Cross the Songhu battlefield and rise to become the most powerful warlord

786 Waiting for the Japs' Last Move

The news that the armored battalion and the parachute battalion had defeated the Japanese cavalry regiment reached Ye Qingshan's command headquarters.

It also brought Ye Qingshan a huge surprise.

"Ha ha, alright.

The armored battalion and the parachute battalion actually defeated the cavalry regiment sent by the Japanese Sixth Division.

This really caught me off guard.

I originally thought that the situation over there would be very critical.

I'm still trying to figure out what support I can give them.

Well now, the problem is solved.

The cavalry regiment of the Japanese Sixth Division has been defeated.

Nanxiong is still firmly in our hands, and the retreat route of the Japanese 40th Division has been cut off by us.

Now, we can notify Lu Dahai and Zheng Quezi.

Tell them both to let their two divisions strengthen the attack on the Japanese 40th Division.

We must completely divide and encircle the main force of the Japanese 40th Division before it arrives in Nanxiong.

If they are not allowed to escape to Nanxiong, it will put too much pressure on the armored battalion and the paratrooper battalion.

Their two battalions have already paid a heavy price for this battle."

Ye Qingshan walked out of the command center, looked at the scenery outside, and felt very cheerful. He said to Xiao Wusheng and others behind him.

“Yes, Commander.

I will ask him to send a telegram to Commanders Lu and Zheng.

That’s right, Commander.

General Xue just called and said that they had already exchanged fire with the Japanese Third Division in the border area between Hunan and Jiangxi.

This time, General Xue mobilized the forces of three armies and took the initiative to attack the Japanese Third Division.

General Xue said that we can fight without any worries in northern Guangdong.

The Japanese Third Division will definitely not be able to get away."

“Haha, that’s right.

Xue Yue is quite courageous. I like commanders who dare to take the initiative to attack the devils."

The current war situation in northern Guangdong is developing in a better direction than Ye Qingshan expected.

If the situation continues to develop in this way, the Japanese 40th Division will be doomed.

Now, Ye Qingshan wanted to see how the old Japanese Anan Weiji would break the impasse.

"How far has the war in Yangcheng progressed?"

Ye Qingshan has recently focused all his energy on how to defeat the Japanese 40th Division in northern Guangdong.

He didn't pay much attention to the war in Yangcheng.

After all, the war in Yangcheng, from the current perspective, is basically a foregone conclusion.

After all, the only Japanese army that could come south from northern Guangdong to provide support, the 11th Army, is now in a difficult situation.

The old Japanese soldier Anami Korechika has voluntarily given up supporting the Japanese 23rd Army in Yangcheng.

No matter how you look at it, the Japanese in Guangzhou are also doomed.

All that was left was to let the two divisions that Ye Qingshan left in Yangcheng slowly wipe out the last remnants of the Japanese troops who were resisting stubbornly in the city.

"Commander, Deputy Commander Wu said.

The war in Yangcheng is going smoothly.

At present, they have captured nearly half of the urban area of ​​​​Yangcheng.

They were still fighting street battles in the city with the remnants of the Japanese 23rd Army.

It’s a little bit strange.”

"Why is it weird?"

Ye Qingshan asked.

"According to Deputy Commander Wu's report, the remaining Japanese troops were surrounded by them in Yangcheng.

They continued to encroach and attack, resulting in heavy casualties every day.

But the strange thing is that these devils never took the initiative to break out.

Deputy Commander Wu can understand that they don’t surrender.

After all, surrender means death.

However, the Japanese in the city still had a chance to break out.

After all, the strength of the New Second Division and the New Third Division was not enough to surround the remaining 20,000 Japanese soldiers in Yangcheng without leaving any blind spots.

If the Japanese commander in the city wants to break out, he has a chance.

But the other side still chose to fight to the death.

In addition, Deputy Commander Wu also said that the Japanese devils' fighting spirit was very high.

They often launch suicide attacks on our street fighting troops.

This forced Deputy Commander Wu and his men to slow down the pace of their attack and follow the commander's previous orders.

Slowly eroding the Japs in the city.

But if this continues, I think the war in northern Guangdong will be over.

The battle in Yangcheng will never end."

Xiao Wusheng said quickly.

"The devils in Yangcheng won't break out? That's right."

After listening to the young martial artist and Deputy Commander Wu's doubts, Ye Qingshan laughed.

Ye Qingshan was not confused by this.

"Ah, Commander, what do you mean?"

The young martial artist didn't understand either.

"It's very simple, the devils are not ready to admit defeat.

