This snap was not the sound of a bolt hitting, but the sound of the camera shutter.

Looking back, Zhong Yi saw several reporters standing under the awning not far away, holding cameras at the Eighth and Ninth Dynasties.

Zhong Yi was also happy to see this.

After the promotion of the Eighth Regiment and the Ninth Regiment, the training of the Eighth Regiment caused a great sensation in the entire city of Yinjiang and even Zhejiang Province. In addition to greatly increasing the patriotic enthusiasm of the military and civilians across the province, it also greatly increased the sense of honor and confidence of the officers and soldiers of the Eighth Regiment, the Ninth Regiment and even the entire Zhejiang East China Sea Defense Corps.

Especially before the lights are turned off every night, Zhong Yi would arrange for literate officers and soldiers to read newspapers, and read articles reported on their training in Yinjiang Daily. After listening to the article, the fatigue caused by the training of officers and soldiers can be greatly reduced immediately. The facts prove that this effect is very good.

Of course, there are negative effects.

This negative effect is to attract the Japanese bombing aircraft.

Since the reports of the Eighth and Ninth Regiments were seen in newspapers, the Japanese bombers and fighters have come to harass each day, sometimes throwing a few aviation bombs, and sometimes they just fire indiscriminately.

Although there were no substantial casualties, the impact was still very large.

Fortunately, within a few days, the 500 Dshk anti-aircraft machine guns ordered from the Soviet Union were safely transported to Yinjiang.

After the sixteen anti-aircraft machine gun positions built around the Jiangdong University Campus were equipped with Dshk anti-aircraft machine guns, they immediately posed a fatal threat to the Japanese flying institutions that were harassing.

After losing two planes in a row, the Japanese finally restrained themselves a lot, changing from harassment every day to once every three days or even once a week.

To put it bluntly, the Japanese planes are also very valuable and have no practical value to the bombing of the Jiangdong campus. What impact can they have if they kill a few Chinese soldiers? On the contrary, the risk is extremely great. The Japanese senior generals are not stupid pigs, so this kind of loss-making transaction will certainly not be done for a long time.

So Zhong Yi doesn't mind the reports of various reporters.

However, when a photographer pointed the lens at him, Zhong Yi was finally unhappy.

Zhong Yi whispered to Xu Chao. Xu Chao immediately understood and walked straight to the photographer and said in a deep voice: "Hello, gentleman, please delete the photos of us attending the seat!"

"Why?" said the photographer, "I am a reporter from the Central Daily News."

"No matter which newspaper reporter you are, delete the photos immediately." Xu Chao said toughly, "Otherwise, we can only confiscate your camera."

"Why?" reporter from the Central Daily News, "I also have good intentions and want Chief Zhong to show his face."

"No need." Zhong Yi walked over and said, "I know you wanted to promote me out of good intentions, but I really don't need it, and I don't think I have anything to promote."

The reporter said: "Chief Zhong is humble, you are a combat hero."

"I am not humble, nor do I think I am a combat hero." Zhong Yi said, "The real hero is the vast number of officers and soldiers of the Coast Defense Corps, and the elders and fellow villagers of the transport teams of each county, town, and township!"

After pausing, Zhong Yi said again: "So, you should vigorously report on the officers and soldiers of the Coast Defense Corps, and you should vigorously report on the elders and fellow villagers who support Hou Yin of the Coast Defense Corps."

The reporter said: "Chief Zhong means that only by relying on the bloody battle of all the officers and soldiers of the Coast Defense Corps and by relying on the help of all the people of Yinjiang City to transport materials, can we defeat the Japanese and defend Yinjiang, right?"

"Yes." Zhong Yi nodded and said, "You have seen the Eighth Regiment of the Coast Defense Corps and the Ninth Regiment. Next, I will go to Xiaogang Town to inspect the transportation team. Why don't you go with me?"

"Okay." More than a dozen media reporters present agreed happily.

At that time, Zhong Yi transferred a truck from the headquarters and brought these dozen reporters straight to Xiaogang Town.

About an hour later, Zhong Yi's car and a truck carrying more than a dozen reporters arrived at Xiaogang Town and parked outside the Zhao Family Ancestral Hall outside the town.

Here, it is necessary to say first that Zhong Yi’s three detachments of the Coastal Defense Corps are all combat troops, and there is no Hou Yin troops in the establishment table.

The three detachments have more than 30,000 officers and soldiers, all of which are combat troops!

Because the Zhejiang East China Sea Defense Corps is still different from the regular army after all.

The regular army is a pure combat force. With one order on the top, half of China may be defeated by orders.

But this is not the case with the Zhejiang East Coast Defense Corps. The only responsibility of the Zhejiang East Coast Defense Corps is to defend Yinjiang, so they will only fight locally in Yinjiang and will not be transferred elsewhere.

In view of this, Zhong Yi simply saved the Houyin support force.

This saves not only huge funds, but also more valuable manpower.

Because it is a local war, logistics support can be completely dependent on local people.

So in this month, another job of Zhong Yi was to form a transportation team.

In principle, a county must form a transportation detachment, a town must form a transportation brigade, and a village must form a transportation brigade.

The transport team comes with its own tools, and the city government provides two meals a day.

What Zhong Yi inspected today was the Xiaogang Town Transportation Team.

Outside the ancestral hall, more than 2,000 civilians from the Xiaogang Town Transportation Team have completed the assembly.

Zhong Yi looked through the car window and saw that most of the transportation teams were middle-aged and even elderly people, as well as many children who were still young and strong.

After all, a town has limited manpower. After providing more than two thousand young and middle-aged people to the Coast Defense Corps, they could not gather so many young and strong people, so the transportation team could only recruit elderly people and children.

So it is completely imagined how much impact it will have on the agricultural production in Xiaogang Town when the battle begins.

However, even so, Zhong Yi had no choice, and the people of Xiaogang Town had no other choice. It was their duty to defend their country. It would be better to delay the farming season than to be a slave to the country.

Standing at the front of the transport team was Mr. Zhao Xingjiu, who was both white and white.

Seeing Zhong Yi's Ford car, Zhao Xingjiu immediately took two steps forward and acted to open the car door.

Zhong Yi didn't dare to let the old man open the door, so he quickly opened the car door and complained: "My man, what are you doing?"

Zhao Xingjiu smiled and stood upright and said, "Report to Chief of Staff Zhong, 2,108 people from Xiaogang Town Transportation Brigade were ordered to gather together. Please review it."

As soon as he finished speaking, more than two thousand people stood attentively.

From this point alone, we can see that these more than 2,000 people have also received preliminary training.

Zhong Yi nodded subconsciously and then asked Zhao Xingjiu again: "Old man, if the battle starts, he will take away more than two thousand manpower at once, can the farm work in the town be busy?"

Zhao Xingjiu said, "You don't have to worry about this."
