Volume 1: Battle of Songhu Chapter 49 Deserters

Xu Shijiu is indeed an old injury has recurred.

Five years ago, in the 128th Shanghai Anti-Japanese War, Xu 19 led a company to penetrate behind enemy lines, although he successfully destroyed the Japanese artillery position, but he was also hit in the head by a bullet that rebounded back on the barrel, and his subordinates carried him back to the hospital, and the doctor announced that Xu 19 was helpless after a little examination.

But Zuihou Xu 19 miraculously woke up, but at that time, due to the limited conditions, no doctor had the courage to perform a craniotomy, and the bullet remained in his head, Jiangwan Field Hospital has the latest X-ray machine, and the shape and location of the warhead can be clearly seen through X-rays.

The doctors at the Jiangwan Field Hospital asserted that Xu Shijiu would be unconscious forever, and Yu Jiaxi was desperate.

Xu Shijiu woke up again, but by the time he woke up, it was already early morning on August 24.

At this time, Iron Fist Jihua had failed, the Japanese army had landed, and he had been posthumously awarded the rank of colonel by the Ministry of Military Affairs.

When he opened his eyes, the first thing that caught his eye was a dazzling white, white walls, white beds, and figures walking around the window, all wearing eye-catching white coats, Xu Shijiu's consciousness paused for a moment, this is a hospital? Isn't he in Fortress Hill, why did he suddenly run to the hospital?

However, Xu Shijiu is very sure that he is still alive, and this is not the underworld.

"Captain Xu, are you awake?" A voice of surprise suddenly sounded from behind him.

Xu Shijiu turned his head following the voice, but what caught his eye was a beautiful face, faintly familiar, it should have been seen somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

"Captain Xu, you don't know me anymore?" The woman in the white coat put the enamel basin in her hand at the head of the bed, first looked back and smiled at Xu Shijiu, then took out a towel from the basin and wrenched it, and said coquettishly while wiping Xu Shijiu's face, "Oh, you really forgot about me, no wonder Miss Tang said that your heart is made of iron." ”

"Are you...... Xiaofeng? Xu Jiujiu finally overlapped the image of the girl in front of him who was wearing a white coat and looked beautiful and refined with the image of another woman in his memory, but the woman in his memory was always full of heavy makeup and the smell of wind and dust, no wonder Xu Jiujiu couldn't let it out just now, the gap was too big.

Xiaofeng is a dancer on the big stage, Xu Shijiu returned to Shanghai after the Min Revolution, when he was penniless, and he had to raise money to treat the brothers' injuries, so he could only find someone to raise donations.

"Xiaofeng, where is this, the public concession?"

"No, this is Jiangwan Fudan University, but now it has been converted into a field hospital."

"What are you talking about, this is Fudan University?" Xu Shijiu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then looked at the white coat on Xiaofeng's body and asked, "Then why are you here?" ”

Xiaofeng smiled and said, "It's not because of you. ”

"Because of me?" Xu Jiujiu was confused.

"Captain Xu, the story of you guiding the artillery to shell Fortress Hill and not hesitating to die with Little Japan has spread all over Shanghai, and when I read the report, the sisters cried." Xiaofeng said and brought a declaration and put it in front of Xu Nineteen's bed, the newspaper was yesterday, and the headline on the front page was "Zuihou a Nineteenth Route Army" reprinted from Miller's Commentary, the content has not changed, but the title has been changed to "Zuihou a National Army".

This is also the proper meaning of the question, it is impossible for the mainstream media to openly promote the 19th Route Army.

