When he went to visit General Yu Hanmou, commander-in-chief of the 12th Group Army, Wang Haitao still made some preparations, and after he was ready, Wang Haitao took a guard battalion on the road, and there were two reconnaissance detachments in front of him leading the way and serving as guards. Because they are basically mountain roads, Wang Haitao did not use a car this time, and all of them were on foot.

After three days of walking, Wang Haitao and his troops approached the county town of Quang Ninh, where the reconnaissance detachment in front of them encountered the mobile outpost of the 62nd Army. After the reconnaissance detachment explained its intention to the sentinels, two sentries immediately returned to the city to report the news, and the other two sentries led Wang Haitao's team to the county seat of Guangning. Not long after, Wang Haitao arrived at the west gate of Guangning City, and Zhang Da, the commander of the 62nd Army at the city gate, was already waiting for Wang Haitao.

Yu Hanmou was not at the gate of the city, Wang Haitao was not surprised, after all, he was also the commander of the 27th Group Army, the first-class general of the National Revolutionary Army, and the commander-in-chief of the Guangdong Campaign, and he was able to send his cronies Zhang Da, the commander of the 62nd Army, to greet Wang Haitao It was very face-saving for Wang Haitao. At the gate of the city, Zhang Da walked up to Wang Haitao, stood up and saluted and said: "Zhang Da, commander of the 62nd Army of the National Revolutionary Army, greet Commander Wang, and welcome Commander Wang to Guangning County. ”

Wang Haitao returned a military salute and replied: "Wang Haitao, commander of the 90th Army of the National Revolutionary Army, came to visit Commander Yu and asked Commander Zhang to introduce him on his behalf. Zhang Da said: "The Wang army has been working hard all the way for a long time, and Commander Yu is already waiting for Commander Wang at the headquarters." Commander Wang, please. "The county seat of Guangning is not big, and Wang Haitao followed Zhang Da to the headquarters of the Twelfth Army from the gate of the city in a quarter of an hour.

Under the guidance of Commander Zhang Da, Wang Haitao only brought two guards into the headquarters. At the door of a large room with an open door, Zhang Da shouted into the room: "Report to Commander Yu, General Wang Haitao, commander of the 90th Army, has arrived." At this time, Wang Haitao saw a person dressed in the uniform of a general of the national army standing up in front of the innermost desk, this person was about forty years old, with a national character face, a dignified appearance, and stood there with the might of a superior person.

Not surprisingly, this person should be Yu Hanmou, the commander of the 12th Army. Sure enough, as soon as this person heard Zhang Da's words, he walked around the desk and said, "Commander Wang is here, please come in!" Wang Haitao walked into the room from the door, came to Yu Hanmou in a few steps, and said after standing up and saluting: "Wang Haitao, commander of the 90th Army of the National Revolutionary Army, meet Commander Yu." ”

After Yu Hanmou returned a military salute, he took the initiative to stretch out his hand and said to Wang Haitao with a smile: "Commander Wang is polite, Commander Wang has fought all the way from the Battle of Songhu to the present, and has wiped out countless Japanese troops, and there are several lieutenant generals and division commanders of the Japanese army who died at the hands of Commander Wang, which makes the Japanese army frightened!

Wang Haitao shook Yu Hanmou's outstretched hand, naturally he was modest, Yu Hanmou asked Wang Haitao to sit down, someone brought tea, and after gossiping for a while, the two got to the point. Yu Hanmou said first: "I have received the telegram from the commander-in-chief of Chongqing. Shangfeng ordered my 12th Army to assist Commander Wang's 90th Army in recapturing Shaoguan and severely damaging or annihilating the 11th Division of the Japanese army. ”

Wang Haitao asked: "What did Commander Yu say about this?" Yu Hanmou sighed and replied: "Don't hide it from Commander Wang, Yu lost Guangzhou City lightly, of course, because of the Japanese army's sneak attack, which caught Yu off guard, but also because the Japanese army's attack power was too strong and there were many heavy weapons, and Yu was also afraid that the people of Guangzhou would be killed and injured too much in the artillery fire of Little Japan, so he decided to give up Guangzhou City." Now that little Japan has occupied Shaoguan, this Shaoguan is the gateway to the north of Guangdong, and it is also a Xiongguan, with the elite 11th Division of the Japanese army stationed, and it is not easy to take Shaoguan in one fell swoop, let alone the 11th Division that severely damaged or eliminated the Japanese army. ”

After listening to Yu Hanmou's words, Wang Haitao smiled and said: "Commander Yu, if you want to say that this 11th Division and our 90th Army are really enemies, from the Songhu battlefield at that time, my 90th Division fought with them, and then fought with them again in Nanjing, the 11th Division in the second battle did not win favor in my hands, this time I will give them a profound lesson." As for Shaoguan, I have already asked the troops to conduct targeted training, and I am confident that I will take Shaoguan. ”

After Yu Hanmou pondered for a while, he said: "Since Commander Wang is so confident, I won't say more, Shangfeng's order is to ask my Twelfth Group Army to cooperate with your Ninety Army's actions, how to cooperate, I want to hear Commander Wang's high opinion." Wang Haitao no longer hid from Yu Hanmou, and said to Yu Hanmou: "Commander Yu, my 90th Army participated in the operation this time with a total of three divisions and two independent brigades, I plan to launch a surprise attack on Shaoguan with two divisions plus an independent heavy artillery brigade and an independent armored brigade, and after capturing Shaoguan, attack from the direction of Shaoguan to the direction of Britain and Germany, while the other division will penetrate directly from Wuzhou between Yingde and Guangzhou, and annihilate the 11th Division between Shaoguan and Yingde. ”

