Chapter 1211 - How to Fight Four Meetings
Before the Japanese army landed in Guangxi, they took a series of covert measures, but the Chinese troops were still aware of it. Burn? Wen Xiao? What is the reason for saying ?.? r?a?n?? e?n?`org
The chairman of the committee once judged that the Japanese army was very likely to land in this area of Qinzhou Bay, and also sent a telegram to Bai Chongxi, asking him to properly strengthen the defense here.
However, Bai Chongxi judged that even if the Japanese army landed in Guangxi, it would only be possible to land here in Guangzhou Bay, so he deployed all the main forces of the only troops in Guangxi in the area of Guangzhou Bay.
With the landing of the Japanese army in Qinzhou Bay, this was a surprise to the Chinese troops, because at present, the small number of main forces of Chinese troops in Guangxi are gathered here in Guangzhou Bay.
The Chinese troops left behind in Qinzhou Bay are just newly formed units, and their combat effectiveness is not strong, but only a few thousand people, and in the face of the Japanese Fifth Division, they are naturally impossible to deal with, not to mention that the Fifth Division has also strengthened a mixed brigade stationed in Tun, and they also have the Navy's Second Dispatch China Fleet and the Third Combined Air Force to assist in the battle.
The Guangxi operation was very unsmooth, so under such circumstances, the chairman planned to dispatch troops of the 47 th Group Army fighting in Guangdong to rush to the aid of the Guangxi battlefield.
However, at present, the 47th Group Army has made some progress in the operation in Guangdong, and the chairman of the committee cannot make a direct judgment in his heart for a while, so he called Xu Yongchang and He Yingqin to his side.
"Chairman of the Committee, at present, the Japanese army in Guangdong has obviously suffered heavy losses under the attack of the 47th Group Army under the command of General Sun Weiguo, and at present, the 10th Wing of the Japanese Independent Mountain Artillery and the 107th Infantry Brigade have all been annihilated, and the Japanese troops have begun to retreat in Guangzhou for passive defense, and I think it will not be long before Guangzhou will be recovered. It is very unwise to transfer the 47th Group Army out of Guangdong at present, and I suggest that not only should the 47th Group Army not be able to be transferred out of Guangdong, but the 47th Group Army should also be strengthened in Guangdong and directly recover Guangzhou. ”
After Xu Yongchang heard the chairman's inquiry, he saw that He Yingqin had not expressed his position for a long time, and he immediately expressed his attitude and said.
As the head of the Military Command Department, Xu Yongchang is always paying attention to the front-line operations, and Xu Yongchang is even more aware of the situation at any time for the Guangdong operation.
According to Xu Yongchang's estimate, in less than a month, Sun Weiguo's 47th Group Army will be able to completely annihilate the Japanese army in Guangdong and recover Guangzhou and other important cities.
It is obviously inappropriate to transfer Sun Weiguo's 47th Group Army away now, and Xu Yongchang does not want to see the chairman of the committee make a mediocre deployment.
"Chairman, what Minister Xu said is reasonable, and once the Japanese army in Guangzhou is devastated, the Japanese troops will definitely come to the rescue. In my opinion, the Japanese army in Guangxi may not win, as long as the attack power of Sun Weiguo's 47th Group Army is strengthened and the pressure is put on the Japanese army in Guangdong, then the Japanese army in Guangxi will definitely come to the rescue. He Yingqin also said immediately.
After hearing the opinions of He Yingqin and Xu Yongchang, the chairman of the committee looked at the map with a contemplative expression on his face.
"Ci Chen, where have the troops of the 47th Group Army advanced to now?" The chairman looked at Xu Yongchang and said.
If the chairman of the committee asked about the situation of the troops in other theaters, Xu Yongchang might not be able to keep it in mind, but he has been paying close attention to the operations of Sun Weiguo's troops in the past few days, and Xu Yongchang is very clear about the chairman's inquiry, and he immediately pointed to Zengcheng, Wuhe Town, and other areas on the map to make a report.
