Guangzhou, the headquarters of the 21st Army of the Japanese Army.

The Japanese Fifth Division and the Garrison Mixed Brigade had already landed in Qinzhou Bay in Guangxi and quickly began to advance in depth, and the operation in Guangxi was unexpectedly smooth.

However, as the 21st Independent Flying Team began to report, and Sun Weiguo's 47th Group Army, which was stationed in the area of Hengyang and Chenzhou, began to be dispatched, and the commander of the 21st Lieutenant General, Ando Toshiyoshi, knew very well that the time had come to really test himself, and Ando Toshiyoshi had begun to contact the front-line troops and issued an order to proceed according to the plan.

But even if Ando Toshikichi planned everything in advance and was fully prepared, it was just that when he really had to face Sun Weiguo's troops, Ando Toshikichi was still very nervous.

"Your Excellency Commander, the 47th Group Army has begun to advance in three ways, and their targets are Shaoguan, Wengyuan, and Yangshan, and it seems that Sun Weiguo intends to directly confront the troops of the 18th Division, 104th Division, and 106th Division."

The chief of staff of the 21st Army Major General came to Ando Toshikichi, he looked at Ando Toshiyoshi, and reported with a solemn expression.

"I see, I've given orders to the front-line troops, and they'll follow the plan." Toshikichi Ando was nervous in his heart, but he didn't show it on the surface.

After glancing at the map, Toshikichi Ando fell into deep thought.

At nine o'clock in the evening, the troops of the 201st Division, led by the division commander Fang Chaoqun, began to enter Shaoguan, but when the troops of the 201st Division were ready to attack, the troops of the 23rd Brigade began to retreat.

The 23rd Brigade retreated all the way to Yingde, where it was reconciled with the main force of the 18th Division, and after Fang Chaoqun consulted Sun Weiguo, he began to send reconnaissance troops to reconnoitre.

At ten o'clock in the evening, the Honorary Fourth Division of the New Seventh Army began to enter Shixing under the leadership of division commander Zhang Wenbin, where the Honorary Fourth Division encountered the Japanese 104th Division.

At 11 o'clock in the evening, the main force of the New Seventh Army began to be stationed in Lianzhou, when the New Seventh Army Honorary Third Division and the Honorary Seventh Division troops were stationed in Lianzhou, the Japanese army in Yangshan immediately abandoned Yangshan after hearing the news and began to retreat to Guangning County, and the Honorary Third Division of the New Seventh Army was stationed in Yangshan at 12 o'clock in the evening under the leadership of division commander Qin Xianliang.

Shaoguan, the former enemy headquarters of the Fourth Theater, as the Japanese 23 Brigade began to withdraw to Yingde, Yu Hanmou, who had set up the deputy commander's headquarters in Lechang, rushed back to Shaoguan as soon as possible.

Here in Shaoguan, Yu Hanmou summoned the generals of the Fourth Theater at or above the level of the Guangdong Army.

Huang Tao, commander of the 62nd Army, Zhang Ruigui, commander of the 63rd Army, and Huang Guoliang, commander of the 65th Army, came to the former enemy's general headquarters.

At present, the units of the 65th Army are temporarily transferred from the units of the Ninth Group Army to the 12th Group Army, while the units of the Ninth Group Army are all entered to fight in Guangxi.

At present, only units of the 47 th Group Army and the 12 th Group Army are fighting in Guangdong, and Yu Hanmou, deputy commander of the Fourth Theater, is in charge of the military command of operations in Guangdong.

This time, Yu Hanmou came to Shaoguan, not to compete with Sun Weiguo for command, but to hand over all the command of the troops to Sun Weiguo.

