185 Kongo-class battleship, Minekaze-class destroyer

“Niang Xipi, Tang Shengzhi.

I'm going to fire him!"

The principal was enraged by Tang Shengzhi's disobedience.

"Please calm down, Mr.

Commander Tang might have his own difficulties, as the situation on the Nanjing front was too complicated at this time.

Be cautious in any decision.

Especially replacing the commander is a taboo and must not be done."

Seeing that the principal was very angry and threatened to replace the front-line commander, a civilian aide nearby hurried to persuade him.

Changing generals at the last minute, especially when the front line is in such a difficult situation, is a fool's idea.

The principal actually knew that he was just too angry and said it casually.

After a while, when the principal calmed down, he looked at the staff around him and said, "So, I can't command Tang Shengzhi now?

He is no longer a general of the National Army."

The principal was angry because he felt his authority was challenged.

This was something he couldn't tolerate.

"Chairman, perhaps we should give Commander Tang a chance to explain."

The staff quickly found a way for the principal to save his face.

"Humph, then send another signal to Tang Shengzhi.

Ask him what he is doing?

If you don't give me a reasonable explanation, I will really fire him.

At that time, let Xiao Shanling take over the command of the front line."

The principal finally kept his sanity.

When Ye Qingshan finished surveying the waters and came back, it was already late at night.

He looked at the telegram from the principal again and said irritably, “What a hassle.

Not only do I have to deal with these damn Japs on the front line, but I also have to appease our principal in the rear.

I am destined to be a hard worker!"

"Call the principal back and tell him that we have a way to deal with the Japanese warships.

Give us two days and we will give them a satisfactory result.

If by that time, we are unable to stop the Japanese attacking warships.

If the transportation line on the Yangtze River is really cut off, we will break through immediately.

In addition, tell the principal that our army will never surrender in this battle.

Whoever dares to surrender, I will kill him in advance."

Ye Qingshan thought for a while and chose to reply to the principal in this way.

Ye Qingshan seemed to have guessed why the principal wanted them to break out at this time.

Not long after, the principal took Ye Qingshan's reply telegram and tapped his fingers on the table.

After a moment, the principal said in a deep voice: "Okay, I will wait for two more days.

I want to see what methods they have to deal with the Japanese warships."

"Also, have our intelligence agents on the riverside send the exact location of the Japanese warships to Jinling every two hours."

The principal finally chose to trust the Jinling frontline troops again.

Even provide intelligence support.

It is true. Otherwise, the principal would have no good way to deal with Tang Shengzhi on the front line.

The principal had never met a Nationalist general who dared to disobey his orders so directly.

This time, Tang Shengzhi touched his sore spot.

But the principal's reason finally prevailed.

Knowing that he had no good way to deal with Tang Shengzhi at this moment, a general on the battlefield was indeed not subject to military orders.

At the same time, the principal still had some expectations in his heart.

To be honest, the Nanjing front has given him quite a few surprises during this period.

The principal's mood was also complicated at this time.

But one thing didn't escape.

That means the principal has already made a note of Tang Shengzhi in his little notebook.

It won’t be too late to settle accounts with him later, after the battle is over.

On the morning of the 19th, Ye Qingshan was at the Xiaguan Ferry Command Center, making detailed markings on the waters near Jinling.

While choosing a suitable location for laying mines, Xiao Wusheng came in with the latest telegram from the principal.

After reading this, Ye Qingshan finally grinned and said, "Our principal is finally rational.

Willing to give us two days.

We even had someone report to us at all times the arrival time of the Japanese warships.

At least I'm not making things worse.

I just don’t know if the principal will bear a grudge against us.”

Ye Qingshan smiled helplessly at the end.

He knew that it probably would.

"Sir, didn't you say before that it was Commander Tang who disobeyed orders? What does it have to do with you?

When the time comes, the Chairman will only bear grudge against Commander Tang."

The young martial artist said jokingly beside him.

But Ye Qingshan also shook his head and said nothing more.

What he said before was just a casual remark.

Ye Qingshan knew very well that his attempt to seize power would sooner or later be exposed and would be known to the world.

In fact, some people in Jinling City may have already noticed the signs.

The reason why they didn't say anything was because at this time they were facing a common and powerful enemy, the Japanese.

These people still need Ye Qingshan.

At this time, Ye Qingshan, who controlled most of the militia in the city and the Yangtze River transportation line, was indeed more suitable to be the commander than Tang Shengzhi.

But this was because some Kuomintang generals in the city discovered some clues, but still chose to play dumb.

However, once the Japanese retreated.

Then, everything will be different.

By then, the principal will definitely know that the battle in Jinling City was actually commanded by Ye Qingshan.

Similarly, the hatred towards Tang Shengzhi will be replaced by that towards Ye Qingshan.

Disobeying orders is the most intolerable thing for a person like the principal.

It is far from being something that Ye Qingshan can offset by winning a few battles.

Fortunately, Ye Qingshan had anticipated this, so he had a way to deal with it later.

"Never mind, let's win the battle in Nanjing first and defeat the Japanese first.

We’ll talk about the rest later.”

Ye Qingshan didn't think any more and continued to mark the waters on the map.

By daybreak, Ye Qingshan had already marked several water locations on the map.

It’s all behind, the waters where Ye Qingshan is going to deploy new types of mines.

After daybreak, Ye Qingshan looked at his watch, then called Lu Dahai and instructed him, "In the morning, the 51st Division in the city will escort a batch of new mines to our location.

We need to pass through the Japanese defense zone, and you take the troops to provide support.

Remember, these mines must be well protected and nothing can happen to them.

When passing through the Japanese defense zone, you must move quickly.

Don't get entangled with the devils."

"Yes!"

Lu Dahai responded and turned to leave.

At the same time, after dawn, Ye Qingshan received the latest information about the Japanese fleet from the intelligence department in Shancheng.

"Three Japanese warships, a Kongo-class battleship, the Kirishima, and two Minekaze-class destroyers, the Akikaze and the Hanekaze."

After these two days, the intelligence department of the National Army finally obtained detailed information about the three warships sent by the Japanese this time.

At this time, Ye Qingshan looked at the detailed parameters of the three Japanese warships and sneered: "The three Japanese warships are all the oldest warships on the Japanese side.

Whether it is this "Kirishima" battleship or their Minekaze-class destroyer.

They are all old warships from twenty years ago.

It seems that the Japanese navy is not very concerned about supporting their army's operations this time."

(Happy Dragon Boat Festival everyone!)
