Chapter 248 Return to Jinling

248 Return to Jinling

Listening to the soldier from the Third Company who came back to report the news, Ye Qingshan knew that the Third Company had made up their minds to sacrifice themselves and stay behind to cover their retreat.

Ye Qingshan was not indecisive. He knew that the decision of the third company commander was correct.

He saluted in the direction of the third company's blocking attack.

"Blow up all the extra ships."

After everyone was on board, Ye Qingshan ordered the other redundant ships to be blown up.

The fleet then set out upstream.

When we came, we went downstream, which was much faster.

On the way back, we went slower because we were going upstream.

As the fleet set off, they quickly disappeared into the night.

By the time the Japanese general led his troops to annihilate the third company and arrived at the riverside.

Ye Qingshan had left this area long ago.

"idiot!"

The devil general was furious and incompetent.

"Follow the river bank and chase them!"

Finally, after the Japanese general had vented his anger, he still had to continue the pursuit.

They couldn't travel by water, and they couldn't find a boat in a short time.

We can only pursue along the river bank.

At this time, the newly appointed old Japanese soldier Matsui Iwane had already ordered several Japanese troops upstream to go to the riverside to block the special operations battalion.

Ye Qingshan and his companions advanced in the river for about half an hour.

I saw countless torches appearing on the left bank of the river in front of me.

When Ye Qingshan saw this, he knew that this must be the Japanese army, otherwise where would there be so many torches in the middle of the night.

"Speed ​​up and rush over!"

Ye Qingshan quickly gave orders to the soldiers.

Let them speed up.

Soon, the Japanese seemed to have discovered that they were on the river.

Boom!

A shell landed on the river.

"Damn it, the Japs actually dared to fire.

They are not afraid of blowing up that devil prince."

When Black Bear saw that the Japs dared to bombard them, he cursed angrily,

However, the Japanese artillery fire only a few rounds before stopping.

“Hey, I knew it.

They didn’t dare to fire randomly.”

The black bear laughed triumphantly.

Ye Qingshan frowned, as they were still some distance away from returning to the Jinling waters.

Now, they have been discovered by the devils.

The Japs will definitely organize boats downstream to intercept and kill them.

On the other side, Lu Dahai and Zhao Dongsheng led their troops to lurk in the Xiaonangou area for a day and a night.

Just an hour ago, they finally received a telegram sent to them by Ye Qingshan himself.

“Captain Lu, Commander Ye and the others succeeded.

Commander Ye and his men ambushed the Japanese prince's special train and captured him alive.

Now, Commander Ye and his men are returning by water.

Let us go along the river to meet them immediately.

The Japanese will definitely not give up and will definitely stop Commander Ye and his men at the riverside."

After receiving the telegram, Zhao Dongsheng immediately found Lu Dahai and told him the good news.

"Oh my god, Commander Ye and his men are actually going to capture the Japanese prince.

Is that the Japanese prince who ordered the firing of poison gas bombs on the people in the city?"

When Lu Dahai heard the news, he was also shocked.

"Yes, that vicious devil prince."

Zhao Dongsheng nodded.

"Damn it, these little devils are no good.

This devil prince is an even more evil person, he should be arrested and must not be spared."

As Lu Dahai spoke, he also became excited and looked at Zhao Donghai and said, "Commander Ye, please capture that devil prince this time.

Once the news gets back, it will surely cause a sensation in the entire army and even the entire country.

Now we have the opportunity to encounter such an important battle.

We made a lot of money.”

Zhao Dongsheng also smiled and nodded: "Indeed.

Therefore, we have to go pick up Commander Ye and his men next, and we must not let them down. "

"That's for sure."

Lu Dahai patted his chest and made the promise.

Immediately, the two men gathered their soldiers and marched south along the river.

As a result, they soon found traces of the Japanese in a small town.

"Hide and send someone to find out the situation."

Zhao Dongsheng suggested.

Soon, the soldiers they sent out returned to report.

"Captain, we found the Japanese in the villages ahead, robbing fishermen's boats.

There were even some devils in the woods cutting down trees to make makeshift rafts.”

The returning soldier said so.

"Damn it, the Japanese are looking for a boat, they must be trying to stop Commander Ye from returning."

Lu Dahai understood immediately.

"Ah."

Zhao Donghai also nodded.

“So, we can’t let the devils succeed.

We have to destroy the ships the Japs have collected.

As long as they can't get into the water, no matter how many troops the Japanese have, they can't do anything to Commander Ye and his men who are returning by water."

Zhao Dongsheng said.

"Makes sense."

"Captain Lu, let's do this..."

Zhao Dongsheng immediately came up with a plan and the two of them split up and acted.

An hour later, Ye Qingshan's fleet was approaching the waters of Jinling.

At the same time, this place is also close to the defense zone of the Japanese 13th Division, and there are Japanese not only on the left bank of the river.

Even on the other side of the river, there is the Japanese 116th Regiment.

This is also the most dangerous waters they have to pass through on their way back to Jinling.

"Everyone prepare for battle."

Ye Qingshan felt that the Japanese were probably ahead and were ready to intercept them.

Boom!

Suddenly, a huge explosion was heard on the left shore in front.

Ye Qingshan, Hei Xiong and others couldn't help but look towards the shore in front of them on the left.

"Sir, there seems to be a fight between the Japanese and our people on the shore ahead."

The little Wusheng said.

Ye Qingshan laughed immediately: "It should be Lu Dahai and Zhao Dongsheng who attacked the Japanese troops who were trying to intercept us on the shore."

Soon, when Ye Qingshan and his fleet passed through the battle area.

Then they saw a fishing boat coming towards them.

"He's one of us, let him come over!"

When Ye Qingshan discovered that the two people coming over were Kuomintang soldiers, he let them come over.

Immediately, Ye Qingshan learned from the two Kuomintang soldiers that his previous guess was correct.

It was indeed Lu Dahai and Zhao Dongsheng who led the team to attack the Japanese intercepting troops.

"Ha ha.

Give them both credit.

You go back and tell Lu Dahai and Zhao Dongsheng to wait until our fleet passes.

Let them also lead their troops to retreat.

There are many devils chasing us from behind, don't let them surround them."

With the two battalions of Lu Dahai and Zhao Dongsheng, they attacked the Japanese who were collecting boats.

It can be said that their hopes were completely cut off. The Japanese intercepted Ye Qingshan and his men on the Yangtze River tonight.

Another hour later, Ye Qingshan's fleet entered the Jinling waters.

Now, Ye Qingshan was completely relieved.

When Ye Qingshan led his men back to Xiaguan, it was already late at night and dawn was approaching.

At the Japanese headquarters, the old Japanese soldier Matsui Iwane received the last news from the front line after dawn.

His face was as gloomy as water, which frightened the surrounding Japanese officers into silence.

The old Japanese soldier Matsui Iwane already knew that all their attempts to block the attack last night had failed.

The troops he sent out failed to rescue the Japanese prince.

Now, the trouble is big.

He didn't even dare to imagine how angry their emperor and the top brass of the domestic military headquarters would be when they learned the news.
