Xu Wen led all the soldiers of the Independent Brigade and followed Tang Shengzhi and his party into Nanjing City, but declined Tang Shengzhi's offer to help them clean up their troubles.

The reason is very simple. Other soldiers of the national army are still bleeding and dying on the front line, fighting bloody battles with the Japanese. It is inappropriate for them to hold a grand celebration banquet in the rear.

Therefore, Tang Shengzhi admired Xu Wen even more, and finally, in the name of garrison commander, sent a batch of precious living materials to Xu Wen, Zhou Weiguo and other independent brigade soldiers, including pork, mutton and other meat, poultry and eggs.

A very rare food during the war years, a treat for the Independence Brigade.

Xu Wen did not refuse this kind offer and accepted it happily. After all, the troops also needed to rest and eat. With the supplies sent by Tang Shengzhi, there was no need to exchange them.

At the same time that Xu Wen and his independent brigade withdrew to Nanjing, they began to rest and recuperate.

Yoshika Ryosuke, acting commander-in-chief of the Japanese Army in Central China, also brought the main force of his 9th Division into Jiaxing County.

As for the main forces such as the 18th Division and the 11th Division, they have already entered Hangzhou.

Knowing that the Independent Brigade had abandoned its defense in Hangzhou and that its own troops were in vain, Yoshijia Liangfu ordered the troops to enter Jiaxing to rest and recuperate, and not to continue to advance to Hangzhou.

Almost as soon as he sat down at the temporary headquarters and was about to take a rest, Chief of Staff Tajiu Lixiong immediately ran over with a heavy face, stood at attention and saluted him: "General, I just received reliable news that the China Army Independent Brigade has

Withdrawn to Nanjing!"

"What? They have withdrawn to Nanjing?" Yoshitaka Ryosuke was shocked, stood up suddenly and asked: "Is the news sure to be reliable?"

Tajiu Toshio nodded and said: "Reliable, this is the report sent back by the special advance team of the 13th Division!"

Yoshika Ryosuke gritted his teeth in hatred and said: "Bagaya Road! These bastards escaped so fast!"

Saying that, Yoshika Ryosuke changed the subject and ordered in a deep voice: "Pass my order, the 3rd Division will stay in Shanghai, the 114th Division will stay in Hangzhou, the 9th, 11th, and 18th Divisions, and the 5th Independent Heavy Artillery Brigade.

Regiment, set off immediately and rush back to Nanjing to join the war!

This time, we not only want to capture Nanjing, but we also want to eliminate the Independence Brigade in one fell swoop and capture Zhu Ziming and Zhou Weiguo alive!"

"Hai!" Tajiu Lixiong quickly lowered his head and accepted the order.

…

In Nanjing City, Tang Shengzhi specially designated a temporary garrison for the Independent Brigade near Shuixi Gate for the soldiers of the Independent Brigade to rest and station.

Taking the supplies sent by Tang Shengzhi, Xu Wen asked the soldiers to cook for themselves, and asked Chen Zhenglun to purchase drinks, preparing to give a little reward to the officers and soldiers of the Independent Brigade.

After all, they are all meritorious officials who have narrowly escaped death and made many military exploits. There will definitely be a bloody battle next. It is not too much to let them eat a good meal and rest for a night before rushing to the front line to participate in the battle.

Because the rewards from the National Government and the Garrison Theater Command were still there, Xu Wen did not need to redeem drinks from the warehouse, because there were still big battles to be fought and swords to be shown, so there were many places where points needed to be used.

I went, so I can save points if I can.

Zhou Weiguo was busy looking for Xiao Ya, while Xu Wen took some time to sleep. He had been marching and fighting during this period, and Xu Wen didn't even get a full night's sleep.

However, just when Xu Wengang lay down, the system suddenly made a sound: "Ding dong, the system self-update and maintenance have been completed! The maintenance changes are as follows. In the future, the host will no longer be limited to the host himself for killing enemies, exploding equipment, and obtaining points rewards.

As long as you are a subordinate of the host and commanded by the host personally, you can get explosive equipment or point rewards."

"Will this rule be implemented from now on?" Xu Wen was awakened and asked in surprise.

The system immediately replied: "It was already implemented when you attacked the Japanese headquarters in Central China. However, the update and maintenance have not been completed yet, so there is no active prompt."

"Oh!" Xu Wen nodded clearly. No wonder he was able to get points as reward when he attacked the Japanese headquarters with poison gas bombs, even though he didn't fire the cannon himself.

The benefits brought by this upgrade of the system are obvious, which means that the explosive equipment and point rewards will increase exponentially in the future, so you don't have to worry about running out of points.

Therefore, Xu Wen was almost too excited to fall asleep. Finally, he took out an inflatable doll from the system's portable warehouse and studied it for a while before falling asleep exhausted.

That night, the Independence Brigade prepared a large amount of wine and meat in the camp, and Zhou Weiguo also rushed back from Xiao Ya temporarily.

Join Xu Wen and have a drink with all the officers and soldiers!

The next day, just after dawn, Xu Wen and the others were awakened by a loud sound of air raid sirens.

Xu Wen immediately put on his clothes and ran out of the room, and met Zhou Weiguo and Chen Zhenglun who were also awakened.

Zhou Weiguo said: "Brother, it should be the Japanese planes coming to attack Nanjing."

Xu Wen nodded and said, "Well, let's go to the brigade headquarters."

The three of them came to the outside of the brigade headquarters hand in hand. Sun Fugui, who was left behind at the brigade headquarters, hurriedly ran out, stood at attention and saluted the three of them: "Brigade Commander, Chief of Staff, the garrison headquarters just called.

The phone call said that Zijin Mountain is in emergency, and Chief Tang ordered us to rush to Zijin Mountain’s rescue immediately!”

"I understand." Xu Wen nodded and said to Zhou Weiguo: "Weiguo, the terrain of Purple Mountain is dangerous and it is the barrier to the south of Nanjing. There must be no room for failure!

I will hand over the reserve group to you, and you can go and reinforce the Purple Mountain front line!"

"No problem!" Zhou Weiguo happily accepted the order!

Xu Wen continued: "But the terrain over there is difficult and not conducive to the maneuverability of tanks and armored vehicles, so I can only give you ten Panzer IV tanks and ten Humvee military vehicles!

The other tanks and armored vehicles have to stay, and I have to reorganize the troops!"

Xu Wen now has more than 51.7 million redemption points in his hand, and there are more than 100,000 national troops inside and outside Nanjing. He can expand his troops at any time if he wants.

Therefore, he cannot go to Purple Mountain with Zhou Weiguo!

Zhou Weiguo nodded happily and said: "No problem!" The reserve group was fully equipped with American weapons. In addition, it was also equipped with a large number of Japanese machine guns and other automatic firearms.

And after experiencing so many battles behind enemy lines and the baptism of bloody battles, it has grown into an absolutely elite force. Although there are only more than a thousand people, its combat effectiveness is stronger than a division of other national armies.

Even without these ten No. 4 tanks and ten anti-aircraft vehicles, Zhou Weiguo is confident that he can lead them to defend the Purple Mountain position!

"Well, Chief of Staff, you also go with Wei Guo to help him command the troops! When I have reorganized the troops, I will personally lead troops to reinforce you!" Xu Wen said to Chen Zhenglun again.

"Yes!" Chen Zhenglun also solemnly agreed. After saluting Xu Wen with Zhou Weiguo, he turned around and took the order to leave.
Chapter completed!
