The Japanese bombers in the sky were mighty, as if no one was in a no-man's land. Aerial bombs continued to fall on the positions, the sound of violent explosions was deafening, and the smoke of gunpowder filled the defensive positions. Due to the extremely fast speed of the Japanese army's attack, the heavy artillery wing that cooperated with the division was still in Fangchenggang at the moment. Therefore, the 21st Brigade of the Japanese army's vanguard unit, which arrived in Qinzhou, could not bear to take the lead in launching an attack on Qinzhou. Japanese soldiers used air support and infantry artillery cover to launch a tidal attack on the defensive positions of the 19th Division.

The commander of the 21st Brigade of the Japanese Army, Masao Nakamura, as the trump card of the 5th Division, has always been good at charging and being invincible. In Nakamura Masao's eyes, the Shina army is a fragile straw bale. Since entering the Chinese battlefield, the 5th Division has not tasted defeat, so the officers and men of the 5th Division of the Japanese Army have naturally developed an arrogant squeamishness. The brigade commander Nakamura Masao led his troops to advance to the city of Qinzhou in one day and two nights, and although the enemy troops were intercepted from time to time, Nakamura Masao thought that this was a pediatric department, and it was nothing more than to slow down the attack.

In the morning, Japanese fighters wantonly bombed Qinzhou indiscriminately, demonstrating their previous air superiority. Nakamura Masao ordered a wing to launch a full-front attack, and the Japanese attack was not carried away and launched a group attack without scruples. The soldiers of the 5th Division of the Japanese Army have a lot of combat experience. When to make a quick assault and when to be slow, they have a very measured grasp. Especially in the face of dense enemy fire, they know how to respond.

The 16th Division of the 19th Group Army had a total strength of about 7,000 men, 4 regiments, and formed two lines of defense in front of Qinzhou. The 19th Division was forced to retreat in the face of the frantic attack of the Japanese army, and the Japanese occupied the first line of defense, and the 19th Division retreated to the second line of defense. At dusk, the Japanese army stopped attacking, and the battlefield was temporarily silent.

It was the first time that the 19th Division had experienced such a vicious battle, and the situation was very critical. The atmosphere in the division headquarters was depressing, and the generals were depressed and depressed. Division commander Huang Gu knew very well that in the daytime battle, in the face of the immediate three-dimensional attack of the Japanese army, it took more than 2,000 people to withstand the fierce offensive of the Japanese army, and he gave up the first defensive position to stabilize the defensive line.

"Division commander, the theater command told us to hold out for three days, but on the first day we suffered more than 2,000 casualties, and we also lost the first line of positions. The Japanese army is very strong, and tomorrow I am afraid that there will be more than one bad luck, and we may be completely annihilated. The chief of staff said apprehensively. Military orders are like mountains, let's resign ourselves to fate! The regiments were ordered to hold on for three days. Huang Gu knew in his heart that escaping without permission was a dead end, and sticking to it was also a dead end. Rather than this, it is better to die as you deserve.

"Report, General Ouyang is calling!" An operational staff officer made an urgent report. Huang Gu hurriedly took the telegram, only to see that it was written: You can enter the city to defend in a crisis tomorrow, as long as you hold on until the morning after tomorrow, the 3-day deadline! No matter how clear the telegram is, holding on until the morning after tomorrow is three days, and since it is three days, it is equivalent to completing the task. Huang Gu's spirits were greatly boosted, and he immediately ordered all regiment commanders to come to the division headquarters for a meeting.

The fierce battle continued the next day, and the officers and men of the 19th Division seemed to see the hope of survival, and their enthusiasm for fighting was high. In the morning, the officers and men fought bloody battles and repelled two Japanese attacks. At noon, the 19th Division took the initiative to abandon the second defensive position and push into the city. The Japanese army thought that the 19th Division could not parry and fled in embarrassment, so Chen Sheng pursued, but as a result, the 19th Division had already prepared and stubbornly intercepted it in the urban area by taking advantage of the favorable terrain. The Japanese army captured a third of the city and was forced to stop the offensive until dark.