While Xu Shijiu was reading the newspaper, Xiaofeng said again: "Captain Xu, you are now an anti-Japanese hero, inspired by you, all the young people in Shanghai are rushing to join the army, and those little hooligans of the Qinghong Gang have also signed up to join the army, and several recruitment offices in the public concession are about to be crowded by them." ”

"Heroes?" Xu Shijiu put down the newspaper, shook his head and sighed, "What kind of hero am I, those brothers who died on the battlefield of resistance against Japan are the real heroes." ”

After that, Xu Jiujiu asked again: "By the way, how did I get here?" ”

"Your subordinates must have sent you." Xiaofeng said, "I just came today, and I saw you, when I just saw you, I was so happy, I have to tell the sisters the news when I go back, if they know that you are still alive, I don't know how happy they will be, especially Miss Tang, hehe." ”

Xu Shijiu smiled bitterly, turned over and got up from the bed.

"Oops, you're biedong." Xiao Feng suddenly became anxious, and stepped forward to stop him, "The doctor said that you have a severe concussion, and you have to lie flat and can't get out of bed and walk around." ”

Xu Shijiu turned around and asked, "Do you look like I'm having a concussion?" ”

"Then I'll go to the doctor and give you a check-up, and you must not wander around." Xiaofeng turned around and went to the doctor.

Xu Shijiu shook his head and walked straight out of the ward, Xu Shijiu recognized at a glance that this was really the dormitory area of Fudan University, and there was a striking red cross on the lawn in front of the dormitory, mostly to avoid the bombing of Japanese aircraft, but looking at the craters all over the lawn and the big trees that were blown up around it, little Japan obviously didn't take the Red Cross logo seriously.

Xu Shijiu was thinking about the Japanese bombardment, and a piercing air defense siren sounded over the campus.

The whole campus was in turmoil, and the wounded, nurses, and doctors who were walking in the open air rushed into the sturdy concrete building to take refuge, and the anti-aircraft machine guns erected on the rooftop of the building also rang out violently, and six Japanese planes with plaster logos appeared over the campus of Fudan University.

However, Xu 19 recognized it at a glance, it was six dive bombers, and looking at their flight altitude, Xu 19 knew that they were definitely not coming for Fudan University, most of them were going to bomb Hangzhou Amaranth Airport.

However, what surprised Xu Jiu was the injured policemen who hurriedly passed in front of him.

After the official start of the Battle of Songhu, it was always the Central Army that took the lead in the main attack, although the Shanghai Security Corps also participated in the battle, but it was only an auxiliary operation, and the 19th Independent Brigade was only a special case, as for the police corps, it was only responsible for the security of each block, and did not directly participate in the war, how could there be so many injured policemen?

Xu Shijiu stopped a policeman with a cane and asked, "Brother, your police corps has also participated in the battle?" ”

"Isn't that right?" The policeman shook his head and smiled bitterly, "In the early hours of yesterday morning, Little Japan landed in Zhanghuabin, and then launched a fierce attack on the hydropower company. ”

"Zhang Huabin Railway Station?" The hairs on Xu Shijiu's back stood upside down in an instant, the Japanese army really landed in a big way, and it landed from Zhang Huabin Railway Station?

At that moment, Xu Shijiu asked the policeman again: "Brother, what time is it now?" ”

The policeman thought for a moment and replied, "It seems to be the 24th today." ”

"Thanks, brother." Xu 19 thanked the policeman, turned around and left, the Japanese army had already landed in a big way, and he had to hurry back to the army and stay with the brothers.

Ergua, who was eating breakfast outside, heard the alarm and hurriedly ran back, but when he ran back to the ward out of breath, he found that the captain was gone, but there was a beautiful female nurse in the room. ”

Seeing Ergua's simple and shy appearance, Xiaofeng suddenly remembered his younger brother Hanwa in the countryside, and was happy at the time, learning his tone and quipping: "You, you, you, you are big, the captain is yes, who is it?" ”

"Our captain is our captain." Ergua lowered his head and became more and more cramped.

