The Meiling did not leave immediately after it was launched because Chairman Jiang asked the pilot to fly around for a few times.

As for the same thing, Chairman Jiang likes the city of Nanjing so much, and separation is imminent, and it is still unknown whether he can return to Nanjing again in this life. So even though he knows that the ground is dark and he can't see anything at all, Chairman Jiang still hopes to fly around for a few times.

Chairman Jiang just wanted to take a look at Nanjing!

When he flew to the second circle, tears faintly shone from the corner of Chairman Jiang's eyes.

Mrs. Jiang stretched out her hand and gently held her husband's hand, and found a coldness.

"Darling, don't be too sad," Mrs. Jiang advised, "I believe China will surely win the final victory, and the National Government will definitely return the capital to Nanjing, and it will definitely do it!"

"Sure, I will definitely do it, I will come back!" Chairman Jiang nodded gently, as if he was talking to himself, and as if he was echoing Mrs. Jiang.

"If you believe in your general and your soldiers, they will definitely do it!" Mrs. Jiang pointed to the flames that bloomed from time to time in the southeast direction, and said firmly, "One day they will drive the invaders out of China!"

"Yes, China will not perish!" Chairman Jiang held Mrs. Jiang's small hand hard.

...

At this time, two hundred miles southeast of Nanjing, on the shore of Gucheng Lake.

Zhong Yi suddenly woke up from his sleep, turned over and sat up.

Not far away, Yang Chen immediately sat up and asked in a low voice: "Ayi, what's wrong?"

Zhong Yi shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Old Yang, send me an order, the whole group will gather urgently!"

Seeing Zhong Yi's solemn appearance, Yang Chen did not ask much and quickly ordered the whole group to gather.

In less than five minutes, in addition to Zhu Liangcheng's reconnaissance platoon, more than 2,000 officers and soldiers of the 367th Regiment quickly completed the assembly!

After leaving Xitang more than ten days ago, the 367th Regiment fought dozens of small ambush battles in succession, annihilated dozens of squads sent by the Japanese to rob the countryside, and also collected more than 800 defeated soldiers! These 800 people were all from the Sichuan Army, mainly from the 145th Division, and one of them was a battalion commander named Sun Zhi, who was quite good at it!

When Zhu Liangcheng found him on the battlefield, he mistakenly thought Zhu Liangcheng for the Japanese devils and fought fiercely. Zhu Liangcheng had such a powerful skill and finally got the lottery!

Of course, this has something to do with Zhu Liangcheng's failure to take action.

But it is enough to prove that Sun Zhi is very good!

Therefore, Zhong Yi appointed Sun Zhi as the commander of the Independent 1st Battalion without hesitation.

As of today, the 367th Regiment has more than 2,000 people, and it is a real main group!

The only shortcoming is that the troops' equipment is mostly Japanese equipment and ammunition is even more lacking.

So far, there are less than half a base of ammunition left in the light and heavy machine guns, and there are only a dozen bullets left in the individual soldier!

The ideal of fighting to support war is indeed full, but reality is very skinny. Apart from an ambush in Xitang, the 367th Regiment has no such good luck since then.

The reason is very simple, the Japanese's vigilance has increased!

The baggage troops carrying ammunition have sent a large number of guard infantry!

When the Japanese were alert, it would be difficult for the 367th Regiment to find another opportunity!

No matter how good Zhong Yi is to seize opportunities, no matter how superb the tactical command is, he cannot change the basic laws of war. He only has one regiment of remaining soldiers, and the ammunition is only half a base. In this case, even a medium-strength ambush cannot be maintained. What can I do? The only way is to piecemeal!

However, pieces of work often fail to make ends meet, and the ammunition reserves of the 367th Regiment become even more embarrassing in half a month.

However, a lot of food and meat were seized, because every time the 367th Regiment wiped out a Japanese siege that went to the countryside, it would inevitably seize some of the food, chickens, ducks, cattle, sheep and pigs. After more than half a month, it became a very considerable number. More than two thousand officers and soldiers could eat hard every day, and the more they ate!

Having a full meal every day and having meat every day also brings two major benefits!

First, the physical condition of the officers and soldiers of the 367th Regiment has been greatly improved.

Especially the more than 800 defeated Sichuan Army soldiers from the Independent 1st Battalion, when they were first incorporated, they were all pale and thin, and fell down as soon as the wind blew. Now they were all red and walked with wind!

The second advantage is that the army's cohesion has been greatly improved!

The newly recruited Sichuan Army was still defeated. Since the attack on Sichuan, people have been disliked everywhere they go. They rolled their eyes and had to beg grandpa for a little food. When did they be treated equally?

However, since he entered the 367th Regiment, his treatment was the same as that of Zhong Yi's iron-core 3rd battalion. Every day, he had big bowls of white rice and large pieces of meat, which was very powerful!

After Zhong Yi's slutty operation, more than 800 Sichuan Army did not say that they followed Zhong Yi wholeheartedly, but they were unquestionable to be grateful to Zhong Yi! When did the chiefs of the Central Army pay attention to them like this, right?

Therefore, although the 367th Regiment is composed of a group of defeated soldiers, the cohesion of the troops is very high!

The wind was biting at night, but the more than 2,000 officers and soldiers of the 367th Regiment straightened their backs.

Zhong Yi and Leng Jun's eyes slowly swept across the faces of the soldiers in the front row, and finally said in a deep voice: "Brothers, from this moment on, our tactics will be adjusted!"

After a moment of pause, Zhong Yi said again: "Now we can no longer stay behind enemy lines and raid the prisoners sent to the countryside to sweep, just like before, but must participate in an unprecedentedly tragic war!"

More than two thousand soldiers were shocked when they heard this, because this meant that their good days were about to end.

Zhong Yi looked back leisurely, looked at the direction of Nanjing to the northwest, and said, "The Japanese have reached the periphery of Nanjing City, and our capital Nanjing is about to fall. Therefore, we must participate in the war to defend the capital!"

"I don't want to deceive everyone. This battle will be very tragic. Many brothers here, including myself, and even all of our brothers will die in battle! Originally, as a soldier, defending the country and defending the capital is our natural mission, and it is our unavoidable responsibility, but I am still willing to give you a chance!"

After pausing at this point, Zhong Yi emphasized and said, "If you don't want to participate, you can take off your military uniform and leave. I, Zhong Yi, promised in the name of the party and the country that I will never be embarrassed!"

Zhong Yi is betting that these remaining soldiers are all bloody!

Whether it is the Northeast Army, Sichuan Army, the Teaching Corps or the Tax Police Corps, they have already fought with the Japanese for more than a dozen battles. They have too many robes to die at the hands of the Japanese. Such bloody hatred, coupled with the hatred of the country, even if they have a little blood, they will definitely not be deserters at this time!

The cold wind is silent, and the shores of Gucheng Lake are silent.

Zhong Yi had the right bet, and none of them wanted to be a deserter!
Chapter completed!
