Cross the Songhu battlefield and rise to become the most powerful warlord

Chapter 780: Let’s Start with an Appetizer

780 Let’s start with an appetizer

Those officers who followed Ye Qingshan and fought their way out of the battlefield are now able to stand on their own.

Wang Dachuan's brigade was the first of Lu Dahai's entire division to arrive in northern Guangdong.

It is also the most powerful brigade in the entire division.

Their return allowed Ye Qingshan to speed up the operation to strangle the Japanese 40th Division.

"Does your brigade need to rest?"

Ye Qingshan looked at Wang Dachuan and asked.

"Commander, why are you still resting?

Our division was the last to arrive among the four main infantry divisions of the entire army.

We are the ones who walk slowly, I...

Uh, we were so anxious along the way."

Wang Dachuan habitually wanted to say "I" but when he saw Ye Qingshan glaring at him, he immediately realized that he was saying "I" in front of Ye Qingshan.

It seems inappropriate, so I immediately changed my words.

“Now that our brigade has finally returned, who would tell the old… I say rest and recuperation.

I was anxious with him.

Commander, please give our brigade a mission.

I will lead people to fight the Japanese devils now."

Wang Dachuan's face was full of anticipation. They had indeed waited too long for this battle.

They were ready to vent all the resentment they had accumulated during the march on the Japanese.

Hearing Wang Dachuan's eager request to fight, Ye Qingshan also smiled and nodded.

“Okay, since you don’t need to rest.

Then let’s go and support Long Wendong’s 4th Division immediately.

They are now encircling and suppressing the Japanese 22nd Mixed Brigade, and have not yet defeated them.

During this period, their Fourth Division fought a bloody battle with the Japanese in Shaoguan for half a month, suffering heavy casualties.

You bring some support over there.

We will try to finish the battle by 12:00 am the day after tomorrow.

Completely wipe out the 22nd Mixed Brigade of the Japanese."

After Ye Qingshan finished speaking, Wang Dachuan did not respond immediately, but asked in confusion:

"Commander, didn't you say that after our division returns, we will defeat the Japanese 40th Division?

Why are you asking us to fight the 22nd Mixed Brigade of the Japanese now?"

Wang Dachuan still thought that Ye Qingshan was not going to use their brigade to participate in the battle to annihilate the Japanese 40th Division.

Therefore, I was somewhat reluctant to fight against the Japanese 22nd Mixed Brigade.

According to Wang Dachuan's idea, if they wanted to win with this trump card, they would have to wipe out an entire division of the Japanese.

He didn't even look at the idea of ​​fighting against a Japanese mixed brigade.

"What? Are you questioning my orders?"

Ye Qingshan also saw through Wang Dachuan's little thoughts and asked with a cold face.

"No no."

Wang Dachuan immediately waved his hand and said with a smile, "How dare I question the commander's order?

I'm thinking that we have to quickly annihilate the Japanese 40th Division.

So as to avoid letting these devils escape."

"Okay, your little thoughts.

I see it.

Let me tell you the truth.

The Japanese 22nd Mixed Brigade has now been completely surrounded by Long Wendong's th Division east of Shaoguan.

After three days of fierce fighting, there were not many people left in this Japanese brigade.

Now, everyone is relying on a few hills to make the final desperate resistance.

After all, Long Wendong's Fourth Division lost many veterans in the previous defensive battle.

The heavy firepower in their hands was also consumed a lot.

With their own strength, it might take them two days to defeat the Japanese mixed brigade.

I don't want to delay any longer.

Transfer your brigade up there and try to end the battle before noon the day after tomorrow.

Completely annihilate this devil brigade.

Then, your brigade will head north together with Long Wendong's 4th Division.

Participated in the annihilation battle against the Japanese 40th Division.

At this time, Zheng Quezi's Second Division was still fighting with the 40th Division of the Japanese.

The Second Division's strength was not enough to completely surround the Japanese 40th Division like Long Wendong's Fourth Division could.

We need to wait for the main force of your division to arrive.

Let Lu Dahai also lead the main force of your 40st Division and join forces with Zheng Quezi to deal with the Japanese th Division.

We can almost wrap up the Japanese 40th Division.

After the battle on your side is over, you will head north and participate in the final encirclement and annihilation battle against the Japanese 40th Division.

By then, your brigade will be able to serve as the main force in the attack.

Do you understand now? "

After listening to Ye Qingshan's plan, Wang Dachuan was so excited that he couldn't stay still and his mouth was grinning from ear to ear.

He smiled and said, “I knew that the commander is good to us.

Let's have an appetizer before we move on to the main course.

Don't worry, Commander. I will immediately lead the troops to support Commander Long and his men.

Within two days, we will definitely wipe out the Japanese 22nd Mixed Brigade."

