On the twelfth day of the morning, the military headquarters of the New Seventh Army was established in Yangshan, and as the army commander Dai Jitao began to convey Sun Weiguo's combat orders, Qin Xianliang's Honorary Third Division began to advance to Guangning, and the deputy division commander Zheng Guanzilin led the Honorary Fourth Regiment to take the lead in carrying out a tentative attack on Guangning, and his colleague Chen Zhengwei's Honorary Seventh Division troops set out from Yangshan and advanced eastward to flank the British and German Japanese troops.

At the same time, the 01st Division in Shaoguan began to launch a direct frontal attack on the British and German Japanese forces, the Honorary Fourth Division launched an attack on Wengyuan, and the troops of the Provisional Fifth Division advanced to Huangpi Town in the central area of Yingde and Wengyuan, preparing to capture Huangpi Town, while Huang Tao, the commander of the 6th Army, had already deployed his troops outside Shaoguan City, waiting for the troops of the Provisional Fifth Division to capture Huangpi Town, they would quickly pass through Huangpi Town and enter Xinfeng to build a defensive position.

The troops of the 151st Division of the 6th Army began to establish a city defense position in Shaoguan, the troops of the 15th Division were stationed in Yangshan and temporarily assigned to the command of the military headquarters of the New Seventh Army, and Zhang Ruigui, the commander of the 6th Army, commanded the troops of the 154th Division and the 186th Division to pass through Yangshan and stationed in Qingyuan to build a defensive position in Qingyuan.

For a time, tens of thousands of troops of the seven divisions began to mobilize with Sun Weiguo's order, and all units advanced rapidly according to the marching route formulated by the former enemy's general headquarters.

At two o'clock in the morning of 14 November, Zhang Wenbin's troops of the Seventh Regiment of the Honor of the Fourth Division were the first to enter Wengyuan, and after the troops of the 104th Division of the Japanese Army abandoned Wengyuan, the commander of the division, Kizaburo Hamamoto, immediately ordered the troops of the 107th Brigade to be stationed in Fogang on the east side of Waiqingyuan, and the 1st Brigade was stationed in Longmen, southeast of Fogang, and the troops of the 104th Division of the Japanese Army abandoned Wengyuan and Xinfeng one after another, and the two brigades and regiments under the division headquarters together with nearly 20,000 men began to quickly evacuate to Fogang and Longmen.

At 20 o'clock in the morning, the 5th Armored Regiment of the vanguard of the 01st Division and the armored infantry regiment began to attack Britain and Germany, and the 18th Division and Brigade of the Japanese Army gave up Britain and Germany after a short resistance.

Almost not long after the Chinese troops launched their attack, the areas occupied by the Japanese army, such as Yingde, Wengyuan, and Xinfeng, were recovered one after another, and the Japanese army only put up symbolic resistance in these areas, and even in some places did not resist at all, and quickly began to withdraw.

By the third day of the morning, the Honor Fourth Division entered Wengyuan, the 6th Army entered Xinfeng, and the 01st Division entered Yingde.

After the headquarters of the deputy commander of the Fourth Theater in Lechang received this battle report, Yu Hanmou, deputy commander of the Fourth Theater, personally sent a telegram of commendation to Sun Weiguo, praising Sun Weiguo for his good command.

Although the Chinese troops easily recovered Wengyuan, Yingde and other towns, Sun Weiguo, who was in Shaoguan, had already smelled a hint of danger.

"Commander-in-chief, something is wrong in the battle ahead, even if the devils are weak, they can't be defeated with one blow, I think there must be something wrong here."

Zhao Lerong looked at the messages submitted by the various ministries, his brows furrowed tightly, and a solemn expression appeared on his face.

"The Honorable 3rd Division and the troops of the 6th Army have not yet made progress in Quang Ninh and Qingyuan, and order all units to temporarily suspend operations, and at the same time send a telegram to the troops of the Honorable 3rd Division and the 6th Army, so that they can advance cautiously and contact friendly forces in the rear at any time to prevent falling into the ambush of the Japanese army."

