Chapter 157: Grasping the Japs' 7-inch
157 The Japs' Achilles' Heel
"Baga! Ye Qingshan seized the flag of the 117th Regiment?
Yamada Masashi is a waste, he is the sinner of the empire."
When the commander of the Japanese 6th Mixed Brigade, Kunimori Shinichi, saw the sets of photos that Zhou Pingkou had found a way to send over.
He was so angry that he started cursing on the spot.
Because, in these photos of Ye Qingshan.
The picture shows Ye Qingshan standing in front of the toilet with the flag of the 117th Regiment of the Japanese that he had captured.
As long as Ye Qingshan lets go, the Japanese will be granted this side by their emperor himself.
The regimental flag symbolizes their honor and is considered by them to be more important than their own lives.
It will fall into the pit below.
Attached to the photo was a letter from Ye Qingshan to the old devil Guo Shengzhenyi.
"Damn you little devils, if you were still men, we would fight to the death on the battlefield.
Stop it, it’s such a despicable thing to do to me.
Otherwise, I'll stuff this damn regimental flag of yours into the toilet below.
Then, the photos were sent to foreign newspapers to be printed.
Let the whole world know that the regimental flag awarded by your emperor was stuffed into the toilet by me. "
After reading Ye Qingshan's letter, Guo Shengzhen was so angry that he tore it up directly.
"Bakayalu, cunning and sinister Ye Qingshan, I will definitely kill you."
The Japanese brigade commander was really furious.
At this time, the old Japanese soldier Guo Shengzhenyi did not know that the flag of their 117th Regiment had fallen into Ye Qingshan's hands.
Before, they were only certain that the 117th Regiment had been completely wiped out.
But the old Japanese soldier Kunimori Shinichi still thought that the flag of the 117th Regiment should have been burned by the flag guard squad at the last moment.
Unexpectedly, it was seized by Ye Qingshan.
This humiliation to the Japanese was even greater than annihilating their entire regiment.
Therefore, when the old Japanese soldier Kunimori Shinichi was cursing Ye Qingshan, he also did not forget to curse the Japanese soldier Yamada Masashi, the commander of the 117th Regiment who had died in the battle.
It’s true, Ye Qingshan’s threatening letter.
He really has the upper hand over this old devil Kunimori Shinichi.
The truth is, the Japanese regimental flag has too much symbolic significance.
That was awarded personally by their emperor to each of their regiments.
It symbolizes supreme glory.
If it really happened, let Ye Qingshan stuff it into the toilet, then take a photo and publish it in newspapers in the foreign concession.
Let the whole world know that their team flag was stuffed into the toilet.
This kind of humiliation is worse than killing them.
By then, their empire's army will become the laughing stock of the whole world.
When the old devil Guo Shengzhen thought about it, if Ye Qingshan really did this, he would definitely be the first one to suffer.
That guy Yamada Masashi is already dead anyway.
He is the person most directly responsible.
At that time, let alone the Japanese Prince Asaka Naruhiko, the Japanese domestic headquarters and the emperor might have known about it.
And all the other Japanese officers and generals hated him to death.
By that time, it would not be a question of whether the old Japanese soldier Guosheng Zhenyi would live or die.
It’s a question of whether death is painful or not.
Ye Qingshan's move hit the weak spot of the Japanese.
The old devil Guo Shengzhenyi felt aggrieved, but he dared not speak out because he did not want more people to know about it.
Not long after, Zhou Pingkou received a reply from Kunimori Shinichi, the commander of the 6th Mixed Brigade of the Japanese enemy.
“Haha, this old devil is really scared.
Old Ye's trick is very effective."
Zhou Pingkou said with a smile after seeing the letter from the old devil Guo Shengzhenyi.
"However, this old devil actually asked us to return the regiment flag that we seized from them.
How whimsical!
In addition, the commander of the 6th Mixed Brigade of the ground devils, the old devil Kunimori Shinichi, actually wanted to duel with Commander Ye.
Hahahaha, what is this old devil thinking about? "
Zhou Pingkou couldn't help laughing out loud.
Soon, Ye Qingshan also knew about this.
He just smiled coldly and didn't care much.
If it were in the past, Ye Qingshan might have agreed to duel with this Japanese brigade commander.
But now, Ye Qingshan is the real supreme commander of the Nanjing Defense War. He is responsible for the lives and safety of tens of thousands of national troops and hundreds of thousands of civilians.
It is a heavy responsibility.
How could he take the risk again just to kill a Japanese brigade commander?
That's just not worth it.
At this time, let alone the life of a Japanese brigade commander, even the life of a Japanese division commander is not as valuable as Ye Qingshan's.
Immediately, the Japanese from the 6th Mixed Brigade released the captured civilians.
No longer use them as human shields.
"attack!"
Afterwards, the Japanese Sixth Mixed Brigade continued to attack the northwestern urban area defended by Zhou Pingkou's troops.
Moreover, the intensity of the attack has obviously not weakened much.
Even though the Japanese soldier Kunimori Shinichi's Sixth Mixed Brigade only had about 2,000 people left at this time, they still launched a crazy offensive.
There was no way out. The old Japanese soldier Kunimori Shinichi had already received a death order from the command center and had no choice but to attack.
In addition, this time, the old Japanese soldier Guo Shengzhen learned that Ye Qingshan had also seized their regiment flag. After this incident.
The pressure on me is even greater.
He needs military merit, this is his last chance.
Therefore, he didn't care about the casualties of his soldiers at all.
Even if the entire brigade is wiped out, we must achieve results.
Otherwise, he would be dismissed soon, and then he would have no way out.
"Damn it, I thought the Japs' losses in yesterday's battle were much greater than ours.
Today's offensive should be slowed down.
Why is the Japanese attack so fierce today?
How can I train those 1,500 new recruits like this? "
Zhou Pingkou looked at the information sent back by various units on the front line and said with a grim expression.
There was no other way, they could only bear it.
At this time, not only in the northwestern urban area where Zhou Pingkou was located, but in the entire Jinling and various urban areas, there were troops of various national troops fighting with the Japanese troops that entered the city.
Ye Qingshan turned the entire Jinling City into more than a dozen square defense zones of various sizes.
He ordered that all divisions and regiments in Jinling City be dispersed to various defense zones to block the advance of the main force of the Japanese invaders.
Disperse other troops and attack the Japanese invaders entering the city through street fighting.
If you can't win, retreat and use space to buy time.
Once the Japanese invaders penetrated deep into the city, they would have to face attacks from the Kuomintang street fighting squads from all directions at any time.
For a time, some Japanese troops who had advanced deep into the enemy's territory recklessly suffered heavy losses in this regard.
It cost them a lot.
At noon on December 13, it was the fourth day of the Japanese attack on Nanjing City.
Several main divisions of the Japanese devils have already entered the city of Jinling.
Inside the Japanese headquarters outside the city, Prince Asaka Naruhiko looked at the telegrams sent back from the front line with a gloomy face.
