Chapter 387: Japanese reinforcements arrive

387 Japanese reinforcements arrived

"Haha, this net finally gave our second group a big catch."

The third battalion commander looked ahead and saw a captured Japanese lieutenant general commander and a major general chief of staff.

Plus two other Japanese colonels, they couldn't stop laughing.

"Send someone back to tell the commander and the regiment commander the good news."

"Yes!"

"Take them back to see the commander."

The third battalion commander couldn't wait any longer and took these captured Japanese generals back to claim credit.

"go!"

Several National Army soldiers stepped forward and pushed the Japanese colonels and generals.

"idiot!"

A Japanese colonel was very angry and roared.

"Hey, you devil, if you don't accept my toast, then I'll punish you!

Beat him! "

Two National Army soldiers used the hard butts of their rifles to hit the resisting Japanese colonel hard.

Soon his head was bleeding and he became obedient immediately.

"That's right. Once you become a prisoner, you must be prepared to be a prisoner."

The third battalion commander looked at the five honest Japanese generals and was satisfied.

Soon, the soldiers who went back to report the good news found Ye Qingshan.

Wang Dachuan is not here, and this guy can't sit still.

Seeing that Ye Qingshan was in command, he simply took his guard company to participate in the battle in the city.

"Commander-in-chief, we have captured the Japanese city defense commander.

A Japanese lieutenant general, a major general, and two colonels.

We captured them all.

Our battalion commander is bringing them here."

A soldier who ran back from the third battalion reported to Ye Qingshan happily.

"Oh? The Japanese city defense commander was really blocked by you.

good. "

Ye Qingshan was also very happy with such an unexpected surprise.

Boom!

At this time, a violent explosion was heard from the west of the city, and thick smoke rose in the distance.

Ye Qingshan couldn't help but look over.

"What's over there?"

Ye Qingshan asked Wan Lin beside him.

"Return to the commander, that seems to be the enemy's ammunition depot and logistics department."

Wan Lin replied.

"Oh, that's right."

After hearing this, Ye Qingshan understood what caused the huge explosion over there.

It must have been his soldiers who destroyed the enemy's ammunition depot, causing the explosion.

Not long after, the captured Japanese city defense commander Shiho Itarou was brought to Ye Qingshan.

"Ye Qingshan!"

When the other party saw Ye Qingshan, there was uncontrollable anger in his eyes.

"Hey, three more heads to be mortgaged."

Ye Qingshan sneered.

It is a well-known fact in the 86th Army that Ye Qingshan likes to capture Japanese generals.

Not really, Ye Qingshan likes to keep these old devils alive.

The main thing is that keeping these Japanese generals in hand can increase Ye Qingshan's bargaining chips to check and balance the Japanese.

Just like before, the Japanese drove the people to wade through the minefield on Niutou Mountain.

Then, Ye Qingshan could chop off the heads of several captured Japanese generals and send them to them.

To scare the Japanese.

Otherwise, with the cruelty of these devils at this moment, who knows what kind of things worse than beasts they could do.

Now, Ye Qingshan has two more Japanese generals' heads in his reserve.

Well worth the trip!

"Ye Qingshan, you can't leave.

This will be the place where you will be buried.”

The Japanese commander stared at Ye Qingshan and said with gritted teeth.

This Japanese lieutenant general commander was really unexpected.

Ye Qingshan was courageous. After attacking Lin'an Airport at night, he did not escape quickly.

They also counterattacked Hangzhou, dealing a fatal blow to the city whose defense was weak at the time.

Because Ye Qingshan's attack was too sudden, and he quickly conquered Fengshan Gate and broke in.

The Japanese commander didn't even have a chance to escape.

But in the eyes of the Japanese commander, Ye Qingshan's behavior was also self-destructive.

As long as their reinforcements arrive as soon as possible, Ye Qingshan will not be able to escape.

"Okay, can I go away?

You will see it with your own eyes, and I won’t kill you for now anyway.”

Ye Qingshan didn't take the Japanese commander's shouting seriously.

He had an idea about the retreat.

There's still time.

The Japs don’t have wings so they can’t fly over here.

However, this is the biggest threat to Ye Qingshan now.

It's no longer the Japanese 40th Division.

It would take at least a day and a night for the Japanese 40th Division to get back from Jinhua.

On the contrary, the Japanese soldiers who came by train from Suzhou and Shanghai were moving faster.

It only takes them two or three hours to reach Hangzhou.

So, at six o'clock, Black Bear's special operations battalion captured the Wulin Gate in the north.

Ye Qingshan sent someone to notify the special operations battalion.

Let them leave the city, blow up the Japanese railway line, and set up blocking positions in the north of the city.

Buy Ye Qingshan and his team half a day to stay in the city.

Now that they have entered the city, how can Ye Qingshan just leave without doing something?

"Tell Captain Cao to take the existing artillery pieces as well as the artillery pieces captured from the Japanese in the city.

All transported to the north of the city.

Assist Black Bear's special operations battalion to block the Japanese reinforcements coming from Shanghai and Suzhou.

If nothing goes wrong, the Japanese reinforcements should arrive in about an hour."

Information sent by the Military Control Commission half an hour ago.

It said that a group of Japanese soldiers from Shanghai boarded a train and set off at around five o'clock.

That was exactly the time when Ye Qingshan began to attack Hangzhou.

Ye Qingshan calculated the time based on the speed of the steam locomotive at that time.

