"I'm afraid Deshan can't do it, the two divisions of our army are already a little tired, and the completion rate of tank armor is only 70, and I am not sure in the face of more than 40,000 Japanese troops," Cui Zhijun knocked on the map on the engine cover of the jeep.
Song Yuhang also frowned and stared at the map, as if he was afraid that he would run away with long legs in the blink of an eye "How far is our tank regiment from Yuanjiang and how far is it from Deshan" Song Yuhang's inquiry made the confidential secretary beside him hurriedly open the record and said: "The 1st Tank Regiment and the 2nd Armored Infantry Regiment of the 1st Mechanized Division are 5 days ahead of the large army, and now they have arrived along the Yuanjiang River, and our main force is still 240 kilometers away from the Yuanjiang River and 360 kilometers away from Deshan. ” "Yuanjiang" Song Yuhang pressed his hand on the map "The troops are leaving, we will talk in the car" Song Yuhang turned around and got into the jeep.
Cui Zhijun was stunned for a moment, followed and got into the car and continued: "Where is the 3rd Division of the Japanese Army, even if the 3rd Division of the Japanese Army is defeated, we don't have the equipment to cross the river."
Song Yuhang did not respond to Cui Zhijun's inquiry, but said to himself: "The 3rd Division is one of the six standing divisions of the Japanese army, and the division commander Yamamoto Sano is more suitable for being a musician than a military profession, and Yokoyama will give us a siege to send reinforcements, so what are we polite to him, give him a black tiger to dig out his heart, wrap him with dumplings for the 3rd Division, if he dares to move the 57th Division, I will let the 3rd Division be a funeral."
Song Yuhang's vicious expression made Cui Zhijun fight a cold war.
In the early morning of 24 May, he drove to the 1st Tank Regiment personally led by Chang Tianfang, commander of the 1st Mechanized Division, and Song Yuhang did not wait for the follow-up main force to assemble, and immediately ordered the 1st Tank Regiment to cover the 2nd Armored Infantry Regiment and immediately launch an attack on the headquarters of the 3rd Division of the Japanese Army on the south bank of the Yuan River.
Song Yuhang's attack can be described as very reluctant and hasty, but he can no longer wait for the follow-up troops to unfold, because the 57th Division in Changde City has reached the point of exhaustion, and he has defended the city alone for the second time, so he knows Yu Chengwan's urgent mood very well at this moment.
Last night.
Song Yuhang received a telegram from the rear.
The 57th Division stubbornly resisted the enemy.
Now there are less than 500 divisions.
Stick to the first line defense of Wenchang Temple.
Waiting for reinforcements.
Early morning.
The Sino-US joint air force dispatched 57 planes from Hengyang Airport to support and deliver supplies to Changde.
When required to indicate ground targets.
Yu Chengwan told him to bomb and strafe arbitrarily 500 meters away from the central bank.
The life of the Changde defenders hangs by a thread.
Song Yuhang was forced to throw the 1st Tank Regiment, which had been rushed to the ground in advance, into battle.
Although the 1st Tank Regiment went through a night of rest.
But from Guiyang it was a long march of nearly 700 kilometers.
Reduced the tank integrity rate to the edge of the danger line of 50.
If it weren't for the division commander Chang Tianfang, multi-party coordination.
Careful planning.
Whether the 1st Tank Regiment will be able to reach it is difficult to say.
Song Yuhang also knew that this attack was too reluctant.
It was so reluctant that it made his heart beat a little And on the Japanese side.
Japanese intelligence has been tracking a new Iron Rider who suddenly appeared.
Although the Japanese army had already received information that the First Mechanized Army stationed in Kunming was going to Changde.
Japanese generals, including Isamu Yokoyama, dismissed Chongqing's move to dispatch the First Mechanized Army as a joke.
Or the smoke is more appropriate, including the Japanese intelligence agencies do not believe that any Chongqing army can carry out a thousand-mile maneuver in just three days, and Song Yuhang's previous feints confused the efficient Japanese intelligence agencies.
But the integrated command organ of the Japanese army's intelligence.
Or dutifully pay attention to all the movements of the 1st Mechanized Army on the Chongqing side Battles always took place at the most unexpected time, and the main force of the Japanese 3rd Division's ground infantry had already begun to cross the Yuan River, and those left on the south bank included its divisional headquarters, field hospitals, logistics baggage wings, cavalry wings, artillery wings, and a tank brigade temporarily assigned to the 3rd Division.
For the Japanese army, Changde no longer has any suspense, the 3rd Division left on the south bank of the Yuan River can be described as extremely lax, the arrogant 3rd Division only sent a small number of alert troops to the two wings, and in the rear flank of the 3rd Division, there are not even a few sentries, and the Japanese army in the large division is still immersed in sleep, but it is a pity that the Japanese will have a nightmare Song Yuhang put down the binoculars, and the hasty and reluctant attack met the unprepared defense, and at this moment, Song Yuhang knew that his adventure had been successful By the time the loud roar of the tank's engine reached the Japanese garrison, most of the Japanese soldiers had not yet gotten up.
