"Da da da da da da"

"Whoosh.. boom!"

"Da da da.. Da da da"

"Snapped.. Snapped"

"Pay attention to the left! The enemy is coming!"

"Sir, a large number of enemies suddenly appeared on the right!"

The guns and cannons on the battlefield were firing, and the defenders on the position were moving back and forth. Obviously their numbers were not enough to resist the opponent's attack.

This was an offensive and defensive battle at a position in the northern suburbs of Guangzhou. 12,000 people from the 67th Division of the National Army's Artillery Reorganization were Under the leadership of division commander Major General Tang Muyu, they tenaciously resisted the Kyushu Army attacking from three directions. The reorganized

67th Division is a fully armed force trained in Guangzhou. During the period, it was trained by M Country instructors, and the unit has strong combat effectiveness. Division Commander Tang Muyu He is a student in the third phase of Huangpu and is a classmate with Yang Liqing from the Gong Communist Party. The ones responsible for attacking the national army positions in the northern suburbs of Guangzhou this time are all the 74th Army of the Central Group of the South China Corps of the Kyushu Army. Except for the 349th Division, this army suffered more casualties. , the remaining three divisions were very complete.

Nearly 100,000 Kyushu soldiers were divided into three groups, and under the cover of heavy artillery and tanks, they attacked the positions of the National Army's reorganized 67th Division day and night. By 10 a.m. on August 2, the National Army The reorganized 67th Division has been holding its position for two days and two nights.

"Damn it, why haven’t the Air Force’s bombers arrived yet?"In the headquarters, Tang Muyu cursed. He contacted the Kuomintang Air Force more than two hours ago and asked to send bombers to help, but now there has been no news.

""Sir, all the bombers have been sent to bomb the Zhou Japanese coming from Jiangxi. They won't be able to take care of us for a while." The staff officer came over with a telegram and handed it to Tang Muyu.

"What! Do they know that I have to face enemies ten times more than myself in one division? Let them hear the sound of the cannons here!"Tang Muyu read the telegram and became even more furious.

"this"The staff officer said nothing

"Whooshboom!"Not far outside the headquarters, a 105mm cannon shell exploded, and the dust and gravel flew into the headquarters.

"Phew! Damn it, let the artillery regiment fight back!" Tang Muyu ordered as he pulled the dirt off his body.

"Sir, we have run out of 105 shells," the staff officer reminded.

"What?!"Tang Muyu was surprised

"All 10,000 rounds of artillery shells have been fired?"Immediately, Tang Muyu asked

"It’s all gone," the staff officer said.

"It's over this time." Tang Muyu slumped on the chair

"Sir, if there are no reinforcements, our 67th Division may really be doomed," the staff officer said.

"Every position has been attacked. Where can I find reinforcements?"Tang Muyu also scratched his head.

Tang Muyu did not expect that the Jiuzhou Army would directly launch a group attack of the entire battalion, entire regiment or even the entire division, regardless of the order. Some small positions were directly submerged. The main position where Tang Muyu was located was also destroyed because of these small positions. After breaking through, they were besieged on three sides.

There were still 7,000 combat-ready troops in the reorganized 67th Division, and they were all compressed into the main position and several adjacent small positions.

Tang Muyu asked the Air Force to send bombers to assist in the battle in order to delay the Kyushu Army's attack. momentum

"Sir, why don't we evacuate our position?" the staff officer suggested.

"You made me run away from the battlefield!"Tang Muyu was stunned for a moment and shouted to the staff officer.

"Instead of escaping on the battlefield, our 12,000-strong unit defended for two days and nights, with nearly half of the casualties. We have fulfilled our responsibilities. There are too many Zhou Japanese soldiers. According to the information we have received, there are at least one Zhou Japanese army and one Zhou Japanese army facing our army. The army has more people than our army group, so how can we fight, and"The staff officer said that he did not dare to say anything.

"explain! Tang Muyu scolded

"sir"

"Sir! The 108th Division on the right rear of our unit gave up its position and ran away!"

Just when the staff was about to speak, a disgraced national army officer ran in and shouted

"What! 108 division! More than 10,000 people collapsed just a few hours after they arrived! These cowards!"Tang Muyu became even more angry after hearing this.

The reorganized 108th Division is also an artillery unit. This unit took over from another national army unit that suffered heavy casualties in the early morning and was responsible for supporting the right rear of the reorganized 67th Division, where the Kyushu Army South China was. The attack area of ​​the 342nd Division of the 73rd Army under the Corps.

As the shelling became more intense, the Nationalist Army's reorganized 108th Division abandoned its position and fled just a few hours ago, causing the 342nd Division to outflank it from the right rear. At this time, the Nationalist Army's reorganized 67th Division The 7,000-strong division is being surrounded by hundreds of thousands of people from five divisions of the Kyushu Army. Once the encirclement is completely formed, Tang Muyu's reorganized 67th Division will only have the entire army annihilated or a very small number of survivors to successfully break through. There is no third possibility.

