The senior operational staff officer of the 11th Army, Shimaguan Daisa, faithfully recorded the fierce battle of 23T7, the main force of the 58th Division, the 68th Division, the 116th Division and the 3rd Regiment were engaged in the siege battle.
However, the will of the defenders was very resolute, after the squadron in the city contracted its defense, the Chinese soldiers wearing two different uniforms were fighting side by side, and the 68th Division advanced 200 meters in the fierce battle all night, and the 116th Division advanced 400, and the 58th Regiment, which attacked the most rapidly, was not close at hand, and even the 3rd Regiment Mizumori Wing, which coordinated the attack, even lost its own attack position At five o'clock in the morning of the 4th, the exhausted Japanese attack units decided to carry out another assault, the heavy artillery of the Chinese army in the city has long been out of shells, only a small number of field artillery and mortars are active near the city defense, the silence of dawn has become a storm of steel intersection, because the Japanese field artillery units can carry out close shooting, the first hit rate is very high, often two or three artillery can hit the defenders' fortifications perforation, for a time the Chinese defenders on the position of the smoke and dust, wood chips flying, the scene is extremely spectacular and tragic.
Immediately, the Japanese infantry shouted like a tide and swarmed in, and it was undoubtedly the voice of every Japanese officer and soldier to end this protracted siege nightmare with a ferocious attack at the dawn approach.
The main attack of the Japanese army was concentrated on the front line of Chuanshan in the north of the city, where the two battalions of the 6th Brigade of the 3rd Light Division of the 1st Mechanized Army were stationed, a total of more than 2 people, the Japanese army in order to attack the Chinese soldiers cut the mountain to build the earthen city, especially the 2nd and 34th teams under the jurisdiction of the 1st Brigade in the front were carrying bamboo ladders for climbing, and they were not close to the edge of the Tucheng, the captain of the 1st Brigade of the Japanese Army, Captain Gao Tie, and the captain of the 4th team, Mii Gaopo, were shot and killed, in order to cover the attacking troops, Individual squadrons of the 3rd Artillery Wing, which was responsible for covering, even advanced within the rifle fire of the Chinese defenders. "2nd Team Cover, 3rd and 4th Team Assault" Deputy Captain Koyama had just given the order when he was hit in the face by a stray bullet and died in great pain.
The 3rd and 4th squadrons of the Japanese army quickly set up ladders, and at this moment, Wang Tao, the commander of the 1st Battalion of the defenders, who had been prepared for a long time, raised his arms and exhaled, and dense grenades fell like raindrops.
The Japanese troops of the two squadrons were immediately surrounded by the white smoke from the explosion, and the 3rd and 4th squadrons disappeared from the sight of Captain Takano, and Takano's heart seemed to be stabbed by something, and at this moment he could only hold the amulet and pray silently for those subordinates.
After a while, the explosion stopped, the white smoke gradually dispersed, and all the officers and men of the 3rd team on the left flank and the 4th team on the right flank lay motionless on the ground, all killed.
Takano gasped and immediately ordered to stop the attack, he couldn't bear to follow his subordinates for a long time to sacrifice meaninglessly, using the lives of his subordinates to consume Chinese grenades This is only something that idiots will do, where does Takano Konjiro know that the Chinese defenders covered with luxurious grenades this time, almost exhausted their last inventory, in order to give the Japanese army a great shock, obviously Wang Tao succeeded.
If Takano was weeping tears and was overwhelmed with grief, then the 116th Division's 133rd Se Wing, 120th Kodama Wing, and 218th Needleya Itshiro's 218th Team can only be described as dying and struggling.
Heiichi Kuro, Tadao Kodama, and Yoshiro Needleya are all on Okamura's promotion list.
But the newly issued military uniforms and the rank of major general did not make them feel half happy at all.
On the opposite position, the officers and men of the 3rd place of the Chinese defenders seemed to be dying at dawn.
Three wings threw in the last force.
Even the ground combat staff officers of the wing headquarters picked up their rifles and joined the front-line attack sequence.
Just when victory was in sight.
The Green Goblins in pale green khaki uniforms appeared The "Green Devils" used bayonets to break up the last efforts of the attacking troops. 133120218 wings had already lost a lot of blood.
The most miserable thing is that the 133 team is now less than 200 people.
Three wings of ground combatants come together.
It can't even be put together with a full-fledged brigade.
They knew that life was not easy for the squadron on the other side.
Because the "Green Devil", who is known for his firepower, actually uses hand-to-hand white-knuckle combat.
It shows that they are also barely holding on.
Of the three co-captains, Kurotaira looked the most depressed.
All three of his captains had been killed in the battle last night.
Now he could only appoint the only two remaining ensigns as captains.
For more than two hundred remnants.
Positions such as group commander and squadron leader seem to have lost their meaning.
The officers and men in the surviving areas were very indifferent to everything around them.
Like a bunch of living dead.
