In the afternoon of the same day, Zhong Yi climbed Zhaobao Mountain with Qiu Qingquan and Wang Yaowu.

This time, Yu Liangzhen did not come. He represented the Zhejiang-Fu War Zone to attend the Yinjiang celebration banquet. In order to celebrate the victory of the third Zhejiang-Fu War Battle, the Yinjiang Chamber of Commerce held a celebration banquet.

Originally, Zhong Yi, as the chief of staff of the Zhejiang-Fujian War Zone, was going to attend, but he turned it down.

Because there is not much time left for Zhong Yi, he must make arrangements before leaving.

Qiu Qingquan and Wang Yaowu followed Zhong Yi, with a slightly awkward expression, especially Wang Yaowu, because he felt that he had squeezed Zhong Yi away by himself.

Just yesterday, Yu Liangzhen officially announced the decision of the Ministry of Military Affairs.

The 10th Army was officially divided into the 10th Army and the 42nd Army. Each Army had four armies under its jurisdiction and three divisions under its jurisdiction.

All eight division commanders, including Li Tianxia, ​​Zhang Lingfu, Qiu Weida, Yu Chengwan, Hu Lian, Fang Xianjue, Xie Jinyuan, Yu Bojun, etc., were promoted to army commanders. Most of the former 20 regiment commanders of the 10th Army were promoted to division commanders. However, the two regiment commanders from the police corps were not promoted, and they were transferred to Chongqing with Cao Ziying.

Standing on the main bunker on the top of Zhaobao Mountain, you can see the Yinjiang River Estuary at a glance.

Looking at the rolling waves at the mouth of Yinjiang River, Zhong Yi said with a slight silence: "Brother Yu'an, and Brother Zuomin, the more than three million elders of Yinjiang will ask you two."

Yinjiang originally had a population of hundreds of thousands, and even if it counted in the six months of its jurisdiction, it was less than two million.

But later Zhong Yi stole 1.5 million refugees from Shanghai, and the total population expanded to 4 million. Some time ago, nearly 500,000 people and machinery were transferred to Kunming, but the total population remained in Yinjiang still had more than 3 million.

Wang Yaowu and Qiu Qingquan looked at each other, and then they said solemnly: "Please rest assured, we will definitely guard Yinjiang for you and will never let the Japanese step into Yinjiang!"

"It's not for me." Zhong Yi corrected, "It's for the party and the country to defend Yinjiang."

"Oh, yes." Qiu Qingquan said hurriedly, "It is to guard Yinjiang for the Party and the country."

Wang Yaowu said: "I have also discussed with Brother Yu'an about the defense deployment of Yinjiang. Once the Japanese attack, Brother Yu'an's 42nd Army will be the main force to guard the periphery. I will lead the 10th Army to defend the city. The two armies, one inside and one outside, echo each other, which will definitely be enough for the invading Japanese to drink a pot."

Zhong Yi nodded and said, "Brother Yu'an and Brother Zuomin, your abilities are unquestionable. Otherwise, I would not have asked your generals to the attendant's room at the beginning, but I still want to emphasize one thing, that is, don't have too high expectations for Zhaobaoshan Fortress and Jinjishan Fortress. In the near future, these two fortresses will inevitably be lost."

"We know." Wang Yaowu said, "We are already preparing."

"Oh, is that?" Zhong Yi couldn't help but be surprised and asked in surprise, "You actually knew it a long time ago?"

"Yes." Wang Yaowu nodded and said, "Old Master, during your time when you are not in Yinjiang, I often discuss with Brother Yu'an. I always feel that the secret of Zhaobaoshan and Jinjishan Fortress cannot be kept for too long, so we must prepare for the future and be prepared to lose these two fortresses, so as not to be caught off guard by the Japanese at that time."

Zhong Yi said happily: "Can you tell me how you prepared?"

"Actually nothing." Wang Yaowudao, "is nothing more than preparing for street fighting."

"Yes." Qiu Qingquan continued, "Similar to the way the Chief Executive was in Wuhan, renovating the houses in Jiangbei, Jiangdong and Haishu Districts, and then digging tunnels to build the entire city into a huge military fortress! It would be fine if the Japanese didn't come, but once they came, if not 100,000 people were killed, they would not be able to take down Yinjiang!"

Zhong Yi nodded happily when he heard this, and now he was completely relieved.

After thinking about it, Zhong Yi said again: "There is another point, I must remind you."

Wang Yaowu and Qiu Qingquan said respectfully at the same time: "Please also ask the chief executive to show his advice."

Zhong Yi said: "Food food is enough. Three million people have enough for ten years to eat, but weapons, ammunition and medicines are probably far from enough. So from now on, you must start to consciously purchase medicines, weapons, ammunition, especially general-purpose rifle bullets. The more you stock up, the better."

"I understand." Wang Yaowu said in a deep voice.

Qiu Qingquan said even more domineeringly: "Let me take a guard battalion to the arsenal to squat, so that Yinjiang arsenal will start to produce weapons and ammunition at full capacity, especially bullets, starting from tomorrow!"

Wang Yaowu asked again: "Master, when will you leave for Chongqing?"

"Yes, when will you leave?" Qiu Qingquan said, "We can make arrangements in advance and call on brothers to give you money."

"I'll save money. This is not a separation from life and death." Zhong Yi waved his hand and said to Wang Yaowu, "Brother Zuomin, I have a small request to you and me."

Wang Yaowu smiled and said, "The chief officer is talking about the special forces team, right?"

Zhong Yi laughed and said, "I want to take away the Special War Team. Brother Zuomin has no objection, right?"

"Of course I have no objection." Wang Yaowu said happily, "Who doesn't know that the Special War Team is the head of the chief? Even if I eat the bell of the bell, I will not dare to take the bell of the head of the chief."

"Good." Zhong Yi said happily, "thank you."

"What are you thanking?" Wang Yaowu said, "If you want to thank me, it should be you, Brother Yu'an and Mr. Xie. If you hadn't laid such a good foundation for us, where would we eat this ready-made rice?"

Qiu Qingquan next to him nodded repeatedly: "Brother Zuomin is right."

The 10th Army and the 42nd Army are now strong and powerful. They are not only well-equipped, but also hundreds of thousands of meritorious veterans with rich combat experience. More importantly, there is also the strong base of Yinjiang, so they are really grateful to Zhong Yi from the bottom of their hearts and the family fortune that Zhong Yi earned for them.

Wang Yaowu suddenly said again: "Master, can I make a request?"

"Do you want to send students to Lu Da?" Zhong Yi waved his hand and said, "This year's no longer work. I have given the Sichuan Army this year's quota. You two should wait next year. Lu Da will recruit students next year. I will definitely give priority to the officers of the 10th and 42nd Army. How about it, is that interesting, right?"

"It's so good, the chief officer is so good." Wang Yaowu nodded repeatedly.

Qiu Qingquan also had a charming smile on his face, which was very different from his usual image.

Zhong Yi stood up at the sight, saluted the two of them, and said in a solemn manner: "Commander-General Wang, Commander-General Qiu, then let's part with you and see you again when the War of Resistance Against Japan is victorious!"

Wang Yaowu and Qiu Qingquan stood at attention.
Chapter completed!
