Major General Chen Han, commander of the Guangdong Provincial Garrison Command, mobilized reinforcements from all over the garrison area, which seems to be five brigades, which is quite a lot, but these are all local garrison troops, and the gap between them and the main field brigade of the independent division is not only in terms of weapons and equipment, but also in terms of strength, and the full establishment of the main field brigade of the independent division is 15,000 to 17,000 men per brigade.

The brigades under the jurisdiction of the Guangdong Garrison Command have a full establishment of no more than 6,000 people, and the vast majority of the soldiers come from Yu Hanmou's old Guangdong army, which was expanded and reformed from the old foundation of Chen Han's troops.

Tang Qiuli was also worried about this, the troops defending Guiyang, combined, but six brigades of 37,800 people, can really fight, no more than 8,000 people, facing the Central Army, is seven divisions of nearly 100,000 people, so, Tang Qiuli Jiany, Chen Han, if necessary, can abandon Guiyang, lest the troops suffer heavy losses.

Chen Han's idea is similar to that of Li Honggang, the commander of the 29th Corps, Guiyang is his defense area, Xu Liejun took advantage of Lao Jiang's strength to suddenly make trouble, obviously he did not put himself in his eyes, Chen Han's heart was holding back a fire, he just wanted to fight a tough battle with the Central Army in Guiyang, and play the prestige and fame of the Guangdong garrison.

In the future, guarding this side will also save a lot of effort, Chen Han also has an idea, he is the brigade commander who came down from the main force, took over Yu Hanmou's old department, and his heart is always not very comfortable, these soldiers are too far from his original troops, he wants to take advantage of this battle to become the main force, at least the second-line troops, Ma Chaoyang, Jiang Yanming and several other iron buddies have become the commander of the corps with more than 100,000 troops, and they went abroad to fight little devils.

Chen Han's heart itched, he is not a brute and the division commander transferred back from Burma, he can arrive within three days, as long as he sticks to Guiyang for three days, Xu Liejun, this bastard, see how he still makes trouble, moreover, Guiyang has become one of the logistics bases of the Burmese battlefield, and many arsenals and warehouses of the logistics department of the independent division are in Guiyang.

If you withdraw without fighting and let Xu Liejun's gang of bandits, the losses will be incalculable, not to mention anything else, just the complaints of the old man Zhang Quan, the Minister of Logistics, are enough for himself to suffer for a few years, the citizens of Guiyang have suffered a scourge, how do you look at the troops of the Independent Division, how do you think of yourself? Therefore, Guiyang is a game that must be guarded.

Chang Feng, chief of staff of the Chongqing National Government, also expressed concern about sticking to Guiyang, and he once proposed to the division commander Tang Qiuli to build a plan: "Division commander, in order to buy enough time for the reinforcements of the troops in Guiyang, do we send a clear message to the Military Commission of the Chongqing National Government, asking them to immediately stop Xu Liejun's sabotage, even if it is to stop it for a day or two!" ”

Tang Qiuli sneered, shook his head and said: "It's useless, if you don't use him Jiang to support him behind his back, how much courage and capital Xu Lie has to stab us in the back, when the time comes, the government will be able to push it clean with a vague statement, I have thought of it, this is a local dispute, the government should not intervene, but you can send someone to investigate on the spot and stop Xu's behavior, it is him for two days, and he is also for half a year."

Chang Feng said silently, he admitted that he didn't have a thorough view of Chairman Chiang, he just didn't understand, what was Chairman Chiang going to do at this time to attack the rear base of the independent division? Eliminate the power of the Independent Division at home? That's wishful thinking! Secretly helping Ito? Chang Feng, like Tang Qiuli, was also taken aback by his thoughts.

Chen Han's troops, two days later, from the south of Guiyang, into the city of Guiyang, as soon as they entered Guiyang, Chen Han's brows never relaxed, to be honest, Guiyang can not be called a well-fortified city, the entire city's defense system, almost a blank, this also complains about the Guiyang Garrison Brigade Commander Colonel Huang Zhixiang.

The combat object of the independent division is the Japanese, and now, except for that place in the northeast, there is not even a single ghost of Japanese soldiers. Central Army? They are all first-class sequences, not hardcore friendly forces, at least not enemies, so the construction of urban fortifications in Guiyang has not attracted enough attention.

There is a know, Xu Liejun, this guy, will come to such a hand, Chen Han did not blame Huang Zhixiang, he is the commander of the garrison, if you want to say responsibility, he is the biggest, he also knows that the equipment of his troops is still at a disadvantage compared to the Central Army, and the number of troops is small, and it is placed in the field, as long as the Central Army attacks ruthlessly, in less than a day, it can fight more than half.

Therefore, Chen Han shrank the troops into the urban area, arranged two lines of defense, built barricades, relied on the streets in the city, fought street battles, and dragged down the attack of the Central Army step by step, holding on for three days, and he also sent troops to evacuate the citizens in the city to the south, and worked hard for a day and a night, and the city defense system in Guiyang finally had a prototype.

