On the evening of November 14, 1939, the troops of the Honorary 3rd Division and the Honorary 7th Division conquered Sihui and wiped out all the troops of the 111th Brigade of the Japanese Army.

The 123rd Wing and the 229th Wing of the Japanese Army tried in vain to counterattack Sihui, but before these two wings reached Sihui, they were attacked by the Honorary Third Division and the Honorary Fourth Division.

The two wings were immediately encircled by the troops of the Honorable 3rd Division and the Honorable 4th Division, and the two wings were now suffering a heavy blow, and they had no hope of breaking through at all.

If he knew that there would be two elite divisions of the New Seventh Army to garrison, Ando Toshikichi would not have sent two infantry wings to counterattack, for his misjudgment, Ando Toshikichi paid the price of two infantry wings.

However, Ando Toshikichi quickly made adjustments, and he immediately transferred the front-line troops back, and Ando Toshiyoshi once again narrowed the defensive range of his troops.

By one o'clock in the morning of the 15th, the troops of the 23 Brigade and Regiment stationed in Qingyuan began to return to Hua County, and the troops of the 23 Brigade returned to the establishment of the 18 th Division, and the troops stationed in Hua County at this time were the 18 th Division, the 23 Brigade of the 18 th Division, the 35 Brigade and the directly subordinate mountain artillery wing, the baggage regiment, the engineer wing, the communications team, the health team, and the field hospital, totaling more than 20,000 people.

After the commander of the 18th Division Lieutenant General Division returned to the 23rd Brigade and Regiment to return to the formation, he immediately dispatched the troops of the 35th Brigade and began to launch a diversion attack on the Ninth Army, and when the 23rd Brigade entered Huaxian, the Lieutenant General Division Changna Chengyi quickly began to make adjustments, and he strengthened the 23rd Brigade with the strongest combat effectiveness to strengthen the engineer wing, and the baggage wing set up the first defensive position on the periphery of Huaxian, while he led the 35th Brigade and the mountain artillery wing to stay in the county seat.

According to Ando Toshikishi's deployment, the Japanese army gathered more than 20,000 troops of the 18th Division in Huaxian, a stronghold on the outskirts north of Guangdong.

At the same time, in Foshan, west of Guangzhou, the troops of the 106th Division also began to enter the Foshan position, and the Guards Mixed Brigade stationed in Foshan began to march towards Guangzhou.

At present, the 106th Division only has the 136th Brigade, which is directly under the Field Artillery Wing, directly under the Baggage Wing, the Health Team and the Field Hospital, but the troops they can fight with are only the 145th Wing of the 136th Brigade and the 123rd Wing of the 136th Brigade and the 123rd Wing of the 136th Brigade and Regiment were transferred to Sihui by Ando Toshikichi.

And the 43rd and 45th divisions of the puppet army that strengthened here are only more than 6,000 people, and these puppet Japanese troops are not trusted, and they can only divide and let them garrison.

That is to say, there are only more than 3,000 Japanese fighters in Foshan here in the 145th Wing, considering this situation, Ando Toshiyoshi has begun to order the 11th Defense Brigade of the Navy, more than 3,000 people of the 19th Defense Brigade to quickly approach Foshan and strengthen the defense of the 106th Division, but even if these two defense teams arrive, the Japanese combat infantry is only more than 6,000 people, counting the puppet army There are only more than 10,000 people, counting the artillery and baggage troops, the Japanese puppet army here in Foshan has more than 18,000 people.

To the east of Guangzhou is the 104th Division troops stationed, at present the 104th Division has under the jurisdiction of the 132nd Brigade and Regiment, as well as the field artillery wing, the engineer wing, the baggage wing and the field hospital of the health team, they have a total of more than 15,000 people, and at the same time they have also strengthened the 20th division of the puppet army and the 30th division of the puppet army, and there are more than 20,000 people.

The Japanese army deployed nearly 60,000 Japanese puppet troops on the periphery, and the towns of Huaxian, Foshan, and Dongguan were all ordered by Ando Toshiyoshi to build fortifications long ago.

