The powerful force composed of the Japanese Fifth Division and the Taiwanese Mixed Brigade approached the outskirts of Nanning.
The surrounding Guangxi Army and local armed forces resisted desperately, but to no avail.
After judgment, the Military Commission believed that the Japanese army's raid on southern Guangxi was an attempt to cut off the blood transfusion line in the rear area, cut off the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway, threaten the Yunnan-Burma Railway, further weaken the input channels for foreign supplies, and threaten the rear area in South China.
Nanning was already in danger.
The two armies of the Guangxi army in Guangxi were defeated and were unable to resist.
The Military Commission, aware of the crisis, decided to dispatch heavy troops to return to support southern Guangxi.
In southern Guangxi, there are only two armies of the Guangxi Army.
The rest are local armed groups and militia groups.
It is necessary to draw troops from other places and war zones.
The Air Force, the First Artillery Corps, the Second Army, the 36th Army, the 99th Army of the Central Army, the 66th Army of the Guangdong Army, and the 46th Army of the Guangxi Army were all ordered to reinforce Guinan.
Most of these reinforcements were Central Army troops who were urgently transferred to Guangxi from their original bases in Sichuan, Hubei, Hunan, Guangdong and other provinces.
The Japanese army landed more than 30,000 troops.
Facing such a corps, the Chinese army needed troops several times their strength to deal with the Japanese army and push them back.
Urgent telegrams came one after another from Nanning.
The national army must invest a large amount of troops.
Finally, after comprehensive consideration, the Military Commission played a trump card in its hand.
The Military Commission ordered the entire Fifth Army, which was stagnant in northern Hunan, to reinforce southern Guangxi.
The senior officers of the Fifth Army have long been prepared.
The troops have been staying in Hunan these days, and the military headquarters has been receiving telegrams one after another.
The senior officers were paying attention to the war in southern Guangxi.
When the Military Commission asked the Fifth Army to stop, the senior officers understood the reason and stopped marching, usually because they had other tasks.
This dispatch telegram from the Military Commission had long been expected by them.
The order given by the Military Commission to the Fifth Army was to rush to Guinan as quickly as possible.
Since the Battle of Northern Hunan has come to an end, the transportation capacity and manpower of the Ninth Theater are abundant.
The Fifth Army can take the nearest train to the south of Guangxi, and the whole army can directly drive to Nanning to block the Japanese army.
The Ninth Theater Command was also required to give the Fifth Army the green light to go all the way, and all train transport capacity would be given priority to transport equipment and personnel of the Fifth Army to meet the various needs of the Fifth Army.
Once the Military Commission's order comes, the troops have only the duty to execute the order.
The Fifth Army is still marching towards Hengshan, Hunan.
The march towards Guangxi and the direction towards Hunan are exactly the opposite, so it must be adjusted.
Commander Du ordered the entire Fifth Army's front team to change to the rear team, and the rear team to the front team.
At the end, the 200th Division became the vanguard.
The entire army gathered at the train station near Hengshan, boarded the train, and headed towards Guangnan.
Transportation, heavy artillery, tanks, all light and heavy equipment and personnel were all transported there.
For the military chiefs, this is a matter of words, but for the soldiers at the bottom, it is equivalent to walking back in the opposite direction, and the entire marching column has to turn around, leaving the last two The rear team of the Hundred Division became the front team and became the number one, and the New 22nd Division became the last team.
When the teaching brigade learned that the entire army had changed its marching direction, Zhang Wei was also a little dissatisfied because it was too much trouble.
But the order could only be followed.
Zhang Wei thought about it and dug through various memories.
This time to reinforce Guinan, there would be a real fierce battle waiting for his teaching brigade, and this time to reinforce Xiangbei, The fierce battle that cannot be seen or touched is different.
With this reinforcement to Guinan, Zhang Wei can be 100% sure that this fierce battle will definitely happen.
But changing the marching formation and changing the marching direction is really not a small project.
The entire brigade has to turn around on the same spot.
The mules, horses, and horse-drawn carts all have to change their positions and directions.
The same goes for the surrounding friendly troops.
They must After all the surrounding troops have completed their turn, the entire division can move forward.
It's a real struggle.

Those mules, horses and livestock were like a chicken and a dog when they were tossing, and life was about tossing.
Zhang Wei thought, this war is similar.
After all the hard work, he ran to Hunan, and he had to go back to Guangxi to fight in one sentence.
"Captain, the heavy firepower squadron has completed its U-turn.
It will take a while for the heavy firepower squadron to reorganize the carts."
Qiu Wei ran to Zhang Wei and said, the most difficult thing for the teaching brigade was the heavy firepower squadron's heavy cargo train.
"Okay, tell them to hurry up.
The boss is pressing hard."
Qiu Wei wiped his sweat with a rare complaint on his face.
As a division-affiliated unit, the teaching brigade has a very high speed and accuracy of information dissemination.
Many officers in the combat group did not know the destination after the transfer.
The entire teaching brigade Everyone in the team knew that this trip was going to Guangxi.
"It's too much trouble.
I went to Hunan and there was no battle to fight.
Now I have to go to Guangxi again.
It's so far away.
I think there's a good chance that we'll have nothing to lose."
"No, definitely not this time."
Zhang Wei said with sharp eyes.
Hunan was in vain.
The Fifth Army will definitely not miss this battle in Guinan.
By then, his teaching brigade and training deputies will All military school students will personally participate in this battle.
After the Fifth Army received the order to return to support Guangxi, the three divisions accelerated their pace, completed preparations for departure in more than a day, and got back on the road.
This time traveling to Guangxi is also convenient.
Taking the train is much faster than walking.
There is a train station near Hengshan, so it doesn’t take long to get to the station.
After getting ready to set off, the entire army spent a day marching to the train station near Hengshan.
The war in the Ninth Theater was coming to an end.
The Japanese army attacking Hunan was in a retreating posture as a whole, and the Fifth Army had no chance of fighting.
But the area under the jurisdiction of the Ninth War Zone is full of post-war atmosphere.
The train station of the Fifth Army's shipping unit has just been reopened to traffic.
Many buildings inside and outside the station were destroyed by bombs.
It seemed that it was done by airplanes.
There are still hundreds of wounded soldiers from the Ninth Theater in the station waiting to be transported, all of them officers and soldiers from various units who were injured in the Battle of Northern Hunan.
Shipping the Fifth Army is an urgent task.
The transportation of this batch of wounded soldiers can only be put aside for a while.
The wounded soldiers are surrounded by caregivers and military doctors from each unit to take care of them, so that time can be given to the Fifth Army to load the troops.
In the face of military conditions, the transportation plan for the wounded soldiers could only be pushed back.
The Fifth Army was boarded and transported in order of the 200th Division, the troops directly under the Army, the Honorable 1st Division and the New 22nd Division.
The whole army was directed near Nanning.
The transportation of the Fifth Army took time.
Before the troops could be transported, the Japanese army attacked the outskirts of Nanning.
Although a large number of national army troops were defeated, the national army also knew the status of Nanning and continuously invested various troops and local armed forces to fight the Japanese army. .
The two sides fought fiercely, but unfortunately due to problems with military strength and firepower, the Chinese army only brought lag to the Japanese army and failed to really hinder their progress.
The Central Military Commission's hope lies in the main forces of the Central Army that are being transferred from various places to southern Guangxi, and the Fifth Army is undoubtedly the leader and sharpest weapon among these troops.

A real war is about to begin.
