239 Leading the troops in battle again
The main thing is that among the defenders in Jinling City, there are many submachine guns equipped by Ye Qingshan.
This thing is really a powerful weapon for street fighting.
However, this thing consumes a lot of bullets.
Fortunately, Ye Qingshan’s underground arsenal can still produce bullets by itself, but even so it is still not enough.
This time, Ye Qingshan purchased more submachine guns from the Pitt family.
Just as many bullets.
There are also two new machines for making bullets, which are good things in the country.
Not only these, but also the Americans have the latest 60mm mortars, which are all good stuff.
Ye Qingshan was also worried about what would happen after this batch of arms was delivered.
Everything will be fine in Hong Kong.
However, once the transportation to Jinling begins, it will be hard to say what will happen.
Back then, a batch of submachine guns that Chang'an was transporting were hijacked by unknown persons on the way.
Ye Qingshan remembers this incident clearly.
Although Ye Qingshan asked someone to investigate afterwards, and even reported the matter to Commander Chen.
But in the end, the response given by Commander Chen.
It was to tell Ye Qingshan that the group of people who robbed the submachine guns had been found, the leader was a battalion commander, and the weapons had been recovered.
The officers and soldiers who committed the crime were all sent to military court.
Ye Qingshan accepted Chen Cheng's statement.
But in his heart, Ye Qingshan didn't believe it.
He didn't believe that a mere battalion commander could be so bold. Maybe there were bigger figures supporting them behind the scenes.
It’s just that Chen Cheng is not convenient to say it out loud.
Ye Qingshan had no way to pursue the matter.
The last time, the value of that batch of submachine guns was far less than the batch of arms that Ye Qingshan purchased from the Pete family.
Ye Qingshan was worried that this batch of arms would be on the way and might attract a lot of attention.
It would definitely be unsafe to let Chang An and the others transport it here.
Ye Qingshan must arrange for a National Army general whom he trusts and whose status is high enough to control the situation to go to Hong Kong in person.
Ye Qingshan thought about it and finally decided to choose Jinling, which met all the conditions.
Apart from Deputy Commander Xiao, there is really no one else.
So, at this time Ye Qingshan also opened up and told the truth about the batch of arms he purchased from the Pitt family.
He also told Deputy Commander Xiao all of his concerns.
While Deputy Commander Xiao was shocked by Ye Qingshan’s generosity, he also nodded seriously, acknowledging Ye Qingshan’s concerns: “Well, Qingshan.
Your concerns are justified.”
Deputy Commander Xiao knew that there were many factions within the National Army at that time.
Many generals of the National Army pretended to obey the principal's orders but actually disobeyed them.
Such a large amount of arms is obviously fat meat, and there must be many people who are jealous along the way.
The probability of something going wrong is very high.
Also, at that time the Japanese had spies planted everywhere in the country and had bribed many traitors and running dogs.
If they knew that the batch of arms purchased by Ye Qingshan would be sent to Jinling.
They will definitely find a way to sabotage along the way.
"So, Commander Xiao, I can only rest assured if I ask you to help me with this matter."
Ye Qingshan looked at Xiao Shanling and said sincerely.
Xiao Shanling pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, for such a large amount of arms.
It's really worth my trip.
Then I will go to Hong Kong myself."
Ye Qingshan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Deputy Commander Xiao finally agreed.
If Deputy Commander Xiao does not agree, Ye Qingshan really can't find any other suitable candidate.
He trusts Ye Qingshan's confidants, but most of them hold low positions and are not well-known, so they cannot control the situation when they go out.
As for the other senior generals of the National Army in Jinling, their status was high enough that some of them could not leave, and Ye Qingshan did not trust the others.
Now, it would be best if Deputy Commander Xiao could agree.
"Okay, then Commander Xiao, please leave as soon as possible.
In two days, this batch of arms will arrive in Hong Kong.
After you arrive in Hong Kong, someone will contact you and take you to receive this batch of arms.
Commander Chen Cheng also agreed and will arrange a convoy to pick you up in Guangzhou.
But even so, Commander Xiao, you should bring more people with you."
Ye Qingshan instructed Xiao Shanling.
Xiao Shanling knew the matter was important, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take a battalion from the Third Military Police Regiment and bring them with me."
"not enough."
Ye Qingshan shook his head.
"I'll pick another battalion and go with you."
"can."
Xiao Shanling agreed.
"Then I will lead people across the river tonight."
Deputy Commander Xiao did not stay in the air-raid shelter command center for long and left in a hurry.
After arranging for Deputy Commander Xiao to personally lead people to receive the batch of arms, Ye Qingshan finally felt relieved.
Soon, it got dark.
Black Bear has assembled all the special operations battalions.
Ye Qingshan has also explained everything to Ning Yongchen.
"Staff Officer Ning, I will lead the special operations battalion out for two days, and you will be in charge of the headquarters.
I will carry my radio with me and we will stay in touch.”
Ye Qingshan instructed Ning Yongchen.
“Chief of Staff, are you leaving again?
There are so many things going on in the headquarters right now, and I can’t make the decisions.
Now many division commanders and army commanders in the city are all requesting reinforcement of weapons and ammunition and the dispatch of more militia.
I can't handle them without you here."
Ning Yongchen became anxious when he heard Ye Qingshan say this.
His status was not enough to cope with the various demands from the army commanders and division commanders of the National Army on the front line in the city.
“I have already arranged this matter.
I have made a list of the number of additional soldiers, weapons and ammunition for each unit.
You reply to them.
Tell them, there are no more for now.
I'll tell you everything when I come back.
The Japanese in the city will not attack for the time being, and nothing will happen in two days.
Besides, we have a radio station to keep in touch at any time.
It’s just like the last time I led my troops to Xiaguan.
But this time I’m leading the troops out, so I have to keep it secret.
When you issue orders to the outside world, you still use the names of Commander Tang and me."
"OK then."
Seeing that Ye Qingshan had made up his mind, Ning Yongchen had no choice but to agree.
Afterwards, Ye Qingshan took advantage of the night and led the Black Bear Special Operations Battalion straight to Xiaguan.
When passing by the Shen Ce Gate, Ye Qingshan met Zhou Pingkou again.
"Lao Zhou, tell Lu Dahai and the others to be ready to pick us up at any time.
I'm going to lead the special operations battalion to do something big."
Ye Qingshan also went to Zhou Pingkou to mobilize troops and arrange for follow-up arrangements.
"Old Ye, are you going to lead them out yourself?
What are you going to do?
Zhou Pingkou was familiar with Ye Qingshan. When he saw Ye Qingshan, he personally changed into combat uniform and put on a helmet.
He hadn't seen Ye Qingshan in this fighting state for some time.
It reminded him of the time when he first met Ye Qingshan.
Zhou Pingkou was used to seeing Ye Qingshan in command and almost forgot that Ye Qingshan was a real killer.
Back then on the battlefield, a sniper rifle killed countless Japanese soldiers.
