"The Great Japanese Empire will eventually become the master of this world. The damn Chinese army, you will definitely pay a thousand times the price in the future!"

After crying for a long time, Uchiyama Hidetaro lowered his head and removed the flagpole, and lit the fire with his own hands with a resentment of resentment.

Soon, the Emperor's Imperial Army Flag turned into ashes in a ball of fire.

Then, Uchiyama Hidetaro inspected the subordinates and staff present with a sad face, silently turned eastward, and then knelt on the ground with a "bang".

All the Japanese officers around Uchiyama Hidetaro also made the same move, kneeling on their knees toward the east, hanging their heads, and holding a special small-ta knife for the cut-off in their hands.

At this moment, Uchiyama Hidetaro and their subordinates and staff were completely desperate and had no fighting spirit. They lowered their heads and gave up treatment.

The extremely desperate Hidetaro Uchiyama made up his mind to kneel far away to Japan like this until the Chinese army broke through the city defense and entered the headquarters, he and his subordinates and staff would end their lives in their respective designated positions by cesarean section.

However, the deaths of Uchiyama Hidetaro and others have not yet officially arrived.

Just at ten o'clock in the morning, the 54th Division, under the strict order of Anan Weiji, launched a fierce attack on the Chinese army responsible for interception.

A large number of Japanese combat aircraft groups also came to cooperate in cooperation with each other, dropping a large number of bombs and poisonous gas bombs.

After a fierce battle, the 54th Division of the Japanese tweeted a hole, and thousands of Japanese soldiers broke through the front line and rushed to the outskirts less than 5 kilometers away from Yichang City.

After hearing the news, Chen Cixiu was so anxious that he was red in his eyes that he personally went to command the 2nd Army and the siege troops to attack the Japanese army.

After a bloody battle, the Sixth War Zone finally blocked the Japanese army and repelled them.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the Japanese defense lines in Yichang City were almost completely destroyed, and only the Dongshan Temple line was left.

The Chinese offensive troops in the other directions entered the city again and launched fierce street battles with the Japanese army again. The offensive troops gradually reached the core position of the Japanese army in Yichang City: the division headquarters in the city center.

However, at this time, the situation changed again.

The 54th Division and the 18th Division successively broke through the interception defense line and rushed to the southern part of Yichang City and the suburbs of the northeast, which were only one step away from Yichang City.

And at this moment, a strong wind suddenly blew in the sky, followed by heavy rain.

In winter in Yichang, Hubei, such storms are very rare. Both sides of the enemy and us were surprised and were very passive by this sudden weather.

But Chen Cixiu, who was determined to take advantage of the weight, did not order the troops to stop attacking. Instead, he ordered the siege troops to strengthen the offensive and suppressed all the reserve teams on the other side of the river to resist.

Braving the storm and rain, the enemy and us fought fiercely in Yichang City, southern Yichang, and on various battlefields in the northeast of Yichang.

Due to the bad weather, the progress of the siege troops suddenly slowed down.

In Yichang City, the bodies on the street were soaked in rain. The rain and coloring mixed into brown blood, which accumulated on the street to form a sea of ​​blood that was two feet deep.

When this blood flows into the Yangtze River, the rolling Yangtze River water is also dyed blood red.

At this moment, Chen Cixiu was standing in the command post by the river on the other side of the river, staring at the rolling blood that kept gushing out of the city, and waiting for the final news extremely anxiously.

"Report to Chief Chen, the 2nd Army suffered heavy casualties and is no longer able to stop the attack of the 54th Division of the Japanese Army."

"Report to Chief Chen, Part 1 of the 20th Brigade of the Japanese Independent Mixed Brigade has broken through the 55th Division's defense line and entered the city."

"Report to Chief Chen, the 121st Division of the Japanese Army is under the impact of the 54th Division of the Japanese Army, our army."

"Report to Chief Chen, the 77th Army..."

However, the good news did not come, but a series of bad news came, which kept stimulating Chen Cixiu's tense nerves.

The Japanese army, whose weapons and equipment were relatively superior and were all red-eyed, were like groups of wild beasts that were fearless and constantly hitting the cage, launching fierce attacks, and breaking through the intercepting positions bit by bit.

The Chinese troops in the Sixth War Zone, which were responsible for blocking and rescuing the Japanese troops, were suffering from casualties and were expanding, and the defense line was already in a situation where air leakage was leaking everywhere and was about to collapse.

"Sir Chen, the commissioner is in urgent need of telegram!"

At this moment, Chen Cixiu received another emergency telegram that he least wanted to see: "Stop the battle against Yichang, and the troops retreat to the original defense zone."

"Is it really a failure like this?"

After reading the telegram, Chen Cixiu suddenly felt dizzy and dared to stand unsteadily.

"Sir Chen, are you okay?"

A staff officer hurried forward to support Chen Cixiu.

"It's okay! It's okay!"

Chen Cixiu waved his hand in a daze.

It was a thunderous, it was raining heavily, and it was not stopping.

Chen Cixiu's eyes were red and he stared at the direction of Yichang. A strong sense of loss and pain surged into his heart, like poisonous snakes biting, devouring his internal organs, making him so uncomfortable that he wanted to draw his gun and commit suicide!

Just one last step away, Yichang City should be broken.

Just a little bit, the 13th Division of the Japanese, covered in blood and sin, should be completely destroyed.

Just a little short of the last time, you can avenge your previous shame and recover this extremely important military center with a strategic position!

However, just because of this little bit of failure, the Yichang Battle could only fail and all the previous efforts were wasted!

In order to restore the battle in Yichang City, the Sixth War Zone can be said to have given all its money, putting all its bets and chips, and paid an extremely heavy price.

In the end, he ended up losing all his money!

How can Chen Cixiu be content with all these things and how can he let go of them?

"God, why are you so blind?"

"Why did you get such a storm at this critical moment?"

"Is this the reason why a good person lives for a long time and has been ruined for thousands of years?"

Chen Cixiu felt a thousand disappointments, ten thousand unwillingness, and one million resentment in his heart at this moment!

But, what can I do?

Before Chen Cixiu became the commander-in-chief of the Sixth War Zone, the Sixth War Zone had undergone two divisions and two abolitions.

The current Sixth War Zone is divided for the third time because the Japanese army captured Yichang and posed a serious military threat to the accompanying capital Chongqing.

Therefore, in order to defend the periphery of Chongqing, the Military Commission of the National Government took the Yangtze River as the center and divided one out of each of the Fifth and Ninth War Zones to rebuild the Sixth War Zone, with the force of 17 infantry divisions and one naval fleet.

Such a heavy army cluster is not to compete with the Japanese for a city and a place, but to protect the capital of Chongqing and guard the gateway of Sichuan.

As the saying goes, "There are people doing business that is beheaded, but no one asks about the business that is losing money."

Therefore, in this situation where the benefits and costs of paying are completely unequal, the National Government does not allow Chen Cixiu to suffer a devastating blow to the Sixth War Zone in order to make a gamble!
