Chapter 402: Cai Ye Leads His Troops to Guang (Second Update)
"Okay, please rest assured Commander-in-Chief Yu, I will definitely arrive before 1 o'clock in the afternoon!"
After Ouyang finished talking to the phone, he put down the phone, and his face was full of joy. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Seeing this, Ma Jiujin immediately asked, "Brigade commander, Commander-in-Chief Yu agreed!" ā
"Hmm!"
Ouyang nodded and said, "Yes, Commander-in-Chief Yu agreed, but with such a big bet, it is far from enough for him to agree alone." ā
"It is necessary to get the support of all the generals of the 12th Group Army, as well as the approval of the two giants, Wu Tiecheng, chairman of Guangdong Province, and Zeng Yangfu, commander of the Guangzhou Division, otherwise even if this plan is forcibly implemented, it will only be a dead letter."
Hearing this, Ma Jiujin thought about it.
"Prepare the car now!" Ouyang said firmly.
"Yes, Brigadier General!" Ma Jiujin immediately responded.
On October 19, 1938, at 12 noon, Ouyang rushed to the general headquarters of the 12th Group Army, and at the same time, he was led by a captain officer of the National ~ Army to a huge conference room large enough to accommodate 100 people.
The captain of the national army said respectfully: "Please take a seat first Brigade Commander Ou, and the generals of our group army will also arrive soon." ā
At this moment, in the huge conference room, there was only Ouyang alone.
The reason why he came early was to organize his words again, and the next key was to convince the bigwigs of the 12th Army.
Time passed bit by bit, and half an hour passed in a blink of an eye, and more than a dozen officers sat down in the conference room one after another, the lowest rank was a major general, and there were several lieutenant generals, one of whom attracted Ouyang's special attention.
Li Zhenqiu, commander of the 12th Army of the 65th Group Army of the National Revolutionary Army.
Seeing Li Zhenqiu, Ouyang immediately remembered some records about Li Zhenqiu in later generations, among which there was such an evaluation, which Ouyang thought was very pertinent.
"Taishi Gongshu "Historical Records", it is said that Li Guang is uninhibited, and he shares the joys and hardships with the soldiers, and people are happy to die for the service, so the enemy cannot commit it, and he is a famous general of the Han Dynasty."
"General Li Zhenqiu, a Cantonese citizen, also has the style of Li Guangzong in his management of the army, and he is constantly broken by the system, and the people in his department fight for themselves, so they are known as good at fighting, but they are also regretted by the number of odds."
This evaluation of General Li Zhenqiu came from Guo Moruo's mouth.
In his words, he greatly praised Li Zhenqiu's style of managing troops and fighting!
~~~~~
A little later, the meeting at 1 p.m. was less than a few minutes away.
At this moment, in the entire conference room, there were already more than 20 people, all of whom were high-level generals of the 12th Group Army.
As soon as there were more people, they began to talk to each other.
"What do you say the head has summoned us this time?"
"What can it be? It must be a problem of the war ahead! ā
"Speaking of the war ahead, it's not too optimistic!"
"Although the Japanese army was heavily damaged by the 62nd Army and the Eighth Route Army in Daya Bay, with heavy casualties, with several fierce battles in the past few days, our army has lost more than a dozen county towns one after another, and has been defeated and retreated, on the other hand, the Japanese offensive posture has been fully launched."
"Yes, I estimate that in two days, Huizhou and Heyuan will not be guaranteed!"
"Once Huizhou falls, Dongguan will bear the brunt and become the focus of the Japanese attack."
"No, the source of the river is the key, once the source of the river falls, the Japanese army can drive straight in, one horse Pingchuan, straight to the city of Guangzhou."
"Anyway, it's hard to protect my Guangzhou city!"
"We have the ambition to serve the country, but we have no power to return to heaven!"
"In my opinion, it is better to abandon Guangzhou, so as to save troops, retreat to northern Guangdong, and wait for the time to carry out a counteroffensive strategy!"
Ouyang listened quietly to everyone's words on the side, and memorized their words word for word in his mind.
"Sure enough, most people are pessimistic about the defense of Guangzhou this time, and no one believes that they can repel the attacking Japanese army."
Ouyang thought so in his heart.
At this moment, outside the conference room, there was a sudden shout.
"It's always here!"
Suddenly, everyone in the conference room, including Ouyang, stood up and waited for the arrival of Commander-in-Chief Yu Hanmou.
After a few breaths, Yu Hanmou walked into the conference room in a hurry, followed by two people behind him.