"Sir! We can no longer defend here, the 108th Division escaped and sold us out!"The staff here asks Tang Muyu to quickly lead his troops to evacuate, otherwise all 7,000 people will have to be accounted for here.

"Damn it, I'm going to sue them to the principal!"Tang Muyu picked up a Thompson submachine gun and walked out of the headquarters to organize the troops to break out.

"Everybody follow!"Tang Muyu fired at the Kyushu soldiers on the opposite side with a Thompson submachine gun, while calling for the troops behind to follow them.

"Da da da.. Da da da"

"Don't let them get away! beat!"The Kyushu Army was also trying its best to close the encirclement.

There was chaos on the battlefield.

By one o'clock in the afternoon on August 2, the national army reorganized the 67th Division and successfully broke through. 5,000 of this 12,000-strong army broke out, and the remaining All were killed in the battle.

Tang Muyu, who was injured in the battle, led the remnants of his troops back to the city of Guangzhou. By August 5, all positions in the suburbs of Guangzhou were captured by the Kyushu Army. Their heavy artillery could already bombard targets in the city of Guangzhou..Guangzhou

, Yuexiu Mountain Temporary Official Residence

"Chairman, the Japanese Japs have completely broken through our outer positions, and their artillery can already reach here." He Yingqin came to Jiang's office and handed over the battle report.

"Where are our troops?" Jiang was also a little panicked.

"All the troops are shrinking in the urban area, and the M people are also assisting in the defense," He Yingqin said

"When the Japanese invaders hit Guangzhou, is there really no place for me?" Jiang said helplessly, covering his bald head.

"Mr. Jiang, I hope you will transfer to the M country warship as soon as possible. Our army may not be able to resist for long, and traces of the enemy have also been found at the Yuexiu Mountain airport." This is Major General Hurley, the leader of the M country advisory group, coming in from the outside and saying Jiang was talking.

Van Fleet's 3rd Army of Country M was fighting with the 73rd and 74th Army of the Kyushu Army in the north of the city.

Although the 3rd Army of Country M was well-equipped and the soldiers had quite a lot of combat experience, it faced ground firepower that was even more difficult. The fierce and more numerous Kyushu Army, the M country people are gradually unable to cope with it.

The Pershing tanks of the 1st Cavalry Division of the M Country's 3rd Army and the"Mogai" tanks of the Kyushu Army exchanged fire in a small area, and the two sides exchanged fire. There is a winner or lose.

The anti-tank team of the Kyushu Army detoured to the side under the cover of infantry and destroyed several Pershing tanks of the M Army. The

1st U.S. Cavalry Division relied on strong firepower to temporarily withstand the attack of the Kyushu Army, but suffered heavy casualties.

"Lieutenant Colonel Palmer, we have discovered a lot of enemies at nine o'clock, estimated to be several thousand, and an unknown number of enemy tanks. We are about to be surrounded." This is the message sent to the 1st Cavalry Division's No. Commander Palmer of the 1st Battalion of the 8th Regiment reported military situation

"Farke! What exactly is going on! Why are there enemies everywhere!"Palmer threw away the cigarette in his hand after hearing the report and said angrily.

""All retreated backwards" sank for a while. As the sound of artillery got closer and closer, Palmer ordered to evacuate the position.

As Palmer withdrew from the position, the Kyushu Army swarmed into the gap, and other troops of the 8th Regiment were also attacked. It spread quickly and quickly turned into a rout.

At the headquarters of the 1st US Cavalry Division, Brigadier General William Chase, the commander of the division, learned that the 8th Regiment had collapsed across the board. Faced with the Kyushu soldiers and fierce artillery fire attacking from all directions, Chase could only order each unit to alternately cover the retreat.

By August 10, the main force of the middle cluster of the South China Corps of the Kyushu Army arrived in Guangzhou, and more and more Kyushu soldiers arrived in Guangzhou. Entering the city, they drove the U.S.-Chiang coalition forces to the seaside.

Chiang Kai-shek and the M country advisory group fled Yuexiu Mountain in embarrassment and boarded the M country warship to rush to Australia. Other senior officials of the Republic of China and wealthy businessmen in Guangzhou also fled with their families. The remaining soldiers of the Chiang Kai-shek coalition also rushed to board the ship and evacuate. The arrogant 3rd Army of the M Country, led by its commander, Major General Van Fleet, boarded the ship and fled Guangzhou in dejection. At

3:10 pm on August 12, Kyushu The First Battalion of the 1042nd Regiment of the 347th Division of the 74th Army of the South China Corps attacked Chiang Kai-shek's temporary official residence in Yuexiu Mountain. The blue-sky and white-sun flag was torn off the flagpole, and a large flag with a black background and a golden phoenix pattern was raised on the flagpole.
