"Commander, good news."

In the 89th Army Headquarters, Xiao Wusheng rushed in excitedly from outside, handed Ye Qingshan a telegram, and said happily:

"Director Ning just sent a secret report that the 23nd Independent Mixed Brigade of the Japanese 22rd Army stationed in northern Guangdong has been transferred."

Ye Qingshan took the telegram and read it, and smiled: "Haha.

Commander Xiao and his men's fierce attack in northern Jiangxi was effective.

The Japanese headquarters finally transferred the Japanese troops from northern Guangdong to the north.

In this case, it is time for us to attack."

After nearly half a month of preparation, the real main force of Ye Qingshan's 89th Army, three main divisions with only people, have quietly passed through the mountains of Fujian Province.

The movement reached the border area between Fujian Province and eastern Guangdong.

However, the mountains in Fujian Province posed a huge obstacle to the logistics transportation of the 89th Army.

But at the same time, the 89th Army marching among the mountains also had the best cover.

So far, the Japanese brigade stationed in eastern Guangdong has not fully realized Ye Qingshan’s strategic intentions.

"Send a telegram to Wu Hongguang and ask them to start the operation tonight.

Within three days, encircle the Japanese Independent Mixed 19th Brigade that is still in eastern Guangdong.

Their first battle in attacking Guangdong is to eat him up for me."

Ye Qingshan's eyes sparkled with brilliance. After more than half a month of preparation, Xiao Shanling's cover operation in northern Jiangxi was very successful.

Now, he can finally show the real strength of his 89th Army.

Ye Qingshan’s first move was to devour the Japanese mixed brigade stationed in eastern Guangdong.

"Notify Commander Gu and have Commander Liu's 10th Army march toward northern Guangdong.

Capture Shaoguan, Meigang Ancient Road, and Danxia Mountain area, and cut off the connection between Guangdong Province and the 11th Army of the Japanese invaders in western Hunan.

I won’t go into details about how to play it.

I believe that Commander Gu and Commander Liu can find their own solutions.

I asked for only one.

Within half a month, the Tenth Army must take these places and turn Guangdong Province into an isolated island, which will make it easier for me to shut the door on the 23rd Army of the Japanese. "

The location of northern Guangdong is too important.

If we don't seize this place, the Japanese in northern Guangdong will be able to meet up with the more than 200,000 elite Japanese troops fighting in western Hunan at any time.

Once Ye Qingshan counterattacked Guangdong Province, the Japanese saw that the situation was not good and chose the lesser of two evils.

He chose to abandon the offensive in western Hunan and let the Japanese's powerful 11th Army move south to save Guangdong Province.

By that time, Ye Qingshan’s 89th Army would certainly not be able to stop the th Army of the Japanese with more than soldiers.

It would be impossible to succeed in counterattacking Guangdong Province by then.

This is also the reason why Ye Qingshan asked Xiao Shanling to command 89 people to pretend to be the main force of the th Army in northern Jiangxi and launch a fierce attack.

The purpose is to transfer the Japanese troops from northern Guangdong.

Only by taking over northern Guangdong can Ye Qingshan continue his subsequent counterattack on Guangdong Province.

Originally, Ye Qingshan was planning to assign the task of seizing northern Guangdong to a main division of the 89th Army while the Japanese were transferred away from northern Guangdong.

But now, with the Tenth Army joining the war.

Commander Gu also tried his best to ask Ye Qingshan to let the 10th Army carry out this task and guarantee that it would be completed.

Ye Qingshan simply agreed.

Compared with the tough task of Yangcheng, Gu Zhutong felt that it would be more appropriate to let the Tenth Army seize the fat piece of meat in northern Guangdong.

After all, northern Guangdong was short of troops at the moment, and the 10th Army's attack could reduce a lot of losses.

Unlike the attack on Yangcheng, as the capital of Guangdong Province, it must be a place that the Japanese 23rd Army must defend to the death.

If you want to take it down, you will have to pay a huge price.

