Chapter 176 Xinjiekou
Looking at the army that was walking towards them in an orderly line, stomping steps, Chen Xian and the more than 30 officers and soldiers of the anti-aircraft artillery company were instantly confused.
What the hell?
It’s time to go, and there are still troops entering Nanjing?
Moreover, does this army still look like it is intact?
It shouldn't be that all the troops in Nanjing had already been in chaos at this time?
Under the gaze of Shen Xian and more than 30 officers and soldiers of the anti-aircraft artillery company, the army drove straight along Zhongshan North Road, until it was less than ten meters away from the anti-aircraft artillery position, and then stopped with a military order.
Immediately, an officer wearing a security team uniform strode forward.
Chen Xian immediately asked, "Which unit belongs to you?"
The officer is naturally Zhong Yi.
Zhong Yi replied: "The 367th Regiment of the National Revolutionary Army!"
"367th regiment?" Chen Xian's eyes widened in an instant, "You are from the 367th regiment?"
At this time, thanks to the Central News Agency's unremitting efforts in publicity and reporting, the 367th Regiment was already very famous, and most of the more than 100,000 national troops guarding Nanjing also knew their achievements.
I heard that the army in front of me was the 367th Regiment that created miracles continuously on the Songhu battlefield, and the more than 30 artillery soldiers behind Chen Xian were also excited.
Chen Xian said again: "Who is your priest?"
Chen Xian had actually guessed it vaguely, and just asked subconsciously.
Zhong Yi smiled slightly and replied: "I am the leader of the 367th Regiment Zhong Yi!"
After getting the affirmative answer, Chen Xian quickly stood up and said proudly: "Shen Xian, deputy of the Anti-aircraft Cannon Company of the 1st Battalion of the 42nd Artillery Regiment of the National Revolutionary Army, led 36 officers and soldiers of the entire company to salute all the brothers of Zhong Luzhao and the 367th Regiment!"
After saying that, Chen Xian raised his right hand and his eyebrows in a flat manner, and honored Zhong Yi with a standard military salute.
Behind Chen Xian, the 36 artillery soldiers from the anti-aircraft artillery company also raised their right hands together and saluted!
Zhong Yi returned to the Israeli military salute and asked again: "Director Chen Lian, have you not received the order? Why haven't you withdrawn?"
"We don't want to retreat!" Chen Xian shook his head and asked, "Zhong Tuanzuo, why are you entering the city at this time?"
"Why are we entering the city at this time?" Zhong Yi smiled, "It's very simple, because the order we received was to rush to the Nanjing battlefield and fight to the death with the Japanese devils!"
"Running to Nanjing to fight the decisive battle with the Japanese?"
Chen Xian and the officers and soldiers of the anti-aircraft artillery company looked at each other.
Zhong Yi said again: "Police Chen Lian, you can leave now, hurry up and evacuate!"
Of course, Zhong Yi used the provocation method, because he knew that in the original historical time and space, this deputy Shen Lian led his anti-aircraft gun company to shoot flat with anti-aircraft machine guns and killed an infantry squadron of the Japanese!
In fact, after the fall of Nanjing, there were many national military officers and soldiers like Chen Xian and the Anti-Aircraft Company.
Unfortunately, due to the lack of unified command, the desperate resistance of these warriors of the national army became their own battles, and they were easily extinguished by the Japanese!
But now, everything is different!
Because Zhong Yi and the 367th Regiment have arrived!
Sure enough, Chen Xian and the artillery soldiers of the anti-aircraft artillery company could not stand this stimulus.
Chen Xian looked excited and said loudly: "Zhongtuanzhao, I have a reluctant request!"
Zhong Yi said coldly: "Tell me!"
Chen Xian said proudly: "Please allow our anti-aircraft artillery company to join the 367th Regiment! Participate in the battle to defend Nanjing!"
Zhong Yi pretended to ponder for a moment, then rushed to Chen Xian and stretched out his right hand: "Deputy Chen Company, welcome you to join the 367th Regiment. In addition, I will announce another appointment. You have been officially appointed as the battalion commander of the anti-aircraft artillery battalion of the 367th Regiment!"
"Ga?" Chen Xian was stunned when he heard this. He was promoted to battalion commander so quickly?
The 36 artillery soldiers behind Chen Xian cheered, they were looking forward to Chen Xian’s promotion!
He organized the Shenxian anti-aircraft artillery company with no effort, and Zhong Yi asked the whole regiment to rest on the spot, and then asked Niu Dan to take the guard company and go straight to the Central Bank headquarters building on the right side of Xinjiekou.
Zhong Yi knew a lot of details about the Nanjing Defense War.
For example, the Central Bank headquarters building at Xinjiekou, before the Nanjing Defense War began, all the bank personnel had been evacuated, and the entire building was requisitioned by the Teaching Corps and turned into the Warehouse of the Teaching Corps!
The teaching corps reserved the supplies needed for eight months of combat in the Central Bank headquarters building!
This also indirectly confirms that at the beginning of the Nanjing Defense War, the Kuomintang army was really ready to defend Nanjing to the death and break with Nanjing, otherwise the teaching corps would not have prepared the military supplies needed for eight months of combat! Unfortunately, when the battle entered the most cruel and bloody street fighting stage, Chairman Jiang was timid!
Chairman Jiang was like a gambler who lost his eyes. He bet on all the gambling funds in anger, but when the cup was about to be unveiled, he regretted it again! Suddenly he couldn't bear to let go of his gambling funds! In the end, not only did the gambling funds not be saved, but he was also beaten by the thugs in the casino!
Don't talk about it, get back to the point.
Within a moment, Zhong Yi brought the guard company to the Central Bank headquarters building.
There is a high wall outside the Central Bank headquarters building and a door facing the street, but it is locked at this moment!
Zhong Yi immediately waved his head at Niu Dan. Niu Dan understood and immediately took three-eight steps forward, preparing to smash the door.
At this time, the major of the Kuomintang army who had followed outside the Xiaguan Wharf suddenly stepped forward and said, "Zhong Tuanzuo, are you going to enter the Central Bank headquarters building?"
Zhong Yi said: "That's right!"
The major said, "I have the key."
After saying that, the major took out a bunch of keys from his bag.
Zhong Yi's eyes narrowed and he asked, "Brother, who are you?"
The major corrected the military cap and replied: "I am the battalion commander of the logistics battalion of the Central Military Academy of the National Revolutionary Army, Guo Qi!"
"Are you Guo Qi?" Zhong Yi was overjoyed when he heard this. This was another survivor who had personally experienced the Nanjing Massacre. However, what excited Zhong Yi was Guo Qi's position as the commander of the baggage battalion!
Because Guo Qi has all the military supplies of the teaching corps in his hands!
At that moment, Zhong Yi pulled Guo Qi aside and asked in a low voice: "Captain Guo, are the military supplies you teach the corps all in the headquarters building of the Central Bank?"
"Yes!" Guo Qi said solemnly, "It is enough to ensure that all the military supplies needed for the more than 30,000 officers and soldiers of the Guidance Corps are in the headquarters building of the Central Bank!"
"Okay!" Zhong Yi said, "These military supplies have been requisitioned!"
He paused for a moment and said, "And you, Battalion Commander Guo, from now on, he is no longer the battalion commander of the tutoring corps, but the battalion commander of our 367th Regiment Battalion! If you have any objections, you can keep it. After the Nanjing Defense War is over, you can directly appeal to the commander!"
"I have no objection!" Guo Qi said simply.
Chapter completed!
