Chapter 177: Military Supplies

The door opened, and Zhong Yi was not polite, so he entered first.

When you enter the gate, you will be greeted by marble columns and reliefs, typical European architecture.

However, Zhong Yi had no intention of admiring the architecture of the Republic of China era at all, but led his troops straight to the foyer on the first floor of the building, only to find that it was locked in front of the foyer.

Guo Qi stepped forward again and opened the big iron door.

The iron door is open, and the hall is inside!

Zhong Yi stepped into the iron door, only to see that the hall that should have been empty was now full of large and small sacks and wooden crates.

The sacks and crates were all sealed.

Guo Qi pointed to these sacks and wooden boxes and said: "These are all cigarettes, towels and other condolences donated by all walks of life in Nanjing after the Battle of Nanjing began, and they were all piled up in the hall because there was no time to deal with them. ”

"Where's the munitions?" Zhong Yi asked in a deep voice!

Of course, Zhong Yi's main concern is munitions, because his 367 regiment is now using Japanese weapons, and the ammunition reserves are only so pitiful!

If there were not enough munitions, the 367 regiment would not have been able to hold out for a day!

The most important thing to fight a war is to rely on people, but it is absolutely impossible to fight without arms!

"Ammunition in underground vaults!" Guo Qi said, "Because I'm worried about the devil's bombing!" ”

Zhong Yi nodded, and said, "Camp Commander Guo, hurry up and take me to the underground vault!" ”

"Okay." After Guo Qi finished speaking, he should lead the way first.

There is a direct passage into the underground vault in the lobby.

First through a long, deep corridor, then through an iron door, and then through a spiral down the staircase, Guo Qi turned on the staircase wall lamp.

Descending down the spiral staircase for at least ten meters, there was a heavy iron door.

Guo Qi took out a particularly long and thick key, inserted it into the keyhole and turned it vigorously, and then pushed it hard, and the heavy iron door slowly opened with a piercing sound.

As soon as the big hole was opened, a strong smell of engine oil came to my nose.

But Zhong Yi suddenly shook when he smelled the smell of engine oil, because it was the smell of a heavy machine gun!

Sure enough, as soon as Zhong Yi entered the gate, he saw the Min 24 heavy machine gun swinging out in the hall at a glance!

Probably for ease of access, the Command Corps' Heavy Battalion has folded and sealed these brand-new Min 24 heavy machine guns and placed them in the underground vault hall.

Zhong Yi roughly counted, there are at least 50 Type 24 heavy machine guns here!

50 Min Type 24 heavy machine guns are enough to arm 8 heavy machine gun companies!

Guo Qi said lightly: "Tuanzao, this is only a small part of it, there are more than 200 spare heavy machine guns prepared by our baggage battalion for the teaching corps!" All of them are newly produced by the Jinling Arsenal! ”

"More than two hundred?!" When Zhong Yi heard this, his eyes lit up instantly, it was just wonderful!

Guo Qi said: "In addition to more than 200 Min 24 heavy machine guns, there are more than 800 imitation Czech light machine guns, more than 20,000 imitation Mauser 98K rifles, more than 1,000 imported Bergman submachine guns, more than 50 million 7.92mm Mauser bullets, 200,000 long-handled grenades made in Jinling, and more than 20,000 catties of high explosives!" ”

"Yes, great!" Zhong Yi said excitedly, "It's just wonderful! ”

Guo Qi said again: "All of this is here, do you want to send someone to count it?" ”

"No need!" Zhong Yi waved his hand and said, "Battalion Commander Guo, this is just the military supplies of the teaching corps?" ”

Guo Qi shook his head and said, "Not only our teaching corps, but also the military supplies of the 36th, 87th, and 88th divisions are also here, but the 74th Army has another munitions warehouse in the city. ”

Zhong Yi said: "Where is the munitions warehouse of the 74th Army?" Far from it? ”

"Not far!" Guo Qi said, "It's diagonally opposite the Bank of China building. ”

After a pause, Guo Qi said again: "Tuanzao, the military supplies of the 74th Army are only a lot more than our teaching corps, not only because the army commander Yu Jishi is the hometown of Commissar Jiang, but also because the 74th Army also needs to bear the military supplies of the 66th Army, the 83rd Army and Xu Yuanquan's 2nd Army Corps. ”

"Battalion Commander Guo, this task will be handed over to you!" After Zhong Yi finished speaking, he turned his head to Niu Dan and said, "Niu Dan, from now on, your guard company will be under the command of Battalion Commander Guo!" ”

Niu Dan replied loudly: "Yes! ”

……

Coming out of the Central Bank Headquarters building, Zhong Yi felt both excited and extremely angry.

In the past military history class, Zhong Yi was actually very skeptical about some details of the defense of Nanjing.

For example, teaching the corps to prepare military supplies for the defense of Nanjing, Zhong Yi always felt that the numbers were a bit exaggerated, how could there be so many? Eight months of supplies for the war, that's eight months!

But now, Zhong Yi has already witnessed these materials with his own eyes!

Now that you think about it, it's normal that there are so many military supplies!

In any case, Nanjing is the capital, the political center of China!

So Zhong Yi felt extremely angry, there are so many military supplies, and there are more than 100,000 elites, how much combat effectiveness will the combination of the two have? Not to mention the reverse annihilation of 200,000 invading Japanese troops, it is always no problem to inflict heavy losses on the Japanese army!

It is a pity that due to Chairman Chiang's commotion and the escape of Tang Shengzhi and other high-ranking generals, the elite of the more than 100,000 national troops guarding Nanjing actually laid down their weapons by themselves, and then were slaughtered by the Japanese army like chickens and sheep, and the massive military supplies hoarded in Nanjing City were all cheaper for the Japanese army!

But fortunately, such a tragedy cannot happen again!

This is because he, Zhong Yi and the 367th regiment, have already come!

Although he Zhong Yi is only a small group leader, a small stone can also smash a big clay pot!

Although the 367th Regiment only has more than 2,000 people, there are more than 100,000 elite soldiers stranded in Nanjing!

Now the hearts of these hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the national army are cold and their blood is cold, but Zhong Yi firmly believes that with the deepening of the war, the fighting spirit of these soldiers of the national army will eventually be reawakened!

One day, these hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the national army will once again take up arms and set foot on the battlefield!

Zhong Yi only hopes that this day will not be too long, because the 367 regiment will not last a few days!

In addition to the army, there are also 500,000 people stranded in Nanjing, and if these 500,000 people can be mobilized, they will be able to become the biggest support of the national army! can become the strongest backing of the national army!

Walking out the door, Zhong Yi looked up at the dark sky of Nanjing.

Come on, little devil, let the horses come! Nanjing will be your grave! If I can't bury more than 100,000 little devils in Nanjing, I'll write the bell upside down!

Outside the gate, on the street, seeing Zhong Yi come out, the soldiers of the 367th Regiment who were originally resting on the ground got up one after another and cast extremely expectant glances at Zhong Yi.

Zhong Yi waved his hand and shouted: "It's all there, change your clothes!" ”

"Hooray!" More than 2,000 officers and men immediately cheered.
