Nishio Shouzo looked at Itagaki Seishiro, he couldn't help but show a little puzzled expression on his face, he really couldn't think of any other way to rescue the Second Guard Wing, he stared at Itagaki Seishiro, waiting for Itagaki Seishiro to say what he thought.

Seishiro Itagaki looked at Nishio Shouzo, and with a calm expression on his face, he came directly to Nishio Shouzo.

Although there are still more than 30,000 reinforcements from the 104th Division and the Kimura Detachment on the periphery, both Nishio Shouzo and Itagaki Seishiro know that even if these two troops can rush to Guangzhou, they may not be able to rescue the Second Guards Wing in the city.

If it were other troops, it would be encircled and annihilated by the Chinese troops, but this unit was numbered with guards in front of it, and this was the Emperor's Guard Force, and if this unit was completely annihilated in Guangzhou, it would cause a huge sensation in the international community, so the General Headquarters of the Chinese Dispatch Army would definitely find a way to rescue this force.

"Itagaki-kun, do you have other ideas, tell me what you think, now as long as we can rescue the Second Guards Wing, we can pay a certain price. In any case, we must not be able to watch the 2nd Guards Wing be completely annihilated. ”

Nishio Shouzo looked at Seishiro Itagaki with a serious expression on his face and said in a solemn tone.

"Your Excellency Commander, the Chinese army has more than 100,000 troops in Guangzhou, including Sun Weiguo's elite troops, if we take force to rescue, I am afraid that we are not too sure, but the war can be negotiated at the same time, if we negotiate with the Chinese army, maybe they will choose to compromise. So I think now we can negotiate with the Chinese troops, as long as they can let the 2nd Guards Wing leave, and that's it. ”

Seishiro Itagaki looked at Nishio Shouzo, and he said with a solemn expression on his face.

After hearing Seishiro Itagaki's idea, Nishio Shouzo couldn't help but show a surprised expression on his face, and he couldn't help but look at Seishiro Itagaki with his eyes.

"Itagaki-kun, have you ever thought that if this matter is spread, it will have a great impact on us, and Sun Weiguo is cunning by nature, and it is probably not beneficial to negotiate with him. Sun Weiguo was very hostile to the Imperial Army, and judging from his character, he might not agree to let the Second Guards Wing leave. ”

Nishio Shouzo's brows furrowed tightly, and he looked at Seishiro Itagaki as he had to admit that Seishiro Itagaki had a bold idea.

"Your Excellency Commander, you won't forget, when we were at the Lugou Bridge in North China, the Imperial Army was not large enough to fight against the North China China Army, but we used the method of negotiation to temporarily delay the China Army, so as to buy time for reinforcements. Even if this negotiation does not succeed, we will be able to buy time, and I believe that with the support of the powerful aviation of the Imperial Army, the troops in Guangzhou will definitely be able to break through. ”

Seishiro Itagaki had a serious expression on his face, and he looked over to Nishio Shouzo and said.

He didn't plan to continue to let the 104th Division and the Kimura detachment go to reinforce Guangzhou, and Seishiro Itagaki was preparing to negotiate to free the Second Guards Wing.

At the same time, Itagaki Seishiro was also prepared to use the air force unit, which could also provide air cover when negotiations could not proceed, so as to open a breakthrough road for the Japanese army in Guangzhou.

"The troops of the 104th Division, the Kimura detachment, were ordered to immediately evacuate back to Hainan Island through naval units and abandon the rescue of the Japanese troops in Guangzhou. The 1st Air Force, the 15th Air Force, and the 21st Separate Air Force were ordered to prepare for sorties. Let Kimura Takuya negotiate with Sun Weiguo in the name of the Imperial Army, and at the same time order the intelligence agency to mobilize all forces to try to get all parties to come forward to put pressure on Sun Weiguo, so that he had to let the Second Guards Wing leave. ”

Nishio Shouzo glanced at the map, and with a serious expression on his face, he gave the order directly.

After listening to Itagaki Seishiro's advice, Nishio Shouzo knew that this was the only way now, because as Itagaki Seishiro said, even if the 104th Division and the Kimura Detachment could reach the outskirts of Guangzhou, they might not be able to rescue the Second Guards Wing in Guangzhou.

Negotiating with the Chinese forces was undoubtedly the best option now, and Nishio Toshizo accepted Itagaki Seishiro's suggestion.

At the same time, Nishio Shouzo sent Takuya Kimura, the former commander of the 106th Division, who had just been disbanded, and he felt in his heart that the 106th Division was simply a broom star, and no good things would happen anywhere they were stationed.

"Hi, Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief." After receiving the order from Nishio Shouzo, Seishiro Itagaki immediately saluted and said.

At this time, in the city of Guangzhou, the troops of the New Seventh Army and the Provisional Ninth Army had begun to concentrate all their artillery to cover the positions of the Japanese army.

One by one, the shells hit the devil soldiers' positions, and the little devils are all gathered here in the second wing of the heavy artillery, they rely on the artillery positions to dodge, and the heavy artillery on the artillery positions now dare not continue to shoot, they are afraid that once their positions are exposed, they will be fiercely counterattacked.

The face of the commander of the 21st Army, Toshiyoshi Ando, became extremely gloomy, and he knew that his final time had come.

He is now ordering his troops to hold their positions, and he is ready to rely on heavy artillery positions to fight a final decisive battle with the Chinese troops.

However, even at this time, he still asked the commander of the Major General Brigade of the Guards Mixed Brigade Takeshi Suida to assemble the 2nd Guards Wing and the 3rd Brigade of the 3rd Guards Field Artillery Wing, which was deployed in the center by Ando Toshikishi, and he was ready to let this unit break out if he had the opportunity.

At 3 p.m. on 17 November, more than 60,000 troops from eight divisions, including the Honorary 3rd Division, the Honorary 7th Division, the Provisional 5th Division, the 6th Provisional Division, the Honorary 4th Division of the Provisional Ninth Army, the 11th New Division, the 14th Division of the 54th Army, and the 18th Division, began to assemble near the Japanese positions.

However, after the former enemy's general headquarters issued a suspension of the attack, the divisional units stopped attacking one after another, and the division commanders immediately began to contact the former enemy's general headquarters to inquire about the situation.

But they did not receive any decent answer, they only received an order to temporarily stop the attack and stand by the battle order.

As for why the former enemy's general headquarters issued such an order, these army and division commanders naturally do not know.

At this time, on a high ground far from the former enemy's general headquarters, there was a temporary command post, and at this time, several men in suits were already sitting on chairs in this command post.
