17,000 soldiers stubbornly defended the city, and fought fiercely with several japanese troops for more than 40 days, killing and wounding 50,000 Japanese troops
Speaking of the history of the War of Resistance Against Japan, I think many friends hate this history to the teeth. The Japanese army invaded china's territory and committed numerous crimes in China, which is really the indignation of people and gods! At the time of the greatest danger in China, countless famous anti-Japanese generals also emerged in China. Under their leadership, we defeated the Japanese invaders again and again and defended the dignity of the motherland.
And what we want to talk about today is also a general who dared to fight a hard battle. In the contest with the Japanese Kou, this man repeatedly won the victory with less, and again and again led his subordinates to worship Japan. This man is good at fighting with few enemies and more enemies, and he is very good at fighting. His most famous battle was his performance in the Battle of Hengyang. Fierce battle with several times the enemy for more than 40 days, the Japanese army killed and wounded more than 50,000 people!
Fang Xianjue is a native of Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province, and a famous anti-Japanese general in China. After the outbreak of the Pacific War, the Japanese army was gradually defeated, at this time, in order to break the passive situation, the Japanese Kou concentrated heavy troops, invaded Changsha again, and launched the 4th Battle of Changsha. This time, the Japanese army concentrated nearly 500,000 troops and saved a large number of strategic weapons, which can be described as menacing.
After the outbreak of this war, the Japanese army relied on advanced weapons and equipment to quickly capture Zhengzhou and Luoyang, and then the spearhead pointed directly at Changsha! Changsha, a heroic ancient city, defeated the powerful Japanese army three times. At this time, General Xue Yue was sitting here. General Xue Yue continued his Heavenly Furnace Tactics. What people did not expect was that Xue Yue's 4th Army, due to Zhang Deneng's command mistakes, led to the loss of the highlands outside Changsha, and at the critical moment, Zhang Deneng led his troops to escape. This caused the Japanese artillery fire to attack changsha from a commanding height. This time, Changsha City was no longer lucky, and it was breached on the 4th day.
After the Japanese captured changsha city, the vanguard force quickly killed Hengyang. And this force has more than 50,000 people. At that time, hengyang's defender was General Fang Xianjue, and there were only 17,000 soldiers around him. At that time, the order given to him by his superiors was to hold Hengyang for 7 days. However, General Fang Xianjue misheard it and heard 7 days as "47 days"! Therefore, he fought a battle against the water and ordered his troops to hold Hengyang. At that time, it was the 11th Army of the Japanese Army that entered the palace of Hengyang, a total of more than 50,000 people, and Yokoyama Yong ordered hengyang to be taken in 3 days.
However, Yokoyama did not seem to anticipate how stubbornly the Chinese army would resist. Faced with repeated charges and attacks by the Japanese army. In the case of the huge disparity in the strength of the enemy and ourselves, the soldiers defending the city insisted on holding out for more than 40 days, and not a single soldier surrendered! The frenzied attack of the Japanese army was exchanged for huge casualties. More than 50,000 Japanese casualties were killed and wounded, which was very rare in the history of the Sino-Japanese War. Later, after the battle, the Japanese army admired the Chinese army in Hengyang, and there was no difficulty for the prisoners, perhaps the Japanese people have a worship for the strong in their bones!