Sun Weiguo stared at the map, he couldn't figure out what the devil was going to do for a while, he hesitated slightly, and then began to give orders.

If the Japanese army even gave up on Guangning and Qingyuan, then Sun Weiguo ordered the troops to besiege Guangzhou at full speed, and if the Chinese troops encountered Japanese resistance in Guangning and Qingyuan, Sun Weiguo would send the main force to knock a gap and start a siege on the Japanese army.

Guangzhou, in the headquarters of the 1st Army of the Japanese Army.

Lieutenant General Commander Toshiyoshi Ando was standing in front of the map at this time, with a solemn expression on his face, he was waiting for news from the front.

"Your Excellency Commander, the troops of the 106th Division have withdrawn to Quang Ninh, the 18th Division has withdrawn to Qingyuan, and the 104th Division has also withdrawn to Fogang and Longmen."

The chief of staff of the 1st Army Major General came to the headquarters, and after saluting Toshiyoshi Ando, he immediately reported, and an excited smile appeared on his face.

Judging from the map, Zhaoqing, Guangning, Qingyuan, Fogang, Longmen, and Huizhou firmly protected Guangzhou, Foshan, and Dongguan, and these six places were the first defensive positions set up by Ando Toshiyoshi, and the Japanese 106th Division pursued to defend the line from Zhaoqing to Guangning, the 18th Division mainly defended Guangning to Qingyuan, Qingyuan to Fogang, and the 104th Division mainly defended Fogang to Longmen.

At the same time, the headquarters of the 106th Division of the Japanese Army was stationed in Zhaoqing, the headquarters of the 18th Division was stationed in Qingyuan, the headquarters of the 104th Division was stationed in Huizhou, the Guards Mixed Brigade was stationed in Foshan, and the 8th Division was stationed in Guangzhou and Dongguan respectively.

"Mixi, order all units to be ready for battle and get in touch with the command at any time. Inform the 106th Division Lieutenant General Takuya Kimura that they will report the battle situation at any time, and if anything unexpected happens, all responsibility will be borne by Takuya Kimura. ”

probably knew that the troops of the 106th Division were particularly unreliable, and Ando Toshikichi deliberately emphasized it.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Commander." The chief of staff of the major general immediately agreed.

Quang Ninh, the position of the 106th Brigade of the 111th Division of the Japanese Army.

The Japanese army set up a very clever position, Quang Ninh is where the main position of the Japanese army is located, where the 111th Brigade and the 11th Wing are assembled, and the 0th and 1st Brigades of the mortar are strengthened, while the 1st Brigade of the 147th Wing of the Japanese Army is two kilometers out of the main position, equipped with two machine gun squadrons and two artillery squadrons of the 2nd Brigade and the 3rd Brigade of the 147th Wing.

The 2nd and 3rd Brigades of the 147th Wing were assembled 5,000 meters behind the main position in Quang Ninh, and 2,000 meters behind the main position, the field artillery wing of the 106th Division was deployed.

The Japanese army set up two kilometers in front of the main position, there is a long barbed wire fence, and buried a lot of mines and anti-tank mines, behind the minefield, there are pillboxes, bunkers, light and heavy machine gun fire, semi-underground artillery fire, these bunkers and bunkers and other firepower are connected with each other, and there are communication trenches responsible for the connection.

The 1st Brigade reinforced two machine-gun squadrons and two artillery squadrons, and they had 36 Type 92 heavy machine guns and six Type 92 infantry guns.

At this time, the troops of the Honorary Fourth Regiment of the Honorary Third Division came to the front of the Japanese position, which was personally commanded by Deputy Division Commander Zheng Guanzilin.

As friendly troops successively captured Yingde, Wengyuan, Xinfeng and other places, the officers and soldiers of the Fourth Regiment of Honor were a little anxious, even though there was an order from Sun Weiguo to advance, but the officers and soldiers still quickly advanced to Quang Ninh, and after arriving outside Guangning, the Fourth Regiment of Honor immediately sent an infantry company to conduct reconnaissance and attack.
