Early the next morning, Ye Song finished preparing his troops and sent 3000 men to defend the west of Yuhuatai to prevent the Japanese from advancing again. Then, he led 2000 men to the south of Yuhuatai to help Xie Chengrui.
"General, general!"
A guard hurriedly ran into the residence of the commander-in-chief of Nanjin City. The commander-in-chief of Nanjin City's Wushou, Tang Shenzhi, was holding an exquisite teapot that was said to be from the Tang Dynasty. He was drinking tea while playing with birds. He turned his back and did not look up at all.
"What's the rush? If there's anything, take your time."
It was hard to imagine that while the soldiers on the front line were desperately defending the city, their commander-in-chief was still leisurely drinking tea and playing with birds. It seemed that Ye Song's anger at this person was not without reason.
The guard who came in to report obviously ran all the way here. He was sweating profusely and panting, so he couldn't speak clearly.
"General, General, Front Line, Front Line!"
Tang Shenzhi was so frightened that he almost dropped the priceless teapot in his hand. He turned around and asked anxiously,
"What's wrong with the front line? Did the Japanese attack?"
"Sigh! I originally thought that no matter how unbearable Nanjin is, it would at least be guarded for a few days. I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it!"
"This, this city has been breached in just two days?”
Tang Shenzhi paced back and forth anxiously like an ant on a hot pan, muttering to himself.
The guard saw the commander's expression and hurriedly explained.
"No, General, it's not the city that's broken, it's Ye Song, Commander Song!"
"Ye Song? What happened to him? Aiya, tell me quickly!"
"Commander Ye Song, he, he successfully defeated the Japanese in the west of Yuhuatai, and left more than 20,000 corpses of the Japanese. With him, there was also Commander Xie Chengrui, who came to discuss the attack with you last time."
" Commander Xie only sent 800 men. The rest was all thanks to Commander Song. Now that Commander Song has won the battle, he is on his way to support Commander Xie with his subordinates."
The guard finally regained his senses and finished the battle report from the front line without taking a breath.
"Pa ji!"
With a crisp sound, the priceless Tang Dynasty teapot in Tang Shenzhi's hand finally fell to the ground and shattered. However, he did not care about his heartache and immediately said with a trembling voice,
"You... Are you telling the truth?"
"General, it's absolutely true!"
After receiving the reply, Tang Shenzhi no longer cared about the teapot or the birds. He anxiously ordered the guards to guard the place.
" Quick, quick, report this matter to the highest command and Headmaster Chang."
Some people were happy while others were worried. Shoufu Tani, who had fled in defeat, took the remaining 2,000 men and retreated to the 114th division of the Japanese soldiers in the south of Yuhuatai. Although the commander of the 114th division of the Japanese soldiers couldn't see through Shoufu Tani, he still accepted him.
At the same time, the highest commander of the Central Chinese Army, Matsui Ishigen, received the news of Gu Shoufu's defeat and ordered him to cooperate with the 114 Division. If he could take Yuhuatai, he would let bygones be bygones. If he couldn't take the telegram, it wasn't detailed, but it was enough to make Gu Shoufu tremble with fear.
At the same time, General Matsui didn't show any anger towards Song Ye. Instead, he ordered people to send a message to the troops guarding Nanjin City, promising that if Song Ye was willing to surrender, he would be given the rank of lieutenant general and a full division of troops.
After the telegram was sent, Matsui received a reply very quickly. The reply was only a few words.
"I'll surrender to your grandpa!"
Seeing the reply, the commander of the Japanese army laughed instead of getting angry.
"This child can be of great use.”
This interesting news was spread to the highest command of the Republic of China along with the news from the front line. Principal Chang looked at the telegram and could not hide the smile on his face.
"Good, good, good. This is the son of my Song family."
Three consecutive 'good's were enough to show how happy this supreme commander was. The various armies and generals were discussing this matter. At the start of the Guangde ambush, there were still many people who didn't believe in Song Ye, but as the news of victory spread, more and more people began to admire Song Ye.
News of the victory spread to the people, and all the major newspapers made headlines. The people shouted Ye Song's name on the streets, causing a huge sensation among the people.
"Hey, did you hear? Commander Song won another battle!"
" Isn't that so? I heard that out of all the generals in Nanjin, only Little Commander Song won."
"When I grow up, I want to fight the Japanese too. I want to be Commander Song's subordinate."
.......
In the past few days, no matter whether it was men or women, old or young, everyone had smiles on their faces. An old man was reading the newspaper with red eyes.
"Hey, old man, you should be happy that you won, but why are you crying?"
The old man turned around so that his wife could not see him wiping his tears
"Who said I was crying? Besides, our Republic of China has such a hero. So what if I cry?"
"Even if my old man can't lift a knife, he has to go to the front line to kill the devils."
"Sigh, forget it, forget it. It's time to exercise my muscles and bones when I'm old."
After saying this, the old man stood up and wrote down
"I'll sacrifice my life for the country, not asking when I'll return home."
"The heroic young man of the Song family is full of ambition to annihilate the enemy and kill the bandits."
"The sky is grey and the earth is vast."
"When the enemy is killed, every family will brew wine."
The next day, the poem made the headlines of all the major newspapers. The headline was " The Great Author of the Republic of China, Zhang Dingyuan Inscribes a Poem for Hero Song Ye." Everyone was talking about it with relish.