"Chairman of the Committee, the Japanese troops have been suppressed in the area of Guangzhou, and if it weren't for the Japanese army's superiority in the aviation department, maybe Sun Weiguo's 47th Group Army would have been stationed in Guangzhou by now. However, the combat effectiveness of the 12th Group Army and other units is not strong, and it is probably unrealistic to rely solely on the New Seventh Army and the Temporary Ninth Army to achieve results in a short period of time. Chairman of the CPPCC National Committee, I propose that the Central Army troops be transferred to Guangdong, and in this case, it will be of many benefits to us. ”
After He Yingqin listened to Xu Yongchang's report, he quickly began to make a report.
The chairman of the NPC Standing Committee naturally understood what He Yingqin meant: Guangdong has always been the territory of the Guangdong army, and now the central army is indeed beneficial to the chairman.
After staring at the map for a while, the chairman of the committee began to issue an order, saying: "Immediately transfer the troops of the 54th Army directly under the Ninth Theater, order the 54th Army to be assigned to the 47th Group Army, and immediately go to Guangdong to accept the command of Commander-in-Chief Sun Weiguo." At the same time, he sent a telegram to Commander-in-Chief Sun Weiguo, ordering him to recover Guangzhou in the shortest possible time and annihilate the Japanese troops in Guangdong. ”
"Yes, Chairman." He Yingqin immediately agreed.
At 10 o'clock in the morning of 14 November, the chairman's order began to be conveyed to the troops of the 54th Army, and then Chen Lie, commander of the 54th Army, commanded the 14th Division, and the 18th Division quickly entered Guangdong to fight.
At this time, on the outskirts of Guangzhou, here in Sihui, the so-called 44th Division of the Appeasement Army and the troops of the 111th Brigade of the 106th Division of the Japanese Army have begun to be stationed in Sihui.
Because Ando Toshikichi had already prepared to use defensive warfare to contain Sun Weiguo's troops, Sihui had established a perfect defense system here.
The puppet army units and the troops of the 111th Brigade quickly began to be stationed in various positions, and the 111th Brigade Major General Brigade and Brigade Commander Nagato Hohito deployed the 147th Wing of the 111th Brigade in Sihui, while the two brigades of the 44th Division and the 113th Wing of the Appeasement Army were deployed on the peripheral positions.
Sihui is the focus of the Japanese army's defense, because once Sihui is lost, it will have a huge impact on the Japanese army, and the little devil will not dare to lose Sihui.
The Japanese army focused on defending Sihui, and Sun Weiguo focused on attacking Sihui, and he transferred the Honorary Third Division of the New Seventh Army and two divisions of the Honorary Seventh Division to attack Sihui.
But it's a pity that these two divisions are one step later than the little devils, and by the time they came here, the Japanese puppet army had already begun to enter the fortifications.
Qin Xianliang, the commander of the Honorary Third Division, is an old qualification, and now he is commanding the Honorary Third Division and the Honorary Seventh Division to attack the Sihui.
After coming to Sihui, Qin Xianliang immediately organized a reconnaissance company under the division to reconnoiter the Japanese position, and at the same time he invited Chen Zhengwei, the honorary commander of the seventh division, to his division headquarters.
How to attack Sihui, Qin Xianliang wanted to discuss with Chen Zhengwei.
There is a natural barrier on the Suijiang River to the west of Sihui, and between Qingyuan in the northeast, there is a 18th Brigade and 23rd Brigade and a regiment stationed there.
The Japanese army shrank the main force in Sihui City, but on the periphery, they still deployed a division of the puppet army and two brigades of the Japanese army, totaling more than 5,000 people.
However, as the commander of the Japanese 21st Army, Toshiyoshi Ando, began to withdraw the troops directly under the army, the artillery support of the Japanese puppet army was significantly weakened.
After Qin Xianliang called Chen Zhengwei to his division, he and Chen Zhengwei stared at the map, and then Qin Xianliang said his thoughts.
"Our troops have an advantage in numbers, Division Commander Chen, after all, your Honor Seventh Division is a newly formed unit, so I am ready to deploy you on the west bank of the Suijiang River to attract the attention of the Japanese army on the east bank, and our Honor Third Division will cross the map north of the Suijiang River and directly launch a flank attack on Sihui, we will first eat the Japanese troops deployed in Suijiang, and then attack the Japanese troops in Sihui."
