Chapter 1673 - Shouting at the Devil
The Japanese army, represented by the former commander of the 106th Division, Lieutenant General Takuya Kimura, began negotiations with Sun Weiguo, and they wanted to negotiate so that the Second Guards Wing could be evacuated.
At the same time that Takuya Kimura went to negotiate with Sun Weiguo outside the city of Guangzhou, the Japanese 104th Division and the Kimura detachment from the Zhongshan area of Xinhui had begun to withdraw backwards, and they would directly withdraw to Hainan Island through naval transportation.
Nearly 200 fighters and bombers of the First Air Force, which was anchored in the South China Sea near Guangzhou, and the 15th Air Force and the 21st Independent Air Force, which were directly under the Second Combined Air Force, were ready to directly use air raids to cover the breakthrough of the Japanese troops in Guangzhou if the negotiations did not go well.
The three corps of the New Seventh Army, the Provisional Ninth Army, and the 54th Army have temporarily stopped attacking, and they are waiting for the latest orders from the General Headquarters.
After meeting with Kimura Takuya, Sun Weiguo returned directly to his front-line headquarters, after he came here, he still did not give the order to attack, he began to send officers who knew Japanese to the city of Guangzhou, Sun Weiguo was ready to bring a psychological blow to the devil soldiers in the city.
As for the Japanese 104th Division and Kimura Detachment, who wanted to give up the rescue, Sun Weiguo only let the 62nd Army, 63rd Army, and 65th Army three armies and six divisions to attack and harass them and contain them as much as possible.
However, Sun Weiguo himself also knew that with the current ability of the troops in his hands, he had to give up.
If Sun Weiguo wanted to encircle and annihilate the 104th Division and the Kimura Detachment, then it would be impossible to rely on the 62nd Army and other troops, and he had to transfer the troops of the New Seventh Army and the Temporary Ninth Army, but these two army units were the main forces in the encirclement and annihilation of Guangzhou, and he would not leave them.
In contrast, Sun Weiguo is preparing to completely eliminate the devil soldiers in the city, as for the 104th Division and other troops, what Sun Weiguo can do is only try to bring them a certain degree of casualties.
"Commander-in-chief, everything has been arranged, the 62nd Army, the 63rd Army, and the 65th Army have all called back, and they will try their best to hit the Japanese troops and strive to give the devil soldiers the maximum casualties. In addition, all the officers who were fluent in Japanese were dispatched to the castle, and they would take immediate action. ”
Wang Kunyao came to Sun Weiguo, and he saluted and reported to Sun Weiguo.
Sun Weiguo looked at the periphery, he nodded, and at this time, Luo Hongyi, who was ordered to come to the general headquarters, had already walked in, he came to Sun Weiguo, saluted and shouted: "Report to the commander-in-chief, Luo Hongyi was ordered to come to report, please instruct the commander-in-chief." ”
"Hong Yi, it's good that you're here, from now on, you are the colonel in the general headquarters, and I will let the relevant staff officers introduce you to the specific things. You perform your duties in place of the Chief of Staff until the Chief of Staff is not reinstated. Sun Weiguo looked at Luo Hongyi, and he nodded with satisfaction and said.
With Gao Shen Ge Haifeng being transferred by Sun Weiguo to the security division as the division commander, Ge Haifeng has now begun to be ordered to accept soldiers and form a security division unit.
Ge Haifeng became the commander of the security division, and Sun Weiguo did not have Zhao Lerong by his side, so he directly transferred Luo Hongyi to his side and served as a colonel and senior staff member.
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief." Luo Hongyi didn't hesitate, he saluted directly towards Sun Weiguo and said.
Luo Hongyi, a colonel and senior staff member, took office directly, and Sun Weiguo also directly gave him the first task, which was to immediately get in touch with the air force and agree on the time for air force support.
At this time, it was already more than five o'clock in the afternoon of 17 November, it was winter, the sky was dark very early, and the city of Guangzhou was completely dark, and no one would emit a little light at this time, because as long as there was light, it would be the focus of the artillery strikes of the Chinese and Japanese sides.
Because the Chinese troops temporarily stopped the attack, and the Japanese did not counterattack, there was silence in the city of Guangzhou, and there was no sound around.
But by half-past five, voices began to appear around the Japanese position, all in Japanese.
"The officers and men of the 21st Japanese Army listened, on the orders of General Sun Weiguo, the former commander-in-chief of the enemy in the Fourth Theater, in view of the fact that the Japanese army has sent a negotiator, in the spirit of humanitarianism, as long as you lay down your arms and choose to surrender, we will guarantee the safety of your lives, and at the same time provide humanitarian relief. But if you resist to the end, there is only a dead end for you. ”
"Little devil, your superiors have completely abandoned you, and no reinforcements will come to you now, but you have sent negotiators, as long as you give up all your weapons now, we will not continue to attack, but if you continue to hold your ground, then we will attack at twelve o'clock in the morning."
"General Sun Weiguo has given you a chance, I hope you don't miss it, you may not know, the main force of the 47th Group Army, the New Seventh Army and the Temporary Ninth Army, has been deployed in four weeks, if you don't choose to give up resistance within the specified time, then we will completely destroy your position, and no one of you will be able to survive at that time."
An officer who knew Japanese was holding a tin bullhorn, and they began to shout loudly around the devil's position.
When the devil soldiers heard these words, their hearts were more or less complicated, and even some of the devil soldiers were thinking about whether to put down their weapons in their hearts.
"Captain, is what the Chinese troops said true? Has the command already sent negotiators, what exactly should we do, and does it really make sense for us to resist? ”
"Squadron Leader, as long as we give up resistance, we may still be able to survive, and as long as we can survive, we can still be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor."
"This time the matter will definitely end with negotiations, and the Chinese troops will definitely let us go, so don't think too much about it."
There was a lot of discussion on the devil's soldier position, and some people had already begun to tell about laying down their weapons.
The commander of the Guards Mixed Brigade Major General Brigade Commander Suida Takeshi immediately ordered the artillery unit to shoot if the Chinese troops were spreading bad influence on the devil soldiers.
One by one, the shells began to hit, but this did not bring danger to the shouting officers, they just dodged for a while, and when the little devils stopped the shelling, they still continued to shout, and the morale of the devil soldiers on the position was greatly affected, and many devil soldiers began to have other thoughts in their hearts.
At this time, the artillery units directly under the divisions that were fighting had already begun to deploy artillery on the front line, and these artillery pieces were to be fired in close proximity.
At half past eight o'clock in the evening of the 17th, Nanjing, in the General Headquarters of the Chinese Dispatch Army.
Lieutenant General Seishiro Itagaki began to take a document to the commander-in-chief, Nishio Shouzo, and he handed the message directly to Nishio Shouzo.
Shouzo Nishio, who was staring at the map in a daze, took the message and looked at it, and when he read the content of the message clearly, he couldn't help but show a solemn expression on his face.