Yu Hanmou knew his command ability very well, and he knew that if he wanted to win, only Sun Weiguo would command.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you have all seen it, the troops of the 47th Group Army have not all arrived, but the commander-in-chief Sun Weiguo has arrived, and the little devil is immediately frightened and immediately retreated, and now the departments of the 47th Group Army have begun to enter Guangdong, I believe that under the command of Commander-in-Chief Sun Weiguo, we will not only be able to repel the Japanese attack, but also be able to recover the lost territory. Now I hand over the command to Commander-in-Chief Sun Weiguo, and you must obey Commander-in-Chief Sun's call, and those who violate the order will be engaged in military law. ”

When the three army commanders arrived at the general headquarters, Yu Hanmou looked at them and said with an extremely serious expression.

"Commander-in-Chief Sun is really powerful, Commander-in-Chief Sun has just arrived in Shaoguan, and the little devil immediately withdrew his troops, I guess the little devil must have known that Commander-in-Chief Sun was coming, so he took the initiative to evacuate. I am willing to obey the command of Commander-in-Chief Sun and go to the soup and fire. ”

"The 47th Group Army can fight well, and with the troops of the 47th Group Army assisting in the operation this time, we will not only be able to repel the Japanese attack, but will definitely be able to recover the lost territory. Commander-in-Chief Sun rest assured, if you say that you are going to fight to the east, I will definitely not even look at the west. ”

"The little devil is afraid of the troops of the 47th Group Army and Commander-in-Chief Sun, and it is really my blessing to be able to fight side by side with the 47th Group Army and Commander-in-Chief Sun this time, I will absolutely obey the command of Commander-in-Chief Sun and will not slack off in the slightest."

The three army commanders had serious expressions on their faces, and they looked at Sun Weiguo and said immediately.

"Commander-in-Chief Sun, the troops will be handed over to your command, and please rest assured Commander-in-Chief Sun, I will solve the problem of troop supply, and I will try my best to replenish weapons and ammunition. Fighting in Guangdong, I will never wronged the brothers, and I can guarantee this. Yu Hanmou also immediately said to Sun Weiguo.

"So there will be a surplus of sir." Sun Weiguo said calmly.

Yu Hanmou nodded, he stood aside and gave up the throne to Sun Weiguo, after all, Sun Weiguo was going to give a battle order.

"The Japanese troops in Yangshan have begun to retreat to Quang Ninh, and at present, the Honorary Third Division of the New Seventh Army has arrived here, the Honorary Third Division of the New Seventh Army has made a tentative attack on Quang Ninh, and the Honorary Seventh Division has attacked East Yingde. The troops of the 201st Division attacked from Shaoguan and advanced to the Yingde attack, and the Honorable Fourth Division advanced to Wengyuan, in order to capture Wengyuan in the shortest possible time. ”

"The 151st Division of the 63rd Army was stationed in Shaoguan, the 153rd Division was stationed in Yangshan, and Zhang Ruigui, the commander of the 63rd Army, commanded the division to march to Yangshan, and marched to Qingyuan after passing through Yangshan, cutting off the rear road of the British and German Japanese troops. The Fifth Division of the New Seventh Army advanced to Huangpi Town, the center of Yingde and Wengyuan, occupied Huangpo Town, and cut off the connection between Yingde and Wengyuan's Japanese army. ”

"The commander of the 62nd Army, Huang Tao, commanded the division to enter Xinfeng through Huangpo Town to cut off the rear road of the Japanese army in Wengyuan, and the 65th Army deployed Lechang as a strategic general reserve, and the former enemy general headquarters was established in Shaoguan, with the sixth division, artillery brigade, and cavalry guard regiment as reserves."

Sun Weiguo looked towards the map, and he immediately began to give orders.

For the troops of the 18th Division and the 104th Division in the direction of Yingde and Wengyuan, Sun Weiguo sent the 201st Division and the Honorary Fourth Division to attack head-on, while the two divisions of the 63rd Army and the two divisions of the 62nd Army marched to Qingyuan and Xinfeng behind Yingde and Weng Yuan to cut off their back road, and the Honorary Seventh Division of the New Seventh Army attacked Yingde from Yangshan, which was equivalent to Sun Weiguo using the strength of the seven divisions to encircle the troops of the 18th Division and the 104th Division.
