for the attack, intending to quickly occupy all the peripheral positions outside Changsha City in one go.

The first place that the commander of the regiment, Kenjiro Takemura, wanted to attack was the location of the 2nd Regiment of the 3rd Division, the frontline combat unit where the foreign reporters and domestic reporters stayed to cover.

It's just that everyone here doesn't know that the Japanese 23rd Regiment is already attacking them.

So Li Yuan, the leader of the 2nd regiment, was still being interviewed by these foreign reporters and domestic reporters.

And he also entertained them warmly,

Because he also hoped that these reporters could report on the heroic anti-Japanese war of the troops here, so that more people could join the anti-Japanese war.

Of course, we also hope that more people will see the cruel side of war and donate more military supplies to support the anti-Japanese war, as well as mourn those anti-Japanese warriors who sacrificed their lives for the country.

Therefore, the exchanges and interviews between the leader of the second regiment, Li Yuan, these foreign reporters, and domestic reporters were carried out relatively harmoniously.

Moreover, these foreign reporters and domestic reporters also like Li Yuan, the talkative and easy-going leader of the 2nd Regiment.

In their eyes, they felt that Captain Li Yuan was much better than Liu Feiyang's subordinate.

This is the power of contrast,

Without a reference for comparison, there will be no harm.

"Captain Li is such a nice person! He always answered our questions and his personality is very amiable. Compared with the army we just met, he is really different!"

"Tsk! That's of course. I think that unit just now is just some unknown troops. They are not from the same faction as Commander Li. Moreover, they are not like the elite troops under Commander Li who can recruit soldiers.

Good at fighting! Anyway, I think if they see the Japanese troops appearing later, they will probably run away earlier than anyone else!"

"Hahaha! Isn't what you said a little too much? Aren't people talking about what kind of fortifications their troops are building? Why don't you let others hide in your own fortifications and cower without attacking?

An attack by Japanese troops?”

"Then let's make a bet on whether the troops just now will flee as soon as they see the Japanese army coming. I feel like I will win!"

"It's okay to bet, but I feel like we should make a bet on how fast they can escape, rather than whether they escape or not!"

"Tsk! Then don't you also believe that they are cowards and are a motley crew who are afraid of the Japanese?"

.......

.......

After receiving the news about the battle situation on the front line where they wanted the quota, Li Guang, Guo Youcheng, Zhang Xueming and others once again laughed and cursed the combat capabilities and unfriendly attitude of the officers and soldiers under Liu Feiyang's command.

Even some foreign reporters jumped in and started talking about it.

Of course, some young female reporters remained silent, watching them noisily passing the time while you took a rest on the right.

But at this moment,

"Tu tu tu tu——"

"Da da da——"

"Boom boom boom——"

The Japanese tank cannons, artillery of various calibers, and light and heavy machine gun attacks suddenly rang out at the patrols in the frontline position. Then the Japanese cannon fodder also extended their attack on the forward position where the 2nd Regiment was located.

Indiscriminate bombardment was going on.

Although this sudden attack by the Japanese 23rd Regiment did not involve the Japanese bombers' threat of gap bombing, the ground firepower of the Japanese 23rd Regiment was also extremely ferocious and launched a series of violent attacks.

The dense rain of artillery shells and the violent rain of bullets poured continuously onto the forward positions without any gaps.
