At the end of October 1938, Guangzhou fell.

With the fall of the Pearl River Delta, the National Government lost the largest channel to receive international materials!

As a result, the National Government only had the Northwest Highway connected to the Soviet Union, but not only did the Northwest Highway have a long journey, but the road conditions were also poor. There were even more horse bandits along the way, and the transportation capacity was low!

In order to reverse this extremely unfavorable situation, the National Government ordered the construction of the Yunnan-Burma Highway, and urgently ordered the establishment of the East Zhejiang Coast Defense Command and the Zhejiang Anti-Enemy Self-Defense Corps. The former was to open up the Yunnan-Burma mainland transportation line, while the latter was to protect the last material input channel along the Yinjiang coast.

At this time, Yu Liangzhen was ordered to come to Yunxiulou to meet President Chang.

In the corridor on the first floor, Yu Liangzhen met Lin Wei, the director of the attendant's office.

"Brother Weiran." Yu Liangzhen did not dare to neglect Principal Chang's confidant.

"Brother Liangzhen." Lin Wei also smiled slightly. He is the confidant of Principal Chang, but isn't the one in front of him? If you want to talk about his closeness to the principal, Yu Liangzhen is even above Lin Wei.

Lin Wei smiled and said, "The principal is waiting for you in the study, hurry up and go in."

"Thank you, Brother Weiran, for your good words." Yu Liangzhen bowed to Lin Wei and walked into the study.

In the study, Principal Chang was lying on a rocking chair and closed his eyes to rest. Recently, Principal Chang was in a very bad mood. The battle of Wuhan won first and then lost, and the plan to counterattack Nanjing was failed. Then Guangzhou was declared to fall again. Seeing that the contact channels between the National Government and the outside world were about to be cut off by the Japanese invaders, how could he feel better?

Yu Liangzhen quietly walked to Principal Chang's rocking chair and whispered: "Principal."

Principal Chang opened his eyes slightly and nodded, "Liangzhen, you are here."

After saying that, as soon as Principal Chang set off, Yu Liangzhen quickly stepped forward and helped him up.

Principal Chang stood up from the rocking chair and said worriedly: "Liangzhen, how critical the situation of the Party and the country is, you should be clear. The Northwest Highway has low capacity and cannot be counted on. The Yunnan-Burma Highway has just begun to plan, and now Guangzhou has been declared to fall again, and the contact between the National Government and the outside world has almost completely cut off!"

As soon as he heard this, Yu Liangzhen knew what Principal Chang meant.

Yu Liangzhen said with gaze: "Principal, as long as he can help the Party and the country to help the difficulties, even if the students are heartbroken and broken, they will be willing to do so!"

"Okay, very good." President Chang said happily, "I knew that Liangzhen, you will never let me down."

When Yu Liangzhen heard this, he looked serious, but he couldn't help but sigh. If he could choose, he would of course be more willing to choose the position of Commander-in-Chief of the 41st Army. Not only would it be easier to be Commander-in-Chief of the Army, and there was no trouble for him, but it was also because the nine divisions of the 41st Army were all elite troops.

In addition, there is a more important point that you don’t have to bear too much responsibility as the commander-in-chief of the group army, because there is a war zone chief overhead, but it is different to be the commander-in-chief of Zhejiang Anti-Enemy Self-Defense Regiment and the commander-in-chief of Zhejiang East Sea Defense. This is a huge responsibility. If you lose Yinjiang during your tenure, you will be defeated!

Principal Chang seemed to see Yu Liangzhen's concern, waved his hand and said, "But you don't have to worry. You will never let you take office alone. I have chosen a capable helper for you."

"Assistant helper?" Yu Liangzhen said with a look of movement, "Zhong Ziren?"

"That's right, it's Zhong Ziren!" Principal Chang nodded, "Although this person is not from the Whampoa Military Academy, he is a truly capable person. Although he is a little arrogant, who is not capable of doing this? After arriving in Zhejiang, you must get along well with him and discuss with him more if you have any problems."

"I understand!" Yu Liangzhen said straightforwardly, "As long as it is not a major issue that concerns the principle of the party and the country, I will listen to him and Zhong Yi's major issues! Especially Yinjiang's military and political affairs, I will hand him over to deal with it!"

"By the way, you reminded me after saying this." Principal Chang nodded, "I remember that Zhong Ziren is also a good at handling government affairs. He has done a great job in Wuhan for more than three months, better than most mayors in our government. Even the government affairs expert Wu Tiechi praised him!"

"That's right." Yu Liangzhen said, "Zhong Ziren is indeed a good government expert."

"Okay," said Principal Chang, "Then I will give him another title. In addition to serving as the deputy chief of staff of Zhejiang Anti-Enemy Self-Defense Corps and the chief of staff of Zhejiang East Sea Defense, let him serve as the mayor of Yinjiang."

Yu Liangzhen agreed with it: "The principal's arrangement is extremely appropriate."

"You." Principal Chang smiled and pointed at Yu Liangzhen, and said, "Military information is urgent. I will not let Zhong Yi come to Chongqing to talk to him. This conversation will be done by you. In short, don't show your arrogance in Huangpu First Class, and don't show off your airs as a commander to Zhong Yi. You must learn to be polite to others."

"Yes!" Yu Liangzhen said, "Students have recorded it!"

Principal Chang waved his hand and said, "Go."

"Yes!" Yu Liangzhen turned around and left.

...

After the conversation between President Chang and Yu Liangzhen, the order to form the Zhejiang Anti-Enemy Self-Defense Regiment and the Zhejiang East Coast Defense Command was officially issued. Yu Liangzhen was appointed as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Zhejiang Anti-Enemy Self-Defense Regiment, acting commander-in-chief and commander-in-chief of the Zhejiang East Coast Defense Command.

Zhong Yi was also officially appointed by the command department as the deputy chief of staff of the Zhejiang Anti-Enemy Self-Defense Regiment and the chief of staff of the Zhejiang East Coast Defense Command. Almost at the same time, the Executive Yuan also made an appointment to appoint Zhong Yi as the mayor of Yinjiang.

The order arrived in Changde in the afternoon of the same day, and Sun Liren and others rushed to say goodbye.

At this moment, Sun Liren, Liu Yuanlin, Shi Zude, Chen Jing'an, Liu Futing, Pan Zihe, Zhou Mengxiong, Zhang Buwu and other eight people have arrived at the division headquarters of the Honorary First Division.

Just one Tuesday short of the day, the ten brigade commanders of the Wuhan Garrison District were all together.

However, Zhou Erzi will never be able to be with Sun Liren and the others.

Because after the Japanese army came to Wuhan again, Zhou Erzi took his security commander to rebel and openly surrendered to Japan as a traitor. He is now the president of the Japanese and puppet Wuhan and the commander of the first division of the puppet army.

"Zi Ren, I really didn't expect that you would go to Yinjiang in the end." Sun Liren said.

"But fortunately, it's the Chief of Staff this time." Liu Yuanlin said, "Instead of the Chief of Staff, I can make some decisions."
