Eighty-three years ago today, on January 2, 1942 (November 16, 1941), the Chinese army defeated the Japanese in the Third Battle of Changsha. The Chinese army attacked and advanced in the city of Changsha. On January 2, 1942, the Japanese army launched an attack on Changsha. The Ninth Theater District ordered the Tenth Army to defend Changsha, and the rest of the departments targeted Changsha and carried out "heart-seeking offensives" from the south, east and north to encircle and wipe out the Japanese army. From the 2nd to the 4th, the Tenth Army blocked the onslaught of the two Japanese divisions, killing and wounding the Japanese army in large numbers at a heavy cost of casualties, creating conditions for the main force to encircle and wipe out the Japanese army. On the 4th, the Chinese army counterattacked across the board, and the Japanese army retreated to the north. The Ninth Theater District changed its plan to encircle and wipe out the Japanese army in Changsha to chase and kill the Japanese army in separate ways. Due to the shortage of Japanese troops and ammunition, and the Chinese army's full preparation and high morale, the Japanese army's northern withdrawal was very difficult, and it was spent almost every day in fierce battles, with heavy casualties. On the 15th, after more than 10 days of hard work, relying on the assistance of the air force, the Japanese army broke through the siege and withdrew to the Xinwuhe position in embarrassment. The third battle of Changsha ended. In this battle, the Japanese army suffered 50,000 casualties, including 10 officers above the captain and the joint captain, and suffered a disastrous defeat.
