After Zhong Yi finished talking to Yang Chen, he came over and asked Chen Yaoting and Yuan Qiang: "Company Commander Chen, Yuan Lianqiu, did Lao Yang tell you something just now?" ”

"No, I didn't really say anything." Chen Yaoting and Yuan Qiang hurriedly denied it.

Zhong Yi said: "I'll tell you, what he said doesn't count, I only count the 367 regiment, so you don't have to worry, we won't take advantage of the danger of others to forcibly absorb you!" Co-optation is like marrying a daughter-in-law, you must be willing to marry, and one is willing to marry! Other people's daughters obviously don't want you to marry her, that's called hooliganism! ”

"Gah?!" Chen Yaoting and Yuan Qiang didn't know how to answer.

How did Staff Officer Zhong's analogy make them feel a little shy?

However, the words are not rough, Chen Yaoting and Yuan Qiang are completely relieved so far.

Chen Yaoting even took the initiative to say: "Staff Officer Zhong, the matter of incorporation is too big, and my small company commander really can't decide, but with your 367th Regiment fighting behind enemy lines, I, the company commander, can still make a decision!" ”

After all, eating people is soft-mouthed and short-handed, and after eating such a big meal, you have to show something.

"That's great! The most urgent thing in our 367 regiment at the moment is manpower! Zhong Yi was overjoyed and said, "With your more than 500 Guijun brothers, I am more confident in the next combat mission!" ”

Chen Yaoting and Yuan Qiang glanced at each other, and then said: "Staff Officer Zhong, that's the case, it's no problem to cooperate with the operation, but you can see this problem of logistics support, you ......."

"I don't need to talk about this!" Without waiting for Chen Yaoting to finish speaking, Zhong Yi interrupted, "Of course, we will solve the logistics support!" You will eat whatever our brothers in the 367th regiment eat, and we will never miss a single point from you! ”

"Staff Officer Zhong is benevolent!" Chen Yaoting said, "Then our Guangxi Yankees will never let you down!" ”

"Okay, good, I can trust the combat effectiveness of the Guijun brothers!" Zhong Yi nodded again and again, and then said, "But there is another small question, is this, in order to facilitate the allocation of materials for you, can I temporarily wronged you and apply the name of the independent battalion of the 367th regiment?" ”

Chen Yaoting and Yuan Qiang's faces changed when they heard this.

Zhong Yi hurriedly said: "Don't worry, you are only an independent battalion in name, whether it is personnel appointment and dismissal or political ideology, you are absolutely independent, and you come and go freely!" The reason why I want to make this is also so that when I ask about it in the chairman's chamber, I can give an explanation to the above, after all, there are so many military supplies to be allocated, right? ”

Chen Yaoting and Yuan Qiang looked relieved at this time, if this is the case, it is no problem.

But after thinking about it for a while, Chen Yaoting said again: "Staff Officer Zhong, can it be changed to the 7th Independent Battalion?" ”

This is Chen Yaoting's careful thinking, although it is only a nominal independent battalion, but after all, this is still related to the 367th regiment, and even with the chairman's chamberlain, once this matter spreads, it is easy to say and not good, but if you add the prefix of the 7th, it will be different, he can completely explain that we have never forgotten that we are the people of the 7th Army from beginning to end!

Regarding Chen Yaoting's careful thinking, Zhong Yi saw through it and didn't say anything, and immediately agreed: "No problem, then the independent 7th Battalion, you will be the battalion commander, and Yuan Lianqiang will be the deputy battalion commander!" ”

Chen Yaoting and Yuan Qiang didn't care much about it, because they knew very well that this was just a temporary position and couldn't be taken seriously!

At that moment, Chen Yaoting quickly entered the role and asked, "Staff Officer Zhong, can you tell me about the next combat mission?" ”

"Map!" Zhong Yi motioned to Yang Chen to spread out the map, then pointed to the map and said, "The next combat mission is also what we have been doing, that is, to attack the supply lines of the devils, and at the same time to collect the fleeing friendly troops on the Songhu battlefield as much as possible, and prepare in advance for the upcoming defense of Nanjing!" ”

……

Almost at the same time, a second high-level meeting was held at the Nanjing High Command.

The senior generals attending the meeting were more complete than the first time, in addition to Liu Xiang, Li Zongren, Feng Yuxiang, Tang Shengzhi, etc., even Yunnan Wang Longyun and Nantian King Chen Jitang all arrived in Nanjing!

Of course, Chen Jitang at this time is no longer powerful!

At the meeting, Chairman Jiang said straight to the point: "This meeting is still the topic of the last time, will Nanjing keep it or not?" If it is defended, how should it be deployed? ”

Silence, after Chairman Jiang finished speaking, the conference room was as silent as death.

The adults who will meet are all eyes and noses, noses and hearts, and enter into the concentration!

In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Nanjing will definitely not be able to hold it, but Nanjing is the capital, and it is also the place where the mausoleum of the former Prime Minister Sun Yat-sen is located.

Therefore, in the face of this hot potato, no one is willing to take the lead in expressing their position!

At the last meeting, Liu Fei had no scruples and directly expressed his thoughts, but in this meeting, he, the small leader of the combat team, was not qualified to participate, and he was kicked out of the list of participants by Chairman Jiang!

Seeing that no one had expressed his position for a long time, Chairman Jiang could only order: "Resignation, you speak first." ”

Chen Cheng's face immediately appeared with a look of confusion, he personally advocated giving up Nanjing, but at the same time, he also knew that Chairman Jiang was inclined to defend Nanjing! Recalling what Chairman Jiang said before the meeting, Chairman Jiang called him to the rest house, Chen Cheng made a decision in his heart, and he stood up immediately!

At that moment, Chen Cheng got up and said: "Politically, Nanjing is the capital of China, and it is the mausoleum of the former prime minister, and it cannot be abandoned no matter what, but militarily, Nanjing cannot be defended no matter what!" Therefore, I think that Nanjing must be defended, but it cannot be defended with all its might, and the number of troops invested should be capped at four divisions! ”

Chairman Chiang's brows immediately furrowed.

Well, I'll give him a compromise after a long time!

With Chen Cheng taking the lead in expressing his position, Bai Chongxi said: "I personally fully agree with Brother Ci, the battle of Nanjing, the investment of troops should be limited to four divisions, and the tragedy of the Battle of Songhu cannot be repeated!" ”

Chairman Jiang's face suddenly became more and more gloomy, and Bai Jiansheng slapped his face again!

However, at this moment, the conference room suddenly banged again!

Chairman Jiang looked at it anxiously, but it was Tang Shengzhi who stood up and said angrily: "What kind of!" Before the battle was fought, it was concluded that Nanjing would not be able to hold it? I don't believe in this evil! ”

After a pause, Tang Shengzhi said to Chairman Jiang again: "Chairman of the Committee, I still say the same thing, Nanjing must be defended, and a member of the army must be left to guard it in the future!" It has been almost half a year since the Sino-Japanese War broke out, and the number of soldiers killed in the war is 500,000, and it is time to die one or two generals to boost the morale of the whole country! ”

Chairman Jiang said awe-inspiringly: "Meng Xiao, you mean? ”

"That's right!" Tang Shengzhi said, "Nanjing, I'll guard it!" ”
