Chongqing, the official residence of the chairman.

Although the chairman of the committee quickly dispatched various units to fight in Guangxi, the chairman was very clear that he wanted to stop the Japanese troops from fighting in Guangxi, and these troops might not be able to complete their tasks.

At present, what can make the chairman of the NPC Standing Committee trust the most and can save the entire war situation in Guangxi, except for Sun Weiguo's 47th Group Army, other troops are simply unable to do it.

"Chairman of the National People's Committee, Commander-in-Chief Sun Weiguo of the 47th Group Army sent a telegram that at present, Commander-in-Chief Sun Weiguo has commanded various units to approach the periphery of Guangzhou, and the Japanese army is using Huaxian, Dongguan, and Foshan as bases to resist stubbornly, and has also dispatched a large number of aviation units to assist in the war. Commander-in-Chief Sun Weiguo wants to be able to send the Air Force to assist in the operation, what is your opinion? ”

He Yingqin, director of the Military Affairs Department and concurrently chief of staff, came to the chairman, saluted the chairman, and said with a solemn expression.

Sun Weiguo's command of the Chinese troops in Guangdong has successively recovered many cities and towns, and now it is approaching Guangzhou, the seat of the Japanese army headquarters in Guangdong, which is good news for the chairman of the National Committee.

It's just that Sun Weiguo wants to mobilize the air force, which makes the chairman very difficult, China currently has no ability to produce aircraft, and the original small number of planes was shot down by the Japanese army, and it is very difficult to replenish them again, and now the entire Chinese air force is only more than 100 planes.

As far as the current chairman of the NPC Standing Committee is concerned, the Guangxi operation is obviously more important than the Guangdong operation, because after all, once the Japanese army captures Guangxi, it will have an impact on the entire southwestern rear.

As early as when he dispatched various units to Guangxi to participate in the war, the chairman of the CPPCC National Committee had already made a decision, that is, in order to be able to keep Guangxi this time, he would dispatch air force units, and he would also dispatch all air force units to fight in Guangxi, and he absolutely would not allow Guangxi to fall into the hands of the Japanese army.

According to the information obtained from various quarters, the Japanese army has invested a large number of aviation units in Guangdong, and they have nearly 200 aircraft.

The chairman of the committee stared at Guangxi on the map, the expression on his face gradually became solemn, and his eyes were full of deep worry.

Guangxi cannot be lost, and the chairman of the committee knows this very well, so he does not want to let the few remaining air force units lose all in Guangdong.

"Chairman of the National Committee, Commander-in-Chief Sun Weiguo has sent a series of telegrams requesting the Air Force to dispatch to assist in the operation. Now that they have reached the periphery of Guangzhou, if we put in the air force to support the operation in Guangdong, Sun Weiguo is likely to recover Guangzhou. Chairman of the NPC Standing Committee, if we can recover Guangzhou, this will be the first time that we can recover a province and a provincial capital from the Japanese army, and it will have a tremendous impact on the morale of the army and the people. ”

He Yingqin understood the chairman's thoughts, and he knew that the chairman did not plan to invest the air force in Guangdong, but He Yingqin also understood that as long as the air force was put into operation in Guangdong, even if it was just to contain the Japanese air force, Sun Weiguo would be able to recover Guangzhou.

Once Sun Weiguo recovers Guangzhou, it will have a great impact on the entire Chinese war situation.

"Respectfully, if the Air Force is completely lost in Guangdong, what will we do in the future. Guangxi needs air force support there, have you thought about it, there are still tens of thousands of Japanese troops in Guangzhou, and all the departments in Guangdong have already suffered losses, they may not be able to take Guangzhou, and we can't risk the air force. ”

The chairman looked at He Yingqin, and he said with a serious expression.

"Chairman, how should we call back from Sun Weiguo's side?" He Yingqin looked at the chairman and asked.

"You decide." The chairman waved his hand and said.

He Yingqin nodded, he saluted the chairman, and then left the chairman's residence quickly.

Sihui, the former enemy headquarters of the Fourth Theater of Operations.

Sun Weiguo kept in touch with the commanders fighting on the front lines to ask them about the progress they had made.

But so far, the progress of the armies has not been very smooth, because the Japanese aviation units are constantly dispatched to carry out air raids, and the losses in the divisions are very large.

"Almost all the troops of the Ninth Army have hit the Japanese positions, but after the Japanese aviation appeared, the follow-up troops could not keep up, and the little devils attacked with meat bullets, and we lost five tanks, and the troops had to withdraw. Commander-in-chief, this is not going to work, and without the assistance of the Air Force, it will be difficult for us to make progress. ”

Gao Shen Ge Haifeng came to Sun Weiguo, and he reported to Sun Weiguo with a solemn expression.

"Is there a call back from the Military Commission, I have already sent several messages in a row, even if they don't agree, they should at least call me back."

Sun Weiguo stared at the map, and he said with a bit of complaint in his tone.

"Commander-in-chief, the Military Commission has not called back for the time being, but judging from the current situation, they should also be thinking about it. After all, the number of our air force units is limited, and sending them out to fight must be carefully thought about. Ge Haifeng said softly.

Sun Weiguo's brows furrowed tightly, he looked at the map, the battle here in Huaxian County has lasted for three or four hours, but the troops of the Ninth Army and the 54th Army still have not made much progress, if it drags on like this, morale will definitely be affected.

"Commander-in-chief, the Military Commission calls back." At this time, Yang Tiezhu, the commander of the communications battalion, came to Sun Weiguo.

When Sun Weiguo heard that it was the Military Commission that called back, he immediately came to Yang Tiezhu and directly took the telegram.

After taking the message and looking at it, after seeing the content of the message, Sun Weiguo put the message on the table, and the expression on his face was not very good.

"Ordered all units to temporarily stop the attack on Foshan, Huaxian, and Dongguan, and the main force to rest in concealment, and send small units to carry out a tentative attack to reconnoiter the Japanese position. In addition, immediately contact Huang Yongsheng, the commander of the Dragon Force, and ask him to come to meet me immediately. Sun Weiguo gave an order and said.

The Military Commission did not agree to send the air force to help in the war, and they hoped that Sun Weiguo would carry forward his spirit and recover Guangzhou.

Without the assistance of the air force, Sun Weiguo did not want his troops to be used as a target for the little devil air force, so he immediately stopped the attacks of various units.

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief." Ge Haifeng immediately saluted and said.

Without the air force to support the operation, in the face of the powerful air force of the Japanese army, Sun Weiguo could only choose to stop the attacks of various units and wait for the opportunity.

And at this time in Guangzhou, in the headquarters of the 21st Army.

Lieutenant General Commander Toshikichi Ando looked at the map with a pair of red eyes, and a smile appeared on his face when he learned that the three strongholds of Foshan, Dongguan, and Huaxian had never been conquered.

"Your Excellency Commander, you have already contacted the commander of the 11th Army, Kazuichiro Sonobe, and you can talk directly to His Excellency Kazuichiro Sonobe now."

The Chief of Staff of the Major General began to come to Toshiyoshi Ando, and he saluted Toshiyoshi Ando.
