Xu Yongchang, head of the Military Command Department, once suggested that troops of Sun Weiguo's 47th Group Army be transferred to Guangxi to fight, but this idea was vetoed by the chairman of the committee??? ?· １?Ｋ?Ａ Ｎ?Ｓ Ｈ?Ｕ?· ＣＯＭ

However, with the loss of Nanning, Guangxi, the Japanese troops were ready to be stationed for a long time, and Bai Chongxi, director of the Guilin camp, was preparing to launch a counterattack against the Japanese army, Bai Chongxi asked for a lot of elite troops from the chairman of the committee, and the Central Army, which was regarded as a treasure by the committee members, was the descendant of the Fifth Army, the 36th Army of the Central Army, and the 99th Army of the Central Army, and the 47th Group Army, which the chairman did not plan to transfer, also began to loosen their mouths, and the chairman promised to transfer two to four divisions from the 47th Group Army to support the Guangxi operation.

Bai Chongxi was very sure of Sun Weiguo's ability, but now Bai Chongxi wanted to know how many troops Sun Weiguo's 47th Group Army could send to Guangxi to participate in the war.

"Director Bai, I just spoke with the chairman on the phone, according to the information we have just received, the Japanese army has sent additional troops on Hainan Island, and the number of Japanese troops stationed on Hainan Island is at least 200,000, according to the chairman's preliminary judgment, the Japanese troops on Hainan Island are likely to plan to counterattack Guangdong, so he hopes that the main force of the 47th Group Army will still stay in Guangdong."

When Chen Cheng heard Bai Chongxi ask Sun Weiguo how many troops he could send to Guangxi to participate in the war, he immediately said.

Before Sun Weiguo came to Guilin, Chen Cheng received a phone call from the chairman of the committee, who already knew the deployment of the Japanese army on Hainan Island, and he also judged that this Japanese army was very likely to counterattack Guangdong, so he did not want too many troops of the 47th Group Army to participate in the Guangxi operation.

If Guangzhou, which had just been recovered, was occupied by the Japanese army again, there would be no place to put the chairman's face, not to mention that here in Guangxi, the chairman of the committee also invested a lot of elites. １ＫＡＮＳＨＵ·ＣＯＭ

In his view, the 47 th Group Army could only send at most one division to participate in the Guangxi operation, and it was enough to boost morale.

As for the main force of the 47th Group Army, it must stay in Guangdong, after all, if the main force of the 47th Group Army is transferred and left, then once the Japanese army counterattacks Guangdong, it is afraid that it will not be able to organize the Japanese army by relying solely on the 12th Group Army in Guangzhou.

"Minister Chen, the chairman of the committee can send as many troops of the 47th Group Army as he can to participate in the war. Minister Chen, you are also very clear, the main force of our Gui Army is fighting in other provinces, and there is no way to return to help, although the Fifth Army and other troops are all elite, but the Japanese army is the Fifth Division this time, and there are so many Japanese troops on Hainan Island, they can also be reinforced at any time. We must not only consider the number of Japanese troops, but also prepare to block the Japanese reinforcements. ”

When Bai Chongxi heard what Chen Cheng said, he couldn't help but show a stunned expression on his face, before the chairman of the committee promised him that he could transfer two or four divisions of the 47th Group Army to participate in the battle, and Bai Chongxi was also ready to send four divisions of Sun Weiguo to come over to participate in the battle, but when he heard Chen Cheng's words, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

looked at Chen Cheng, and the expression on Bai Chongxi's face was not very good.

"Director Bai, Commander-in-Chief Sun, you see how the two divisions of the 47th Group Army are transferred, so I will also have an explanation on the chairman's side."

Chen Cheng could feel that Bai Chongxi was not very happy in his heart, so he said cautiously.

According to the chairman's intentions, only one division of the 47th Group Army could be transferred to participate in the battle, but Chen Cheng considered the current situation, and he felt that if only one division of the 47th Group Army was transferred to participate in the war, Bai Chongxi would have to turn his face on the spot, so he thought about it and directly said that two divisions and troops would be transferred to participate in the battle.

Hearing that two divisions were dispatched over, Bai Chongxi's brows still furrowed slightly, while Sun Weiguo said directly: "Minister Chen, Director Bai, our 47th Group Army can send three divisions to participate in the battle, and at the same time, I will also form a battle group that gathers armored troops, cavalry, and artillery to rush to participate in the battle." ”

Seeing that Bai Chongxi and Chen Cheng were about to turn their faces, Sun Weiguo immediately stood up and said.

At present, the 47 th Group Army has two armies, nine divisions, and one brigade under its jurisdiction, and Sun Weiguo decided to send three divisions and one battle group to Guangxi to participate in the war.

Sun Weiguo knew very well that as long as the battle on the Guangxi side started, the Japanese army on Hainan Island would definitely come over, so he had to prepare in advance.

Otherwise, once the Japanese troops on Hainan Island come in and their own troops are still in Guangdong, and if a critical situation arises in Guangxi, the chairman will definitely send his own troops to participate in the war again.

Therefore, after considering this, Sun Weiguo decided to send his troops to Guangxi to fight in advance, and try to assist the friendly troops in Guangxi to fight and eliminate the Japanese troops in Guangxi.

"Commander-in-Chief Sun, if you do this, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the chairman to explain." Chen Cheng heard that Sun Weiguo was going to send three divisions over to participate in the battle, and he said in a solemn tone.

He was very clear about the chairman's intentions, and the chairman just wanted to send a division to Guangxi to participate in the war, and now Sun Weiguo was going to send three divisions and a battle group over in one go, and if the chairman knew about it, he would definitely not be happy.

"Minister Chen, I will personally explain to the chairman of the committee, once the battle in Guangxi starts, I expect that the Japanese army on Hainan Island will definitely come over, and I will send troops over in advance just in case, if there is a crisis situation in Guangxi, only our 47th Group Army can be mobilized at present."

Sun Weiguo looked at Chen Cheng, and he explained in a calm tone.

When Chen Cheng heard Sun Weiguo's words, he stared at the map and thought about it, then he nodded and agreed.

"At the same time, I will transfer the first battalion of the armored regiment of the 201st division, and the third battalion of the armored artillery regiment with the first brigade of the rangers to form a rapid battle group and put into operation, I will personally command the deployment of these troops, and I will also send a howitzer regiment to participate in the battle."

After Sun Weiguo saw Chen Cheng nodding, he looked at Bai Chongxi and said directly.

He transferred one division from the New Seventh Army and two divisions from the Ninth Army, and also transferred the 1st Ranger Brigade directly under the Special Operations Command of the Group Army to participate in the battle with armored and artillery units.

With the addition of a howitzer regiment in the artillery division, there are 40,000 of these troops, and of course the establishment of the artillery division was privately expanded by Sun Weiguo, and on the surface, Sun Weiguo naturally would not say anything about the establishment of the artillery division.

"That's good, I believe that with the three divisions of Commander-in-Chief Sun, there will not be much problem in completely annihilating the Japanese army in Guangxi. Minister Chen, Commander-in-Chief Sun, I immediately contacted Zhang Fakui, commander of the Fourth Theater of Operations, and asked him to come over immediately. ”

Hearing Sun Weiguo's words, Bai Chongxi had a smile on his face, and he hurriedly summoned the staff officer to contact Zhang Fakui, the commander of the Fourth Theater.
