Hengyang
23 Jun–8 Aug 1944 — In Ichigo’s path, 17,000 men of the Tenth Army hold a rail city against 100,000 for 47 days — the longest defense of the war. It falls; the corridor is cut through; and the political shock in Chungking and Washington outlasts the campaign.
This is one scene of Chapter 9 — Stalemate — Two Chinas at War in China in Revolution, 1911–1949.
