In the wilderness, a large pit tens of meters square has been dug.

In the big pit, including Zhang Youquan and Donkey Erdan, more than 180 corpses of the 19th Brigade L Company have been neatly placed into three queues, soldiers are soldiers, even if they are buried, they still have to maintain a strict queue, even if more than 20 remains have been seriously broken, the living brothers have meticulously put them together.

Under the night sky, rows of veterans lined up in front of the pit, and the atmosphere at the scene was depressing and solemn.

Except for the L company that went to attack Xingzi County at night, the remaining officers and soldiers of the 19th Brigade are all here, and even the female soldiers of the health team rushed to see off the brothers in the company, Cao Jiao and Yu Huan desperately suppressed it so that they could not cry, Gu Yaqin's eyes flashed with crystal tears, and the expression on Ye Ruxueqiao's face was also extremely gloomy.

Xu Shijiu stood at the front of the queue alone, and in the night wind, his figure seemed lonely and gloomy.

Looking at Xu Jiu's back, Ye Ruxue felt a pang of pain in her heart for no reason, she couldn't help but think, if she wants to say sad, I'm afraid that no one here can compare to Ah Jiu, Ye Ruxue still can't forget, that day in the Honghe Road position, Xu Shijiu cried at the scene of the dead brothers, at this moment, he must be in the same pain in his heart.

Xu Shijiu's heart is really like a pinprick, not that kind of empty pain, but a real pain, as if someone is stabbing him in the heart with a needle, bursts and waves of pain Xu Shijiu can't remember, this is the first batch of brothers he sent away, since the beginning of the Northern Expedition, he has been repeating and repeating this experience.

Some people say that being alive is lucky, and being alive should be celebrated.

But sometimes, Xu Shijiu would rather die in battle, and would rather lie in the pit himself, because if you are alive, you have to take responsibility, and if you are alive, you have to bear the pain of the departure of your comrades, and once you die in battle, you will leave everything behind, just like the brothers lying in the pit at the moment, all of them have a peaceful smile on their faces.

Looking back, the gunfire in the direction of Xingzi County gradually stopped, it is estimated that the battle is almost over, the battle over there has ended, and it is time for the brothers to be buried here, Xu Shijiu let out a long sigh, and then his hoarse voice sounded under the night sky: "All of them have ...... Lizheng"

Listening to this hoarse voice, Ye Ruxue's tears almost burst out of her eyes, because from this voice, she actually heard a trace of the vicissitudes of life, but Xu Nineteen, how old is he, he is only twenty-seven, he is only twenty-seven years old If it weren't for this cruel war, if it weren't for the damn Little Japan, he would probably teach in a university, or be a manager in Shanghai's Shili Yangchang, he would definitely have a prosperous life, and he would have a beautiful wife by his side, Maybe there will be a little boy with a tiger head or a little girl with pink makeup, but now......

"Lao Zhang, Erdan, Lao Niu...... Your souls are not far away, and the brethren have sent you off. After reading the long list of names of the fallen officers and soldiers, Xu Shijiu turned to face the officers and soldiers in front of the pit again, and roared, "All of them, salute, fire the gun......" The veterans in the line raised their hands and saluted, and the ten veterans raised their guns at the same time, and the muzzles of the guns pointed diagonally at the night sky in front of them, and then, bursts of gunfire shattered the silence of the night.

Yang Shaoren was awakened by the sound of gunshots, jumped up from his chair, and asked, "Where is the gun?" ”

"Chief of Staff, don't be nervous." Feng Shengfa's faint voice came from the side, Yang Shaoren turned his head, and saw Feng Shengfa still standing in front of the military topographic map with his hands behind his back, he hadn't even changed his standing posture for half a night, but a faint voice came over again, "That's probably the Nineteenth Brigade seeing off the fallen brothers." ”

"Nineteenth Brigade?" Yang Shaoren's drowsiness dissipated, followed by a deep sense of guilt.

In the first battle of Xiaozhuzhuang, Yang Shaoren insisted on asking Xu Shijiu for credit, thinking that if he couldn't get the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal, he should also get a Yunlu Medal, but the final result was completely beyond his expectations, Xu Shijiu not only did not get the award, but was even demoted, and his military rank was even reduced by two levels to become an army major.

But even so, Xu 19 didn't complain, when Lan Feng retreated, Feng Shengfa asked the 19th Brigade to be behind, Xu 19 gladly accepted the order and guarded the stars, Feng Shengfa asked the 19th Brigade to guard the cow pier by Poyang Lake, Xu 19 still didn't have half a sentence of superfluous nonsense, and directly led the troops to pull out.

This has to be replaced by another commander, another unit, and you have to be in a hurry.

Yang Shaoren has been in the army for more than ten years, and he has seen officers who don't want to die in battle, and he has seen troops who are not afraid of bloodshed and sacrifice, but he has really never seen an officer like Xu 19, let alone a unit like the 19th Brigade

When Yang Shaoren thinks about it now, he still feels panicked.

