Volume 1: Battle of Songhu Chapter 39 Cannon Fodder

Lu Jian was pacing back and forth in the headquarters of the 19th Brigade over and over again.

Mu Enguang was dizzy by Lu Jianbang, and said angrily: "I said Lao Lu, can't you sit down?" ”

"What are you sitting on? Lao Tzu couldn't sit still. Lu Jianbang scolded and scolded, "Damn, it's getting dark, it seems that there is nothing to do with our 19th Brigade today." Seeing that the brother troops were fighting hard with Little Japan at the tip of the hourglass and the mountain, but the 19th Brigade was waiting for the situation in Hengluping, the temperamental Lu Jianbang could no longer hold his breath.

Gao Shenxing, who was wiping his gun, suddenly raised his head, stared at Lu Jianbang and asked coldly, "You just want to be cannon fodder so much?" ”

Lu Jianbang was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't know what to do to react to Gao Shenxing's cold eyes, Hu Jie, Li Zihan, Mu Enguang and the black blind man were also stunned, obviously shocked by Gao Shenxing's words, only Xu Shijiu looked at Gao Shenxing expressionlessly, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Gao Shenxing said that the 19th Brigade is cannon fodder, but in fact, it is not the first time.

As early as when the 19th Brigade withdrew from Niu Shidun, but Shangfeng did not give any commendation, Gao Shenxing began to repeatedly say in front of Xu 19 that the 19th Brigade was a group of cannon fodder, and it was going to employ people, so he remembered that there was no need to employ people, and the 19th Brigade was immediately kicked aside and ignored.

It's just that Gao Shenxing only complained to Xu Shijiu in private before, but today it is finally made public.

After a long time, Lu Jianbang finally reacted, looked at Gao Shenxing in surprise, frowned, and said, "When is this, why are you still saying strange things behind your back?" ”

"Am I saying strange things?" Gao Shenxing said, "What I said is the truth, we are a group of cannon fodder"

Gao Shenxing's tone just sounded a little cold, and his expression was also very indifferent, but only those who were familiar with him could hear it, and his heart was actually full of resentment, because Gao Shenxing was born with a cold personality and had always been silent, but now, Gao Shenxing was talking endlessly like a poisonous tongue, which was absolutely abnormal.

In fact, Gao Shenxing's heart was indeed full of resentment, Zhang Youquan sacrificed, and there was no reward from above, not to mention the lowest-level Yunlu Medal, not even a pitiful commendation order, which gave Gao Shenxing a great stimulus, and also made this most resolute and ruthless general in the war from a silent person to a poisonous tongue.

Of course, Gao Shenxing is also verbal venting, and there has been no change in style.

So Xu Shijiu didn't refute anything all this time, but just let Gao Shenxing vent.

Gao Shenxing's statement that the 19th Brigade is a group of cannon fodder is tantamount to denying the status of the 19th Brigade in the 58th Division and even the 74th Army, which is absolutely unacceptable to the officers and men of the 19th Independent Brigade, who have always been proud of and proud of the 19th Independent Brigade.

Even the good-natured Hu Jie said: "Lao Gao, how can you talk like this? ”

"Am I wrong?" Gao Shenxing's cold gaze swept from the faces of Lu Jianbang, Mu Enguang, Hu Jie and others, and finally fell on Xu Shijiu's face, and then said, "From Luodian to Dachang, from Dachang to Qingpu, from Qingpu to Saihongqiao, and then from Saihongqiao to Xiaozhuzhuang, and then to Niu Shidun, which time was not cannon fodder?" ”

Li Zihan frowned and retorted, "How can this be cannon fodder? ”

"Why aren't you cannon fodder?" Gao Shenxing grabbed Bai Dao, "Every time someone needs to block the gun's hole, every time someone needs to stand up and sacrifice, the above immediately thinks of our 19th Brigade, every time we work hard to complete the task, the above immediately kicks us away, has there ever been a share of the 19th Brigade?" Have you ever been rewarded even once? No, not once, what is our 19th Brigade not cannon fodder? ”

Li Zihan said: "Lao Gao, what you said is a bit excessive, what is called blocking the gun's eye?" Our 19th Brigade is the fist unit of the 58th Division, our food is better than that of our brother troops, and our equipment is better than that of our brother troops.

