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

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

Zhong Yi said: "I tell you, what he said does not count, what I said in the 367th Group will count, so you don't have to worry. We will not force you to recruit you when we are in danger! Incorporation is like marrying a wife. One must be willing to marry the other! The daughter of another person obviously doesn't want you to marry her, that's called a hooligan!"

"Ga?!" Chen Yaoting and Yuan Qiang didn't know how to respond.

How did this metaphor from Staff Zhong make them feel a little shy?

However, Chen Yaoting and Yuan Qiang were completely relieved at this point.

Chen Yaoting even took the initiative to say: "Staff Officer Zhong, the matter of incorporation is too big. I, a young company commander, really can't make a decision, but I, as the company commander, can still make a decision in cooperation with your 367th Regiment's battle behind enemy lines!"

After all, people are soft-hearted and have short hands. After eating such a big meal, you have to show your expression.

"This is great! The most scarce thing for our 367th Regiment is manpower!" Zhong Yi said "overjoyed", "With you more than 500 Gui Jun brothers, I am more confident in the next combat mission!"

Chen Yaoting and Yuan Qiang looked at each other and continued, "Staff Officer Zhong, this is the case. There is no problem with cooperation and cooperation, but you can see the problem of logistics support..."

"No need to talk about this!" Before Chen Yaoting finished speaking, Zhong Yi interrupted, "Of course we will solve the logistics support! We can eat whatever our brothers in the 367th regiment eat, and we will never lose one point!"

"Staff General Zhong benevolent and righteous!" Chen Yaoting said, "Then we Guangxi guys will never let you down!"

"Okay, okay, I can trust the combat effectiveness of the Gui Jun brothers!" Zhong Yi nodded repeatedly and then said, "But there is another small problem. This is it. In order to facilitate the allocation of materials for you, can you temporarily be wronged and apply the name of the 367th Regiment Independent Battalion?"

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

Zhong Yi hurriedly said, "Don't worry, you are just a nominal independent battalion. Whether in terms of personnel, appointment and removal or political and ideological, you are absolutely independent, and you are free to come and go! The reason why I want to come up with this is to give an explanation to the chairman's servant room when asked about it. After all, there are so many military supplies to be allocated, right?"

Chen Yaoting and Yuan Qiang then relaxed their expressions. If this is the case, it would be fine.

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

This is Chen Yaoting's little thought. Although it is just a nominal independent battalion, it is still related to the 367th Regiment and even the Chairman's Office. Once this matter spreads, it is not nice to say, but if the prefix of the 7th is added, it will be different. He can fully explain that we have never forgotten that we are from the 7th Army from beginning to end!

Zhong Yi saw through Chen Yaoting's little thoughts and agreed immediately: "No problem, then you can stand independent of the 7th Battalion, and Company Commander Chen will be the battalion commander, and Yuan Lian is forced to be the deputy battalion commander!"

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

Chen Yaoting quickly got into the role and asked, "Staff Officer Zhong, can you tell me about the next combat mission?"

"Map!" Zhong Yi motioned Yang Chen to spread the map, then pointed to the map and said, "The next combat mission is what we have been doing, which is to attack the supply line of the Japanese, and at the same time, collect the friendly troops who fled on the Songhu battlefield as much as possible, and prepare in advance for the upcoming Nanjing defense battle!"

...

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

The senior generals attending the meeting were even better than the first time. In addition to Liu Xiang, Li Zongren, Feng Yuxiang, Tang Shengzhi, etc., even Yunnan King Long Yun and Southern King Chen Jitang all arrived in Nanjing!

Of course, Chen Jitang was no longer in power at this time!

At the meeting, Chairman Jiang said straight to the point: "This meeting is still the last issue. Should Nanjing defend or not? If it is defended, how should it deploy defense?"

Sujing, after Chairman Jiang finished speaking, the conference room became silent like death.

All the officials who met were looking at the nose, the nose was observing the heart, and entered into meditation!

In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Nanjing will definitely not be able to defend it, but Nanjing is the capital, and it is the place where the Prime Minister Sun Yat-sen’s Mausoleum is located. If anyone dares to say that he will abandon it, it will be criticized by thousands of people!

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

During the last meeting, Liu Fei had no scruples and directly expressed his ideas. However, this meeting, he, the small combat team leader, was not qualified to attend. He was kicked out of the list of attendees by Chairman Jiang!

Seeing that no one had expressed his opinion for a long time, Chairman Jiang could only click: "Ci Xiu, you can say it first."

A trace of entanglement immediately appeared on Chen Cheng's face. He personally advocated giving up Nanjing, but at the same time, he also knew that Chairman Jiang was inclined to guard Nanjing! Looking back on what Chairman Jiang called him to Qilu before the meeting, Chen Cheng made a decision and immediately grew up!

Chen Cheng stood up and said, "Politically, Nanjing is the capital of China and the location of the Prime Minister's Mausoleum. It cannot be abandoned no matter what. However, in terms of military, Nanjing cannot be defended no matter how hard it is! So I think Nanjing must defend, but it cannot defend with all its strength. The upper limit of the troops should be based on four divisions!"

Chairman Jiang's brows immediately frowned.

OK, I gave him a compromise after a long time!

With Chen Cheng taking the lead in expressing his opinion, Bai Chongxi said: "I personally fully agree with Brother Ci Xiu. In the Battle of Nanjing, the number of troops invested should be limited to the Fourth Division. The tragedy of the Battle of Shanghai cannot be repeated!"

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

However, at this moment, there was a bang in the conference room!

Chairman Jiang looked at it urgently, but Tang Shengzhi slapped the table and stood up again and said angrily: "What nonsense is that you are talking about! Before the battle was fought, I decided that Nanjing would not be able to defend it? I, old Tang, don't believe this evil!"

After a pause, Tang Shengzhi said to Chairman Jiang again: "Chairman, I still say the same thing. Nanjing must be guarded, and one must be left to guard the country! The Sino-Japanese War has been outbreaking in full swing for almost half a year, and the number of soldiers who died in the war is 500,000. It is worth one or two generals to boost the morale of the whole country!"

Chairman Jiang said sternly: "Meng Xiao, what are you saying?"
Chapter completed!
