At the same time, in Nanjing.

Zhong Yi and the others have returned to the regiment headquarters of the Central News Agency.

After returning to the regiment headquarters, Zhong Yi fell into a long silence.

Zhong Yi originally thought that the devils must have been exhausted to the extreme after a long period of high-intensity marching and high-intensity combat, and the battle to capture Nanjing was like a bamboo, so it was unlikely that he would build fortifications outside Nanjing.

From a normal person's point of view, there is no such thing at all?

Do you think that more than 200,000 Japanese troops are like a rainbow, and more than 100,000 national troops are defeated like a mountain, and they can occupy Nanjing without much effort, and it is necessary to build barracks and fortifications when they camp at night? Are you full?

However, the devils built a camp and surrounded Nanjing!

At this time, it was completely unexpected by Zhong Yi, and it directly disrupted his plan!

……

Originally, Zhong Yi's plan was like this.

After reawakening the security zone, the more than 100,000 Nationalist troops were routed, and they first held on to the city of Nanjing for three to five days, and after three or five days, the Japanese troops in the Nanjing battlefield were almost exhausted and could not launch a large-scale attack, because when they advanced to Nanjing, in order to pursue the speed of the march, the Japanese army did not carry much ammunition.

According to historical records, it will take at least a week for the supplies of the Japanese army to arrive!

Then, there will be at least two more days in between, and these two days will be the only window for 500,000 people in Nanjing to escape!

At that time, the 367th Regiment will counterattack from Hanxi Gate, Shuixi Gate and Zhonghua Gate.

Because the Japanese army had little ammunition left, and the Japanese army was physically and mentally exhausted due to long-term fighting, its combat effectiveness was bound to decline seriously; conversely, after three or five days of brutal fighting among more than 100,000 officers and men of the 367th Regiment, they would become more familiar with each other and trust each other, and their combat effectiveness would be enhanced.

In view of this, Zhong Yi is confident that he will break through the devil's interception in one day and occupy Dashengguan, Niushou Mountain, Fangshan and Yichunhua Town, and this time, the railway and highway from Nanjing to southern Anhui will be opened!

Then, the 500,000 people in Nanjing can be calmly transferred!

Of course, in the middle of this, the devil will definitely fight back.

Therefore, the 367th Regiment still needs to hold the two flanks of the line of communication.

This will definitely be an unprecedentedly tragic battle, according to Zhong Yi's estimate, when all 500,000 people are evacuated, the 367th Regiment is estimated to be almost done.

At most, there will be 10,000 or 20,000 left!

However, even if all the hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers of the 367 Regiment are exhausted, Zhong Yi will still do it without hesitation!

Because, as a soldier of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, his belief in defending his home and the country, and his belief in sacrificing his own life for the safety of the people's lives and property, have long been integrated into his blood!

What is the Chinese People's Liberation Army? When the fire broke out, everyone was running for their lives, but they were rushing towards the fire in the opposite direction!

What is the Chinese People's Liberation Army? When the flood was flooding, everyone was evacuating, but they jumped into the surging flood with their thin bodies to plug the gap!

What is the Chinese People's Liberation Army, after the earthquake, the aftershocks in the mountains continued, but they were willing to risk being stoned to death and buried alive by mudslides to go deep into the disaster area!

Although Zhong Yi has traveled to another historical time and space, he has never forgotten that he is a soldier of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, and he has never forgotten his responsibility and mission!

……

But now, Zhong Yi's plan has gone bankrupt.

In just three days, the devils have already built a strong blockade fortification outside the city, and in another three to five days, the devils will be able to build this blockade fortification into a fortress around the city of Nanjing!

Even now, the conditions for a breakthrough are no longer available.

Three or five days later, when the devil builds the ring fortress, it will be impossible to break through!

In other words, now in front of Zhong Yi, the 110,000 officers and soldiers of the 367th Regiment and the 500,000 people in Nanjing, there is only one choice left, which is to fight to the end!

At this time, Qiu Qingquan suddenly said: "Perhaps, we can dig a tunnel!" ”

On the way back, Qiu Qingquan has also been thinking about this matter, the devil has dug a circular blockade ditch outside the city, and the second ring-shaped blockade ditch has also begun to be excavated, at this time, it is impossible for the 367th regiment to break through head-on! In the face of the devil's strong blockade ditch, as well as strong firepower, no matter how many troops are invested, it is useless.

After thinking about it, Qiu Qingquan only thought of one way, that is, to dig a tunnel and escape from the tunnel.

"Digging tunnels?" Zhong Yi shook his head and said abruptly, "Chief of Staff Qiu, forget about digging tunnels, no." ”

"You haven't tried it, how do you know it's not going to work?" Qiu Qingquan suddenly became a little excited as he spoke, and said, "I know, you want to take away the 500,000 people in Nanjing City, okay, if the people in the city want to live, just dig with us, just dig a few more." ”

Qiu Qingquan really wanted to bring out the 110,000 national troops in the city.

As a chief of staff, no one knows better than Qiu Qingquan what these 110,000 veterans mean to the national army.

For the national army, these 110,000 veterans are 110,000 seeds, that is, 110,000 grassroots officers.

Of course, the premise is that the national junta can provide sufficient weapons and equipment!

Zhong Yi's thinking is very different from Qiu Qingquan's thinking, which involves the most fundamental concept of governing the army of the Nationalist Army and the Chinese People's Liberation Army, so it is difficult to simply judge who is right and who is wrong, but from the final results of the contest, it is obvious that the concept of governing the army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army is superior.

Looking at Qiu Qingquan, who looked excited, Zhong Yi shook his head and said, "It's not okay to dig tunnels, you don't count, I don't count, let's listen to the opinions of professionals." ”

After speaking, Zhong Yi turned his head and instructed Chi Peng: "Dapeng, you go and invite Deputy Zhou Tuan over." ”

"Yes!" Chi Peng agreed, went downstairs, got on the foreign car and went straight to the southwest defense area.

About an hour later, Zhou Mengxiong, deputy commander of the 367th Regiment and commander-in-chief of the Nanjing Southwest Defense Region, arrived.

Zhou Mengxiong is also the commander of the engineer battalion of the 159th Division of the former 66th Army.

After listening to the differences between Zhong Yi and Qiu Qingquan, Zhou Mengxiong said without thinking: "Nanjing is surrounded by the Yangtze River to the west and north, and Xuanwu Lake and Purple Mountain to the east. ”

Qiu Qingquan was overjoyed when he heard this: "I'll just say, you can dig a tunnel!" ＂

PS: I'm sorry to inform you that due to irresistible reasons, the Nanjing plot has come to an end.
