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

Chapter 434: Is the Master a Cover? Coming for Me

434 cover? Coming for me

"But will the High Command agree?"

Now that he has figured it out, Ye Qingshan doesn't mind temporarily taking over the position of commander-in-chief of the theater.

However, Ye Qingshan felt that the headquarters might not agree.

"The High Command has agreed."

As he spoke, Gu Zhutong took a letter of appointment from the adjutant behind him.

Officially appointed Ye Qingshan as the commander-in-chief of the Third War Zone.

Ye Qingshan took it and looked, it was true.

This time, Ye Qingshan couldn’t be dealt with anymore.

When did the people in the headquarters change their nature and become so nice to him?

Gu Zhutong also saw Ye Qingshan's doubts, but did not explain.

Originally, Gu Zhutong suggested that Ye Qingshan temporarily take over as the commander-in-chief of the Third War Zone.

The headquarters has not responded yet.

That's basically a rejection.

However, the turning point happened in these two days.

When the five Japanese divisions in northern Jiangxi began a massive attack on the city of Nanchang, the Japanese in Guangzhou headed north with the intention of invading southern Hunan.

The situation on the southern battlefield instantly became tense again.

In this situation, the headquarters also knew that they had to concentrate on dealing with the Japanese armies from the north and south in Hunan and Jiangxi.

We really can't help the Third War Zone in southern Zhejiang and Fujian Province.

We can only rely on the Third War Zone to save ourselves.

This way, the situation is completely different.

On the third war zone side, don’t think that Ye Qingshan only has one army at the moment.

But in the National Army Command, it was generally recognized that Ye Qingshan's army was at least comparable to an army of 100,000 people.

Gu Zhutong's Tenth Army was betrayed by a traitor this time and its strength was greatly reduced.

In this way, Ye Qingshan's 86th Army became the strongest force in the Third War Zone.

Ye Qingshan is currently the most suitable person to clean up this mess in southern Zhejiang.

In this case, if you want Ye Qingshan to be more proactive in combat, it would be appropriate to make him the commander-in-chief.

So, a few hours ago, Gu Zhutong finally received an order from the Supreme Command, agreeing to let Ye Qingshan temporarily serve as the commander-in-chief of the Third War Zone.

Gu Zhutong was waiting for this order.

Now that he has received the order, it is time for him to withdraw.

"Commander Ye, the front line is left to you.

I asked my adjutant to stay and report to you the latest situation of various units on the front line.

Next, you will take over the front-line command.

Alas, this mess can only be left to you to deal with.

My 76th Division is also in your hands."

Gu Zhutong grabbed Ye Qingshan's hand and said sincerely.

Ye Qingshan also understood what Gu Zhutong meant, which was that he still wanted him to save the 76th Division.

In fact, even if Gu Zhutong didn’t say it, Ye Qingshan had wanted to save the 76th Division before.

Now, we need to save them even more.

After all, the 76th Division behind him was Ye Qingshan's subordinates. At least in name, Ye Qingshan could command and mobilize them to fight the Japanese.

If he doesn't rescue him, wouldn't it be his own strength that would be lost?

“Don’t worry, Chief Gu, I promise.

The 76th Division will be fine."

"Good good!"

After hearing Ye Qingshan's promise, Gu Zhutong finally felt relieved.

"I have also sent the order appointing you as acting commander-in-chief to the officers at the frontline at the regimental level and above.

Later, after you get in touch with them.

Then we can directly issue combat orders to them."

After Gu Zhutong finished explaining all these things, he could no longer hold on and returned to the car.

Leave soon.

"Commander, that's not right. From now on, we should call you the Commander-in-Chief."

The young martial artist had been standing next to Ye Qingshan just now, and now he was looking at Ye Qingshan and became excited.

"Whatever, just a temporary replacement.

Let’s go back and see the Chief of Staff.

Let's discuss the next battle plan again."

Now, Ye Qingshan's position has changed.

Since he has temporarily taken over as commander-in-chief of the Third War Zone, he can command all the troops on the southern Zhejiang front.

The situation is completely different from before.

Ye Qingshan also needs to revise the battle plan.

"What? Commander Gu asked you to temporarily take over the position of commander-in-chief of the Third War Zone?"

After returning to the city, Ye Qingshan told Xiao Shanling the news.

Xiao Shanling was also shocked, his eyes widened like bells.

After a while, Xiao Shanling came to his senses.

“Commander Gu’s move is quite brilliant.

It’s an open conspiracy!

Now, General, you have no choice but to clean up the mess on the front line in southern Zhejiang.

Commander Gu is worried, Commander, are you not working hard?"

Xiao Shanling immediately understood Gu Zhutong's intention and also laughed.

"Not entirely."

How could Ye Qingshan not understand what Gu Zhutong meant?

He had a selfish motive, which was to want Ye Qingshan to protect his own 76th Division.

By the way, they will solve the mess of their collapsed defense line and defend southern Zhejiang.

Otherwise, if southern Zhejiang was lost, he, as the commander-in-chief, would be held heavily responsible.

However, Ye Qingshan didn't mind this.

Since they have given me such a great benefit, isn't it my duty to do something for them?

Besides, protecting southern Zhejiang was Ye Qingshan’s original goal.

Even if Gu Zhutong did not recommend him to be the commander-in-chief, he would fight alone to stop the Japanese and protect southern Zhejiang.

Now it’s good, the Japanese still have to fight.

He also got the position of theater commander-in-chief for free, it was like pie in the sky.

