The contented perimeter wind also fell into a deep sleep, rising and falling several times, until the next morning, the plane finally slowly stopped on the airport runway.

Today's airport is called Gaoqiao Airport, although it is also located in the southeast of the city, but it is much closer than the later Lukou International Airport.

It is named Gaoqiao because it is next to the Gaoqiao Gate of Guocheng outside Nanjing, and if you want to enter the city when you leave the airport, you will generally enter the city through there.

Nowadays, due to the rapid development of urbanization in Nanjing, the urban area has been very large, which used to be limited to the main city wall and its surroundings, but now it has expanded to the entire outer Guocheng area.

The two counties of Shangyuan and Jiangning, which have been used so far, seem to be a little insufficient, so Yingtianfu added a new attached Guo County in the southeast direction, named Shangxian County.

For a long time, Nanjing is the largest and most prosperous city in the country, and Gu Qiyuan, the servant of the Ministry of Officials during the Wanli period, once described: And the boat of the water temple is still offered, and the provincial temple of Beijing is not changed, so the peace of the Wan Shi, the meaning is far away, and the old state of the previous generation can be obtained!

Nanjing's urbanization process originated from the period of reform and restructuring many years ago, but the speed was relatively slow, and it was not until the establishment of the constitution and the stability of all parties that the urbanization process was greatly accelerated, and now the registered population of urban areas exceeds 1.5 million without considering the population of towns and villages.

However, in Zhou Changfeng's opinion, it seems a bit out of place to use this as the capital of the country now? Because the capital of a country is the most important political center, followed by the economic and cultural center.

In the classical era, Nanjing did meet these three points, but in the industrial age, Shanghai in the Yangtze River Delta really had a unique advantage, and its status as an economic center was almost unshakable.

Zhou Changfeng's memory contains some fragments of Shanghai in the Ming Dynasty, such as Shanghai County, although it appeared very early, but there was no city wall, until the Jiajing period was invaded by the Japanese invaders before the crowdfunding was rushed to build the city; In modern times, because of its increasing prosperity, it was upgraded to Zhili Prefecture, and then continued to be upgraded to a prefecture, merged with Songjiang Prefecture, and continued to use the name of Shanghai.

The current Shanghai Prefecture is said to have a permanent population of 7 million? Gathering all kinds of industrial, commercial and financial industries, the word "prosperity" is indescribable.

Moreover, there is the largest shipbuilding base in Asia, where the first battleship of the Ming Dynasty was launched; After years of construction and development, there are now a total of one 352-meter dock, two 320-meter docks, one 256-meter slipway, two 240-meter slipways, and a large number of small and medium-sized docks and slipways.

There are some taxis waiting outside Gaoqiao Airport, the number is not much, and you can count them on both hands, the reason is still because the people who take the plane in these years are not rich or expensive, the number of people is small, and the number of flights is small, so there are not many drivers who choose to come to the airport to pick up passengers.

It seems that taxi drivers in any time, place, and place are very talkative?

The smug driver spoke a standard Nanjing official dialect and the circumference of the wind, the situation at home and abroad, the newly opened green building, the recently released movies, etc., and the journey did not stop for half an hour.

In the end, the taxi, which was based on the Yuanhang car, stopped outside the garrison command and envoy, and after paying the money, Zhou Changfeng got out of the car and stopped for a few seconds at the gate of the heavily guarded official office before he stepped forward to hand in his documents.

The so-called "Garrison Command and Envoy" is actually the garrison headquarters of the Beijing Division, formerly known as the famous "Nanjing Garrison Office" - the Nanjing Guards, which is in charge of Nanjing's defense affairs.

A lieutenant on duty looked at his "official disk" and said in surprise: "Heh, sir, are you coming back now?" ”

"My battalion was withdrawn early to rest, I... Came back for surgery. ”

"I see... Come in! The lieutenant nodded and gave a chest salute, and the soldiers on either side also saluted with their guns.

The history of the chest stroking ceremony is very long, originating from the ancient period of the Turkic language family, and continuing from generation to generation in the northern peoples, from the beginning of the founding of the country, there have been a large number of northern ethnic soldiers in the Ming army - after the fall of the Yuan Dynasty, many Yuan troops were also incorporated into the Ming army, not to mention the Mongolian and Manchurian soldiers who served in other ways, so the chest stroking ceremony has been handed down.

Today's regulations stipulate that the chest stroking ceremony is different from the chest stroking ceremony in the classical era - it requires the right hand to be held flat, the five fingers together, and the palm of the palm is pressed inward on the chest, and the occasion is similar to the fist holding ceremony, except that the chest stroking ceremony is more respectful.

Zhou Changfeng came to the garrison command for the purpose of registering and asking for leave, in fact, he could go to the garrison of the mixed 3rd Brigade to do this, but the station was in the west of the city, too far away, so he simply chose to come here nearby.

After solemnly handing over the small bag containing the identity badges of more than a dozen daredevils, Zhou Changfeng was asked to recount the entire battle in detail.

So, after waiting for a cup of tea, he was taken to a small parlor, where two lieutenant colonels, one colonel, one brigadier general, and two female stenographers came in succession.

The Battle of Demagi was the key to the border war, and it was rightfully taken seriously.

"I've seen you, sir." Zhou Changfeng stood up and saluted.

The brigadier general at the head looked unsmiling, very serious, he said "um", and said: "We have read the battle report, but the specific details should not be let go, you try to answer in detail and objectively." ”

"Yes, I know." Zhou Changfeng, who sat upright, first talked about the small battle of the Nujiang steel cable suspension bridge, and then began to arrive at Lingzhi and was ordered to be in danger, and described the specific process of the whole battle in detail in stages.

During this time, two female stenographers crackled on the keyboard, and the typewriter was like a piano in their hands.

Shaoqing, the colonel with the national character face took the lead in asking: "What is your overall impression of the British and Indian Army?" ”

"Arrogant, casual, and despise our army, but they react quickly and can quickly adjust their deployment after encountering a lesson. Tactically, infantry tactics are relatively rigid, the will to fight is average, and there is nothing to be affirmed. Zhou Changfeng replied.

"Well, what about the artillery?"

"Without taking into account arrogance, the quality alone is very good, the speed of opening a communication network is very fast, coordination with the front-line troops is very efficient, it is more flexible, and it does not depend too much on the predetermined shelling plan."

Immediately, another lieutenant colonel wearing square-rimmed glasses also asked, "I am from the General Staff Office of the Metropolitan Governor's Office, responsible for the theoretical research of the chariot troops, may I ask, these are the enemy chariots encountered by your department, right?" ”

He handed over four photographs of the A9 cruiser and the Carden-Lloyd MkV ultralight tank.

Hearing that he was in charge of the theoretical research of armored forces, Zhou Changfeng did not dare to slack off, and he knew that his answer was likely to play a role in the future construction of armored forces in the Ming Dynasty.

Some people think that tanks should be heavy, slow, and dispersed with infantry to advance, some people think that tanks should be light and flexible, and use them intensively to break through the defense line, and some people think that tanks should cooperate with cavalry, and so on.

Due to the lack of actual combat experience, everyone can only explore through theoretical speculation and exercises, and now every actual combat experience is precious, and the Battle of Demagi is no exception.
