Chapter 109 Reporters accompanying the army
Zhong Yi had already foreseen that the Japanese would definitely start a crazy pursuit.
Shortly after the battle, Zhong Yi decisively took the remnants of the 367th Regiment to evacuate Sheshan Town, and Zhong Yi personally took An Zhenyuan and several behind-the-scenes rear to clear the traces.
At dawn the next day, the remnants of the 367th Regiment had retreated near Tianmashan Town.
Tianmashan Town is named after Tianmashan in the nine peaks of Songjun, and the vegetation in the territory is lush.
Because Tianmashan Town was far away from roads, railways and rivers, it was a remote mountainous area at that time, so the people in the town did not flee on a large scale, and even people from other places fled here to settle down.
After discovering this situation, Zhong Yi decisively found the town office.
Next, the 367th Regiment was waiting for not only continuous fierce battles, but also long-distance forced marches, so the wounded must be settled.
The mayor of Tianmashan Town is an elder who is very wise and agrees at once.
The only thing Zhong Yi could do was to bring all the officers and soldiers of the 367th Regiment to the mayor's marching salute.
Then, I said goodbye to the wounded, and many officers and soldiers and wounded burst into tears, because they knew very well that it would be almost impossible to meet again after we parted today!
However, the battle still has to continue!
After a little rest, Zhong Yi led the remnants of the 367th Regiment to continue to march westward.
At this time, the remaining 367th Regiment had less than 300 people, and there was also a reporter.
Seeing that Xiao Bing was still in the team, Zhong Yi stepped forward and asked, "Reporter Xiao, why haven't you left yet?"
"I don't!" Xiao Bing said with his beautiful red mouth, "I'm still giving you an exclusive interview."
"Didn't I tell you?" Zhong Yi frowned, "I don't have time, I really don't have time to be interviewed."
"Then I'll wait." Xiao Bing said stubbornly, "I can give you an exclusive interview when you have time, right?"
"It's just nonsense!" Zhong Yi said angrily, "You can wait, but we can't wait, and the Japanese won't wait for us, so please leave immediately!"
"Why are you like this?" Xiao Bing's pretty face immediately collapsed.
Xiao Bing is really a little depressed. Since he became an adult, it has been a long time since he has not treated her like this, especially young men. Who is not flocking to her when she sees her?
"I am like this!" Zhong Yi did not have the slightest awareness of being sympathetic, "Go away now!"
Having said that, Zhong Yi cannot be blamed for being cruel, because he is very clear about what the 367th Regiment will face next. If Xiao Bing continues to follow, it will definitely drag down the entire army!
Xiao Bing had no choice but to use his last move and cry!
Xiao Bing did not cry loudly, but just sobbed in a low voice. The pear blossoms looked like raining, I really felt pity for me.
This trick really worked. At least the officers and soldiers of the 367th Regiment were soft-hearted and all looked at Zhong Yi with begging eyes, begging Zhong Yi to let reporter Xiao stay.
Zhong Yi was still unmoved and said coldly: "It's useless to cry, go away quickly!"
"Okay, can't I leave?" Seeing this, Xiao Bing was completely desperate, but still sobbed, "Then it's okay to ask me to take a few photos of you before leaving, right?"
"Photo?" Zhong Yi's heart moved slightly when he heard this, "Did you bring a camera?"
A vague thought instantly jumped out of Zhong Yi's mind!
"Yeah." Xiao Bing immediately rekindled hope, "and brought a lot of film."
"Okay." Zhong Yi weighed the pros and cons, and finally nodded, "It's okay to stay, but you must obey the order! You are not allowed to act without my permission!"
"Yeah." Xiao Bing nodded vigorously.
In this way, Xiao Bing became a military reporter of the 367th Regiment.
At this time, He Ajiu suddenly walked over happily.
"Ayi, congratulations!" He Ajiu said with a smile, "I've been promoted again!"
It took nearly two days for the Military Command to finally go through the full formal procedures and send Zhong Yi's promotion order.
After pausing, He Ajiu launched another telegram from the Military Command and said: "Zhong Yi, the former commander-in-chief of Jinshan County, was promoted to the army major because of his outstanding performance in the Battle of Shanghai, and was appointed as the chief of staff of the 367th Regiment of the 62nd Division of the National Revolutionary Army, the Military Commission of the Republic of China, the Military Command, He Yingqin!"
Hearing this, the officers and soldiers of the 367th Regiment immediately cheered.
First of all, I was happy for Zhong Yi's promotion, but more importantly, it was because from this moment on, Zhong Yi had officially become a member of the 367th Regiment.
Before this, Zhong Yi's official identity was always the staff officer of the 8th Army Command.
But from now on, Zhong Yi is the chief adviser of their 367th Regiment!
The only drawback is that Zhong Yi’s position is a bit low and he was not directly appointed as the leader!
Including the veteran battalion commander of Chu Bangchang, the officers and soldiers of the 367th Regiment hope that Zhong Yi can take over as the regiment commander!
After He Ajiu finished reading, he launched another telegram and said: "Ayi, there is another telegram here, which is directly given to you by the Commander-in-Chief of the Commander-in-Chief of the Commander-in-Chief of the 367th Regiment! The Commander-in-Chief of the Commander-in-Chief of the 367th Regiment and truly assumed the task of commanding and combating the 367th Regiment until the new regiment commander and chief of staff take office."
After pausing, He Ajiu smiled and said, "Ayi, you are the first regiment chief of staff in the country to be directly commanded by the commanding headquarters in history. This is a rare honor."
Zhong Yi reached out to receive the telegram, but he kept sneering in his heart.
It seems that the factions within the country are more serious than he imagined. Even Chairman Jiang cannot act unscrupulously. This can be seen from his promotion and position arrangements!
Otherwise, with his record, will it be swelling again if he directly gives the colonel leader?
However, Zhong Yi didn't care about this. As long as he could command the 367th Regiment, he was the leader of the regiment, the chief of staff or the chief of staff, there was no difference.
What’s important is that he now has a group organization!
With a group, he can do many things and make some preparations for the unrivaled catastrophe that will be within his ability. Zhong Yi dares not say that he has certain ability to turn the tide and avoid the unprecedented catastrophe, but one thing is certain: he will do his best to stop this tragedy!
At that moment, Zhong Yi shouted: "Everything is available, target Kanze Town, drive in at full speed!"
The officers and soldiers of the 367th Regiment who were laughing around Zhong Yi immediately scattered when they heard this. They first lined up in two columns at the fastest speed, then shook their legs and ran towards the ancient town of Jinze.
After getting rid of the heavy burden of the seriously injured, the 367th Regiment's march speed greatly accelerated.
Less than a quarter of an hour, the officers and soldiers of the 367th Regiment disappeared into the dense forest of Tianma Mountain.
Chapter completed!
