704 concerns
"Brother, you don't want the three of us to spend the rest of our lives mining, do you?
What about the five sisters-in-law?
We may not last more than a few years in the mines."
The pseudo-corps commander next to him listened to his second brother's words, thinking about the cruel environment in the mine and his five lovely wives at home.
I made up my mind immediately.
"Damn it, let's fight the Japs.
Second brother, I will listen to you."
After a while, the three stood up and said to the soldiers of the New First Division who were guarding them with a smile, "This general.
Please inform me that I, Zhao Dajin, and my two brothers would like to see your commander."
"You traitor dog.
You still want to see our commander, you really miss him."
The guarding soldiers from the New 1st Division were disdainful and refused.
"you……"
Zhao Dajin was very angry when he was rejected by a soldier.
Wang Lan next to him quickly touched him and reminded him not to get angry and not to look at the current situation.
They are prisoners.
“Little brother, he is our leader.
We have important matters to report to your superiors.
If it works, you will definitely be rewarded.”
The guard took another look at the three men and found that they were indeed wearing the uniforms of puppet army officers. After thinking for a moment, he said:
"Just wait patiently, I will go and report."
Half a day later, the puppet army officer was brought to Ye Qingshan.
At this moment, Ye Qingshan happened to be at the front line inspecting and listening to the combat report of the New 1st Division.
Just then I heard the officers below report that three puppet army officers wanted to surrender.
Ye Qingshan became interested and asked someone to bring these three people over.
"This is our leader. If you have anything to say, please speak up."
Zhao Dajin and the other two were brought before Ye Qingshan, and the young martial artist next to them warned them.
The three men did not recognize Ye Qingshan and only thought that Ye Qingshan was the commander of the New 1st Division.
Then, he told them the plan they had discussed.
"You mean you have a way to persuade other puppet troops in Chaozhou to surrender?"
Ye Qingshan became interested.
“Yes, sir.
We are very confident that we can persuade the commanders of several other puppet armies to surrender.
Sir, you may not know this.
Now all the puppet army units in Chaozhou area are in a panic, fearing that General Ye will attack.
Many people think that the Japanese are like rabbits with tails that can’t grow long.
They all have the idea of surrendering.
However, due to the Japanese's strict surveillance of the various puppet troops, there was never any opportunity.
Moreover, several pseudo-corps commanders cannot contact you and don’t know what to do.
Now, I am willing to be a contact person and make amends for my crime."
What Zhao Dajin said was 70% true and 30% false, but it was true that he wanted to redeem himself by making amends for his crime.
"Okay, I can give you a chance.
Just do as you say."
"Thank you, sir. We will definitely do it."
"Sir, is this okay?"
The commander of the New 1st Division next to him was still a little worried, fearing that Zhao Dajin and the other three would run away.
Ye Qingshan didn't care.
Even if these three people fail in the end, they will not suffer any loss.
On the contrary, if the other party could really persuade them to surrender, the other puppet troops would surrender.
That would be a great thing for their attacking forces.
However, these puppet troops are not very strong in combat.
But there were also seven or eight thousand puppet troops in the entire Chaozhou area.
During the war, they fought alongside the Japanese in fortifications, and under the pressure of the Japanese, they had to fight desperately.
In addition, it was a defensive operation, and the 89th Army suffered a lot of casualties in its attempt to annihilate these puppet troops.
If these puppet troops could surrender, or even turn against the Japanese on the battlefield, they could launch a counterattack against the Japanese.
that would be great.
Moreover, there is precedent for this.
At the beginning, when Ye Qingshan attacked Fuzhou, many puppet army officers voluntarily surrendered and made meritorious contributions while serving their sentences.
Even some puppet troops with good reputations were later recruited by Ye Qingshan as an exception and joined the 42nd Army Group.
Whether it is a punishment mechanism for puppet soldiers and traitors, or absorbing some puppet soldiers who have not done evil.
This was all Ye Qingshan’s plan.
Only by having both punishment and reward, and using both kindness and severity, can we more easily disintegrate these puppet troops and make them work for the devils.
Now, Ye Qingshan's plan is gradually bearing fruit in various places.
It's harvest time.
Half a day later, Zhao Dajin brought his two brothers and about twenty puppet soldiers who were ordered to be released by Ye Qingshan.
Pretending to be defeated and fleeing, he fled towards Chaozhou.
"Commander, do you want to suspend the attack and wait for news from these three people?"
The commander of the New 1st Division asked Ye Qingshan.
“No, your division’s attack plan remains the same.
Whether these three people can persuade other puppet troops to surrender is just a matter of time.
Success is the best, if not then you can attack according to the original plan."
"Yes!"
In the following two days, the attack speed of the New 19st Division and the New rd Division did not slow down at all, and they killed all the way towards Chaozhou City, the headquarters of the th Mixed Brigade of the Japanese.
During these two days, Ye Qingshan was also concerned about the battle situation in eastern Guangdong.
Ye Qingshan focused on the changes in the battle situation in northern Guangdong and western Hunan.
On the afternoon of the 8th, Ye Qingshan finally received good news.
The 28th Army finally captured Shaoguan.
However, the Japanese did not give up, and the offensive regiment sent by the 104th Division was still attacking.
To the north, the Japanese 22nd Mixed Brigade was also attacking the 70th Army defending Danxia Mountain. The war in northern Guangdong was not over yet.
But at present, it seems that Liu Jianxu's Tenth Army ultimately relies on its military strength and the advantage of the first move.
We managed to gain a foothold in northern Guangdong.
While the results aren't perfect, they're not terrible either.
At least, most of northern Guangdong has been taken by the Tenth Army, and all they have to do next is to hold on to it.
The Japanese 23rd Army in Guangdong Province was completely separated from the Japanese 11th Army fighting in western Hunan.
Ye Qingshan’s next operations in Guangdong Province can be carried out as planned.
"Xue Boling is in Xiangxi, and he plays pretty well.
Next, the war on their side will continue as long as there are no unexpected situations.
Even if the two sides are in this stalemate, they should continue.
Give me a month, and it will be enough to pacify Guangdong Province.
I hope nothing unexpected will happen during this month."
For some reason, Ye Qingshan always felt uneasy, as if something might happen to the National Army.
On the contrary, Ye Qingshan was not very worried about the Japanese.
Ye Qingshan couldn't explain why he had such a mentality.
Perhaps it was because there were too many unexpected incidents within the national army in the past, which left Ye Qingshan with a psychological trauma.
Especially the headquarters, it has been too quiet these days.
He didn't even send a telegram to criticize Ye Qingshan.
This made Ye Qingshan even more uncomfortable.
"Contact Commander Chen for me."
Finally, Ye Qingshan decided to contact Chen Cheng.
Let Chen Cheng help Ye Qingshan keep an eye on things in case the National Army Command does anything weird again.
Be able to inform him in time.
