While the struggle around Changsha occupied one half of the battlefield, another contest of equal consequence was taking shape farther west at Yichang.
The two operations were not separate stories.
They belonged to the same campaign, and each influenced the fate of the other.
If Changsha was the city whose danger was plain to every observer, Yichang was the stronghold whose importance weighed most heavily on the calculations of the commanders.
In the autumn of 1941, the outcome in one place could not be understood without the outcome of the other.
For Chen Chang, Yichang was more than a military objective.
It was a wound that had never really closed.
The city stood on the Yangtze at a point of major strategic value, tied not only to communications and transportation, but also to the defense of the river approach towards the wartime capital.
When Yichang had fallen in June of 1940, it had done more than alter the front lines.
It had left behind quite a humiliation.
Three Japanese divisions, the 3rd, 13th, and 39th, had seized the city after 12 days and nights of intense fighting.
