386 Captured Japanese Commander
Bang bang bang!
The more than one hundred puppet soldiers led by Wan Lin and Wei Liangcai suddenly rushed out from behind and fired at the Japanese and puppet soldiers near Fengshan Gate.
He directly killed several Japanese devils at the city gate and more than twenty puppet soldiers.
"Quick, open the city gate!"
Wan Lin shouted.
He led his men to the city gate and opened it.
At this time, a commando team from the Second Regiment had already reached the city gate amid the hail of bullets from the Japanese.
"Erniu, bring the explosives and go over there and blow open the city gate for me."
A platoon leader of the commando team shouted to the soldiers behind him.
"Yes."
As a result, the soldier had no chance to rush over.
Suddenly, the city gate opened by itself.
This made the commandos outside the city somewhat confused.
"Brothers of the National Army outside the city, come into the city quickly."
Wei Liangcai shouted.
At this time, the Japanese in the city had also reacted, and a small group of Japanese were trying to retake the city gate.
They were exchanging fire with the one hundred puppet soldiers under Wei Liangcai.
As a result, these more than one hundred puppet soldiers could no longer hold on.
The commander of the Kuomintang commando team outside the city gate was also overjoyed when he saw this scene.
"Quick, rush in."
The platoon leader acted decisively and immediately led the commandos into the city.
The sky had already brightened at this time, and Ye Qingshan saw this scene through a telescope from hundreds of meters away.
He couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Look, it seems that God is helping me this time."
"Come on!"
The king outside the city boldly saw this scene and immediately ordered his men to blow the charge horn.
Teams of national army soldiers swarmed towards the city gate.
Inside the city, the commandos had already climbed up the city wall and attacked the Japanese defenders from behind.
In an instant, the Japanese defenders at Fengshan Gate collapsed.
"Little Wusheng, let's go.
We're going into town."
When Ye Qingshan saw a large number of soldiers from the Second Regiment rushing in through the city gate.
Ye Qingshan called upon the young martial artist next to him and moved their positions, preparing to enter Hangzhou City.
"General, this battle was won too easily."
After Ye Qingshan and Wang Dachuan met at Fengshan Gate, Wang Dachuan also looked incredulous.
He didn't expect that in less than an hour, they had captured Fengshan Gate and entered Hangzhou City.
Such an important town, but the Japanese defense is so weak.
"That's right, my judgment is correct.
The Japanese don't have many troops in Hangzhou.
Or maybe it was the Japanese commander in Hangzhou who didn’t expect us to dare to attack Hangzhou.”
Ye Qingshan laughed.
"Commander-in-Chief."
At this time, Wan Lin also came over with Wei Liangcai.
“I saw it all. My men were able to break into the city so quickly this time.
You have done a great job.”
Ye Qingshan looked at Wan Lin and said admiringly.
"It was also fortunate that Captain Wei and his men turned from darkness to light and turned against us on the battlefield.
We were able to open the city gate successfully only because we attacked the Japs from behind."
Ye Qingshan looked at Wei Liangcai next to him and knew his identity.
Although Ye Qingshan looked down on these puppet troops, they did make contributions in this battle.
Ye Qingshan looked at Wei Liangcai and said, "You made a wise choice.
Walk the right path from now on, there is no future in being a traitor."
“Yes, I remember.
I will also lead my brothers to fight the Japanese in the future."
Wei Liangcai said with a smile.
Ye Qingshan knew that the reason why someone like Wei Liangcai turned against his allies at the critical moment was definitely because Wan Lin had promised him a lot of benefits.
It's nothing more than money, military rank, and position.
As for whether the top military officials would fulfill their promise afterwards, that was none of Ye Qingshan’s business.
Boom!
At this time, explosions and fierce gunfire were heard again not far from the city.
They were attacking the city, and the assault troops of the Second Regiment encountered a firefight with the Japanese in the city.
"Commander, I'll let Captain Wei's brothers lead the way.
Lead your soldiers to attack the enemy's headquarters, armory, artillery, vault and other important institutions in the city."
Wan Lin continued.
Wang Dachuan had already arranged these things before Ye Qingshan entered the city.
At this time, two thousand soldiers under the Second Regiment, divided into companies and platoons, were rushing towards important targets of the Japanese in Hangzhou City.
Not long after, the special operations battalion went to the lower reaches of the Qiantang River and blew up the Japanese pontoon bridge.
He also cooperated with a company of the Second Regiment to capture Wangjiang Gate on the east side of Hangzhou City.
At this time, it was already bright.
The news that Ye Qingshan led his troops to attack Hangzhou City spread like a hurricane.
Soon, the Japanese Songhu Garrison Command in Shanghai, Gu Zhutong's Third War Zone Headquarters, Chen Cheng's Wuhan Garrison Headquarters, and the National Army Command in the mountain city arrived.
Received this information.
"What? What did you say?
Ye Qingshan led his troops and entered Hangzhou City?"
When Gu Zhutong received this news, his eyes widened.
"Yes, this is a secret message sent back by our undercover personnel in Hangzhou.
Absolutely right. "
"Oh my god, Ye Qingshan dares to attack Hangzhou with a division?
And let him succeed?
How did he do that?
Gu Zhutong was a little shocked.
“Everyone says Ye Qingshan is very courageous, and I have witnessed his courage this time.
If he had been the commander that day.
I guarantee that he will definitely dare to attack Shanghai."
Gu Zhutong didn't know the real situation on the front line.
If he knew that Ye Qingshan only led a regiment to enter Hangzhou.