The next morning, Zhang Fa led the main force of the 209th Division northward to rescue the 76th Division.

Ye Qingshan did not follow.

With Ye Qingshan's current status, he needs to stay in the rear and coordinate the overall situation.

Ye Qingshan now has to command not only his own 86th Army, but also other national army units.

"Captain Wang, you must immediately mobilize the people to transport all the military supplies in the city."

Behind Ye Qingshan followed a group of national army generals.

Ye Qingshan named one of them and said.

In Ye Qingshan's opinion, there is no need to continue to hold on to the river valley defense line built by Gu Zhutong.

Therefore, Ye Qingshan discussed with Chief of Staff Xiao Shanling.

It was decided that after rescuing the 76th Division, the other Nationalist troops would also retreat.

Don't worry about the gains and losses of a city or a place.

In such a vast area from southern Zhejiang to Fujian Province, what is most abundant is mountains and hills.

Ye Qingshan has enough strategic depth and time to slowly consume the Japanese.

It would be disadvantageous for them to continue fighting the Japanese here.

But before the front-line troops withdrew, Ye Qingshan had to transport the military supplies stored in Jinhua City first.

This is the wealth that Gu Zhutong has accumulated for a long time.

Including a large number of military uniforms, ammunition, medicines, gasoline and other important supplies.

These supplies are very important for the subsequent protracted battle with the Japanese.

“But, Commander-in-Chief.

We dare not transport these military supplies during the day because there will be Japanese reconnaissance planes in the sky.

In case we are discovered by Japanese reconnaissance planes, they will attract Japanese bombers to bomb us.

That would be the end of it.”

Captain Wang said helplessly.

They also wanted to transport the military supplies stored in the city.

“It’s okay, I’ll take care of the matter in heaven.

I promise that no Japanese bombers will appear above your heads.

You just need to carry out the transportation mission."

Ye Qingshan said calmly.

The arrival of a new batch of P40 fighter jets not only made Ye Qingshan's fighter squadron fully staffed, but the number was even greater than before.

In addition, the Bailongshan radar station accurately monitored the Japanese fighter planes.

As long as the Japanese had a group of aircraft flying over from the Suzhou and Hangzhou airports in the north, they would be discovered immediately.

Meng Jifei's fighter squadron can intercept.

Therefore, Ye Qingshan is not worried about the Japanese bombing now.

"There's another group of Japanese soldiers in the north of the city..."

Captain Wang continued.

Previously, the Japanese 234th Regiment attacked the city but was repelled.

However, this Japanese regiment did not retreat completely and they were still active in the surrounding areas.

"You don't have to worry about that. I will send troops to tie up this Japanese regiment.

I said, your group has only one mission.

Mobilize the people in the city to transport all the military supplies in the city to Quzhou."

Ye Qingshan wanted to reduce the difficulty of transporting materials.

In the end, there was no choice but to transport the supplies in the city to Lishui, but instead decided to transport them to Quzhou.

“Yes, don’t worry, Commander-in-Chief.

Our group will definitely complete the mission.”

Wang Anshan responded loudly.

"Ah."

On the morning of the 209th, the main force of the th Division led by Zhang Fa arrived near the Dachen River Valley.

At the same time, they launched a fierce attack on the 40th Regiment of the 235th Division of the Japanese enemy from two directions.

Boom boom boom!

Dongxi Village, more than 76 miles south of Huangyanwu, is the nearest route to the north to rescue the th Division.

It was previously guarded by a battalion of Japanese soldiers.

But today, facing the attacking 209th Division, they suffered heavy losses in a very short time.

"Captain, Ye Qingshan's troops are here.

We came under heavy artillery fire.

We request tactical guidance!"

In Dongxi Village, in the Japanese battalion headquarters, the Japanese captain was shouting loudly into the phone.

Half a day later, the Japanese reinforcements arrived.

The two sides fought fiercely for a whole day, but the 209th Division failed to break through the Japanese blocking position.

At the same time, Ye Qingshan also ordered the 76th Division to break out to the south with all their might.

Orders were also given to the national army units on other fronts to provide support to Huangyanwu.

Ye Qingshan believed that as long as Zhang Fa led the main force of the 209th Division to Huangyanwu, the Japanese would definitely mobilize Japanese troops in other directions to provide support.

Otherwise, the Japanese only had less than three regiments of troops stationed near Huangyanwu.

There is no problem trapping the 76th Division.

However, it is basically impossible to stop the rescue of the 209th Division.

This was indeed the case after the 209th Division joined the war.

Several Japanese troops that were originally entangled with the Japanese in other directions immediately moved towards Huangyanwu.

The two sides engaged in a fierce battle around Huangyanwu.

Hangzhou, the headquarters of the old devil Matsui Iwane.

In order to facilitate the command of front-line operations, the old devil moved his headquarters to Hangzhou.

"Commander, telegram from the 40th Division.

Ye Qingshan's troops joined the battle, just as we thought.

Ye Qingshan sent a main division to rescue the Chinese 40th Division that was besieged by the 76th Division in Huangyanwu. "

A Japanese colonel took the telegram and excitedly found the old Japanese soldier Matsui Iwane to report the news.

"Yo, Ye Qingshan finally fell into the trap.

It was worth keeping us busy for so long.

Then, let’s proceed to step two of the plan.

First, annihilate Ye Qingshan's main division in Huangyanwu and cut off one of his arms."

The old devil Matsui Iwane smiled sinisterly.

"Hi!"

The Japanese colonel nodded excitedly.
