The night is hazy, the darkness is coming, it is November, the weather is cold, Yulin, inside Sun Weiguo's command post.

Huang Yongsheng, the commander of the 1st Ranger Brigade, stood in front of the map, holding a baton and giving a detailed introduction to the situation in Hengxian and Lingshan counties.

"According to the reconnaissance report of the first battalion and the second battalion of the rangers, the Japanese army has deployed a large number of troops in Hengxian and Lingshan counties, according to their reconnaissance, the number of Japanese troops in these two counties has exceeded 40,000, these devil soldiers are equipped with a certain number of armored vehicles, and their positions are very tight, we cannot go to the depth to reconnoiter for the time being. At present, I have sent the 3rd Ranger Battalion to reconnoiter from the flank, and there is no news of the 3rd Ranger Battalion at this time. ”

Sun Weiguo looked at the map, his face showed a contemplative expression, and Qin Xianliang, the commander of the Honorary Third Division, Zhang Wenbin, the commander of the Honorary Fourth Division, and Ge Haifeng, the commander of the Security Division, were standing beside Sun Weiguo, and their eyes were also looking towards the map, and after hearing Huang Yongsheng's report, they realized that the Japanese army began to assemble a heavy army group here.

"This should be the little devil of the two divisions, commander-in-chief, it seems that the little devil has expected our arrival. The little devils have assembled two divisions in Hengxian and Lingshan counties, apparently to prevent us from sabotaging the supply line from Qinzhou Bay to Nanning. ”

Qin Xianliang looked at the map with his eyes, and said with a solemn expression on his face.

"Commander-in-chief, since the little devils have begun to assemble troops in Hengxian and Lingshan counties, then we will attack directly, these more than 40,000 devil soldiers are not too many, as long as our three divisions and troops are combined, we will definitely be able to defeat them."

Zhang Wenbin also immediately said, in his opinion, more than 40,000 devil soldiers are nothing, as long as the Honorary Third Division, the Honorary Fourth Division, and the Security Division are united, they will definitely be able to defeat them.

Sun Weiguo is still looking at the map, and now Hengxian and Lingshan counties have gathered more than 40,000 troops from two divisions of the Japanese army, but it is unknown how many troops there are in the depth of the Japanese army.

At present, the Japanese army is in an advantageous position in terms of troops, and the Japanese army also has aviation to assist in the battle, and if it launches a fierce attack on Hengxian and Lingshan counties at this time, this operation will definitely be very difficult.

"The troops of the 1st Ranger Brigade continue to reconnoitre, and the rest of the troops are on standby in Yulin." Sun Weiguo gave an order, and after not figuring out the situation of the Japanese army, Sun Weiguo decided to hold the troops first.

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief." Huang Yongsheng immediately saluted Sun Weiguo and said.

"The reconnaissance company of the Honorary Third Division launched reconnaissance to Hengxian County, the reconnaissance battalion of the Honorary Fourth Division launched reconnaissance to Lingshan County, and the reconnaissance company of the Security Division launched reconnaissance to Pubei County."

After giving orders to the troops of the 1st Ranger Brigade, Sun Weiguo again gave orders to the commanders of the three divisions.

Hengxian County and Lingshan County and Pubei County are all connected, these three county towns are all in the west of Yulin, and the three county towns are connected together, just Gongwei Qinzhou Bay to Nanning supply line.

After Qin Xianliang, Zhang Wenbin, and Ge Haifeng received the order, they immediately began to salute Sun Weiguo, and then they began to convey Sun Weiguo's order.

At this time, in Guilin, in the Guilin camp, Bai Chongxi and Chen Cheng stood in front of the map, they looked towards the map, and their faces showed solemn expressions.

"Director Bai, Minister Chen, and General Du Yuming, commander of the Fifth Army, sent a telegram, asking when the troops of the Fifth Army could launch an attack on the Japanese troops at Kunlun Pass. Now that the vanguard of the Fifth Army has reached the front, they can immediately be put into action. ”

A senior staff member came to Bai Chongxi and Chen Cheng, he saluted Bai Chongxi and Chen Cheng, and then reported.

"Director Bai, Minister Chen, we have just received a notice from the Military Commission that the Japanese army has established the South China Front Army on Hainan Island, and the First Division of the South China Front Army has arrived in Guangxi through naval transportation. Moreover, according to the report of Commander-in-Chief Sun Weiguo, at least two divisions and regiments appeared in the area of Lingshan County and Hengxian County. ”

As soon as the report of the senior staff member ended, a colonel in charge of communications quickly came to Bai Chongxi and Chen Cheng to report.

After hearing the colonel's report, Bai Chongxi and Chen Cheng showed stunned expressions on their faces, and their eyes immediately looked towards the area of Lingshan County.

"There are two divisions here, Sun Weiguo has only three divisions there, in the face of the two divisions of the Japanese army, he is afraid it will be difficult to deal with, if the Japanese troops defeat Sun Weiguo, and then go to Nanning to participate in the war, the consequences are unimaginable, we have no troops to stop them at all."

"There are quite a few Japanese troops on Hainan Island, and since the Japanese army has sent a Japanese army into Guangxi to fight, it means that they have already made preparations. I think that the number of Japanese troops who entered the battle in Guangxi is probably more than two divisions, and our plan to counterattack the Japanese army in Guangxi this time is probably a mistake. ”

Bai Chongxi and Chen Cheng chatted softly, and their faces showed heavy expressions.

After talking with each other for a while, Bai Chongxi began to say to the colonel's staff officer: "Contact Commander-in-Chief Sun Weiguo immediately and ask him if he is sure to deal with the Japanese troops in front of him, if they can't cut off the combat mission of the supply line from Qinzhou Bay to Nanning according to the plan, then they must at least contain this Japanese army." ”

"Yes, Director Bai." The colonel's staff officer immediately agreed.

"Minister Chen, Commander-in-Chief Sun Weiguo only has three divisions in his hands, so I'm afraid there will be a lot of pressure on them to deal with two divisions of the Japanese army." Bai Chongxi looked at Chen Cheng, and said in a solemn tone, Bai Chongxi's meaning is very simple, he wants to continue to transfer troops from the 47th Group Army to join the Guangxi operation.

"Director Bai, I will report this matter to the chairman immediately, and I believe that the chairman will definitely be able to make a judgment immediately. At present, the situation in Guangxi is beyond our imagination, and we must take action, so we should immediately contact Commander-in-Chief Sun Weiguo to see his opinion. ”

Chen Cheng nodded, he knew that the Japanese army had increased by two divisions, which meant that the Japanese army in Guangxi was faintly beginning to have an advantage in numbers.

It is unknown whether Sun Weiguo can use three divisions to contain the two divisions and regiments of the Japanese army, and Chen Cheng can also feel that the Japanese army may not just send two divisions and regiments to reinforce Guangxi to fight, according to Chen Cheng's understanding of the Japanese army, he feels that the Japanese army's participation in the war in Guangxi is definitely not as simple as two divisions.

Telegrams began to be sent out from the camp in Guilin, and Sun Weiguo's command post was the first to receive the telegrams, and after receiving the telegrams, Sun Weiguo pondered for a while.

Sun Weiguo himself was not sure whether the three divisions could contain the two divisions of the Japanese army, and more importantly, Sun Weiguo also felt that the deployment of the Japanese army's troops in the area of Lingshan County was by no means as simple as two divisions. '
