Chapter 1248 - To give up Guangdong
The 18th Division had no hope of survival, and Prince Zaihito could not imagine how he would be punished after the 18th Division was surrounded and annihilated.
Nobuyuki Abe's face also showed a solemn expression, and he looked at Prince Zaihito, his brows furrowed tightly.
Even after Prince Bo Jian heard the news, his face was full of consternation, after all, no matter what, they all belonged to the Japanese troops, even if there was a dispute between the navy and the army, and now a division of the army was about to be surrounded and annihilated again, Prince Bo Jian was inevitably a little melancholy.
"Sun Weiguo, it's this Sun Weiguo again, if it's possible, I must completely eliminate him." Prince Jaehion's eyes were red, and he shouted loudly.
"After the 18th Division is encircled and annihilated, the 21st Army in Guangdong will become dangerous, and now we must find a way to rescue the 21st Army troops, if the 21st Army troops are completely wiped out by Sun Weiguo, our Imperial Army will lose face, and we will definitely not allow such a thing to happen."
Nobuyuki Abe looked at Prince Zaihito, and he said with a serious expression on his face.
"I will immediately contact the First Dispatch China Fleet and ask them to immediately enter the South China Sea and cooperate with the 21st Army troops to fight, at present, the First Air Force of the Second Dispatch China Fleet is in the South China Sea and can directly support the 21st Army troops in combat, and judging from the current situation, we can at least protect the 21st Army troops from Guangdong, and we can temporarily transport them to Hainan Island."
Prince Bojan pondered for a moment, and then he made his suggestion.
"Okay, immediately order the main force of the 1st Dispatch China Fleet to enter the South China Sea and assist the 21st Army to evacuate. Immediately send a telegram to the General Headquarters of the Chinese Dispatch Army, asking them to immediately withdraw the troops of the 21st Army from Guangdong, temporarily let the 21st Army go to Hainan Island to rest and recuperate, and wait until the Fifth Division and other troops have solved the Guangxi China troops, and then we will fight back to Guangdong. ”
Prince Zaihito thought about it, he looked at Nobuyuki Abe, and then gave an order.
"It seems that it can only be deployed like this, otherwise once the troops of the 21st Army are besieged by Sun Weiguo's troops, the consequences will be unimaginable, especially the Guards Mixed Brigade is also there in the 21st Army, if something happens to them, the face of the Imperial Army will be completely lost." Nobuyuki Abe nodded, agreeing.
Even though it was one o'clock in the morning, the Japanese army headquarters immediately began to contact the Chinese Dispatch Army Headquarters, and the Japanese army headquarters demanded that Nishio Shouzo immediately send a telegram to the 21st Army, and that the 21st Army troops immediately abandon Guangdong and temporarily withdraw to Hainan Island to rest and recuperate with the help of the navy.
Nishio Shouzo got the order of the base camp, he was dumbfounded, although since the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, there are examples of Chinese troops recovering county towns and towns, but the Japanese army has never taken the initiative to give up a province, Guangdong is about to give up, Nishio Shouzo is not afraid to convey this order.
His heart was full of fear, and he feared that if he was held accountable in the future, he would be punished.
"Is there no other way? Is the Eighteenth Division going to give up like this? What the hell is going on in the base camp, we hope that the base camp can find a way to avoid the total annihilation of the 18th Division, but now they have let the troops of the 21st Army abandon the entire Guangzhou, which is simply a chaotic command. ”
Nishio Shouzo couldn't help but mutter, his face full of disbelief.
"Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, haven't you seen it yet? Once Huaxian is lost and the 18th Division is encircled and annihilated, then the Chinese troops can quickly besiege Guangzhou, with the combat effectiveness of Sun Weiguo's troops, it is only a matter of time before they want to conquer Guangzhou, but if Guangzhou is lost, the 21st Army will be completely annihilated, and in that case, a 21st Army will be annihilated, and this matter will spread out, and the Imperial Army will become a laughing stock, and no one on His Majesty's side will be able to bear this responsibility. Rather than let the 21st Army be wiped out, it is better to lose Guangdong. ”
The chief of staff, Seishiro Itagaki, came to Nishio Shouzo, and he said softly.
When Nishio Shouzo heard Seishiro Itagaki's words, his brows furrowed tightly, and after a moment of silence, he nodded.
Immediately afterwards, Nishio Shouzo began to convey the base camp order, and he demanded that the troops of the 21st Army immediately abandon Guangzhou and immediately break out with the help of the navy.
It was already more than one o'clock in the morning, and at this time, the sound of fighting in Huaxian County was getting stronger and stronger, and the Japanese troops were already at the end of their crossbows.
The Honorary Fourth Division and the Provisional Sixth Division were all withdrawn by Sun Weiguo, and the 14th Division, 18th Division, 151st Division, and 153rd Division of the 54th Army were all thrown into Huaxian by Sun Weiguo to fight.
At half past one in the morning, the dragon troops raided the Japanese 124th Wing headquarters, and the captain of the 124th Wing was killed on the spot, with the cooperation of the Dragon troops, the 151st Division immediately began to divide the 124th Wing, and more than 1,000 people of the 124th Wing were divided everywhere, these devil soldiers could only do their best to garrison, but under the joint attack of the Dragon Army and the 151st Division, it was only a matter of time before they were completely annihilated.
"Commander-in-chief, if we continue to fight like this, I'm afraid that we may not be able to completely capture Huaxian tomorrow, so let's transfer the troops of the 47th Group Army."
In the county seat of Huaxian, Gao Shen Ge Haifeng came to Sun Weiguo, and he suggested softly.
The combat effectiveness of the 54th Army and other units is good, but the armament is still much worse, and the Japanese fortifications are very strong, and these troops have not made great progress.
If Sun Weiguo hadn't left the dragon troops in the county seat, with the combat effectiveness of the 151st Division, I am afraid that it would not have been possible to divide the remaining more than 1,000 devil soldiers of the 124th Wing.
"Let them exercise and exercise, at half past two in the morning, let all the heavy weapons of the Honor Fourth Division and the Provisional Sixth Division enter the city to support them in the battle. By the way, how is the situation in Dongguan, is there any news from the troops of the 62nd Army and the 65th Army? ”
Sun Weiguo took a bite of steamed buns, and he looked at Ge Haifeng and asked.
"Commander-in-chief, there is no news from Dongguan for the time being......" Ge Haifeng just wanted to answer.
However, before Ge Haifeng finished speaking, a staff officer hurriedly ran to Sun Weiguo.
"Commander-in-chief, Huang Tao, commander of the 62nd Army, sent an urgent telegram, the Japanese air force launched a carpet bombing of them, and the little devils in Dongguan took the opportunity to break through, and at present, the 62nd Army is eliminating the puppet army troops, and the 65th Army troops are pursuing the evacuated Japanese troops."
The staff officer came to Sun Weiguo, and he saluted Sun Weiguo and said.
After hearing this news, the expression on Sun Weiguo's face became solemn, and he looked towards the map.
"It seems that the little devil is planning to evacuate to Xinhui Zhongshan, which is close to the South China Sea, and the little devil in Guangzhou may also run." Sun Weiguo muttered to himself.
