Sun Weiguo's order began to be conveyed, Fang Chaoqun's 201st Division troops began to act, and his colleague Huang Tao's 62nd Army's 152nd Division troops also launched an operation.

At present, the Honorary Third Division of the New Seventh Army of the National Army is stationed on the periphery of Guangning, the Honorary Seventh Division and the 201st Division are stationed in Yingde, the provisional Fifth Division is stationed in Huangpi Town, and the troops of the Honorary Fourth Division are still stationed in Wengyuan, while the division is stationed in Xinfeng, and the division is on the periphery of Qingyuan.

Moreover, the troops of the 154th Division of the 63rd Army are currently suffering heavy losses, and this division needs to be immediately withdrawn to the rear to rest and recuperate, but Sun Weiguo wants to hold his division commander Liang Shiji responsible.

At this time, in Qingyuan, the headquarters of the 18th Division of the Japanese Army.

Lieutenant General Commander Guna Joichi had an indifferent smile on his face, he had already begun to get a report from the commander of the 23rd Brigade Major General Hara Shou Santoku, he knew that the troops of the 23rd Brigade defeated a division of the Chinese army at the front of the main position, and caused more than 3,000 casualties to the other side, which was a very good record for Gyuna Joichi.

Guna Castle needed this record to boost his morale, and he had already begun to send it to the 106th and 104th Divisions and the 21st Army Headquarters.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, at present, the Chinese troops have begun to rest and recuperate on the periphery of Qingyuan, we have taken them by surprise, and the Chinese troops have paid a heavy price, according to the current situation, it is impossible for the Chinese troops to attack us at all. Your Excellency the Division Commander, I suggest that our troops can take the opportunity to launch a counterattack against the Chinese troops. ”

Takeda Shou, chief of staff of the Eighteenth Division, came to Jiuna Chengyi, he pointed to the periphery of Qingyuan, and said with murderous intent in his eyes.

With the 23rd Brigade of the 18th Division inflicting more than 3,000 casualties on the 154th Division, the morale of the Japanese army was high, and many devil soldiers hoped to launch an immediate attack on the Chinese troops.

The Japanese troops were advocating the spirit of attack, and they wanted to immediately launch a counterattack against the Chinese troops, but without the order of Jiunacheng, the little devils did not dare to act rashly.

"Your Excellency the Commander has given an order that we absolutely cannot attack the Chinese troops without authorization, and order the front-line troops to immediately set up barbed wire, and at the same time strengthen the minefield to prevent the infiltration of the Chinese troops, and immediately change the artillery positions and related firing points, absolutely not to let the Chinese troops know."

Jiuna Joichi ignored Takeda Shou's proposal, and he directly issued an order to stick to it.

The focus of the Japanese army's operation this time was in Guangxi, and the task of the Japanese 21st Army was to contain the Chinese Sun Weiguo troops, and it was precisely with this order that the commander of the 21st Army, Lieutenant General Ando Toshikichi, did not intend to attack at all, and he planned to use the defensive position to bring casualties to the Chinese troops.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Division Commander." Takeda Shou saluted and said to the division commander Naguna Joichi.

The Japanese troops did not intend to attack, they were stuck in their positions for defense, and they did not intend to take the initiative to attack the Chinese troops at all.

At the same time in Guangzhou, in the headquarters of the 21 Army.

Lieutenant General Commander Toshiyoshi Ando looked at the map, and a smile appeared on his face, knowing that the troops of the 18th Division had brought more than 3,000 casualties to the Chinese troops on the periphery of Qingyuan, which was Ando Toshiyoshile's blossom, even though he knew that this was definitely not Sun Weiguo's troops, but this was enough to make him very excited.

"The Chinese troops were frustrated in Qingyuan and Quang Ninh, they must attack Fogang and Longmen, and immediately contacted the troops of the 104th Division and ordered the 104th Division to pay attention to the defense of Fogang and Longmen. There can be no accidents in Fogang and Longmen. After staring at the map for a while, Toshikichi Ando immediately gave an order to the chief of staff behind him.

"Hi, Your Excellency Commander, please rest assured, Your Excellency the Commander, I have already contacted the troops of the 104th Division, and they will definitely be vigilant to garrison Fogang and Longmen, and will definitely not let any accidents occur in these two places. And judging by the fortifications we have built, it is simply impossible for the Chinese troops to break through, not to mention that we have strengthened the artillery units. ”

The chief of staff of the major general had a smile on his face, and he said with a flattering face.

Toshikichi Ando nodded, and he continued to stare at the map, where he had everything already deployed at the front line.

The three artillery wings of the 18th Division, the 104th Division, and the 106th Division have a total of 144 75mm field guns, mountain guns, and 105mm field guns, and the second heavy artillery wing directly under the 21st Army Headquarters, the eighth heavy artillery wing carried by the Guards Mixed Brigade, and the two heavy artillery wings have a total of 60 150mm howitzers, all of which were deployed by Toshiyoshi Ando on the front line.

More than 200 artillery pieces can directly support the operations of various divisions and regiments, and the positions of all divisions and regiments of the Japanese army have been strengthened.

Wire cages, minefields, pillboxes, bunkers, light and heavy machine-gun firing points, main positions, artillery positions, reserve positions, as well as command headquarters at all levels.

These fortifications were all reinforced with steel and cement, and Toshiyoshi Ando was preparing for a month.

For some units with poor combat effectiveness, Ando Toshikichi even directly locked all the light and heavy machine gun shooters in the bunkers to prevent them from evacuating without authorization.

"The sky is about to dawn, immediately contact the 21st Independent Flying Team, and order them to take off immediately after dawn, and carry out carpet bombing of Yangshan, Yingde, Wengyuan, Xinfeng, and Shaoguan.

After staring at the map for a while, a playful smile appeared on Ando's face, and he immediately began to give orders.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Commander." The Chief of Staff of the Major General immediately began to salute and said.

At this time, in Lechang, the deputy commander of the Fourth Theater of Operations.

Yu Hanmou, deputy commander of the Fourth Theater of Operations, looked at the call, and a solemn expression appeared on his face.

The 12th Group Army is Yu Hanmou's descendant troops, and the 63rd Army is Yu Hanmou's most valued unit, but now the 154th Division has just lost more than 3,000 people in the fight with the Japanese army, which makes Yu Hanmou very distressed, and makes him helpless to say that Sun Weiguo wants to severely punish Liang Shiji, the commander of the 154th Division, and Yu Hanmou is embarrassed by this.

Liang Shiji is an old qualification, and he has a lot of prestige in the Guangdong army, if he is dealt with, Yu Hanmou is worried that it will cause dissatisfaction among the troops.

But if Liang Shiji is not dealt with, Sun Weiguo's side Yu Hanmou has no way to explain, and now Yu Hanmou is in a dilemma, and he has not made any decision for a long time.

"Deputy Commander, the chairman of the committee sent a telegram asking how we are fighting here, the Japanese army is making rapid progress in Guangxi, and the chairman is worried about the war situation in Guangxi, although the chairman did not explain it in the telegram, but the chairman seems to have transferred the 47th Group Army to fight in Guangxi."

At this time, a major general, Gao Shen, came to Yu Hanmou and said in a solemn tone.
