411 Heavy Artillery
"This information is quite brief."
Ye Qingshan was dissatisfied and threw the telegram on the table.
Ning Yongchen saw that Ye Qingshan was dissatisfied with the information, and said helplessly: "Mao Sen said.
The time we gave was too urgent, and he could only use his own online intelligence agents.
It was impossible to obtain accurate information about the Japanese defense deployment in Fuzhou.
Unless we can give them more time, they may be able to obtain more detailed information about the enemy's defenses."
"never mind.
The longer the time goes on, the bigger the changes will be.”
Ye Qingshan waved his hand.
He never expected anything and relied entirely on the intelligence from the Military Control Commission.
"By the way, let Mao Sen and the others confirm the specific strength of the Japanese troops stationed in Fuzhou.
They can always do this.”
Ye Qingshan continued to ask.
Two days ago, Ye Qingshan was looking at the intelligence sent by the Military Control Commission, which said that the Japanese Ninth Mixed Brigade had 16,000 to 17,000 people.
Ye Qingshan felt something was not right.
This force far exceeds the organization of a normal mixed brigade of the Japanese.
So, Ye Qingshan asked Ning Yongchen to go back and confirm it again.
Even if it is impossible to know the specific deployment of the Japanese.
But at least, we need to know the specific strength of the Japanese troops.
"Commander in Chief, Mao Sen has already asked someone to confirm it again.
The previous intelligence was accurate.
The Japanese 9th Mixed Brigade stationed in Fuzhou did have five regiments.
As for the troop numbers reported previously, that was their own assessment.
There may be discrepancies with the actual situation.
But definitely no less than 10,000 people.
Because it is said that the Japanese 9th Mixed Brigade was even going to be expanded into a Class C division. "
“That makes sense.
A Class C division of the Japanese has about 16,000 to 17,000 people.
It doesn't matter, whether it is a mixed brigade or a Class C division.
Fuzhou is my destiny."
This time, Ye Qingshan transferred the 208th Division to attack Fuzhou, which should not be much different in strength from the Japanese th Mixed Brigade.
In fact, the Japanese had more than 20,000 puppet troops, which exceeded the number of the three militia groups brought by Zhou Xinghai.
In terms of total military strength, the Japs even had the advantage.
Moreover, the Japs were on the defensive.
However, even though he was at a slight disadvantage in terms of troop strength, Ye Qingshan was still confident that he could defeat Zhou Pingkou's 208th Division.
Defeat the Japanese 9th Mixed Brigade and recapture Fuzhou.
Of course, the confidence comes from the artillery brigade they have just expanded.
Not to mention a mixed brigade of the Japanese, Ye Qingshan would dare to confront even a division of the Japanese head-on.
“You don’t have to worry too much about the deployment of the defense.
Black Bear’s special operations battalion has already set off.
They will find out the details of the Japanese defense deployment on the front line.
When you go back, speed up the construction of our own intelligence network.
I hope to spend the money where it is necessary and see the results as soon as possible.
Understand? "
Ye Qingshan gave Ning Yongchen some final instructions.
Ye Qingshan had high hopes for his junior.
"Yes!
I will never let you down."
Not long after Ning Yongchen left, Xiao Wusheng also rushed in with a telegram.
"Commander, according to Commander Zhou's telegram, the 208th Division set out two days ago.
We have now arrived in Ningde.
They asked whether to launch an immediate attack on Ningde.
Xiao Wusheng reported.
The 208th Division, led by Zhou Pingkou, marched covertly in order to create surprise in the battle.
It took him two days to lead the entire division and three militia groups to the north of Ningde.
"Meng Jifei and his men have arrived in Siam and received our new batch of thirty P40 fighters.
In two days, they should be able to fly back.
By then, we won’t have to be afraid of the Japanese air force taking off from the other side.”
Ye Qingshan was thinking in his heart.
After a moment, he made a decision and looked at Xiao Wusheng: "Tell Zhou Pingkou to attack tonight.
Once this battle begins, we must be unstoppable.
Push us to the outskirts of Fuzhou as quickly as possible.
Notify the air force and have them prepare for combat."
"Yes!"

At the front line, Zhou Pingkou received an order from Ye Qingshan to launch an attack.
He also excitedly summoned his subordinates and issued the order for the attack.
"The commander-in-chief has ordered an attack tonight at dawn.
Based on the reconnaissance intelligence sent back by the special operations battalion.
There is almost a regiment of Japanese soldiers stationed in Ningde, but the specific number is not known yet.
Plus almost two regiments of puppet troops.
Among them, a group of Japanese soldiers were stationed in the city.
Another group of Japanese soldiers were guarding Jingtai Mountain, and it was estimated that there would be Japanese artillery there.
As for the other two regiments of puppet troops, one was near the county government office in the west of the city.
One is in the City God Temple in the north of the city.
Tonight, the general attack will be handed over to the first regiment, which will attack from the north and west of the city at the same time.
After the attack begins, you must enter the city as quickly as possible and occupy the county government office and the City God Temple.
The mission of the Second Regiment was to capture Jingtai Mountain.
That is the highest mountain around. There is no point in taking Ningde City unless we annihilate the Japanese defenders there.
The Third Regiment detoured to the south of the city, set up an ambush south of Xuntang, and cleared out the remaining escaped Japanese troops.
The fourth regiment served as the reserve.
Before the attack, the artillery regiment bombarded the Japanese on Jingtai Mountain for half an hour.
