Chapter 52 Dealing with the problem of reconnaissance at the front

"This ...... I'm afraid not! ”

In response to Wang Changgui's rhetorical question, platoon commander Chen Jilong was stunned for a moment, and then he was silent for a long time before he replied confidently.

"I think so too, so if we want to continue to stay in the area of Guangzhou to resist Japan and kill the enemy, I'm afraid we can only engage in guerrilla warfare with the Japanese army! Otherwise, we will only be able to follow the large army and evacuate to eastern Guangdong and other places! ”

Wang Changgui also sighed softly.

Because he knew very well that after the fall of Zengcheng, Conghua and Guangzhou, the large forces of the Cantonese army would retreat and defend to the eastern part of Guangdong.

At the same time, the Fourth Theater was also formally established at the suggestion of Chongqing, which means that from that day on, the military deployment of Liangguang will change to the 12th Group Army led by Yu Xmou stationed in northern Guangdong, and the strength of the army has also been reduced from five armies to three armies, that is, from almost 100,000 troops to only tens of thousands of troops.

The troops stationed in Guangxi and southern Guangdong were the 16th Group Army under the command of Commander Xia Wei, the Ninth Army under the command of Wu Qiwei was stationed in eastern Guangdong, and the 35th Group Army under Li Hansoul and Deng Longguang was stationed in western Guangdong.

That is to say, after the reorganization of the four theaters, Yu Xmou was no longer solely responsible for the anti-Japanese situation in Guangdong, but changed into four military regions in the southeast, northwest and northwest to resist Japan.

Moreover, the Twelfth Group Army led by Yu Xmou has since become a field unit, and it is no longer the main force in Guangdong, because their glorious era was collapsed by Chongqing under the pretext of the failure of the anti-Japanese resistance.

And even if the Twelfth Army led by Yu Xmou, the newly defeated division, is replenished with troops, and the power is in his hands to resist Japan, I am afraid that Yu Xmou, who was defeated by the Japanese army, will not have much confidence in his heart to achieve the final victory.

And the Chongqing side, after Yu Xmou lost Guangzhou, not only established the Fourth War Zone, but also divided Yu Xmou's power; And three more troops were arranged.

They were the General Reserve, reinforced by the central government, stationed in Shaoguan; Because Shaoguan is the northern gate of Guangdong, it has always been an important military town in Guangdong, so it cannot be lost.

Then there is the Guangdong Provincial Security Force, which not only has the strength of one army, but also has the strength of five regiments remaining; The commander of the army is Zou Honglai, the director of security, and the rest of the director of the security department is Wu Xixian.

Finally, the Guangdong Provincial Tax Police Corps was also transferred to Guangdong, and they respectively transferred three regiments and one battalion to form a division; The commander-in-chief of the Xijiang Front was assigned command of the operation, while the remaining four battalions continued to perform their original anti-smuggling work and other important tasks.

In short, after the loss of Guangzhou, the layout of the entire Guangdong will change turbulently, and it will be a little chaotic; Especially after the anti-Japanese campaign in Guangxi also started, it was even more chaotic.

"In short, after the loss of Guangzhou, the whole province of Guangdong will not be peaceful, these disasters are caused by those damn Japanese devils, so we must find a way to kill more devils and let them pay for their blood debts!"

Then Wang Changgui sighed deeply and said.

"That's right! If we don't kill all these damn devils, we will never get peace in the land of China! ”

The platoon commander Chen Jilong also stared, and gritted his teeth with a fierce light.

"You and the others go back first, and have a good ambush with Wu Zhiwei and them! I'm going to scout by myself now to see if the Japanese army will also come to chase us with reinforcements! And how are they doing! ”

"Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one win a hundred battles!"

Wang Changgui suddenly changed the topic and said.

"It's not safe to go alone! I'll go with you, too! It would be better to take care of it! ”

Hearing this, platoon commander Chen Jilong disagreed.

"Don't worry about me! The Japanese devils won't kill me that easily, and I'm better at stealth than yours, and I'm heavily armed to scout them! ”

"So you don't have to worry about my safety, and follow me!"

Wang Changgui waved his hand confidently and smiled.

After speaking, before the platoon commander Chen Jilong could continue to speak, he immediately and quickly chased in the direction of the Japanese army that had just withdrawn.

"The deployment of the ambush circle depends on you, deploy it well!"

When Wang Changgui ran dozens of meters, he said the last sentence loudly.

After speaking, he disappeared in front of the platoon commander Chen Jilong and them as quickly as possible.

In this regard, the platoon commander Chen Jilong could only look at Wang Changgui in amazement for a while, and left quickly.

At this time, the Japanese army, the Japanese army captain Yamajo Masato and his troops, were also marching towards Wang Changgui's location.

"Your Excellency, Captain! What kind of army did you say Squadron Leader Shibasaki Yamashita was killed by by what kind of Shina army? Is it really necessary for us to send so many troops over against them? ”

The Chief of the General Staff, Masao Ishii, asked the captain of the group with curiosity on his face.

"We knew it when we got to the scene, and I don't know now!"

"But let's not despise those Shina troops too much from now on, and don't forget how Squadron Leader Shibasaki Yamashita and Captain Kazuo Matsui despised the Shina Army and were attacked and killed by them!"

"So if we don't want to die at the hands of these armies because we underestimate the enemy, then we must treat them as if they were a strong force now!"

"In short, I will never let you lose the reputation of my Yamajo Masato Brigade and the face of His Majesty the Emperor! Because we are one of the strongest units of the Imperial Japanese Army, we are invincible troops, and we are the flower of the 18th Division! It's not that Squadron Leader Shibasaki Yamashita and Captain Kazuo Matsui have IQs comparable to those of the two wretched people! ”

Captain Masato Yamajo waved his hand in disagreement.

"Hello!"

After hearing this, Masao Ishii, chief of the General Staff, immediately changed his attitude and nodded respectfully.

"Hmmm! The mountains and forests ahead are relatively dense, so you can send me more scouts to open the way in front and investigate! We must not be taken advantage of by those hateful Chinese troops to attack us! ”

Looking at the other party's respectful attitude, Captain Yamajo Masato said in a gentle tone.

"Hello!"

Chief of the General Staff Masao Ishii continued to listen obediently and nodded his head.

In fact, the real reason why Masao Ishii, the chief of the General Staff, responded so respectfully to the captain of the group, Masato Yamajo, was not because he agreed with the other party's words, or because he was afraid of the other party's identity; It's because the two of them are related, and the other party is still older than him, so he respects each other so much.

"Good! You go and deal with the reconnaissance problem at the front right away! ”

Captain Masato Yamajo rode on his tall horse with great satisfaction and said with a bright smile.

Because the march was carried out in the mountains and forests, the captain of the group, Masato Yamajo, did not take a car, but instead rode a horse.
