Chapter 1264: Naval Support Drawn

Prince Zaihito's face was not very good at this time, and since he received the telegram from the General Headquarters of the Chinese Dispatch Army, he was a little painful.

The Guards Mixed Brigade, consisting of the 1st Guards Wing, the 2nd Guards Wing, the 3rd Guards Field Artillery Wing, and the 8th Heavy Artillery Wing, is now besieged in Guangzhou by Chinese troops.

He knew that if this force was surrounded and annihilated by the Chinese troops, not to mention that the emperor would definitely reprimand him harshly, even he himself might not be able to accept it.

Glancing at the officers in the base camp, Prince Zairen hoped that they would be able to think of some way at this time, but these officers lowered their heads one after another, and no one dared to look at Prince Zairen's eyes, they knew in their hearts how bad the situation was now.

"The Chinese army actually surrounded Guangzhou, I really didn't expect them to be so powerful, what is the origin of this Sun Weiguo, how can he be so strong. And how Sun Weiguo's troops could have such sophisticated weapons is really incomprehensible. ”

"In any case, now not only the troops of the 38th Division are dangerous, but even the Guards Mixed Brigade has become very dangerous, if the Guards Mixed Brigade is completely annihilated by the Chinese troops, the consequences will be unimaginable, I really didn't expect the Imperial Army to fall into such a predicament."

"Isn't there anything that can be done? The distance between the troops of the 11th Army is too far, and they are afraid that it will be difficult for them to arrive even if they are reinforced, after all, the Ninth Theater of Operations in China is fighting against the troops of the 11th Army, and the only thing that the 11th Army can support is the aviation unit. ”

"It's not impossible now, as long as the Fifth Division and the Garrison Mixed Brigade that fought in Guangxi can be transferred back to Guangzhou, and let them add the 104th Division and the 106th Division, maybe they can save the Guangzhou troops, but the navy side, I'm afraid it won't easily agree to let the Fifth Division and the Garrison Mixed Brigade return to Guangzhou, right?"

The officers began to talk softly, they also wanted to relieve the crisis of the Japanese army in Guangzhou, but they had no way.

The 11th Army is the closest force, but even if the 11th Army is the closest, they still have to confront the troops of the 9th Theater of Operations, and it is simply impossible for them to reinforce the past.

For these Japanese officers in the base camp, the only way was to have the Fifth Division and the Garrison Mixed Brigade return to Guangzhou immediately, but this was absolutely impossible.

"Bring Prince Bojan here at once, I have important matters to discuss with him." Prince Jaehion had a serious expression on his face, and he looked at the adjutant on the side and said.

"Hi, Your Excellency." The adjutant immediately saluted Prince Jaehito and said.

The adjutant left the room quickly, and in a short time Prince Bojan arrived, with a smile on his face.

He was well aware of the battle in Guangdong, and the situation of the army was very bad, which gave Prince Bo Jian, the chief of the military command department, the capital to ridicule the army.

"Prince Bo Jian, now that the Chinese troops have surrounded Guangzhou, the Guards Mixed Brigade and the 38th Division have fallen into the encirclement of the Chinese troops. Now we must stop the operation in Guangxi and let the troops of the Fifth Division and the troops of the mixed brigade stationed in Tun immediately return to Guangzhou, otherwise the mixed brigade of the guards and the troops of the 38th Division will very likely be completely annihilated. ”

Prince Zairen saw the smile on Prince Bojian's face, and he said with a straight face and a solemn tone.

Even Prince Bojan, who wanted to see the army's jokes, heard the news, and the expression on his face not only began to take advantage of it.

The Guards Mixed Brigade was the force that protected the Emperor's safety, and if this force was annihilated, the consequences would be unimaginable, and he would not be able to bear this responsibility.

If the emperor pursues it and Prince Zaihito sues the navy for not saving him, then this responsibility is not something that Prince Bojian can bear.

The Guards Mixed Brigade Unit is different from other army units, and Prince Bo Jian, another army unit, can see death without saving him, but he can't see death without saving this unit.

"I will immediately contact the Hainan Island Naval Base and ask them to immediately dispatch marines to Guangdong to fight, first strengthen the attack capability of these troops, and let them contain and attack the Chinese troops as much as possible, and at the same time, the Second Combined Air Force will deploy the main force in Guangdong, strengthen the operations of the First Air Force, and carry out carpet bombing of the Chinese troops, as long as the Chinese troops cannot take Guangzhou, then they will definitely take the initiative to evacuate."

Prince Bojan looked at Prince Jaehion, and he said with a serious expression on his face.

"The independent No. 1 Infantry Corps on Hainan Island, the No. 1 Special Marine Corps of the Navy, the No. 2 Special Marine Corps of the Navy, and the No. 3 Special Marine Corps of the Navy will be transported to Guangzhou first, and at the same time the number of the 106th Division will be revoked, and all the remaining troops of the 106th Division will be replenished to the 104th Division."

Prince Jaehito nodded, and he gave the order directly.

At this time, Prince Bo Jian still did not plan to let the Fifth Division and the Garrison Mixed Brigade return from Guangxi, and Prince Na Zairen did not plan to continue to talk about this matter, but Prince Bo Jian transferred the Hainan Island Marine Corps, and Prince Na Zairen directly sent all the defenders of Hainan Island.

Nothing is important now, and in Prince Jaehion's opinion, as long as he can rescue the guards mixed brigade, even if there are big losses, it is worthwhile.

"Send a telegram to the commander of the 21st Army, Toshiyoshi Ando, and ask Toshiyoshi Ando to ensure the safety of the Guards Mixed Brigade, and absolutely not let the Guards Mixed Brigade encounter a devastating blow."

Prince Jaehito looked at the adjutant beside him, and he immediately began to give orders.

Now the first step is to hold the Guards Mixed Brigade, not to let the Guards Mixed Brigade suffer a devastating blow, and then use the 104th Division and other troops to rescue.

"Hi, Your Excellency." The adjutant immediately saluted and said.

"Immediately contact the navy and ask them to immediately transport the 1st Independent Infantry Brigade, the 1st Navy Special Marine Unit, the 2nd Navy Special Marine Corps, and the 3rd Navy Special Marine Corps to Guangzhou to support the army units in the operation." At the same time, Prince Bojan also began to give orders.

The first independent infantry team has five brigades, an engineer team, and an artillery team, with more than 5,000 people, and three special marines with 6,000 people, and the Japanese army directly dispatched more than 10,000 people at one time to start reinforcements.

However, at this time in Chongqing, in the official residence of the chairman of the committee, the chairman of the committee had already begun to summon He Yingqin, minister of military affairs, and Xu Yongchang, director of the military command department, to come to his official residence.

Now the chairman of the committee has received the news that a unit of the Japanese Guards Division is stationed in Guangzhou to fight, and after learning this news, the chairman of the committee is very excited.