The next morning, the 19th Division quietly withdrew from the battle, and when retreating, Bai Chongxi sent a report to Huang Gu, and the retreat was to be presented in a rout. In the morning, when the Japanese attacked again, they found that there was not a single enemy soldier in the city. Nakamura Masao ordered the forward troops to pursue, and the Japanese found packages and discarded weapons all over the ground during the pursuit. There is no doubt that the enemy army fled in a hurry. Qinzhou was captured, and Nakamura Akito ordered the 21st Brigade to temporarily stop going north and stand by in Qinzhou.

Now we have our eyes on the central front. On the winding mountain road, dozens of Japanese tanks opened the way, the rumbling motor echoed in the mountains, the earth shook, the birds in the woods chirped and fled in terror, and many small animals in the forest disappeared in the blink of an eye. On the side of the mountain road, a group of men and horses are in ambush. "Big brother, the little devil's ironclad car is coming. This is the devil's tank, it turns out that the tank is like this. "Big brother, can we bury mines to blow up tanks?" Several guerrillas clamored. "Don't squeak, beware of the devils spotting us."

As soon as Wei Biao's words fell, suddenly the tank's machine gun rang out. "Big brother, the devil seems to have discovered us!" One of the subordinates panicked. "Damn, look at your bear-like appearance, the devil's machine gun is scaring people, what are you calling?" Wei Biao scolded in a low voice, and his subordinates didn't dare to squeak. "Attention, the devil's ironclad car is about to reach the mine location, listen to my command before shooting." Wei Biao led more than 50 brothers to lay an ambush here to block the Japanese troops from moving north. Seeing the Japanese tanks approaching the minefield, everyone held their breath and waited anxiously.

The tanks led by the Japanese were moving at high speed, when suddenly smoke rose and a loud bang was heard. The Japanese tank slammed forward for some distance, and the chain snapped. The tank in the back made an emergency stop, and the tank whose chain was blown off exposed the head of a Japanese tank crew, carefully observed it for a while, then climbed out, and then a Japanese tank crew member climbed out. "Call me!" Wei Biao was the first to fire, firing a volley of guns as he watched as the two Japanese crew members were knocked out of the tank.

"Brothers, withdraw!" Wei Biao shouted. The team members quickly disappeared into the woods. The Japanese shells landed exactly where they were hidden, and the violent explosion made the underground brothers a little afraid. "The eldest brother is so hanging, the little devil is really accurate." "This is what Captain Mu taught me, save yourself to destroy the enemy. We will continue to lay mines at two kilometers, and let the devil ironclad car taste the power of iron watermelon! "In order to effectively block the Japanese attack, the theater command provided the guerrilla columns with a large number of anti-tank and anti-infantry mines, and sent people to train them for a short time. In this defensive operation in southern Guangxi, the Jiangxi Arsenal delivered munitions to the 4th Theater, including mines.

On the road, the Japanese tanks and fighting vehicles were forced to stop advancing, and soon a squadron of devils came up from behind and searched on both sides of the road. Japanese soldiers came to the location of Wei Biao's ambush, where the shadow of the attacker was still there. The Japanese soldiers were also busy on the road, and the sappers were probing forward with mine detectors, and a repair truck came up from behind and began to repair the chain of the tank. The tank crew was killed and wounded, and the Japanese army tossed and turned for hours, marching at a speed like a snail crawling.

The guerrilla commander Wei Xiuying led his troops to attack the Japanese army on another road, and the newly formed guerrilla column had never fought with the Japanese army, so Wei Xiuying and Wei Biao had to personally go into battle and set an example for their subordinates. Wei Xiuying's team has 100 people, and the sniper rifle that Mu Shixiong gave her has not yet been fired, so Wei Xiuying has long been eager to try.

The Japanese army appeared, and in front of them were 4 Japanese soldiers on war horses. When the Japanese army was still more than 500 meters away, Wei Xiuying saw very clearly in the scope, and some couldn't help but pull the trigger. With a crisp gunshot, I saw a Japanese cavalry soldier who was shot and fell off his horse. When a Japanese soldier next to him was stunned, Wei Xiuying pulled the trigger again.

