Ouyang held a middle-aged man's hands tightly, and he was very grateful in his heart.
This middle-aged man, wearing a pair of round glasses and a long robe, looked very elegant, and his name was Yu Mohan, who was one of the important responsible persons of the Southern Bureau of our party.
Yu Mohan said: "Comrade Ouyang, the head of the headquarters is really full of praise after reading your battle plan, so he specially explained to our Southern Bureau that in this battle to defend Guangzhou, all of us in the Southern Bureau will fully cooperate with your work!" ”
After finishing speaking, Yu Mohan introduced another old man to Ouyang, this person's name is Dong Lao, and he is also an old comrade of our party, who has lived in Daya Bay for generations, and knows the terrain of Daya Bay well.
"Then trouble Dong Lao!" Ouyang said with great joy.

October 3, 1938, 1 p.m., Fuzhou.
Headquarters of the 21st Army of the Japanese Army.
"Your Excellency Commander, urgent message from the Ministry of the Army!"
The Japanese adjutant read aloud.
At this moment, there were more than 20 Japanese officers gathered in the conference room, and one of the leaders was the person in charge of the meeting, Lieutenant General Guzhuang Ganro, who held the highest position.
Kojo Michiro, a native of Kumamoto Prefecture ~ Japan, was born in 1882.
In 1937, after the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, he first served as the commander of the Japanese army stationed in Taiwan, and concurrently served as the commander of the 5th Army of the Japanese army, and now serves as the commander of the 21st Army of the Japanese army, which has just been formed.
"Roar!"
After reading the telegram presented by the adjutant, Lieutenant General Guzhuang Ganlang looked overjoyed, and immediately got up to look at the group of Japanese officers sitting at the head of the group, and said in a loud voice:
"The warriors of the empire, just now the base camp of the Army Province, has begun to officially implement the plan to attack Guangzhou in China, and our 21st Army will shoulder this sacred mission!"
"The 104th Division, transported by the Imperial Navy at 10 o'clock this morning, set sail from Dalian, Manchukuo."
"The 18th Division also set sail from Shanghai at 11 a.m. today."
"The 5th Division, at 9 o'clock this morning, will depart from Qingdao!"
"That is to say, from today onwards, our big day ~ the 21st Army of the Imperial Army has been officially established!"
When the words fell, all the Japanese officers present at the moment cheered and couldn't help themselves.
Although the 21st Army of the Japanese Army has been formed for nearly half a month, it has always been an empty shelf, although the Army Province of the Japanese ~ base camp has already drawn up the combat sequence of the 21st Army, but due to the political struggle of various forces, the 21st Army has not been formally constructed.
Now that the 104th Division, the 18th Division, and the 5th Division have officially joined the battle sequence of the 21st Army, how can they not make everyone present happy?
The 104th Division is a special division from the northeast and temporarily formed from the reserves, and its combat effectiveness is relatively weak;
The 18th Division, since the Battle of Songhu, has been stationed near Hangzhou Bay for training, and its combat effectiveness is undoubtedly much stronger than that of the 104th Division.
The most gratifying thing for everyone was the addition of the 5th Division.
The 5th Division of the Japanese Army is one of the 17 permanent divisions of the Japanese Army, which has created a record of sweeping more than 70 divisions of the National ~ Army on the Chinese battlefield, and is known as the "Steel Army".
Its predecessor was the notorious Itagaki Seishiro, and the current division commander is Lieutenant General Toshiyoshi Ando.
The commander of the 21st Army, Lieutenant General Guzhuang Ganlang, said in a deep voice: "Now it is up to me to read out the plan for attacking Guangzhou formulated by the base camp!" ”
In an instant, all the Japanese officers present stood up in unison, waiting for the order with resolute faces.
"This operation will be divided into two phases!"
"The first stage began on October 12, with the main forces of the 18th Division, the 104th Division, and the 9th Brigade of the 5th Division, landing from Daya Bay in Guangdong, passing through Huidong, Pingtan and Huizhou, heading westward, and quickly arriving in the Dongjiang area."
"In the second stage, after the main force of the 5th Division arrives, it will strongly break through the Dongjiang defense line of the national army and attack Guangzhou in three ways."