Let’s leave this tough nut to Ye Qingshan’s 89th Army.

Only Ye Qingshan’s 89th Army can take it.

Gu Zhutong is still very self-aware.

Moreover, compared with taking over the wealthy Guangzhou and eastern Guangdong, it would be more meaningful for the National Army to take over northern Guangdong.

Northern Guangdong has a more important strategic location and is known as the 'Gateway to Lingnan'.

From here, we can also go north to provide assistance to Xiangxi at any time and influence the war there.

Therefore, before the war started, Ye Qingshan and Gu Zhutong had already divided the benefits of this war.

The Tenth Army took northern Guangdong, and Ye Qingshan's 89th Army was responsible for taking eastern Guangdong and Yangcheng.

But in this case, the main battle will still have to be fought by Ye Qingshan's 89th Army.

After all, the Japanese 23rd Army had only three main forces at that time, and the 104th Division was the main force stationed in the Yangcheng area.

The other two mixed brigades are stationed in eastern Guangdong and northern Guangdong respectively.

Now, the mixed brigade in northern Guangdong has been transferred, and 70,000 to 80,000 troops of the Tenth Army have been transferred there.

The main thing is that they are not a group of pigs. It would be easy for them to seize northern Guangdong while the Japanese troops are weak.

The counterattack on Guangdong Province was mainly fought by Ye Qingshan's 89th Army.

As for the Tenth Army, Ye Qingshan only needed them to take over northern Guangdong and hold on to it.

Not allowing the more than 200,000 Japanese devils in western Hunan to go south to support Guangdong Province would be the greatest help to Ye Qingshan.

Soon, at the Tenth Army Headquarters, Gu Zhutong and Commander Liu received Ye Qingshan's telegram.

“Haha, Ye Qingshan’s plan really succeeded.

The Japanese really mobilized the Japanese troops in northern Guangdong to the north.

Oh my God, I really can’t imagine how fiercely Xiao Shanling fought in northern Jiangxi.

It will allow the Japanese to withdraw all the troops in northern Guangdong."

Liu Jianxu was also shocked when he saw the telegram sent by Ye Qingshan.

Before this, he was not optimistic about Ye Qingshan's plan to counterattack Guangdong Province.

Because he felt that he, Ye Qingshan, could not do the first step.

It means transferring the Japanese invaders from northern Guangdong.

Unless Xiaoshan Ling really has the hope of taking northern Jiangxi, he can only rely on the Japanese to transfer the 22nd Mixed Brigade in northern Guangdong.

Just kidding.

The Japanese are well aware of the importance of northern Guangdong.

Furthermore, Commander Liu also knew that Ye Qingshan had quietly moved the main force of the 89th Army to the vicinity of eastern Guangdong.

With just a small detachment, no matter how well Xiao Shanling commanded, he could not force an entire division of the Japanese to fail to defend northern Jiangxi.

As a result, the slap in the face came too suddenly.

Liu Jianxu felt embarrassed himself, and at this moment he did not mention what he had said before, that Ye Qingshan would definitely not be able to transfer the Japanese devils from northern Guangdong away.

Gu Zhutong looked at the excited Commander Liu with a smile, too lazy to expose him.

"Commander Liu, let your troops march out.

Taking over northern Guangdong will be a great achievement for your Tenth Army."

Gu Zhutong looked at the excited Commander Liu and said.

"Okay, I'll send the troops off right away.

Damn, Ye Qingshan really has some skills.

From this perspective, his counterattack on Guangdong Province this time has a real chance of success.

Commander Gu, our Tenth Army only provides food for northern Guangdong.

I think we can definitely get our hands on Guangzhou.

Such a good piece of land in Yangcheng was really given to Ye Qingshan?

Will the High Command agree to this by then?"

Gu Zhutong glanced at the other person and knew that Commander Liu was greedy and was coveting the Feng Shui treasure land of Yangcheng.

In fact, Gu Zhutong was also envious.

“Let’s talk about it later.

Let’s take over northern Guangdong first.”
