748 The Japs Enter the City First
"What's wrong?
If Shaoguan is lost, northern Guangdong will certainly be lost.
If the southward passage from northern Guangdong was opened by the Japanese.
The Japanese troops led by Anami Korechika could then march into Guangdong Province unimpeded.
Ye Qingshan lost. "
Li Zongren's face changed drastically after hearing the report from his officers.
At this moment, the gains and losses in northern Guangdong are related to the victory or defeat between Ye Qingshan and the Japanese in this battle.
Little Zhuge also had a heavy expression on his face. He did not expect the situation on the front line to collapse so quickly.
If northern Guangdong was really lost, he felt powerless to save the situation.
“Alas, a good situation has turned into what it is now.
He Jingzhi, this move of cutting off the firewood from under the cauldron is really cruel. "
Little Zhuge looked up at the colonel of the Gui army and said, "Notify our spies to continue to pay attention to the situation in northern Guangdong.
If there is new information, please report it in time.
If northern Guangdong was really occupied by the Japanese.
Then notify the 131st Division to stop heading to Shaoguan."
Just when Li and Bai were worried about the situation in northern Guangdong.
Ye Qingshan in Echeng also received the telegram they sent ten minutes ago.
"Haha, Commander Long and Commanders Li and Bai, please give me, Ye Qingshan, some face."
Ye Qingshan looked at Long, Li and Bai and the re-sent telegram.
Finally he smiled.
In the telegram sent by the three people again, they all agreed to allow Ye Qingshan's 86th Army to pass through their territory.
"Tell Zhou Pingkou to rush here day and night.
The vanguard must be fast.
I want to see the vanguard arrive in Shaoguan in three weeks at most.
Even their main force will arrive within a month and a half."
"Yes!"
Xiao Wusheng went to send a telegram to Zhou Pingkou.
Ye Qingshan stared at the location of northern Guangdong on the map and muttered quietly, "We have almost finished preparing everything that needs to be prepared.
Now I face the biggest problem.
It is to hold the last line of defense in northern Guangdong.
New First Division, please don't let me down!"
Through Chen Cheng, Ye Qingshan has confirmed the plan of the Japanese 11th Army in Xiangxi to move south.
But even if more than 200,000 Japanese soldiers wanted to leave the Xiangxi battlefield and move south into Guangdong Province.
Things are not that simple.
The Japanese also needed to meet many conditions before they dared to move south.
One of the first conditions is that the two vanguard troops of the Japanese mixed brigades heading south will take over northern Guangdong.
Open up the channel to the south.
Otherwise, if the Japanese 11th Army had rashly moved south, it would have been blocked in northern Guangdong.
By then, it is possible that Ye Qingshan and Xue Boling's armies might attack from both the north and the south.
By then, the Japanese's 200,000 elite troops would be in danger.
Therefore, Ye Qingshan believed that the Japanese high-ranking commanders would not make such a big mistake.
The Japanese have always been short-sighted in strategy.
But they are still very good in tactical command.
In other words, as long as northern Guangdong is not lost.
Even if the Japanese 11th Army in Xiangxi wanted to move south, it would not be able to do so in a short period of time.
This gave Ye Qingshan enough time to transfer his 86th Army back from Myanmar.
As long as his own main force, the 86th Army, can be successfully transferred back.
By then, even if the Japanese 11th Army really moved south.
Ye Qingshan was not afraid either.
You really dare to compete with these 200,000 Japanese devils.
Therefore, at this moment Ye Qingshan only hoped that good news would come from the Shaoguan front.
This was also one of the reasons why he decided to take Xiao Wusheng and the others to Shaoguan.
But because Chen Cheng wanted to communicate with him personally, it was temporarily delayed.
Now, Ye Qingshan ended his communication with Chen Cheng, as well as Long, Li and Bai.
The problem of the 86th Army passing through Yunnan and Guangxi provinces was solved.
Ye Qingshan was just waiting for Xiao Wusheng to come back, and then he was ready to continue his journey to Shaoguan.
"commander!"
A few minutes later, the young Wusheng came running back in a panic.
Even so, the young warrior had tried his best to remain calm.
But Ye Qingshan still saw the clue.
"What's going on? Is there any news from Shaoguan?
Bad news?
Ye Qingshan looked at him and asked.
"Ah."
Xiao Wusheng nodded, handed the telegram in his hand to Ye Qingshan, and quickly said: "The telegram just sent by the New First Division.
They have arrived in Shaoguan.
But it was still a step too late.
Most of the 28th Army stationed in Shaoguan has already evacuated.
The Japs entered the city first."
Ye Qingshan looked at the telegram with a cold expression and eyes full of anger.
Is it too late after all?
I'm not willing to accept this!
Ye Qingshan was not the only one who was unwilling.
The same is true for the New 1st Division.
So, in the telegram, Xia Yang, the commander of the New 1st Division, told Ye Qingshan.
Although the Japanese entered Shaoguan City first, they still would not retreat.
They wanted to take Shaoguan back from the Japanese.
But it is not easy to achieve this.
It took the New 1st Division two days and more than 100 kilometers to reach Shaoguan, abandoning almost all of its heavy equipment.
Under such circumstances, we wanted to take back Shaoguan from the Japanese.
It’s as difficult as climbing to heaven.
The next second, Ye Qingshan tore up the telegram, picked up his gun and put it on his waist, and shouted to the young warrior: "Gather the team and follow me to Shaoguan."
When the young martial artist heard this, he became anxious and immediately stopped Ye Qingshan.
“Commander, you can’t go there at this time.
It’s too dangerous.”
"Go away."
Ye Qingshan kicked the young martial artist away and shouted, "Northern Guangdong must not be lost.
Even if the Japanese enter Shaoguan City first, I will drive them out.
If you are afraid of death, you don’t have to go.”
Ye Qingshan strode out of the command center and shouted, "Everyone assemble."
Ye Qingshan's guards quickly gathered.
Ye Qingshan got on the military vehicle, and at the last moment, the young Wusheng also rushed up.
"Commander, I'm not afraid of death."
The young martial artist muttered in a low voice with a resentful look on his face.
Ye Qingshan glanced at him and said nothing.
…………
Just when Ye Qingshan set out and headed for Shaoguan in person.
At this moment in Shaoguan City, hundreds of soldiers from the vanguard battalion of the New 1st Division and a large group of Japanese troops were engaged in a fierce close combat near the south end of the city.
The time goes back to half an hour ago, when the vanguard of the New 1st Division, a main force battalion, had just arrived outside the south city of Shaoguan.
"Hurry, everyone, speed up."
The battalion commander of the main battalion was outside the city when he heard the sound of fierce gunfire coming from inside the city.
He suddenly felt that something was wrong and immediately shouted to the soldiers behind him.
Their main battalion had the fastest attack speed and was the first unit of the New 1st Division to arrive in Shaoguan.
Their mission was to take over Shaoguan from the rear guard troops of the National Army's 28th Army.
But now it seems that they are still a step too late.
Without time to think, the battalion commander still led the soldiers behind him and rushed towards the south gate of Shaoguan.
As soon as I arrived at the city gate, I saw a major officer of the National Army leading a group of National Army soldiers retreating from the city.
The two groups collided.
This group of Nationalist troops that retreated from the city was the last remaining unit of the 28th Army.
