326 Counterattack, Interspersed
"Commander, Commander Ye said.
Let you leave the city through Taiping Gate tonight.
Early this morning, the 51st Division will launch a counterattack at Taiping Gate, and you will also participate in it.
Assist the 51st Division to drive the Japanese in the north of the city out of Taiping Gate.
Then, you take advantage of the night and leave the city through Taiping Gate.
We move northwards, aiming for Qixia Mountain.
Build a defensive position on Qixia Mountain, defend Qixia Mountain, and wait for follow-up orders from the headquarters."
The former veteran of the 88th Division said to Sun Yuanliang.
“Well, there are so many weapons and ammunition.
I will lead some people tonight and join forces with Wang Yaowu to drive the devils out of the city."
“Chief of Staff, have the soldiers come over and carry the ammunition.
Distribute these machine guns, mortars, and rocket launchers to each company."
Sun Yuanliang said to the chief of staff behind him with a smile.
Afterwards, the 88th Division spent another hour at the training ground to recruit Ye Qingshan's reserve troops.
Add to their division.
At this time, Sun Yuanliang reorganized his 88th Division into three main regiments, each with about people.
"set off!"
After the reorganization was completed, Sun Yuanliang and Chen Sunong immediately led their troops to Taiping Gate.
They joined forces with Wang Yaowu's 51st Division and prepared for an early morning attack.
"Master, did you see that?
There are still many soldiers resting in the barracks northwest of the training ground."
During the march, Chief of Staff Chen Sunong found Sun Yuanliang and whispered.
Sun Yuanliang nodded: "I saw it.
Moreover, as far as I know, there is more than one training ground in Qingshan Nong.
I estimate that he has at least two or three divisions of reserve troops at his disposal."
"So many? I thought ten thousand people would be the limit."
Chen Sunong was surprised.
Sun Yuanliang had more than he expected.
“It will be more, not less.
Otherwise, would he dare to challenge the Japanese 13th Division?
At this time, the Japanese 13th Division was in a state of decline.
There should be at least 10,000 people left.
How can we defeat these more than 10,000 Japanese soldiers without a several times advantage in military strength?
Your teeth must have broken!
Just wait and see, Qingshan has prepared more backup plans than we thought.
Before this afternoon, you can think of it.
Can that guy get an air force to fight with so many fighter planes of the devil?"
Sun Yuanliang laughed so hard that he even laughed himself.
Because the more backup plans Ye Qingshan prepares, the better it will be for them.
Chief of Staff Chen Sunong, who was standing next to him, also nodded after hearing this.
Some people agree with what the commander Sun Yuanliang said.
“No, sir.
You keep calling our Chief of Staff Ye that kid.
If he hears about this, aren't you afraid that he will make things difficult for you?"
Chief of Staff Chen Sunong said jokingly.
"Oh, I'm afraid he'll make things difficult for me.
Even if Ye Qingshan becomes a commander in the future, he will still be my nephew.
Laozi and his father are close friends.
When we are not fighting, he has to call me Uncle Sun when he sees me. "
Sun Yuanliang said proudly.
"Okay, Master, you are awesome."
*
At the same time that the 88th Division left the training ground, at another training ground in the northwest.
The two main regiments of Zhou Pingkou's 208th Division were also counting weapons and ammunition here.
"Captain Zhou, the 5,000 soldiers that Commander Ye gave you are all here.
You should also take all the weapons and ammunition with you.
Tonight, you will leave the city through the Shen Ce Gate.
Over there, the Japanese 13th Division is now in charge of the attack.
The 83th Division of the 154rd Army was responsible for defense.
Tonight, the 154th Division will also launch a counterattack against the Japanese in the early morning. You all will participate.
Let’s fight our way out of the city together.
Then, you will move northwards, seize Yaohua Gate, and defend it there."
A major officer told Zhou Pingkou and others what Ye Qingshan had told them.
"Okay, we get it."
Zhou Pingkou looked at the 5,000 reserve troops that Ye Qingshan had replenished for him, as well as the weapons and ammunition that were scattered all over the ground.
More confident.
Compared with the 88th Division, Ye Qingshan provided Zhou Pingkou with more troops, weapons and ammunition.
It’s just because the task Ye Qingshan gave to the 208th Division was heavier than that of the 88th Division.
The terrain on the Yaohua Gate side is not as dangerous as Qixia Mountain.
It is also the hub of the Japanese railway line and the most important position of the Japanese 13th Division on its retreat route.
Therefore, tonight the 208th Division must not only infiltrate Yaohuamen.
Annihilate the Japanese garrison there and occupy it.
In the next few days, we must hold on to that place firmly.
Not only did they have to face the frantic breakout launched by the Japanese 13th Division after they found themselves surrounded.
They might also have to face attacks from behind from reinforcements sent by other Japanese divisions in the periphery.
Ye Qingshan didn't give Zhou Pingkou more strength because he was really afraid that they would not be able to hold on.
After receiving these 5,000 reserve soldiers.
Zhou Pingkou quickly completed the task and replenished Lu Dahai's regiment.
Two reserve regiments were reorganized.
At this time, Zhou Pingkou had two main regiments and two reserve regiments, with a total of nearly 10,000 people.
This gave Zhou Pingkou more confidence in completing this blocking mission.
"lets go!"
Before dawn, the 88th and 208th Divisions were all in place.
Ye Qingshan looked at his watch. After midnight, Ye Qingshan picked up the phone and said, "Let's start the counterattack."
Boom boom boom!
After hanging up the phone, Ye Qingshan heard continuous explosions all around him.
The various units of the Nationalist army, which had been prepared for a long time, launched a more fierce counterattack.
"The Chinese are fighting back, and their firepower is too strong.
We need to move in!"
Near Taiping Gate, in a ruined house, was the headquarters of a Japanese army battalion.
At this time, the Japanese captain was calling the brigade headquarters in the rear, requesting to retreat.
Even so, the Japanese were prepared in advance and went into defensive mode at night.
However, the counterattack launched by the National Army at Taiping Gate tonight was too intense.
This Japanese army of hundreds of people couldn't even hold out for two hours.
The defense line collapsed and there were heavy casualties.
Da da da!
As a result, before the Japanese captain received a reply from his superior.
There was a fierce burst of submachine gun fire outside, and several Kuomintang commandos rushed over.
He shot at the two Japanese soldiers outside and rushed into the Japanese battalion headquarters.
These commandos from the 88th Division didn't care about anything.
First throw a grenade inside, and after the grenade explodes, go in and start shooting.
It's just such a brutal way of playing.
"Platoon leader, it seems we have taken down a Japanese headquarters."
After the firing, the soldier from the 88th Division holding a submachine gun in front looked at the layout of the ruined house and said in surprise.
The platoon leader at the back poked his head in to take a look and nodded, "Yes, it's a Japanese front-line headquarters.
It should be a brigade headquarters.
No need to look, there is no Japanese regiment flag.
All the Japanese soldiers inside were also shot to death.
Two people went in and took away the Japanese officer's command knife.
Everyone else, keep charging forward and don't waste too much time here.
Our order is to get out of the city as quickly as possible."
"Yes!"
The soldier responded.
