116 Song and Deng's Decision
“I asked Ye Qingshan before about the strategy for the defense of Mufu Mountain.
As a result, the plan he gave me was quite mediocre, which disappointed me a little.
Now it seems that my brother Ye did not tell us the truth at the beginning.
On the surface, they told us that they were defending Hill 132, but in fact they were aiming to ambush the Japanese Sixth Independent Mixed Brigade.
I am just curious now, how Ye Qingshan knew that the Japanese Sixth Independent Mixed Brigade was going to send troops south to launch a surprise attack on the Lion Rock position.
In the telegram, he said that the Japanese were about to enter the ambush circle.
I hope we can send troops to tie down the Japanese 13th Division here so that they cannot rescue this Japanese regiment.
If this is true, it would be no problem for Ye Qingshan to send troops to deal with this Japanese army.
If the Japanese really launch a surprise attack on Lion Mountain, our defensive position on Shogun Mountain will be attacked from both sides.
Just based on this battlefield sense, our brother Ye is quite something!"
Song Xilian has always been interested in Ye Qingshan, and even more so at this time.
"Okay, Commander Song, stop analyzing this here.
I know what you said.
But now is not the time to talk about this.
Now, we should not worry about how Ye Qingshan knew about the Japanese Sixth Independent Mixed Brigade and sent troops south to attack Lion Mountain.
I fully support stopping the Japanese from attacking Lion Rock.
We just need to send someone to notify the defenders at the Lion Rock position and ask them to pay more attention.
Now Ye Qingshan chose to ambush the Japanese regiment heading south.
The key is that it seems to have really made him successful.
But the problem lies precisely in the fact that he succeeded.
That was an entire regiment of the Japanese invaders. How could Ye Qingshan defeat them with just the few thousand men he had?
If he can't eat anymore, he will be the one who dies of overeating.
Now, look, here comes the telegram asking us to help contain the Japanese 13th Division.
This is not the most important thing.
Even if we helped him to contain the Japanese 13th Division, there were still more than 4,000 remnants of the Japanese 6th Independent Mixed Brigade to the north of them.
These four thousand people can pass through in a few hours. What can he do to stop them?
This Ye Qingshan is really young and energetic. After winning a few battles, he really doesn't take the Japanese seriously.
He will suffer a great loss if he does this.”
Commander Deng was really anxious, as he had a good impression of Ye Qingshan.
Not only did he save my life, but he was also very respectful and generous to me as an elder.
But it was this arrogance that made Commander Deng very worried.
“No, I must send a telegram to stop him.
I can’t watch him die.”
Commander Deng said.
"Okay, Commander Deng, don't waste your energy.
I just had someone call back and they were on radio silence.
I guess the Japs really fell into their ambush circle.
Now, none of us can stop Ye Qingshan from fighting.
The other party obviously did this on purpose.
At this time, there was no sound of Japanese artillery fire from the east, which meant that the ambush had not yet begun.
When you hear the sound of cannon fire, it means they have already started fighting.
Now, what we have to worry about is not stopping him.
The question is whether or not to help him contain the Japanese 13th Division."
Song Xilian smiled bitterly and shook his head. He was very unhappy with Ye Qingshan's deceptive behavior.
"Damn it, can we just sit there and watch that guy get wiped out by the Japanese?
I definitely want to help.
That guy just saved my life yesterday, if I don’t help him today.
I will be called ungrateful."
Deng Longguang said this with a worried look on his face, and continued: “But our mission is to defend the Mufu Mountain position.
If we lose too many troops in order to contain the Japanese 13th Division.
We really won’t be able to defend Mufu Mountain.”
Commander Deng was in a dilemma and wanted to help Ye Qingshan, but he was also under tremendous pressure as he was facing more than 10,000 troops from the Japanese 13th Division.
At this time, Song Xilian gave a solution.
“Commander Deng, don’t worry.
In his telegram, Ye Qingshan did not ask us to mobilize our entire army to help him stop the Japanese 13th Division.
He predicted that the Japanese 13th Division would not send troops eastward for rescue at the beginning.
The commander of the Japanese 13th Division must have believed that the Japanese 6th Independent Mixed Brigade could handle these things on his own.
I agree with Ye Qingshan's opinion on this point.
Therefore, unless there is any sign that the Japanese 13th Division is moving eastward again, we will try to find a way to contain them.
It's easy to contain them. The several passages leading east from here are currently in our hands.
It should be no problem to hold off the Japanese there for a while.
As for Ye Qingshan, there is nothing we can do and we can only wait and see how he performs.
Since he dares to take such a risk, he can't be completely unprepared.
Although I have only met Brother Ye a few times, I can feel that this guy is not a reckless person.
He must have someone to rely on.”
Song Xilian's words calmed Zheng Longguang's impatient mood a lot.
"Then according to what Commander Song said, we both have to sacrifice our lives to accompany the gentleman this time?"
Deng Longguang has also been testing Song Xilian's attitude.
If Song Xilian was determined not to help, Deng Longguang would not dare to risk his own and his men's military career.
"Correct!"
Seeing Song Xilian’s statement, Deng Longguang also laughed: “Okay, since your 36th Division dares to do it.
Our 83rd Army is not a coward either."
"Pass on my order. Keep a close eye on the movements of the 13th Division of the Japanese. If there are any signs of them moving eastward, report immediately."
Deng Longguang gave the order immediately.
"Commander Deng, let's not report this matter to the headquarters for now."
Song Xilian continued.
“I understand.
Things have come to this, what's the point of reporting it now.
Let's wait and see if Ye Qingshan can create another miracle."
Just when Deng Longguang and Song Xilian decided to help Ye Qingshan to contain the Japanese 13th Division when necessary.
On Ye Qingshan's side, the 117th Regiment of the Japanese Sixth Independent Mixed Brigade, which was heading south, finally and slowly entered the ambush circle set up by Ye Qingshan.
The army of more than 3,000 devils stretched for several miles.
Ye Qingshan was standing on a distant mountain at this time, staring at the Japanese army through a telescope, and he was extremely nervous.
They were worried that the Japanese would discover their ambush team in advance.
When more than half of the Japanese troops entered the ambush circle, Ye Qingshan's heart finally settled down a little.
At this time, Colonel Yamada Masashi, commander of the Japanese 117th Regiment, was riding on a warhorse, looking at the hills on both sides.
The atmosphere around him always made him feel weird.
"Matsumoto-kun, don't you feel that the atmosphere in this area is a little weird?"
The Japanese captain Yamada suddenly spoke to a lieutenant colonel officer next to him.
"Nani? Your Excellency, Captain, have you noticed anything?"
When the Japanese lieutenant colonel heard Colonel Yamada say this suddenly, he thought he had discovered something and immediately became alert.
