In the distance from Sun Weiguo's lookout is the South China Sea, and Hainan Island is on this sea area, and the troops of the New Seventh Army stationed in Zhanjiang can even look at Hainan Island.

It's just a pity that almost all the troops of the Honorary Third Division of the New Seventh Army stationed in Xuwen County can see the devil soldiers on Hainan Island, but because there is no navy, they can only look at the ocean and sigh.

"Sun Weiguo, are you still unhappy? You've won a battle, doesn't that make you happy? ”

When Sun Weiguo was secretly sighing, American reporter Catherine came to Sun Weiguo, and she stared at Sun Weiguo with a pair of beautiful eyes and said.

Sun Weiguo shook his head, he would not say the helplessness in his heart, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.

Catherine began to interview Sun Weiguo, and Sun Weiguo did not refuse, and directly accepted Catherine's interview.

On November 24, 1939, while Sun Weiguo and Lawrence were negotiating, the troops of the Japanese Fifth Division, which had already captured Nanning, Guangxi, took action again.

Lieutenant General Imamura, commander of the Fifth Division, used the 9th Brigade to attack Kunlun Pass, Longzhou, and other places, while the 21st Brigade was responsible for the security work in Nanning, and the mixed brigade units stationed in Tun, which fought with the 5th Division, were responsible for the defense of Qinzhou Bay.

As the 9th Brigade began to advance towards Kunlun Pass, its vanguard 21st Wing began to engage in fierce battles with the 200th Division of the elite Fifth Army of the Central Army, which had been reinforced.

The fifth division of the Japanese army can be called the elite of the army, from 37 years after entering the Chinese battlefield, almost all of them are fierce battles on the front line, and the elite fifth army of the Central Army is a national treasure, there are currently two mechanized troops in the Chinese army, one of which is the 201st division in the hands of Sun Weiguo, and the other is the fifth army.

The Fifth Army has more than 50,000 troops, which is almost half of the strength of the 47th Group Army, and in the chairman's mind, the position of the Fifth Army is obviously more important.

Both China and Japan dispatched elites, and when the two troops collided together, a fierce battle was inevitable.

However, the Japanese army had aviation support, and the Fifth Army from hundreds of miles away to reinforce only the 200th Division and 600th Regiment arrived, after a fierce battle, the 600th Regiment suffered heavy casualties, the regiment commander and two deputy regiment commanders were killed, Kunlun Pass and Longzhou successively fell into the hands of the Japanese Ninth Brigade, and by the 27th, Zhennan Pass on the Sino-Vietnamese border also began to fall into the hands of the Japanese army.

As the Japanese army began to occupy Nanning, Kunlun Pass, Longzhou and other areas one after another, the commander of the Fifth Division, Lieutenant General Imamura, began to order the troops not to continue advancing.

At this time, as Nanning and other areas began to be occupied, the strategic objectives set by the Japanese army had been fully realized, and the southern part of Guangxi had been completely mastered, and they had also opened up a passage into Southeast Asia, and the Japanese troops could directly enter the Zhennan Pass on the Sino-Vietnamese border to fight in Southeast Asia, which was in line with the interests of the navy.

The Japanese troops stopped fighting in Guangxi, and the 21st Brigade of the 5th Division of the Japanese Army was responsible for the garrison of Nanning, while the two wings of the 9th Brigade were to garrison Kunlun Pass and Longzhou respectively, and the garrison of the mixed brigade was even more difficult, they were not only responsible for guarding the long coastline of Qinzhou Bay, but also responsible for guarding the supply line between Qinzhou Bay and Nanning.

At this time, near Nanning, Guangxi, six divisions of the Guangxi Gui Army had already participated in the battle under the command of Bai Chongxi, director of the Guilin camp, and the Gui Army troops began to attack and harass Nanning.

The Fifth Division was nailed to Nanning like a nail, which posed a certain threat to the rear of the Southwest, and the Chinese troops naturally would not allow it to be stationed here.

On December 1, 1939, the General Headquarters of the Chinese Dispatch Army in Nanjing, Nishio Shouzo, began to officially issue an order that the First Fleet of the Navy, which had assisted in the operation around Hainan Island, began to return to the Wuhan area, and the Second Fleet of the Navy was responsible for the protection of Hainan Island, and they were also responsible for the supply of the Fifth Division.

Nishio Shouzo's order began to be issued, which meant that the General Headquarters of the Chinese Dispatch Army believed that there would be no fighting on the Guangxi side.

Even Itagaki Seishiro felt that the Fifth Division and other troops were beginning to enter a defensive state, and according to the habit of the Chinese troops, they would not take the initiative to attack.

At present, whether it is Nishio Shouzo or Itagaki Seishiro, they have begun to set their sights on Guangzhou here, and they are all thinking about how to eliminate Sun Weiguo's troops here in Guangzhou.

At this time, Sun Weiguo had already begun to authorize Shen Wei, director of the Political Department of the 47th Group Army, to begin negotiations with Lawrence, and Sun Weiguo was summoned to Guilin, Guangxi by a telegram from the Guilin camp.

Lawrence has basically met Sun Weiguo's requirements, and as for the next thing to be discussed, it is nothing more than how to transport it, and Shen Wei can deal with this matter.

On the afternoon of December 1, Sun Weiguo, with his senior staff Wang Kunyao and his personal guards, quickly began to rush to Guilin by train.

At present, the Japanese army has stopped attacking in Guangxi, and the Japanese troops also believe that the Chinese troops will not make any moves.

However, for the Chinese troops who lost Nanning, if they did not pull out the nail, the consequences would be unimaginable, so the Chinese troops began to formulate a plan for a counteroffensive against the Japanese army.

Originally, there was no possibility that the troops of Sun Weiguo's 47 th Group Army would be transferred to Guangxi to fight, but Bai Chongxi, director of the Guilin camp, personally spoke with the chairman of the committee and obtained permission from the chairman of the committee to send troops from the 2nd to 4th divisions of the 47 th Group Army to reinforce the operation during the counteroffensive against the Japanese army in Guangxi.

The chairman of the committee also took into account Sun Weiguo's command ability, and he ordered Bai Chongxi to invite Sun Weiguo to see what Sun Weiguo meant when discussing the counteroffensive plan.

So Bai Chongxi called Sun Weiguo over with a telegram, and Sun Weiguo had to give up negotiations with Lawrence and immediately rushed to Guilin.

Hainan Island, headquarters of the South China Front.

The South China Front Headquarters is located in Haikou, Hainan Island, which is close to the sea, and the Japanese army feels that this is the safest place because of the strong navy.

At present, all units of the South China Front have begun to enter Hainan Island, which is not small, but more than 200,000 Japanese troops have gathered.

At this time, Lieutenant General Commander Seishiro Itagaki began to stand in front of the map, his eyes looking towards the Guangdong region, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

In Itagaki Seishiro's view, the Guangxi operation was already over, and he was ready to use the help of the Navy's Second Fleet to attack Guangdong and reoccupy Guangzhou.

"Your Excellency Commander, we have just received a telegram from the intelligence agency, according to the information of the intelligence agency, it is very likely that Sun Weiguo, the commander-in-chief of the 47th Group Army of China, has been proposed to be promoted to the second-class general of the army, and at the same time, it is very likely that Sun Weiguo has left the Guangdong region."
