Chapter 315: The Devil's Final Madness

315 The Devil's Last Madness

Rumble!

Explosions continued to be heard from the city gates and urban areas of Jinling City.

Starting from the 19th, the Japanese commander was replaced by Chief of Staff Tsukada Isao, who launched a full-scale attack on the city of Nanjing.

All the Japanese divisions received orders to enter the city.

The Japanese only left a half-crippled 9th Division on Purple Mountain to protect their artillery,

The fighting in Jinling City entered a white-hot stage.

The two sides fought repeated tug-of-war battles around the city streets that had long since become ruins.

"Tell the soldiers that this is the last madness of the Japanese. Keep it all for me."

"ammunition?

Don't worry, I'll have someone deliver the ammunition to you later."

Ye Qingshan was in the headquarters, constantly answering calls from commanders of various divisions on the front line.

We still need soldiers and ammunition.

“Chief of Staff, good news.

The 209th Division sent back a telegram stating that they had ambushed another Japanese transport convoy.

Destroyed 35 Japanese transport convoys. "

Ning Yongchen ran over excitedly and told Ye Qingshan the good news.

"Well done, Lao Sun and Zhang Fa, you did a great job.

Now there is a problem with the Japs' supplies.

I want to see how long they can sustain this intensity of attack."

Ye Qingshan sneered.

“However, Commander Sun also said in the telegram that they had consumed a huge amount of ammunition.

Now, we can only seize some of the Japanese weapons for use.

Moreover, the Japanese 18th Division has caught up with them.

The two sides fought two battles, and the 209th Division suffered heavy losses.

The Japanese 18th Division will definitely not let them go easily next time.

It will not be easy for them to ambush the enemy's transport convoy again."

"Hey."

After hearing this, Ye Qingshan sighed.

When fighting behind enemy lines, ammunition problems are inevitable.

Ye Qingshan knew this before Sun Mingxu and his team set out.

He is now out of reach and unable to provide weapons and ammunition to the 209th Division.

They can only rely on themselves.

“Tell Lao Sun that I know it’s not easy for them.

However, the battle in Nanjing has now reached its most critical moment.

I have a hunch about this battle between us and the Japs.

It won't be long before the winner is decided.

At this critical moment, I don’t care what methods they use or what price they pay.

We must continue to threaten the enemy's logistical supply lines.

We must not let the devils get enough ammunition."

Ye Qingshan knew that it was not easy for Sun Mingxu's 209th Division to achieve this level behind enemy lines.

We shouldn't be so demanding of it.

But now, Ye Qingshan had no choice.

The decisive battle with the Japanese has now reached a critical moment and everyone is fighting desperately.

The 209th Division is no exception.

In fact, they are an extremely important factor in winning this battle.

"Okay, I'll notify the 209th Division."

“And two hours ago.

The special operations battalion, which had maintained radio silence, sent a telegram back to the headquarters.

Reported their battle results in the past few days.

Take a look. "

After Ye Qingshan read the telegram sent back by Black Bear's special operations battalion, he smiled again:

“Black Bear did a great job.

He actually destroyed three of the Japanese 150mm heavy artillery. No wonder he didn't send any news before.

Now I am sending a message back to announce the good news."

There was nothing else on the telegram.

There was no mention of casualties in the special operations battalion, nor was there any mention of the shortage of weapons and ammunition.

But Ye Qingshan knew that Black Bear deliberately didn't say this.

Ye Qingshan knew without guessing that Black Bear and the others must be in a very difficult situation at this moment.

They can only rely on themselves.

Everyone is working hard to win this battle.

"Commander, I'm Xiao Shanling.

The Japanese 11th and 13th Divisions attacked from Dinghuai Gate in the south and Jinchuan Gate in the north respectively.

Charged into the city gate.

Yes, they gave up the plan to capture Xiaguan from outside the city.

But their sudden change of plan left our troops with no time to react.

Dinghuai Gate and Jinchuan Gate were lost one after another.

It seems that the two Japanese troops want to cut off the connection between our defenders in the west of the city and you.

Now, I am leading my troops back to the city.

I hope the headquarters will send a reinforcement force to guard the Survey Department building.

We can’t let the devils occupy that place.

Otherwise, our western defense zone will be cut off."

Ye Qingshan was on the phone, listening to Deputy Commander Xiao's anxious voice.

"okay, I get it.

I'll send some reinforcements.

Deputy Commander Xiao, listen to me.

Do not withdraw all the elite troops defending Xiaguan.

The ammunition I ordered will be delivered tomorrow night.

You must ensure that this batch of ammunition can arrive safely at the Xiaguan ferry."

Ye Qingshan instructed Xiao Shanling.

At this critical moment, nothing can go wrong in Xiaguan.

Otherwise, the large batch of ammunition ordered by Ye Qingshan would not be delivered.

Then they would really fall on the eve of victory.

Even Ye Qingshan was suspicious.

The Japanese 11th and 13th Divisions seemed to be attacking the west of the city at this time, but in fact it was just a decoy.

Their real target may still be the ships at Xiaguan Ferry.

"Qingshan, do you have any more ammunition to send?"

Xiao Shanling was also extremely shocked after hearing Ye Qingshan's words.

“What we bought this time was not weapons, but mainly ammunition.

We are running out of ammunition too quickly."

"really."

"Then do you want me to go and receive it in person?"

Xiao Shanling asked.

“No need this time, no one dares to touch this batch of ammunition this time.

Commander Chen will send his adjutant to Hong Kong to take over.

Besides, what was delivered this time were bullets and shells.

Now, in addition to our troops in Nanjing, the country is equipped with a lot of American weapons.

Other troops do not have many American weapons.

Even if they were given these ammunitions, they would be useless.

No one would have any bad intentions.”

Ye Qingshan chuckled and said that this ammunition transportation was the one he felt most at ease with.

"That's good."

Ye Qingshan hung up the phone with Deputy Commander Xiao.

He immediately notified the training ground in the city: "Notify the Third Militia Division,

Have them rush west to the Survey Department Building and set up defensive positions with that building as the center.

Make sure our connection with the west of the city is not cut off by the devils."

Ye Qingshan continued to give orders.

"Send a telegram to Commander Chen and ask.

When will the 800 rockets be delivered to us?

The Japanese on my side have gone crazy, and the decisive battle with them is coming soon.

I need those eight hundred rockets."

Ye Qingshan asked his staff officer to send a telegram to Chen Cheng.

It turned out that Ye Qingshan purchased a large batch of materials for making rockets from Hong Kong two weeks ago.

Ye Qingshan didn't let him be sent to Jinling.

At this time, the production capacity of Jinling Arsenal has been fully utilized.

These materials for making rockets have been delivered.

Old Yan and the others can’t use it either.

So, Ye Qingshan directly asked Chang An to deliver this batch of raw materials for making rockets to Commander Chen in Wuhan.

Let Commander Chen hand it over to the Wuhan Arsenal. Anyway, the National Army’s arsenal has already mastered the method of manufacturing rockets.

The arsenal in Wuhan is the largest, and they can produce rockets much faster.