Even the old Japanese commander of the 23rd Army, Tanaka Hisaichi, who was trapped in Yangcheng, has never given up.

They are still thinking about making a comeback.

It is this belief that supports the old devil Tanaka and the tragic 23rd Army under his command.

That's why they chose not to break out.

Instead, they have been holding on in Yangcheng."

“This… how is it possible.

The area around Yangcheng is surrounded by our army, how can the Japanese turn over..."

After hearing what Ye Qingshan said, the young martial artist found it ridiculous.

Under the current war situation, it is simply a pipe dream for the Japanese in Yangcheng to turn the tables.

But Xiao Wusheng stopped speaking abruptly in the middle of his words.

He suddenly remembered that some time ago Ye Qingshan had several secret communications with the American Pacific Fleet overseas.

Although the content of the telegram was encrypted, he could not see the content.

But this makes the young martial artist think of many things.

For example, they had been worried that the Japanese might receive support from the sea.

"Commander, what do you mean?

The Japanese high-level officials have not given up yet and are providing support to Yangcheng from the sea?

Is that old devil Tanaka Kyuichi waiting for this?"

"Otherwise, what else can there be?"

It was not surprising that Ye Qingshan could react to this point.

Following him, the information that Xiao Wusheng learned was incomparable to that of outsiders.

At this time, Ye Qingshan did not hide it from him and continued: "In the telegram Frank sent me before.

Just say that their Pacific Fleet is confronting several Japanese aircraft carrier fleets in the Western Pacific.

One of them had not been seen for more than half a month and was discovered by them.

This is very wrong.

Moreover, the Japanese navy began to slowly retreat in the Western Pacific.

It is obvious that they are unwilling to engage in a major battle with the American Pacific Fleet at this time.

All these signs prove one thing.

That means the Japanese high-ranking officials actually transferred back their aircraft carrier fleet from the Western Pacific.

At this time, where else can an aircraft carrier fleet go if it is transferred back?

He must be here to support Guangzhou.

Perhaps, at this time, the Japanese high-ranking officials are formulating a plan to cut off the source of Ye Qingshan's support.

Therefore, we are not sure to win this battle.

Never underestimate the Japanese at any time.

These devils have always been short-sighted in strategy, but they are still quite capable when it comes to tactics.

I don’t want something like the Incheon landing to happen to me.”

Ye Qingshan laughed.

"Commander, what landing?"

"fine."

Ye Qingshan waved his hands and had no intention of explaining anything to Xiao Wusheng. He had already said things that he shouldn't have said.

"Then Commander, how should we deal with the Japanese if they really come to support us from the sea?

We can't possibly transfer Captain Wang Chuying and his men back from the Pacific.

It’s too late.”

“It’s too late.

Moreover, I have no intention of using the power of Wang Chuying's fleet this time."

"Then how do we stop the Japanese naval fleet?

What if the Japanese aircraft carrier fleet really lands on the coast of Guangdong Province?

That would be a fatal blow to the New Second Division and the New Third Division that are surrounding Yangcheng."

Xiao Wusheng was surprised and couldn't figure out how they could stop the Japanese aircraft carrier fleet if they didn't transfer Wang Chuying's fleet back.

As for the army, Ye Qingshan has placed all his assets in northern Guangdong.

There are no main forces in other places. Xiao Wusheng can guarantee this and he knows it very well.

Could it be that at that time we will have to count on the Gui Army and other warlords to help resist the landing Japanese army?

That's even more unrealistic.

The young Wusheng couldn't understand it for a moment.

But Ye Qingshan had no intention of continuing to answer his questions. He just looked at the sky in the distance, smiling and remaining silent.

But in his heart, Ye Qingshan was muttering to himself: "Little devils, do you really think so?

If you really want to go to the sea, do you want to stab me in the back?

If you want to come, come quickly.

I have prepared a big surprise for you."

Ye Qingshan also has other armed forces at his disposal, but the young martial artist doesn't know this.

The young Wusheng thought that since he was following Ye Qingshan, he knew all the cards Ye Qingshan had in his hand.

But in fact, Ye Qingshan has a top-secret trump card, which no one knows except Ye Qingshan himself.

This is also the reason why Ye Qingshan asked Deputy Commander Wu and his men to slow down the attack in Yangcheng.

On the one hand, it is to reduce casualties among soldiers in street fighting.

On the other hand, Ye Qingshan was also waiting for the Japanese to make a move.

Up to now, we have been waiting for almost a week. According to Ye Qingshan’s calculations, if the Japanese really transfer back an aircraft carrier fleet.

It’s almost time.
