While Seishiro Itagaki was staring at the location of Guangdong on the map, the chief of staff of the South China Front, Major General Hiroshi Nemoto, came to him to report and said.

The Japanese intelligence agencies are very located in all corners of China, and they have also gathered a lot of personnel, and they get the news very quickly.

The Military Commission took into account that Sun Weiguo performed well in the Battle of Guangzhou, not only inflicting heavy losses on the Japanese 21st Army, but also capturing the commander of the Japanese 21st Army, Lieutenant General Toshiyoshi Ando, the commander of the Major General Brigade of the Guards Mixed Brigade, Takeshi Suida, and recovering Guangzhou and other areas, so the Military Commission was preparing to promote Sun Weiguo to the rank of second-class general of the army.

This news has not yet been passed on to Sun Weiguo, but the little devils know it in advance, and they also know that Sun Weiguo is not in Guangdong at present.

"Sun Weiguo is not in Guangdong?" When Seishiro Itagaki heard the news, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and he glanced at Hiroshi Nemoto.

"Yes, Your Excellency Commander, the intelligence agency has determined that Sun Weiguo is not in Guangdong, but I don't know where he went for the time being, of course, it is also possible that he went to Chongqing to report on his work, or it is possible that he went to Chongqing to accept the promotion to the rank of second-class general of the army."

Nemo immediately replied, but Seishiro Itagaki shook his head, he felt that it was impossible for Sun Weiguo to leave Guangdong because of these things at this time.

You must know that the South China Front has begun to assemble troops on Hainan Island one after another, and there are currently more than 200,000 troops on Hainan Island, and these more than 200,000 troops can attack Guangdong through naval transportation at any time.

He knew that Sun Weiguo must know about the situation of the Japanese army on Hainan Island, but Sun Weiguo did not have naval and air force support, and he had nothing to do about it.

However, with Itagaki Seishiro's understanding, Sun Weiguo would definitely personally sit in command of Guangdong, because Sun Weiguo would definitely be able to think that the Japanese troops would counterattack Guangdong.

But at such an important time, Sun Weiguo actually left Guangdong, where did he go, Itagaki Seishiro looked at the map.

It is impossible to go to Chongqing to report on work or accept military ranks, with Itagaki Seishiro's understanding of Sun Weiguo, this is simply impossible, and Sun Weiguo can clearly distinguish the priorities of things.

It is possible to report on work and accept military ranks at any time, and it is impossible for Sun Weiguo to leave Guangdong to do these two things when more than 200,000 Japanese troops have gathered on Hainan Island.

Itagaki Seishiro knows a little about Sun Weiguo, and he also has a certain brain, and the most important thing is that he is very bold.

Itagaki was well-known in the Japanese Army, and Seishiro Itagaki would do bold things and make bold ideas.

"Guangxi." Itagaki Seishiro's gaze began to lock on Guangxi, and he said with a solemn expression on his face.

"Your Excellency, Commander? Do you think Sun Weiguo will go to Guangxi, but the war in Guangxi has ended, what is Sun Weiguo going to Guangxi to do at this time? Did he go to a military meeting? If that's the case, then we don't need to care. ”

Hiroshi looked at the location of Guangxi on the map, and his face showed a relaxed expression.

He knew that every time the Chinese troops finished a battle, a high-level meeting would be held at the top level, and Sun Weiguo went to Guangxi, and he thought that he would probably attend the summary meeting.

Nemoto didn't feel the need to pay attention to where Sun Weiguo went, but Seishiro Itagaki had a solemn expression on his face.

The Japanese army launched an operation against Guangxi, not only because they wanted to settle the dispute between the army and navy, but also because Guangxi was of relatively important strategic significance.

Guangxi borders Yunnan and Guizhou, and as long as you cross Guizhou, you will be the wartime capital of Chongqing, which is the seat of China's head of state.

At present, the southern part of Guangxi has been controlled by the Japanese army, especially the strategically important Nanning is controlled by the Japanese army, although the Japanese army has lost Guangdong, but they have gained Guangxi, which is more important than Guangdong, and the strength of the South China Front is more than 200,000, if the South China Front army is assembled in Guangxi and directly launches operations against Yunnan and Guizhou, then the rear of southwest China will become dangerous, and even Chongqing may not be able to be saved.

More importantly, the South China Front could fully operate together with the Wuhan 11th Army, which would deal a fatal blow to the Chinese forces.

Itagaki Seishiro guessed that Sun Weiguo would go to Guangxi, but he felt that Sun Weiguo would not go to Guangxi to participate in any summary meeting, and he even felt that Sun Weiguo's visit to Guangxi meant that the Chinese troops were about to counterattack the Fifth Division and the Tun Mixed Brigade in Guangxi!

"There are only more than 10,000 people stationed in the mixed brigade, but they are responsible for dozens of kilometers of coastline in Qinzhou Bay, and they are also responsible for the supply line on the road from Qinzhou Bay to Nanning for more than 100 kilometers, while the Fifth Division is deployed in Zhennanguan, Nanning, and Longzhou for more than 200 kilometers.

Seishiro Itagaki picked up the baton, he tapped back and forth on the map, and said with a serious expression on his face.

As Itagaki Seishiro's words fell, Major General Chief of Staff Hiroshi Nemoto also began to look at the map, and he couldn't help but show a stunned expression on his face.

There are more than 30,000 people in the Fifth Division and more than 10,000 people in the mixed brigade stationed in Tun, and these two troops are only about 50,000 people, but their garrison is within a range of several hundred kilometers.

As Seishiro Itagaki said, these Japanese troops were like prey under the guns of hunters, and as hunters of Chinese troops, how could they not be tempted?

"Guangxi has an important strategic position, and after the imperial army captures Guangxi, it poses a great threat to the southwestern rear of China, and the Chinese army will never allow any imperial army troops to be stationed here. Your Excellency, Commander, it seems that Sun Weiguo, the fierce general of China, went to Guangxi, and it is very likely that he intended to counterattack the Fifth Division and the Tun Mixed Brigade. ”

Major General Nemoto Hiroshi looked at Seishiro Itagaki and said with a solemn expression on his face.

"It is very likely that this is the case, you immediately summoned the commander of the 16th Division, Lieutenant General Mori Tsunada, and the commander of the 57th Division, Lieutenant General Ito, to come over, and at the same time contact His Excellency Commander Takasu Shiro of the Second Fleet to come over, I have important matters to discuss with them."

Seishiro Itagaki had a serious expression on his face, he looked at the chief of staff of the major general, Hiroshi Nemoto, and gave the order in a solemn tone.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Commander." Root Bo immediately saluted.

Immediately after that, Nemoto Hiroshi began to convey orders, and the commander of the 16th Division, Lieutenant General Mori Tsunayoshi, and the commander of the 57th Division, Lieutenant General Ito Zhigang, quickly rushed to the Haikou Headquarters, and Takasu Shiro of the Second Fleet of the Second Fleet also immediately began to rush to the Haikou Headquarters.
