After receiving Gu Zhutong's reply, Ye Qingshan also breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as Gu Zhutong is in hand, the logistics supply line in Fujian Province will not have any problems.
At the same time, Gu Zhutong contacted the 28th Army in Shaoguan and bought two days for Ye Qingshan.
Two days later, the New 1st Division, which had headed north from Fengcheng, arrived in Shaoguan.
As long as we take over all the defensive positions of the former 28th Army on the Shaoguan front line.
Then, northern Guangdong is not completely lost.
Ye Qingshan can still rely on the Shaoguan defense line to stop the Japanese invaders heading south.
"Let's go to the front line."
When Xiao Wusheng rushed back to the airport in the middle of the night.
Ye Qingshan was already at the airport, and had briefed Meng Jifei, Johnson and others about the subsequent combat missions of their air force.
After seeing Xiao Wusheng coming back, he immediately got in the car and headed straight for the front line in Echeng.
At the same time, the main force of the New 1st Division, which received Ye Qingshan's order, was heading north at full speed towards Shaoguan.
On the 27th, Ye Qingshan arrived at the front line of Echeng.
At this time, the Japanese 108th Regiment in Echeng had basically been wiped out by the New nd Division and the New rd Division.
Only a small number of remnants escaped.
The Japanese regiment commander Kitani Suketoshi was killed in the battle.
"Commander, you're back."
After Ye Qingshan arrived at the command center, Deputy Commander Wu brought people out to greet him.
"Report on the situation at the front line."
"Yes.
At present, all the Japanese positions around Echeng have been captured by us.
The Japanese defense line in Echeng has collapsed.
The east gate leading to Guangzhou was completely opened by us.
Next, after discussion, we decided to let the two regiments of the New Third Division serve as the vanguard.
Be the first to rush to Yangcheng.
The main force will follow.
The New Second Division suffered more damage than the New Third Division because of the attack on Echeng.
Let them rest for two days before setting off again."
Deputy Commander Wu gave a brief report.
After hearing this, Ye Qingshan shook his head and said, "No time to rest.
Notify the New 2nd Division and ask them to downsize their regiments.
The two severely damaged units were merged into one.
Starting today, the New Second Division and the New Third Division will launch an all-out attack on the Japanese in Yangcheng.
The New 2nd Division is still responsible for the attack on the eastern front, and the New 3rd Division will go to the northern front to attack Fengcheng.
Take over the attack direction of the New 1st Division."
"Commander, what about the New 1st Division?"
Deputy Commander Wu asked doubtfully.
At this time, officers at all levels of the 89th Army on the front line had no idea what was happening in northern Guangdong.
“The New First Division was transferred by me.
You don't have to worry about it. Just command the New Second Division and the New Third Division to capture Yangcheng as soon as possible."
After saying that, Ye Qingshan left the command center without even sitting down.
"Commander, what are you doing?"
Deputy Commander Wu became even more confused when he saw Ye Qingshan was about to leave again.
"I'm going to northern Guangdong."
Ye Qingshan said in a deep voice.
Compared with the situation of the New Second Division and the New Third Division, Ye Qingshan was more worried about the situation of the New First Division which was about to arrive in Shaoguan.
According to the information Ye Qingshan received from Ning Yongchen in the past two days.
Nowadays, the Japanese troops attacking northern Guangdong have long since grown from one mixed brigade to two mixed brigades, with nearly 20,000 Japanese troops.
It is obvious that the commander of the Japanese 11th Army, Anami Korechika, is also determined to seize the strategic location of northern Guangdong.
As for the New 1st Division, there are only about 13,000 people at most.
In addition, they were in such a hurry to move north that the artillery units could not keep up.
Under such circumstances, if they encountered these two mixed brigades of the Japanese on the Shaoguan front line, it would inevitably be an extremely brutal battle.
Ye Qingshan decided to go there personally to take command and boost the fighting spirit of the soldiers of the New 1st Division.
But Ye Qingshan hasn't left yet.
Xiao Wusheng ran over and whispered to Ye Qingshan, "Commander, Commander Chen wants to talk to you.
Waiting over there."
Ye Qingshan got off the military vehicle and strode towards the telegraph room.
During these two days, Ye Qingshan has been trying to contact Chen Cheng, but unfortunately he failed.
Now, the other party finally showed up.
When Ye Qingshan arrived at the telegraph room, a telegram from Chen Chengxin arrived.
"Brother Ye, I know you are angry and confused at the moment.
But first listen to my brother's advice and withdraw troops from Guangdong Province immediately.
The Military Control Commission received the news.
The Japanese headquarters has decided to have the Japanese 11th Army in western Hunan move south immediately.
Now, we just have to wait for the Japanese vanguard troops to move south to seize northern Guangdong and open up a passage into Guangdong.
By then, the main force of the Japanese 11th Army will all move south.
He Jingzhi bypassed the headquarters and transferred the 10th Army defending northern Guangdong.
The reasons behind his boldness are complicated.
I can't help you this time.
Don't be obsessed.
Listen to my brother's advice and withdraw your troops immediately and return to southern Zhejiang."
Ye Qingshan could see Chen Cheng's helplessness and worry from the tone of his telegram.
"Commander Chen, explain it to me clearly.
I really don’t understand why.”
Now, Ye Qingshan just wants to know the reason.
Gu Zhutong was unwilling to tell him, so Ye Qingshan had no choice but to ask Chen Cheng.
After a while, Chen Cheng's telegram came again.
After reading it, Ye Qingshan just stood there for a moment.
I couldn't help but feel sad: "It's almost time for the country to be destroyed and the family to be ruined.
Why do we still need to do this?
I am really impressed."
It turned out that Chen Cheng briefly told Ye Qingshan in the telegram.
This time, He Jingzhi was determined to sabotage his counterattack on Guangdong Province.
The fundamental reason is not just fear. Ye Qingshan's success in recovering Guangdong Province made his achievements so great that they shocked the emperor and slapped the faces of the senior officials of the National Army.
It is not just to preserve the strength of the hundreds of thousands of main forces of the National Army in Xiangxi.
More importantly, it was because of the previous command meeting.
Ye Qingshan’s battle proposal.
Surprisingly, they were unanimous and received the approval of Commander Long of the Yunnan faction, Little Zhuge of the Guangxi faction, and Old Xi Yan of the Shanxi faction.
And what are the identities of these people? They are all local warlords similar to Ye Qingshan.
It's really outrageous.
You local warlords are actually going to band together?
How can that be done?
Then, the counterattack by the senior generals of the Whampoa clique of the National Army, led by He Jingzhi, came.
After all, there has always been factional struggles within the top leadership of the National Army.
There were huge contradictions between local warlords and the central army, which was mainly composed of Whampoa generals.
Ye Qingshan naturally knew who was behind the Whampoa clique.
In the view of He Jingzhi and others, this battle was no longer as simple as fighting the Japanese.
Rather, it involves their factional fighting and internal power struggles.
So, they must destroy it.
The more you agree, the more we must oppose.
If the open way doesn’t work, try the covert way.
Ye Qingshan finally knew the truth at this moment, and he felt helpless and sad.
Moreover, it seemed that he had suffered an unexpected disaster this time.
He really didn't have much connection with the warlords of the Yunnan and Guangxi cliques.
Not to mention secret alliance.
"I'm so exhausted. It turns out I'm not suitable for the officialdom."
Ye Qingshan's face darkened, but there was nothing he could do about it.
These were not things he could control, he could only blame himself for his bad luck.
