    On May 10, 1938, the 134th Division successfully defeated the Japanese 11th Independent Brigade and the Taiwan Wan Brigade, defeated the Japanese 4th Cavalry Brigade, and occupied Changzhou and Wuxi, two major cities in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

    On May 11, 1938, the 132nd Division, the 135th Division, and the 136th Division, which had replenished their troops and equipment, also arrived outside Nanjing and joined the 152nd Division, completely surrounding Nanjing.

    On the other side of Nanjing, at Pukou, Zhang Xingchen's Second Infantry Division was also stationed there, looking like it was preparing to launch a general battle

    "Extra! Extra! The 88th Group Army of the National Revolutionary Army gathered in Nanjing again after half a year to start the second Battle of Nanjing!"

    "Sell newspapers! Sell newspapers! General Zhou Weiguo said that he will not return unless Nanjing is conquered!"

    "Selling newspapers! Selling newspapers! The latest news, General Zhou Weiguo, commander of the Eighty-Eighth Group Army, personally commanded the battle to conquer Nanjing!"

    "Sell newspapers! Sell newspapers! The Second Battle of Jianghuai is about to be won, and one hundred thousand enemies will be wiped out! Some people call the Eighty-Eighth Group Army the strongest army in Asia!"

    This time Zhou Weiguo became popular again. After finally taking a break some time ago, Zhou Weiguo became popular again.

    Various newspapers are reporting on the news of the Eighty-eighth Army. At the same time, each newspaper feels that the Eighty-eighth Army is very likely to conquer Nanjing. In addition, Zhou Weiguo has also rushed outside Nanjing, so all major newspapers have begun to send  People were heading outside Nanjing to interview Zhou Weiguo, the most popular general in China today and also known as the Napoleon of the East.

    It would be better if we could witness the recovery of Nanjing.

    ?¡­

    "Chief, there are so many reporters outside clamoring to interview you. I think you can take the time to hold a press conference. Now is the time for you to gain popularity!"

    Jurong City was previously occupied by the 116th Division of the Japs, but now the headquarters of the Eighty-Eighth Group Army is established here.

    "OK fine!"

    Originally Zhou Weiguo wanted to refuse, after all, there are many things going on now.  After Chang Debiao returned, he had set up the Third Infantry Division and was now training the troops.

    There is still a lot to do in the formation of new infantry divisions such as the 5th, 6th, and 7th Infantry Divisions.

    But after hearing about the popularity, Zhou Weiguo reacted.

    Now is the time when you should show up, gain popularity and prestige.  Now is such a good opportunity. If you don¡¯t increase your prestige, what else will you do?

    "By the way, didn't we seize the seven regiment flags before? We can take them out now and let those reporters take photos to show the glorious results of the Eighty-Eighth Group Army to the people of the country!"

    I have to say that this old guy Yang Jie really knows how to make use of waste.

    "That's right! We can also send people to Huainan to pull over those old Japanese soldiers like Yoshizumi Ryo. I want to wait until Nanjing is conquered and hold an entry ceremony. This will be better for us!"

    "Haha! Boss, it seems you have a better solution than this old man like me!".

    On May 14, 1938, Zhou Weiguo held a special press conference in Jurong City.

    There were many newspapers participating in this press conference, not only the domestic large newspapers such as "Ta Kung Pao" and "Shen Shen" at that time, but also various small newspapers.  In addition, many foreign journalists stationed in China came to participate.

    For example, reporters from major newspapers such as "AFP", "Washington Post", and "The Times" came.

    Jurong City, inside the former City Hall

    "Why hasn't the general come this week? I've been waiting here for half an hour!"

    A male reporter had a camera hanging around his neck and a small notebook in his hand. Seeing that there was still no one on the stage and only the soldiers standing around, he couldn't help but complain.

    "Just wait! General Zhou has been busy fighting during this period, and now he is busy conquering the capital. It would be great if others could spare a morning to hold this press conference."

    A man like him next to him turned his head and chuckled.

    "That's true! No wonder the troops of the Eighty-Eighth Group Army were able to win the battle. I have been here in Jurong for two or three days, and I have never seen General Zhou walking around. Unlike other military commanders who run around every day! You  You can see him whenever you go to a restaurant!¡±

    Hearing what the man next to him said, he nodded firmly.

    ¡° Some of these reporters have been here for two or three days, and some have been here for almost five days, but the result is that there is noSeeing Zhou Weiguo coming out.

    "I'm coming!"

    Suddenly, there was a commotion among these reporters, and reporters outside were saying they are coming!

    "Mr. Zhou is here!"

    "Snapped!"

    Suddenly, the guard outside shouted loudly, and the soldiers around him suddenly stood at attention.

    In the eyes of everyone, Zhou Weiguo, wearing a yellow military uniform and carrying three shining stars on his shoulders, strode into the city hall.

    ¡°Ka~ka~¡±

    ¡°Ka~ka~¡±

    ¡°Ka~ka~¡±

    The reporters quickly took out their cameras and started taking pictures.

    Wearing a pair of sunglasses, Zhou Weiguo walked onto the stage, and the reporters below were still taking photos.

    "Everyone, be quiet!"

    Zhou Weiguo pressed his hands downward.

    "Today, at the request of people from all walks of life, I am holding a press conference here. Because time is urgent, I only have one hour for this press conference! Now if you have any questions, please raise your hands and I will answer them one by one.  I¡¯ll extract you!¡±

    Seeing that the people below were quiet, Zhou Weiguo looked at them and said.

    As soon as the words finished, the people below raised their hands. It seemed that all of them wanted to ask questions!

    Zhou Weiguo looked at so many reporters below raising their hands and randomly slapped a female reporter.

    "General Zhou! This time you have mobilized most of the elites of the Eighty-eighth Army to surround Nanjing City. How sure are you of conquering Nanjing?"

    After the female reporter asked this question, all the reporters looked at Zhou Weiguo with eager eyes. This is what all of them want to know.

    How sure is Zhou Weiguo of conquering Nanjing?

    "Ninety-nine percent!"

    Zhou Weiguo looked at the reporter and said with great confidence.

    "General Zhou, are you so confident in conquering Nanjing? I heard that there are still two divisions with more than 50,000 Japanese troops in Nanjing."

    "Of course! The 200,000 soldiers of our Eighty-Eighth Group Army are waiting for us. Now there are four main divisions of our Eighty-eighth Group Army gathered here. In addition, there is a main division of our army on the other side of Nanjing, plus other troops.  Can't our army of more than 100,000 people defeat the Japanese army of 50,000 people?"

    Zhou Weiguo looked at the reporters below and said with great confidence.

    "General Zhou, why is there still a one percent chance of failure?"

    The reporter asked again.

    "Haha! Unless those little devils suddenly send magic weapons from the sky, I will not fail! Even if I am unfortunately defeated, there are 450 million compatriots and 450 million people behind me. Wait for me  Just unite the army and fight again! Why should a little Japanese devil be so scrupulous?¡±?¡­(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
