This was the decisive front where the main operations
of the KWANGTUNG Troops took pl800, As soon as a conflict with
KWANGHSI appeared probable CHEN CHIUNG MING (1) began concentrat-
ing his forces in and around HSIN HUNG (18) where Headquarters
were established. WEI PONG PING (19) was in charge and his 3rd
Division were sent from CANTON on his left by the 4th and 5th
Independent Brigades and on his right in KVANG NING the 7th and
8th Independent Brigades. A large force of gunboats and trans-
porte was collected, and a few aeroplanes were sent from Canton.
When the order to advance was received WEI advanced up
the river with the 3rd Division supported by the 4th Independent
Brigade. A certain amount of opposition was encountered from
the ports, but was quickly overcome, and finally when YUNG YUEN
was captured by HUNG LEUKS (20) and the rear of WUCHOW (5) was
threatened the city was surrendered, CHAN PING KUN (4) fled and
the troops retreated to T'ANG YUEN.
Cantonese Headquarters were set up at WUCHOW (5) and
CHÊN CHTUNG MING (1) himself proceeded there and began organizing
the civil administration.
The 3rd Division and gunboats pursued the retreating
KWANGHOI Forces, and a very fine engagement took place for the
possession of T'ANG YUẦN which was captured after heavy losse
on both sides, The KWANGHSI troops retreated to PING NAM closely
pursued by the victorious Cantonese and PING NAM (21) fell on the
14th July.
The retreat of the KWANGHSI Troops now became more
rapid, and the Cantonese entered SHECHOW (22) on the 17th. They
had expected a resistance here, but none was met, and the
Cantonese proceeded to NANNING which was invested on July 25th.
