    Li Guoyao looked at the map for a long time, then raised his head and said: "There are still too few intelligence sources at the moment. This battle will be difficult to fight without sufficient intelligence support!"

    "Commander, shall we fight or not?" Chen Jianzhong said solemnly.

    "We must fight. Don't forget the purpose of our journey north this time. Therefore, we must fight this battle, and we must fight it beautifully!"

    Li Guoyao then continued: "But the enemy situation is complicated now. The Japanese troops in Jining and Zoucheng seem to be larger than we expected, and there are complete defenses at these two points. How to fight must be considered in the long term!"

    Xu Ziyu frowned and said: "In this situation, the only way to capture Jining is to attack by force. We have no other choice!"

    Li Guoyao said solemnly: "A forceful attack will definitely not work. Firstly, the casualties in a forceful attack will definitely be high. We have limited troops now and cannot afford such heavy casualties. Secondly, Jining has complete city defenses. Even if the opponent only has more than a thousand troops,  But if we hold on to the city, even if we have five thousand people, it will be difficult to enter the city, and we may not be able to conquer it even if we take risks and attack by force!"

    "The most important thing is that we are now deep in the tiger's den, surrounded by little devils. Once the other party knows about the existence of our unit, they may make dumplings out of us!"

    "If a strong attack doesn't work, then outwit them!" Xu Ziyu said again.

    "How to get the solution out of the blue?" Li Guoyao asked immediately.

    "The old method, makeup penetration, we are already very familiar with this trick in Lunan. It shouldn't be difficult to put the brothers in the military uniforms of the Japs and trick them into opening the city gate!" Xu Ziyu said immediately.

    Li Guoyao shook his head and said: "No, no, even if we put on the uniforms of the Japs, we don't have the password to enter and exit the city. It's easy for others to see through, so we have to find another way!"

    ¡°This doesn¡¯t work, that doesn¡¯t work either, what should I do?¡±

    Li Guoyao thought for a while and said: "Actually, how to fight this battle requires more intelligence support. We ourselves are weak in intelligence gathering capabilities, but we can ask others for help!"

    "Who can I turn to for help?"

    "The Sulu Theater or the Eighth Route Army!" Li Guoyao said.

    "I don't think the Sulu Theater may have this ability. As for the Eighth Route Army, we don't know much about it. We don't know what their intelligence department's capabilities are. What's more, we don't have any friendship with the Eighth Route Army, so they may not be able to help!"

    Li Guoyao shook his head and said: "Who said that we and the Eighth Route Army are not hypocritical? Ziyu, please send a report to the monk immediately, ask about their situation, and ask them to contact the Eighth Route Army by the way, and say that we need the Japanese troops on the front line in Zoucheng, Jining  Deployment situation!¡±

    "Captain, can they contact the Eighth Route Army?" Xu Ziyu looked surprised.

    "Haha, I am suitable for the Eighth Route Army to be with me these days, and I was invited to help out. The Eighth Route Army will definitely give me this face!" Li Guoyao said with a smile.

    "Okay, I'll go right away!"

    After Xu Ziyu left, Li Guoyao said in a deep voice: "Brothers, while we are waiting for news from the monk, we can't be idle. On the one hand, let the brothers have a good rest, and secondly, we must move towards Jining in batches.  Prepare for the next battle!¡±

    "yes!"

    "In addition, brothers, we must also remember that no matter whether we win or lose this battle, we must fight strategically. The reason is also clear to everyone, that is, the Military Commission is fighting the Japanese army on the Nanning-Kunlun Pass line. We  Although this side is far away from the battlefield, it bears the important task of containing the Japanese and puppet troops in northern Jiangsu and southern Shandong. As long as we contain the enemy here, it will be victory!"

    "yes!"

    ?¡­

    While Li Guoyao's troops were fighting with the Japanese 12th Army in central Shandong and southern Shandong, the battlefield in Nanning also entered a white-hot stage!

    According to the plan of the Japanese 21st Army to attack Nanning, its main force, the 5th Division and the Taiwan Brigade, after landing at Qinzhou Bay in Guangdong (now part of Guangxi), divided into three parallel routes to the north along the areas on both sides of the highway from Qinzhou to Nanning.  Attack and capture Nanning.

    Among them, Major General Masao Nakamura¡¯s 21st Brigade is the middle route, pointing directly towards Nanning and occupying it.

    and the 9th Brigade of Major General Chuanyuan 7 as the west route, encircling Jinji Village and Jiangxi Village west of Nanning in a roundabout way, and captured Nanning.

