The Japanese 3rd Air Regiment in Hong Kong committed itself heavily to the defense, flying sorties after sorties over Yichang.
Aircraft came so often that some made four round trips a single day.
On the morning of the 8th, a unit of the Chinese 94th Army, crossed by boat from the west bank, bypassed the Gaizhouba area and landed at the northern end of Wangcaoba.
Advancing south along the embankment, it established positions on the Yangtze side, only about half a kilometer from the city.
This foothold effectively dominated Japanese positions west of Yichang.
Mortar rounds crossed the water.
Heavy and light machine guns pinned the defenders outside of the walls.
At the same time, the 9th Division of the 32nd Army and part of the 99th Army pressed inward as well.
The ring was tightening.
October the 9th was grave for both sides.
The Japanese withdrawal from northern Hunan had by now produced a relief force.
Anami assembled elite troops from several divisions into a rapid deployment column for Yichang.
For the Chinese Six War Zone, however, victory seemed very near.
Inside the city, the Japanese situation was increasingly desperate.
Casualties were severe.
The field hospital yard was filled with groaning wounded.
Uchiyama summoned support personnel, medics, cooks, ordnance repairmen, and any wounded men still capable of firing.
He armed them all and formed an improvised reserve.
Then, while this force was assembling, he had heard the sound of a trumpet.
One of the band members, still practicing as if the battle was not reaching its climax, reminded him that more than 20 members of the 11th Army Band were also soldiers in uniform.
