"Very good, the sad soldiers will win!"

When he was confronted by his subordinates, Xue Boling was not at all unhappy. Instead, he smiled and clapped his palms to show his reward, and then nodded to Li Yutang and said, "Captain Li, this matter is negotiable!"

"Yes! We will re-discuss arrangements after we go down!"

Li Yutang naturally understood Xue Boling's eyes and nodded immediately.

Xue Boling nodded and said, "Okay, I won't interfere with the specific defense deployment of the 10th Army. Time is tight. You should start preparing immediately. We don't have much time left!"

"Yes! Chief Xue, then we will say goodbye!"

Li Yutang quickly nodded and left.

After returning to the military headquarters, Li Yutang and the deputy commander and chief of staff repeatedly studied it, and finally decided that Zhou Qingxiang's division of the 3rd Division defended the eastern suburbs of Changsha, Zhu Yue's division of the 190th Division defended the northern suburbs of Changsha, Fang Xianjue's division of the 10th Division defended the southern suburbs of Changsha, and Kong Hepang's division defended the area of ​​the Yangtze River Chengxiang, and also served as a reserve team.

Immediately afterwards, Li Yutang held a meeting of officers above the platoon leader of the army. He personally served as the executive officer and directed and dispatched the gathering of all officers.

At first, the officers were puzzled and didn't understand why the commander did this.

Since the end of the Second Changsha Campaign, superiors accused the 10th Army of ineffective combat and the commander was punished. The officers and soldiers of the 10th Army all had a feeling of inducing but not venting.

They all felt unwilling to accept it and wanted to fight hard to save the lost honors in the future.

After completing the assembly, the officers found that the commander had not left and was still holding a conference. Everyone suddenly became excited because they had already felt that something big was about to happen.

Seeing all the officers staring at him silently and staring at him with a look of expectation and desire, Li Yutang was also very excited at this moment and couldn't speak for a long time.

After a while, Li Yutang gradually calmed down and began to preach loudly in a loud and slightly trembling Shandong accent:

"Brothers, I, Li Yutang, are incompetent. Let you suffer such a great humiliation as I suffer, and the honor of our heroic 10th Army is infringed upon. I am sorry for the brothers who escorted our military flag with their lives and blood."

Li Yutang was admitted to the first class of the Whampoa Military Academy in 1924. After graduation, he was promoted to platoon commander, company commander, battalion commander, regiment commander, brigade commander, division commander, after graduation. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Li Yutang was appointed as the commander of the Eighth Army of the Kuomintang Army and stationed in Jiangxi.

In 1939, Li Yutang led his troops to block the Japanese army at Coffin Mountain near Wuning, defending his position to the death, and the entire army made military achievements. The Kuomintang Anti-Japanese War Headquarters awarded Li Yutang's title of "Taishan Army".

Soon, the unit was changed to the 10th Army, and Li was still the commander and was ordered to station in Changsha.

Retracting his thoughts, Li Yutang said strongly: "Brothers! The soldiers are on the battlefield, and all honors and shames are on the battlefield.

Now Chief Xue has no choice but to leave the most difficult and glorious task to our army, defending Changsha.

This is our trust and high hopes for us, and it is also the best opportunity for our army to avenge our previous shame.

Brothers, we can only repay Chief Xue’s great kindness with the lives of all the soldiers, and only with blood and life to wash away the shame that the Japanese invaders had loaded on us!”

"We will face an unprecedented powerful Japanese combat cluster in this battle, mainly the Japanese Kanto Field Army. The ultimate goal of their attack is to destroy our China!"

"But, brothers, we will also be stronger than ever. The Chairman not only transferred back from the Myanmar War Zone, but also had an extremely powerful Tiger Army of 100,000 people, and was rushing to participate in the battle night and night!"

"Brothers, this Battle of Changsha is no longer just a simple battle of revenge. This victory and defeat are not only related to the honor and disgrace of our 10th Army, but also to the life and death of the Chinese nation.

Therefore, whether we repay Chief Xue’s great kindness, wash away the shame on us, regain the glory of the Taishan Army, or fight for the life and death of the Chinese nation, we have no reason to retreat or be afraid!

There is only one way before us, that is, fight to the death to the end, fight to the end, even if the battle is the last soldier!"

After a passionate story, Li Yutang conveyed Xue Boling's orders to all the officers in full.

"Brothers, the military throne treats us well. The honor of our Taishan Army is because of the military throne. We must welcome the military throne back with outstanding results!"

"Yes, I want the military throne to come back!"

"Shan Tai can move, but the Taishan Army cannot be shaken!"

"I want a military throne back! I want a military throne back!"

"Down with Japan and return my country!"

"I would rather be a dead ghost than a slave to a devastated country!"

Li Yutang's passionate words achieved his expected results, and the entire venue immediately became boiling, and cheers were heard one after another.

Li Yutang's eyes suddenly became wet, and he immediately turned his body and saluted the officers around him in a solemn manner.

Fang Xianjue hurriedly followed the army to salute, and secretly made up his mind.

After such a meeting of all officers, the officers and soldiers of the 10th Army unified the morale of the army, and they used the tactics of fighting on the back to the forthcoming fierce battles.

In fact, to be precise, all the troops in the entire 9th War Zone are now a mourning soldier.

A few months ago, the Second Changsha Battle was exposed as a great victory by publicity tools, but in fact, all the officers and soldiers in the 9th War Zone knew extremely well that this was an extremely tragic battle of shame.

The murder and punishment at the Nanyue Conference, as well as the subsequent series of profound reviews, are still lingering in the minds of every officer and soldier in the 9th War Zone and cannot be dispersed at all.

Now he is facing the 11th Japanese Army, which has been several times stronger again. Xue Boling places the 10th Army, the most sad, the only one among the tragic soldiers, the only one who was removed from the army commander and a division commander, in the most difficult, most dangerous place in this battle, and the greatest sacrifice.

Li Yutang followed the Japanese army's first direction of attacking the city, the south of the city, to the 10th Division, which fought the worst in the last war.

In the following days, the soldiers of the 10th Army began to prepare carefully to defend the city.

The 10th Army officers and soldiers were building fortifications everywhere in the streets and alleys of Changsha. The guns were neatly mounted together, and bullet bags, military tops and kettles were piled next to the guns.

In the bitter cold wind of winter, the officers and soldiers dug up the road, built large stones and tied steel bars, poured cement, and other newly built fortifications appeared in Changsha City one after another.