The fortifications here are very strong, and all three strongholds have a large amount of military ammunition in stock, especially here in Dongguan and Foshan, and even some places are permanent fortifications.

And here in Guangzhou, Ando Toshiyoshi assembled a mobile force, this mobile unit includes the cavalry brigade and search wing of each division and the armored unit directly under it, and there are also 38 divisions here, this 38 division has 228 wings, 230 wings, field artillery wings, engineer wings, baggage wings, more than 13,000 people in the whole division, and the guards mixed brigade has more than 10,000 people under the jurisdiction of the 1st Guards Infantry Wing, the 2nd Guards Infantry Wing, the 3rd Brigade of the Field Artillery Outer Wing, the 8th Heavy Artillery Wing, and more than 10,000 people in the whole brigade. Counting the units directly under the 21st Army of the Japanese Army, there were nearly 30,000 Japanese troops in Guangzhou.

At present, there are more than 90,000 Japanese puppet army troops stationed in Guangzhou and peripheral strongholds, and these Japanese puppet troops are most of the Japanese puppet army troops in Guangdong at present.

As long as all the more than 90,000 puppet army troops are wiped out, then almost the entire territory of Guangdong can be declared recovered.

Sihui, Sun Weiguo has already arrived here, the Honor 3rd Division and the Honor 7th Division have joined forces, and the Japanese 123rd Wing and 229th Wing have all been annihilated, so far, the Chinese troops have annihilated the Japanese army's six infantry wings, an artillery wing of more than 20,000 people.

Compared with Ando Rikichi who only has more than 90,000 puppet army troops in his hands, Sun Weiguo currently has sufficient troops in his hands.

At present, Sun Weiguo can directly command the New Seventh Army on the front line, the Honorary Third Division, the Honorary Seventh Division, the Provisional Fifth Division, the Provisional Ninth Army, the 201st Division, the Honorary Fourth Division, the 152nd Division of the 62nd Army, the 157th Division, the 158th Division of the 65th Army, the 187th Division, the 14th Division and the 18th Division of the 54th Army, as well as the Provisional Sixth Division, and at present, Sun Weiguo is directly able to command eleven divisions.

In addition to these 11 divisions, there are also four divisions of the 63rd Army, namely the 151st Division, the 153rd Division, the 154th Division, and the 186th Division, which are responsible for defensive tasks in the rear, and these four divisions can also be directly transferred to the front line to fight.

"Commander-in-chief." In Sihui City, in a bombed-out house, Qin Xianliang and Chen Zhengwei came to Sun Weiguo, and they saluted Sun Weiguo and said.

"Okay, you guys fought very well in Sihui, so far we have annihilated six infantry wings of the Japanese army and one mountain artillery wing, but in these six infantry wings, your two divisions have annihilated four Japanese troops, and you have performed very well this time. I have already started to contact the commissar, and the munitions will be sent to you shortly. ”

After Sun Weiguo saw Qin Xianliang and Chen Zhengwei, a smile appeared on his face, and after coming to them, Sun Weiguo shook hands with them.

"Commander-in-chief, we don't need military supplies for the time being, if you can, can you give us some ammunition, and can you give us a batch of battle defense guns to deal with the little devil fortifications, infantry artillery and mountain artillery are difficult to play a role, only war defense artillery can quickly destroy them."

Qin Xianliang's eyes looked at Sun Weiguo, and he said with a somewhat embarrassed expression.

"I HAVE NOTICED THIS PROBLEM, AND AT PRESENT, I HAVE BEGUN TO DISTRIBUTE THE COMBAT DEFENSE ARTILLERY TO ALL DEPARTMENTS, AND THE TWO MORTARS OF THE WEAPON SUPPORT COMPANY DIRECTLY UNDER THE REGIMENT HAVE BEEN CANCELLED AND REPLACED WITH TWO 57MM COMBAT DEFENSE GUNS TO STRENGTHEN YOUR COMBAT EFFECTIVENESS. By the way, you have also incorporated the puppet army, where is this puppet army division commander, I want to meet him. ”

Sun Weiguo nodded, he looked at Qin Xianliang and said.
