Two Chinese Light Tank Divisions stage sneak attack behind Japanese lines. 4 conscript Japanese infantry divisions were caught off guard just beyond the outskirts of Hangkow. All were masacred in their sleep and the 4 artillery divisions they were guarding were slaughtered as they ran away in confusion. Both Tank divisions limped back to base and were promoted to the elite home guard in honour of their brilliant victory. Chinese forces gathered up the abandoned artillery and moved them into the city through a backroad which the Japanese siege forces had left unguarded. When the Japanese awoke in the morning, they were pounded with their own artillery. Chinese defenders celebrated in joy as they looked down from the city wall on the bloodied wounded Japanese who lay strewn all over the battlefield.
Their joy was short, however, as Mao's communist forces used the opportunity to stage their own sneak attack from within the city blowing up the entire Kuomintang leadership in their command bunker. The remaining outnumbered and badly battered Chinese forces were convinced to join with the communist guerillas and the new People's Defense Committee conscripted all men and women to help defend the city. Mao dimantled the banks and other capitalistic infrastructure in the name of the People and used the resources to further the revolution. In honour of his good friend and benefactor, the city was renamed Stalingrad. Mao pledges that no matter what the technical or numerical advantage of the imperialistic force laying siege, Stalingrad will not fall! I think he means it.