In about two hours, the Japanese will be able to reach the north station of Hangzhou.

Originally, Ye Qingshan did not attack Hangzhou.

It's just a surprise attack on Lin'an Airport, the Japanese in Shanghai will not take action.

At this time, there were actually not many Japanese garrisons near Suzhou and Shanghai.

Shanghai cannot be in chaos.

As a result, Ye Qingshan attacked Hangzhou, and the Japanese in Shanghai had to take action.

Originally, the Japanese high-ranking officials had not expected that there would be a national army that could bypass the outer defense line of the Japanese 40th Division.

Infiltrate their rear and attack Hangzhou.

It caused such a big fuss.

At this time, the news that Ye Qingshan had entered Hangzhou City was not only known to the National Army Command.

Even the Japanese headquarters in the country knew about it.

This made the top brass at the Japanese headquarters in China extremely angry.

In the eyes of the Japanese high-ranking officials, Hangzhou is now considered the heart of their occupied area.

Belonging to the rear of their front-line troops.

As a result, such an important city in the rear was easily captured by the National Army.

No wonder the Japanese high-level officials couldn’t accept it.

It's really shameful and makes them lose face.

This is also one of the reasons why Shanghai squeezed out some Japanese soldiers to support Hangzhou.

The battle in Hangzhou is still going on.

But the scale is not very large.

The Japanese in the city fought on their own and some of them were defeated.

The remaining Japanese soldiers all hid in some foreign-style buildings in the city and put up a final desperate resistance.

The soldiers of the Second Regiment had no time to wipe them out.

Ye Qingshan only assigned a battalion to keep an eye on these remaining Japanese soldiers and prevent them from causing trouble.

The remaining two battalions looted the Japanese granaries and bank vaults in Hangzhou.

"General, the granary has been taken over by us."

Wang Dachuan ran back and reported.

“We can’t take the food with us, and it would be a shame to burn it.

Send someone to notify the people in the city and let them get it themselves.

Take as much as you can.

Before leaving, if there is any food left, burn it.

Anyway, we can’t leave it to the devils.”

Ye Qingshan instructed.

"clear."

"Commander, we are back."

At this time, Xiao Wusheng also brought people back.

He was holding several large boxes in his hands, and Ye Qingshan immediately became interested.

"The operation seems to be going smoothly. What are the results?"

Ye Qingshan asked with a smile.

"General, look."

As the young martial artist spoke, he opened the three boxes he had brought back.

Two of the boxes contained US dollars, and the other box contained gold.

"Well, the harvest is not bad."

It turned out that Ye Qingshan sent Xiao Wusheng to lead people to raid the Japanese bank vault in Hangzhou.

These US dollars and gold were all obtained from the Japanese bank vaults.

Of course these must be taken away and must not be left to the Japanese.

“Unfortunately, we can’t stay in the city for too long.

Otherwise, you can still make a lot of money.

There are many Japanese merchants and expatriates in Hangzhou."

Ye Qingshan shook his head with some regret.

After all, the time left for him to stay in the city was too short, and he had too few troops.

There are only a few things that can be done.

Ye Qingshan could only try to pick up the most important ones.

"Commander, good news.

Commander Zhou’s telegram.

Commander Zhou said that after dawn, the Japanese reinforcements that had been entangled with them suddenly withdrew.

Now, Commander Zhou and his troops have retreated westward.

Chief of Staff Xiao also led the engineering corps to build a pontoon bridge.

We are just waiting for Commander Zhou and his men to cross the river and join us."

Finally, Ye Qingshan finally got the news he wanted most.

He couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Haha, we finally got the Japanese reinforcements back.

As long as Lao Zhou and the others are safe."

This is the real purpose of Ye Qingshan’s attack on Hangzhou.

Other things included raiding the enemy's treasury, bomb and medicine storehouse, and capturing the enemy commander.

It's just something that happens by chance.

"Commander, the Chief of Staff has an urgent message.

The Chief of Staff asked us to withdraw from Hangzhou as soon as possible."

Soon, Xiao Shanling's telegram also arrived.

At this time, Xiao Shanling didn't know that Ye Qingshan had already attacked Hangzhou City.

I thought Ye Qingshan was just outside Hangzhou, trying to scare the Japanese.

“Got it, tell the Chief of Staff.

Don't worry about me, just let them follow the original plan."

Ye Qingshan didn't tell Xiao Shanling the truth to avoid him worrying.

Boom boom boom!

At this time, rumbling sounds of artillery were heard from the north of the city.

Ye Qingshan looked over and said, "The Japanese reinforcements from Shanghai have arrived."

In this way, Ye Qingshan knew that they would not stay in Hangzhou for long.

"Wan Lin, I agree with your proposal.

I'll give you two companies of troops.

Take them with you to eliminate the biggest traitors in the city.

The bodies were hung in the city so that everyone could see the consequences of being a traitor. "

Just now, Wan Lin suggested to Ye Qingshan that they take the opportunity to get rid of several big traitors in the city.

This is to make an example of someone.

From now on, let’s see who will dare to become a traitor and work for the Japanese.

Earlier, Ye Qingshan had no more soldiers, so he did not reply to Wan Lin.

Now, Xiao Wusheng and the others are retreating.

It's time to do this.

"Yes!"

Wan Lin responded happily.

“I’ll only give you two hours.

Two hours later, the entire army retreated. ”
