Sun Weiguo came to the outskirts of Huaxian this time, he was ready to personally command the troops of the Provisional Ninth Army and the 54th Army to launch a night attack overnight, and no matter what the price was paid tonight, Sun Weiguo planned to conquer Huaxian.

As long as Huaxian is conquered, the three strongholds on the periphery of Guangzhou controlled by the Japanese army can be opened, and the Chinese troops can completely enter Guangzhou to fight through here.

However, if you want to conquer Huaxian, it is not a simple matter, so far the 54th Army and the Provisional Ninth Army have paid more than 1,000 people, especially the Fifth Armored Regiment, their tanks have also suffered losses, how to take Huaxian is a very difficult thing for Chen Lie, the commander of the 54th Army, and Yin Jinshan, the commander of the Provisional Ninth Army.

Yin Jinshan was the first to express his opinion, he believed that it was difficult to overcome the Japanese positions by relying on armored troops and infantry alone, and he hoped that infantry, armored troops, and artillery could be used to coordinate operations and take the Japanese positions in one fell swoop.

"Commander-in-chief, can we let the troops advance to a distance of 500 meters from the Japanese position, and then build fortifications here, and then use this as a basis to gradually advance to the Japanese position, as long as there are fortifications, we can set up machine gun positions, artillery positions for cover, and the infantry can also be well supported."

As Yin Jinshan's words fell, Chen Lie, the commander of the 54th Army, looked at Sun Weiguo, and said with a solemn expression on his face.

After Sun Weiguo listened to Yin Jinshan and Chen Lie's suggestions successively, he looked at the map with a thoughtful expression on his face.

After nodding slightly, Chen Feng came to the sand table, at this time Sun Weiguo was in the military headquarters of the Ninth Army of Yin Jinshan, where there was a simulated sand table in Huaxian County.

After coming to this sand table, Sun Weiguo stared at the sand table, he pondered for a while, and then said:

"At twelve o'clock in the evening, the mountain artillery battalion directly under the Fourth Division of Honor, the infantry artillery company directly under the three honorary regiments, the weapon support company, and the machine gun company directly under each battalion all advanced to 700 meters away from the Japanese position on the east side of Huaxian, where an artillery position and machine gun position were established, and the armored fifth regiment concentrated the main force to launch an attack on the Japanese position, and the armored artillery regiment set up an artillery position two kilometers away from the Japanese position, and the mechanized infantry regiment and the armored infantry regiment followed the action of the armored fifth regiment, and quickly broke into the Japanese position, and quickly disrupted the deployment of the Japanese army."

"The Honor Fourth Division's Honor Seventh Regiment, Honor the Eighth Regiment, and the Honor Ninth Regiment are on standby, once the 201st Division troops break through to the Japanese position, the three regiments will immediately be put into battle, all pressed over, and quickly capture the Japanese position, as long as we capture the Japanese position on the east side, then the Japanese troops in other directions will definitely quickly reinforce over, and the troops of the 14th Division and the 18th Division of the 54th Army will strike at the Japanese reinforcements to prevent them from approaching the position on the east side."

Sun Weiguo picked up the baton, and he directly gave the battle order.

Unlike the previous 54th Army's main attack on the north end of Huaxian County, and the Temporary Ninth Army's main attack on the east side of Huaxian, this time Sun Weiguo gathered all the two armies here on the east side.

He concentrated all the firepower of the Provisional Ninth Army, decided to tear a hole from the east side to break through, and then disrupt the deployment of the Japanese army, so as to disperse and annihilate the peripheral forces of the Japanese army, and finally attack Huaxian.

"The artillery brigade is gathered together, and the two howitzer regiments want to concentrate their firepower on me to destroy the Japanese fortifications, don't be afraid to run out of shells, as long as we take Huaxian, our follow-up operations will be much smoother." In addition, the dragon troops will cooperate with you in this battle, they will follow you in the operation, and then quickly enter the Japanese defensive positions to support you in the battle as much as possible. ”

Sun Weiguo looked at Yin Jinshan and Chen Lie, and he continued.

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief." Yin Jinshan and Chen Lie immediately saluted Sun Weiguo and said.

"You guys go back and prepare, tonight at one o'clock in the morning, start the onslaught on Huaxian." Sun Weiguo gave an order and said.

"Yes." Yin Jinshan and Chen Lie began to walk outside.

After leaving the headquarters, the two began to return to their troops to prepare, while Sun Weiguo was still staring at the sand table.

This time he gathered two corps and three infantry divisions, an armored division, an artillery brigade and a special forces to attack Huaxian, Sun Weiguo didn't know if these troops would be able to conquer Huaxian as planned, but he knew that time was running out for himself, once this attack was frustrated, then morale would definitely be extremely low.

Sun Weiguo thought about it, and although the Military Commission successively rejected his telegrams requesting support from the Air Force, Sun Weiguo still sent a telegram to the Military Commission again, hoping that the Air Force would be dispatched.

Even if the air force unit just comes to circle in the sky to boost morale.

However, Sun Weiguo felt that with the character of the chairman, he might not agree easily, but Sun Weiguo still had to send this telegram.

Huaxian, in the headquarters of the 18th Division of the Japanese Army, there is no fighting between China and Japan now, but for Lieutenant General Changna Joichi, he can clearly smell the smell of gunsmoke.

As soon as Gyuna Cheng knew very well that a big battle was about to happen, he stared at the map in the division headquarters for a while, and Jiuna Cheng left the division headquarters with the chief of staff of the division and regiment at the beginning.

He first inspected the defensive positions of the 35th Brigade in the county seat, and then went to the field artillery wing to inspect the artillery positions.

THE FIELD ARTILLERY WING OF THE EIGHTEENTH DIVISION WAS EQUIPPED WITH 36 75MM FIELD GUNS AND 12 75MM MOUNTAIN GUNS, AND THESE 48 GUNS PERFORMED WELL IN TODAY'S OPERATION AND EFFECTIVELY SUPPORTED THE 23 WING IN THE OPERATION.

"Your Excellency the division commander, our artillery positions are very hidden, and it is difficult for the artillery fire of the Chinese troops to come through. Please rest assured, Your Excellency the division commander, that as long as our artillery is present, the Chinese troops will not want to conquer the county seat of Huaxian, and we will inflict heavy losses on the Chinese troops here. ”

The captain of the field artillery wing looked at Jiuna City, and he said confidently.

"I hope you can continue to cooperate in the battle and bring heavy losses to the Chinese troops. As long as we hold out here for a while, and the Chinese troops are dealt a heavy blow, they will naturally withdraw, and at that time, you will all be heroes of the Empire. ”

As soon as Jiuna Cheng heard the words of the captain of the Great Zuo United, he patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction.

After inspecting the artillery positions, Gyuna Chengichi ventured to the outlying positions of the county, and he began to inspect the positions of the troops of the 23rd Brigade.

After the commander of the 23rd Brigade Major General Hara Morisantoku knew that Jiuna Joichi was coming, he personally accompanied Kyuna Joichi to inspect.

"Your Excellency the division commander, when we took Huaxian, there were still some people in China, in order to stop the heavy artillery shelling of China, you can see if you can put all these people in the position, so that the troops will naturally not dare to use heavy artillery to bombard, and they will also have concerns when attacking."

While inspecting the troops, the commander of the 23 Brigade Major General Hara Mori Santoku made a suggestion to Gyuna Joichi.
