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

Chapter 348 Airborne Boss

348 Airborne Boss

"Commander Xiao, someone is coming to Xiaguan Ferry."

Xiao Shanling replaced Ye Qingshan and took command at the headquarters in the city.

At five o'clock in the afternoon of the 26th, the National Army launched a full-scale counterattack against the Japanese divisions retreating outside the city.

Xiao Shanling suddenly received a special message in the city.

"Who's coming?"

Xiao Shanling was curious.

The adjutant whispered twice in Xiao Shanling's ear.

In an instant, Xiao Shanling's eyes widened.

"Really?"

"It's absolutely true. Captain Qian sent someone to deliver this urgent message."

The adjutant whispered.

At this time, the military police battalion under Xiao Shanling was still defending the Xiaguan ferry.

He would naturally know the most timely news from Xiaguan Ferry.

“Don’t tell this to anyone.

Go now and call Staff Officer Ning over."

Xiao Shanling instructed his adjutant and spoke seriously.

"Yes!"

The adjutant responded and immediately went to call Ning Yongchen.

Not long after, Ning Yongchen came behind Xiao Shanling and asked, "Chief Xiao, you called me."

Xiao Shanling turned his head, looking at Ning Yongchen with a serious expression, and said, "Didn't the headquarters send any transfer orders to our headquarters?"

Ning Yongchen looked at Xiao Shanling's serious expression and what he asked.

Suddenly my heart started pounding.

"No, the High Command has not given us any orders for two days."

Ning Yongchen said seriously.

“I just received a tip from a close confidant.

Commander Chen and a special envoy have arrived in Xiaguan.

Coming to headquarters soon."

Xiao Shanling said in a deep voice.

"what!"

After Ning Yongchen heard this, his mind suddenly became confused.

Then he smiled bitterly, it had finally come to this time.

Seeing Ning Yongchen's bitter smile, Xiao Shanling knew that the other party understood everything.

He continued: “The High Command did not inform our front-line headquarters.

Just ask Commander Chen to come with a special envoy.

You should know what it means.

Perhaps, at this time, the commanders of the divisions on the front line have already received direct orders from the headquarters.

Our headquarters is now defunct in name only."

Ning Yongchen nodded.

Agree with what Xiao Shanling said.

Commander Chen came to the front line in person, needless to say, he was here to take over the command.

Otherwise, there would be no need for Chen Cheng to come to Nanjing at this time.

But, it's such an important thing.

By the time Chen Cheng had led his men to Xiaguan, their headquarters had not yet received the news.

This can only mean that the high command deliberately did not tell them.

As Ye Qingshan’s confidant, Ning Yongchen knew a lot.

Know what that means.

It was obvious that the headquarters had long known that Ye Qingshan had placed Tang Shengzhi under house arrest in an attempt to seize power.

For various reasons, the headquarters had turned a blind eye to this.

Now, with the defeat of the Japs, the defense of Nanjing has achieved a complete victory.

It is obvious that the command has decided to take action.

The first step, naturally, is to regain command of all the National Army divisions on the Nanjing front.

Orders are not issued through the front-line headquarters.

Because the headquarters is also aware of it.

At this time, most of the radio stations at the headquarters were controlled by Ye Qingshan's direct confidants.

If a telegram was sent directly, it would expose the intentions of the command.

So, they simply airdropped a big boss over to take over the command of the Jinling front.

"Is it really necessary for the higher-ups to be so anxious?"

Ning Yongchen had long expected that this day would come.

But when this day comes.

And even in this way, he still felt a little sad.

"Hey!

You guys!

This is a big mistake!"

Xiao Shanling sighed.

He had long known what Ye Qingshan had done, and even many senior generals of the National Army on the Nanjing front knew about it.

I've basically guessed it.

Those who still couldn't guess that Ye Qingshan would seize power at this point were really slow to react.

Suddenly, Ning Yongchen took out a pistol and pointed it at Xiao Shanling.

Xiao Shanling's adjutants around him were so frightened that they quickly pointed their guns at Ning Yongchen.

"Officer Ning, what are you doing?

Don't mess around. "

Xiao Shanling's adjutant shouted in horror.

"Put it down, or I'll shoot."

Ning Yongchen slowly walked behind Xiao Shanling, stared at the guards around him with cold eyes, and shouted loudly.

“Listen to him.

Do you want to watch him shoot me?

Xiao Shanling had a blank expression on his face. He looked at his adjutant and the guards who had rushed over and scolded them.

He looks like he's really afraid of death.

Xiao Shanling's adjutant had no choice but to put down his weapon.

The other guards also lowered their guns.

At this time, a group of officers and soldiers rushed in from outside the headquarters, all holding guns.

Directly controlled everyone.

These are all the Kuomintang officers who have sided with Ye Qingshan during this period.

With Ye Qingshan's current reputation and the outstanding military exploits he has just achieved, it is normal for him to have a group of little fans in the army.

In particular, some young officers and soldiers with ideals and ambitions regard Ye Qingshan as a wise leader.

"Zhao An, act according to the original plan."

Ning Yongchen said to the major officer who was in the lead.

"understand!"

The major nodded and immediately led his men to act separately.

