Fu Tao and Deputy Division Commander Liang Weifeng lowered their heads, and when they heard Sun Weiguo's inquiry, the two of them didn't know how to answer for a while.

According to the normal order of attack, before launching an attack, the troops must send reconnaissance units to conduct fire reconnaissance on the Japanese positions, so as to find the Japanese firepower points to deploy, and after striking at the Japanese firepower points through artillery, the troops are attacking, so that there can be effective protection for the attack of the troops.

However, the troops of the Fifth Division of the New Seventh Army directly sent troops to attack, but after being fiercely shot by the Japanese army and losing more than 100 people, Sun Weiguo was naturally very angry.

Even though the 3rd and 4th Ranger Battalions reconnoitred the perimeter of Canton and provided the armies with an approximate deployment of the Japanese troops, the two Ranger battalions did not carry out a tentative attack, they only provided the position of the Japanese position.

When the troops of the Provisional Fifth Division got the position of the Japanese army, they wanted to attack directly, but they were a little careless and underestimated the enemy.

"Commander-in-chief, please give your division a chance, we promise to take the Japanese position." Liang Weifeng, deputy commander of the provisional Fifth Division, looked at Sun Weiguo and said.

"The provisional Fifth Division is withdrawn to the rear and is on standby, Commander Dai, bring me Chen Zhengwei, the commander of the honorary Seventh Division, and call Huang Yongsheng, the commander of the First Brigade of the Rangers, and Li Shaoyan, the deputy brigade commander."

Sun Weiguo directly issued an order, and the main attack mission of the Fifth Division was directly canceled.

This rash action caused more than 100 casualties, and Sun Weiguo definitely wanted to teach them a lesson.

"Commander-in-chief, we are giving our division a chance, and this time we promise to take the Japanese airfield." Fu Tao, commander of the provisional Fifth Division, also looked at Sun Weiguo and said.

Compared with Liang Weifeng, Fu Tao is an old subordinate who has followed Sun Weiguo for many years, and even for a period of time, when Sun Weiguo was the brigade commander, division commander, and army commander, Fu Tao was the deputy brigade commander, deputy division commander, and deputy army commander.

"It's not that I don't give you a chance, it's that you have the idea of underestimating the enemy in your hearts, and the provisional Fifth Division will immediately withdraw to stand by, and you, the division commanders, must reflect on it."

Sun Weiguo glanced at Fu Tao, he shook his head lightly, and said in a serious tone.

Fu Tao saw that Sun Weiguo's attitude was very resolute, he nodded silently, and walked out directly with Liang Weifeng.

The herald began to convey Sun Weiguo's order, and the honorary commander of the 7th Division, Chen Zhengwei, the deputy division commander, Wen Zihan, the commander of the 1st Ranger Brigade, Huang Yongsheng, and the deputy brigade commander Li Shaoyan came to the military headquarters of the New Seventh Army.

After they came to the military headquarters of the New Seventh Army, they immediately saluted Sun Weiguo with a serious expression on their faces.

"The Japanese airfield is not far ahead, there are dozens of Japanese planes here, if you don't end the airfield, the little devil plane can take off at any time, I don't care what method you use, you want to capture the airport for me in the shortest possible time, and you can bomb as many little devil planes as you can, of course, if you blow up all the little devil planes, I will give you credit."

Sun Weiguo looked at Chen Zhengwei, commander of the Honorary Seventh Division, and Huang Yongsheng, commander of the First Brigade of the Rangers, and said with a serious expression on his face.

The Japanese planes at the Guangzhou airport could take off at any time to fight, which was very troublesome for the troops to attack Guangzhou, so Sun Weiguo had to solve the airport first.

After the attack of the Provisional Fifth Division was frustrated, Sun Weiguo realized that the officers of the Provisional Fifth Division had the idea of underestimating the enemy, and he promptly withdrew the Provisional Fifth Division.

The Honorable 7th Division and the 1st Ranger Brigade have something in common, both units are newly formed, but there are a lot of veterans in these two units.

Sun Weiguo was to unite them, and he wanted to use these two troops to capture the airport and play a leading role for all the troops.

"Commander-in-chief, rest assured, we will definitely take the airport before twelve o'clock in the evening." Chen Zhengwei saluted directly to Sun Weiguo and said.

"Okay, Chief of Staff Zhu, you can introduce the situation to them." Sun Weiguo asked Zhu Jianwei, chief of staff of the New Seventh Army, to introduce the situation.

Zhu Jianwei nodded, and he began to come to the sand table and directly introduce the situation of the Japanese army to Chen Zhengwei and others.

At around 2 o'clock in the afternoon of 16 July, when the military headquarters of the New Seventh Army was still studying how to launch an attack on the Japanese airfield, one Japanese plane after another began to appear in the sky over Guangzhou.

After the coordination between the commander of the 21st Army, Toshiyoshi Ando, and the naval aviation side, the Japanese naval aviation has already begun to make adjustments.

Dozens of fighters of the 15th Air Force will provide air support to the western theater of operations, and the commander of the western theater of operations, Takeshi Nagasuida, can directly contact the 15th Air Force.

Dozens of fighters of the First Air Force provided air support to the Eastern Operational Area, and Kenkichi Hirata, commander of the Eastern Operational Area, could directly contact the First Air Force.

At present, Takeshi Nagasuita and Kenkichi Hirata can directly contact the naval aviation units through the radio, and they can call the aviation units for air support at any time.

At the same time, the 21st Independent Air Force at the outlying airfields of Guangzhou was commanded by Toshiyoshi Ando, commander of the 21st Army, and this air force was a mobile combat force.

The 21st Independent Air Force can take off at any time to support operations throughout Guangzhou, and the 21st Independent Air Force Ishikawa Aidasa can take off without asking for instructions.

After the 1st Brigade of the 1st Guards Wing stationed on the periphery of the aircraft was attacked by the troops of the 5th Provisional Division, although the 1st Brigade repelled the attack of the 5th Provisional Division, they judged that the focus of the attack of the Chinese troops was at the airport, and the commander of the 1st Guards Brigade had already begun to contact the headquarters of the 1st Guards Wing to ask for tactical guidance.

Now the Japanese side is preparing to readjust the aircraft garrison, but the Japanese naval aviation is the first to take action.

Dozens of bombers began to appear in the skies over Guangzhou, and according to the division of the combat area, the First Air Force began to bomb the Provisional Ninth Army in the area east of Guangzhou, while the 15th Air Force directly bombed the New Seventh Army in the area west of Guangzhou.

Aerial bombs began to fall without warning, and Dongguan and Foshan became the focus of the bombing by the little devils.

Twelve reconnaissance planes of the 21st Independent Flying Squadron of the 82nd Independent Air Regiment, which were constantly dispatched, began to conduct reconnaissance near Guangzhou.

As soon as the Chinese troops exposed their artillery positions and heavy artillery activities, reconnaissance opportunities were immediately followed up and immediately reported, and the Japanese air force would immediately go out to bomb them.

With a "boom", a bomb fell directly outside the military headquarters of the New Seventh Army in Foshan, and as the aerial bomb began to explode, the ground seemed to begin to shake.

Sun Weiguo's guard captain Xin Bowen immediately led the guards to quickly protect Sun Weiguo, but Sun Weiguo shook his hand and said that there was no need to be nervous.
