Let's go back and talk about Zhong Yi's side.

After eliminating the Kanazawa United, Zhong Yi did not stop advancing, but led his troops all the way to Xuanwu Gate.

However, at Xuanwu Gate, they were fiercely strafed by Japanese machine-gun fire, and they lost dozens of people in a hurry!

Obviously, the devils guarding the Xuanwu Gate and the city walls have already taken precautions, and it is impossible to take advantage of the devils' unpreparedness to recapture the city wall fortifications.

At this point, Zhong Yi finally determined that the devils outside the city did not enter the city in a big way.

Moreover, after the excitement of most of the night, the madness of the routs began to fade.

These defeated soldiers are excited, that is the god blocking and killing the gods, and the Buddha blocking and killing the Buddha, but once the excitement passes, they will immediately become vulnerable, so at this time, they must not be able to fight the devil!

At that moment, Zhong Yi accepted it as soon as he saw it, and withdrew to Central University with his troops.

After retreating to Central University, Zhong Yi sent troops to clean up the battlefield while sending signal troops to contact the rout troops attacking north along the remaining main streets.

About half an hour later, the battlefield was cleared, and the defeated troops from the north also rushed to converge.

For Zhong Yi's summoning, these defeated soldiers did not have the slightest resistance, first, from the public situation, Zhong Yi, the regiment commander, was already the highest-ranking commander in Nanjing; Second, Zhong Yi had all the military supplies in his hands, and if they didn't want to go hungry, they could only obediently obey Zhong Yi's command.

The third and most important point is that through the tenacious perseverance of two days and nights in Xinjiekou, coupled with Xiao Bing's unsparing propaganda on the radio, Zhong Yi has erected an image of being able to fight in the minds of these defeated soldiers!

But as long as you are a soldier, no one does not want to be with a commander who can fight, because a commander who can fight not only means that it will be easier to obtain combat merits, but also means that the hope of survival will be greater!

Therefore, for Zhong Yi's summoning, these routs did not have any resistance.

Therefore, in less than half an hour, the rout troops from all directions in the north came to converge one after another.

Due to the large number of personnel, there was no way to count them one by one, but it was only a rough estimate, and Zhong Yi was sure that there were at least 30,000 defeated troops gathered at Central University!

Looking at the crowd of people in front of him, Zhong Yi's eyes became extremely hot!

This is 30,000 people, which is equivalent to three fully equipped elite divisions of the national army!

Moreover, this is not a strong man who was temporarily arrested, but a veteran of the Central Army!

Moreover, this is just one way, and the routs in the other two directions will only be more and not less!

That is to say, he, Zhong Yi, a small regiment commander, will soon command an army of more than 100,000! This is probably the regiment commander with the most troops in ancient and modern times, right?

On Donkey Day, the commander-in-chief of the group army did not have as many soldiers as he had!

At that moment, Zhong Yi ordered the corpses of all the dead officers and soldiers, whether they were devils or national soldiers, to be collected and cremated.

After all, he has to hold on to Nanjing for at least a month, and Zhong Yi doesn't want the whole Nanjing to be full of corpse stench!

Of course, Zhong Yi didn't need to be personally responsible for this kind of thing, leaving Chi Peng in charge of cremating the body, Zhong Yi returned to Xinjiekou with more than 30,000 defeated soldiers.

By the time Zhong Yi returned to Xinjiekou, it was already more than five o'clock in the morning.

Xiao Bing had already been waiting in the cold wind with the tiger's head in her arms, and when she saw Zhong Yi, Xiao Bing couldn't help but take two steps forward, but soon, she stopped again, because she remembered that when she threw herself into her arms before, Zhong Yi behaved like a piece of wood and had no response, so she could only bury her love deep in her heart.

Zhong Yi took the tiger's head from Xiao Bing's arms and found that the little guy was sleeping soundly.

"This kid slept soundly." Zhong Yi slapped the tiger's little face and said with a smile, "But I don't know that the whole Nanjing has been boiling over!" ”

Xiao Bing asked with concern: "Tuanzao, have you won the battle?" ”

"Won, of course won!" Zhong Yi smiled and said, "Squad Leader Xiao, you can go back now to draft the good news of the recovery of the whole city of Nanjing, and just wait for the morning broadcast at six o'clock, and you can inform the whole country of this great victory!" ”

"Really? Did you really win? Xiao Bingxi couldn't help but say, "Tuanza, you didn't lie to me?" ”

As soon as the words fell, a deep voice sounded from behind Xiao Bing: "Squad Leader Xiao, Tuanzuo really didn't lie to you, we really won this battle!" ”

"It's true!" Another voice said, "Nanjing, it's really recovered!" ”

Xiao Bing hurriedly looked back, only to see Qiu Quan, the chief of staff of the 367th Regiment, and the deputy head of the regiment walking over together, the expressions of the two of them looked very tired, but the excitement between their eyebrows could not be concealed.

"Tuanza, I'm going to draft the manuscript!" After Xiao Bing finished speaking, he turned around and left excitedly.

Zhu Liangcheng strode in front of Zhong Yi again, snapped upright, and saluted the standard military salute.

Seeing Zhu Liangcheng like this, Qiu Qingquan had no choice but to pinch his nose and salute the military salute, but said in his heart: Boy, today's field, sooner or later, I will find it back!

After saluting, Zhu Liangcheng said: "Tuanzuo, the devil army outside the Zhonghua Gate and Guanghua Gate did not enter the city in a big way, so we only ate the devil's two infantry wings plus an artillery wing, and most of the artillery of that artillery wing was blown up by the devils, and there were only two intact artillery pieces captured!" ”

"Lao Zhu, good job!" Zhong Yi nodded, and then turned his gaze to Qiu Qingquan.

Qiu Qingquan said lightly: "We will eat the devil with an infantry wing and a heavy artillery wing, but there is no captured heavy artillery, and all the little devils will be blown up!" ”

After a pause, Qiu Qingquan said again: "However, a good thing has also been seized." ”

Zhong Yi said: "Chief of Staff Qiu said that it was a good thing, then this thing must not be bad." ”

Zhu Liangcheng asked eagerly: "Lao Qiu, tell me quickly, what good things have been seized?" ”

Qiu Qingquan took out the captured military flag from his satchel and said, "Look, what is this? ”

Zhong Yi's pupils shrank suddenly, and he said, "You actually captured the wing flag of the 9th Infantry Wing?" ”

"Fluke, pure fluke!" Qiu Qingquan smiled, and then put the military flag into his satchel, looking like he was afraid that Zhong Yi would use his pistol.

Zhong Yi was stunned, it's just a wing flag, as for this?

At that moment, Zhong Yi turned his gaze to the rout soldiers brought back by the two.

At this time, the eastern sky had already slightly revealed a trace of fish belly white, and with this faint twilight, Zhong Yi could clearly see that the entire open Xinjiekou was almost crowded with the national army!

It is conservatively estimated that there are at least 100,000 national troops gathered here!
