Chapter 428: The Third War Zone is in Danger

428 The Third War Zone is in Danger

On the 208th, it was the sixth day of the th Division's attack on Fuzhou City.

"Commander-in-Chief, the latest victory report from the front line.

At Jiuxian Mountain, the Japanese artillery position was destroyed.

The 208th Division has already entered Fuzhou City from the east, west and south.

Wushan and Jiuxianshan are now under the control of our army.

The remaining Japanese troops retreated to the inner city and are still resisting stubbornly."

In Ye Qingshan's command center, Xiao Shanling rushed in with a telegram sent back from Fuzhou and shouted to him excitedly.

"General, if this happens, the battle in Fuzhou City will basically be won."

"Ok!"

Ye Qingshan nodded slightly after hearing this.

As the two commanding heights in Fuzhou fell, the 208th Division broke into the city from three sides.

The Japanese could only retreat to the inner city to resist, but the situation was hopeless and it was only a matter of time before they were annihilated.

After the battle of Fuzhou City, the situation now can basically be considered a victory.

The remaining time is nothing more than to eliminate the remnants of the Japanese who are resisting stubbornly in the city.

Ye Qingshan was not afraid either, as the remaining Japanese soldiers were fighting street battles in Fuzhou city.

At this time, when it comes to street fighting, Ye Qingshan is the ancestor of the Japanese.

However, after hearing such great news that Fuzhou City had been captured, Ye Qingshan just nodded.

Not too happy.

This made Chief of Staff Xiao Shanling, who came in to report, somewhat confused.

"Commander, has something happened?"

Xiao Shanling also restrained his smile and asked.

Through this period of time together, Xiao Shanling has a good understanding of Ye Qingshan's character.

At this time, Ye Qingshan still looked so worried after receiving the good news that Fuzhou City had fallen.

There must be something else important happening that he doesn't know about.

Moreover, it is definitely something that is disadvantageous to them.

At this time, Ye Qingshan also handed Xiao Shanling a telegram.

"Yesterday, the Japanese 21st and 40th Divisions suddenly moved south from Ningbo and Shaoxing to attack Gu Zhutong's Tenth Army in the Jinhua area on the northern front."

"Are the Japanese really coming to attack our base?"

Xiao Shanling also widened his eyes.

Ye Qingshan had discussed this issue with him before, but he didn't expect it to actually happen.

“Not only that, there was news from the Military Control Commission that

In the past two days, the Japanese mobilized more than just the 21st and 40th divisions.

There were also several divisions of the Japanese troops resting in the Jiujiang area, who were also ready to move and were frequently transferred to the south.

I suspect that this time the Japanese are not only targeting us in southern Zhejiang.

The Japs also want to go south and attack the city of Nanchang."

After hearing this, Xiao Shanling also looked solemn and nodded slightly: "The dozen or so Japanese divisions that were withdrawn from Wuhan have been resting for two months.

The troops, weapons and ammunition that needed to be replenished have almost been replenished.

It is indeed possible to take action now.”

"Commander Gu, have you given us any orders?"

Xiao Shanling looked at Ye Qingshan and asked.

"not yet.

However, Commander Tang's 23rd Army Group seemed to have already moved north from Fujian Province to provide support.

It depends on whether the two major armies under Gu Zhutong can stop the attacks of the two Japanese divisions.

If the battle situation changes later.

We may also need to go to provide support.”

“In our third battle, there are four armies in total, including our 86th Army.

The total number of troops is about 300,000.

And the terrain here is more complicated.

If the Japanese only send two divisions, there is no need to worry.

I am afraid that the Japanese will send more troops to our third war zone. "

"Commander, I have a hunch.

This time, there is a high probability that the Japanese are coming for us.

The strength we demonstrated in the battle of Fuzhou may have frightened the Japanese.

This time, the Japanese may very well want to wipe us out completely.

You were right to prepare for a rainy day.”

Xiao Shanling stared at the sand table in front of him, looking at the action arrows of the two Japanese divisions heading south, and said seriously.

“Therefore, the recruitment and training of the militia must continue.”

Although Zhou Xinghai went to the front line with three militia groups.

However, the recruitment and training of the militia in the rear did not stop.

There were other officers in charge.

"I agree."

Ye Qingshan stared at the sand table and stopped talking.

He had the same premonition as Xiao Shanling.

Because if he were a high-ranking official in the Japanese base, he would definitely get rid of himself.

Before this, the Japanese were held up by the Battle of Wuhan.

Just now, Ye Qingshan had been jumping around on the southeast coast, so he chose to be patient.

And now, the Battle of Wuhan is over.

The Japanese have been able to withdraw a large number of troops from the Wuhan front.

Under such circumstances, Ye Qingshan destroyed an aircraft carrier fleet of the Japanese, attacked Fuzhou city, and won a great victory in the Fuzhou air battle.

Showing extremely terrifying war potential.

In this situation, the top leaders of the Japanese base camp must be fools.

It is impossible for them to continue to sit idly by and let Ye Qingshan's strength continue to grow.

The top brass of the Japanese military also understood this path, which was to strangle the danger in the cradle.

“Urge the Pitt family and ask them to deliver a new batch of supplies within two days.

The next batch of P40 fighter jets should also be delivered.

In addition, our second batch of fifty pilots went to Luzon Island for training.

You can come back too.