I guess I'll be even more surprised.
On the other hand, Chen Cheng also received the news in Wuhan.
"Ye Qingshan led his troops into Hangzhou?
He's crazy?
They didn't ask him to bomb the Japanese airport, he could just run away after bombing the airport.
Why did he go to Hangzhou?
Is the news accurate?
Chen Cheng looked at his adjutant Chen Junlan with some fatigue and asked.
“Commander-in-Chief, the information is absolutely accurate.
It was a secret message sent by the Military Control Commission's undercover agent in Hangzhou.
In addition, our electronic surveillance department also intercepted the call this morning.
The Japs' rear-end telegraph communications are very frequent, and I'm afraid this is related to this incident."
Chen Junlan answered.
“Hey, it looks like Ye Qingshan is going to launch a night attack on the Japanese at the airport in Hangzhou.
It’s not going so smoothly, and they must be facing a big crisis now.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have had to enter Hangzhou.”
After a moment, Chen Cheng's face showed no joy at all, instead he sighed and said.
"Commander-in-Chief, why do you say that?"
Adjutant Chen Junlan was puzzled.
“Based on my understanding of Ye Qingshan.
The current operation of attacking Hangzhou is irrational at first glance.
Totally unnecessary.
If the battle goes well, Ye Qingshan can lead his troops to evacuate Hangzhou at daybreak.
At this time, the surrounding Japs must be rushing to Hangzhou to provide support.
Now, every moment he stays in Hangzhou, the more danger he will be in.
But he still chose to attack Hangzhou.
Most likely he was in trouble, forcing him to enter Hangzhou, a risky move.
Choose to besiege Wei to save Zhao to deal with the crisis.
Anyway, I owe him a favor this time, Master Ye Qingshan."
It’s similar to what Chen Cheng said.
At this moment, the Japanese in the entire Songhu area were greatly shocked by the news that Hangzhou had fallen.
The Japanese troops stationed in Shanghai and Suzhou in the north have begun to move south.
It is expected to arrive in Hangzhou in one day.
The Japanese 40th Division in the south was also trying hard to rush back.
For a moment, the Japanese rear area, which should have been calm, was suddenly in turmoil because Ye Qingshan attacked Hangzhou.
*

At this time, the fighting in Hangzhou was still going on.
"Sir, the enemy's city defense headquarters is ahead."
A puppet soldier pointed to a large courtyard in the urban area and said to a battalion commander of the National Army behind him.
"Damn it, I finally got to eat some fat meat.
Brothers, attack.
Capture the high-ranking Japanese official."
The battalion commander of the 3rd Battalion of the 2nd Regiment shouted excitedly.
Boom boom boom!
A moment later, their mortar gunners and rocket launcher operators fired shells at the Japanese city defense headquarters compound.
"rush!"
Under the cover of artillery fire, more than a hundred National Army soldiers broke into the Japanese headquarters.
"Commander, please go."
At this time, inside, the Japanese city defense commander, Lieutenant General Shiho Itarou, was being protected by a group of Japanese officers and soldiers.
Just preparing to break out and escape.
As a result, before they could escape, they collided head-on with soldiers from the third battalion who rushed in from outside.
The two sides exchanged fierce fire and neither side gave in.
After all, the Japanese soldiers have to protect their commander and help him break through.
As for the National Army soldiers, they had extensive experience in capturing Japanese generals.
The third battalion commander looked at the old Japanese man who was protected by a group of Japanese officers from a distance, even though he could not see the epaulettes on his military uniform clearly.
The third battalion commander knew that it must be a Japanese general.
Otherwise there would be no such treatment.
"Brothers, the Japanese general is in front.
The chance to eat meat has come, go for it! "
The third battalion commander shouted loudly.
At this moment, the other national army soldiers around became even more excited.
He rushed forward madly, firing the submachine gun in his hand as he rushed forward.
Kill any Japs who try to block their advance.
I swear to catch that Japanese general.
This is a great achievement and an honor.
After the war, their third battalion will definitely receive personal commendation from Ye Qingshan.
You are in Ye Qingshan’s 86th Army.
If we don't capture a few Japanese generals and don't participate in the battle to encircle and annihilate the Japanese regiments and divisions.
After the war, when your comrades were bragging and talking nonsense, you had nothing to brag about.
You can only listen to what others say.
Also, because Ye Qingshan had captured too many Japanese generals.
Let his subordinates' vision be raised.
So, now the regiment commanders and battalion commanders under Ye Qingshan are capturing prisoners on the battlefield.
At least one has to be a senior Japanese general with the rank of colonel or above to be worthy of their attention.
All the Japanese soldiers below the rank of colonel were treated equally and killed.
No prisoners worth taking.
"Stop these Chinese soldiers and cover the commander's advance!
Use the die-hard tactic. "
A Japanese colonel shouted loudly.
Give suicide attack orders to the surrounding Japanese soldiers to delay the charge of the National Army soldiers.
"Onboard!"
Soon, a Japanese soldier detonated a grenade and rushed towards the Kuomintang soldiers.
"Gather the fire!"
Da da da!
When the Kuomintang soldiers saw this scene, they immediately concentrated their fire on these suicide attacks.
Don't give them the chance to get close.
In the end, no matter how crazy these devils in the headquarters are.
They were unable to break out with the Japanese commander.
In the end, the Third Battalion blocked them in a civilian house and killed all the Japanese soldiers.
The remaining few senior Japanese generals were all captured.
Including the Japanese city defense commander, Lieutenant General Shiho Itarou!