One of the lieutenants even scolded the chariot troops Turning the corner, when the 1st Tank Regiment of the diamond-shaped formation began to spread out in formation, several Japanese sentries rubbed their red eyes, as if they could not believe what they were seeing The commander of the No. 009 pilot car of the first tank regiment was in a hurry, and the turret was struck horizontally, and the two parallel machine guns beat several Japanese sentries to the ground, completing the task of firing warning for the Japanese sentry.
More than 70 tanks covered more than 50 armored vehicles and smashed into the garrison of the 3rd Division of the Japanese Army like an iron stream, and the iron flow was unstoppable for a while.
Since the Battle of Changde, Isamu Yokoyama has been personally commanding the 3rd Division, but he has cooled Yamamoto Sano, the legitimate division commander, to the side First the roar of the chariot, then the sound of machine gun fire, and then the driving of the chariot brought about an earthquake-like feeling, which scared Mitsuo Yamamoto, who grew up in the earthquake city of Nagoya, into a cold sweat.
"Be sure to sanction these lawless bastards" Mitsuo Yamamoto had just arrived at the door of the tent in his coat.
He was stunned by what he saw.
Hundreds of meters away, the chariots swollen up dust that covered the sky and the sun, and the garrison was full of soldiers running wildly.
"Enemy Attack, Enemy Attack" Mitsuo Yamamoto grabbed a combat staff officer beside him.
Before he could speak, the first salvo of the 1st Tank Regiment began, and one of the grenades exploded near the tent of Mitsuo Yamamoto, and the lieutenant general's suit that Mitsuo Yamamoto draped over his shoulders flew high into the sky The Japanese troops besieging Changde were all attracted by the unexpected situation on the south bank of the Yuan River, they did not know what was going on with the 3rd Division, and the fierce artillery fire and intensive machine-gun fire made the Japanese troops attacking Changde uneasy.
In just 20 minutes, the 1st Tank Regiment scuttled through the garrison of the 3rd Division of the Japanese Army, and then turned the head of the vehicle to continue to clear the remaining Japanese troops.
Under the crushing, artillery fire, and strafing of tanks, the Japanese officers and soldiers who woke up from their dreams were strewn with corpses, and almost every tank had flesh and stumps mixed with its tracks.
To Song Yuhang's surprise, during the whole process, the tank brigade assigned to the 3rd Division of the Japanese Army did not react at all, and the tanks were neatly arranged as if they were being reviewed, and they were destroyed by name How did Song Yuhang know that the tents that the first tank regiment crushed at the beginning belonged to the tank brigade, and the Japanese tankers had already become meat cakes under the tracks.

The 3rd Division fought in China for many years.
The elite of that year has long ceased to exist, and its main fighting force has entered the city of Changde, and most of the troops left on the south bank are intransmissible reinforcements and third-rate baggage troops, especially after being stabbed in the buttocks, the panicked Japanese army cannot form effective resistance at all.
This was a massacre without suspense, the disheveled Japanese soldiers fell in a row in the rain of bullets, Song Yuhang never dreamed that his tank unit had entered the Japanese camp within a few roads, and the other party did not even have any preparations At the time of the assault on artillery positions.
The tank units met with slight resistance, and after clearing the Japanese resistance, the infantry units that cooperated with the operation began to clear the battlefield.
More than 1,000 wounded in the Japanese field hospital were directly discharged as prisoners.
The supplies of the logistics and baggage wing of the Japanese 3rd Division had not yet been transported across the river and directly became the trophies of Song Yu's voyage, and it was already an hour after Yokoyama learned that the remaining troops of the 3rd Division on the south bank of the Yuan River had been wiped out by a squadron that suddenly appeared When Isamu Yokoyama learned that this squadron had come out of nowhere and was equipped with a large number of vehicles, he threw himself in front of the map and muttered repeatedly, "This is impossible, this is impossible" After confirming that the opponent was Song Yuhang's First Mechanized Army, Yokoyama Yong gasped, and the movements of the First Mechanized Army were also very fast, and a few days ago, he also received a secret report from the dispatched army in Kunming, saying that the main force of the First Mechanized Army stationed in Kunming was still there "Is it all an illusion?"
Although the Japanese army defeated many armies, including the two ace armies of Chongqing, they also besieged the military stronghold of Changde in Xiangxi.
The situation can be described as very good, but even so, the always cautious Yokoyama became suspicious, after all, his 11th Army divisions were concentrated near Changde, and what made him uneasy was that the huge Chongqing Army seemed to be assembling on his periphery.