Tadao Kodama helplessly patted Kurotei on the shoulder.
The troops have fought to the point of collapse.
But according to the order, there is still a fight.
"I'm afraid we'll have to fight to the point of self-destruction" A long sigh.
Of the three, he has the most seniority in other places.
Facing that still towers 37 cities.
Itiro Needleya could only cry and curse in his heart: "What the hell is this fighting, in such a situation, you still have to maintain the attack and put pressure on the opponent, do you have to die cleanly?"
After a long sigh, Heiheiichi, Tadao Kodama and Yoshiro Needleya all took off their brand-new generals' uniforms, carefully folded them and put them into their inner clothes bags, and then the three of them knelt on the ground, kowtowing to the east, and the officers and soldiers under them also gathered together in groups of three or five in groups, all shouting the names of their hometowns or the names of a mountain or a river in their hometowns, which is a unique method of entrusting the aftermath of Japanese soldiers, hoping that after they die, their souls can remember the names of those mountains or rivers.
So that the souls of the dead can return home.
It was a desperate charge, and the survivors gathered here at this moment were all survivors under the bayonets of the Chinese soldiers before this, they had not been able to win in the white-knuckle battle before, and no Japanese officer or soldier would believe that they could win this time, all they had to do was die.
In the face of death, even the imperial generals who claimed to be armed with the spirit of bushido, Yamato, were full of ugliness, and strong people such as Heiichi Kuro, Tadao Kodamama, and Itiro Needleya slowly prepared their katanas with expressionless faces, and they fell into a nervous breakdown because they were about to attack the positions of the Chinese defenders, their eyes were straight, and their mouths were muttering words that no one could understand.
The most is to shed tears and look for a stone and sharpen the bayonet silently, fighting for their own courage to fight this job, the surviving Japanese officers and soldiers can already feel what the commanders have to do, they want to become glorious samurai, live in the incense admiration of future generations.
As ordinary Japanese soldiers, they can only play the role of victims, they can only add tragedy and excitement to those loyal commanders, they know that in the end they are nothing more than a long list of killed Finally, Heiichi Kuroeichi and Tadao Kodama exchanged glances, and Isaya Yoshiro also sighed slightly, and then stood up, and the last moment came At the last moment before Kurohiri was ready to launch what he called the "tragic battle to the death", the division commander Iwanaga Wang personally arrived at the front line, and after learning about the actual situation, Iwanaga Wang stopped the actions of Kuropei and others, and he calmly said to Kurohira: "20 minutes ago, Major General Shima Genyoshi of the 57th Brigade of the 68th Regiment was ambushed by snipers of the Shina Army when he came to the front line to command, and died heroically together with the combat staff officer Asada Nakasa and the staff secretary Captain Takano."
Kuropeiichi, Kodama Tadao, Isaya Itiro and the other three were extremely surprised, the news of this kind of death was numb to them, Iwanaga Wang glanced at the only remaining so-called combat power of his division and sighed: "Stop this senseless attack, your loyalty and bravery are obvious to all, and it is too worthless to sacrifice like this."
Heiichi Kurose and the three of them exchanged glances with each other, and the words of the head of the Iwanaga Wang Division undoubtedly made them very glorious after turning around the god of death and then coming back, and the three of them almost at the same time were very out of shape and relaxed their nerves greatly relieved, and everything before seemed to be in a trance as if they were in a trance.
The fall of Shima Genkichi, who was only promoted to major general at the end of 43, made Kurohira and the other three very uncomfortable, but the death of Shima Genyoshi made Kuropeiichi, Kodama Tadao, and Hayaya, who were promoted to major general but had no position, see hope, and there seemed to be only one position, but there were as many as three candidates The city of Hengyang was already in ruins, and the 10th Army on the Chongqing side had been killed and wounded, but the imperial team just couldn't attack it Ichiro Needleya looked into the distance and said to himself: "Your Excellency Yokoyama Yong has harmed us, he never believed that there were troops of the First Mechanized Army in Hengyang City, and he insisted on going his own way, and now it is these green devils who are standing in front of us."

Tadao Kodama smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I'm afraid there are no less than 10,000 troops of the First Mechanized Army in the city, chariots, heavy artillery, and the mysterious artillery that attacked the 68th Division like a hail falling from the sky that day."
Isaya Yilang nodded and continued: "Its main force is in Shaoyang, with the mobility of their main mechanized troops, they will be able to attack Hengyang City in one day, and the First Mechanized Army of China will sit back and watch itself be surrounded and annihilated by our army, once the First Mechanized Army of China breaks through our army's blocking system and arrives at Hengyang City, then our army will be completely passive, and all the efforts we have made before will be in vain, and Changsha will also be exposed to the enemy, can't those damn guys in the base camp see it?"
"I believe that His Excellency Isamu Yokoyama has also been used to get his wish, he is now a general" A headless sentence made Tadao Kodama and Itiro Needleya stunned:
