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

Chapter 343 The outcome is decided

343 The Victory is Determined

"The bombing was a success!

Haha, that’s great! "

Ye Qingshan learned about the bombing this morning when he received a telegram from Luzhou Airport.

A complete success.

After the Japanese's logistics supply convoy had been completely destroyed, they almost cried for joy.

What Ye Qingshan was most worried about at this time was the delivery of the Japanese logistical supplies.

If that were the case, the Japanese divisions on the front line would regain a lot of their combat effectiveness.

At this time, the combat effectiveness of several Japanese divisions that were short of ammunition was obviously much lower than before.

This allowed Ye Qingshan to mobilize tens of thousands of people to surround the Japanese 13th Division in the north of the city.

The defenses within Jinling City have not collapsed yet.

If the Japanese ammunition were delivered, the Nationalist troops in Nanjing City would probably not be able to hold on.

By then, they will be defeated.

It was precisely because Ye Qingshan knew that the Japanese supply convoy was related to the success or failure of both sides in this battle.

That's why Ye Qingshan didn't hesitate to use double measures.

It must also be destroyed.

Even so, the Kuomintang's bomber group failed to successfully destroy the Japanese logistics convoy this morning.

Near the Lishui River in the northwest, Sun Mingxu and Zhang Fa's 209th Division had also moved there and were on standby.

We can attack the Japanese supply convoy at any time.

"In this battle, the odds of our victory are 30-70."

Ye Qingshan said with emotion.

From the very beginning, no one was optimistic that they could hold on to Nanjing for more than two months.

Ye Qingshan not only launched a counterattack against the Japanese.

Moreover, the probability of a successful counterattack at this time is as high as 70%.

How could Ye Qingshan not feel emotional!

"We still can't be careless. We must never relax until we win the final victory."

Ye Qingshan hinted to himself.

"Chief of Staff, Commander Xiao's telegram,

Immediately afterwards, Ye Qingshan received another telegram from Xiao Shanling in Jinling City.

"hehe.

The Japanese Third and Sixth Divisions in Jinling City began to retreat?

At this time, you thought of retreating?

Do you really think you can fight whenever you want and retreat whenever you want?

You have the final say on when the battle starts, but I have the final say on when it ends."

Ye Qingshan sneered.

"Tell Commander Xiao not to let the Japanese troops that have entered the city retreat easily.

The Japs' supplies can't be delivered.

Their counterattack in the city can now begin.

Just keep pestering him for me, don't be in a hurry.

Slowly consume the devils,

Now, time is on our side.”

Ye Qingshan gave the order.

"I don't believe it, until the Japs have used up all their ammunition.

The Type 38 rifles in their hands became firewood sticks.

I want to see how arrogant they are.”

After contacting Xiao Shanling, Ye Qingshan walked out of the command center.

Coming to the nearest hill, I looked at the battle to capture the Loess Mountain that was still going on ahead.

This battle has been going on for a day and a night.

Ye Qingshan's Second Militia Division, the Military Police Regiment, and Deng Longguang's 83rd Army never stopped attacking for a moment.

At this time, most of the positions of the Japanese 13th Division outside Huangtu Mountain had been lost.

The main force of the Japanese retreated to the main position of Huangtu Mountain.

"No, we lack an offensive force."

Ye Qingshan watched the assault teams of the Second Militia Division and the 83rd Army being beaten back again and again.

He said with a unhappy look on his face.

To be honest, neither the Second Militia Division nor the 83rd Army are elite troops.

Their offensive capabilities are far inferior to those of the National Army's ace divisions, the 88th Division and the 36th Division.

Not as good as Ye Qingshan’s 208th Division.

After a day-and-night attack, they suffered more than 2,000 casualties before they finally cleared the outer positions of Huangtu Mountain.

This was done with the help of the Kuomintang bombers.

Otherwise, this battle will be even more difficult.

The surrounded Japanese 13th Division was inferior to the National Army in terms of firepower.

At least the Japs no longer have the air support of the bomber groups.

But the Japanese 13th Division is still one of the most combat-effective Type A divisions of the Japanese.

The quality of the Japanese soldiers and their brainwashed spirit of not fearing death still gave them an advantage in the defensive battle.

"Tell Luzhou Airport that the bombing squadron should come to support us as soon as possible."

“Also, ask.

The battle at the special operations battalion hasn't ended yet?"

Ye Qingshan missed Black Bear’s special operations battalion.

He felt that the Japs' only remaining main position was the most vulnerable Huangtu Mountain.

It would be difficult to conquer the city with just the Second Militia Division and the 83rd Army under his command.

We still have to dispatch a few elite assault troops to settle the issue.

"Sir, the special operations battalion is near Qixia Mountain in the north.

Joined forces with the 88th Division to encircle and annihilate the Japanese 116th Regiment.

The battle is not over yet.

However, the special operations battalion called back and said they would be here this afternoon.

The 88th Division will also come along at that time."

Not long after, a Kuomintang staff officer came over and reported to Ye Qingshan.

"Ah."

Ye Qingshan nodded after hearing this.

Since Black Bear said so.

Even so, there was no detailed report on the battle in Qixia Mountain.

Ye Qingshan also knew that the Japanese 116th Regiment over there should be finished soon.

Otherwise, Black Bear wouldn’t have said that he could come this afternoon.

"Just wait, old devil Hagi Suzuki.