The remaining two Japanese soldiers slapped their horses and cannons, and their subordinates let out a cheer. "Haha! This shot is amazing! "Wei Xiuying is overjoyed." The commander was really extraordinary, and he killed two devils with two shots. The subordinates praised loudly. Commander, a large army of devils has come up. Wei Xiuying saw in the scope that the devil brigade stopped advancing, and when she was confused, she heard the sound of cannons, and there was a piercing whistling sound in the air, and a large number of ** fell to the position where they were ambushed. Immediately the guerrillas were in confusion and ran in all directions to dodge.

Half an hour later, Wei Xiuying gathered his men and horses with a disgraced face, and the results of the investigation showed that 11 team members were killed and 25 were wounded. Wei Xiuying was indignant and did not choose to retreat, but continued to deal with the Japanese army, and the Japanese army only advanced 2 kilometers in a whole day, and there were more than ten Japanese soldiers who were hit by Wei Xiuying. The powerful Japanese army was no more than that, and the confidence of the two guerrilla commanders in the battle was greatly increased. After that, the guerrilla column led by Wei Xiuying and Wei Biao killed and wounded more than 300 Japanese soldiers in half a year, and achieved brilliant results.

After the 21st Brigade of the 5th Division of the Japanese Army captured Qinzhou, the division commander Akito Nakamura led the tank wing and heavy artillery wing to Qinzhou. After careful analysis, Akito Nakamura believed that the enemy's implementation of blocking tactics was aimed at slowing down the attack. Therefore, he decided to use the chariot wing to open the way, and the heavy artillery wing to strike with fire, and quickly break through the enemy's interception. Commander Kojo Michiro was worried that the 5th Division would go deep alone, so he ordered Akito Nakamura to wait for the 104th Division to advance in the center of Qinzhou, and the two sides reached a flat push to form an echoing trend. However, the 104th Division advanced too slowly, like a snail crawling again.

Akito Nakamura couldn't wait any longer and ordered the chariot wing to attack, and he was going to quickly occupy Nanning. The Japanese army began to strengthen from the enemy resistance in the north of Qinzhou, and Nakamura Akito was even more sure that the enemy's defense line in Nanning had not formed a deep defense at all, and the air force reconnaissance also confirmed this, so the commander Furuzhuang Michiro had no choice but to let Nakamura Akito's bold advance. Fortunately, the 38th Division of the Japanese Army followed up behind and would support the operation at any time. Commander Guzhuang Ganlang received information that the Chinese army had invested elite troops in the Nanning defense line, and he was relieved.

In the eyes of the Japanese army, the elite troops were the 5th Army, and a large number of tanks, armored fighting vehicles, and heavy artillery positions appeared in Nanning. A large number of fake equipment deceived the Japanese army, and the Japanese army began to concentrate its air forces to bomb Nanning fiercely, and the Japanese army wanted to completely destroy the tanks, artillery and armored fighting vehicles of the 5th Army. Every bombing by the Japanese army had to be taken by aerial photography, and the bombed tank and artillery positions that appeared in the photos were recorded. In the records of the Japanese army, the number of tanks, combat vehicles, and artillery that bombarded the enemy was decreasing every time.

Five days later, the forward units of the 5th Division advanced to the outer defense line of Nanning, and the battle began to be fierce, and the speed of the Japanese attack slowed down. Encountering the enemy's heavy defense, the division commander Akito Nakamura was excited. Advocating force, he liked to fight tragic offensive and defensive battles, which not only demonstrated the strength and invincibility of the Imperial Japanese Army, but also destroyed the enemy's heavy troops. Akito Nakamura submitted a campaign report to the headquarters, believing that if the enemy's heavy forces were eliminated on the Nanning front, the next step in capturing Guilin would be a matter of course. Commander Guzhuang Ganlang also saw this, and immediately threw all his air power into the front line of Nanning.
