Chapter 1197: The Bombing of the Japanese Army

Yu Hanmou knew that the chairman of the committee did not plan to transfer the 47th Group Army to fight in Guangdong, and this was requested by Sun Weiguo on his own initiative, and at this time, the chairman seemed to plan to transfer the 47th Group Army, and Yu Hanmou did not want Sun Weiguo's troops to leave at this time. Ranwen ??.? r?a?n?? e?n?`o?r?g?

Thinking of what Sun Weiguo invited to do, Yu Hanmou frowned and pondered slightly for a while, and finally he made a decision.

"Convey the order of the deputy commander of the Fourth Theater Commander's Department, Liang Shiji, commander of the 154th Division of the 63rd Army, commanded the troops to fight unfavorably, and the troops of the 154th Division immediately returned to Shaoguan to rest and recuperate, and Liang Shiji was dismissed from the post of commander of the 154th Division. At the same time, all units of the 12th Group Army were telegraphed, and all officers who disobeyed the orders of Commander-in-Chief Sun in an unfavorable battle would be severely punished and would not be spared. ”

Yu Hanmou immediately began to give orders, he knew that if he did not give Sun Weiguo an explanation for this matter, on the one hand, it would be equivalent to not giving Sun Weiguo face, and on the other hand, if the 47th Group Army withdrew from Guangdong and entered Guangxi to fight, then Yu Hanmou would be a sinner.

For the sake of these two considerations, Yu Hanmou directly removed Liang Shiji from his position as commander of the 154th Division.

This order soon began to be conveyed to the front, and the troops of the 154th Division quickly moved to Shaoguan to rest and recuperate, while Liang Shiji was directly removed from his position as division commander.

At this time, here in Longmen, a company of the 201st Division Armored Infantry Regiment has begun to come here.

The fighters in the armored vehicles began to destroy the barbed wire, but when the armored vehicles entered the minefield, they immediately detonated the mines.

The mines caused a lot of damage to the armored vehicle, but it was not fatal, and when the armored vehicle began to detonate the anti-tank mines, the armored vehicle was completely destroyed.

The armored infantry regiment immediately stopped the tentative attack, and the troops began to withdraw, and the same situation happened here with the units of the 62nd Army.

Because they knew that the Japanese army had barbed wire, the 62nd Army Engineer Unit was the first to destroy the barbed wire, but they were attacked by the Japanese army.

The engineering units suffered heavy casualties and destroyed a section of barbed wire, but the infantry could not rush through at all, because the Japanese fire would be concentrated here to shoot.

One report after another began to be submitted to Sun Weiguo, who immediately began to readjust his deployment.

The 154th Division of the 63rd Army was stationed in Shaoguan to rest and stand by, the 63rd Army set up a military headquarters in Shaoguan, its 153rd Division troops continued to be stationed in Yangshan, its 151st Division troops were stationed in Yingde, and its 186th Division troops were stationed in Wengyuan.

The three towns in the rear were handed over to Sun Weiguo to be garrisoned by three divisions of the 63rd Army, which obviously showed that Sun Weiguo had doubts about their attack capability.

At the same time, Dai Jitao's new Seventh Army Honorary Third Division, Honorary Seventh Division, and Provisional Fifth Division began to assemble in Huaiji and Deqing, west of Guangning and Zhaoqing, and the troops of the New Seventh Army will attack Guangning and Zhaoqing, Yin Jinshan's Provisional Ninth Army Honorary Fourth Division, and 201st Division troops are assembled in Dongyuan and Zijin, west of Longmen, and they will attack Longmen and Huizhou nearby.

Huang Tao's 62nd Army's 152nd Division and 157th Division were assembled between Xinfeng and Yingde, and they were responsible for attacking Qingyuan and Fogang, while the artillery brigade directly under the General Headquarters was strengthened to the troops of the New Seventh Army, and the Sixth Division was temporarily formed as a reserve, while the 158th Division and 187th Division of the 65th Army, which served as a strategic reserve, were stationed near Shaoguan. Sun Weiguo, on the other hand, set up a front-line general command in Britain and Germany to unify all departments to fight.

