Chapter 1270: There are more than 20,000 people

"Commander-in-chief."

Dai Jitao, commander of the New Seventh Army, and Yin Jinshan, commander of the Ninth Army, came to Sun Weiguo, and they saluted Sun Weiguo at the same time.

Sun Weiguo nodded, his eyes looked at the two commanders, and a smile began to appear on his face.

"You should also know the establishment formulated by the chairman, at present, the casualties of each division are not small, I have already begun to recruit soldiers, and the new recruits will arrive tomorrow at the latest. For the time being, I plan to transfer some veterans to the Ninth Army, and except for the newly formed 11th Division, all other divisions will transfer veterans to the Security Division. Ge Haifeng will serve as the commander of the security division, and Li Shaoyan will serve as the deputy division commander. ”

Sun Weiguo looked at Dai Jitao and Yin Jinshan, and said with a serious expression on his face.

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief." Dai Jitao and Yin Jinshan immediately saluted and said.

Sun Weiguo talked with them for a while, and then he began to deploy combat missions, and after talking with them to deploy combat missions, Sun Weiguo personally summoned Wang Pingyuan, commander of the newly formed 11th Division.

At about 12 o'clock in the afternoon of November 17, 1939, planes began to appear in the sky over Guangzhou.

The Chinese Air Force began to sortie, this time with 20 bombers and 15 fighters over Guangzhou.

Immediately after that, the air force units began to carpet bomb the Japanese positions in accordance with the guidance of the new Seventh Army's flares, and after the bombing was over, the air force units began to withdraw.

At the same time, the heavy artillery of the artillery brigade began to cover the Japanese positions, and at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the new 11th Division of the Ninth Army took up the main attack and began to attack the Japanese troops.

Thousands of soldiers began to quickly attack the Japanese positions under the command of division commander Wang Pingyuan, and this time the troops of the new 11th Division did not have any reservations.

After Wang Pingyuan talked with Sun Weiguo, he realized Sun Weiguo's thoughts, he knew that Sun Weiguo would not treat the troops of the new 11th Division as an outlier, and he was also willing to contribute to the resistance against Japan.

The troops of the New 11th Division launched a fierce attack for two hours in a row, and after the troops suffered more than 2,000 casualties, the attack of the troops of the New 11th Division began to stop.

At this time, the 230th Wing of the Japanese Army had all been shattered, and gaps began to appear in the Japanese position, and after Sun Weiguo stopped the attack of the new 11th Division, the Honorary Fourth Division began to attack under the leadership of the division commander Zhang Wenbin.

Sun Weiguo's intention is obvious, he intends to use wheel warfare and directly consume all the Japanese troops.

The fierce battle continued until ten o'clock in the evening, and the troops of the 4th Division of Honor had already captured part of the positions of the little devils, and they began to firmly garrison them.

The New Seventh Army's provisional Fifth Division, provisional Sixth Division, and Honorary Seventh Division began to attack at the same time, and the pressure on the little devils began to increase instantly.

Ando Toshikichi constantly sent telegrams to the front-line units to boost morale, but to no avail, he could only quickly send telegrams urging reinforcements to arrive immediately.

The fierce fighting continued until one o'clock in the morning of the 18th, and the 228th and 230th Wings of the 38th Division of the Japanese Army, as well as the Mountain Artillery Wing, were all wiped out.

At this time, the Japanese troops could only rely on the 2nd Guards Wing and the troops directly under the army, but it was still very difficult for them to block the attack of the Chinese troops.

At two o'clock in the morning, Sun Weiguo gathered all the troops of the 1st Ranger Brigade together, and he ordered Huang Yongsheng to lead the Ranger troops to destroy the Japanese heavy artillery position.

At this time, the Japanese army only had some troops directly under the army and the second wing of the guards, in addition to these troops, the only ones that could pose a threat to the Chinese troops were the second wing of heavy artillery and the eighth wing of heavy artillery, both of which were on the periphery, and the Japanese had to send heavy troops to garrison.

THE RANGERS TOOK ACTION THAT NIGHT, AND AFTER SEVERAL HOURS OF FIGHTING, THE 1ST RANGERS BRIGADE CAPTURED THE 8TH WING OF THE JAPANESE HEAVY ARTILLERY AND CAPTURED EIGHTEEN 150MM HOWITZERS.

It's just that the actions of the troops of the 1st Brigade of the Rangers are still exposed, otherwise they would have captured more howitzers.

As the position of the 8th Wing of the Japanese Heavy Artillery began to be lost, the headquarters of the 21st Army began to be stationed in the 2nd Wing of the Heavy Artillery, and a small number of devil soldiers began to defend with this as the center.

At present, the remaining strength of the little devils is only more than 10,000 people, they are just holding the position of the second wing of the heavy artillery, and they themselves know what awaits them.

The sun rises in the east, Nanjing, the General Headquarters of the Chinese Dispatch Army.

The commander of the general, Nishio Shouzo, did not rest all night last night, and he had a solemn expression on his face, and he was thinking about how to rescue the Japanese troops in Guangzhou.

By now, Nishio Shouzo has begun to become completely numb, and he doesn't care at all how many devil soldiers are surrounded and annihilated, and now for Nishio Shouzo, he most hopes that the troops of the Guards Division can break through, as long as the troops of the Guards Division break out, it doesn't matter if the rest of the troops are completely annihilated.

"Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, I have just received a telegram from the headquarters of the 21st Army, they are currently suffering heavy losses, and now only the Second Guards Wing and some troops directly under the army can fight, according to Commander Ando Toshiyoshi's estimate, they may only be able to hold out until night at the latest, but now the reinforcements are still some distance from Guangzhou."

Seishiro Itagaki, chief of staff of the Lieutenant General of the General Headquarters of the Chinese Dispatch Army, came to the commander of the general, Nishio Shouzo, with a telegram, and he saluted and reported to Nishio Shouzo.

After hearing Itagaki Seishiro's report, Nishio Shouzo had a solemn expression on his face, and he immediately came to the map.

"There are now more than 20,000 people in the 104th Division, and there are more than 10,000 people in the Kimura detachment, these 30,000 troops can't rush to Guangzhou City at the scheduled time, what the hell is going on, how did Kizaburo Hamamoto and Takuya Kimura command, they couldn't reach Guangzhou within the specified time, it's really damn good."

Nishio Shouzo's face was gloomy, his eyes were even more murderous, and he said in a cold tone.

"They were intercepted by the Chinese troops, and according to the information they have at present, there are six divisions that have intercepted them, and according to the current situation, even if these troops enter Guangzhou, there will definitely be Chinese troops to intercept them." Itagaki Seishiro looked at Nishio Shouzo, and he said with a helpless expression on his face.

"The rest of the troops can be damaged, but the troops of the Guards Division cannot be annihilated. Itagaki-kun, think about it, is there any other way now? As long as the troops of the Guards Division can be rescued, the rest of the troops can be abandoned. ”

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

"Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, it is completely impossible to rely on the troops to rescue the Second Guards Wing at this time, unless we can take other measures."

Seishiro Itagaki looked at Nishio Shouzo, and he hesitated and said.