"At the same time, if the war does not go well, the 5th Division will transfer a part of its troops to take the risk of landing at the mouth of the Pearl River, capture the Humen Fortress heavily defended by the National ~ Army, and cooperate with the main force of the army from south to north, take Guangzhou in one fell swoop, and cut off China's only remaining maritime lifeline!"
"Hey!"
In an instant, a group of Japanese officers replied one after another.
After the battle plan was read out, Commander Guzhuang Ganlang's heart was quite enthusiastic!
He knows very well what this battle against Guangzhou will mean!
It means that as long as the Japanese army takes Guangzhou, it can support the Japanese army in the Battle of Wuhan to the greatest extent, so as to achieve the strategic goal of conquering the whole of China.
And he Guzhuang Ganlang will become a hero of the empire!
The commander, Lieutenant General Furujo Michiro, once again said in a loud voice: "Imperial soldiers, in this operation, all of our 21st Army will shoulder the trust of His Majesty the Emperor and the belief of the entire Imperial Japanese Army, so we can only win and not lose in this battle!" ”
After a pause, Furujo Ganro raised his hands and shouted, "Long live His Majesty the Emperor!" ”
Immediately, a group of Japanese officers also raised their hands and raised their arms and shouted.
"Long live His Majesty the Emperor!"
"Long live His Majesty the Emperor!"
"Long live His Majesty the Emperor!"

104th Division of the Japanese Army.
Lieutenant General Toshio Miyake, commander of the division, was also very excited when he received a telegram from Commander Michiro Furujo.
He said to a group of officers: "Warriors, this battle will be the first major battle of our 104th Division since its formation, and in this battle, we will step on the white bones of Chinese soldiers and raise the prestige of our 104th Division in one fell swoop!" ”
~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~
18th Division of the Japanese Army.
Lieutenant General Cheng Cheng of the division and regiment for a long time, with a sneer and disdain on his face.
"China's soldiers are a rabble, and we will definitely win this battle!"
Hearing this, a group of Japanese officers also strongly agreed.
"Since the Imperial Holy War, our great day ~ this imperial army has won many battles, and the Chinese ~ army has been defeated and retreated, and we have no reason to sink into the sand!"
"Roar!"
"According to the information from the Imperial Mei organ, the 12th Group Army of the National ~ Army stationed in Guangdong has a total of more than 80,000 troops, and the weapons and equipment of its troops are extremely simple, and the troops are scattered, I think we will be able to completely take the entire territory of Guangdong in less than a week!"
~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~
The 5th Division of the Japanese Army.
Lieutenant General Ando Jichi, the commander of the division, looked at the officers present with a solemn face, and sneered: "Everyone, in this operation, you must put away your contempt and arrogance, China~ The army is not as vulnerable as we imagined. ”
"Since the First Battle of Lugou Bridge, although our Japanese Imperial Army has been invincible in Shanghai, Nanjing, North China, Shanxi, and Central China, since 1938, the Chinese ~ army has annihilated more than 100,000 people in Xuzhou, Lanfeng, and Taihang Mountain."
"We can see the tenacity of the Chinese army's resistance, far beyond our imagination!"
"There is an old Chinese saying that 'the lion fights the rabbit, and also uses all his strength', in order to be able to completely annihilate the defenders of Guangdong, we should be more vigorous in order to live up to the trust of His Majesty the Emperor."
"Therefore, I, Ando Jiji, am here, and once again, you must put away your contempt!"
Ouyang was not able to hear the combat meetings of the 104th Division, the 18th Division, and the 5th Division, otherwise he would have sighed.
Compared with the contempt and arrogance of the 104th Division and the 18th Division, the 5th Division of the Japanese Army is tantamount to being too powerful!
The key to its strength lies not in the quality of its weapons and the bravery of its soldiers, but in the hearts of its officers and men.
"The lion fights the rabbit, and he uses all his strength!"
In the entire Japanese army invading China, there are a few people who can do it, and now this sentence is the reason why the 5th Division was able to sweep the Chinese battlefield!
The 5th Division of the Japanese Army, its combat effectiveness has completely exploded the 104th Division and the 18th Division, they will be the 12th Group Army of the National ~ Army and the 512th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army led by Ouyang, the biggest enemy!
