Chapter 144 Ye Qingshan’s New Position

144 Ye Qingshan’s New Position

“These beasts.”

Zhou Xinghai also cursed after seeing the photos of the Japanese devils massacring civilians.

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away."

Zhou Xinghai left with the photos.

"Brother Ye, I need to go to the hospital."

Han Qiaoqian came to say goodbye to Ye Qingshan.

"Ah."

Ye Qingshan is also a straight man and doesn’t know what to say at this time.

After a moment, Ye Qingshan took out a small Browning pistol, handed it to Han Qiaoqian and said, "I give it to you for self-defense."

"Thank you, Brother Ye."

Han Qiaoqian took the Browning pistol, looked at it again and again, and liked it very much.

This Browning pistol was what Ye Qingshan asked for from Zhou Xinghai last night.

Ye Qingshan only had the Japanese's turtle box in his hand, and that gun was not suitable for Han Qiaoqian.

After seeing Han Qiaoqian off, Ye Qingshan returned to his room.

Take out the suitcase, carefully remove the mechanism and open it.

He took out a few more sheets of paper and read them carefully.

Then, Ye Qingshan wrote and drew on his notebook, occasionally stopping to think.

He was planning the next battle plan.

It was not until noon that Ye Qingshan received the news that the principal had already left Jinling by plane.

At the same time, the reorganization of Zhou Pingkou and Sun Mingxu's troops has also been completed.

"Old Sun was directly promoted to deputy commander of the 64th Division and commander of the 135th Mixed Brigade, which is considered a promotion.

Tang Shengzhi then sent a regiment to Lao Sun's brigade.

Now, in Lao Sun's brigade, our people and Tang Shengzhi's people almost each account for half.

The headquarters asked Lao Sun to find a way to replenish the remaining troops himself.

It's nothing more than recruiting people from the defeated soldiers in the city, or recruiting able-bodied men from the city.

Fortunately, although the 36th Guard Brigade became the mixed 135th Brigade, Lao Sun still had the final say.

Lao Sun’s military power was not stripped away, and the rocket artillery battalion remained in his hands.

This is all thanks to Deputy Commander Xiao.

In addition, Lao Zhou was transferred from the 64th Military Police Regiment. More than a thousand veterans under his command, together with a battalion transferred by Tang Shengzhi, were reorganized into a regiment under the th Division.

After the reorganization was completed, all the ammunition supplies were replenished, and this time Tang Shengzhi did not delay.

All have been distributed.”

Zhou Xinghai came back at noon and reported to Ye Qingshan.

"Ah."

Ye Qingshan nodded after hearing this.

“Also, I told Lao Sun and Lao Zhou what you told me.

They both didn't quite understand what you were going to do.

But for now, I will agree to do as you say.”

“As for the newspaper company, it has already started printing newspapers.

In the afternoon, newspapers will be delivered free of charge to the people in the city."

A few hours later, a large number of newspapers printed by Jinling Daily were distributed free of charge to the people in the city.

Soon, these newspapers caused an uproar among the people in the city.

First, the people saw the printed photos taken by Ye Qingshan of the battlefield where the 117th Regiment of the Japanese invaders was completely annihilated.

And the photos of the captured Japanese regiment flag, everyone applauded.

Some people also told us how precious the Japanese regiment flag was.

Even this news alarmed Tang Shengzhi.

Tang Shengzhi sent someone to ask Zhou Pingkou and others why they had seized the Japanese army's flag but did not hand it over earlier.

Zhou Pingkou was also speechless.

He had no idea about this. The regiment flag was seized by Ye Qingshan, so how could he know about it?

If Ye Qingshan had not returned secretly at this time,

No one will still know about this.

Besides, even if he knew, Zhou Pingkou would not hand over the Japanese regiment flag.

Then, Zhou Pingkou used the captured Japanese flag, which had been lost in Ye Qingshan's hands.

Tang Shengzhi's men were sent away on the pretext that they only brought back photos.

