“Notify Captain Lu and Captain Zheng and ask them to leave.
Come to the division headquarters for a meeting immediately."
Zhou Pingkou said to the adjutant beside him.
Not long after, Lu Dahai and Zheng Quezi arrived at the division headquarters.
Zhou Pingkou looked at the two men and said, “Dahai, quietly withdraw your group tonight.
Retreat to the training ground in the city to replenish troops."
Lu Dahai was a little surprised: "Then what about our regiment's current defense line?"
“None of your business.
In two hours, a militia division will come to support and take over your regiment's defense line.
You just follow the orders."
Zhou Pingkou continued.
"Yes!"
Lu Dahai hadn't figured it out yet, so he had to respond.
On the contrary, Zheng Quezi who was standing next to him was more familiar with Zhou Pingkou, and he looked at Zhou Pingkou and asked, "Master.
Is the feast about to begin?"
Zhou Pingkou smiled and nodded: "Yeah."
"Damn it, the feast is finally about to begin.
I am getting impatient waiting."
Zheng Quezi cursed with a smile.
"and many more.
Master, Lao Zheng, what are you two talking about?
What's the feast about?
Can you explain it clearly? "
Seeing the two people playing charades, Lu Dahai became unhappy and shouted.
Zheng Quezi glanced at Lu Dahai and said, "You big fool.
It’s a pity that you have followed Commander Ye for such a long time.
Don’t you know what kind of personality Commander Ye has?
Is Commander Ye the one who suffers a loss?
After enduring for so many days, our two main regiments were suddenly transferred away.
Another militia division can be deployed to the front line.
This shows that Commander Ye still has some fresh troops in his hands and is ready to send them into battle now.
So tell me, why did Commander Ye play out his trump card at this time?
Of course it was a counterattack against the devils."
"Ah? Counterattack?"
After hearing this, Lu Dahai was also shocked.
Are we really going to counterattack?
“Great, the counterattack is long overdue.
Damn it, I've had enough of this endless tug-of-war with the devils in the city these days."
After a moment, Lu Dahai shouted excitedly.
"Okay, keep your voice down.
Only a few of us know about this.
After you go back, you must keep it secret.
Go back and prepare."
Zhou Pingkou warned the two.
"Yes!"
Lu Dahai and Zheng Quezi responded and went back to their own regiment excitedly to gather their men.
Lu Dahai's regiment is the most combat-effective one in the 208th Division, and he is indispensable for this mission.
Zheng Quezi's Third Regiment has been in the city for the past few days, serving as a reserve force.
It is the regiment with the least losses in the 208th Division so far.
It would be most appropriate to let their two regiments carry out Ye Qingshan's plan to block the eastward retreat route of the Japanese 13th Division.
As for Ye Qingshan, his plan is to wipe out the Japanese 13th Division.
Zhou Pingkou felt that it was too risky.
Zhou Pingkou always thought that in the battle of Nanjing, they could defeat these hundreds of thousands of Japanese devils and win the defense war.
It is enough to make you famous all over the world.
However, he didn't expect that Ye Qingshan's appetite was even bigger than his.
Not only do they want to defeat the Japanese army, but they also want to eliminate the Japanese 13th Division from among so many Japanese divisions.
If this kind of thing were to be told to others at this time, it would be known by outsiders.
They will definitely laugh at Ye Qingshan for overestimating his own abilities.
But Zhou Pingkou still chose to believe Ye Qingshan,
As the most loyal men under Ye Qingshan, they must stand firmly with Ye Qingshan at this time.
After knowing this, other Kuomintang commanders would probably think that this plan is too risky.
The probability of success is low, so you may not be willing to execute it.
But Zhou Pingkou won’t.
Moreover, others were forced to carry out the order under the command of the headquarters.
It is very likely that the will to execute is not firm.
In this battle, they were going to block the retreat route of the Japanese 13th Division.
By then, once the Japanese 13th Division discovered us, we would be surrounded.
It will definitely be a crazy and desperate breakout, and other Japanese reinforcements around may also come to rescue frantically.
At that time, the pressure that the troops responsible for blocking the Japanese 13th Division will have to bear is extremely great.
This is really not something that ordinary national army troops can withstand.
This is also the reason why Ye Qingshan has always allowed Zhou Pingkou's 208th Division to maintain a certain level of strength.
In such a dangerous mission that most people are not optimistic about or even unwilling to perform.
Ye Qingshan had no choice but to send his own direct subordinates to complete the task.
*
At the same time, at this time, the 88th Division.
Division Commander Sun Yuanliang and Chief of Staff Chen Sunong also received Ye Qingshan's counterattack plan and the order to transfer their 88th Division.
"Crazy, Qingshan is crazy.
I have no problem with counterattack.
However, he wanted to wipe out the Japanese 13th Division.
This...this appetite is too big."
Sun Yuanliang held Ye Qingshan's telegram and spoke to the chief of staff Chen Sunong next to him.
Chief of Staff Chen Sunong also smiled bitterly. He also felt that Ye Qingshan’s plan was too radical.
But for some reason, Chief of Staff Chen Sunong was willing to believe Ye Qingshan.
He himself felt it was a little outrageous.
"Master, don't worry.
Qingshan may have his reasons for doing this.
You also know that he still has a lot of reserve soldiers that are not being used.
Maybe there is a chance of success.”
When Sun Yuanliang met his chief of staff, he actually spoke up for Ye Qingshan.
He was also a little surprised and looked at the Chief of Staff: "Do you really support Qingshan's counterattack?"
“I think we can give it a try.
Qingshan came from our 88th Division, and we would have to support him.
Who else can he expect to support him?
Didn’t you say it before? Our 88th Division is the ace division, and we have to do the main work.
This time, Qingshan has given us this opportunity.
Do you still want to stay in the city and provide cover for the 66th Army?"
After hearing what Chief of Staff Chen Sunong said, Sun Yuanliang fell into deep thought and walked back and forth in the command center.
After a while, Sun Yuanliang seemed to have made up his mind, and he looked at Chen Sunong with a fierce expression and cursed: "Fuck you.
This time, I will risk my life to accompany you.
dry. "
Chief of Staff Chen Sunong also laughed when he saw Sun Yuanliang and made up his mind.
But Sun Yuanliang immediately said: "Call Qingshan back.
Tell him that our 88th Division firmly supports his counterattack plan.
We will set off tonight.
But he has to provide me with enough soldiers, weapons and ammunition.
Especially those American heavy machine guns and 60mm mortars from last time, give me more of them.
When the time comes, I will definitely help him to gnaw down the tough bone that is the Japanese Thirteenth Division."
After Ye Qingshan received Sun Yuanliang's reply, he also smiled.
He knew that there were only people around his 208th Division.
Among the other Nationalist troops in Nanjing City at this time, only the 88th Division would firmly support his bold counterattack plan.
"Tell the ammunition depot to take out the last batch of American weapons in stock.
Wait for the troops of the 88th and 208th Divisions to arrive tonight and assign them to them.
The ammunition allowed them to take out three bases.”
Ye Qingshan waved his hand and handed over all the weapons he had left behind to the 88th and 208th Divisions.
Anyway, that was originally prepared for them by Ye Qingshan.