If the units of the 11th Army are glued to the vicinity of Changde, let the squadrons on the outer line form an encirclement momentum, in order to stick to the 11th Army, it is necessary to have bait, and the 57th Division on the Chongqing side is the bait, and the only mechanized troops in China that are now rushing to the ground are likely to be even more bait Isamu Yokoyama remembers a proverb in his hometown, "Good bait makes for big fish" Isamu Yokoyama after speaking out his doubts.
All the senior officers present were suddenly drowned in a chatter The chief of staff of the 11th Army of the Japanese Army, Nobumasa Nakano, pressed his finger on the map and said in a sullen voice: "The First Mechanized Army on the Chongqing side can be said to be the most well-equipped unit in the squadron, and its weaponry and firepower far exceed that of any division in the empire.
Yokoyama nodded and said, "I'm afraid what Nakano-kun said is also my ideal, and the First Mechanized Army in Chongqing is probably the poisonous bait."
The 109th Infantry Wing of the 1st Division, the wing commander Bu Shangdazuo fiercely waved his saber and shouted: "We must not let go of the Chinese people, no matter what he is the first or second, are we still afraid of the cowardly Chinese people?"
"Yaga Bastard" Isamu Yokoyama, who has always been mild-tempered, suddenly burst out and pointed his finger at the cloth Teruichi and reprimanded: "The weapons and equipment of the reckless squadron are backward.
The will to fight is weak.
However, their numbers are huge, and it is very convenient for them to replenish the local battles, so please don't forget the lessons of the third Changsha operation."
A breeze blew.
The smell of gunpowder smoke floated in the air Yokoyama glanced at the south bank of the Yuan River and said: "The purpose of this Changde battle is to cooperate with the Burmese Front to attack India, and to contain the main force of the squadron so that it cannot pose a threat to Burma."
Yokoyama Yong saw that several officials had awkward expressions, and added with a cold snort: "This is not only the meaning of sending troops, but also the decision of the base camp and the imperial council."
Just when Isamu Yokoyama was hesitating, intelligence staff officer Matsumoto sent a secret telegram from Chongqing that had just been intercepted, which was sent by the Military Commission to the First Mechanized Army, which contained detailed operational instructions to the division, and what surprised Isamu Yokoyama was that the establishment of the First Mechanized Army in Chongqing was so huge, and this behemoth equipped with American-style weapons had caused the imperial army to suffer a crushing defeat on several occasions.
As for whether he could eat this behemoth that attacked like thunderbolt and lightning and defended like a rock, Yokoyama found that he lacked the courage to fight on the south bank of the Yuan River really shocked him, in just one hour, the 6,000-strong Japanese Imperial Army was able to escape except for a very small number of people, including the division commander Lieutenant General Yamamoto Mitsuo and other adjutants, almost all of them were shattered, and what made people panic was that the 3rd Division did not even have a decent resistance, it was simply a one-sided massacre.
The information transmitted by the dispatched army further shook Yokoyama's determination, and the intelligence said that the 100th Army and the 58th Army, which had been hovering in the direction of Hengyang and Yiyang, suddenly accelerated their speed and made a detour to the periphery of Changde.
The Chinese have an old saying, "If you see good, you will accept it" Isamu Yokoyama took off the monocular lens that was stuck in his right eye, dropped an inexplicable sentence and a group of confused subordinates, and turned to leave.
Chief of Staff Nobumasa Nakano understood what Yokoyama meant, the actual purpose of the Changde Campaign was to contain the squadron's maneuver to the Burmese side and solve the worries for the Burmese Front to attack India, and if it could occupy Changde and then threaten Chongqing, it would naturally be better, otherwise, the 11th Army would have successfully completed the campaign objectives set by the dispatch side by annihilating the two ace armies of the Chongqing Army, defeating nearly 10 divisions that had suffered heavy losses on the Chongqing side, and transferring the First Mechanized Army that it was trying to use on the Burmese side.
It doesn't really matter whether you occupy Changde or not.
The headquarters of the 57th Division in Changde City has been compressed into the Central Bank building, and more than 20,000 Japanese troops have entered the city.
Division Commander Yu Chengwan dictated the telegram at the most intense moment of the battle last night, and ordered the confidential staff officer to immediately shoot it: The limit is coming.
Enshi's grandson: Mi.
Today, I learned that the prison aid is still far away, and the staff has now run out of ammunition, no one, and the city is broken.
The deputy division commander acted as the chief of staff, the infantry commander, the division deputy, the director of the political department, the chief of staff, etc., and firmly adhered to the central bank.
The regimental commanders divided the area, held one room, made the last resistance, swore to the death, and congratulated the victory.
Long live the Chairman of the 74th Army, long live the Republic of China, long live the Chinese nation, and long live the rest of the post.
Stamp.
Changde Yu Chengwan's mood was relieved when the telegram with the meaning of the last telegram was issued "Fuck it, I can't care so much" Yu Chengwan carefully wiped the pistol and even every bullet, he was picking out the bullet that belonged to him.
