167 The Devil's Attack Target
If the Japanese do not agree, the shipping companies in the United States will not transport their scrap steel and will just let it pile up on the dock.
Helplessly, the Japanese had no choice but to agree.
Soon, the Japanese top brass found out why the American shipping companies had collectively raised their prices.
It turned out that the son of the big boss behind these shipping companies was in the Jinling City shelter at this time.
I was almost killed by the aerial bombs dropped by their bombers on the front line.
This time, these American shipping companies have been so tough and collectively raised prices significantly.
It's revenge on them!
Moreover, someone from the family of the boss behind the shipping company has spoken.
If the Japanese continue to violate international conventions and drop bombs on shelters full of civilians.
If the rich young man was killed by the bomb,
By then, the Japanese won’t be able to ship back any of the steel they purchased from the United States.
When the high-ranking Japanese officials in the country learned the news, they broke out in a cold sweat.
They dare not think about it. If their domestic factories did not have the scrap steel purchased from the United States, wouldn’t they all shut down?
What a shitty fight.
"Baga, are those commanders on our front line all idiots?"
The Japanese emperor was also alarmed and very angry.
"Immediately send a telegram to Prince Higashikuni Yasuhiko and tell him,
They are not allowed to bomb the shelters in Jinling City again."
Not long after, the Japanese relative Akihiko Watanabe outside the city of Nanjing received a personal telegram from the Japanese emperor.
"Baga, an American boy, why don't you stay in America? You can stay in Shanghai.
How did you end up in Jinling?
These Americans dared to hinder the great cause of the empire. Sooner or later, we will settle accounts with you."
When the Japanese prince saw the telegram sent personally by their emperor, he was speechless.
The Japanese prince naturally knew about the bombing of the shelters in the city, but he didn't care.
He even felt that this was a normal thing.
Killing some Chinese civilians is nothing.
As a result, now, just because there are two Americans hiding inside, they have to be cautious.
This made the Japanese prince very disgusted with the Americans.
"Your Highness, we cannot fall out with the Americans at this time."
The Japanese chief of staff next to him also hurriedly tried to persuade him.
"Ok, I know."
"Tell my pilots and artillerymen not to bomb the shelters in the city.
But that’s all. As for the rest, we should continue to do what we should do.”
The devil prince immediately gave the order.
On Ye Qingshan's side, after inspecting the shelter, he comforted the people in the shelter.
Also left urgently.
Because Ye Qingshan received a report that the main force of the Ninth Division in the Japanese city suddenly launched a large-scale attack on the city.
It had broken through the two defense lines of the 51st Division in succession and pierced into the center of the city like a sharp sword.
Half an hour later, Ye Qingshan urgently returned to the temporary headquarters in the air-raid shelter.
"What's going on with the devils?"
After Ye Qingshan entered the operations room, he looked at the group of operations staff who were arguing fiercely inside and asked.
"Chief of Staff, I just received reports from the 51st and 87th Divisions.
The ones causing unusual movements in the city were the Japanese 9th Division, which had a regiment.
Along Minsheng Road and Shengli Road, the two routes are advanced simultaneously.
Even when faced with stubborn resistance from the 51st and 87th Divisions, they had no intention of retreating.
At the same time, the Japanese 114th Division and their 9th Brigade on the flank also split into a regiment and two battalions.
Disperse troops on the flanks to cover the advance of the Japanese 9th Division's regiment.
At this time, the entire east and north of the city were in chaos.
They are imitating the fighting style of our street fighting squads and have also formed small squads, and are engaging in fierce street fighting with the 51st and 87th Divisions.
Division Commander Wang Yaowu said that the Japanese attack this time was very swift and their determination was strong.
Even after suffering considerable casualties, there was still no intention of retreating.
According to the speculation of Division Commander Wang Yaowu, the Japanese attacked along Minsheng Road and Shengli Road.
The target is most likely our shelter in the city and our headquarters."
As a combat staff officer said, Ye Qingshan found the extension route of Minsheng Road and Shengli Road on the map and continued to search forward.
As expected, we discovered that Minsheng Road is the shortest route to Alice's shelter.
And Victory Road is ultimately the best route to the air-raid shelter where Ye Qingshan is at this time.
“The devils walking along Minsheng Road, are they heading for the shelter?
What are they doing in the shelter?
Just to kill those innocent people?
Even if the Japs were crazy, I don't think they would be this crazy now.
Therefore, the real target of the Japanese is definitely not the shelter.
The shelter was just along the way.
Therefore, their real target should be here."
Ye Qingshan pointed at the entrance of the underground tunnel hidden not far from the shelter and said in a decisive tone.
"Yes, this is it."
"The Japanese were heading for our ammunition depots and arsenals.
Damn it, someone leaked the location of our ammunition depot and arsenal tunnels."
Ye Qingshan's face turned ugly and he cursed loudly.
After Ye Qingshan seized power, he tried to prevent the ammunition depot in the city from being bombed by Japanese bombers.
Basically, all the ammunition was moved to the newly dug tunnel.
Later, as the tunnel became larger and larger, Ye Qingshan also moved Yan Lao's arsenal to the underground tunnel.
At this time, the largest entrance to the underground tunnel was near the shelter.
Easy to defend.
And now, the Japanese invaders taking Minsheng Road can just arrive here.
This is no coincidence.
Only their ammunition depots and arsenals were worth the Japanese's efforts.
The shelter was just a coincidence, being in the same direction.
"Notify Division Commander Wang Yaowu and tell him.
Try every possible means to slow down the enemy's advance.
Tell Sun Mingxu to send a regiment to guard the end of Minsheng Road for me.
We must not let the devils pass.
Also, notify Elder Yan and the others in the underground tunnel and have them relocate as soon as possible."
Ye Qingshan made arrangements quickly.
"Then Chief of Staff, the Japanese troops taking Victory Road should be heading for our headquarters."
A combat staff officer pointed at another Japanese attacking team and said.
"Ah."
Ye Qingshan nodded slightly: "These devils should be heading for the air-raid shelter.
However, they probably weren't heading for our headquarters.
Our headquarters was just moved here after the Japanese bombing.
Even if the Japanese spies hiding in the city found out that our headquarters had moved here.
It shouldn't be so fast to send out the intelligence location of our command center.
So, this is probably still a coincidence.
There should be something on this side of the air-raid shelter that can attract the Japanese.
what is it then? "
The next second, Ye Qingshan's eyes lit up and he blurted out, "It's food."
It turned out that after Ye Qingshan seized power, he forcibly confiscated food from many profiteers and traitors in the city who were preparing to surrender to the Japanese.
In order to find a place that was spacious enough to store the grain without having to worry about the Japanese bombing.
These grains will be the source of food for the national army defenders in the city and hundreds of thousands of civilians in the future.
Absolutely no carelessness is allowed.
In the end, Ye Qingshan chose the air-raid shelter here, which could not only withstand the Japanese bombing but was also spacious enough.
"Damn it, the devils are so powerful.
If he doesn't attack, it's fine, but once he does, he'll go straight for our vital points!"
