Chapter 920 Helpless Commander of the Fourth Theater
"Immediately ask the artillery teams that have not exposed their artillery positions to quickly move to their combat positions!"
"In addition, let our aviation force come over immediately to support the operation. We must blow up the heavy artillery group and all artillery groups of the Chinese Army on the opposite side!"
"We absolutely can't let them continue bombing our place, hurry up!"
However, after the shock, the commander of the 68th Division, Lieutenant General Sakuma, quickly issued new combat instructions.
At the same time, they also hurriedly wanted to mobilize the aviation force to support the operation.
"In addition, let me immediately have the support artillery dispatched by the 116th Division to join the counterattack artillery bombing campaign!"
"The speed must be fast!"
"Especially those imperial warriors who have successfully crossed the river, let them continue to launch a desperate charge, and be sure to attack the China Army's position as soon as possible to engage them in hand-to-hand combat!"
Finally, he immediately used the artillery support that the Japanese 116th Division promised him.
"Hai!"
"Hai!"
"Hai!"
.......
.......
After his combat order was issued,
All the Japanese officers quickly followed the orders and acted.
And he was also leading his troops to avoid the artillery and bombing attacks from Liu Feiyang's troops.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
"Rumble, rumble..."
.......
.......
The artillery under Liu Feiyang's command covered the sound of bombing, and the sound was still heard.
And constantly blowing up the Japanese artillery positions,
.......
.......
But soon, the Japanese's follow-up artillery units, including the artillery units of the Japanese 116th Division, launched artillery counterattacks and bombardments.
As a result, the artillery bombardment from both sides started in full swing.
.......
.......
On the third day of the Battle of Hengyang,
"Little Zhuge" Commander Bai had arrived in Chongqing for a meeting at this time, and even his chief of staff had something to do and had not returned. As for where he went, no one knew.
But the fourth theater of the national army,
Commander-in-Chief Zhang Fakui and Deputy Commander-in-Chief Xia Wei were the first to receive intelligence indicating that the Japanese troops were very likely to launch a second invasion of Nanning and Guilin.
"What do you think of the intelligence content this time?"
"Do you think the Japanese troops will really launch a second attack?"
"What do we do now?"
Commander Zhang, a famous general of the Guangdong army, asked Deputy Commander Xia Wei for his opinion in a irritable mood.
The fourth theater has always been dominated by the Gui Army, and Commander Bai serves as the director of the Guilin camp, so the generals of the Gui Army do not take Commander Zhang seriously.
That is to say, there is no real job,
Even if he now wants to command the Gui army and conduct combat deployment, not many generals of the Gui army will obey the orders of a foreign general like him.
So he felt very irritable,
He didn't want to watch helplessly as he knew in advance that the Japanese army would attack at any time, but he passively waited for the attack to arrive, unable to do anything.
"As for the information you mentioned, my suggestion is to contact Commander Bai who has gone to Chongqing as soon as possible. It will be safer!"
"Because the intelligence is true or false, we haven't completely determined it yet!"
"But in the past few days, the Japanese planes have been out to bomb our Nanning and Guilin areas again, so I think we still need to pay attention to it!"
"This time we don't want to continue to see them sneak attack and land operations like the last time the Japanese army attacked!"
"We finally recovered Nanning and Guilin, but we don't want to be reoccupied by the Japanese troops again!"
"Last time these two important cities were captured by the Japanese army, many soldiers and civilians were killed and wounded, and there were also many innocent civilians, especially women and children, who were tortured to death by these inhumane devils.
, and mutilate the dead!”
"So I agree to pass on the news of the possible Japanese attack to Commander Bai as soon as possible, and follow his combat deployment!"
"Otherwise, it would be impossible for you and I to mobilize the rest of the Gui Army generals and conduct combat deployments!"
"Because they all obey Commander Bai's orders!"
"Unless you can send a group of your Guangdong Army troops here to assist in the battle, I think you and I are about to become bachelor commanders!"
Regarding Commander Zhang's question, Xia Wei, the deputy commander of the Guangxi generals, responded very frankly.
"...."
Commander Zhang.
When the other party pointed out the embarrassing situation he was in so straightforwardly, the corners of his mouth twitched for a moment, and he was speechless.
"Okay! Then I'll leave it to you to report to Commander Bai!"
"After all, you are a senior general who served under him, so what you say will please him more than what I say!"
So in the end, Commander Zhang could only respond with a wry smile.
"Maybe!"
"Then I will listen to what you say. Now go to the communications room and ask someone to report the information that the Japanese army may attack again!"
"But I wonder if the personnel in the communications room on the Chongqing side will let Commander Bai know this somewhat bad news, and should we also report this matter to the Supreme Commander?"
Deputy Commander Xia spread his hands and accepted.
And he also asked another question, asking in return.
"I'll go report to the Supreme Commander personally!"
"Commander Bai will leave it to you to handle the communication!"
"I just hope that troops can be dispatched as soon as possible to strengthen the city defenses on the Nanning and Guilin sides to prepare for the Japanese army that may appear at any time!"
"For us now, Changsha has fallen, and the Battle of Hengyang has broken out for a few days, so the combat strategies of Nanning and Guilin have also changed and become more important than before!"
"So we cannot lose these two important cities, and this is also your hometown, so I hope that all the Gui Army soldiers can abandon regional opinions, as well as certain opinions among officers, and work together.
Let’s find a way together to fight against the Japanese army that will attack us at any time!”
After listening to what Commander Xia said, Commander Zhang spoke a lot of what was in his heart without hesitation.
"Yeah! OK! I will definitely complete the communication with Commander Bai!"
"But whether I can give you the combat power to command all the generals of the Gui Army, I dare not say. Although I am also one of the generals of the Gui Army, the problem is that we all have frictions with each other!"
"So unless Commander Bai comes forward in person, we will basically obey no one!"
Looking at Commander Zhang who looked helpless, Deputy Commander Xia also said frankly.
"...."
Commander Zhang.
Everyone said it so clearly, and he didn't know what to say in response.
Finally, he just sighed softly,
I agreed to Deputy Commander Xia's approach of reporting to his superiors individually.
As for the next battle, he can only rely on God's will.
Without the actual power to dispatch troops and generals, he is completely empty-handed, and it is difficult to achieve anything he wants to do.
So after sighing, he was quite tired both physically and mentally, so he went to the communications room to report to the Chairman.
Deputy Commander Xia also went to the communications room to prepare for the correspondent to send a telegram to Commander Bai.
Chapter completed!