At the same time, the news in the newspapers that the Japanese were wantonly slaughtering civilians outside the city did cause quite a stir in the city.

Countless people saw the photos of the Japanese brutally killing the villagers of Linjiazhuang.

They were completely shaken.

They didn't dare to gamble. Who would dare to gamble with the lives of their entire family on the Japanese's mercy?

There is still such a group of devils with a history of massacres.

So, that afternoon, many people began to evacuate Jinling City with their families.

However, the people soon discovered.

They can't leave now even if they want to.

At this time, the city of Jinling was completely surrounded by the Japanese.

Outside the city, except for the positions of the National Army's elite troops such as the Teaching Corps and the 88th Division, which had not yet been captured by the Japanese.

Almost all other defensive positions were lost.

The Japs are about to break into the city.

At this time, Jinling City had only the waterway at the Yangtze River ferry in the north.

All other land routes have been blocked by the Japanese.

It was completely impossible for the people to leave by land.

But all the ferries on the northern Yangtze River waterway have now been requisitioned by the National Army.

It travels back and forth between the two sides of the Yangtze River every day, transporting large amounts of military supplies, weapons and ammunition.

After all, the daily consumption of ammunition and supplies by the hundreds of thousands of national troops in the city is also huge.

It is impossible to free up boats to evacuate these people.

"Alas, it's a step too late after all."

Ye Qingshan sighed after hearing the news.

"Since retreat is impossible, there is only one solution left."

After a moment, Ye Qingshan realized that since the people in the city could not evacuate.

The only option was to organize them and send the elderly, children, women and children to the resettlement area for foreigners.

Other young and strong men organized themselves to resist the Japanese.

This is much better than waiting for the Japanese to enter the city and leaving these people as lambs to be slaughtered.

This is not something that can be done by one person alone.

"I thought I could survive for two days, but I still have to go meet that old man Tang Shengzhi."

On the 8th, the news that Ye Qingshan returned alive once again caused a stir in the city.

"What? Ye Qingshan is not dead?"

Tang Shengzhi was also shocked when he heard the news.

On the morning of the 8th, Ye Qingshan met Tang Shengzhi at the headquarters.

When the two met, the atmosphere was a little strange.

According to Tang Shengzhi's plan, it would be impossible for him to return the military power to Ye Qingshan.

However, this matter is not easy to handle.

After all, Ye Qingshan has made such great contributions and is so famous now.

If Tang Shengzhi directly deprived Ye Qingshan of his military power and the news spread, many people within the National Army would oppose him.

Just when Tang Shengzhi was having a headache about how to persuade Ye Qingshan to give up his military power.

Unexpectedly, Ye Qingshan took the initiative to express his opinion: "Commander Tang, after the battle of Caojiaying, I was injured and have not yet recovered.

Not suitable for leading troops at the moment.

Therefore, I applied to take on the task of organizing the people in the city and gathering the defeated soldiers."

Tang Shengzhi didn't expect that Ye Qingshan could be so "sensible".

He was instantly happy, laughed and said, "Haha, where is Qingshan?

Since you are injured, you should take good care of yourself first and we can talk about leading the troops later.

What you said is easy. I will issue an order later to appoint you as the director of the Public Organization Department of the City Defense Command.

I am responsible for the resettlement of the people in the city. Come to me if you need anything.

Besides, I saw that the principal posthumously awarded you the rank of major general.

Now there is no need to confer it posthumously, just confer it directly.”

Tang Shengzhi readily agreed to Ye Qingshan's request.

In return, Tang Shengzhi acknowledged Ye Qingshan's promotion to the rank of major general.

"Thank you, Commander Tang."

Ye Qingshan saluted and changed his shoulder straps to major general.

Looking at Tang Shengzhi's hypocritical smile, Ye Qingshan couldn't help but sneer: "Old man, do you really think you can deprive me of my military power like this?

You old guy, you are still too young!

Besides, I'm in the city this time, and you still want to escape in the middle of the battle? You're dreaming.

Soon you won’t be able to laugh anymore.”