"Okay, get lost."

Seeing that Wang Dachuan had understood his good intentions, Ye Qingshan waved his hands in pretended impatience.

Let Wang Dachuan leave.

"Yes!"

Wang Dachuan saluted excitedly, turned around and rushed out on his horse.

Then, Ye Qingshan heard him shouting to the soldiers of his brigade who were marching on the road while riding his horse:

"Everyone, speed up your march.

The commander has ordered our brigade to eliminate the Japanese 22nd Mixed Brigade first.

Then go north to destroy the Japanese 40th Division.

Brothers, the commander is taking care of our brigade.

We must not let the commander down.

Everybody, run for me.

Artillery, artillery, follow me too.

Whoever falls behind, I'll kick his ass."

Listening to Wang Dachuan's loud voice, Ye Qingshan was also startled, and turned his head to look at the adjutant Xiao Wusheng,

He asked, “I mean this?”

The young martial artist also laughed.

"This damn Wang Dachuan, if you don't know, you would think that he is the only one with his brigade going to wipe out the 22nd Mixed Brigade and the 40th Division of the Japanese."

Ye Qingshan was also so angry that he laughed.

The reason why Ye Qingshan explained his battle plan to Wang Dachuan in such detail.

The main reason is that this guy may not be able to see through Ye Qingshan’s intentions.

So, Ye Qingshan simply told him clearly.

In this way, he will have no worries when performing combat missions.

This may also be one of Wang Dachuan's shortcomings.

He does not have good command skills like Zhou Pingkou and Zhang Fa.

If Zhou Pingkou, Zhang Fa, Long Wendong and others were present, Ye Qingshan wouldn't need to explain so much.

They naturally understood.

But there is no way, Wang Dachuan is not like these people, they have all attended regular military academies.

In terms of strategy, I am much worse than these people.

But tactically, Wang Dachuan is not inferior to these people. In terms of combat bravery, their brigade is the leader of the 86th Army.

To put it bluntly, Wang Dachuan is suitable to be a general but not a commander.

This is also why he and Long Wendong were originally competing for the position of commander of the 4th Division.

In the end, Wang Dachuan took the initiative to withdraw from the competition.

Let Long Wendong, who followed Ye Qingshan much later than him, become the commander of the 4th Division.

Wang Dachuan also understood his own disadvantages. In order not to embarrass Ye Qingshan, he chose to serve as the commander of the main brigade of the 1st Division.

Wang Dachuan would resolutely carry out Ye Qingshan's orders without any extra thoughts.

This is also why every time we fought a major battle with the Japanese.

Ye Qingshan needs to use Wang Dachuan's troops to take on the task of tackling tough problems.

Wang Dachuan's troops arrived about three hours later.

The main force of Lu Dahai's entire division arrived in northern Guangdong.

"Wang Dachuan has gone to cooperate with Long Wendong to annihilate the 22nd Mixed Brigade of the Japanese first.

The battle is expected to be over the day after tomorrow morning.

You must lead the main force of your division to the north tonight to support Zheng Quezi's Second Division.

They have been fighting fiercely with the Japanese 40th Division these days.

The Japanese 40th Division had a force of nearly people, which was right next to Zheng Quezi's Second Division and could not be defeated.

Just wait for your first division to come back."

Ye Qingshan said with a smile when he saw Lu Dahai, his most trusted descendant.

“Yes, Commander.

I know what to do. "

After meeting Ye Qingshan, Lu Dahai left all the troops of their division in the Shaoguan area.

They also marched non-stop, taking the main force of their First Division northward to meet up with Zheng Quezi's Second Division.

Just when Ye Qingshan finally waited for the arrival of Lu Dahai's first division, the one he had been longing for.

On the Japanese side, the commander of the 11th Army, Anami Korechika, also received intelligence from the Japanese spies.

Knowing Ye Qingshan's situation, another main force arrived in northern Guangdong.

"Baga, another unit of Ye Qingshan's 86th Army has arrived in northern Guangdong.

Ye Qingshan was just waiting for his direct subordinates to come back.

This is the confidence that gives him the courage to fight back.

We still underestimated the combat effectiveness of the 86th Army under Ye Qingshan's command.

The combat effectiveness of his army is stronger than that of any other Chinese army group."

Anami Korechika also truly felt that Ye Qingshan and his 86th Army were in a difficult situation.

Before, he had never fought against Ye Qingshan’s 86th Army, and he thought that other Japanese generals had been praising Ye Qingshan and his 86th Army.

These are just excuses made by the losers for their defeat.

Especially the bullshit rumor of "Empire Nemesis" made him sneer.

As a result, Anami Korechika no longer has such thoughts.