Tell the arsenal to work overtime to produce ammunition from now on, and the machines must not stop even if the people stop working."

Ye Qingshan immediately asked his adjutant Xiao Wusheng to convey his orders.

Prepare for the war.

The storm is coming!

In the next two days, Ye Qingshan was waiting for the final news from Fuzhou City.

At the same time, he was also paying attention to the movements of the Japanese army in the north.

On April 1st, Zhou Pingkou sent a message.

The city of Fuzhou was completely recovered by them.

"Unfortunately, we were not able to completely wipe out the three Japanese regiments this time.

The Japanese actually dispatched a naval fleet to pick up the remaining Japanese troops in Fuzhou city from the sea.

In order to reduce casualties, Commander Zhou did not order his troops to pursue. "

Xiao Shanling said with some regret.

“What Lao Zhou did was right.

The power of the Japanese naval guns is no joke.

It was not a wise choice to let our soldiers chase after the more than a thousand Japanese remnants under the bombardment of Japanese naval guns.

Anyway, Fuzhou City was taken, and nearly 10,000 Japanese troops were mostly wiped out.

It doesn’t matter if more than a thousand people escape.

Nothing is perfect.”

Ye Qingshan said with a smile.

"Too!"

Ye Qingshan was very satisfied with this result.

After more than half a month, the battle of Fuzhou finally ended.

Fuzhou City, the capital of Fujian Province, was successfully recovered by them.

"Tell Zhou Pingkou that the war is over.

Let them withdraw their artillery units now.

The main force of their division rested in Fuzhou City, and the militia brought by Zhou Xinghai supplemented the reserve soldiers on the spot.

After resting, they left behind a main force regiment and a militia regiment to defend Fuzhou.

The main force of the division will immediately withdraw northward."

Ye Qingshan gave the order.

"Commander, something bad has happened!"

After a while, Xiao Wusheng suddenly rushed into the command center in a hurry.

"what happened?"

When Ye Qingshan saw Xiao Wusheng's anxious look, he knew something had happened.

"Commander, urgent telegram from the Intelligence Department."

Xiao Wusheng handed over a telegram.

Chief of Staff Xiao Shanling also immediately came over and watched with Ye Qingshan.

"Damn, how is this possible!"

After reading it, Ye Qingshan and Xiao Shanling looked at each other and found it unbelievable.

It turned out that this telegram was sent by Ning Yongchen's intelligence department.

The telegram said that Gu Zhutong was defeated by the Japanese in the north.

Gu Zhutong's 23th Army and 21rd Army were originally confronting the Japanese 40st Division and th Division on the line from Pujiang to Shengzhou.

Originally, Gu Zhutong's Tenth Army had been operating on this front for more than half a year.

The defense line here has long been built to be as solid as a rock.

Therefore, this time, Gu Zhutong had to face more than 50,000 Japanese troops from two divisions heading south.

He did not panic.

The Tenth Army under Gu Zhutong consisted of three armies and two brigades, totaling more than 70,000 people.

The 23rd Army, which was later transferred by Gu Zhutong, had only one army under its name, but it also had more than people.

With an army of nearly 100,000, they relied on the mountain defense line that they had carefully managed for more than half a year.

Even so, Ye Qingshan felt that the Japanese army would definitely not be able to defeat them with just two divisions.

But now, the intelligence agents under Ning Yongchen have sent urgent information.

Tell Ye Qingshan that Gu Zhutong's army of 100,000 was defeated after only a few days on the northern front?

"Get Ning Yongchen for me."

Ye Qingshan hurriedly walked to the phone, picked up the phone and called Ning Yongchen's intelligence office.

"Commander, Director Ning is out and hasn't come back yet."

A national army officer on the opposite side answered.

"Commander, I am Deputy Director Pang Feiyun.

Director Ning is not here, you can ask me if you have any questions."

Then, a slightly indifferent voice came from the other end of the phone.

Ye Qingshan remembered that Pang Feiyun was the deputy promoted by Ning Yongchen, and it was said that he was also Ye Qingshan’s junior.

Ye Qingshan had seen him once before.

"Pang Feiyun, the telegram just sent by your intelligence department.

Is the news true? "

Ye Qingshan wants to confirm it personally.

This incident had a great impact on them.

"Return to the commander, it is true.

It's just the information sent by our spy who was planted next to Commander Gu.

Absolutely no problem. ”

After hearing this, Ye Qingshan knew that it might be true.

"Then have you figured out how Gu Zhutong's Tenth Army was defeated?"

Ye Qingshan asked immediately.

“I’m sorry, Commander.

Not sure yet.

Our hidden player only sent out one sentence.

Nothing else.

However, we are trying to contact the other party, and we will report to you immediately if we have any follow-up information."

"Okay, if there is any new news, tell me immediately.

When Ning Yongchen comes back, ask him to come find me."

Ye Qingshan hung up the phone, glanced at the Chief of Staff Xiao Shanling next to him, and said coldly: "The news should be correct.

But it is still unclear how Gu Zhutong was defeated."

“Such big news cannot be concealed by Commander Gu.

The word should spread soon.

Moreover, since the news is true, I estimate that Commander Gu will ask us for help soon.

After all, at this time, our 86th Army is the closest force to the Jinhua front line.

The other 28th Army and the 19th Army cannot arrive in time for the time being."
