Chapter 351: Trying to Understand His Intentions
351 Guess the Master's Intentions
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the Japanese carrier-based aircraft appeared on the front line.
Launch an attack on the national army troops.
The Japanese, who had been retreating all the way, finally regained their confidence and completely stopped their defeat.
At the same time, the Japanese carrier-based aircraft group appeared.
It also brought an end to the recovery operations of the national army against the surrounding cities.
Fortunately, Ye Qingshan gave us advance notice.
Chen Cheng informed the various Kuomintang troops on the front line of the news several hours in advance.
Let all the national army troops be prepared.
Even after the Japanese carrier-based aircraft group appeared, there were not many casualties.
However, the international pilots commanded by Johnson unexpectedly appeared on the front battlefield.
A fierce air battle took place for several hours with the Japanese carrier-based aircraft formation.
In the end, each side lost more than a dozen fighter planes and hurriedly returned.
The Battle of Nanjing continued until this time.
It's basically over.
The battle lines of both sides were pushed back to the Changzhou-Guangde line by the National Army and fell into confrontation again.
The Japanese were unable to counterattack in a short period of time.
The disastrous defeat of this wave of Japanese invaders in the battle of Nanjing resulted in the loss of more than 40,000 people, in addition to the 80,000 to 90,000 people lost in the Battle of Shanghai.
Even the Japanese could not bear such a huge loss for a while.
A new round of emergency conscription and mobilization has begun in the Japanese country.
What's more, the Battle of Xuzhou in the north was still going on.
Before the Battle of Xuzhou was over, the Japanese basically did not have the ability to launch a major battle in other directions.
After all, the Japanese are from a small island country with scarce resources.
Relying entirely on imports for war resources is simply unsustainable.
Ye Qingshan was still in Zhenjiang at this time.
The First Militia Division, led by Zhou Xinghai, also rushed to Zhenjiang.
Ye Qingshan once again reorganized the more than 17,000 soldiers in Zhenjiang City.
The abolition of the militia division was a transition in itself.
Zhou Xinghai's 208st Militia Division was also incorporated into the th Division.
At the same time, due to the enthusiasm of the people of Zhenjiang.
Less than a day after Ye Qingshan led his troops into the city, hundreds of college students volunteered to join the army.
Someone originally suggested that a group of new soldiers could be recruited in Zhenjiang.
However, this is an extremely sensitive period.
How should Ye Qingshan and the headquarters finally resolve the issue of Ye Qingshan's seizure of power?
No results have been reached yet.
Ye Qingshan also didn't want to overly stimulate the headquarters.
Therefore, the request to recruit new soldiers was not agreed.
Just accepted those few hundred college students.
In Ye Qingshan's view, he can recruit ordinary soldiers anywhere.
However, these knowledgeable college students are the talents he needs most for his future development.
No amount is too much.
"Sir, a telegram from Commander Sun.
They have arrived near Xuancheng and are on standby.
At this time, no one knows their whereabouts.”
Xiao Wusheng became Ye Qingshan's adjutant again, handed Ye Qingshan a telegram and said.
"Ah."
Ye Qingshan nodded.
Sun Mingxu and Zhang Fa's 209th Division did not wait for the Japanese's new supply convoy near the Lishui River.
They will have nothing to do with the subsequent operations.
Ye Qingshan simply asked them to march secretly to the south and meet them in the south.
Ye Qingshan had already prepared for the worst in his heart.
If, this time, he and the headquarters cannot reach a final settlement.
He would lead the 208th Division to break out, and by then the 209th Division would be in a position to support them from the outside.
After all, there were tens of thousands of other national army troops around Zhenjiang at that time.
Of course, this is the worst case scenario.
Ye Qingshan would never take this path unless it was absolutely necessary.
Not to fire the first shot at one's own people was the strict order he gave to his subordinates.
Those who disobey will be dealt with by surrendering to the enemy.
"Commander Chen, no telegram yet?"
Ye Qingshan asked the young martial artist.
"no!"
"There is a telegram. Send it here immediately."
"Yes."
Xiao Wusheng retreated, his expression solemn, and whispered to himself: "Chief Ye is also nervous.
He doesn’t even know. This is the seventh time he has told me about this today.”
Ye Qingshan stood on the city wall, looked at the surrounding scenery, sighed, and felt mixed emotions.
When Ye Qingshan returned to the headquarters.
Zhou Pingkou and a group of officers are formulating a "breakout" action plan.
This is what Ye Qingshan instructed.
But he hoped he wouldn't have to use it.

At the same time, the 88th Division headquarters was temporarily stationed.
It is not far from Zhenjiang City where Ye Qingshan is.
"What? The special commissioner asked us to go to Zhenjiang and disarm the 208th Division?
Chief of Staff, you read the message correctly, didn't you? "
Sun Yuanliang was originally counting how many Japanese artillery pieces they had seized outside the city, and he was still very happy.
Suddenly Chief of Staff Chen Sunong came in and told an extremely shocking news.
Sun Yuanliang's eyes widened on the spot.
Sun Yuanliang rushed over, snatched the telegram from Chief of Staff Chen Sunong, and started reading it himself.
Looking at it, it’s true.
“Is this special envoy crazy?
Does he know what he is doing?
There is no need to be so anxious to kill the donkey after it has done its job. "
Sun Yuanliang got angry on the spot and shouted loudly.
