Yamashita Fengwen is not a fool, so he can't see the opponent's battle, which makes him have a headache, and he loses the lives of hundreds of soldiers every day, and he can't even catch the shadow of the opponent, this battle can't be fought, and the Cantonese army troops who escaped from the sky are rushing towards Guangzhou like a swarm, hoping that his father and mother will have two more tuǐ'er, and the dangerous situation in the direction of Guangdong has been temporarily alleviated.

On 2 May, Tang Qiuli left Quanzhou, Fujian, and rushed to Guangzhou to organize the Guangzhou Campaign; on the same day, he received a reconnaissance report from the special operations detachment that the Japanese troops attacking Guangxi, Masaharu Honma's Third Army and Kenji Iijima's Fourth Army, with a large number of tank and heavy artillery units, were attacking from the front line of Fangchenggang, Qinzhou, Beihai, and Hepu, and the target was to Nining.

Tang Qiuli immediately transferred this information to Bai Chongxi, the commander of Nanning's urban defense, and reminded him of his idea that the Japanese army's attack on Nanning was about to begin, Bai Chongxi called back, "Vice Chairman Tang, I received the call, thank you for the vice chairman's concern about the battle situation in Nanning, I, the military and people in Guangxi, have made preparations to meet the invading Japanese army, report the battle in detail, and report it at any time," Since Bai Chongxi said so, Tang Qiuli can't talk more, he can only pay close attention to the war in Nanning.

On May 6, the vanguard of the Japanese Third Army, the 11th Division Takashima Wing, was the first to reach the periphery of Nanning.

Takashima himself was a faithful believer in the invincibility of the Imperial Japanese Army, and in his eyes, those Chinese soldiers were like rows of prisoners kneeling on the ground, waiting for him to cut off their heads.

On the way to raid Nanning, there was no resistance from the Gui army, and the bushido complex in Takashima's bones began to flood indefinitely, especially when I heard that the troops of His Excellency Yamashita Fengwen could occupy a county town with a squadron, and the shoes of those soldiers were lost, Takashima was anxious, and desperately urged the troops to speed up the march, so that the distance between Takashima's wing and the main force of the division was getting farther and farther, exceeding the three-day journey.

Nanning is in front of you, looking through the binoculars, Nanning City is quiet, it seems that the whole city of the Zhi Na people have run out, on the periphery of the city, there are trenches dug by the Zhi Na army, a barbed wire, blocking the way, it seems that for a while, Gao Dao did not find a trace of a Zhi Na soldier, this guy pondered.

Could it be that all the people in Africa have run away? If this is the case, it is a great merit waiting for him, immediately occupy Nanning City, do a beautiful job to show His Excellency the division commander, in the annals of the Southern Dispatch Army, the name of Takashima and Takashima Wing will definitely have a heavy stroke, the more I think about it, the more excited I become, and my brain has a fever of 100 degrees.

"Order, the artillery brigade immediately shelled the target in front of them, and the brigades entered the starting point of the charge, and after the shelling, occupied the city of Nanning," although he was crazy, the order he gave was still clear, he just wanted to occupy Nanning and make meritorious contributions, but he didn't look at his own strength, a wing of more than 2,000 people, he dared to rashly launch an attack, a typical madman's approach, a big head of dung.

Takashima's order frightened the chief of staff, Saiyu Shaosa, who had all the information about Nanning reported by the division headquarters, and knew that this city was the capital of Guangxi in China, and the key defense area of the Guangxi Army in China, and the people of China had gathered more than 100,000 troops here, and attacked with more than 2,000 people in a wing, and there was no heavy artillery to cooperate, which was no different from suicide.

"Your Excellency Wing Commander, please be cautious, the intelligence reported by the division headquarters shows that there are more than 100,000 soldiers in Nanning City, which is dozens of times the strength of our wing, besides, the marching speed of our wing is too fast, and all the heavy weapons are left behind.

The chief of staff said very tactfully, mainly to take care of the face of His Excellency the Wing Commander, and he had already greeted Takashima's nvxìng relatives countless times in his heart, how could he be this madman, but Takashima was not happy, he was not pleasing to the eye when he looked at this guy, he wore gold wire glasses, thinking that he was a tactician, the brand of Tokyo Imperial University, he couldn't scare the captain of the wing, he could only scare those recruits.