Wait for my special operations battalion and the 88th Division to arrive.

This is the end of your Thirteenth Division."

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the Kuomintang's bomber group arrived over Huangtu Mountain as scheduled.

Continue to bomb the Huangtu Mountain position held by the Japanese 13th Division.

The Japanese air force was still defeated by Johnson's International Flying Group and other national army fighter planes.

Blocked in the airspace south of the north of the city.

"Damn you, Chinese people.

Go to hell."

Colonel Fujiwara, the navigator, was roaring angrily in the cockpit.

There were two slap marks on his face.

When he returned to the airport, he was slapped twice by the commander of the Japanese Third Flying Regiment, Zhihe Zhongzhi.

It was just because Zhihe Zhongzhi had just returned from the Japanese headquarters.

There were also several slap marks on his face from the old devil Tsukada.

Tsukada Ko blamed the old Japanese for the incompetence of their air force.

They were unable to defeat the Kuomintang air force and were unable to regain air superiority on the battlefield.

This allowed the Kuomintang's bombers to attack with impunity.

Bombed their logistics supply convoy.

Chikata Tadaharu was at the headquarters, where he was beaten and humiliated.

After coming back, he vented his anger on Colonel Fujiwara.

After all, Colonel Fujiwara was the real battlefield commander of the Japanese Air Force at this time.

After all, Chiga Tadashi was in charge of the rear airport.

This guy and the Japanese pilots all fought even more frantically.

This also makes today's air battle particularly fierce.

Fighter planes from both sides were constantly shot down.

There were also Japanese fighter pilots who, with their excellent flying skills, broke through the blockade of the International Flying Group.

Rushed to the airspace north of the city.

An attack was launched on the Kuomintang bombers, resulting in two Kuomintang bombers being destroyed.

However, this did not scare the pilots of the Kuomintang bombers at all.

After completing the first wave of bombing, these Kuomintang bomber pilots returned to Luzhou Airport to reload and refuel.

Keep rushing back to bomb.

"Your Excellency, the Chinese bombing poses too great a threat to us.

Half of our casualties were killed by their aerial bombs.

The soldiers are almost exhausted.”

In the tunnel of Huangtu Mountain, a Japanese colonel rushed in and gave a miserable report to the old Japanese soldier Hagisu Rikibei.

“Baga, you have to hold on even if you can’t.

Our reinforcements will be here shortly."

The old Japanese soldier, Hagi Su Rippei, grabbed the Japanese colonel by the collar and yelled loudly.

At this time, the Japanese soldier Tsukada Ko did not dare to spread the news that their logistics supply convoy had been destroyed.

Tell Hagisu to set up a troop.

I am just worried that once the news reaches the 13th Division.

The Japanese soldiers of the 13th Division will immediately collapse in morale.

"Organize a death squad and carry out the suicide operation.

You must hold on until dark.

After dark, the Chinese bombing could not proceed."

The old Japanese soldier Hagisu Rippei roared with bloodshot eyes.

"Hi!"

The Japanese colonel had no choice but to agree honestly.

At 83: in the afternoon, the commander of the rd Army, Deng Longguang, rushed into Ye Qingshan's command post.

"Damn, these devils are all fucking crazy."

As soon as Commander Deng entered Ye Qingshan’s command post, he started cursing.

At this time, Ye Qingshan was holding a telescope and watching the battle on Loess Mountain from the lookout of the command center.

He knew why Commander Deng said that.

It was because, just now, two attacking teams of the National Army were about to attack Huangtu Mountain from the south.

As a result, a group of devils rushed out with explosives tied to their bodies.

He rushed directly to the front of the Kuomintang attacking team and detonated the explosive pack.

In an instant, most of the two Kuomintang troops that were about to attack suffered casualties.

The Kuomintang soldiers attacking from behind were also frightened after seeing such a tragic scene.

They all retreated.

Ye Qingshan turned his head and looked at Deng Longguang with a calm expression, and said, "General Deng, there is no need to be angry.

The more crazy the Japs acted.

It just means they have reached the end of their rope.”

“Chief of Staff Ye, you are very optimistic.

This fight has been going on for almost two days and one night.

We haven't taken over this Yellow Earth Mountain yet, and I'm worried that if we delay for too long, something unexpected will happen."

At this time, Commander Deng did not know that the Japanese logistics supply convoy had been blown up.

It's normal to have this worry.

Ye Qingshan smiled and told him: "Don't worry, the Japanese reinforcements can't come.

And, tonight.

We can end the fight.”

"Chief of Staff Ye, are you serious?

Don't be kidding! "

"of course."

Immediately, Ye Qingshan destroyed the Japanese logistics supply convoy.

It was already evening when Commander Deng was informed that the 88th Division and the Special Operations Battalion would arrive to provide support.

"Haha, the Japanese's ammunition supply was destroyed?

The 88th Division is coming soon?

I'll just say it.

Chief of Staff Ye, how can you be so calm?

Why didn't you tell me such good news earlier?

I was worried for nothing all this time."

Commander Deng blamed Ye Qingshan a little.

"So, tonight is the final offensive?"

Ye Qingshan nodded.

"In that case, let's withdraw the soldiers now.

Take a break and prepare for tonight's battle.

Otherwise, wouldn’t the 88th Division be the only one left to take the spotlight in tonight’s general attack?”

Commander Deng suggested.

"Okay."
