This click was not the sound of the bolt impacting, but the shutter of the camera.

Looking back, Zhong Yi saw several reporters standing under the awning not far away, holding their cameras to shoot at the queues of the Eighth and Ninth Regiments.

In this regard, Zhong Yi is also happy to see it.

This is because the training of the Eighth and Ninth Regiments has caused a great sensation in the whole city of Yinjiang and even in Zhejiang Province after being publicized by the Yinjiang Daily, and in addition to greatly increasing the patriotic enthusiasm of the military and people in the whole province, it has also greatly increased the sense of honor and self-confidence of the officers and men of the Eighth Regiment, the Ninth Regiment, and even the entire East Zhejiang Coastal Defense Corps.

In particular, every night before the lights go out, Zhong Yi would arrange for literate officers and soldiers to read the newspaper that reported on their training in the Yinjiang Daily.

Of course, there are also negative effects.

This negative effect is to attract the devil's bombing plane.

Ever since the reports of the Eighth and Ninth Regiments appeared in the newspapers, the devil's bombers and fighters have been harassing them every day, sometimes dropping a few aerial bombs, and sometimes just strafing them indiscriminately.

Although there were no substantial casualties, the impact was still very large.

Fortunately, a few days later, 500 S anti-aircraft machine guns ordered from the USSR were safely transported to Yinjiang.

The 16 anti-aircraft machine-gun positions built around the Koto University Yard were equipped with S anti-aircraft machine guns, and immediately posed a mortal threat to the devil planes that came to attack and harass.

After losing two planes in a row, the devil finally relented a lot, and changed from harassment every day to once every three days or even once a week.

To put it bluntly, the devil's plane is also very precious, and it has no practical value for the bombing of the Jiangdong University campus, even if it kills a few Chinese soldiers, what impact can it have? On the contrary, the risk is extremely high, and the senior generals of the little devils are not stupid pigs, and this kind of loss-making business will certainly not be done for a long time.

So Zhong Yi doesn't mind the reports of reporters from all walks of life.

It's just that when a photojournalist pointed the camera at him, Zhong Yi was finally unhappy.

Zhong Yi pouted at Xu Chao, Xu Chao immediately understood, walked straight to the photojournalist, and said in a deep voice: "Hello this gentleman, please delete the photo of our seat!" ”

"Why?" The photojournalist said, "I'm a reporter from JoongAng Daily. ”

"It doesn't matter which newspaper you're a reporter for, delete the photo immediately." Xu Chao said very strongly, "Otherwise, we can only confiscate your camera." ”

"Why?" A reporter from the Central Daily, "I also have good intentions and want Chief of Staff Zhong to show his face." ”

"No, I don't." Zhong Yi came over and said, "I know you have good intentions and want to promote me, but I really don't need to, and I don't think I have anything to promote." ”

The reporter said: "Chief of Staff Zhong is humble, you are a combat hero. ”

"I'm not humble, and I don't think I'm a combat hero." Zhong Yi said, "The real heroes are the officers and men of the coastal defense corps, and the fathers and villagers of the transportation teams of all counties, towns, and townships!" ”

After a pause, Zhong Yi said again: "Therefore, you should vigorously report on the officers and soldiers of the Coastal Defense Corps, and you should also vigorously report on the fathers and villagers who support the Houyin of the Coastal Defense Corps. ”

The reporter said: "What Chief of Staff Zhong means is that only by relying on the bloody struggle of all the officers and soldiers of the Coastal Defense Corps, and only by relying on the help of all the people of Yinjiang City to deliver supplies, can it be possible to defeat the little devils and hold Yinjiang, right?" ”

"Yes." Zhong Yi nodded, and said, "You have already seen the Eighth and Ninth Regiments of the Coastal Defense Corps, and then I will go to Xiaogang Town to review the transport team, why don't you go with me?" ”

"Okay." More than a dozen media reporters present readily agreed.

At that moment, Zhong Yi transferred a truck from the headquarters and took these dozen reporters straight to Xiaogang Town.

About an hour later, Mr. Zhong's sedan and truck carrying more than a dozen reporters arrived in Xiaogang Township and stopped outside the Zhao family ancestral hall.

Here, it is necessary to say first that the three detachments of Zhong Yi's coastal defense corps are all combat units, and there are no Houyin troops on the formation table.

More than 30,000 officers and soldiers of the three detachments, all of them are combat units!

Because the East Zhejiang Coastal Defense Corps is still different from the regular army after all.

The regular army is a purely combat unit, and if you give an order from the top, you may be able to collapse half of China.

But this is not the case with the Zhedong Coastal Defense Corps, whose only duty is to defend the Yinjiang River, so they will only fight locally in the Yinjiang River and will not be transferred elsewhere.

In view of this, Zhong Yi simply omitted the Houyin support force.

This is not only a huge amount of money, but also a lot of valuable manpower.

Because it is a local operation, logistics support can completely rely on the local people.

So in this month, Zhong Yi's other job is to form a transportation team.

In principle, a county should set up a transport detachment, a town should set up a transport brigade, and a village should set up a transport detachment.

The transport team brings its own tools, and the city provides two meals a day.

What Zhong Yi inspected today was the transportation team of Xiaogang Town.

Outside the ancestral hall, more than 2,000 people of the transportation team of Xiaogang Town have completed the assembly.

Zhong Yi looked through the window of the car, and saw that most of the transport team were middle-aged people or even the elderly, and there were many childish children, few of whom were young and strong.

After all, the manpower of a town is limited, and after providing more than 2,000 young men to the coastal defense corps, it is no longer able to gather so many young men, so the transport team can only recruit the elderly and children.

Therefore, it is completely conceivable how much impact the war will have on the agricultural production of Xiaogang Town.

However, even if this is the case, Zhong Yi has no choice, and the people of Xiaogang Town also have no other choice, it is their duty to protect their families and defend the country, and it is better to delay the agricultural time than to be a slave to the country.

Standing at the front of the queue of the transport team was the old man Zhao Xingjiu, who had white hair.

Seeing Zhong Yi's Ford car, Zhao Xingjiu immediately took two steps forward and made a gesture to open the door.

How dare Zhong Yi let the old man open the door, he hurriedly opened the car door first, and complained: "Old man, what are you doing here?" ”

Zhao Xingjiu smiled, then stood up and said: "Report to Chief of Staff Zhong, the two thousand one hundred and eight people of the Xiaogang Town Transportation Brigade have been ordered to assemble, please review." ”

As soon as the words fell, more than 2,000 people gathered their feet together.

From this alone, it can be seen that more than 2,000 people have also received preliminary training.

Zhong Yi subconsciously bowed his head slightly, and then asked Zhao Xingjiu again: "Old man, if the battle starts, more than 2,000 manpower will be taken away at once, can the farm work in the town be busy?" ”

Zhao Xingjiu said: "You don't have to worry about this. ”

: There are two more chapters in the evening.