In view of the defensive operations of the Japanese troops, Sun Weiguo put forward a request to abandon the attack on Zhaoqing, Guangning, Qingyuan and other towns, concentrate the main force to attack the junction between these towns, break through the junction, isolate the various towns that the Japanese army focused on defending, cut off the connection, and encircle them.

Sun Weiguo focused his attack on Yin Jinshan's Ninth Army, and he strengthened the artillery brigade to Yin Jinshan, and used the main force of the Ninth Army to launch a fierce attack on the Huizhou area, breaking through from here, completely disrupting the Japanese defense system, penetrating into the Japanese army's deep defense zone, forcing it to retreat, and cooperating with the frontal troops to attack.

For the 62nd Army here, Sun Weiguo did not have much hope, and he gave the 62nd Army the task of only containing the Japanese troops in Qingyuan and Fogang.

At 5 o'clock in the morning of 14 November, the troops of the Provisional Ninth Army took the lead in the attack, and the commander of the 201st Division, Fang Chaoqun, commanded the 5th Armored Regiment, the Armored Infantry Regiment, and the Mechanized Infantry Regiment to begin to advance towards Huizhou, while the artillery brigade troops followed the troops of the Honorable 4th Division to follow, and at the same time, the troops of the Honorable 7th Regiment of the Honorable 4th Division launched a diversionary attack on Longmen.

However, shortly after the troops of the Ninth Army began to attack, the 3rd, 85th, and 88th bomber squadrons of the 21st Independent Flying Group of the Japanese Army, and 36 bombers began to take off under the cover of the 84th Fighter Squadron, and the 48 Japanese fighter-bombers began to bomb Shaoguan, Yangshan, Yingde, Wengyuan, and Xinfeng in accordance with the order given by Toshikichi Ando last night.

The 21st Reconnaissance Squadron, which belongs to the 82nd Independent Flying Group, began to take off to conduct high-altitude reconnaissance of the Chinese troops.

In Britain and Germany, in the front command of the Fourth Theater of Operations, the air defense sirens began to sound, and the mournful voice sounded, and the staff officers in the general headquarters quickly began to conceal themselves.

Xin Bowen, who served as the captain of Sun Weiguo's guard, came to Sun Weiguo for the first time, and he immediately led Sun Weiguo to hide in the air-raid shelter.

Aerial bombs began to fall on the ground without warning, huge explosions began to sound, the ground began to shake, and houses collapsed.

The Japanese bombers dropped bombs on the ground, and in an instant, Britain and Germany were full of waste, and some civilian soldiers who had not had time to hide began to be killed.

Blood stained the ground red, and severed arms and stumps were everywhere, making it a hell on earth.

The Japanese bombing lasted for more than an hour, and it did not stop until about 7 o'clock in the morning, and then the Japanese bombers began to evacuate.

Yingde Shaoguan and other places were completely in ruins, and the local garrison troops quickly began to rescue.

"Commander-in-chief, it's too dangerous here, I suggest you should immediately withdraw to the rear to command." Chief of Staff Zhao Lerong came to Sun Weiguo, he looked at Sun Weiguo, and said in a solemn tone, this place is indeed very dangerous, just bombed, and three staff officers were sacrificed in the general headquarters.

"I'm fine, I'm here to be able to quickly grasp the situation on the front." Sun Weiguo waved his hand and refused, and he returned to the command again.

At this time, here in Huizhou, the troops of the 201st Division were the first to rush here, and the thirty-six 105mm howitzers of the armored artillery regiment began to shell the positions set up by the Japanese army.

Dozens of tanks of the 5th Panzer Regiment were already preparing for the sortie, and at the same time, the units of the Honorable 4th Division and the Artillery Brigade were belated.

The main forces of the Ninth Army began to assemble in Huizhou, where they would launch an attack. (To be continued.) )
