Not to mention Boss Dai’s sigh in the office. The 23rd Japanese Army independently merged into the 23rd Brigade. According to the command of the army headquarters to capture Guiping, it crossed the river from Danzhu Town to the south on October 6th. Going west to Yau Ma Town, after fighting with the defenders, it detoured back to the southeast of Guiping County on the night of the 11th and captured Mengxu Town and Guiping County on October 12.

At this time, General Bai, the Deputy Chief of Staff of the Military Commission, who was in charge of coordinating the operations of the Fourth Theater of Guangxi Province and the Ninth Theater of Hunan Province in Guizhou, based on the fact that the Eleventh Army has not attacked yet, after studying with the commander of the Fourth Theater Commander. , First hit the troops of the 23rd Japanese Army Hisaichi Tanaka.

Mobilize the three divisions of the 64th Army and the first column of the Guizhou Appeasement Commission, and the two divisions of the 46th Army to attack Mengxu Town; the 95th Infantry Division of the 37th Army should respond to operations, The Japanese attacked from the north to Pingnan County.

The Lipu Front Army belonged to three armies. The Eleventh Army used to stop Hengshan Yong’s approaching Lipu and Yangshuo. One Guizhou Front Army guarded Guizhou, and the other army occupied the position in the northwest of Guizhou. enemy.

At this moment, the U.S. government called the Shancheng government back on the 18th, agreeing to recall Army Four-Star General Stilwell, and General Weidmaier would take over his job.

On the 19th, the Shancheng government's fourth theater of the counterattack against the 23rd Japanese Army began, this time with the cooperation of the Shancheng government and the US Air Force.

On the 21st, when the bomber group was bombing the Japanese army, the captain of the 129th Independent Infantry Brigade of the 23rd Brigade of the Japanese Independent Mixed Forces, Fumio Nonoki, was seriously injured because of the collapse of the headquarters and died soon afterwards. Up.

But there was also a mistake. Takeuchi Shigeo Nakasa, the captain of the 23rd Brigade, Independent Infantry Brigade, was a cunning guy. In order to make mistakes in the observation of the aerial bombers, he ordered the 64th Army on the opposite side. Fired smoke bombs in the position.

The bomber units thought this was a mark of the enemy's combat boundary. As a result, they bombed the forward positions for about 20 minutes. The 64th Army units on the front line were bombed by their own people and had to withdraw from their positions.

"Ming Xiang, the bureau headquarters is calling. The Fourth Theater Command will use the strength of five divisions to launch a counterattack against the 23rd Independent Mixed Brigade of the 23rd Army of the Japanese Army in Guiping County, and then attract its main force in A blocking war was carried out in Wuxuangui County."

"Whether you can hold Guizhou and Liuzhou, this may be the key, otherwise, coupled with the joint offensive of the Japanese 11th Army, it will be difficult for the troops in the Fourth and Ninth Theaters to withstand them."

"Boss Dai said that the important information on the actions of the Japanese troops in Guangxi Province from our direct station was highly valued by the Military Commission and the Fourth Theater, including the Ninth Theater. The 11th Army of the Japanese Army has remained silent and verified. The reliability of intelligence."

"Not only the commissioner personally ordered the order, and even the headquarters of the two major war zones unanimously asked the Military Command to continue to supervise the Eleventh Army of the Japanese Army in the whole prefecture, to prevent this heavy army group from suddenly attacking Guizhou and hindering this counterattack. If we If you have news in this regard, you must notify the Military Commission in time." Wang Zhen said.

For the defeated Shancheng government army, she occasionally launched a counterattack, and she did not have any excitement. From Henan province to Hunan province to Guangxi province, the performance of the Shancheng government army is that the Tenth Army can be regarded as a model. , The rest ran away when the situation was bad.

"It's not easy. It's rare to see an active counterattack. I hope to hit the Japanese army hard and hinder the enemy's strategic attempt to open up the north-south communication line. Five divisions deal with one brigade, even if it is forced to withdraw!"

"But the problem is, if the brigade is delayed, the situation will become more passive when the main force of the 22nd and 104th divisions is pressed. The days of the 11th Army's offensive are getting more and more. Recently, the forces of the Fourth Theater were used to fight the 23rd Army, which created opportunities for Yokoyama."

"Let me monitor the enemy over a thousand kilometers away. This is simply nonsense. Boss Dai knows that the hand of the direct station has not reached Gui Province. Why do you issue such an order? What about the people at the Military Unification Bureau Tanzhou Station and Guizhou Station? Where are they all dead?" Chen Mingxiang said dissatisfied.

"Don't be angry. Boss Dai's instruction is that if our direct reports get the news, we will naturally report it. If we don't get it, it's not our problem. Who made you a strategic agent!"

"Boss Dai specially tells you the really good news. According to the news from the U.S. Navy, the U.S. Army has begun an offensive against the Philippines. The Allied Commander of the Pacific Theater, MacArthur, has landed on land and delivered a speech." Wang Said excitedly.

"If the U.S. Army can take down the Philippine Green Bin, the next step is to launch an offensive on the Japanese mainland. I have to move around frequently in the past two days. There must be good news. I was in a bad mood by the Shancheng government army. I am urgent now. Need to refresh." Chen Mingxiang was overjoyed.

In fact, this was the news yesterday. On October 20, the U.S. amphibious assault force landed on Wright Island. In the afternoon of the same day, the commander of the U.S. Pacific Theater Commander and Army Four-Star General MacArthur, accompanied by President Philippine Water shore.

The admiral, who was forced to withdraw to Australia because of the Japanese army's capture of the Philippine Lubin, delivered the famous "I'm Back" speech to the world through high-power radio.

The U.S. government attaches great importance to this attack on the Philippines. This is related to the face of the United States. For this reason, the ground forces successively invested by the Army include the U.S. Sixth Army, Eighth Army, and Australian First Army.