    Yantian decided that the Taiwan brigade of Major General Seven would take the east route, cross the Yongjiang River from Yongning, attack Sitang, and detour to Nanning from the east.  The 3rd Joint Air Force of the Navy and the 21st Independent Air Force of the Army and Air Force took off from the aircraft carrier and Weizhou Island Airport, cooperate in combat.

    However, the Japanese army's plan to attack Nanning had been intercepted by the Chinese before it started. In addition, Japanese intelligence personnel in Taiwan intercepted intelligence reports from the United States and Britain reporting Japanese military actions, including "The Japanese fleet is currently gathering in the Gulf of Tonkin."  "The battle against Nanning seems to be about to begin soon."

    In addition, a British plane suddenly made a forced landing on Weizhou Island. The Japanese army made a lot of speculations about this, and most believed that it was an on-the-spot reconnaissance.

    The enemy¡¯s 21st Army Headquarters in Guangzhou, through special intelligence methods, knew that General Zhang Fakui, commander of the 4th Theater Zone, was fully aware of the Japanese army¡¯s intentions for this operation, so it decided to act in advance.

    In early November, the main force of the 21st Army, a convoy of more than 70 ships, braved strong winds to leave the port in Sanya and sail to Qinzhou Bay.

    Subsequently, the 9th Brigade of the Japanese 5th Division took advantage of the strong wind and rain and when the defenders easily lost their attention, and suddenly landed at Qisha and Longmen on the west coast of Qinzhou Bay.

    After the 56th Regiment of the newly formed 19th Division of the National Army defending the area discovered the enemy's situation, they resisted with all their strength, but the enemy's landing was successful.

    Based on this situation, Xia Wei's 16th Group Army ordered the 170th Division to move from Xingye to Nanning in the west, the 131st Division to move from Rong County to Luchuan and Bobai in the southwest, the 188th Division to move from Heshan, Guangdong to Kairong County in the west, and the 135th Division to move from Guangdong to Heshan.  Gao Ming set up defenses in Guixian County.

    However, at this time, the Japanese army had already built a bridgehead on the landing front. Then the 21st Brigade of the 5th Division was in the Zhuwu, Maoling, and Huangwutun areas in Qinzhou Bay, and the Taiwanese Brigade was in the Lanwei area on the east coast of Qinzhou Bay.  Login.

    After a fierce battle, the 56th Regiment of the newly formed 19th Division withdrew from Fangcheng at 19:00 on the 16th. Then the enemy divided into three groups and advanced in parallel along both sides of the highway from Qinzhou to Nanning.

    During this period, although the 175th garrison division and the newly formed 19th division carried out layer-by-layer resistance in the Xiaodong, Dasi, and Guitai areas, they failed to stop the enemy.

    Then Wei Yunsong, deputy commander-in-chief of the 16th Group Army, went to the Nanning command post to direct operations in the area.

    The Japanese army has a strong front, and the combat troops are veterans who have experienced many battles. They have strong combat effectiveness. Soon these three enemy forces reached the Datang and Baekje areas about 50 kilometers south of Nanning. They immediately adjusted their front lines and launched an attack on Nanning.  preparation.

    After the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government learned of the situation, it immediately ordered Du Yuming's 5th Army, Yao Chun's 36th Army, and Fu Zhongfang's 99th Army to quickly concentrate on Nanning, Liuzhou, and Yishan.

    At the same time, the Japanese army continued to attack northward, and soon after the battle reached the south bank of the Yongjiang River, which was about 250 meters wide.

    Subsequently, the 9th Brigade on the West Road and the 21st Brigade on the Middle Road formed a river-crossing assault team and used civilian boats to forcefully cross the Yongjiang River and prepare to attack Nanning City. However, they were repelled by the dense firepower of the defenders on the north bank.

    After that, the 21st Brigade organized more than 20 forced crossings, but still suffered strong counterattacks from the 135th Division of the North Shore garrison and suffered heavy casualties without results.

    On the morning of the 4th, in addition to concentrating artillery to cover the crossing of the river, the Japanese army also concentrated naval aviation to conduct continuous attacks and bombings on the defenders on the north bank.

    When the garrison positions on the north bank were severely damaged and many casualties occurred, but the follow-up troops had not yet arrived, Lieutenant Kanichiro Nitta, leader of the 4th Squadron of the 21st Regiment of the 21st Brigade of the Japanese Army, took advantage of this opportunity to organize a forced crossing again.  , arrived at the North Shore at about 10 o'clock.

    ¡°Subsequently, this group of Japanese troops captured the buildings near the Nanning High Court, and subsequent Japanese troops crossing the river launched attacks one after another.

    After a fierce battle in the city, the defenders withdrew. The enemy's 5th Division captured Nanning and Nanning fell.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
