During World War II, Japan belonged to a military power, but they took advantage of the fire and robbery against China, and quickly extended their claws to the hinterland of China, and the Japanese army's aggression against China caused the death of most civilians in China, the destruction of many scenic spots and monuments, and the loss of many national treasures overseas.
The Battle of Changsha was a famous battle, all the officers and soldiers who participated in the battle regarded death as a homecoming, and chose to use their lives to protect every inch of China's land, even so, because of the huge disparity in military strength, Changsha was still occupied by the Japanese army, in the face of this grim situation, the main force of the state made a decision to let the large troops withdraw first, in the face of the menacing force of the Japanese army, our army "chose to avoid the long and avoid the short, and left the green mountains without worrying about firewood."
The superior of the unit ordered the commander of the Tenth Army, Fang Xianjue, to lead the troops to hold the hengyang area for seven days, which could buy some time for the other troops to withdraw. Fang Xian felt that he was in danger of being ordered, but he heard the wrong order, at that time the artillery fire was in the sky, deafening, he listened to the 7 days of the superior's order, listened to the 47 days, it did not matter if he heard it wrong, the fatal thing was that he wanted to put it to death and live later, and as a result, the Japanese troops beat up the japanese troops and cried out to their mothers and doubted life.
Fang Xianjue knew that in the face of the enemy's large troops, it was impossible to defend here for 47 days, and the final result was likely to be the total annihilation of his own army, but as a soldier, he had always taken obedience to orders as his duty, and he and the non-commissioned officers of his own troops were determined to treat death as a homecoming, and he decided to negotiate with the Japanese army in Hengyang, no matter what, to buy more time for the large troops to transfer, which was an uphill battle and a protracted battle.
Fang Xianjue's whole army is only more than 18,000 people, and the large force of the Japanese army plus the support of the enemy's mechanized troops, it is reasonable to say that the Japanese army occupies an absolute advantage, but Fang Xianjue did not have this timidity, he chose to face the difficulties and fight with the Japanese army to the death, but he did not fight hard, but had a strategic plan, the Japanese army suffered heavy losses in the game with Fang Xianjue, of which many senior generals were injured, but for the Japanese army, this was not a fatal blow, under the wave of Japanese troops, Fang Xianjue's troops retreated again and again.
Fang Xianjue's troops were on the front line of life and death, he was fighting against the devil, many days down, Fang Xianjue's troops were almost out of ammunition, at this time they still used their lives to resist the Japanese army, did not allow them to cross the position, unless they stepped on the corpse, 47 days passed, more than 18,000 soldiers were left, at this time he understood that without any support, he could not hold on any longer, so he had to do a final decisive battle with the Japanese army, ready to martyr the country, but at this time his aide-de-camp stopped him. The Japanese side also negotiated with Fang Xianjue's troops due to heavy losses.
The Japanese army proposed that as long as Fang Xianjue led his men to abandon resistance, they could treat the prisoners and the people kindly, looking at the helpless eyes of countless people and brothers, and finally he chose to surrender. Later, because of the surrender, he was criticized by thousands of people, but everything had advantages and disadvantages, which may be called defeat, after all, he fought against the 120,000 Japanese army with 18,000 troops, and exchanged his reputation for the precious lives of the people and soldiers.
