Volume 1: Battle of Songhu Chapter 16: The Flaws of the Japanese Army (II)

North Railway Station, the station of the 19th Brigade.

Zhu Xia carried Xu 19 out of Guanyin Hall, found a bun shop on the side of the street, and went straight to the station, Sun Yuanliang had already adopted Xu 19's suggestion, and the North Railway Station would also become the main direction of attack of the 88th Division tomorrow, so Xu 19 had a lot of preparations to do in advance, and he didn't dare to delay for a moment.

When the car turned onto Xinmin Road, I saw a large group of people gathered outside the gate of the station.

Through the dim street lamp, a slender figure can be faintly seen standing on a table, waving his fists and giving a speech in an impassioned voice.

As the car approached, the sound gradually became clearer.

"Students, the four eastern provinces have fallen, Pingjin has also fallen, and now it is going to fall to Shanghai again, if we don't rise up to fight again, tomorrow it will be our turn to be our capital Nanjing! The Chinese nation has reached the most critical moment, and if we take another step back, the entire nation will fall into the abyss!

Students, we can't be numb anymore, we have to fight back, we have to fight back!

Students, would you rather be a coward for a lifetime, or a hero even if it is only for one day? Don't hesitate any longer, pick up the steel gun, step on the battlefield, and use our hot blood to tell the Japanese invaders that the blood of the Chinese is still not cold, and what they will face is the revenge and anger of a million, ten million, or even ten thousand Chinese youth!

One person's liliang is insignificant, but a hundred people, a thousand people or even 10,000 people's liliang is unstoppable, students, let us unite as one, go to the national disaster together, let's fight! The young man raised his arms and roared loudly, and the emotions of the students in the audience were immediately aroused.

"Sir, please give me a gun, I'll go to the battlefield with you to fight devils!"

"Sir, please leave me behind, I participated in military training at school, I can shoot!"

"Sir, let's stay too, we won't shoot, but we can treat the wounded!"

The students at the scene flocked to the gate, and the Shanghai citizens who gathered near the gate to watch the excitement also came forward one after another, or put biscuits, cigarettes, mao coins and other condolences on the table, or stuffed money into the donation box, and many citizens volunteered to stay and organize stretcher teams to help carry the wounded.

Zhu Xia parked the car on the side of the road and said in surprise: "Isn't this the student soldier from Beiping, how is he?" ”

Xu Shijiu nodded and said, "That's right, this morning he personally smashed the brain of a Japanese soldier with a broken brick, and once this psychological threshold passes, there will be nothing left." ”

Zhu Xia nodded, frowned again, and said, "But he's doing this...... It can't be someone over there, right? ”

Xu Jiujiu didn't understand for a moment, and asked puzzledly, "The people over there?" Lao Zhu, which side are you talking about? ”

"You kid don't pretend to be garlic with me." Zhu Xia said unhappily, "When you were in Fujian, your 19th Route Army was involved with that side, I can tell you, you kid must not have anything to do with that side." ”

Xu Shijiu was silent, he knew that Zhu Xia was referring to the Communist Party.

For the Communist Party, Xu Shijiu has no good feelings, let alone bad feelings.

As he spoke, the secretary elder Cao had already led the student soldier to come up, and said to Xu Shijiu with a smile: "Captain, I really didn't see it, this kid is a talent, and after a while, he got us thousands of condolences money, and hundreds of student babies took the initiative to ask to join our 19th brigade, hehe, there are still many young girls." ”

The student soldier also said, "Captain, give me two days, and I can call on at least five hundred more students to join the army." ”

Xu Shijiu glared at the student soldier coldly, then jumped onto the square wooden table that was temporarily used as a fundraising table, and shouted to the group of male and female students who were trying to break into the 19th Brigade station: "Students, I am very moved by your enthusiasm, and your dedication to sharing worries for the country and going to the national disaster together is even more admirable.

However, what I want to say is that it is the duty of our soldiers to resist foreign humiliation, and unless all of us soldiers are dead, it will never be your turn to go to the battlefield as students, and your duty is to read books, read good books! When the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression is won in the future, we will build our motherland into a prosperous and powerful new country.

So, go back, I will never leave you behind! ”

After that, Xu Shijiu jumped off the wooden table, separated the crowd and walked towards the gate, the students crowded outside the gate pleaded one after another, but Xu Shijiu was not moved at all.

Although Xu Shijiu grew up in the barracks when he was a child, and he never went to school seriously, he is not a big man, he has even completed his own university courses, he knows very well what knowledgeable students mean to a nation, these students are the hope of the nation, the future of the country, how can they be wasted on the cruel battlefield in vain?

Taking a step back, even if we want to send these young students to the battlefield, it is not now, and if we send them to the battlefield in this way, they can play no greater role than an ordinary soldier, but if we send them to the military academy for further study first, and then send them to the battlefield, the role they can play will be magnified tenfold or a hundredfold.

