    Li Guoyao¡¯s analysis was very correct. The reason why the Military Commission issued such a puzzling order was that the Japanese army had taken a new action, and this action directly hit Chongqing¡¯s waist-the Japanese army captured Nanning!

    After the fall of Guangzhou, China¡¯s imports of materials through Hong Kong gradually decreased. In desperation, the Nationalist Government had no choice but to increase the transportation volume of the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway.

    For a time, the amount of supplies transported by rail from Haiphong Port in Vietnam to Kunming and via Zhennanguan to Guangxi increased rapidly, which caused great dissatisfaction with the Japanese army.

    As early as half a year ago, the Japanese navy and army had successively proposed the idea of ??attacking Nanning and cutting off China's foreign trade channels in the region.

    Even more, the navy also believes that after occupying the Nanning area, it can use the airport there to attack Guiyang, Kunming and other places in China's rear area, because its flight range is much closer than Wuhan.

    Originally, this plan had been put on the agenda and was ready for execution at any time, but just as the Japanese army was preparing to take action, the Battle of Nomenkan broke out.

    During this period, all the energy of the Japanese Army General Staff Headquarters was focused on guiding the battle in the Nomenhan area. In addition, Wang Jingwei was also jumping up and down some time ago, which also attracted the attention of the Japanese army's top brass, so the plan to attack Nanning was not implemented.

    Time soon entered September 1939, when the German army invaded Poland and World War II broke out!

    After the German army occupied Warsaw, the Japanese government took this opportunity to order Iwataro Uchiyama, the counselor of the embassy in France, to request the French government to stop transporting combat supplies to China via Vietnam.

    However, the French government had not yet engaged in a full-scale war with Germany at this time, so it was very dissatisfied with Japan's threat to take advantage of the tense international situation and immediately flatly rejected it.

    But at this time, Britain and France had declared war on Germany. In order to strengthen their local defense, these two countries were unable to control their overseas colonies - especially Hong Kong, Myanmar, Malaya, Guangzhou Bay, and Vietnam in Southeast Asia.  take into account.

    Japan, which suffered a tragic defeat on the Nomonhan battlefield, saw this very clearly and therefore actively planned further actions in Southeast Asia.

    On September 13, Major General Tominaga Kyoji, the newly appointed Chief of Operations, put forward the operational concept of capturing Qinzhou Bay and Nanning, and blocking the channels and material imports between my country and French Vietnam based on the above new situations in Europe and Asia.

    ¡°However, Lieutenant General Shigeru Sawada, the new deputy chief of staff, had more concerns about this idea, and only agreed to it after Tominaga explained it again.  Subsequently, a plan was drawn up for the 5th Division, which had just been transferred from Qingdao to the Northeast and was preparing to participate in the Nomenhan operation, and the troops in Guangzhou to participate in this operation.

    On October 16, the Japanese base camp issued an order to the "China Dispatch Forces", the highest military command organization in China, to use the 5th Division, the Taiwan Brigade and the Navy to coordinate with the Navy to capture Qinzhou Bay, Nanning, Zhennanguan, and Longzhou.

    The Japanese 21st Army in Guangzhou made various preparations in accordance with the combat orders of the Chinese Dispatch Force, and coordinated with the Navy's 5th Fleet under Lieutenant General Kondo Hsinchu and the Navy's 3rd Combined Air Force under Rear Admiral Masato Yamagata.  The troops that decided to attack arrived at Sanya Port in the southern part of Hainan Island before November 10.

    Soon, Imamura Jun's 5th Division boarded the ship from Dalian and Lushun respectively. Part of the ship group sailed back to the Seto Inland Sea of ??Japan, and arrived at Ujina Port in Hiroshima to anchor and load supplies.

    Among the 9 regiments of the 5th Division, 6 regiments have soldiers from Hiroshima. In order to keep the division secret, during this period, except for ship operators, others are strictly prohibited from boarding the deck. These local soldiers can only  See the lights of Hiroshima at night from the ship's round window.

    The Taiwan brigade commanded by Shiota Sadashi also began to make relevant preparations after explaining the defense of the Foshan area to Fujii Yoji's 38th Division, which was newly arrived in Guangdong.

    Even in order to fight this battle successfully, the commander of the Japanese 21st Army, Ando Toshiyoshi, led his headquarters to go to sea from Guangdong and rushed to Sanya.

    Although the Japanese army believes that it is very covert, they do not know that the intelligence collection capabilities of the Military Command Bureau are definitely the strongest in Asia. Even if you look around the world, it is difficult to find an intelligence department more powerful than this agency. The Soviet Union's KGB is not good, and the United States'  Neither can the CIA.

