Chapter 270 Supplies Delivery
270 Supplies delivered
At the Japanese headquarters outside the city, the Japanese here are all very happy today.
There was no such thing as two days ago. Ye Qingshan ordered the national army in the city to counterattack, and they were forced to withdraw from the city.
And the angry and frustrated expressions on their faces when they heard that the Japanese Sixth Mixed Brigade had been completely wiped out.
It’s just because the first batch of supplies and ammunition sent from their country will arrive today.
“Safety on the Nanjing-Shanghai railway line must be ensured.
A guard post should be set up every three kilometers.
There must be no problems with this batch of supplies."
The old Japanese soldier Matsui Iwane was on the phone, giving a stern warning to the Japanese officer in charge of logistics and escorting of this batch of supplies.
“Also, I remember that Chinese General Ye Qingshan had a very elite force.
And they are very good at infiltration operations behind enemy lines.
You must guard against any possible loopholes in our defense.
We must not give the Chinese an opportunity to take advantage of us.”
Having learned from the last time when Ye Qingshan led the special operations battalion to go behind enemy lines and ambush the Japanese prince's special train, he captured the Japanese prince and a group of Japanese generals alive.
The special operations battalion under Ye Qingshan also fell into the eyes of the old Japanese soldier Matsui Iwane.
This time, the old devil will not give Ye Qingshan any chance to launch a sneak attack behind enemy lines.
As for Ye Qingshan, he had actually thought about it.
The special operations battalion was sent again by water to go around the Ning-Shanghai railway line outside Nanjing and ambush the Japanese military train carrying ammunition and supplies.
But in the end, Ye Qingshan gave up.
He felt that the cunning old devil Matsui Iwane would not be tripped by the same stone twice.
The success rate of this sneak attack is not high.
On the contrary, once the special operations battalion is sent out, there is a high possibility that they will not come back.
At this time, Ye Qingshan came to the Xiaguan Ferry again, watching several large ships arrive upstream and unload large boxes from them.
Inside were the last batch of 15,000 old water-jet rifles he bought from the Russians.
"Adjutant Chen, why are you here too?"
Along with this batch of guns came Chen Cheng's adjutant Chen Junlan.
"You are not here to supervise the battle."
Ye Qingshan said jokingly.
"Chief of Staff Ye, don't joke.
I was also ordered to carry out this escort mission.
This time, many people are targeting your 15,000 water beads.
You have to know that at that time, hundreds of thousands of national troops were in Xuzhou, facing the Japanese army of more than 200,000.
If a fighting really breaks out in Xuzhou, the scale will be even bigger than yours.
Therefore, at this time, the commanders of various domestic troops were already extremely eager for weapons.
Even if it is this old water beads, they are willing to take it.
It's better than sending new recruits to the battlefield with fire pokers.
But Commander Chen knows that you are probably about to have a decisive battle with the Japanese.
Therefore, no one is allowed to interfere with this batch of arms, so I was sent to escort it personally.
Fortunately, I lived up to Commander Chen's high expectations.
These guns have been safely delivered to you.
Chief of Staff Ye, please send someone to count and receive them.
So I can go back and report back."
Adjutant Chen said with a smile.
"Haha, Adjutant Chen, you've worked hard.
Go back and thank Commander Chen for me.
Tell him that if I survive this battle.
Be sure to prepare a generous gift to thank him."
Ye Qingshan was indeed very grateful in his heart for Chen Cheng's actions this time.
Because, most of what Adjutant Chen said just now are true.
At this time, the domestic battlefield was not limited to Nanjing. Whether it was Xuzhou or not, there were hundreds of thousands of troops gathered there.
Whether in North China or Taiyuan, there are many Japanese invading armies attacking.
These old water beads have become popular in the country.
"Chief of Staff Ye, Commander Chen wants to ask you a question.
How confident are you of winning this battle? "
Adjutant Chen looked at Ye Qingshan and asked with a serious expression.
Ye Qingshan hesitated for a moment and stretched out his hand: "Fifty percent!"
Ye Qingshan's answer surprised Adjutant Chen.
It’s actually 50%.
This is higher than what Chen Cheng and he predicted.
Before, they thought that if the National Army in Nanjing City really faced a general attack launched by the Japanese outside the city who had completed their supply operations.
The final chance of winning will not exceed 30%.
If we break out, at most one-fifth of the troops can break out.
"Chief of Staff Ye, I wish you a great victory over the Japanese invaders in this battle.
It can bring good news to the people of the whole country.
If you really win, it will be a huge boost to our military’s morale.”
"Hey!"
Adjutant Chen sighed and said, "General Ye, since July last year, when we officially went to war with the Japanese.
We didn't win a single major battle.
Especially the failure of the Battle of Shanghai made countless people lose confidence.
It makes countless people pessimistic, and we urgently need a big win.”
Adjutant Chen went back quickly.
Ye Qingshan felt that the burden on his shoulders was very heavy. It turned out that so many people in the rear were paying attention to this battle.
"Let's go directly to the recruit training ground."
After receiving the 15,000 water beads, Ye Qingshan asked the driver to drive directly to the recruit training ground.
At this time, Sun Mingxu and chief instructor Zhang Fa were at the training ground.
The 209 remaining recruits were reorganized into the th Division and the nd Militia Division.
Sun Mingxu was the commander of the 209th Division, and the chief instructor Zhang Fa was the commander of the nd Militia Division.
"Commander Ye, have our weapons arrived?"
When Sun Mingxu saw Ye Qingshan coming in person with such a convoy, he happily came to greet him.
"Yes, fifteen thousand water beads.
The things I promised are now in the car behind.
You let the soldiers move it."
Ye Qingshan said with a smile.
"Yes!"
Sun Mingxu was extremely excited after hearing this.
These two days, he was busy reorganizing his 209th Division, which made him very worried.
Most of the problems with the soldiers were solved by Ye Qingshan.
The newly formed 209th Division was based on Sun Mingxu's previous brigade, and Ye Qingshan added another new recruits to them.
It's formed.
The Second Militia Division of Zhangfa was formed with the veterans that Ye Qingshan had transferred from various divisions as the backbone.
They have fewer veterans and their combat effectiveness is weaker.
None of this is a problem.
The problem is that most of their 20,000 new recruits have no weapons.
Now, with the arrival of these 15,000 water-fired rifles, each of these new recruits can have a gun.
In this way, even if they were dragged onto the battlefield, they would be able to fight the Japanese well.
"Line up and get your guns."
Groups of new recruits lined up excitedly to receive their guns.
At the same time, at the Ning-Shanghai Railway Station outside the city, the first train carrying supplies and ammunition finally arrived.
A Japanese major general personally led his men to the station to greet them. The surrounding mountains and plains were filled with alert Japanese soldiers.
Wow!
After two Japanese soldiers opened the door of the Japanese train carriage.
They saw boxes of artillery shells, Type 99 light machine guns, and various weapons and ammunition piled up in the train carriages.
"吆西."
The Japanese major general immediately showed a satisfied smile.
"Carry the ammunition!"
