Let’s talk about the main force of the National Army who broke through Nanjing and the remnants of the 367th Regiment.

At this time, the troops breaking through Nanjing, including the remnants of the 367th Regiment, had already moved to Langxi in southern Anhui, and Langxi was still under the control of the national army at this time.

When he heard that the troops who broke through Nanjing arrived in Langxi, Gu Zhutong, commander-in-chief of the 3rd War Zone, quickly led Luo Zhuoying, commander-in-chief of the 19th Army, to set off from Xuancheng.

Luo Zhuoying no longer served as deputy commander-in-chief of Nanjing Garrison District at this time.

Since Luo Zhuoying was Chen Cheng's hardcore confidant, the failure of the Nanjing Defense War did not have any adverse effects on him, so he came back and continued to be the commander-in-chief of the 19th Army.

As the commander-in-chief of the 3rd War Zone, Gu Zhutong commanded four armies and an independent brigade. However, this time he came to Langxi, he did not bring anyone, except Luo Zhuoying. The intention was self-evident. It was obvious that in order to create opportunities for Luo Zhuoying, he recruited the remnants of the National Army who broke through Nanjing.

Although the remnants who broke through Nanjing each have their own backgrounds, including the former 87th Division, the former 88th Division, the teaching corps, and even the 66th Army and the 83rd Army, these remnants have long disrupted the system. In addition, the situation requires it, there is nothing wrong with incorporating the third war zone on the spot.

Gu Zhutong rode forward on the horse and said, "Brother Luo, I have given you the opportunity. Whether you can recruit the remnants of the broken-out from Nanjing and how many people can be recruited depends on your ability."

"Don't worry, Chief." Luo Zhuoying understood, "I understand the humble position."

"Brother, remember to do it quickly!" Gu Zhutong thought for a while and said, "I heard that Xue Yue has officially applied to the commissioner, asking for the more than 50,000 remaining troops who broke through Nanjing to add to his First Corps! Your elder brother Ci Xiu is also in a dilemma for this. It is not true that you support Xue Yue, and it is not even worse if you don't support it."

"Don't worry, headmaster." Luo Zhuoying nodded, "I know what to do."

Gu Zhutong nodded softly, suddenly remembered something again, and said, "By the way, there is another thing. Although Zhong Yi has sacrificed his life for the country, his 367th Regiment still has more than 300 remaining soldiers. These more than 300 remaining soldiers are amazing. They are all elite. You need to focus on recruiting them!"

After pausing, Gu Zhutong said again: "I have heard from someone. Liu Yuanlin, the commander of the guard brigade of the chairman's servant room, and Shi Zude, the commander of the special brigade, all greeted the committee members and called on the name to ask that these more than 300 remaining soldiers be incorporated into their troops. If you are slow, this piece of fat will be cheaper for others."

Luo Zhuoying said: "Master, I don't hide it from you. In fact, Bei Zhi has already sent people to contact the more than 300 remaining soldiers of the 367th Regiment, and has specially arranged a good show for them!"

"Oh, is that?" Gu Zhu said, "Then I will wait and see."

Luo Zhuoying looked up at the sky and said, "Standard, it's getting dark. Let's hurry up, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to reach Langxi County before midnight."

Gu Zhutong nodded.

The two of them quickly rushed straight to Langxi County.

...

In Langxi County, shelter station.

More than 300 remaining soldiers from the 367th Regiment will temporarily settle in the shelter station.

After the failure of the Nanjing Defense War, the commander of the National Army set up a large number of shelter stations in southern Anhui, northern Anhui and southern Jiangsu to accommodate the remnants of the National Army who fled and retreated from the Nanjing battlefield.

However, it should be noted that these shelter stations are places provided by local governments in accordance with the requirements of the headquarters, and are not dispatched agencies of the headquarters, because the headquarters does not have so much manpower and financial resources to set up shelter stations in various places.

In addition, the Command Department also clearly requires local governments to provide food for shelter stations to ensure the lives of the remnants of the national army.

But unfortunately, the order issued by the commander to the local governments has basically become a piece of paper. Because the local government cannot even complete the grain collection task sent by the central government, I wish I could break the grain in the warehouse into two pieces. Where can I get the excess grain to feed the remaining soldiers in the shelter station?

Therefore, the remnants of the National Army who moved into the shelter station basically had to find ways to solve the food, whether it was stealing, asking for it, or even robbing it. Anyway, the local government would not provide even a grain of food.

The 300,000 Sichuan troops who came out of Sichuan with great pride were finally disgusted by someone.

Although the 367th Regiment was already famous at this time, even if this was the case, the Langxi County Government could not take out food to support them. The lives of the people in Langxi County were originally extremely hard, and it was even more impossible to take out excess food to support the national army. Therefore, the more than 300 remaining soldiers of the 367th Regiment could only find a way to solve the food.

Today it was the turn of the baggage battalion commander Guo Qi to go out to raise grain.

In the evening, when he saw Guo Qi coming back with his hands on his hands, He Yunpeng, Liang Feng, Yuan Qiang and others who were guarding the gate immediately showed disappointment on their faces. It seemed that they were going to go hungry again tonight.

Speaking of which, since they entered the Langxi County shelter station, they seemed to have only had two porridge meals.

Liuzi sighed, leaned against Shen Xian, the commander of the anti-aircraft artillery, and said weakly: "Battleman, hungry."

Shen Xian also sighed, reached out to stroke Liuzi's eyes, and said, "Close your eyes and go to bed. If you fall asleep, you won't be hungry."

Liuzi really closed his eyes and tried hard to fall asleep, but he couldn't fall asleep for a long time. He opened his eyes and said, "Yingzuo, I'm too hungry to sleep."

Li Sifu stood up and said angrily: "Son of the Turtle, I'll go to find County Magistrate Langxi, I don't believe it. He can't even take out a few hundred kilograms of grain in a county town?"

"It's useless to find it." Yuan Qiang walked out of the gate with a cane and shook his head, "You can't even enter the gate!"

"What did you say? We didn't let the door enter?" Li Sifu said in anger more and more, "Son of the turtle, if he dares not let me enter, I will blow him up!"

"Okay, don't yell." Sun Zhi said angrily, "Do you want to rebel?"

Li Sifu was immediately silent, and after a while he sighed, "Oh, it would be great if the rank was still there. If the rank was there, he would definitely have a way and would definitely not let everyone go hungry."

When Li Sifu mentioned Zhong Yi, the faces of several battalion commanders immediately became gloomy.

Although none of them believed that Zhong Yi had died in battle, the cruel reality was that Zhong Yi did not arrive in Langxi to meet with the big guy within the scheduled time limit.

It has been two days since Zhong Yi still has no one.
