402 Painless Revenge
"Extra edition, Extra edition!
The Jiangnan Detachment of the Air Force, under the command of General Ye, annihilated an aircraft carrier fleet of the Japanese.
We sank one aircraft carrier, one battleship, and two destroyers..."
In all the cities that had not fallen, early in the morning of that day, all the newsboys were hawking newspapers along the streets, shouting the same message.
"What, General Ye won another victory.
Why is it the Air Force this time?
Newsboy, give me a newspaper."
After hearing this, someone immediately walked over out of curiosity and bought a newspaper from the newsboy.
"I'll have one too."
"I also want."
Pedestrians on the surrounding streets came to the newsboy one after another.
All the newspapers brought by the newsboy were quickly sold out.
These passers-by are afraid that if they are a little late, they will not be able to buy it.
At this time, no newspaper in the country published any news about Ye Qingshan's victory in the battle.
They are all very popular.
"Oh my god, the Japanese ship was sunk."
People who bought the newspaper saw that it contained not only articles but also photos.
From above you can see the Japanese's huge battleships and aircraft carriers sinking into the sea.
"What kind of big ship is this? Why does it look so strange?"
Many people read the same newspaper, someone asked curiously.
Many people in this era don’t even know what an aircraft carrier is.
Not to mention having seen it.
"This kind of ship is called an aircraft carrier, and it can take off and land planes."
“What? There is such a ship.
How big is that! "
The news spread quickly, and college students in major cities were the most excited.
They took to the streets to celebrate.
Especially at this time, the college students in Wuhan are even more excited.
At this time, the Japanese had already reached the vicinity of Wuhan, and the sound of their artillery could be clearly heard in the city.
At this moment, such a big victory is inspiring.
"General Ye, during the Battle of Nanjing, you destroyed three Japanese warships.
Among them was a Japanese battleship.
This time, the Japanese aircraft carrier was sunk again to the east of the Oujiang River estuary.
This is simply amazing.
General Ye is clearly in charge of the Army Command, but I feel like he is doing the work of both the Air Force and the Navy."
There are students who admire Ye Qingshan and are very clear about Ye Qingshan’s battle record.
"So, I think General Ye will not only be known as the 'Iron-Blooded General' in the future.
Another title must be added: 'The Nemesis of the Japanese Navy'.
Even without using warships, General Ye was able to sink the Japanese aircraft carriers and battleships.
This happens all over the world.
I only saw that General Ye could do it."
"Haha, this is a good title."
When Chen Cheng learned the news at the garrison headquarters, he showed joy despite his fatigue.
"Well, Ye Qingshan did a great job.
He actually succeeded.”
Chen Cheng was one of the few people who guessed before the war that Ye Qingshan was going to attack the Japanese aircraft carrier fleet.
Chen Cheng thought about Ye Qingshan’s sneak attack plan.
There is a chance of success.
However, Chen Cheng never expected that Ye Qingshan would be so successful.
Not only did it sink the Japanese aircraft carrier Ryujo, but it also destroyed their entire aircraft carrier fleet.
Although the Japanese aircraft carrier fleet is relatively small.
The Longxiang aircraft carrier is just a light aircraft carrier with a displacement of 10,000 tons.
Even so, Ye Qingshan's achievement once again set a new record of leading the national army to destroy the Japanese warships.
And the previous records also belonged to Ye Qingshan.
It was the battle of the Yangtze River where the Japanese battleship Kirishima was sunk.
This time, there was one more Japanese aircraft carrier.
“The commander-in-chief is wise.
At first I thought that Commander Ye’s sneak attack on the Japanese fleet was unlikely to succeed.
Commander Ye is still the same as he was in Nanjing.
It always creates unexpected miracles.”
The adjutant Chen Junlan standing by was also convinced at this time.
“Ye Qingshan’s victory in this battle will also help us.
With Ye Qingshan’s aviation team in southern Zhejiang.
It is like driving a nail into the back of the Japanese.
The Japanese air force on the front line probably won’t be able to sleep.
Since Ye Qingshan dared to launch a surprise attack on the Japanese aircraft carrier fleet.
Who can guarantee that he will not dare to launch a surprise attack on the Japanese front-line airport again?
In this way, the Japanese air force will no longer dare to bomb our front-line troops recklessly. "
Chen Cheng said with a smile.
He himself was the beneficiary of Ye Qingshan's victory in this battle.
“Yes, Commander Ye really helped us a lot.
Since the last time, Commander Ye led his troops to destroy Lin'an Airport and severely damaged Xiaoshan Airport.
The Japanese bombing was weakened for more than half a month.
The advance speed of the Japanese front-line troops was slowed down a lot.
Otherwise, the main force of the Japanese would have already reached Wuhan by now."
Adjutant Chen Junlan was also quite emotional.
The headquarters received this news yesterday afternoon.
It directly shocked the top command.
Then, the headquarters began to have a headache and discussed how to reward Ye Qingshan.
The reason why the headquarters was having a headache was that the rewards they could give to Ye Qingshan were really not much.
