150 Hijacking Tang Shengzhi's Motorcade
On the afternoon of the 12th, everything was normal in Tang Shengzhi's headquarters.
Ning Yongchen felt a little uneasy.
"Hey, Chief of Staff Ning, what's wrong with you?
You seem to be in a trance these past two days. Are you sick?"
A national army officer nearby looked at Ning Yongchen, who had been absent-minded for the past two days, and asked.
"Um, it's okay."
Ning Yongchen waved his hand.
After walking away, Ning Yongchen couldn't help but look towards the command center where Tang Shengzhi was.
“No, Senior Ye was always joking.
Commander Tang had said before that he would live and die with the city of Jinling.
How could they suddenly order a retreat?
Besides, there are now a hundred thousand troops outside the city, fighting the Japanese invaders in a fierce battle.
Giving a retreat order at this time would be tantamount to disregarding the lives of the soldiers.
Senior Ye must have made a mistake."
Ning Yongchen comforted himself and returned to his job.
As a result, half an hour later, a whistle for an emergency assembly suddenly sounded in the headquarters.
"what happened?"
Ning Yongchen came out and asked an officer.
"I don't know either. Commander Tang has ordered all officers in the headquarters to assemble immediately."
After Ning Yongchen arrived.
They did not see Tang Shengzhi, but only saw a major general chief of staff of the National Army, who gave them an order: "Commander Tang has ordered that all confidential information be destroyed.
An hour later, the headquarters moved.
This is top secret and must not be disclosed to anyone.
Get back to action.”
After Ning Yongchen heard this, his head felt like it exploded.
He was very clear about this step. It was a sign that the headquarters was about to retreat.
To say it is transferring sounds nice, but in reality it is just retreating and running away.
"How could this happen? Commander Tang is really going to retreat?
What about the defenders of Jinling City and hundreds of thousands of civilians?
Did so many soldiers on the front line die in vain?"
Ning Yongchen just felt that he was filled with anger but had no place to vent it.
Finally, after hesitating for a moment, Ning Yongchen walked to the phone in the telegraph room to make a call.
But he was stopped by another officer.
"The Chief of Staff asked me to call and confirm whether the ferry boat at the 36th Division in Xiaguan is ready?"
Ning Yongchen explained that only then was he qualified to make the phone call.
Ning Yongchen was in Song Xilian's 36th Division. After finishing the call, he took advantage of the fact that there was no one around.
He immediately dialed the phone number of Ye Qingshan’s military camp outside the city.
"Commander Tang has ordered you to prepare the boat for the ferry."
Ye Qingshan didn't say anything over there, but after hearing Ning Yongchen's words, he understood everything.
"Brother Ning, I was right, wasn't I?
I'm glad you made this call.
Leave the rest to me.
Please help me protect the headquarters' radio and code book.
Otherwise, don’t do anything.”
After Ning Yongchen hung up the phone, he still didn't understand what Ye Qingshan was going to do.
Ye Qingshan did not tell Ning Yongchen about his attempt to seize power.
At this time, only Ye Qingshan himself knew that he had to take direct action against Tang Shengzhi.
Even the veterans who followed him only knew that Ye Qingshan was going to take them to carry out a dangerous plan.
They don't know what it is specifically.
Ye Qingshan will tell them at the last moment before the action.
Ning Yongchen also thought that Ye Qingshan would stop Tang Shengzhi's retreat by reporting to the principal.
Ning Yongchen never thought that Ye Qingshan was going to lead people to seize power.
This may be the difference between the officers of the National Army and Ye Qingshan at this time.
Ye Qingshan dared to do things that these Kuomintang officers did not dare to do or even think about.
At seven o'clock in the evening, Ning Yongchen watched with his own eyes in the telegraph room as the telegraph operator issued the order for the entire army to retreat.
Ning Yongchen couldn't help but close his eyes. Things were just as Ye Qingshan said.
As expected, Tang Shengzhi issued an order for the entire army to retreat before the headquarters began to evacuate.
Ning Yongchen could imagine how angry and desperate the soldiers on the front line would be when they received this retreat telegram.
There are devils everywhere, and both sides have fought to this extent.
Talking about retreating at this time is simply a joke.
"Hey!"
Ning Yongchen sighed, there was nothing he could do.
"Senior Ye, everything depends on you."
Although Ning Yongchen didn't know what Ye Qingshan was going to do, he still held a glimmer of hope in his heart.
Not long after the telegram was sent, Ning Yongchen followed Tang Shengzhi's headquarters and began to retreat towards the Xiaguan Ferry.
Even Tang Shengzhi took his own guard company and set off first.
The large civilian staff of the headquarters was left behind.
At 7:15, Tang Shengzhi's motorcade left the south gate of Jinling City and headed straight for the Xiaguan Ferry.
What Tang Shengzhi didn't know was that it was right on his way to the Xiaguan Ferry.
The eight hundred veterans led by Ye Qingshan have set up a checkpoint and are lying in ambush here.
When Tang Shengzhi's convoy arrived here, it was forced to stop.
"What's going on ahead? Why did the convoy stop?"
Tang Shengzhi was sitting in the car. When he found that his car had stopped, he shouted angrily.
At this time, on the road ahead, Ye Qingshan was pointing a gun at the head of Tang Shengzhi, the company commander of the guard company.
"Tell your people to lay down their weapons and surrender. All those who surrender their weapons will not be killed."
Ye Qingshan said to the captain of the guard company.
"General Ye, what are you going to do?
Do you know whose car is behind that?
It's Commander Tang's fault. What you do is rebellion and insubordination.
You are going to be court-martialed.”
The captain of the guard company had a gun pointed at his head and did not dare to move, but he still did not forget to threaten Ye Qingshan.
Unfortunately, since Ye Qingshan has done it, why would he be afraid of such threats?
The eight hundred veterans around Ye Qingshan pointed their submachine guns at them.
“These are all my business, Ye, you don’t need to worry about them.
You are all Chinese, I don't want to kill you.
Tell your men to lay down their arms and surrender.”
"it is good!"
In the end, the guard company commander compromised.
They had no choice but to compromise, as Ye Qingshan had so many soldiers surrounding them.
The guns were pointed at them, and if they dared to move, they would probably be shot to death.
At this time, there is no point in resisting.
If he really died in his own hands, it would be a truly unjust death.
Since it involves a struggle among high-level officials, there is nothing he can do as a mere company commander, so just let them be.
Soon, Tang Shengzhi's guard company was completely disarmed by the veterans under Ye Qingshan.
Ye Qingshan strode to Tang Shengzhi's car door and opened it.
"Commander Tang, please get out of the car.
I have been ordered to come here to protect Commander Tang."
Ye Qingshan looked at Tang Shengzhi, whose face looked extremely ugly, and said with a sneer.
"Ye Qingshan, what are you going to do? Do you want to rebel and betray your country?
Whose orders are you taking to protect me?
It's nonsense.
I will now give you one last chance to have your men lay down their weapons, and I will forgive you for this matter."
Tang Shengzhi issued an ultimatum to Ye Qingshan.
But even though the old guy said this, his hands were shaking slightly.
He didn't understand that the time and route of his convoy's retreat were highly confidential.
How did Ye Qingshan know and ambush here in advance.
However, he understood that this matter would most likely not end well tonight.
At this time, he was also holding on, hoping to intimidate Ye Qingshan with the charge of treason and save the situation.