The students outside the gate were reluctant to disperse, and the student soldier Shu Tongwen caught up with Xu Shijiu and said hurriedly: "Captain, you just leave them, they don't want military salaries, they don't want anything, they just need a gun, or just a grenade, as long as they fight devils, let them follow you to fight devils!" ”

The students outside the gate shouted again, and the crowd was excited.

"It can't be." Xu Shijiu flatly refused, glared at Shu Tongwen again, and said, "And you, you are okay now, let's get out of here quickly, your parents live in a small hotel not far from the front." ”

"Don't mind." Shu Tongwen was anxious when he heard it, "I'm different from them......"

"It's all the same." Xu Shijiu coldly refused, "Let's go quickly, honor your parents well." ”

"Captain......" Shu Tongwen still wanted to plead, but Xu Shijiu had already turned around and entered the gate, Shu Tongwen turned his gaze for help to the secretary elder Cao, Lao Cao also spread his hands helplessly, Shu Tongwen's face fell, he originally only wanted to expand some soldiers for the nineteenth team, but he didn't think about it but kicked himself out.

##########

On the playground of the station, dozens of veterans of the 19th Brigade are surrounding the two 20mm machine guns and the 37mm anti-aircraft gun, one by one competing to come forward and touch the east and west.

Scar, One Hand, Xie Gouzi and Gao Maniac Huo Ran are also among them.

"Dead shovel, this thing will be Lao Tzu from now on, and no one is allowed to rob Lao Tzu." Xie Gouzi closed one eye, and looked straight into the muzzle of the battle defense cannon with the open eye, and said, "I haven't touched the cannon for many years, and this time Lao Tzu can finally go back to his old job as an artilleryman, hehe, it's enjoyable." ”

Ergua said with adoration on his face: "Brother Gouzi, have you ever worked as an artilleryman?" ”

"Listen to him blow there." The high madman ruthlessly exposed, "That's right, he used to shoot cannons back then, but it was just an old earthen cannon collected from the bandits' den, the kind with wooden hoops." ”

Xie Gouzi glared at him and said unhappily: "Who said that the Oriental cannon Lao Tzu has never fought?" ”

"Are you embarrassed to say this?" The high madman said, "I finally captured a few Oriental cannons that time, and I pointed to you to give me a hand, but it turned out to be a disadvantage......

Xie Gouzi said angrily: "Crazy, didn't you say that you wouldn't mention it?" ”

The high madman daxiao said: "Okay, then save some face for your kid." ”

Ergua and a few recruits still wanted to ask, but in the end they didn't dare to make a mistake.

Scar and One Hand ignored the two of them fighting there, their attention was all focused on the two 20mm machine guns, as veterans who had participated in the 128 Shanghai War of Resistance and had seen the ferocious power of the Japanese army's 20mm machine guns, they dreamed of having this small cannon, and today is finally a dream come true.

Scar, who had just signed a partition agreement with the only hand, said with emotion: "If you want to say that our captain has the ability, such a hard guy can be snatched from the hands of the Central Army, and those rabbit cubs in the 1st and 2nd regiments know about it, so they can't die of greed?" Now that our 19th Brigade is broad, looking at the Shanghai Security Corps, who would dare to compete with us? ”

When the words fell, a cold voice suddenly sounded behind everyone: "With a tough guy, you have to be able to afford a tough battle, otherwise I'm sorry for the good intentions of the Central Army." ”

Everyone hurriedly looked back, but it was Xu Shijiu.

"Captain, are you back?" The crowd hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Xu Shijiu said to Scar: "Old Dao, why are you back?" ”

Scar hurriedly said: "Captain, don't worry, there is Ah Long staring at the intersection of Baoshan Road, and you can't make a mistake." ”

Xu Shijiu nodded, and said, "Lao Dao, Lao Du, dogs, and crazy people, you all come with me." ”

took a few backbones into the brigade headquarters, and when everyone sat down around the long table, Xu Shijiu said again: "I said just now, if you have a tough guy, you have to fight a tough battle, otherwise you will be sorry for the good intentions of the brothers of the Central Army."

Tomorrow, let Little Japan taste the means of our 19th Brigade, but tonight we can't let Little Japan stop, old knives, old du, dogs and crazy people, you bring a small number of elite veterans, and the soldiers are divided into four ways to find some fun for Little Japan, remember not to fall in love with war, the main task is to find out the firepower of the Japanese army. ”

After sending off the four generals, Xu Shijiu said to Zhu Xia again: "Old Zhu, the ladder will be entrusted to you." ”

Zhu Xia said: "Ah Jiu, don't worry, I can't get arms and salaries, but hundreds of ladders are not a problem." ”
