At this moment, a staff officer of Nakasa walked up to Tani Shoo and Michio Kato and reported to the two that Nanning had sent an urgent telegram, and according to reliable information from the special high school, the forward troops of the Far Fifth Group Army of the expeditionary force had suddenly arrived in Baise in the southwest direction of Nanning, and it was expected to arrive outside Nanning within three days.

The two glanced at each other, suddenly looked nervous, and invariably walked the battle map.

Nanning is the most critical part of the battle, like a bridgehead, so Gu Shoufu deployed three divisions in Nanning, which is the top priority of defense.

Originally, seeing that it was only the 21st Group Army and the 16th Group Army of the National Army that attacked Nanning, Gu Shoufu really didn't take them seriously, but now that he suddenly killed a Far Fifth Group Army, a heavy sense of pressure suddenly came to his face.

Gu Shoufu took the command pole from the staff officer, the tip of the pole fell on the word "Baise", and said in a deep voice: "Here, two hundred and fifty kilometers away from Nanning, the Far Fifth Group Army is a unit that accepts rice weapons, and the degree of mechanization is high, and their forward troops can reach the outside of Nanning within three days, and they can launch an attack on the whole line within five days. ”

Michio Kato spat out a rough breath and said: "It seems that this Jiang Haoran really doesn't fight an uncertain battle, and he actually laid a surprise army here, and now the threat of Nanning is great?" In my opinion, is it possible to draw even two wings from the Yulin defense line to reinforce it? ”

"No, the location of Yulin is also equally important, but Jiang Haoran only invested three divisions of the 71st Army at the front, I suspect that he deliberately arranged a false impression that the main direction of attack is in Nanning, just waiting for us to transfer troops from Yulin to rush to help, and then storm Yulin, do you find it, his descendant of the new Sixth Division has not yet had any news, so why don't you wait outside Yulin City?"

"It's really a bit like that, but Gu Shoujun, Nanning's strength is nearly half different from that army, can they hold it?"

Gu Shoufu hesitated for a while, and said: "There should be no problem, the Nanning defense force is the 156th Division, the 157th Division, and the Botian Division, especially the 156th Division and the 157th Division, which are the only elite troops that have fought with the Nanshan Army but can retreat with their whole body, plus the high and deep outline of Nanning, no matter how to hold on for ten days and half a month, there is no problem, with this time, Yamashita Jun has already led his troops into Guangxi, so we will not lose no matter how we count." ”

Gu Shoufu's cowhide is a bit big, the two numbers of the 156th Division and the 157th Division did appear on Jiang Haoran's desk, but they have never had a head-to-head confrontation with the Nanshan Army, let alone "retreat with all their bodies".

At the beginning of the 331 base defense battle, the 6th and 9th divisions of the island army were besieged on Mantou Mountain by the special operations division, and it was these two divisions that were ready to go to the rescue, however, as more and more reinforcements poured into the 331 defense line, the island army was forced to give up the rescue, and the two divisions finally began to retreat only when they reached Shanggao, and they did not meet with the Nanshan Army at all, but they were somehow packaged by the island army with "such an amazing record".

In fact, if you think about it, you can understand that since Jiang Haoran was born, the island army has almost failed to take advantage of him, and countless island troops have died in his hands.

However, although the numbers of these two divisions are low, they are out-and-out C divisions, with a staff of more than 24,000, and they have been fighting with Zhang Fakui's division in the Liangguang area for nearly two years, and they can be regarded as elite troops.

But among the three divisions, the really powerful is the Botian Division, the predecessor of the Botian Division is the Botian Detachment, as early as the Battle of Wuhan, this unit acted as the vanguard of the island army, occupied Anqing, trapped Jiujiang, and then marched south along Ruichang all the way, until Wuhan, and made a "great military achievement" for the island army.

What is despicable is that this unit was formed in Taiwan, and all the soldiers came from Taiwan, and what remained in their veins was the blood of the descendants of Yan and Huang.

Straight to the point.

Michio Kato nodded, his expression was much more relaxed, and then he suddenly remembered and said, "By the way, Gu Shoujun, Chongzuo?" Do you think they will make a detour to Chongzuo to attack our rear? ”

Gu Shoufu waved his hand decisively and said: "This will not happen, although Chongzuo I only arranged a wing, and Chongzuo's position is indeed very important, once occupied by the enemy, the entire ass of Nanning will be exposed under the guns of the army, but don't forget, the southern army of Fengwen under the mountain will be killed immediately, even if we abandon Chongzuo in a short period of time and let the army form a three-sided siege of Nanning, they will never be able to capture Nanning City within ten days, I still have confidence in this." And once Nanning can't be attacked for a long time, and the southern army kills from behind, how many troops he Jiang Haoran throws into Chongzuo will die. Therefore, this kind of low-level tactic Jiang Haoran would never use. ”

"Yo Xi!" Michio Kato nodded again and again: "Then we just need to stick to the previous deployment and be ready for battle." ”

……

On the highway from Baise to Nanning in Guangxi, a unit wearing a rice-style steel helmet, a rice-style military uniform, and a rice-style combat boot was marching rapidly.

Although the whole body is in a rice style, the weapon in his hand is an AK47 equipped by the elite troops of the Chinese army, and there is also a very eye-catching blue sky and white sun badge on the steel helmet, and there are three big characters "Expeditionary Force" on the armband.

That's right, they are the officers and soldiers of Tang Enbo's Far Fifth Army.

Jiang Haoran had a far-sighted plan, and laid out this ambush as early as a month ago, and the Far Fifth Group Army assembled in Luliang, Yunnan, and secretly advanced day and night through Luoping and Xingyi, and appeared here at this time no sooner or later.

In the middle of the procession, a jeep rushed to the curb and stopped, and Towne, dressed in a lieutenant general's uniform, stepped out of the car.

If it weren't for the mistake of the Ruichang Campaign, Tang Enbo would have already had the rank of general on his shoulders, but he didn't regret it, and even had a kind of complacency about being a blessing in disguise, if he hadn't entered the expeditionary force by mistake, how could he climb the big tree of Jiang Haoran, everyone knew that the expeditionary force was Jiang Haoran's descendant troops, and his status was only a little worse than that of the 40th Group Army, and he was now the commander of the Far Fifth Group Army, and his future was limitless.

"Herald, order the two division commanders of Qing 214, Qing 215 Hu and Yang to come to see me immediately!" Townburant said.

"Yes, Commander!" The herald responded, and immediately took out the walkie-talkie to get in touch, since the walkie-talkie came out, this kind of small-distance communication is indeed much more convenient.

After a short time, two officers with the rank of major general trotted all the way from the front of the line and stood in front of Tang Enbo and saluted.