They were going to notify more people who were willing to follow Ye Qingshan and prepare to evacuate.

At this time, Ye Qingshan had four troops under his command, the 208th Division, the 209th Division, the st Militia Division and the nd Militia Division.

They were all outside the city because of the battle.

Only Ning Yongchen and other staff officers of the headquarters were still in the city.

Therefore, these staff officers formulated corresponding retreat methods based on their own situations.

They also want to take away many people who have close ties with Ye Qingshan.

To prevent them from being implicated by Ye Qingshan and being tried after the war.

"Deputy Commander Xiao.

Commander Ye had long anticipated that such a situation would occur.

So, before leaving, he told us how to deal with it.

Next, I will need a little cooperation from you, this rebel.

I'm sorry for the inconvenience you have suffered.

This way, you can save yourself some trouble later and won’t be implicated by us.”

Ning Yongchen whispered in Xiao Shanling's ear.

"Hey, why is he doing this?

Things haven't gotten that bad yet.

Sit down and talk it over with Commander Chen and the new special envoy.

Maybe things can turn around.”

Xiao Shanling said in a low voice.

Ning Yongchen shook his head gently: "Commander Xiao, you just said that.

This time, we made a big mistake.

Even if we win the battle of Nanjing.

If Commander Ye comes back this time, he will still be in trouble.

Perhaps because of his outstanding military achievements and high reputation, the command will not kill him.

However, he will definitely be hidden.

After that, Commander Ye will never be seen again on the front line of the battle against the Japanese.

Commander Ye said that he could not accept such an outcome.

Therefore, he can only use other methods to avoid this result.

Initially, it was he who made the decision to seize power.

Then he will bear the consequences of all this.

Commander Ye is like this.

What's more, we, the small fry, might really have no way out by then.

But the devils have not been defeated yet, the national humiliation has not been avenged, and I don’t want to die yet.”

Ning Yongchen said to Xiao Shanling with a sincere look on his face.

“So, Ye Qingshan asked me to take his place at the headquarters this time.

He led his troops to the north of the city and encircled and annihilated the Japanese 13th Division.

Are you ready not to return to the city?"

"Yes and no."

Soon, the officers and soldiers at the headquarters who were willing to follow Ye Qingshan and leave gathered.

He pretended to be so serious that he tied up all of Xiao Shanling's men.

"Brother, I'm sorry.

If we have a chance to meet next time, I will personally pour you a glass of wine to apologize."

"Ning Yongchen, are you sure you don't want to contact Ye Qingshan?

Let him think about it carefully again.

Once you leave, it will become real, and there will be no room for maneuver."

Xiao Shanling felt extremely conflicted at this moment.

He and Ye Qingshan can be considered heroes appreciating each other.

On the one hand, he didn't want anything to happen to Ye Qingshan, but on the other hand, he didn't want Ye Qingshan to really leave like that.

“No need, Commander Xiao.

Commander Ye is a stubborn person, he has made up his mind.

It generally doesn’t change easily.”

Ning Yongchen put away his pistol and said with a chuckle.

"Hey."

Xiao Shanling saw that persuasion was useless and had no choice.

"I will try my best to buy you some time.

When you see Ye Qingshan, tell him, tell him.

Remember his promise.

No matter where he goes, remember that he is a Chinese man.

Fighting the Japanese invaders and defending the country is his mission.

If one day, I find out that Ye Qingshan has become a coward or a lackey of the Japanese.

I, Xiao Shanling, will personally take his life."

“Haha, don’t worry, Commander Xiao.

I will definitely pass on your words to Commander Ye."

"Tie me up too."

Xiao Shanling stretched out his hand.

"Sir, I'm sorry."

Ning Yongchen tied up Xiao Shanling.

Then he saluted him, immediately took everyone into the car, and left towards Taiping Gate in the north of the city.

It was evening now and it would soon be dark.

It will be convenient for them to evacuate under the cover of night.

"What? Deputy Commander Xiao and many officers in the headquarters were all kidnapped by Ye Qingshan's cronies?"

"It's the opposite, it's really the opposite.

General Chen, take a look.

How bold is Ye Qingshan? He is simply lawless.

You still advise me to talk to such a person?

Do you still expect him to admit his mistake and accept the punishment?

It’s simply a fantasy.”

More than an hour later, when Chen Cheng and Special Commissioner Song drove from Xiaguan to the headquarters in the city.

As a result, I received this message halfway before I even arrived.

The special envoy Song was so angry that he was fuming on the spot.

He complained crazily to Chen Cheng who was sitting in the back seat of the car.

Chen Cheng was in the back seat of the car, listening to the roar of Special Commissioner Song in the front, with a look of annoyance in his eyes.

But when he thought about Ye Qingshan's move, he was speechless.

Chen Cheng also understood Ye Qingshan's intention.

"Ye Qingshan is so decisive.

It seems that he understands the old man's methods.

Since you don’t plan to come back, it may not be a bad thing.”

Chen Cheng thought to himself.

“This black sheep must be eradicated resolutely.

This must not be tolerated.

They must be severely punished.”

The special commissioner Song in front is still shouting.

It seemed that the other party had thought of something at this time, and quickly added: "No matter how great his achievements are, it won't work."