    Therefore, Chongqing quickly noticed the movements of the Japanese army and immediately made corresponding preparations.

    At this time, the National Army was fortified along the coast from Nanning to Qinzhou Bay and Fangcheng by the first section of the 16th Group Army of the 4th Theater.

    The group army has two corps, six divisions and local teams, but its forces are quite scattered. One corps is deployed in the Gaoming and Heshan areas in the southwest of Guangzhou, and the other corps is deployed in the Lingshan, Qinzhou and Fangcheng areas of Guangxi. Its organization and deployment  The situation is that the headquarters is stationed in Guixian, Guangxi, the 131st Division is stationed in Rongxian, the 135th Division is stationed in Gaoming, Guangdong, the 188th Division is stationed in Heshan, Guangdong, the 170th Division is stationed in Xingye County in the south of Guixian, Guangxi, and the 175th Division is stationed in GuangxiLingshan, Hepu, and the New 19th Division were stationed at Xiaodong to the north of Qinzhou Bay and Fangcheng to the west.

    ¡°In fact, the only troops stationed near Qinzhou Bay are the 175th Division of the 46th Army, the newly formed 19th Division, and the 1st and 2nd Independent Infantry Regiments, which are too few troops.

    Moreover, at this time, the Japanese troops in central China had occupied most of Jiangxi, and they were not very far from Guangxi. In order to cooperate with the actions of the 21st Army, the China Dispatch Army General Headquarters ordered part of the main force of Okamura Yingji's 11th Army to go south.  Attack the ninth theater in front of them and form a posture of attacking Nanning from the north and the south.

    At this time, the main force of the Ninth War Zone was not in Jiangxi, but in Changsha, Hunan. In order to ensure that the troops of the Ninth War Zone in Jiangxi would not be defeated by the Japanese army, the Military Commission could only order the Third War Zone in Anhui to launch an attack on the Japanese army in front of them. Ever since  At present, Anhui has also become a pot of porridge.

    Shandong is close to Anhui. The fighting here may not affect the fighting in Nanning, but it can definitely affect the third theater.

    Now that Li Guoyao's troops are dragging the Japanese troops on the front line in Zaozhuang, the fight in the third theater is relatively easy. At least the Japanese troops in northern Jiangsu and southern Shandong no longer have the energy to take care of the battle situation in central Anhui.

    In order to buy time for the third theater and the troops in the direction of Nanning, the Nationalist Government can only let Li Guoyao's troops take the lead here. As long as they contain the Japanese and puppet troops in northern Jiangsu and southern Shandong, then this battle will be  You can still have a fight with the little devil.

    ¡°Inadvertently, Li Guoyao¡¯s troops once again became the firefighters of the Central Military Commission!

    Of course, Li Guoyao definitely couldn't understand the twists and turns here, but this did not prevent him from deploying his troops.

    In the early morning of the 25th, Li Guoyao personally sent a report to Zhang Tengjiao on the front line to inquire about the battle situation!

    The answer I got was that the fighting between the two sides was still continuing, and both the offensive and defensive sides were suffering heavy casualties!

    And according to Zhang Tengjiao's report, the tactics of the Japs on the front line have been adjusted. The Japs who had always been violent suddenly became more steady and steady, and it seemed that the commander had been changed.

    Zhang Tengjiao¡¯s judgment was correct. Kanehei Ando was originally the supreme commander of the front line. With the arrival of reinforcements, Army Colonel Shinozuka Kunigoro took over the command of the front line.

    He found that there was something wrong with Ando Kanepei's previous tactics. Although it could cause huge psychological pressure on the Chinese army, constant charge operations also caused the casualties of the troops to surge.

    The current situation was unclear, and it was obviously a bit silly to adopt such a combat method. Shinozuka Kunigoro, who considered himself a tactician, immediately ordered the troops to change their combat method to a steady and steady tactics, and pressed towards Zhang Tengjiao's position.

    As the Japanese army changed its tactics, although the pressure on the defenders was reduced, the casualties suddenly increased a lot.

    After all, the overall quality of the Chinese army is still far behind the Japanese army. Local small-scale battles may be able to suppress the Japanese army's arrogance. Once the two sides engage in large-scale fighting, the shortcomings of the Chinese army will be exposed.

    However, this did not change Zhang Tengjiao's determination to completely annihilate the Japanese army on the opposite side. Since the Japanese army no longer launched a charge, Zhang Tengjiao ordered his soldiers to take the initiative to attack the Japanese army. It would be disrespectful to come and go.

    Zhang Tengjiao was determined to eliminate the Japanese troops in front of him on the spot and avenge the nearly a thousand soldiers who died heroically in battle.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