However, after Sun Yuanliang finished yelling, he quickly frowned again.
He looked at Chief of Staff Chen Sunong and asked, "Does Commander Chen have any orders?"
"The command from the headquarters is still the same as before. Stay where you are."
Hearing this, Sun Yuanliang immediately tore up the telegram in his hand and said to Chen Sunong: "Commander Chen is still sensible.
This damn special envoy is not in his right mind.
Tell the people in the telegraph room that we never received that telegram.
Go delete the telegram record later."
When Chen Sunong saw this, he understood what Sun Yuanliang meant.
Still decided to help Ye Qingshan.
"Master, please think it through.
This time, Special Envoy Song is of no ordinary background.
He also holds the Chairman's written order.
Chief of Staff Chen Sunong reminded.
“So what.
Now, we are at war.
I only follow the orders from the headquarters.
If any Tom, Dick or Harry comes, they can command our army at will.
Then it won't be a mess.
Unless Commander Chen personally gives orders to our 88th Division.
Otherwise, everyone, stay in the garrison and no one is allowed to approach Zhenjiang City."
"Damn it, I still don't believe it.
There are still people who dare to start infighting and target Ye Qingshan at this time.
At worst, we can make a big deal out of it.
Let the people of the country judge for themselves.”
"Yes, Master!"
Song Xilian of the 36th Division made almost the same decision as Sun Yuanliang.
The same is true for almost all other divisions of the National Army.
There is no fool who can sit in this position.
No one wants to be the first to take action until the situation becomes clear.
No one wants to do something to himself, as that would result in him being labeled a traitor.
"Let us, who have just fought side by side with the Japs on the battlefield,
Do it to each other.
I really don’t know what this special envoy is thinking.”
Wang Yaowu didn't understand either.
Song Ziyao waited in Jinling City for most of the day, and his face became more and more ugly.
"So far, no troop commander has called us back?"
Song Ziyao asked the secretary behind him with a gloomy face.
"No, Commissioner."
The secretary shook his head.
"Huh, these old bastards!
I gave them the opportunity to advance.
None of them dared to take control.
They are all idiots. "
Song Ziyao was very angry.
He didn't understand why the Kuomintang commanders on the front line were so afraid of Ye Qingshan.
He remembered that these soldiers were not like this before.
These guys used to be very brave.
There is nothing they dare not do.
It makes more sense. Song Ziyao is certain that Ye Qingshan is doomed this time.
Even if Ye Qingshan made great contributions, it would be the same.
He has a basis for this.
It wasn't just a random guess on his part.
If you don’t believe me, just go and take a look at the years when warlords were fighting each other in the country.
In short, all the generals in the national army who had stabbed the principal in the back were eventually brought down.
The principal never tolerated this.
Unless they are warlords whose power is still very strong, even the principal has to compromise for the time being.
For example, the Guangxi clique, the Guangdong clique, and Yan Xishan.
Ye Qingshan’s situation this time is similar.
Moreover, Ye Qingshan’s situation is more complicated.
Ye Qingshan's reputation was too high at this time.
You've all heard of a person who is too successful to be a threat to his master.
Therefore, Song Ziyao concluded that Ye Qingshan would definitely not have a chance to make a comeback this time.
As long as I help the principal and get rid of Ye Qingshan, it would be a great achievement.
You will definitely be valued more by the principal.
I have to say that Special Envoy Song is really good at guessing his superiors' intentions.
"Since these old men are unwilling to perform this feat.
Then we'll do it ourselves.
Inform Boss Dai that I want to use his people. "
Song Ziyao said to the secretary behind him.
"Just say that this is an order from the principal himself."
Song Ziyao was worried that Boss Dai would not cooperate with him.
I quickly added one more sentence.
"Special Envoy, should we wait a little longer?
Communicate with Commander Chen again.
Commander Chen is still…"
The secretary quietly made suggestions.
In fact, he knew that if Song Ziyao's plan succeeded, he would be in trouble.
That's a big deal.
"Wait a minute,
Then Chen Cheng and Ye Qingshan are in the same boat.
Now, Chen Cheng must be speaking well of Ye Qingshan to the headquarters.
If we wait any longer, our chance to make a contribution will be gone."
“Remember, if you want to get to the top, you have to step on the corpses of many people.
There must not be an ounce of mercy or mercy.
If you don't eat people, people will eat you.
Understand? "
Song Ziyao's cruel and sinister expression scared the secretary so much that he nodded quickly.
"Ming...I understand!"
"Go!"
Ten minutes later, the secretary came back and told Song Ziyao, "I've contacted Boss Dai.
Promise to cooperate with us.
Let's go find this guy in the city.
This person will cooperate with us in the follow-up actions.”
The secretary handed Song Ziyao a note with the name of a lieutenant colonel in the National Army written on it.
“Haha, done.
Ye Qingshan, you are finished. "
Looking at the name on the note, Song Ziyao laughed triumphantly.
It was at this time that Chen Cheng was in the headquarters.
Chen Cheng finally breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the latest instructions from the headquarters.
"Someone, prepare the car.
I want to meet Ye Qingshan in person!"
(I feel bad for Kawenka!
I still have to write on Chinese Valentine's Day, woohoo! Asking for a Chinese Valentine's Day gift! )
