221 Guarantee of the Two Captains
Soon, at seven o'clock in the morning, Wu Zhaoxia's Jinling Radio Station started broadcasting as scheduled.
“Dear listeners across the country…”
Wu Zhaoxia's voice can be heard on countless radios across the country.
Wu Zhaoxia may not even know it herself, but at this point she has become famous across the country and has gained a large number of loyal listeners.
"Today, we want to tell you a good news.
Just last night, General Ye led his soldiers in a bloody battle with the Japanese on the Yangtze River.
Successfully sank a Japanese destroyer..."
Wu Zhaoxia's slightly excited voice quickly resounded throughout the country.
"What? What did I hear?"
"She said that General Ye led his men and sank a Japanese destroyer last night.
God!
Is this true? "
"It must be true. Ms. Wu has never lied about the results of a battle."
"We really sank a Japanese battleship.
Oh my god, God is watching."
Soon, countless young students cheered in universities in major cities such as Shancheng, Wuhan, Peking, and Guangzhou.
They even started organizing parades to celebrate.
Celebrate this rare victory.
"I want to join the army and go to Nanjing."
Countless passionate college students came up with such a bold idea at this time.
It's not like someone hasn't had this idea before.
However, given the precarious situation in Jinling City before, many people did not dare to take the risk even if they had this idea.
Of course, there were also some brave people who actually arrived in Jinling during this period.
On Ye Qingshan's side, he received a group of young students who crossed the river at the Xiaguan Ferry.
Ye Qingshan still values these young students who are knowledgeable and have ideals.
It just so happened that at this moment, the shelters in the city were in short supply of manpower, especially management talent.
Ye Qingshan stuffed these students into the shelter.
Only a small number of people were determined to join the army, and after Ye Qingshan approved them, he still only trained them in the city.
Among these young students and common people, many came here for Ye Qingshan.
This time, Wu Zhaoxia broadcast the news that Ye Qingshan had commanded the sinking of a Japanese destroyer.
This once again raised Ye Qingshan's reputation.
"I want to see with my own eyes the sunk Japanese warships.
I am going to Jinling."
"Count me in!"
"And I!"
Soon, many young college students from all over the country formed groups and went to Jinling.
Not long after, Chen Cheng, who was in Wuhan at the time, also received Ye Qingshan's telegram.
"Did Ye Qingshan and his men sink a Japanese destroyer last night?"
Chen Cheng was also extremely shocked when he learned the news.
"Good boy, he actually did it."
Chen Cheng was somewhat delighted.
At the beginning, during the Battle of Shanghai, the 88th Division where Ye Qingshan was located was under his command.
Ye Qingshan always brings them unexpected surprises.
"Call Ye Qingshan back and congratulate them on this proud achievement.
I will report this to High Command.
His commendation will arrive soon."
Chen Cheng said to his adjutant with a smile.
After a pause, Chen Cheng continued: "Also, tell Ye Qingshan about the batch of torpedoes he purchased from the Americans.
It is on the way to be delivered.
If nothing goes wrong, we can send it to them by water this afternoon."
"Also, immediately publish the news of the sinking of the Japanese destroyer in the newspaper.
We want to let the whole world know that the Japanese are not invincible."
Chen Cheng was so happy that he issued several orders in one breath.
When Ye Qingshan received the telegram sent by Chen Cheng from Wuhan, he learned that the torpedoes he bought were on the way.
Ye Qingshan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, Ye Qingshan received good news in the morning.
Wang Dachuan, who was in a coma, woke up.
"Double happiness."
Ye Qingshan was relieved that he did not lose a general.
However, at this time Ye Qingshan didn’t have time to go to the hospital to visit Wang Dachuan who had just woken up.
Now, the purchased torpedoes are about to be delivered.
Then, Ye Qingshan has to plan in advance how to use the two torpedo boats he has after the torpedoes arrive.
The attack on the Japanese ship Kirishima and another destroyer was launched.
"Go, invite Majors Lu Anmin and Zhang Renze over here."
Ye Qingshan instructed the guards behind him and said.
Without any movement, the two torpedo boat captains came to Ye Qingshan's side.
"Captains, the torpedoes I purchased will be delivered soon.
Now I want to ask you two,
If I provide you with torpedoes, how confident are you in sinking the Japanese battleship Kirishima and another destroyer?
How many torpedoes are needed?"
Ye Qingshan looked at the two captains of the Kuomintang torpedo boats and asked solemnly.
"This……"
Hearing Ye Qingshan's question, Lu Anmin hesitated and did not answer immediately.
On the contrary, Zhang Renze, who was dissatisfied with being sent here before, took the initiative and said to Ye Qingshan:
"Commander Ye, as long as you can provide me with ten...
No, eight torpedoes.
I promise to sink the Japanese battleship Kirishima for you."
Ye Qingshan was not surprised by Zhang Renze's change of attitude.
This guy was definitely his own torpedo boat at first, so there was no point in sending him here.
But now, when they learned that Ye Qingshan and his men had sunk a Japanese destroyer last night.
Moreover, Commander Chen Cheng had already sent people to escort the torpedoes purchased by Ye Qingshan, which were about to arrive.
Then everything would be different.
In Zhang Renze's eyes, this meaningless battle immediately became an opportunity to make great achievements.
If the torpedo boats they were able to operate could sink the Japanese battleship Kirishima.
That achievement would be enough to make their future promotion in the national army easier.
That's why Zhang Renze is so active at this time.
Ye Qingshan was not disgusted by Zhang Renze's eagerness to make achievements.
As long as he is really willing and goes all out to deal with the Japanese, Ye Qingshan is willing to give him the opportunity to make a name for himself.
Seeing Zhang Renze dare to make such a promise, Lu Anmin, who was standing next to him, was not to be outdone.
Looking at Ye Qingshan, he also said: “I can guarantee it too.
Commander Ye, you just need to provide me with eight torpedoes.
I will definitely sink a Japanese battleship for you."
"it is good!
That's your guarantee I want."
Ye Qingshan said with appreciation.
"I'll give you two torpedo boats, each with twelve torpedoes.
The two Japanese warships are now handed over to you.
When the time comes, I will have the fleet at Xiaguan Ferry to cover you."
Ye Qingshan promised the two of them.
"real or fake?
Sir, do we really have so many torpedoes?"
Lu Anmin widened his eyes. You know, when they were in the National Navy, they had never used torpedoes so extravagantly.
That thing is really expensive. They had launched a torpedo in actual combat last time when they were dealing with the Japanese ship Izumo.
During previous training, we had never fired a real torpedo.
There was no other way. The Nationalist Navy was poor before, so how could it have the money to purchase torpedoes and allow them to conduct live-fire training at will?