They are nothing more than various medals. Ye Qingshan is no longer interested in these things.
These honorary awards are all fake.
At least there should be some actual rewards.
Monetary rewards are definitely out of the question.
They simply can't come up with the money.
Even the pensions for the fallen soldiers were paid by Ye Qingshan himself.
Or, get promoted.
However, whether it is to increase Ye Qingshan's military salary or promote his position.
These are also things that the command does not want to see.
At this time, Ye Qingshan had an army of 30,000 men under his command, which was already a thorn in the side of the command.
Going further up, could Ye Qingshan be made the army group commander?
Ye Qingshan neither took up any other deputy position nor returned to the headquarters to serve.
This means that the reward for him needs to be carefully considered.

Ye Qingshan was too lazy to care about the difficulties at the headquarters.
Anyway, he has already celebrated the victory.
However, just two days later, the Japanese revenge came.
Originally, several Japanese air forces were supposed to go to the front line in Wuhan to support the battlefield.
But suddenly, they took off from airports in Suzhou, Shanghai and Hangzhou.
Flying to Wenzhou, Qingtian and other places in southern Zhejiang, which is the main area of activity for Ye Qingshan’s 86th Army.
The massive bombing began.
Whizzing!
Bombs were dropped one after another from the Japanese bombers in the sky.
The bombing continued on the village below, which was suspected to be an airport target.
These Japanese air forces even suspended their fire support to the main Japanese forces on the Wuhan front.
They all want to bomb Ye Qingshan.
It was obvious that they had received direct orders from their domestic base.
In fact, when the news that Ye Qingshan destroyed one of their aircraft carrier fleets was known to the Japanese emperor.
The emperor was so angry that he almost attacked someone with a knife.
The Japanese lost such a big man this time, so naturally they wanted to retaliate against Ye Qingshan and get back at him.
Otherwise, where would the Japanese put their faces?
Boom boom boom!
Ye Qingshan stayed in the air-raid shelter, watching the Japanese planes flying outside.
Listening to the explosions of the bombs they dropped, he said in a deep voice: "The Japs' revenge comes really quickly.
Fortunately, we were prepared.”
Ye Qingshan had long guessed the Japs' post-war revenge.
Therefore, before the war, Ye Qingshan sent people to evacuate the people.
A more covert camouflage was set up for the two airports.
Make sure that even if the Japanese bombing comes, it will not be able to destroy any of their important targets.
Do not cause too many casualties to the surrounding people.
Moreover, this time Ye Qingshan did not even order his aviation team to take off and fight.
The truth is, there were too many Japanese fighter planes coming in this wave.
There were thirty-seven Japanese fighter planes alone.
There were more than fifty bombers, which was too large in scale.
These devils started bombing the various Kuomintang troops along the way from Jinhua in the north.
And after the battle in which Ye Qingshan's fighter squadron sank the Japanese aircraft carrier.
Ye Qingshan only had twelve P40 fighter jets left.
It's impossible to defeat them, with so many Japanese fighter planes.
The best thing to do is to avoid war and preserve the aviation force's vitality.
"It seems that the Japanese still don't know the exact __cpLocation of our two airports."
Ye Qingshan watched the group of Japanese bombers flying over and bombing blindly.
The two airports under Ye Qingshan’s command were never bombed.
This made Ye Qingshan realize that the Japanese still didn't know the exact location of his two airports.
I can only guess at the approximate area.
So the Japanese focused their bombing on those areas where airports were suspected to exist.
"Commander, we have done a good job of keeping secrets.
However, I am worried that it is only a matter of time before the Japanese find our airport location."
Chief of Staff Xiao Shanling appeared beside Ye Qingshan and said worriedly.
"Well, it's inevitable."
Ye Qingshan nodded.
“The Japanese intelligence agents are still very powerful.
As long as we give them some time, they will definitely find the location of our two airports.
But that doesn't matter.
Even if the Japs came, they would blow up our airport.
Give our construction team two days and our people will be able to repair the airport.
As long as the Japanese ground forces don't attack.
We're fine at the airport.
If it’s destroyed, we’ll repair it. I think the Japanese can blow it up faster, or I can repair it faster.
Anyway, as long as the fighters in the hangar don't have any problems, it's fine."
Ye Qingshan said with a chuckle.
Later, as expected.
Ye Qingshan was really right.
The next day, the Japanese bombers accurately found the location of Ye Qingshan's Jinxi and Wanshan airports.
Then, it blew it up.
But the fighter jets that were pulled into the hangar in advance were all fine.
"Bomb it, it's just an airport runway.
Give us two nights and it can be fixed anytime.
Just ammunition and fuel, just don't let them get destroyed."
"Don't worry, Commander. The remaining bombs and fuel have been sent to the air-raid shelter.
The Japs can’t bomb them.”
The young martial artist answered with a smile.
"that's great."
The Japanese retaliatory bombing lasted for three full days.
Three days later, Ye Qingshan no longer saw the Japanese air force.
The Japanese air force returned to the Wuhan front line and provided bombing support to the hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops attacking Wuhan.
