I really came here to fight against Japan

The commander of the Ninth War Zone said goodbye to Song Wenwan in tears, then took Commander Qian, Commander Sun and others to the temporary capital.

Go to attend the press conference held by the Temporary Capital's Secretariat, and then there will be a grand celebration party.

First, the commander-in-chief of the Ninth War Zone came to the stage and talked about the various responses of the National Army in the Battle of Northern Hunan.

"The Japanese army on the island of Wa is a thousand-year-old cancer of the world, and their intention to destroy China is undying.

On December 25th of last year, they brazenly launched a brutal attack on the anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians in northern Hunan.

Our anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians in northern Hunan responded with the determination to fight to the death, fortifying our defenses and luring the enemy out of their holes.

First, they set up an ambush on the south bank of the Yougang River and strangled an infantry battalion and an artillery battalion of the 40th Division.

The booby trap also killed the commander of the Japanese 1st Regiment who came to inspect the battlefield.

As well as the wing commander's escort squadron, and a search team.

The entire battle process took less than half an hour. Thank you. There should be applause here."

Celebrities from all walks of life, military personnel, and international friends sitting below gave him warm applause.

Especially the military observation group from the United States, they did not expect that the senior generals of the National Army could be so humorous.

My impression of them has changed a lot.

A few more containers were added for equipment donated to the Chinese Expeditionary Force.

The commander-in-chief of the Ninth War Zone was very satisfied with the reactions from his subordinates.

I thought that Commander Song from Gansu was really a smart guy.

He had a firm grasp of the psychology of people from all walks of life in the audience.

As expected of a man who fights with his brain, the article that Brother Song wrote for me is very sharp.

As the commander of the Ninth War Zone spoke, a magnificent and moving war scene unfolded before the audience.

“It is undeniable that the military strength of Japanese imperialism is still very terrifying.

We launched a series of blocking operations in the areas of Laodao River, Yougang River and Liuyang River.

At the cost of sacrificing tens of thousands of soldiers, we managed to lure the 80,000 troops of the 11th Japanese Army to the pre-set battlefield."

This is all true. All the troops in the Ninth War Zone are luring the enemy deep into our territory.

But we couldn't let the Japanese go too fast, there was no way to avoid these losses.

If it weren't for the people from the Jiangnan Militia Division, who provided them with a large amount of guns and ammunition.

With the addition of artillery fire and tactical support, the loss will be doubled.

"On January 5, the 3rd Division of the Japanese island launched its first attack on the outer positions of Changsha.

On the same day, our Ninth War Zone had already sent powerful troops to the south bank of the Laodao River.

They directly cut off the Japanese army's supply lines, which was equivalent to cutting off the Japanese army's retreat.

Completely unaware of this, the Japanese 3rd Division launched a fierce attack on the outer positions under the city of Changsha.

The Third Division spent a whole day without making any progress.

Later, they launched a night attack that night, but unfortunately it was already discovered by our defenders.

Not only were they repelled by the troops of the 73rd Army, but they also suffered heavy casualties and lost an entire battalion of soldiers.

The next day, the Japanese 6th Division also arrived at the city of Changsha. They joined together, but still failed to attack.

That very night, the Japanese army realized that their retreat had been cut off and decided to break out overnight.

The soldiers of our 73rd Army fought hard and finally caught up with the Japanese army on the morning of the next day.

With the cooperation of the Artillery Brigade of the 9th War Zone, the fleeing 6th Division was completely wiped out in the area from Linxiang Mountain to Liuyang River.

And they captured the commander of the 6th Division, Lieutenant General Inaya Hisaya alive."

Having said this, Inaya Hisahi stood up and bowed reluctantly according to the prior arrangement.

He told the audience that he was the troublemaker who was captured alive, Lieutenant General and Division Commander Hisahi Inaya.

At this time, a reporter from Britain suddenly stood up and asked the commander of the war zone a question.

"Dear Commander, I am Dean Smith, a reporter from The Times.

I have to interrupt you to ask you a question. "

Commander of the Ninth War Zone: Isn’t it said that foreign journalists all abide by the rules?

Why did you start asking me questions without waiting for me to finish my speech?

"What does Mr. Smith want to ask? I can answer you immediately.

We just need to be faster so as not to delay the dinner of the gentlemen and ladies behind you."

The implication is... others should stop asking questions, otherwise it would be ungentlemanly.

"General, the question I want to ask is that your Chinese army has always been on the defensive.

How can we wipe out a Japanese division with only one army? This is unreasonable."

The commander of the Ninth War Zone asked coldly, "What do you mean?"

As he spoke, the murderous aura of a theater commander had already burst out.

Smith from the Times raised his chin high, looking extremely ugly in his arrogance.

"I don't understand your record. How could you possibly defeat the Japanese when the Chinese and Japanese troops are equal in numbers?"

There was a loud bang, and the area around reporter Smith became chaotic.

Commander of the Ninth Theater: Who do you, a foreigner, look down on? I have a saying about business, but I don’t know whether I should say it or not.

“When the number of people on both sides is equal, the amount of weapons and ammunition, and the pre-ambush.

If you add narrow terrain to the mix, it can determine the fate of a unit."

Smith: “Only the soldiers of Her Majesty the Queen of the British Empire can achieve such a feat as you described.

It's not that I don't believe in your record, it's that you Chinese are not good enough!"

At this moment, the press conference hall suddenly became eerily quiet.

The commander of the Ninth War Zone suddenly remembered a joke that Song Wenwan had once told him.

The commander of the theater said word by word: “When it comes to fighting, we are naturally no match for your British army.

For example, the Battle of Dunkirk and the air battles over Great Britain all showed the glory of your British army. "

The great evacuation of Dunkirk, and the air battle between the British Isles and Germany.

In the eyes of the British, these two achievements are remarkable victories and symbols of their indomitable spirit.

But secretly, I knew that the Dunkirk evacuation was, to put it bluntly, a retreat in which we lost.

As for the battle over the British Isles, it was clearly an air battle between the two countries, but to put it bluntly, it was just passive bombing.

The commander of the Ninth War Zone's words were so "flattering" that the reporter named Smith was immediately off guard.

"I protest, this is an insult to the British Empire..."

"Damn it, you people from the British Isles are too sensitive.

You are allowed to insult this ancient nation, but you cannot listen to others praising you?"

This is Captain James from the American Military Observer Corps speaking.

He had a younger brother, James Jr., who was stationed at Pearl Harbor at the time.

According to a telegram from his brother, they were defeated miserably.

Fortunately, there was a man named Mike Du from an ancient Eastern country who saved them like a hero.

So this time, when he came to China with the observation group, he was full of curiosity and goodwill towards the people of this country.

He saw the difficult lives of the people in the temporary capital, and also saw the youthful vigor of the young officers of the Sichuan Army.
