The chairman of the committee is to expand the Third Cavalry Army on the front line for the 47th Group Army, but in terms of soldiers, the chairman only plans to transfer a few cavalry regiments to strengthen the 47th Group Army, which means that if Sun Weiguo wants to form a unit of the Third Cavalry Army, he still has to rely on himself.

At 8 o'clock in the morning of 19 December, the Central Military Commission officially began to issue an order for the 47 th Group Army to expand into one cavalry unit of the Third Cavalry Army, and at the same time, the chairman ordered the transfer of four cavalry regiments from the Ninth and Fourth Theaters to the 47 th Group Army to be used to establish the Third Cavalry Army.

When Sun Weiguo received this order from the Military Commission, the newly formed 11th Division and the 201st Division of the Provisional Ninth Army had already rushed to Yulin, and at the same time that the troops of these two divisions arrived in Yulin, Qin Xianliang's troops of the Honorary Third Division began to return to Zhanjiang, Guangdong, and return the establishment of the New Seventh Army.

The formation of the Third Cavalry Army is obviously the most important thing for Sun Weiguo at the moment, but now the cavalry regiment troops transferred from the Fourth and Ninth Theaters have not yet arrived, and Sun Weiguo can only temporarily let the Third Cavalry Army set up a military headquarters first.

After Sun Weiguo and Yin Jinshan, the commander of the Provisional Ninth Army, Sun Weiguo decided to transfer Yin Jinshan, commander of the Provisional Ninth Army, as the commander of the Third Cavalry Army, which has the jurisdiction of the 201st Division, the First Cavalry Division, the Second Cavalry Division and the troops directly under the military headquarters.

In this way, the troops of the Provisional Ninth Army will have three divisions under the jurisdiction of the Honorary Fourth Division, the newly formed 11th Division, and the Security Division, and Sun Weiguo has already thought about the candidate for the commander of the Provisional Ninth Army, Zhang Wenbin, deputy commander of the Provisional Ninth Army, will act as the commander, and Tan Tianyu, the honorary commander of the Fourth Division.

The cavalry guard regiment directly under the group army was expanded into the first cavalry division, with Huang Gang as the division commander, and the three cavalry battalions of the first brigade of the rangers were expanded into the second cavalry division, and the division commander was Huang Yongsheng.

The head of the mechanized guard regiment was transferred to the guard captain Xin Bowen, while Zhang Junjia, who served in the 1st Ranger Brigade, was transferred to Sun Weiguo's side as the guard captain.

At the same time, Hao Jie was transferred by Sun Weiguo to the honorary Fourth Division as the deputy division commander, and Zhang Ming was transferred to the Third Cavalry Army as a military staff officer.

In this way, the units of the Third Cavalry Army were formed, but at present, the Third Cavalry Army has only one armored division and five cavalry battalions, and if it needs to be full, it will have to wait for several cavalry regiments to arrive, and according to Sun Weiguo's idea, each cavalry division must have at least three cavalry regiments under its jurisdiction.

The Third Cavalry Army was quickly established at the front, but Sun Weiguo's troops did not increase much.

Moreover, with the cancellation of the number of the 1st Brigade of the Rangers, the Japanese Navy Special Marine Division, the 131st Division, and the Tun Mixed Brigade Troops will not be able to resist at all, and they can easily start approaching in the direction of Nanning.

At 11 o'clock in the morning of 19 December, 12 bombers of the Japanese First Air Force began to fly over Yulin, and the little devil bombers began to bomb Yulin.

At the same time, more than 100 tank units of the 1st Brigade of the Japanese Independent Tank and the 2nd Brigade of the Independent Tank began to approach Yulin, and dozens of heavy artillery pieces of the 9th Brigade of the Japanese Heavy Artillery also began to shell the positions on the periphery of Yulin.

After the troops of the 47th Group Army were defeated in the area of Pubei County, the morale of the little devils was high, and many devil soldiers wanted to directly capture Yulin and completely encircle and annihilate the troops of the 47th Group Army.

In Lingshan County, the headquarters of the 22nd Army of the Japanese Army has set up a front-line command here, which is in charge of the 22nd Army's Major General Chief of Staff Wakamatsu Zhiichi, and the 9th Brigade of the Japanese Heavy Artillery, the 1st Independent Tank Brigade, the 2nd Independent Tank Brigade, the 16th Division, the 57th Division, and the Guards Division are all commanded by Wakamatsu Zhiichi in the area of Pubei County.

And now the commander of the 16th Division of the Japanese Army, Morioka Ji, the commander of the 57th Division, Ito Zhigang, and the commander of the Guards Division, Iida Shojiro, have all come to the front-line headquarters, and the three division commanders have taken the initiative to ask for battle this time, and after the defeat of the Honorary Third Division and other troops in Pubei County, they have been commended by Seishiro Itagaki of the South China Front Headquarters, and the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Dispatch Army, Nishio Shouzo, personally sent them a telegram to express encouragement, and the three division commanders were very proud, and they planned to continue the attack until they captured Yulin.

"Chief of Staff, now that the Chinese troops have retreated to Yulin, their troops have suffered heavy casualties, as long as we attack Yulin now, we will definitely be able to completely capture Yulin and drive the Yulin Chinese troops out of the Guangxi battlefield, and maybe even we will be able to completely annihilate them."

"Yes, Your Excellency Chief of Staff, this is a rare opportunity, the Chinese troops have suffered heavy casualties, we absolutely cannot give them a chance to rest and recuperate, I suggest that the troops immediately attack, only in this way can we better protect the supply line from Qinzhou Bay to Nanning."

"Our troops are stationed in Pubei County, which is equivalent to giving the Yulin China troops time to rest and replenish, and once they are replenished, they will definitely attack immediately, so I also agree to launch an attack on Yulin immediately before they are replenished."

The three division commanders came to Wakamatsu Zhiyi, and they looked at Wakamatsu Zhiyi, and said with expressions on their faces.

They all hoped that the troops would be able to attack Yulin immediately, but their idea was completely different from that of the 22nd Army Headquarters.

The commander of the 22nd Army, Hashimoto Group, believed that although the Japanese troops had defeated Sun Weiguo's troops, they had not inflicted heavy losses on them, and if the Japanese army rashly attacked Yulin, where Sun Weiguo's troops were stationed, perhaps the Japanese troops would have been hit, so Hashimoto Group only ordered the aviation units, armored troops, and artillery units to attack and carry out demonstrative attacks on Sun Weiguo's troops in Yulin.

At present, the Hashimoto group has made two preparations, in the battle there in Nanning, the Hashimoto group is preparing to launch a counterattack, using the Navy Special Marine Division, the 131st Division, and the Tuntun Mixed Brigade to reinforce the Fifth Division, and when these troops arrive in Nanning, they will immediately join forces with the troops of the Fifth Division to counterattack.

And fighting here in Pubei County, Hashimoto's group was preparing to focus on defense, and now that Pubei County is in his hands, he naturally hopes to occupy this place for a long time to ensure the safety of the supply line.

For the Chinese forces in Yulin, Hashimoto did not plan to attack, because he was not sure that he would be able to win.

Wakamatsu was sent by the Hashimoto group, so he naturally wanted to maintain the same views as the Hashimoto group.

"The troops are temporarily stationed in place, do not attack Yulin, this is the order of the headquarters, please the three division commanders must abide by it."

Regarding the initiative of the three division commanders to ask for battle, Wakamatsu Zhi said in a serious tone.