Yu Hanmou pondered Wang Haitao's words for a while and asked: "Commander Wang, with all due respect, once the Japanese 11th Division is attacked, the 104th Division of the Japanese Army in Guangzhou will inevitably send troops to support. Wang Haitao understood what Yu Hanmou meant, and Wang Haitao said: "It's just that the 104th Division of the Japanese Army doesn't send troops to support, if you dare to send troops to support, I just want to eat this reinforcement." ”

Yu Hanmou frowned when he heard this, and said: "Since Commander Wang is so sure, then how do you want my Twelfth Army to cooperate?" Wang Haitao replied: "Commander Yu, one of my divisions wants to prevent the retreat of the Japanese 11th Division in England and Germany, and also want reinforcements from the 104th Division of the ambush army, I am afraid that the strength will be insufficient, I think Commander Yu can send a force to assist our army in preventing the retreat of the Japanese 11th Division in England and Germany." In addition, when our army attacked in the direction of Yingde after capturing Shaoguan, we hoped that Commander Yu would send troops to block the path to Guangzhou on this road to prevent the Japanese 11th Division from escaping from the path. ”

These two tasks were not difficult for the Twelfth Army, which still had tens of thousands of troops, so Yu Hanmou agreed. After the matter was discussed, Yu Hanmou left Wang Haitao for another night, and the next day after the two sides made an appointment for the attack, they left each other radio wavelengths so that they could contact each other at any time, and Wang Haitao said goodbye to Yu Hanmou.

As soon as Wang Haitao left, Zhang Da and Yu Hanmou discussed the Guangdong Campaign, Zhang Da said: "Commander, this Wang Haitao has a big tone, listen to what he means, one Eleventh Division is not enough for him to eat, and he wants to eat the reinforcements of the One Hundred and Fourth Division." Commander, what should we do with the Twelfth Army?"

Yu Hanmou replied: "There is no gold and steel diamond, no porcelain work." This Wang Haitao dares to say such big words, he must have his confidence. In any case, our 12th Army also cooperated with his 90th Army, and we have our own merits in winning the battle, and we will not be able to beat our 12th Army if we lose the board. Besides, if we can win this battle this time, we will be able to raise our heads in front of our hometown fathers and elders. ”

Zhang Da also nodded and said: "Yes, the morale of the Guangzhou army is not very stable, if we can win this battle, our morale will be able to rise." How to arrange it, Commander, you will give the order. Yu Hanmou thought for a moment and said: "Let one division of the 63rd Army and the 65th Army block all the trails and mountain roads leading to Guangzhou on the way from Shaoguan to Yingde. Don't let a little Japan go over. Another division of the 65th Army touched the vicinity of Shaoguan, and if it could help the 90th Army, it would help. Your 62nd Army went to Yingde and assisted the 90th Army in blocking the 11th Division of Little Japan here in Yingde and not letting them withdraw to Canton. ”

Zhang Da responded excitedly and went to prepare. Wang Haitao returned to Wuzhou and summoned all the officers above the brigade level of the 90th Army to the headquarters of the 90th Army for a meeting. A day later, the officers from Hezhou also arrived in Wuzhou, and the pre-war meeting was held in Wang Haitao's headquarters. When Wang Haitao saw that everyone had arrived, he went straight to the topic.

Wang Haitao said: "Ladies and gentlemen, the Chongqing General Headquarters has approved the Guangdong operation plan I proposed, and I have also consulted with Commander Yu Hanmou of the 12th Group Army. This operation was carried out by our 90th Army and assisted by the 12th Army. Now I'm going to give the order to fight. Li Yuanhong, commander of the 93rd Division, and Tang Hongming, commander of the 210th Division. ”

Li Yuanhong and Tang Hongming, who were seated, stood up at the same time and replied loudly: "Here!" Wang Haitao glanced at the two of them and said: "This attack on Shaoguan will be completed by your two divisions, and I will let the heavy artillery brigade and armored brigade assist you in the attack." The two replied at the same time: "Yes, military seat!" Wang Haitao pressed his hand to let the two sit down and then shouted: "Heavy Artillery Brigade Commander Wei Zhiyuan." Wei Zhiyuan stood up and replied loudly: "Here!" Wang Haitao ordered: "Your heavy artillery brigade must choose an artillery position and use artillery fire to support the infantry's attack operations." It is necessary to pay attention to the counterattack of air defense and small Japanese artillery fire. Wei Zhiyuan responded: "Yes, military seat!"

Then there were the armored brigades, which were also used to assist the infantry in the attack on Shaoguan. Wang Haitao, the front-line commander of the Battle of Shaoguan, handed over to the deputy army commander Tang Renxin. Wang Haitao told Tang Renxin not to stop once he captured Shaoguan, and then to attack in the direction of Britain and Germany, and to make air defense preparations for the attack during the day, because small Japan had an airfield in Guangzhou, and once the 11th Division was attacked, planes would soon come to support.

After issuing the combat mission in Shaoguan, Wang Haitao glanced at Tang Yikuan, the commander of the 90th Division, who was eager to try, and shouted: "Tang Yikuan, commander of the 90th Division. Tang Yikuan stood up and replied, "Here!" Wang Haitao said: "The task of your 90th Division is to infiltrate between Yingde and Guangzhou, first, to block the Japanese 11th Division from withdrawing to Guangzhou, and second, once the Japanese 104th Division reinforces the 11th Division from Guangzhou, it will divide a part of its forces and eat him. Tang Yikuan replied excitedly: "Yes, military seat!"
