The entire 10th Army of the Japanese was forced to take a detour.

However, it is not easy for the 367th Regiment to achieve such a record. Although Zhong Yi's outstanding tactical command is important, it is inseparable from the sacrifice of the entire regiment's officers and soldiers.

When the 367th Regiment just arrived in Jinshan County, there were two main battalions and a guard company, with more than a thousand officers and soldiers! This was not calculated yet. The 3rd Battalion, which was originally left in Jinshan Guard.

However, now, most of the more than a thousand officers and soldiers have suffered casualties. Even if Wang Zilong's 3rd battalion, there are only less than 600 people left!

In addition, more than 500 people were killed or injured by Wei Minzhuang in Jinshan.

The more than 1,500 people from Jinshan County followed Zhong Yi, and there are still about 900 people left. Almost all of the people who joined the second battalion before died heroically!

In other words, after a fierce battle in one day, more than a thousand soldiers of the 367th Regiment and Kingsoft Wei Minzhuang sacrificed a total of more than one thousand people. Such a casualty ratio is undoubtedly very scary!

War has always been so cruel!

Sacrifice always comes quietly!

At this time, Zhong Yi was standing in front of the lookout hole on the first floor of the Traffic Building.

Since the Japanese stopped shelling in the evening, Zhong Yi has been standing here.

Seeing the last light disappearing from the western sky, but the Japanese still had no movement, Zhong Yi finally breathed a long sigh of relief and turned to Zhang Kongyi, who was wrapped in gauze on his head, saying, "The Japanese will not attack again today."

Zhang Kongyi nodded and agreed, because the Japanese almost did not fight night battles in the Battle of Shanghai.

Zhong Yi said again: "But we must not be careless, so it is necessary to guard the night time, and we must set up double posts, not afraid of ten thousand, just afraid of anything!"

While the two of them were talking, Prince Long walked in with his head down.

Zhong Yi immediately asked: "Captain Wang, how many remains have been retrieved?"

It turns out that just now, Wang Zilong took his men to the battlefield to collect the remains of the fallen soldiers.

Wang Zilong sighed lightly and said sadly: "In total, there are only 300 complete ones, but many of them have been retrieved, but they cannot tell whether they are from the Japanese or the fallen brothers? In addition, many brothers were buried under the ruins of collapsed houses and could not be dug out at all."

Zhang Kongyi looked at Zhong Yi and said sadly: "Buried the remains found, as well as all the broken limbs and bodies collected, whether they were the Japanese or their own brothers." After a pause, he said, "As for those buried in the ruins, let them stay there forever. After all, they died to defend Jinshan County, which is considered a place to die!"

Zhong Yi then reminded: "The list of the fallen brothers must be collected and must not be lost no matter what!"

"I know." Wang Zilong nodded and said, "Whether it is the old brother of the 367th Regiment or the brother who has just been supplemented by Kingsoft Weiminzhuang to join the 367th Regiment, I have logged their names in the book and kept them properly!"

"That's good." Zhong Yi sighed lightly and said, "When the War of Resistance Against Japan is victorious in the future, we must erect a stone tablet in the central square of Jinshan County, and then engrave the names of all the fallen brothers on it, so that their heroes will be admired by generations of people in Jinshan County!"

Prince Long replied: "Yes!"

When Zhong Yi breathed a sigh of relief, he had already returned to his previous Leng Jun color when he faced Zhang Kongyi again.

"Zhang Tuanzuo." Zhong Yi said in a deep voice, "No surprise, after dawn tomorrow, the Japanese will most likely use artillery tactics that burn both jade and stone. Although the Japanese suffer heavy casualties, there are many Japanese soldiers and they can afford to lose, but we cannot afford to lose. If we do this twice, Jinshan County will not have to defend it."

Zhang Kongyi said: "Just about to say this, commander-in-chief, do you have any good solutions?"

"There are always methods." Zhong Yi nodded and said, "The most effective way is to shrink the defense range and give most of the city to the Japanese! In this way, under the Japanese's artillery tactics, the Japanese's losses will be far greater than our army, and we can hold on as long as possible."

"Retract the defense range?" Zhang Kongyi frowned and said, "I'm afraid this won't work?"

"Yes, this is not possible!" Chu Gangchang, who had just bandaged his right shoulder wound, said without thinking, "Give most of the city to the Japanese and retreated to the Traffic Building, which is definitely not possible. No matter how strong the Traffic Building is, it will definitely not be able to withstand the Japanese tank main artillery and war defense artillery shelling. Moreover, the Japanese have no worries, and they can even transport large-caliber heavy artillery directly into the city to shoot the Traffic Building directly. We will surely be done by then."

Zhong Yi said: "I just said to give up most of the urban area to the Japanese, but I didn't say that I just stick to the Traffic Building!"

"Map!" Zhong Yi signaled Wang Zilong to spread the combat map, and pointed to the map and said, "Look, there are three relatively strong fortifications in Jinshan County, one is the Traffic Building, the other is the Yao Family Courtyard, and the third is the county office. These three fortifications are exactly in a straight triangle. As long as we guard three, we can form a horn. At least we can avoid the Japanese attacking us from the back from the side, and the difficulty of defense will be greatly reduced!"

Zhang Kongyi, Chu Gangchang, Wang Zilong nodded subconsciously.

...

At this time, in Songjiang.

The alert troops sent by the 67th Army have returned to Songjiang and brought back the latest news from Jinshan County.

"What? Are you saying that Jinshan County has not been lost yet?" After hearing the report, Wu Keren was a little surprised.

Huang Qixiang, who came to Songjiang to supervise the battle, was also very surprised. He could not imagine how this battle was fought?

The 367th Regiment guarding Jinshan County has only more than 1,000 battalions, but it can defend Jinshan County for a day under the fierce attack of nearly 100,000 Japanese troops. What is this?

"Yes." The adjutant said in a deep voice, "It is said that the Japanese also used heavy artillery groups! Hundreds of large-caliber howitzers have carried out large-scale artillery bombs on Jinshan County several times, especially the second artillery bombs this morning. The Japanese also used sulfur bombs. The fires ignited in the city reflected half of the sky red!

Wu Keren couldn't help but take a breath when he heard this.

Then, Wu Keren turned around and said to Huang Qixiang: "Vice General, should you report this news to Nanjing?"

"No." Huang Qixiang didn't know what his mind was, and said coldly, "Fuxings has a radio station in Jinshan County. I don't know what the situation in Nanjing is, so we need to say it?"

Wu Keren didn't say anything more.

After a while, Wu Keren suddenly asked again: "Vice General, do you think this battle was commanded by Zhong Yi?"
Chapter completed!