Liao Huaizheng, commander of the Central Army, learned that the reinforcements from the Guangzhou garrison area had entered Guiyang, with a strength of more than 30,000 people, he couldn't help frowning, and secretly felt a little annoyed, "Then Chen Han really doesn't know what to do, he opened his own net and left all the openings for you to retreat south, why are you still putting on a desperate posture?" ”

"With your more than 30,000 soldiers, can you be the best opponent of 100,000 American-style equipment? Bite off more than one can chew! Liao Huaizheng didn't care about it, he knew the details of the troops in the Guangdong garrison area very well, they were all Yu Hanmou's old foundation, and the combat effectiveness of the Guangdong army was not worth mentioning, and the only thing he was worried about was the return of the main force of the independent division in Burma.

In two days, there was no indication that the main force of the independent division on the front line of Libao in Myanmar returned to Guiyang, and Liao Huaizheng also put his mind at ease, since he has done his best to be benevolent and righteous, and gave you Chen Han a way to live, if you don't go, then don't blame me Liao someone to do it, besides, Minister Chen repeatedly called and urged, "Prevent long nights and dreams, and do your best to solve the problem of Guiyang." ”

On 28 August, the Central Army, which had surrounded Guiyang on three sides, began to make frequent moves, and the opening for retreating south was finally blocked, and Guiyang was surrounded on all sides, becoming a de facto isolated city, and at about 6 o'clock that night, the Central Army completed its attack and deployment, only waiting for the early morning of 29 August to launch a general attack on Guiyang.

At the same time, the five brigades led by Zhang Hansheng, chief of staff of the Niangziguan Garrison Corps of the Independent Division, had also rushed to Leye in northern Guibei, and according to the current pace of marching, they could reach the city of Guiyang at noon on 29 August, that is to say, the main force of this independent division, which was as fast as the wind more than six hours after the Central Army launched its attack, could arrive.

Chen Cheng was right, the rapid mobility of the independent division's troops made him deeply jealous, and Zhang Hansheng's troops took less than two days from assembling in the eastern part of the Indochina Peninsula to returning to China

Zhang Hansheng jumped out of the armored command vehicle, looked at the tanks, artillery trucks, and military vehicles full of soldiers that were "rumbling" past him, his brows did not stretch, and he said to the communications staff officer: "Call the division commander, the division commander, I have returned to the Guiyang troops to help, and I have already arrived in northern Guiyang, and I am now continuing to advance in the direction of Guiyang, and it is expected that Guiyang will be reached at about 11 o'clock tomorrow at noon." ”

He did not know the specific time when the Central Army launched the attack, but he could sense the atmosphere of imminent war from the enemy's briefing under the division, and he knew better that the strength of Chen Han's troops, and that if they arrived in Guiyang one day earlier, they would be able to avoid more losses of the Guangdong garrison troops.

The report to the division means that at 11 o'clock in the afternoon of 29 August, his own plan should be at least about four hours in advance, and Zhang Hansheng said to the combat staff officer without replying: "Can the speed of the troops' march be further improved?" Grab four hours of your time? ”

The operational staff officer had a difficult look on his face and said: "Chief of Staff, this is already the limit, the troops have marched for forty-eight hours in a row, except for eating, there is almost no delay, just last night, there were already two cars, overturned into the ditch, the soldiers suffered dozens of casualties, we can't ignore the specific situation," Zhang Hansheng sighed, stomped his foot in hatred, and got into the command car.

What is unbelievable is that the troops of the five brigades of the independent division, 780,000 people, marched nearly 1,000 kilometers long distances, and there were several thousand military vehicles, artillery trucks, and tanks, and they crossed the border line.

After suffering a big loss in Guiyang, Chen Cheng complained fiercely in front of Chairman Jiang, and the old man was furious and summoned Dai Li and Ye Xiufeng to the official residence of Chairman Huangshan for a bucket of head splitting! ”

Ye Xiufeng's face was expressionless, and he didn't feel aggrieved, is the current Zhongtong still the previous Zhongtong? Being pressed to the death of Dai Li, and not being delisted, it is already a blessing in misfortune, even the salaries of intelligence officers are in arrears from time to time, and what ability does he have to carry out intelligence business, what he, the director of the bureau, has to do every day is to go to various yamen to beg for food.

The actual boss, Chen Guofu lives in a simple place, the Central Unification is no longer beautiful, it has become yesterday's yellow flower, it is normal to be scolded, looking at Chairman Jiang's anger, mainly to Dai Li, although he was scolded together, Xu Xiufeng's heart actually had an inexplicable pleasure, Dai Yunong's limelight was strong, the spring breeze was proud, the Military Command Bureau was in full swing, the old man was blue-eyed, and he asked for money and money

The eyeball-like treasure is almost held in the palm of the hand, this time it's good, isn't it also blind! Dai Li saw the schadenfreude in Ye Xiufeng's eyes, but he had his own troubles, and he couldn't say it to anyone.
