Battle of Changde
The Battle of Changde was a big fight between two groups of people in China during World War II. Think of it like two big teams playing a game, but instead of a ball, they were fighting with guns and bombs.
One team, called the Japanese army, wanted to take over a city called Changde. The other team, called the Chinese army, was already living in Changde and didn't want the Japanese to take over.
Now, the Japanese were very powerful and had lots of soldiers, tanks, and airplanes, while the Chinese didn't have as many resources. But they still fought very hard to protect their city.
The battle lasted for a long time, like a really, really long time. It started in November 1943 and didn't end until December of the same year. During this time, both groups fought fiercely, but the Chinese army was eventually able to push the Japanese back and protect their city.
It was a very important battle because it was one of the first times that the Chinese army had beaten the Japanese in a big fight. It showed that even though the Japanese were very strong, the Chinese were strong too and could fight back.
