Lieutenant General Masaharu Honma, commander of the Third Army of the Japanese Southern Dispatch Army, commanded more than 100,000 troops, intending to annihilate the Gui army troops that broke through from Nanning in one fell swoop and occupy the northeast of Guangxi, but on the south bank of the Hongshui River, he was bombarded by Chang Feng, broke his halberd and sank into the sand, returned defeated, lost his official position, and ended up being escorted to a military court. http://

In the defense of Nanning, the Gui army, which suffered heavy losses, was unable to recapture Nanning in the south in a short period of time, and hid in the northeast of Guizhou to recuperate.

A few days later, Chang Feng said goodbye to Bai Chongxi, Bai Chongxi tried his best to stay, and asked angrily: "Chief of Staff, is it that Bai Chongxi is not thoughtful in entertaining the brothers of the Independent Division?" Chang Feng saw from Bai Chongxi's eyes what kind of relaxation was hidden in his heart, knowing that it was a scene, he said a few words, and rushed to the vicinity of Guizhou with his direct subordinate corps to stand by.

In fact, Bai Chongxi did not lose money, on the south bank of the Hongshui River, after the Gui soldiers collected through a sieve, he really got a lot of equipment, although most of them have been damaged, they can be repaired, they can still be used, the most surprising thing for Bai Chongxi is that in a mountain depression, more than 40 medium-caliber artillery pieces left by the Japanese army were found.

Even more than a few thousand shells were well preserved, and the unexpected windfall made Bai Chongxi feel very good, even he couldn't believe that under the terrifying artillery fire of the Corps directly under the Independent Division, there could still be intact artillery left, it should be that the Japanese soldiers witnessed the terrifying situation, dropped their equipment and ran, cheapened the Gui Army, and sent Chang Feng away, Bai Chongxi was really relieved Whoever is around the behemoth of the directly subordinate corps, there will be a sense of breathless oppression.

There was no war in Guangxi, so Tang Qiuli put all his energy into planning the Guangzhou CampaignAt this time, Tang Qiuli was on the front line of Guangzhou, concentrating all of Ma Chaoyang's Southeast Mobile Corps, Feng Jiwu's six infantry brigades of more than 280,000 troops, plus more than 70,000 people of the Yu Han Division of the Guangdong Army, although slightly less than the Japanese army attacking Guangdong, it could also be a battle.

In early June, Tang Qiuli issued a campaign order, and five brigades of Ma Chaoyang's division went out to the front line of Zhaoqing and Jiangmen to undertake the task of blocking the Japanese Fengwen 15th Army head-on, and the five brigades of Feng Jiwu's department marched covertly along the line of Kaiping and Enping to the Zhiyang River, lurking on the right flank of the Japanese 15th Army.

At the same time, he ordered Yu Hanmou's Cantonese army of more than 50,000 people to go from the Yunfu and Deqing lines to Luoding and Liantan to hide and wait on the left flank of Fengwen at the foot of the mountain, and was responsible for cutting off the connection between the Japanese army in Guangdong and the Japanese army in Nanning, Guangxi.

But there is a problem, which has been bothering Tang Qiuli, according to the current deployment of the Japanese army, it is still the 15th Army unit of Yamashita Fengwen who takes the lead, and it has always been a lonely army, but after being attacked by the special operations detachment along the way, the pace of the northward march has slowed down a lot, if it is said that Yamashita Fengwen is scared, he doesn't believe it anyway, where is Yamashita Fengwen's murderous name, there has never been such a small setback as the attack of the independent division troops, and it can't stop the footsteps of this war maniac.

What is even more puzzling is that the Japanese Seventh Army and the Eleventh Army, which followed behind the 15th Army, as well as the troops of the Taiwan Front Army that later joined the direction of Guangdong, stopped advancing in the direction of Guangzhou in the Zhanjiang, Maoming, and Huazhou areas of the Leizhou Peninsula, and were busy consolidating the occupied areas, establishing a puppet regime, and strengthening local public order.

The main force of the Japanese army's southern dispatch army stayed on the Leizhou Peninsula, and there were more than 400,000 troops, all of which were arrogant troops who had not been severely damaged and were in full swing, and there was no reason not to scoop down Guangzhou in one go.

However, Tang Qiuli looked at the situation map of the enemy and us in Guangdong for two days, dispelled this idea, and gave up this tempting idea, the 15th Army slowly advanced in the direction of Zhaoqing along the line of Nahuo and Heshui, all along the way are plains, there is no suitable encirclement terrain, and there is a Moyang River in the middle, and the five brigades of Feng Jiwu's department must cross the river before they can be put into the battlefield, and it is a taboo for soldiers to attack the enemy across the water.

Yu Hanmou's troops on the left flank, whether they can seal the mouth when the time comes, Tang Qiuli has no bottom in his heart, so he finally gave up the plan to kill Yamashita Fengwen, or the main force of the Japanese army in the Leizhou Peninsula area, Yamashita Fengwen's troops, known as the ace of the Japanese army's southern dispatch army, with more than 80,000 people, surrounded and annihilated a whole army of the Japanese army in the plains, and it was impossible to end the battle in three or two days.

