Chapter 1217: The Navy Wants Reinforcements
"Commander-in-chief, has Huizhou been taken down, it's a pity that I haven't been able to continue to fight with the troops, our 201st Division has disappointed you this time, and even Huizhou has not been able to take it. The little devils are too cunning, if they don't set up anti-tank trenches, we will definitely be able to take Huizhou. ”
A captain of the 201st Division looked at Sun Weiguo, and he said with a bit of self-reproach on his face.
"Huizhou has been taken, don't blame yourself, the 201st Division troops did not disappoint me, you fought very well, I will reward you after this battle." Now you have to recuperate from your injuries with peace of mind, and only when your injuries are healed can you continue to return to the battlefield to fight, and don't think too much about the rest. ”
Sun Weiguo came to the captain, and he said with a smile on his face.
When the captain heard Sun Weiguo's words, he nodded heavily.
"Commander-in-chief, where is our Honorary Third Division advancing now, I told them, our Honorary Third Division must be a unit to recover Guangzhou, Commander-in-Chief, can you give us the task of attacking Guangzhou to our Honorary Third Division, although I can't return to the army, but I hope that our division is the first unit to attack Guangzhou."
A wounded man whose right leg had been sawed off looked at Chen Feng, and an expectant expression appeared on his face.
"The troops of the Honorary Third Division have advanced to Sihui, which is not far from Guangzhou, as long as Huaxian is taken, our troops will directly launch a fierce attack on Guangzhou, please rest assured, when the troops recover Guangzhou, I will definitely take you to Guangzhou to have a look."
Sun Weiguo came to the wounded man again, and he said with a firm expression on his face.
The wounded are constantly asking about the situation of their troops, and even though they are wounded now, they are still concerned about the frontline fighting.
Sun Weiguo answered them one by one, and made a series of promises, for these wounded, Sun Weiguo would definitely not abandon them.
After talking with the wounded for more than an hour, Sun Weiguo came to Zhao Lerong, the chief of staff, in a separate room.
At present, Zhao Lerong is still under treatment, he is very weak, even if Sun Weiguo came here, the doctors advised Sun Weiguo not to disturb Zhao Lerong.
Glancing inside from the outside of the ward, looking at Zhao Lerong lying on the bed, Sun Weiguo's brows furrowed tightly.
"Commander-in-chief, Chief of Staff Zhao doesn't have any major matters for the time being, as long as he cultivates for a while, it's best not to disturb him during this time, so as not to affect his recovery."
The doctor stood beside Sun Weiguo, and he whispered.
Sun Weiguo nodded, and he explained: "You must take care of the chief of staff, and you must ensure that he can recover." ”
"Yes, please rest assured that the chief of staff will definitely ensure the health of the chief of staff." The doctor immediately replied.
Looking at Zhao Lerong in the ward again, Sun Weiguo left here, and he was going to see Liu Qian.
Coming to the office of the director of the field hospital, Sun Weiguo walked in gently, and Liu Qian had fallen asleep leaning back in the chair.
After Sun Weiguo came here, he didn't alarm Liu Qian, he knew that Liu Qian must be very tired, so he would sleep like this.
Staring at Liu Qian carefully for a while, Sun Weiguo showed a smile on his face, he did not alarm Liu Qian, but left the field hospital directly, he wanted to immediately rush to Huaxian, Sun Weiguo wanted to personally command the siege of Huaxian, as long as Huaxian was taken, the Japanese army Guangzhou would be directly exposed to the guns of the Chinese troops.
At this time in Guangzhou, in the headquarters of the 21st Army, the expression on the face of Lieutenant General Toshiyoshi Ando began to become solemn, and when the 123rd Wing of the 136th Brigade of the 106th Brigade and the 229th Wing of the 38th Division sent a message asking for help, Ando Toshiyoshi realized that these two wings must not be able to be saved.
He immediately began to get in touch with the commander of the 18th Division, and he ordered the 18th Division's lieutenant general, Chang Nachengyi, to shrink back the 23rd Brigade stationed in Qingyuan, and at the same time he ordered the 106th Division of the Japanese Army stationed in Zhaoqing and other units to quickly assemble in Guangzhou.
Realizing that the Sihui could not be recaptured again, Toshiyoshi Ando decided to start building strong fortifications centered on Guangzhou.
In the area north of Guangzhou, Ando Toshiyoshi decided to take Huaxian as a base, he stationed the main force of the 18th Division here to be responsible for the garrison, in the area east of Guangzhou, Ando Toshiyoshi decided to take Dongguan as a base, he attached the 104th Division and the 132nd Brigade to the 45th Division and the 43rd Division of the puppet army, stationed here to be responsible for the garrison, and in the area west of Guangzhou, Ando Toshiyoshi decided to take Foshan as a base, he attached the troops directly under the 106th Division and the 136th Brigade to the 20th Division and the 30th Division of the puppet army. The garrison is stationed here to be in charge of the garrison.
In the three strongholds on the periphery of Guangzhou, Ando Toshiyoshi deployed three divisions and four divisions of the puppet army, but the 104th Brigade of the 104th Division of the Japanese Army was completely annihilated, and the 111th Brigade of the 106th Division was completely annihilated, so these two divisions were reinforced by more than 6,000 people from two divisions of the puppet army.
In Guangzhou, where the headquarters of the 21st Army was located, Ando Toshiyoshi transferred troops directly under the army, the cavalry of each division and the search unit formed a mobile force, the guards mixed brigade, and the troops of the 38th Division were responsible for the garrison.
After making a series of deployments, Ando Toshikichi stood in front of the map, his face had a very solemn expression, so far, the Japanese army has an independent mountain artillery wing, and more than 15,000 people in two infantry brigades were eaten by Sun Weiguo's troops, for such combat attrition, Ando Toshikichi is a little difficult to accept.
"Your Excellency Commander, the 4th Special Marine Corps, the 8th Special Marine Corps, the 11th Defense Brigade, and the 19th Defense Brigade have begun to cover the landing with destroyers, and they are currently rapidly advancing towards Guangzhou.
At this time, the chief of staff of the 21st Army of the Japanese Army came to the commander Toshiyoshi Ando, and he saluted Toshiyoshi Ando.
"With the First Air Force in the war, our situation will become much more favorable. Immediately transfer the marines and defense units to Canton, and at the same time order the 38th Division and the Guards to be mixed into brigades and regiments to strengthen the fortifications of various positions, and even if the Chinese troops come to Canton, we will fight them here in a decisive battle. ”
Toshiyoshi Ando immediately gave the order and said.
"Hi, Your Excellency, Division Commander." The Chief of Staff of the Major General immediately began to salute and said.
At this time, the Japanese troops who received the order, they began to mobilize rapidly, and the troops of the 23rd Brigade defending in Qingyuan quickly began to blow up the main position and quickly evacuated to Huaxian.
At the same time, the troops of the 106th Division also began to withdraw to Foshan as planned.
