307 The Strategy of Attacking the Heart
In Jinling City, Ye Qingshan received the good news from Sun Mingxu after dawn.
"Did Sun Mingxu, Zhang Fa and his team annihilate the cavalry regiment of the Japanese Sixth Division?
That’s good news.”
Ye Qingshan was also very surprised after hearing Ning Yongchen's report.
He was worried about the 209th Division all night.
“Give them a reward by generating electricity.
Tell them to be careful.
Even without the Japanese cavalry regiment, their next actions will be full of difficulties.
Since ancient times, a lone soldier going deep behind enemy lines has always been a mission where one is likely to die.”
Boom boom boom!
At this time, Ye Qingshan heard a huge explosion coming from Zijin Mountain in the east of the city.
He walked to the entrance of the command office with a serious expression, looked towards the direction of Purple Mountain in the east, and continued to say to Ning Yongchen: "Listen.
The Japanese heavy artillery began to bombard Purple Mountain again.
The old Japanese soldier Matsui Iwane's determination to seize Purple Mountain remains unwavering.
Judging from the telegram Song Xilian sent back yesterday.
The old Japanese soldier Matsui Iwane changed his offensive tactics again and gave up the tactic of letting the Japanese infantry charge in groups.
Instead, they adopted the tactics of gradual erosion and targeted artillery strikes.
To deal with our defenders on Purple Mountain.
The disadvantage of this tactic is that it is too slow.
The advantage is that it can reduce the Japanese losses and give full play to their artillery advantage.
The old devil Matsui Iwane also saw it.
It would be impossible for them to capture Purple Mountain quickly.
So, this old devil is ready to fight a war of attrition with us.
This is actually what we fear the most.
If we really let the Japanese in, we will use artillery fire to target specific areas and destroy one position after another.
Purple Mountain will fall sooner or later.
The only way to break the tactics of the Japanese soldier Matsui Iwane is to disrupt his supply lines.
The Japanese artillery could not get enough ammunition.
Their style of play will be ineffective.
Now, whether or not we can cut off the enemy's supply lines depends on Sun Mingxu and Zhang Fa and the others."
Ye Qingshan is also under great pressure.
He had to constantly confront the cunning old devil Matsui Iwane on the strategic level.
At this time, Ye Qingshan and the old devil Matsui Iwane were the players in the big game of the Battle of Nanjing.
Both sides were playing cautiously and responding to each other's moves.
It all depends on who kills the other dragon first!
"By the way, has the Xiaguan Pier been repaired?"
Ye Qingshan thought of the Xiaguan ferry which was attacked by the Japanese last night, and he was still very angry.
But there's nothing we can do, it's already happened.
He could only try his best to save it.
"Commander Zhou has already led his men over.
In addition, two militia divisions in the city also rushed over.
After a day and a night of emergency repairs.
At present, most of the Xiaguan Ferry Terminal has been repaired.
It can be put into use today.
However, after the emergency repairs, the dock is definitely not as good as before.
The amount of cargo unloaded every day may be reduced by one-third.”
Ye Qingshan sighed.
He had just sent the 209th Division to bypass the enemy and attack the Japanese railway line, cutting off the Japanese supply.
Unexpectedly, there were also problems with my own logistical supplies.
But it's still there. Last night, the Japanese sneak attack destroyed only the Xiaguan ferry terminal.
The most important ship survived.
The dock can be repaired urgently, but if the ship is bombed, the supply of the Nanjing defenders will be completely cut off.
"Most of the Japanese flying regiment have been annihilated by our anti-aircraft artillery battalion.
Now, the Japs are no longer able to bomb our ferry.
Tell Zhou Pingkou to let the ferry fleet go starting today.
It would take half a day to cross the river to transport supplies, so there was no need to worry about the Japanese bombing.
Since the daily unloading volume at the dock has decreased, the time for delivering materials will be extended.”
Ye Qingshan said with a cold face.
In short, the supply line on the river cannot be stopped.
Now, it is the time for them to fight a decisive battle with the devils.
The supply line on the Yangtze River is their lifeline.
Whether it is medicine, food, gauze, or materials for making bullets and rockets, they all need to be transported from the river.
War is actually a battle of logistical supplies.
Otherwise, Ye Qingshan would not have gone to such great lengths to send troops to attack the Japanese railway supply lines.
The Japanese also kept a close eye on the National Army's supply lines on the Yangtze River.
If you fail once, you will fail again in a few days.

Just when Ye Qingshan was happy that the 209th Division had annihilated the Japanese cavalry regiment.
At this time, at Zhenjiang Railway Station, the 18th Brigade of the Ninth Division of the Japanese army, with more than people in the brigade, had just got off the train.
Major General Iide Nobutoki, commander of the Japanese 18th Brigade, was still waiting for Yamaguchi Maki's cavalry regiment.
Send them information about the location of the 209th Division.
They could rush over and encircle and suppress the 209th Division.
However, after all the soldiers of the 18th Brigade got off the train, they were unable to contact Yamaguchi Maki's cavalry regiment.
"Baga, what the hell is this guy Yamaguchi Maki doing?!"
The Japanese brigade commander was very angry.
However, the Japanese brigade commander soon found out the reason why they could not contact Yamaguchi Maki's cavalry regiment.
"My Lord, this is bad.
"Is there something wrong with Colonel Yamaguchi's cavalry regiment?"
A Japanese major staff officer came hurriedly and reported to the Japanese brigade commander.
"Nani?"
The Japanese brigade commander was also surprised after hearing this.
After a while, the twenty or so Japanese cavalrymen who had escaped in the ambush came to the front of Brigade Commander Ide Nobutoki in a panic.
He cried to the Japanese brigade commander and told him what happened when they were ambushed last night.
"General, we have been ambushed by the Chinese.
There are traps everywhere and explosions everywhere.
The Chinese have too much firepower, and their machine guns are too numerous to count..."
The Japanese cavalrymen who escaped back told the Japanese brigade commander and others about how they were ambushed last night.
"enough!
Stop talking. "
Finally, the Japanese brigade commander looked extremely ugly and shouted loudly.
Don't let these Japanese cavalrymen continue talking.
They are simply boosting the enemy's morale and destroying their own prestige.
The 209th Division is described as being like heavenly soldiers and generals.
The Japanese officers from the 18th Brigade who were listening nearby all had strange expressions on their faces and became fearful.
This is shaking the morale of the army.
After seeing this, the Japanese brigade commander decided not to let these Japanese cavalrymen continue talking like this.
This small group of Japanese cavalry who escaped back said they had escaped back.
In fact, it would be better to say that Zhang Fa deliberately let him go in the end.
The purpose of the plan was to take advantage of this small group of escapees to tell the 18th Brigade of the Japanese army in person the process of their annihilation.
Using the words of these cavalrymen who escaped from the Japanese army, they publicized the strength of the 209th Division.
To intimidate the Japanese 18th Division.
This made the Japanese brigade commander become cautious when fighting against them.
This is Zhang Fa's strategy of winning over people's hearts.
When fighting behind enemy lines, only by demonstrating greater strength can you achieve unexpected results.
Even if you are pretending, you have to pretend to be powerful.
Once you show weakness, the enemies around you will pounce on you like mad dogs.
