145 One Hundred Thousand Youths and One Hundred Thousand Soldiers
Tang Shengzhi was very satisfied after Ye Qingshan left the headquarters.
Ye Qingshan was equally satisfied.
"Commander, Ye Qingshan's Japanese regiment flag has not been handed in yet?"
Someone said to Tang Shengzhi.
"What's there to hand over? Just a flag.
Since Ye Qingshan has already handed over his military power, he can just be a mascot in the army in the future.
That Japanese regiment flag is his honor.
Even if you ask for it, he won't give it to you.
Just leave it to him."
Ye Qingshan also achieved the results he wanted.
After he obtained the power to organize the people to defend themselves in the city, Tang Shengzhi would not hinder him in doing things next.
Of course, this was what Ye Qingshan had exchanged for his military power.
“There is no time to lose, we must act quickly.
I remember that in ten days, the Japs would break into the city."
Ye Qingshan walked on the street, watching the panicked people rushing to buy supplies everywhere, thinking about his next plan.
Rumble!
The sound of artillery fire outside could already be heard clearly.
In fact, at this time, a small number of the Japanese troops attacking outside the city had already approached the city gate.
Fortunately, the front-line troops of the National Army were retreating and losing the battle.
However, there are no signs of complete defeat.
However, Ye Qingshan knew that it would take less than two days for the war situation in Jinling City to become completely deteriorating.
As the Japanese invaders break into the city, Jinling will fall into complete chaos.
After suffering heavy losses, the morale of the Nationalist troops increased.
In the end, Tang Shengzhi's ridiculous retreat order would instantly cause the morale of hundreds of thousands of national troops to collapse.
Then it began, each of them breaking out tragically.
The old soldiers and wounded soldiers trapped in the city had only one fate: death.
The entire city’s residents will also be affected.
Ye Qingshan has already formulated an action plan against the top leaders of the National Army and will not allow Tang Shengzhi's ridiculous retreat to happen again.
But he had to make preparations for both scenarios, the other of which was aimed at the people in the city.
"It would be very difficult to completely defeat the Japanese offensive against Nanjing with only a few hundred thousand national troops.
As the capital at that time, the Japanese were determined to take Nanjing.
Unless the Japanese were completely hurt and suffered heavy casualties in Jinling City.
Perhaps, it is possible to force the Japanese to withdraw.
However, to achieve this, it is impossible to rely solely on the current national army troops near Nanjing.
However, there are still hundreds of thousands of people in the city, including tens of thousands of young and strong people.
The mountains and rivers were broken, every inch of them was soaked in blood, one hundred thousand young men and one hundred thousand soldiers.
If only I could mobilize these hundreds of thousands of young and strong men in the city.
Next, if the Japanese dare to enter Jinling City to fight street battles, this place will be their grave."
In Ye Qingshan's view, after the Japanese invaders broke into the city, the people in the city were like lambs to be slaughtered.
What Ye Qingshan needs to do is to arm these lambs and turn them into ferocious beasts with horns and sharp claws.
In fact, Ye Qingshan had already started implementing this plan.
From the very beginning, Ye Qingshan warned the people in the city.
As of yesterday, Ye Qingshan asked Zhou Xinghai to print and distribute photos of the Japanese slaughtering the villagers of Linjiazhuang in the city.
They are all implementing this plan imperceptibly.
At the beginning, Ye Qingshan's warnings did have little effect.
But yesterday, the exposure of the Japanese massacre finally had some effect.
After Ye Qingshan returned to the military camp, he immediately transferred a battalion from Sun Mingxu to cooperate with him.
Sun Mingxu naturally agreed without saying anything.
Tang Shengzhi thought that if Ye Qingshan was not given a new military position, Ye Qingshan would not be able to mobilize any troops.
It just goes to show that this old guy is too naive.
At this time, with Ye Qingshan's reputation, he did not need any position in the city.
He can also command many veterans of the National Army.
Especially the soldiers who were defeated from the front line at this time.
Ye Qingshan directly blocked the city gate, appeased them, and then took the opportunity to recruit Zhou Pingkou, Sun Mingxu and others.
These defeated soldiers who retreated from the front line were unruly and could not be defeated by anyone.
When facing Ye Qingshan, he was truly impressed and willing to accept Ye Qingshan's adaptation.
There was no other way. Ye Qingshan wiped out an entire Japanese regiment without suffering casualties on a one-to-one basis, killed the regiment commander, and seized the regiment's flag.
Now the news has spread privately among the soldiers of the National Army.
Ye Qingshan immediately became the object of their worship.
They would rather accept Ye Qingshan's adaptation than anyone else's.
In the next two days, Ye Qingshan was extremely busy.
On the one hand, in the city, Ye Qingshan issued orders.
All the young men over 18 and 50 in the city were organized into groups of three streets.
Ye Qingshan sent a squad of veterans to every three streets to serve as instructors for these young and strong men.
Teach them how to use firearms and how to fight in teams.
On the other hand, Ye Qingshan ordered that all civilian supplies in the city, especially food, cotton cloth and other important weapons, be collected and used together.
In particular, several major grain merchants in the city were the focus of Ye Qingshan's attention.
Ye Qingshan found out after asking Ning Yongchen to investigate through his connections.
At this time in Jinling City, several major grain merchants were still hoarding large amounts of grain.
This is incredible.
If the Japanese capture the city, all this food will be given to them at once.
Ye Qingshan knew very well what these businessmen were thinking.
It's simply that they feel that even if the Japanese come, they will still be given important positions.
However, Ye Qingshan will not give them this opportunity.
"Sir, the Wei family said that we cannot take away any grain from their warehouse.
He also said that we'd better be sensible.
Don't bother them anymore.
Otherwise, even if you go, you will suffer the consequences.
There are people on them.”
The soldier who was driven back said this to Ye Qingshan.
“Hmph, okay.
They are determined to become traitors.
In this case, don't blame me for being cruel.
However, it is indeed not convenient to move them for the time being.
If we touch them now, it will definitely attract the attention of Tang Shengzhi and others, and we won't be able to do anything to them then.
Let them be arrogant for two more days, and then arrange the affairs of organizing the young and strong people in the city.
I'll deal with them in two days."
Ye Qingshan said with a sneer.
Then, Ye Qingshan rushed to Alice's shelter.
At this time, Alice and Pete were already the persons in charge of the entire shelter, and they were very busy during this period.
"Ye, you are finally here."
When Alice saw Ye Qingshan, she rushed over and gave him a hug.
Compared to the reserved Han Qiaoqian, Alice is more lively and cheerful, and is better at expressing her emotions.
This may be the difference between Westerners and Chinese people in terms of emotions.
“Two days ago, they said you died a martyr for your country.
I do not believe.
Sure enough, God bless you, you are fine! "
Alice looked up at Ye Qingshan, her eyes full of joy.
"I'm fine. I'm just a little injured. I won't die."
Ye Qingshan gently pushed Alice away and said.
