As the chief of staff of the General Headquarters of the Chinese Dispatch Army, Seishiro Itagaki was well aware of the operation situation in Guangdong.

The 21st Army suffered a devastating blow, this time the base camp canceled the number of the 21st Army, thus establishing the South China Front, Itagaki Seishiro knew that this was a very helpless choice made by the base camp, after all, Guangdong is now controlled by the Chinese troops, and the South China Front can only temporarily rest and recuperate on Hainan Island after its establishment.

Itagaki Seishiro obviously didn't have much interest in this position, and if he did, he wouldn't have asked Nishio Shouzo what he meant.

"According to the telegram, the South China Front has five divisions, three independent mixed brigades, two tank brigades, and the Indochina Dispatch Army, as well as an independent aviation unit, with a total strength of more than 100,000 people, but the 16th Division and the 18th Division are newly formed troops, and the 48th Division and the 57th Division are also used as police reserve troops, I am afraid it is difficult to have any effect for the time being, even if it is the Guards Division, there will be a large number of recruits among them."

Nishio Shouzo looked at Seishiro Itagaki with a thoughtful expression on his face.

Itagaki Seishiro has a certain ability, with Itagaki Seishiro by his side, Nishio Shouzo is very relaxed in his heart, and now he suddenly got the base camp to transfer Itagaki Seishiro to Hainan Island to serve as the commander of the South China Front, and he was somewhat reluctant in his heart.

What's more, Nishio Shouzo knows very well that now that Seishiro Itagaki is going to Hainan Island, this is simply jumping into the fire pit.

After Nishio Shouzo and Itagaki Seishiro came into contact for a period of time, he had some feelings for Itagaki Seishiro, and he didn't want to see Itagaki Seishiro clean up the mess.

And Nishio Shouzo also knows that the formation of the South China Front in the base camp must be to counterattack Guangdong, but if he wants to regain control of Guangdong from Sun Weiguo, this matter is not simple, from the bottom of his heart, Nishio Shouzo is unwilling to see Itagaki Seishiro go to Hainan Island.

"Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, at present, the troops of the 104th Division are still on Hainan Island, and a considerable part of the Marine Corps is stationed on Hainan Island, if these forces are counted, the South China Front Army has a considerable number of troops, and this force can fully undertake combat missions, and maybe it will be able to directly recover Guangdong, and once the Fifth Division and the mixed brigade units stationed in Tun end the Guangxi operation, they are very likely to be assigned to the South China Front."

Seishiro Itagaki glanced at the map, and when he saw the location of Guangdong on the map, his brows furrowed tightly, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

Then he turned his head and looked at Nishio Shouzo, and said with a solemn expression on his face.

The 16th and 18th Divisions were both encircled and annihilated by Sun Weiguo, but the Japanese had already begun to reorganize these two forces.

Probably in order to deal with Sun Weiguo's troops, the 16th and 18th divisions have cancelled the brigade and regimental establishments, and their divisions are directly under the command of the wings.

The 16th Division has three infantry wings, the ninth, 20th, and 33rd, and at the same time, the search wing, field artillery wing, engineer wing, and baggage wing directly under the division and regiment headquarters are directly under the division and regiment headquarters.

The 18th Division has three infantry wings, the 55th, 56th, and 114th, and at the same time, the search wing, the mountain artillery wing, the engineer wing, and the baggage wing directly under the division and regiment headquarters are directly under the division.

These two divisions have 20,000 personnel, including the communications corps, the medical corps, and the field hospital.

However, the establishment of these divisions and regiments has abolished the establishment of mountain artillery, and all of their wings have an anti-tank artillery brigade under their jurisdiction and 12 anti-tank guns under their jurisdiction.

At the same time as the reorganization of the 16th and 18th Divisions, the Japanese army also formed two divisions, the 48th Division and the 57th Division.

The 48th Division has under the jurisdiction of the 1st Independent Infantry Wing, the 2nd Independent Infantry Wing, the 47th Independent Infantry Wing, and at the same time, the search wing, mountain artillery wing, engineer wing, and baggage wing directly under the division and regiment headquarters, while the 57th Division is under the jurisdiction of the 52nd Wing, the 117th Wing, the 132nd Wing, the search wing directly under the division and regiment headquarters, the field artillery wing, the engineer wing, and the baggage wing.

THE INFANTRY WINGS OF THE TWO DIVISIONS HAD ONLY TWO SQUADRONS OF ANTI-TANK GUNS, ARMED WITH EIGHT 37MM ANTI-TANK GUNS. 、

The 48th Division and the 57th Division have more than 18,000 personnel, and the soldiers are all veterans and recruits drawn from various field divisions and regiments.

However, the Guards Division still had two brigades and four wings, and the Guards Division once again reorganized a heavy artillery wing, with a total of more than 30,000 personnel.

The personnel of the South China Front Army were all clearly written on the content of the telegram by the base camp, and Itagaki Seishiro was somewhat moved in his heart.

He was expelled from his post as Minister of War to the post of Chief of Staff of the General Headquarters of the Chinese Dispatch Forces, which meant that he was expelled from the top of the Japanese army.

Seishiro Itagaki is an ambitious man, and now he wants to regain the highest glory by re-commanding the troops to fight.

But when he went to fight in South China, Itagaki Seishiro was somewhat worried, after all, he knew that Sun Weiguo was not easy to provoke.

His eyes turned towards Nishio Shouzo, and Seishiro Itagaki had a hesitant expression on his face.

"The 16th Division, the 18th Division, the 48th Division, the 57th Division, the Guards Division, the 104th Division, the 19th, 20th, and 21st Brigades of the Independent Mixed Army, the 1st and 2nd Brigades of Independent Combat Vehicles, the Indochina Dispatch Army, and the South China Front have a total strength of about 160,000 people, and there are tank troops. There is also an independent infantry team on Hainan Island, as well as a marine corps, Itagaki-kun, I will try my best to expand the independent infantry on Hainan Island into an independent mixed 22nd brigade, and at the same time, I will also expand the marine corps on Hainan Island into the 1st Marine Special Marine Division, I hope it can help you. ”

Nishio Shouzo looked at the map, and there was a contemplative expression on his face, and then he looked at Seishiro Itagaki and said with a solemn expression in his tone.

"Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief?" Hearing Nishio Shouzo's words, Seishiro Itagaki looked at him with some doubts.

"The South China Front will have at least seven divisions, four mixed brigades, two tank brigades, and one siege heavy artillery brigade, and the total strength will reach 200,000, Itagaki Jun, with these 200,000 troops, are you sure that you will be able to eliminate Sun Weiguo's troops in Guangdong and fully occupy Guangdong again?"

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

"Please rest assured, Your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, once the South China Front Army has completed its rest and assembly, I will definitely completely wipe out all the troops of Sun Weiguo in Guangdong, and at the same time will quickly occupy Guangdong."

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

"Mixi, then Itagaki-kun, so I'll leave it to you." Nishio Shouzo nodded with satisfaction and said.