Let the devils have a taste of what it feels like to be bombed."
Zhou Pingkou drew marks on the map and issued tasks to the leaders of several main regiments.
At the end of his speech, a grim smile appeared on his face.
"Don't worry, Master.
Our heavy artillery regiment will definitely treat the little devils well tonight."
The commander of the heavy artillery regiment suppressed his inner excitement and promised.
Tonight is the debut of their heavy artillery regiment, and they must make a splash.
“Unfortunately, there is only one regiment of devils in the city.
There were more than 10,000 of us, but we defeated an entire regiment of the Japanese.
Even if this Japanese brigade had three heads and six arms, they would still be doomed."
Wang Dachuan said with a solemn vow.
"Captain Wang, don't underestimate the enemy."
But he was warned by Zhou Pingkou.
"On the battlefield, the most taboo thing is to underestimate the enemy.
When a lion fights a rabbit, he also uses all his strength.
The deployment of this Japanese regiment inside and outside Ningde City is still very reasonable.
Our attack must be fast, accurate and ruthless.
We must try to wipe out the Japanese in this regiment before the Japanese reinforcements arrive after daybreak."
"Yes!"
March 17th, time passed quickly, it was early morning.
Boom boom boom!
Suddenly, a loud rumbling noise was heard outside Ningde City, deafening.
On Jingtai Mountain not far away, flames were shooting up into the sky.
At the same time, fierce gunfire sounds were heard from the north and west of the city.
"what happened?"
The commander of the Japanese 354th Regiment, Yuto Funamoto, was awakened from his sleep by the rumbling sound of artillery.
Ran out quickly to check the situation.
Even from several miles away, he could clearly see the tragic scene of artillery fire on Jingtai Mountain outside the city.
"The Chinese are calling?"
The Japanese captain still couldn't believe it when he heard the loud noise outside the city.
In fact, the Japanese regiment commander has seen the world.
He could tell just from the sound of artillery fire in the distance.
That could definitely be fired by large-caliber artillery, at least over 130 mm in caliber.
And judging from the sound of the artillery fire, there were quite a few of them.
But when did the National Army become equipped with so many heavy artillery?
This is totally impossible.
"Sir, this is bad.
The north and west of the city were attacked by two unknown Chinese armies and are in danger. We need support."
After a while, a Japanese major rushed in with his men and reported the situation to the Japanese regiment commander.
"Do you know which Chinese army is attacking?"
The Japanese regiment commander asked anxiously.
"Colonel, I don't know.
But it is certain that this Chinese army should have come from the north.
We speculate that it might be the 86th Army under Ye Qingshan’s command.”
The Japanese major replied in a low voice.
"Ye Qingshan's troops,
That’s right.”
After hearing this, the Japanese colonel nodded, agreeing with the Japanese major's guess.
But after a moment, the Japanese colonel became even angrier.
"Baga, damn Americans, they actually sold the heavy artillery to Ye Qingshan."
The reason why the Japanese colonel agreed with the Japanese major's guess.
This is because they knew all the nationalist troops in southern Zhejiang and Fujian Province.
Only Ye Qingshan, who is wealthy and powerful, can afford to buy heavy artillery, and he must have bought it from the Americans.
Ye Qingshan's 86th Army was currently located just north of Ningde.
"Quick, mobilize all the soldiers in the city and rush to the north and west of the city.
We must stop the Chinese attack.
Contact Lieutenant Colonel Sakai on Mt. Jingtai to inquire about their casualties.
Immediately ask the brigade commander for help.
Go quickly. "
The Japanese colonel issued several orders in one breath, ordering his Japanese soldiers to act quickly.
Boom boom boom!
At this moment, the regiment led by Zheng Cuzi was attacking the Japanese on the northern city wall.
However, they were under attack from wave after wave of artillery shells.
Two squadrons of devils and hundreds of puppet troops relied on the city walls and fought desperately.
"Damn it! When did the Nationalist Army's artillery fire become so fierce?"
On the top of the city wall, two puppet soldiers hid behind the wall, trembling.
They didn't dare to show their heads easily, otherwise the several corpses of puppet soldiers lying nearby would be their fate.
"Damn it, it's Ye Qingshan, the living devil, who is here to attack me."
A puppet army company commander said in horror.
"what!"
The two puppet soldiers nearby screamed in fear after hearing this.
Ye Qingshan's rule of being ruthless to the Japanese and never taking prisoners had long been known throughout the country.
Known by countless people.
However, not much is known about Ye Qingshan's attitude towards the puppet army.
Only the traitors serving in the puppet army in southern Zhejiang and Fujian Province paid attention to this.
Because Ye Qingshan probably can’t reach other places for the time being.
However, Ye Qingshan might attack these two places at any time.
Therefore, all the puppet army traitors in southern Zhejiang and Fujian Province knew that Ye Qingshan would kill the puppet army as well.
Of course, it only targets those traitors who have committed heinous crimes and committed murders.
However, even the puppet soldiers who had not committed any murder were captured.
They were also sentenced to several years of hard labor.
These were the conclusions drawn by the puppet army traitors in these two provinces in response to Ye Qingshan's attack on Hangzhou Airport.
In that battle, Ye Qingshan captured many puppet troops from Hangzhou.
Then, they tried them directly in Hangzhou and shot a group of them. Those who were taken back were incorporated into the migrant worker team and forced to do hard labor.
