Chapter 708: Complete Annihilation of the Japanese 19th Mixed Brigade

708th completely wiped out the Japanese 19th Mixed Brigade

"Haha, this devil brigade commander is also a fantasy.

They actually wanted to use street fighting to consume us. They really thought street fighting was so easy.

When we have complete artillery suppression.

The Japanese in the city were fighting street fighting and positional fighting, and there was not much difference.

It’s just a slow death.”

Ye Qingshan continued to receive news at the command center about the various assault troops that had entered the city and were eliminating one Japanese street fighting squad after another.

I couldn't help but laugh.

"Yes, the Japanese commander really thought he could copy the miracle the commander created in the battle of Nanjing.

He doesn't even take a piss to look in the mirror, does he have the ability to do that? "

Wu Hongguang next to him also took the opportunity to flatter him.

"Haha, Deputy Commander Wu, stop flattering me.

I'm not as great as you say.

Back then, when I fought in Nanjing, I only used street fighting to delay time.

We did not rely solely on street fighting to defeat the Japanese.

Moreover, there were many reasons why I was able to use street fighting to withstand the attacks of several Japanese divisions.

On the one hand, the Japanese were also exhausted at that time, and it was the first time they encountered the street fighting style I used, so they were unable to adapt for a while.

On the other hand, it was also thanks to Captain Gui that they were able to defend Purple Mountain at the cost of almost losing all their troops.

The Japanese were unable to completely suppress the entire city with artillery fire from beginning to end.

Without this, we would have no chance to fight back in the end.

Do you really think that you can eliminate the huge gap in firepower between us and the enemy through street fighting?

That’s not the case.”

Ye Qingshan spoke slowly, his thoughts returning to the brutal battle in Jinling.

Ye Qingshan only told Wu Hongguang some of the details.

There were so many reasons why Ye Qingshan was able to win the battle in Jinling when no one was optimistic about him.

Using street fighting tactics is only one aspect.

Now, the remnants of the Japanese 19th Mixed Brigade are besieged in Chaozhou City. The situation is much worse than what Ye Qingshan faced in Nanjing.

At least, the Japs were unable to capture Purple Mountain from beginning to end, and were unable to use their large-caliber artillery to bombard any place in the city at will.

There is no way to use these large-caliber artillery to provide firepower support for the Japanese street fighting teams.

This was why the street fighting troops commanded by Ye Qingshan were delayed for so long.

Finally, Ye Qingshan used the young and strong men in the city to arm a large force for counterattack.

But now, what kind of situation are the remnants of the Japanese 19th Mixed Brigade facing?

What they faced was an assault team that could call for an attack from 155mm howitzers outside the city at any time via walkie-talkie.

Once the assault team locked on to the general position of the Japanese street fighting soldiers defending.

Just call for artillery fire from outside the city.

After a few 155mm artillery shells hit the area defended by the Japanese, it was turned into ruins.

The assault team only needs to rush forward and rely on the submachine guns and rocket launchers in their hands to deal with the remaining Japanese soldiers after the shelling.

In this situation, the Japanese want to rely on street fighting to narrow the gap between the two sides?

Dreaming!

If Ye Qingshan was in Jinling at the beginning, he would also face the current situation of the Japanese 19th Mixed Brigade.

Ye Qingshan dared to guarantee that he could not win.

"Commander, this walkie-talkie is really a good thing.

Our assault team that entered the city was able to quickly obtain artillery fire support.

It's all thanks to this thing.

Our grassroots officers particularly like to use walkie-talkies.

But now, all the walkie-talkies in the military's reserve have been distributed.

There are still some gaps.

Should we buy more walkie-talkies?"

Wu Hongguang also has a good vision.

As early as in combat, people realized the significant impact of walkie-talkies on the transmission of battlefield information.

“Don’t worry, the next batch of aid from overseas has already arrived in Myanmar.

It was simply because war had broken out in western Hunan and northern Jiangxi before.

As a result, the transportation channel was cut off by the Japanese.

These supplies just cannot be transported to us.

Just make do with it for now.

Once we take over Yangcheng, we will have everything we need.”

"Yes, Commander, you are wise.

Although there are not enough walkie-talkies in the army, they should be enough to last until the end of our counterattack."

The street fighting in Chaozhou City continued until the morning of the 12th.

Lasted nearly two days.

These two thousand remaining Japanese soldiers put up a very tenacious resistance.

However tenacious they were, they were still wiped out one by one by the assault teams of the 89th Army that broke into the city.

“Commander, there’s news from the New 1st Division.

The remaining Japanese soldiers in the city have basically been wiped out.

Now, they have surrounded the headquarters of the Japanese 19th Mixed Brigade.

There are only a group of Japanese soldiers left here.

The commander of the 19th Mixed Brigade of the Japanese sent someone to tell you that he wanted to see you.

At that time, he is willing to lay down his arms and surrender.”

Ye Qingshan heard the voice of the commander of the New 1st Division on the front line on the phone.

Ye Qingshan couldn't help but sneer and said disdainfully: "Everyone wants to see me.

Commander Xia, do you think I have a lot of free time?

A mere Japanese brigade commander who is only a major general is not worthy of bargaining with me.

In my prisoner-of-war camp, one more or one less of him wouldn't make any difference.

Let him surrender directly to you.

If he doesn't want to, you can send him to see their Amaterasu.

Don’t report this kind of thing to me in the future.”

The commander of the New 1st Division on the opposite side was not unhappy at all after being scolded by Ye Qingshan.

There was actually a hint of excitement in the voice coming from the other end of the phone.

“Yes, Commander.

I've remembered this and will never bother you with such trivial matters again.

Let me take care of this devil brigade commander."

After saying that, the excited New 1st Division Commander Xia Yang directly hung up Ye Qingshan's phone.

Hearing the call being hung up, Ye Qingshan was surprised and laughed and scolded: "Xia Yang, this guy, he actually dared to hang up on me first."

Generally speaking, when you call your superior, he or she should hang up first.

Deputy Commander Wu beside him also laughed and said, "Commander, Commander Xia was just too happy.

I guess his mind is full of what you just said.

Let him personally deal with the Japanese brigade commander. That's it.

If we could capture alive or kill a Japanese brigade commander who is a major general, this guy would have something to brag about in the future.

I must be so envious of the other teachers."

After listening to Deputy Commander Wu's explanation, Ye Qingshan basically agreed with it.

Ye Qingshan did not blame the other party. He was not that petty.

Just half an hour later, Commander Xia called again and reported to Ye Qingshan angrily:

"Commander, that damn Japanese brigade commander has no good intentions.

He had no intention of surrendering, he was just trying to trick you into coming here to harm you.

This guy installed a lot of explosives in his headquarters.

He also killed dozens of our soldiers before he died. He deserves to die."
