Since the Battle of Guangzhou, the Japanese army has lost more than 7,000 people, but the Chinese troops have lost more than 10,000 people.

The Japanese army completely controlled the air supremacy, and most of the casualties of the Chinese troops were caused by the Japanese air force, and the Japanese troops also occupied a defensive advantage.

Hearing the report of the chief of staff Tsuchihashi Yuyi, Ando Toshikichi showed a smile on his face, this is only the Japanese army's preliminary estimate of the casualties of the Chinese troops, but Ando Toshiyoshi thinks that the casualties of the Chinese troops may be more, and he even thinks that Sun Weiguo stopped the attack of the troops in the morning, and the troops must have suffered heavy casualties.

With this in mind, a smile appeared on Ando's face, and he looked at the map with a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Chief of Staff, if we can counterattack the Chinese troops now, is it possible for us to drive all the Chinese troops out of Guangzhou? If they can be driven out of the city of Guangzhou, then the air force will be able to carpet bomb the Chinese troops. ”

Toshikichi Ando looked at the chief of staff next to him, Yuki Tsuchihashi, and said with a pensive expression on his face.

"Your Excellency, Commander, judging from the current situation of our troops, I am afraid that it will be difficult for us to drive out the troops in the city. If we attack now, maybe the troops will suffer more casualties, and it is better to hold on to our positions than to attack. ”

Yuki Tsuchihashi had a different view of Ando's optimistic thoughts, and he knew that if the troops attacked now, they would definitely be held back.

When Toshiyoshi Ando heard Yuki Tsuchihashi's words, he had a slightly unhappy expression on his face, after all, he felt that he had won now.

However, thinking of the combat effectiveness of the Chinese troops and his previous understanding of Sun Weiguo, Ando Toshikichi canceled the attack plan.

"Order all units to hold their positions to the death, not to allow the Chinese troops to make any progress, and at the same time contact the Second Wing of the Heavy Artillery and the Eighth Wing of the Heavy Artillery, so that they can immediately cover the positions captured by the Chinese troops, and they must deal the maximum blow to the Chinese troops."

Toshiyoshi Ando looked at the chief of staff, Yuki Tsuchihashi, and said with a serious expression on his face.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Commander." Yuki Tsuchihashi immediately saluted Toshikichi Ando, and he said with a serious expression.

As Toshiyoshi Ando's order began to be conveyed to the heavy artillery unit, the 36 large formal 150MM howitzers of the 2nd Wing of the Japanese Heavy Artillery and the 36 96 Type 150MM howitzers of the 8th Wing of the Japanese Heavy Artillery began to fire.

As the Japanese howitzers began to fire, the two howitzer regiments of the artillery brigade directly under the 47th Army also began to fire, and the artillery of both sides soon began to fire at each other.

Shells continued to hit each other's positions, but the Japanese artillery positions were all reinforced, and even if they were directly hit by shells, they would not suffer much damage.

But when the little devil shells came towards the artillery brigade, the temporarily built artillery brigade positions were simply difficult to withstand.

Some of the artillery began to be damaged, and the commander of the artillery brigade, Liang Zerui, fearing that the howitzers would be destroyed, immediately ordered the artillery to stop the shelling and start the transfer.

Foshan, in the former enemy headquarters of the Fourth Theater of Operations.

Sun Weiguo has already set up the general headquarters of the former enemy here, and Gao Shen Ge Haifeng, Wang Kunyao and others have already come here.

Ge Haifeng's expression on his face was not very good, because so far, the casualties of the Chinese troops have reached more than 12,000, including more than 2,000 casualties of the New Seventh Army, more than 3,000 casualties of the Provisional Ninth Army, and the remaining 7,000 casualties are the casualties of the 62nd Army and the provisional Sixth and 14th Divisions.

Such a casualty figure is very large, after hearing such a casualty figure, Sun Weiguo's brows furrowed tightly, he looked at the map, and fell into deep thought.

At present, in the city of Guangzhou, the troops of the Honorary Third Division of the New Seventh Army and the Honorary Fourth Division of the Provisional Ninth Army are firmly established.

However, the rest of the troops are currently outside the city, and they also face the threat of Japanese aviation.

Of the 12,000 casualties, a large part of which were caused by the Japanese air force, Sun Weiguo knew that he had to deal with the Japanese troops in Guangzhou as soon as possible.

Only when the Japanese troops in Guangzhou are solved, and the battle of Guangzhou is over, the little devil aviation will naturally not fight.

"At ten o'clock in the morning, the troops continued to attack, and strengthened the provisional Sixth Division to the troops of the New Seventh Army, so that the troops of the New Seventh Army could launch a fierce attack, they did not need to solve the Japanese troops first, the most important thing at the moment was to divide the Japanese troops, as long as the little devils were divided, and then they were eliminated one by one."

Sun Weiguo looked at the map, he looked at Gao Shen Ge Haifeng, and said in a solemn tone.

"Commander-in-chief, at present, the casualties of various units are not small, and the troops of the New Seventh Army and the Temporary Ninth Army, which are the main attackers, have been fighting continuously, and now they are very tired."

Ge Haifeng's eyes looked at Sun Weiguo, and he suggested softly.

"I know that if the main attack is placed here in the New Seventh Army, the Honorary Third Division, the Provisional Fifth Division, the Honorary Seventh Division, the Provisional Sixth Division, and the four divisions will really disappoint me."

Sun Weiguo was naturally aware of the current situation of the troops, and he looked at Ge Haifeng with a serious expression on his face.

Now both China and Japan are fighting for the last minute, and whoever can hold on to the end will be able to achieve the final victory.

Sun Weiguo did not ignore the situation of the troops, but he knew that the troops had not suffered too many losses now, but they were a little tired, and he believed that the troops were completely capable of fighting.

"I personally went to Guangzhou to take a look, and now the morale needs to be boosted, and I believe that the troops of the New Seventh Army will be able to complete the tasks assigned to them."

After Sun Weiguo hesitated slightly, he felt that he still needed to go to Guangzhou City in person.

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief." Ge Haifeng immediately saluted Sun Weiguo and said.

Sun Weiguo was going to personally go to Guangzhou to direct the operation, and he knew that the morale of the troops needed to be boosted now, and as long as Sun Weiguo went to the front line, the officers and men would naturally be encouraged when they saw Sun Weiguo, and then the situation would be different, and perhaps the New Seventh Army would be able to take the whole of Guangzhou in one go.

At this time, in Tokyo, Japan, in the base camp of the Japanese army.

The Chief of Staff, Prince Jae-in, had a solemn expression on his face, and he looked towards the map, his eyes showing a strong murderous aura.

If the gaze could kill, maybe all the Japanese officers standing near Prince Zaihito would have been killed at this time.