At this moment, he somewhat understood the feelings of the commander of the Japanese 15th Army who was annihilated by Ye Qingshan in Burma.

“Tell this news to Inaba Shiro and Aoki Shiroichi.

Tell them that Ye Qingshan has a new force at his disposal.

They don't have much time left to break out.

Tomorrow, order the troops attacking Nanxiong to recapture Nanxiong.

Open up the retreat route for the 40th Division, otherwise it may be too late.

Next, Ye Qingshan’s newly returned reinforcements will inevitably join the attack on Aoki Castle with the 40th Division.

Tell that idiot Aoki Chengyi that if their 40th Division does not want to repeat the mistakes of the th Division.

Next, it’s time to fight hard.

I have contacted the 3rd Flight Regiment and will start tomorrow.

The Air Force will bomb the Chinese troops in Nanxiong and Shaoguan at all costs. "

“Also, notify Inaba Shiro’s Sixth Division to abandon their positions at Danxia Mountain.

At all costs, break through the Chinese army's blockade and meet up with Aoki Shiroichi's 40th Division.

The 40th Division must not be annihilated by Ye Qingshan in my hands."

Anami Korechika issued several orders in one breath.

Originally, he wanted to withdraw a regiment from his Third Division and march south.

Attack from the north, the armored battalion and paratrooper battalion defending Nanxiong.

However, he remembered the information he had just received half a day ago, that Xue Yue had sent two more armies south.

Still gave up the idea.

Based on the intelligence about Xue Yue sent by the Japanese spies.

In the past few days, the two Kuomintang army groups on Xue Yue's side have been replenishing ammunition and supplies.

There are signs of moving south to join the war.

This scared the old Japanese like Anan Weiji very much.

He was worried that Xue Yue was waiting for their Third Division to go south to rescue the 40th Division.

As long as they dared to go south, they would give up their retreat route in southern Jiangxi.

Xue Yue will inevitably lead his troops south.

By then, it might not just be the 40th Division that Ye Qingshan and Xue Yue are targeting.

But their entire 11th Army.

“Telegram to the domestic base, we need tactical guidance.

Let them urge the General Headquarters to transfer at least two divisions from northern Jiangxi to the west as soon as possible.

To contain the main force of the Chinese army in Xue Yue's hands.

Buy us some time to get out of northern Guangdong."

Anami Korechika was at a loss at this moment.

At the same time, their 42th Army was asked to deal with Ye Qingshan’s nd Army and the to troops under Xue Yue.

They really can't handle it.

Now, the old Japanese soldier Anami Korechika could only swallow his pride and ask for reinforcements.

After the news reached the Japanese front line, the 40th Division and the th Division.

The old Japanese soldier in Aoki Castle was completely dumbfounded.

"idiot!

Ye Qingshan, he really wants to devour our division!

He means it.”

Aoki Shiroichi felt a strong threat at this moment.

Before this, even if Nanxiong fell, he didn't think Ye Qingshan could really wipe out their 40th Division.

But now, with Ye Qingshan having an additional main division, the situation on the front line was already unfavorable to them.

Perhaps because of this new main division, this battle will come to an end.

Aoki Shiroichi really didn't want his 40th Division to become the second th Division.

He is afraid!

"Quick, notify the Sixth Division and have them meet up with us immediately.

Why, why did their single division have to face the resistance of just one division of the Chinese Army?

We still can't defeat them.

As long as our two major groups join forces, Ye Qingshan will not be able to defeat us.

Send the message quickly."

An old Japanese soldier in Aoki City lost his composure and yelled at the Japanese staff officer next to him.

“Also, notify each squadron.

Wait until tomorrow, when our air force begins bombing.

With the cover of air force bombing, they retreated northward one after another.

No one is allowed to be surrounded by the Chinese army."

Aoki Shiroichi continued to make arrangements with only one purpose.

That is to prevent his own division from being surrounded by Ye Qingshan's troops.

It's really time for them to fight to the death.

If you don’t try hard now, you may not have another chance later.

"Commander, we used incendiary bombs before because of the Chinese.

More than 3,000 soldiers were injured and are still in the division’s field hospital.

We need to speed up the transfer, what should we do with these wounded soldiers?"

The Japanese chief of staff asked helplessly.

These wounded soldiers in their division have been a burden to them ever since they entered northern Guangdong.

It wasn't a big deal before, but if they don't find a way to resolve it now, it will be impossible for their division to withdraw.

After hearing the words of the Japanese Chief of Staff, a fierce look flashed in the eyes of an old Japanese soldier in Qingmu City:

"Tell those wounded soldiers, for the division, for His Majesty, for the empire.

It’s time for them to sacrifice themselves!”

In addition, I am thinking about a new book recently. I want to write a spy war book. Do you like spy war books?)