"Hani? Xiyou-kun, your soldier's is not, coward's work, you should feel ashamed that an ordinary soldier of the Fifteenth Army is braver than you, I really doubt it, how did you get promoted to the rank of young officer? After the shelling, there are not a few soldiers left, so let's carry out the order," Takashima sank his face at that time, and in front of many staff officers, he was not polite at all, and his head was damaged for a while, and the chief of staff of Nishiari was choked with panic and shortness of breath, and his thin face swelled into a pig's liver.

"Boom, boom, boom," one shell after another, constantly falling on the outer positions of Nanning, the sound of explosions, in the open field back to dàng, the Gao Dao Wing, this artillery brigade, belongs to the light artillery, only equipped with 18 mén 92 infantry guns, with more than 20 mén mortars, in the front of more than 10 kilometers, such a small caliber artillery, such a small artillery, how much role can be played, except for seeing a cloud of rising gunsmoke, the actual role is very limited.

In the entire battle sequence of the Gui Army, Zhang Gan's Ninth Army is known for its strong combat style, well-trained soldiers, and weapons and equipment are also prioritized.

The 314th Regiment, in the Ninth Army, is also one of the most important first-class main regiments, with more than 1,500 people in the regiment, most of whom are veterans

These veterans, who are accustomed to seeing the wind, leaned against the xiōng wall of the trenches, casually listening to the sound of the Japanese army's shelling, only some recruits, every time the shell exploded, they couldn't help but tremble, and they were shelled for more than ten minutes, watching the shells explode far and near, in addition to blowing up a cloud of dirt, they didn't hurt a few people, and then looked at the veterans around them who closed their eyes and recuperated, and gradually settled down, and felt that the artillery fire of the little devil was not so terrible.

The regiment commander, Colonel Wu Xiaoxian, with a steel helmet, followed by a staff officer and a few guards, was in the trench with a cat waist, patrolling the fortifications one by one, and ordered in a low voice, "Pay attention to concealment, wait for the little devil's shelling to stop, don't be in a hurry to shoot, prepare the grenades for me, put the little devils within fifty meters and then fight, in three minutes, throw five grenades to me, and beat these *** to death, do you hear?" ”

To tell the truth, Wu Xiaoxian's way of fighting is very dangerous, at a distance of fifty meters, with the Japanese army's individual soldiers, within twenty seconds, they can rush to the front of the trench, and if they are not very good, the forward position will be broken through, but Wu Xiaoxian has a bottom in his heart, the posture of the little devil is that there is no one in his eyes, they have not yet found the soldiers in the trench, look at the landing point of the shell, with a big blind xìng, the little devil charges, it must be piled up, and the grenade is the best weapon.

In the first-line trenches, there are two battalions of troops, more than 900 people, more than 4,000 grenades, and they are not blown into a wall of fire, and in the second trench, two heavy machine gun companies are set up, and more than 30 tǐng heavy machine guns are enough to clean up the remaining little devils.

An hour later, the Japanese artillery bombardment stopped, Takashima looked at the Gui army position shrouded in gunpowder smoke with satisfaction, and was satisfied with the effect of this shelling, during the shelling, he did not see a single soldier of Shina, which proved his judgment, the timid Shina soldier had already abandoned the city and fled, if under the shelling of such a scale, the Shina soldier who was still standing still had not appeared

Takashima forgot how much light artillery such as Type 92 infantry guns and mortars could damage the positions of the Gui army, which had been prepared for a long time? It's just that countless craters and a few wisps of smoke have been added, "Kill jī to give" Takashima pulled out his command knife, and the tip of the knife was in the direction of Ningcheng, and he gave the order to charge.

The mouth of the chief of staff of Xiyou chún instigated a few times, looking at His Excellency the Wing Captain who was carried away by the excitement and haired like a bull, gave up his efforts, put the words on his lips, and swallowed them back into his stomach intact, His Excellency the Wing Captain was on the rise, he didn't want to be slapped, he just felt that there was no bottom in his heart, Nanning City in front of him was abnormally quiet, and Captain Takashima was arrogant and confused, thinking like this, Xiyou's pace couldn't help but slow down, falling behind the charging Japanese brigade.

The Japanese soldiers of the three brigades launched a charge on the front, which was only four or five kilometers wide, and the Japanese soldiers were so arrogant that they did not even have the usual tactical movements, so they tǐng waist boards, holding the three eight guns of the Ming Huang bayonet, swaggering step by step to approach the Gui army's position.
