"Go and go and take a look!"

At this moment, Zhong Yi didn't ask any more questions and followed Zhu Liangcheng to the side of Zhongshan Road.

At this time, all the buildings west of Zhongshan Road, from Zhongshan East Road to Huaqiao Road, had been destroyed by the Japanese's heavy artillery, and there was no other sight except piles of rubble.

Zhong Yi, Zhu Liangcheng and several scouts from the reconnaissance company quietly approached Zhongshan Road with the cover of rubble. It was not until it was less than fifty meters away from Zhongshan Road that it finally stopped.

Because the Japanese have set up a guard post west of Zhongshan Road, it is easy to be discovered further forward.

Hiding behind a pile of rubble, Zhong Yi raised his telescope and looked in front of him. He saw two Japanese soldiers with live ammunition standing on the bell tower of a church in front!

Behind the church, there were screams and scolding.

Zhu Liangcheng whispered: "The devils seem to drive away the refugees hiding in the church."

Zhong Yi nodded and whispered: "Let's go, and then go to the intersection of Guofu in the north to take a look."

At that moment, Zhong Yi and his group quietly walked north with the cover of rubble. After walking a few hundred meters, they arrived at Xindu Theater. However, the once magnificent theater was now only a pile of burnt rubble.

To the north of Xindu Theater, it is next to Guofu Road. There are many Japanese posts on Guofu Road, which are simply three steps and five steps. However, the Japanese here are not from Kumamoto, but from Kanazawa United. The Japanese of Kanazawa United did not participate in the attack on Xinjiekou.

Zhu Liangcheng whispered, "Tuanzu, you're weird. Why didn't the Japanese on this side of Guofu Road hit us?"

Why didn’t the Japanese on Guofu Road attack Xinjiekou? Zhong Yi could probably guess the reason, most of the reason was that the stubborn guy, Hirohiko Asakagumiya, was unwilling to lose his military achievements.

However, Zhong Yi doesn't care about this now, he is more concerned about the situation in the safe area.

So Zhong Yi ignored Zhu Liangcheng and just held up his telescope and looked west across Zhongshan Road.

Diagonally opposite Xindu Theater, Jinling Middle School is across Zhongshan Road. Zhong Yi looked forward and saw that the lights inside Jinling Middle School were brightly lit, and teams of Japanese with live ammunition were escorting groups of refugees from the inside. When the refugees walked a little slower, they would immediately be beaten or even shot by the Japanese!

The several scouts accompanying him were so angry that they instinctively wanted to shoot.

Zhu Liangcheng quickly stopped him and said in a deep voice: "Don't act rashly!"

When I looked back at Zhong Yi, I saw that Zhong Yi’s eyes were erratic and he had fallen into deep thought!

Seeing Zhong Yi like this, Zhu Liangcheng didn't dare to say a word, for fear of disturbing his thinking!

After a quarter of an hour, Zhong Yi suddenly thrust hard and shouted: "God helps me, this is really God helps me! I originally thought that at least a few more days would there be such a good opportunity, but I didn't expect it to come today!"

"What?" Zhu Liangcheng turned around and looked at Zhong Yi with a blank expression, "Tuanzu, what did you say?"

Zhong Yi did not explain, but just retreated and said, "Old Zhu, go back, let's go back to the regiment headquarters!"

Although he was full of questions, Zhu Liangcheng did not ask any more questions, but took An Zhenyuan and others and followed Zhong Yi and quietly returned to the Central News Agency.

As soon as he returned to the Central News Agency, Zhong Yi immediately summoned the officers above the battalion.

At this time, the composition of officers above the 367th Regiment Battalion had changed a lot.

The establishment of the troops has not changed, and there are still five main battalions and several direct troops, but the chief officer has been changed.

The 1st Battalion Commander has changed from Chu Gangchang to He Yunpeng, the 2nd Battalion Commander He Ajiu also died, now it has been Liang Feng, and the 3rd Battalion Commander Yang Chen has died. The current 3rd Battalion Commander is also a veteran of the Tax Police Corps, named Zhao Zhiguo, and the Independent 7th Battalion Commander Chen Yaoting has also died. The current Independent 7th Battalion Commander is Yuan Qiang.

Sun Zhi, the commander of the Independent 1st Battalion, is the only one who survived the five main battalion commanders, but he was seriously injured. He is now lying in bed and cannot fight again in a short period of time. Now the acting commander of the Sichuan Army is Li Sifu.

In addition, there are also the commander of the logistics battalion Guo Qi, the commander of anti-aircraft artillery Chen Xian, the commander of communications Shi Huaiyu, and Qiu Qingquan, who had just been appointed as the chief of staff of the 367th Regiment by Zhong Yi. Of course, the person is now called Qiu Quan.

After all the battalion commanders arrived, Zhong Yi said to Zhu Liangcheng: "Old Zhu, let me tell you about the situation first."

"Yes!" Zhu Liangcheng agreed, stood up and said, "According to reconnaissance, the Japanese army had just sent at least one infantry brigade to the International Security Zone and occupied a block close to Zhongshan Road. Judging from the current situation, the Japanese did not want to forcibly cancel the security zone, but just wanted to isolate the security zone from the Xinjiekou battlefield!"

Hearing this, the battalion commanders at the meeting changed their faces in a short while. The Japanese were cutting off the firewood from the bottom of the pot!

He Yunpeng immediately stood up and shouted: "Royal Head, the Japanese are going to give us a pot to remove firewood and block the passage of the defeated troops in the safe area into our 367th Regiment's defense zone. Therefore, the Japanese must not be allowed to gain a foothold west of Zhongshan Road. I ask the regiment headquarters to immediately allow the 1st Battalion to attack and occupy the block west of Zhongshan Road!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Liang Feng, Yuan Qiang and other main battalion commanders also stood up and took the initiative to ask for the battle.

Qiu Qingquan couldn't help but look at him sideways. He knew that the morale of the 367th Regiment must be good, but he still didn't expect that the morale of the 367th Regiment would rise to this level. Faced with difficulties, before the regiment commander Zhong Yi gave the order, several main battalion commanders volunteered to fight! This is very rare in the national army!

Zhong Yi glanced at him, and several main battalion commanders silenced.

Zhong Yi then snorted and said, "When did I say I was going to attack?"

After a pause, Zhong Yi said again: "Not to mention that the blocks west of Zhongshan Road are easy to attack and difficult to defend, our 367th Regiment has no extra troops to guard. Even if it can be defended, what should the Japanese occupy the blocks further west then? Can they isolate the safe zone from us?"

Liang Feng said: "You can't do nothing, right?"

"It is of course impossible to do nothing!" Zhong Yi smiled and said, "The Japanese thought that they occupied the block west of Zhongshan Road and isolated the safety zone from us, and that they could remove the firewood from the bottom of the cauldron, and solve the hidden dangers of the defeated soldiers in the safe zone joining our 367th Regiment once and for all, but it is too naive!"

After a pause, Zhong Yi said again: "Little did you know that you made a bigger mistake instead!"

Hearing this, Liang Feng, Chen Xian and other battalion commanders immediately looked at each other. The Japanese did this and made a bigger mistake. In the middle, only Qiu Qingquan's expression moved slightly, as if he had realized something.

Zhong Yi kept looking at Qiu Qingquan and asked immediately: "Chief Staff Qiu, tell me, what mistake did the Japanese make?"
Chapter completed!
