328 Four Times the Strength
Ye Qingshan didn't believe the nonsense Wang Dachuan said.
When did he start to use his brain? That's like the sun rising in the west.
I guess he got the news from Lu Dahai.
But it doesn’t matter. Ye Qingshan believes that Wang Dachuan is loyal and will not leak the secret to others.
Besides, the encirclement operation has now been successful.
The Japanese 13th Division has been put into a cage, and the Japanese will soon find out.
If Wang Dachuan knows, then he will know.
At this time, Ye Qingshan looked at Wang Dachuan with a look of being a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water.
Ye Qingshan waved his hands impatiently: "Alright, how come you have become a scoundrel now?
It is impossible for you to go to the front line with me."
Given Wang Dachuan's injuries, Ye Qingshan was worried that he would die on the front line.
“Since you don’t want to be idle.
You take a company of people and follow our rocket artillery battalion."
Ye Qingshan found a mission for Wang Dachuan that did not require him to go to the front line.
"Sir, I think..."
Unfortunately, Wang Dachuan didn't appreciate it and wanted to speak more.
But Ye Qingshan interrupted him directly: "Shut up, you keep talking.
This mission is gone, so get back to the hospital."
"Yes, sir.
I'm going to the rocket artillery battalion."
Seeing Ye Qingshan getting angry, Wang Dachuan didn't dare to bargain anymore.
Ye Qingshan got back on the military vehicle and headed towards Shen Ce Gate.
When they arrived near Shen Ce Gate, Commander Chen of the 83th Division of the 154rd Army, who was previously stationed there, ran over.
"Commander Chen, just leave a small group of troops here to defend.
You should lead your troops to meet your commander immediately.
Tell your army commander that the mission of your 83rd Division is no longer just to defend Mufu Mountain.
Attack for me, attack the Japanese 13th Division.
Now, the Japanese 13th Division was trapped in the area west of Yaohuamen and east of Mufu Mountain.
You, the 83rd Army, will attack from west to east against the Japanese th Division.
I will lead my troops and attack from south to north.
Eat up the Japanese Thirteenth Division."
When Commander Chen of the 154th Division heard what Ye Qingshan said, he opened his mouth in horror.
After Ye Qingshan left, Commander Chen's expression had not yet recovered.
"This is crazy, Chief of Staff Ye is crazy.
He...he just said that he wanted to eat up the Japanese Thirteenth Division?"
Commander Chen asked the adjutant next to him with a look of disbelief.
The adjutant nodded: "Yes, sir.
Chief of Staff Yeh did say that.”
“Oh my god, it’s Ye Qingshan indeed.
Is it not enough for him to annihilate the Japanese regiment and brigade-level troops?
He wants to eat up an entire division of the Japanese this time?"
After a moment of panic, Commander Chen felt inexplicably excited.
He even recalled Ye Qingshan's past battle records.
At the beginning, when Ye Qingshan destroyed the Japanese heavy artillery regiment in the Battle of Shanghai, it shocked the world.
When the Battle of Nanjing just started, no one could have imagined that Ye Qingshan would annihilate an entire regiment of the Japanese devils in Caojiaying.
Moreover, the battle of Nanjing has been able to hold out until now and start the counterattack.
It is something they dare not even think about.
These are the things that, in their opinion, are simply impossible to do.
Ye Qingshan did it all.
In this case, in their view, annihilating the Japanese 13th Division was a crazy act.
Maybe there is a chance to achieve it?
And if I could lead my troops to participate in it, I would definitely be able to get some credit for this battle.
Then after the war, they can say it wherever they go.
I once annihilated an entire division of the Japanese.
How satisfying it is!
"Let's go and meet the commander."
Commander Chen immediately led his troops out of the city and returned to the Mufu Mountain line to join the main force of Deng Longguang's 83rd Army.
In fact, at this time, Commander Deng of the 83rd Army had already received Ye Qingshan's message.
It was also shocking at first.
But in the end, he also decided to participate in this battle.
At this time, the two divisions of the 83rd Army still had more than troops.
After obtaining a lot of American equipment provided by Ye Qingshan, their combat effectiveness was greatly improved.
They will take on the task of attacking the Japanese 13th Division on the western front.
On the southern front, there is naturally the Southern Offensive Army, which is composed of the Second Militia Division and the Military Police Regiment led by Ye Qingshan, with more than 15,000 people.
Needless to say, on the eastern front, more than 88 soldiers from the 208th and th Divisions have all arrived.
They didn't need to attack, they just needed to defend the eastern retreat route of the Japanese 13th Division.
To the north is the Yangtze River, a natural barrier.
It’s not impossible for the Japanese to take the water route.
But they have to face the bombardment from the gunboats mobilized by Ye Qingshan.
In order to destroy the Japanese 13th Division, Ye Qingshan mobilized nearly 40,000 troops this time.
The ratio of the two sides' forces was one to four.
Only such a huge disparity in troop strength could satisfy Ye Qingshan's requirement to completely wipe out the enemy's 13th Division in the shortest time possible.
Otherwise, any encirclement and annihilation operation will be disastrous if it drags on for too long.
The probability of failure will increase.
At this time, the Japanese 13th Division had become a completely trapped beast.
It all depends on how Ye Qingshan and the others will eat him up bite by bite.

At 58 o'clock in the morning on the rd, two thousand men from the th Regiment of the th Division of the Japanese army, following the order of the old Japanese army led by Hagisu Rippei.
Fight back to Yaohua Gate and take it back.
"Commander, a troop of the Japanese has appeared.
There must be more than two thousand people.
It should be a regiment under the 13th Division of the Japanese.
They must be here to take back Yaohua Gate."
A lieutenant colonel came to Zhou Pingkou and reported the latest news just brought by the scouts.
“It’s coming pretty fast!”
Zhou Pingkou sneered.
Fortunately, they are not slow in moving.
At this time, Zhou Pingkou had already designed a defensive position in the Yaohuamen area.
Three lines of defense are formed, with four regiments deployed in echelons.
"Tell Lu Dahai that their group will be the first to engage in a firefight with the Japanese troops.
Keep the Japanese outside the first line of defense.
Now, the second and third lines of defense have not been completed.
We need time.”
"besides."
Zhou Pingkou thought for a moment and continued, “Let a regiment use only half of its heavy firepower.
Let the Japanese mistakenly think that we are a small sneak attack force.
Confuse them.
This gave the Japanese the illusion that they could quickly recapture Yaohuamen.
This will delay the Japanese 13th Division Headquarters from discovering that we are surrounding them and want to annihilate them."
There was no particularly dangerous terrain to be used on the Yaohua Gate line defended by Zhou Pingkou.
Therefore, if the Japanese 13th Division immediately discovered Ye Qingshan’s intention at this time.
Regardless of everything, break out from the direction of Yaohuamen.
Then their 208th Division will face enormous defensive pressure.
They needed to confuse the Japanese commander and give them another half day to build the second and third lines of defense.
In this regard, Zhou Pingkou reported the matter to Ye Qingshan.
I hope Ye Qingshan’s attack can be delayed for three to five hours.
Ye Qingshan finally agreed.
Then, Ye Qingshan set the time for launching a general attack on the Japanese 13th Division to after four o'clock in the afternoon.
Leave half a day for Zhou Pingkou and his men to build a more solid defense line.