After thinking about it, Yang Shaoren said: "Master, why don't we also go over to pay tribute to the fallen officers and soldiers of the 19th Brigade?" ”

"Forget it, I've already asked Shaojie to go with the sacrifices." Feng Shengfa shook his head, he was actually a little afraid of facing the officers and soldiers of the Nineteenth Brigade now, as a division-level commander, Feng Shengfa could already be as hard as iron in the face of casualties among officers and soldiers, but for the Nineteenth Brigade, Feng Shengfa couldn't stop like water.

He Lingxiao, the deputy division commander, also felt ashamed of the 19th Brigade, and whispered: "Division, do you want to replace the 19th Brigade?" ”

"No, the 19th Brigade can't come down" Feng Shengfa flatly refused, but his heart was dripping blood, if there was a little chance, of course he was willing to replace the 19th Brigade with other troops, but the problem was that this time it was the 10th Pei Regiment of Little Japan, which was a field division based on the local left-behind troops of the Little Japanese 1st Pei Regiment.

The Dipei Regiment is the nominal number one division of Little Japan, so how can it be underestimated?

The 10th Pei Regiment of Little Japan is menacing, if he can't dampen his spirit, the next battle will be very difficult, but looking at the entire 58th Division, in addition to the 19th Brigade, which other unit can frustrate the spirit of the 10th Pei Regiment of Little Japan? Therefore, before the spirit of Little Japan is broken, the 19th Brigade must not be withdrawn, even if it is completely wiped out.

"Ugh." He Lingxiao could only shake his head and sigh, but he thought in his heart, the 19th Brigade was finally replenished, and Xu 19 finally subdued the remnants of the 348th Regiment of Lu Jianbang and Mu Enguang, but after the battle of Niu Shidun, the 19th Brigade was afraid that it would break its muscles and bones again, and it would have to change blood again.

In addition to being sad, He Lingxiao couldn't help but admire Xu Nineteen a little, this guy really deserves to be the Xu Ajiu who can't be killed, no matter how badly the Nineteenth Brigade was beaten and how big the casualties were, but as long as he is there, the Nineteenth Brigade will be reborn immediately, and the reborn Nineteenth Brigade is definitely not slightly worse than the original Nineteenth Brigade.

Sometimes He Lingxiao couldn't help but be puzzled, what kind of magic power did Xu Shijiu have, which could make groups of depressed and disheartened soldiers reborn into a group of screaming strong soldiers? What kind of charm does Xu 19 have, which can make Gao Shenxing, Zhang Youquan, and Lu Jianbang bow down to him, and Xu 19 will charge forward without a moment's hesitation.

He Lingxiao didn't understand, but Feng Shengfa knew that Xu Nineteen didn't have any magic power, and his personal charm might be there, but it was never strong enough to make a strong soldier like Gao Shenxing bow down to his ears, Xu Nineteen was able to do this because he inherited the spirit of the Nineteenth Route Army, what is the wind and bones? The wind bone is the soul of the army, the soul of the army is a special existence that cannot be seen or touched, but it can be felt all the time, and this is the secret of the 19th Brigade being able to fight again and again, in a word, Xu 19 is here, the 19th Brigade is here, the military soul is there, the 19th Brigade is only a few people left, but as long as the recruits are added, they will immediately be able to grow like the weeds of the coming year, and even, even if Xu 19 is gone, the spirit of the 19th Brigade will continue to be inherited.

Wang Yidao carried the head of Iizuka Kunigoro to the grave, and as soon as his hand was released, the head of Iizuka fell to the ground with a pop.

"Brother Erdan, you can look at it." Wang Yidao sat down in front of the tomb where more than 180 officers and soldiers of the company were buried, and placed the head of the Iizuka in front of the tomb, and then stroked the tombstone and said, "See, brother, this old devil is called Iizuka, and he is the captain of the 10L Wing of the small Japanese on the opposite side, and I brought his head to pay tribute to you." ”

After reading a few words, Wang Yidao took out a thing from the waist jacket, in the night, it was a string of white bone finger bone necklace, and Wang Yidao collected the tail phalanx of Little Japan to make this necklace, Xu Shijiu stood on the side and was secretly frightened after seeing it, and at the same time thought to himself, Wang Yidao must have this habit for a reason.

On the other side of the tomb, Lu Jianbang didn't know where to get a jar of wine, and while pouring the wine in front of the tomb, he recited words in his mouth: "Zhang deserter, which Zhang deserter, you are really a fucking deserter, the Anti-Japanese War is not over yet, and Little Japan has not yet run away, why did you run away?" Isn't this just a deserter? ”

"I originally thought, although your fucking temper stinks, but you are really a man, I still want to worship you, but who ever thought about you, you fucking just left, brother, you left in too much hurry, I can't apologize to you, brother, I can't stop you, I shouldn't scold you for being a deserter, I shouldn't have been."

"But don't worry, brother, although you and the brothers of the company are gone, but I and the brothers of the L company and the brothers of the 3rd company are here, as long as we are still here, little Japan don't want to take the cow dun, don't want to go over the position of our 19th brigade, you are right, if little Japan wants to fight this, there is only one way to go, that is, to step on our corpse."
