Chapter 1206: Appeasement Army Assists
Xin Bowen immediately received the order and immediately left the general headquarters with the guards.
Sun Weiguo got the news that Zhao Lerong was injured, which was a big blow to him, Zhao Lerong has been Sun Weiguo's chief of staff for a long time, and Sun Weiguo trusts him very much.
At this time, Sun Weiguo's mood was affected, and he would rather be injured than see Zhao Lerong injured.
"Defend the country." Shen Wei came to Sun Weiguo's side, and she whispered.
"I'm fine, I'm fine, the little devil is prepared, we can't be careless." Sun Wei said firmly in Chinese.
After taking a few deep breaths, Sun Weiguo adjusted his emotions, and he looked at the map again.
With the opening of the gap in Huizhou by the Provisional Ninth Army, the Japanese army abandoned Fogang and Longmen one after another, which was equivalent to destroying part of the Japanese army's peripheral positions.
"Is there any movement of the Japanese troops from Qingyuan to Fogang?" Sun Weiguo continued to ask.
"Commander-in-chief, the Japanese army from Qingyuan to Fogang has begun to shrink, and they have retreated to Qingyuan." Ge Haifeng immediately replied.
"The troops of the 62nd Army all pressed up, the troops of the 152nd Division quickly stationed in Fogang and Qingyuan, and the troops of the 157th Division advanced to its depth. Send a telegram to Yin Jinshan and ask him to quickly clean up the Japanese troops on the periphery of Huizhou, but do not mobilize the troops of the 201st Division, and the troops of the 201st Division should be stationed in Zengcheng in the shortest possible time. It is very likely that the Japanese troops in Fogang and Longmen will return to Dongguan through here. ”
Sun Weiguo stared at the map, and he said with a serious expression on his face.
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief." Ge Haifeng immediately saluted and said.
It was already half past eleven, and the vanguard of the Fifth Armored Regiment had begun to enter Huizhou, but in the city, the tank units encountered anti-tank mines and anti-tank roadblocks.
The commander of the 201st Division, Fang Chaoqun, gave up letting the Fifth Armored Regiment enter Huizhou, and after receiving Sun Weiguo's order, Fang Chaoqun ordered the Armored Infantry Regiment to transfer a battalion into Huizhou to clean up the Japanese troops in the city, while he led the Fifth Armored Regiment and the Armored Infantry Regiment to advance to Zengcheng, and the mechanized infantry regiment of the 103rd Wing of the Japanese Army, as well as the armored artillery regiment units that supported the operation in the rear, also began to march in the direction of Zengcheng.
Zengcheng is located in the east of Guangzhou, north of Dongguan, which is 50 kilometers away from Guangzhou and 26 kilometers away from Dongguan.
At this time, there was only a brigade of the 228th Wing of the 38th Division of the Japanese Army stationed here in Zengcheng, and a division of the puppet army was responsible for garrisoning.
If the troops of the 170th Wing and the 132nd Brigade of the Japanese Brigade want to enter Dongguan, they must pass through Zengcheng, which is a place where China and Japan must fight.
In Guangzhou, the time was almost 12 o'clock in the evening, and the commander of the 21st Army of the Japanese Army, Ando Toshiyoshi, had a very solemn expression on his face after receiving a report from Kizaburo Hamamoto, commander of the 104th Division.
Huizhou was lost, which meant that the entire perimeter defense line set up by Ando Toshikichi was torn open by the Chinese troops, and he had to readjust it immediately.
"The troops of the 35th Brigade of the 18th Division immediately entered the position defense from Qingyuan to Huaxian, and the 229th Wing of the 38th Division entered the defense from Huaxian to Guangzhou. The 104th Division was stationed in Dongguan for defense, and in addition, it immediately arranged for the troops of the Appeasement Army to enter the position to assist the Imperial Army troops in the battle. Director Chen, you must let the troops of the appeasement army fight bravely, and you must not let them be careless. ”
After Toshikichi Ando stared at the map for a while, he immediately gave the order.
At present, the puppet director of the Guangzhou appeasement is Chen Yaozu, who also manages the 20th, 30th, 43rd, 44th, and 45th divisions of the appeasement army in Guangdong.
The 20th Division and other units had more than 3,000 men in each division, and the five divisions had a total of more than 18,000 troops.
For example, more than 3,000 people of the 20th Division were stationed in Zengcheng to assist the first brigade of the 228th Wing of the Japanese army.
"Please rest assured, Commander Anteng, that all units of the Appeasement Army are ready, and we will definitely assist the Imperial Army in garrisoning." Chen Yaozu said with a flattering face.
"Mixi." A playful smile appeared on the corner of Ando's mouth, and he came to Chen Yaozu and gently patted Chen Yaozu on the shoulder a few times.
At 12:05 a.m. on 15 November, most of the 103rd Wing of the 107th Brigade of the Japanese army outside Huizhou had begun to be encircled and annihilated.
At this time, the 170th Wing of the Japanese Army, which was originally ordered to reinforce, was rapidly marching towards Dongguan.
At 12:35 a.m., the Japanese 170th Wing encountered the vanguard of the Fifth Panzer Regiment in Changning Town, and more than a dozen No. 4 tanks began to attack the 170th Wing.
The two sides fought until 1:40 a.m., and as the main force of the Fifth Armored Regiment and the troops of the Armored Infantry Regiment began to arrive, the Japanese 170th Wing had to start defending on the spot and gave up the plan to go to Dongguan.
However, as the 201st Division began to attack the 170th Wing, the 132nd Brigade of the Japanese Army, which had withdrawn from Fogang and Longmen, quickly began to move into Dongguan.
The battle lasted until 3 o'clock in the morning, when the 103rd Wing and 170th Wing of the 107th Brigade of the Japanese Army began to be surrounded by the troops of the Ninth Army.
At this time, here in Wuhe Town, Quang Ninh, the troops of the Honorary Fourth Regiment of the Honorary Third Division of the New Seventh Army began to assemble, and the deputy division commander Zheng Guan Zilin still personally commanded the operation.
The Honorable 4th Regiment strengthened the Honorable 5th Regiment, two weapons support companies of the Honorable 6th Regiment, two infantry artillery batteries, and they were to launch an assault on the town of Wuhe.
Wuhe Town was defended by the 113th Wing of the 111th Brigade of the 106th Division of the Japanese Army, which had fought with Sun Weiguo's troops and had been hit to a certain extent.
The Japanese base camp considered that the troops of the 106th Division had been attacked one after another and that their combat effectiveness was not strong, so they had originally planned to transfer the 106th Division back to China for disbandment and revoke its number.
However, with the 21st Army troops in an emergency, Ando Toshikichi needed troops, so the base camp transferred the 106th Division to fight here.
Ando Toshikichi took into account the combat effectiveness of the 106th Division, he built the door frames of the bunkers and bunkers, and when it was time to fight, these door frames would be locked, and the devil soldiers inside had no possibility of escape except for fighting desperately, and Ando Toshiyoshi also set up a special gendarmerie unit to supervise the battle, once a unit evacuated without authorization, the gendarmerie would immediately shoot.
The troops of the 106th Division performed well before, they repelled several attacks of the New Seventh Army, and the morale of the little devils began to improve.
