Chapter 30
"Still no results?"
Lieutenant General Yoshizumi asked his Chief of Staff, Inoue Naoto.
"No! The Seventh Regiment had already searched everywhere, but they still could not find any traces of the Chinese Army. Jin Ling City was too big, and there were too many buildings. It was too easy to hide some people at night. Moreover, the imperial army had just entered Jinling, and they were not familiar with the situation in the city. It would not be easy to find them at night!”
Inoue Naoto said it directly. They were not familiar with Jinling at all, and they did not know the situation in the city. On the other hand, the people from the pre-first team were very clear.
"The entire city is currently being searched. These Chinese soldiers can't have gone far. The 19th Regiment and the 36th Regiment were mobilized to search. I don't believe that these Chinese people can go to heaven.”
Lieutenant General Jizhuo slammed his fist on the table. From the time they had built the army until now, there had never been a record of a regiment flag being lost. If they lost the first regiment flag in his hands, he would be lucky to survive, let alone get promoted and become rich.
The big shots in the country were forgiving him by not allowing him to commit suicide.
At this moment, Inoue Naoto did not say anything about the fatigue of the soldiers, because the loss of a flag was too important!
If the flag of the regiment is still there, the establishment will still exist. If the flag of the regiment is lost, the establishment will be reduced!
...............
The 9th division was busy searching for the alliance flag, while the other divisions were busy searching for the national army that they hated. No matter how tired they were, they couldn't go back to rest because if you wanted to go back, the national army would come out and give you a blow, making it impossible for you to go back.
If you search for them, they will hide.
To put it in one sentence, if the enemy was stationed, I would harass him. If the enemy advanced, I would retreat. If the enemy retreated, I would advance!
En, these twelve words were used vividly. If the Japanese wanted to fight head-on, they would immediately leave. If the Japanese wanted to leave, they would immediately attack!
Tonight was a sleepless night for the Japanese. To them, it was destined to be a busy night.
.................
The sky was starting to brighten. Seeing that there were no more results, the Japanese returned home. They could only hope that the Chinese soldiers would not harass them again.
They had not slept for two days and two nights!
If this continued, the Iron Man would melt.
This time, the national army did not disturb their return to camp because the soldiers of the First Regiment had already snuck into the area they had searched to find a place to sleep.
The 9th division also gave up on searching. They really couldn't find anything!
A night passed, but he didn't see a single hair.
The sky was bright, and the hundreds of thousands of Japanese in Jin Ling City finally entered their dreams. They had not slept for two days and two nights, and this time, they fell into a deep sleep.

The Military Camp in Wu Han
The chairman was sitting on an armchair with a cane in his hand. There were many generals in the room. Beside him was a man in a gray robe and a pair of glasses. He also held a cane in his hand and sat on an armchair. He was about fifty years old, and his entire body exuded a dignified and peaceful aura.
The surrounding generals all looked at this person with a trace of respect. This person was called Zhang Xingzhong, a veteran of the Congress Party. He was the first batch of people to follow the former Prime Minister and the earliest team formed by the Congress Party.
In terms of prestige, there were only a few people in the National Congress who could match him.
He was also Zhang Wenbin's father!
The chairman looked at He Jingzhi and said,""Is there still no news about the first group?”
"No! We haven't received any news about the First Regiment.”
He Jingzhi shook his head and sighed.
"Where is the commander of the 88th Division, Sun Yuanliang? Did you generate electricity for him?"
The chairman's face darkened as he looked at He Jingzhi and asked.
"Sun Yuanliang said that before the city fell, Young Master Zhang had already led the Yu-1 Regiment into the city. At that time, he thought that the Yu-1 Regiment was going to pass through Jin Ling City and retreat to Xia Pass, so he didn't care.”
He Jingzhi looked at Zhang Xingzhong this time.
Zhang Xingzhong didn't say a word and just sat there. No one could tell what he was thinking.
The chairman slowly glanced at Zhang Xingzhong, then turned to look at Tang Mengxiao, who had rushed back the day before yesterday.
"What do you want to say?"
Cold sweat dripped down Tang Mengxiao's forehead. He had thought that Zhang Wenbin, this young master, would leave early, but who knew that there was still no news of him. After all, who among the descendants of the founding families didn't cherish their lives? Who would risk their lives fighting the Japanese on the front lines?
"Please give me some time. I'm willing to go to the first part of Anhui to search.”
Tang Mengxiao knew that both the chairman and Zhang Xingzhong were furious.
What kind of person is Meng Xiao of Tang Dynasty?
Back then, he was the leader of the Xiang Army. Of course, that was only back then. He had a shallow foundation in the National Party, and he did not have an army. If the only son of the old Zhang family died, Zhang Xingzhong would definitely kill him and bury him with his son.
In order to appease the anger of these elders, the chairman would also take the blame. Tang Mengxiao was the best candidate, because in Jin Ling City, Tang Mengxiao and Zhang Wenbin had conflicts.
"What's the use of going now? He heard that the Japanese had already occupied Pukou. By the time you reach the Huai River and Huai River regions, they would have already fallen.”
Zhang Xingzhong spoke. Tang Mengxiao froze. The chairman turned to look at Zhang Xingzhong.
"Wenbin has been a playboy for more than ten years. Back then, he insisted on joining the army to serve the party and country. Now, his wish can be considered fulfilled! Dying for the country is a worthy death."
Zhang Xingzhong suddenly sighed, his tone somewhat depressed.
"Elder Zhang, perhaps Young Master Zhang is not dead. After all, Young Master Zhang has enough time to leave Jinling. He might be in that place and can't contact us for the time being.”
He Jingzhi consoled.
"Haha!"
"You don't have to comfort an old man like me." Zhang Xingzhong shook his head with a bitter smile. How dangerous was the defense of Jinling, and how many devils were there? With so many troops not being able to escape, it would be extremely difficult for him to escape.
Sigh! Sacrificing his life for the country was as he wished. There's no need to comfort an old man.”
After saying that, Zhang Xingzhong slowly walked out. His footsteps seemed to be a little staggering, and his back seemed a little bleak.
"Humph! Take care of yourself!"
The chairman snorted coldly and got up to catch up with Zhang Xingzhong with his cane.
..............
At noon, Zhang Wenbin slowly woke up. Although he did not sleep last night, he had slept enough during the day, so seven or eight hours of sleep in the morning was enough.
Unlike the Japanese, who were still in a deep sleep.
Zhang Wenbin casually ate some dry food and gave up. Now, there were Japanese around. It was impossible for them to eat cooked food. They could only eat dry food unless they wanted to be discovered by the Japanese.
"Guild Leader, you're awake!"
When Wu Deshui saw that Zhang Wenbin had woken up and eaten, he ran over with a smile and asked.
"You're all back? How are the casualties?"
Zhang Wenbin lit a cigarette and asked slowly.
"No casualties. What casualties could there be? Last night, the Japanese were completely confused. How could they have touched us? The results of the battle were not small. I just counted that the number of Japanese that our 6th Battalion killed was no less than 600 to 700.”
Wu Deshui chuckled. Last night, they had been walking their dogs and shooting from time to time. The Japanese who had not slept for too long were in a daze and could not react at all.