Chairman of Guangdong Province, Wu Tiecheng;
Mayor of Guangzhou, Zeng Yangfu;
Coupled with the commander-in-chief Yu Hanmou, the three giants of Guangdong are all here.
The specifications of this meeting are enough to be called the highest-level military conference in Guangdong.
Yu Hanmou walked to the first place and sat down, and immediately pressed his hand to let everyone sit down.
"The meeting has officially begun!"
For a while, the entire conference room was filled with a huge depression, and everyone guessed that this meeting would determine the final direction of the defense of Guangzhou!
At present, the battle ahead cannot be said to be a bad mess, but the defeat of the 12th Army has been born, and it is only a matter of time before Guangzhou can hold out.
The choice now is whether to fight to the death and not retreat, or abandon Guangzhou and save troops.
Yu Hanmou said in a deep voice: "There is only one purpose for calling everyone here today, that is, to discuss how to counterattack the Japanese army and drive the little devils out of our Guangdong!" ā
"Wow!"
Suddenly, everyone in the entire conference room let out a huge uproar, and some even let out exclamations.
Provincial Chairman Wu Tiecheng was stunned: "Chief Seat, are you sure you weren't joking with everyone just now?" ā
Zeng Yangfu then said: "Boss, this joke must not be opened!" Now that the Japanese army is like a rainbow, our army has been defeated, with our tens of thousands of people, how can we defeat the tiger and wolf army of nearly 100,000 Japanese troops? The top priority at the moment should be to order the whole army to retreat and hold Guangzhou with all its might! ā
Counterattack the Japanese army?
Drive the Japanese out of Guangdong?
In the eyes of everyone, this is simply a fantasy!
A major general of the National ~ Army got up and said bluntly: "General Seat, now the 62nd Army and the 63rd Army are all losing troops and losing generals, whether they can hold the precarious Huizhou and Heyuan, it is very difficult, and the city of Guangzhou is also precarious, what do we use to counterattack the Japanese army?" ā
This sentence was immediately recognized by many officers present.
"Boss, our strength is not as good as the Japanese army, how can we be the opponent of the Japanese army, you have to think twice!"
At the moment, one by one the national ~ military officers have admonished.
To defeat the extremely powerful Japanese army with few strikes is simply wishful thinking!
"Who says we're outnumbered?"
Commander-in-Chief Yu Hanmou said in a deep voice: "As early as two days ago, the 64th Army, the 66th Army, the 1st Independent Brigade, the 2nd Independent Brigade and other units of our group army that went to the Wuhan battlefield, totaling more than 60,000 people, have all set off to help Guangzhou, and will arrive in Guangzhou at about 5 o'clock, 6 o'clock, and 8 o'clock tonight. ā
"In this way, the total strength of our Guangdong garrison will once again exceed 130,000 people, which is 50,000 more than the 80,000 people of the 21st Army of the Japanese Army."
"The strength of our army will surpass the Japanese army at this point, why is there no power to counterattack?"
For a moment, everyone in the conference room was shocked!
Tens of thousands of people who participated in the battle of Wuhan actually returned to Guangzhou, which is something that no one knows.
Even the other two giants, Wu Tiecheng and Zeng Yangfu, didn't know about it.
At that moment, an officer shouted excitedly: "Okay, in this way, we are not without the strength to fight, even if we can't defeat the Japanese army, but it is more than enough to hold on to Guangzhou for half a month." ā
"That's it, that's it!"
Suddenly, everyone in the entire conference room was gearing up and wanted to do a big job.
But from their words and expressions, Ouyang began to capture a trace of unconfidence very clearly.
"They still want to focus on defense, but how can they defeat 80,000 Japanese troops by defense alone? Not to mention the 130,000 national ~ army, it is the strength of the doubling on this basis, and it is not easy to hold the city of Guangzhou! ā
Ouyang shook his head and smiled bitterly.
It seems that if you want to change the inherent consciousness of the officers, you have to work hard to lobby.
"Be quiet!"
Yu Hanmou said again: "In addition to the various units of our army that went on an expedition to Wuhan and returned to Guangzhou, we also have a support army!" ā
"Oh?"
Immediately, everyone present became curious.
And reinforcements?
Who is it?
How many people are there?
"Huh!"
Ouyang smiled faintly, he really knew where this support soldier came from.
Yu Hanmou glanced at the people present, and said in a deep voice: "General Cai Ye of the Hainan Army, who will lead more than 20,000 troops, will arrive in Guangzhou at 4 o'clock this afternoon to participate in the war against Japan!" ā