At that time, Yamashita Fengwen has not been resolved, the battle is in a stalemate, more than 400,000 Japanese troops from the direction of the Leizhou Peninsula surrounded, who surrounds whom is not certain, although there are Feng Jiwu's remaining troops and direct corps as reinforcements, but in any case it is not the time to fight a decisive battle with the Japanese army in Guangdong, despite this, Tang Qiuli still according to the original deployment, mobilize troops, as long as there is a chance, he will never let go of Yamashita Fengwen, the mad dog.

Tang Qiuli's plan can be described as very safe, the troops lurking on both wings have not yet been discovered by the Japanese army, and the fifteenth army of Yamashita Fengwen is still slowly advancing in the direction of Zhaoqing, as long as he advances to the Zhaoqing line, and goes deeper, Tang Qiuli will be sure to seal the pocket and eat Yamashita Fengwen in one bite, the main force of the Japanese army on the Leizhou Peninsula will not be able to rescue it, and there will be no time, so Tang Qiuli only needs five days.

Guangzhou, in the battle headquarters, Tang Qiuli looked at Fengwen under the mountain and didn't know whether he was alive or dead, step by step towards the trap he had laid, just like the feeling of an old fox seeing a little chicken in his mouth, a telegram from Yunfu almost made him vomit blood, and the liaison officer sent to Yu Hanmou's Guangdong army called that Yu Hanmou's Guangdong army did not carry out the division commander's order at all, not only did not go forward to Luoding and Liantan, but instead shrank its forces, retreated to Gaoliang, Lecheng, and Sihui, and even gave up the original Yunfu and Deqing.

That is to say, Tang Qiuli's carefully arranged pocket array, not only did not tie his mouth tightly, but the foundation fell off, Tang Qiuli read the telegram, he was furious, and he tore the telegram to shreds angrily, I can't remember how long I didn't feel so angry, Yu Hanmou didn't dare to participate in the war, at least it should be explained, and he wouldn't force him, but when the battle had been deployed, he left the entire left flank to the Japanese army in the direction of Nanning.

The equipment was given to you, but at the critical time, he came to this hand, in addition to anger, he was also shocked into a cold sweat, fortunately he did not launch an attack on the Fengwen troops under the mountain, otherwise, the Japanese army in the direction of Nanning came over, and his own hundreds of thousands of troops, I don't know how they died, they were sold alive by Yu Hanmou, the bastard, Tang Qiuli walked back and forth in the command headquarters with a gloomy face.

Mei Xue saw her husband's gloomy face that was about to drip, distressed and worried, whenever this situation appeared, it was when her husband was angry and about to explode, so she hurriedly pulled Tang Qiuli to a chair and sat down, poured a cup of tea, blew it carefully a few times, and tried the temperature before it reached his hand, and then said softly: "Qiuli, don't be angry, you are angry, you have to be calm in everything, after all, there has been no loss yet, this person, just don't meet in the future."

His wife's words, Buddha was a sedative, which made Tang Qiuli wake up from his rage and give Mei Xue an ugly smile, in fact, Mei Xue's words did not have any actual content, nor did they solve any problems, but in his ears, they did have the effect of calming his mind, especially Mei Xue's worried eyes, which instantly pierced his heart, but strengthened the idea of getting rid of Yu Hanmou.

If this person is not removed, it will be a disaster after all, the battle situation is chaotic, there are many uncertain factors, leaving this guy who is yang and yin, sooner or later he will harm the people around him, and the lives of countless soldiers, if Yu Hanmou knows, a little woman by Tang Qiuli's side, out of concern for her husband's few words, but let her life enter the countdown, I don't know how depressed to be.

took a sip of tea and said to Mei Xue: "Xue'er, I'm not angry, this person is not worth being angry with him, you can rest assured," turned his head and ordered a staff officer to arrive: "Record, Yu Hanmou, the Guangdong Provincial Government and Guangdong Garrison Commander, after receiving the telegram, return to Guangzhou as soon as possible, the enemy situation has changed, cancel the previous battle plan, all units of the Guangdong Army are stationed in place, waiting for orders, and after you return to Guangzhou, there will be a new combat deployment, which needs to be discussed in detail in person." ”

The staff officer who recorded the contents of the telegram, after dictating it, when he saluted, found that a cold light appeared in the eyes of the division commander, and his heart was excited, and he secretly thought, "I'm afraid that in the eyes of the division commander, Yu Hanmou has become a dead man," Tang Qiuli didn't expect this telegram to allow Yu Hanmou to return to Guangzhou obediently, and the one who could get into his position was not as cunning as an old fox, what did he do, he knew best in his heart that Tang Qiuli just needed a reason to do it.

In the evening, the news came that Tang Qiuli was so startled that he almost fainted, and Chu Tian, the head of the special operations detachment operating in the southwestern part of Guangdong, reported that an hour ago, the 15th Army of Fengwen under the mountain, which had been advancing northward, suddenly turned around and returned and marched in the direction of Nanning.

That is to say, the big fish in his hand slipped away, and the well-planned Guangzhou campaign could not be fought, and Tang Qiuli and his more than 200,000 troops were hung on the front line of Guangzhou in the temple, and they didn't play with him, Tang Qiuli felt inexplicable and was tricked by the Japanese.