What's more, as a soldier, how can you be resentful because of the unfair treatment above? How the above treats us is their business, but as soldiers, we should fulfill the duties of soldiers, and the captain often tells us that when we are soldiers, we have to fight, and if we fight, we have to die, and whoever is on the stall is who, and no one can escape. ”

"Yes, what the captain said is right, to be a soldier is to fight, to fight is to die, whoever is on the stall is whom, no one can escape, but you raise your fingers to calculate, our 19th Brigade has fought since the Battle of Songhu, how many vicious battles have been fought, and how many times have you been on the task of dying? How many times have you been disabled? weishenme is the nineteenth brigade every time? The 19th Brigade really can't fight to the death, is the 19th Brigade really iron? No, it's not, the brothers of the 19th Brigade are also flesh and blood, Captain, tell me, how many times have our 19th Brigade been disabled before and after the Battle of Songhu began? The worst time was in Nanjing, just the two of us escaped, a reinforced brigade of more than 1,200 people, zuihou only escaped the two of us, Shangfeng has ever had a word of comfort, there has been a commendation telegram? No, none of them wow."

Gao Shenxing became excited as he spoke, and Zuihou almost roared.

(Dividing Line)

Feng Shengfa happened to walk outside the command department of the Nineteenth Brigade, and after hearing Gao Shenxing's words, Zuihou couldn't take a single step.

Ask yourself, the 19th Brigade is really a group of cannon fodder, saying that it is a hard-headed unit, saying that it is a fist unit of the 58th Division, but it is just a bright face, the essence of the 19th Brigade is actually cannon fodder, where there is danger, where do you need people to go up and block the gunhole, Feng Shengfa's first thought must be that Xu 19 and the 19th Brigade are still there.

Gao Shenxing's cold words were like a whip, and they were whipped on Feng Shengfa's heart.

Yes, weishenme is the nineteenth brigade every time? weishenme is still the nineteenth brigade this time?

When withdrawing from Xingzi, the reason why Feng Shengfa promised to give the 19th Brigade three months of rest time was to make up for the debt to the independent 19th Brigade

Feng Shengfa's right foot froze there, not knowing whether to go in or turn around and return to the division headquarters.

Just as Cao Jiao came over to report to Xu Shijiu, and when she saw Feng Shengfa standing there, she called out to the master.

The sound of the division immediately alarmed the people inside, Xu Shijiu hurriedly greeted Li Zihan, Lu Jianbang, Mu Enguang and several other company and platoon-level officers, and saw Feng Shengfa at a glance, the expression on Feng Shengfa's face was a little gloomy, but he quickly returned to his usual seriousness and indifference, and then stepped into the headquarters of the nineteenth brigade.

"Master's ......" Xu Shijiu wanted to explain a few words for Gao Shenxing, but was stopped by Feng Shengfa raising his hand.

Feng Shengfa looked at Gao Shenxing and said, "Battalion Commander Gao is right, although I don't want to admit it, the 19th Independent Brigade is essentially a group of cannon fodder. After a pause, Feng Shengfa continued with everyone's shocked eyes, "But what I want to say is that our 58th Division is actually a group of cannon fodder in essence?

The 10th Pei Regiment of Little Japan is alone in depth, and Weishenme should our 58th Division block Wanjialing? Weishenme is not another friendly neighbor force? Our 58th Division has to use the strength of one division, but it has to face the east-west attack of the two small Japanese divisions, and it has been unable to wait for reinforcements, what is this cannon fodder?

On a larger scale, isn't the L Corps also cannon fodder?

More than 100,000 people of the Little Japanese Army attacked along the south bank of the Yangtze River, and Weishenme should have defended De'an with the L Corps, and Weishenme was not another unit? From the national level, isn't our national army cannon fodder? In order to protect the people, in order to defend the motherland and the nation, we can only grit our teeth and fight to the death in the face of small Japanese artillery fire. ”

Gao Shenxing had calmed down and explained: "Master, this is not what I mean, I just feel ...... lowly."

"I understand what you mean." Before Gao Shenxing finished speaking, Feng Shengfa interrupted, "Battalion Commander Gao, I know that you are an officer with ideas and insights, and you are not used to seeing many chaos within the party-state and the national army, but what I want to say is that we are soldiers, and soldiers don't care about politics, just fight a good battle." ”

Speaking of this, Feng Shengfa paused, then his eyes swept over the faces of Xu Nineteen, Lu Jianbang and others one by one, and said in a calm and extremely resolute tone: "Today, I want the Nineteenth Brigade to be cannon fodder again. ”