Xiaofeng couldn't bear to tease him anymore, and said softly: "I'm looking for it too, I don't know where to go." ”

"Run?" Ergua was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he was overjoyed and said, "Our captain has woken up?" ”

"That's right, he just woke up, but he didn't know where to run in the blink of an eye." Before Xiaofeng's words fell, Ergua had already rushed out of the room, Xiaofeng was anxious and shouted, "Hey, where are you going, beware of the plane!" ”

Ergua waved his hand at Xiaofeng, and soon ran away outside the door of the ward.

Ergua was in a hurry to inform Yu Jiaxi that he went, and after Xu Shijiu was sent to Jiangwan Field Hospital, Yu Jiaxi repeatedly told her that if Xu Shijiu woke up, let him inform her as soon as possible, although Ergua had not had much contact with Yu Jiaxi, he could also see that Dr. Yu was a very haode girl, and he really cared about the captain.

When Xu Shijiu hurriedly walked out, a tram had just stopped at the station outside the school gate.

From time to time, there were Japanese planes whistling in the sky, and the piercing air defense sirens sounded non-stop, and the citizens waiting for the bus were inevitably afraid, but the two guards at the gate of Fudan University gave them courage, and there was no riot.

At this moment, two young men with large suitcases in tow came rushing from a distance.

The two young men were wearing suits, ties, and parted heads, and at a glance they knew that they were the sons and daughters of a large family, and they looked like they were in a hurry, most of them were originally from the Japanese concession to Jiangwan, but now the Japanese army landed on a large scale, and Jiangwan was not safe, but they had to hurriedly hide back to the public concession, and this tram was going to the public concession.

The two young men were very unreasonable, and they squeezed into the queue with their suitcases, and as a result they knocked down a sick man with gauze wrapped in gauze on his head and legs, and when the man fell to the ground, something fell out of his jacket pocket, and when it landed on the ground, it made a clang, and when everyone looked at it, it was a medal with a ribbon.

"It's ...... Seventh-class Cloud Commander Medal?! A student in a tunic stepped forward to pick up the medal, and then looked at the sick man who fell to the ground with reverence on his face, and said in a trembling voice, "You are the national army, you are the hero of the national army!" ”

The sick man's gaze was a little evasive, and he just silently took back the medal from the student's hand.

"Hero of the fart." The young man in a suit who knocked down the sick number said disdainfully, "He deliberately didn't wear a military uniform, and he had to squeeze into the tram bound for the public concession, most likely because he wanted to be a deserter!" ”

Another young man in a suit chimed in: "Yes, he must be a deserter!" ”

There was a look of shame on the face of the sick man who fell to the ground, but the young student did not agree, turned his head and glared at the two young men in suits, and said solemnly: "If he is a deserter, how can he be injured?" And how can it hurt?! If they hadn't fought to the death with the Japanese invaders on the battlefield, Shanghai would have fallen long ago, and if they hadn't used their chests to block the bullets of the Japanese invaders in front, you would have been shot by the Japanese invaders. ”

Looking at the gauze on the sick man's body that was faintly oozing blood, the expressions of the two young men in suits became a little unnatural.

The young student turned to the passengers queuing up to get on the bus and shouted: "Fellow villagers, compatriots, the national army is a hero, they are heroes, if it weren't for them sacrificing their lives to resist the invasion of the Japanese invaders, Shanghai would have fallen a long time ago, and China would have died a long time ago, so please let our heroes get on the bus first." ”

As he spoke, the student and another student helped the fallen national army to the ground, and the passengers in front of him, whether old or children, all gave way to both sides, and the two young men in suits also dragged their suitcases and silently moved out of the way, but the faces of the wounded soldiers of the national army showed a look of fierce struggle.

After a while, the wounded soldier of the national army gently broke free from the support of the two students, turned around and left.

The two gendarmes standing guard at the school gate had already walked towards this side, but when they saw that the wounded were already walking back, they walked back again, and one of the gendarmes also threw a cold glance at Xu Shijiu, if Xu Shijiu dared to step on the tram, they would definitely rush up to stop it at the first time.

At this moment, another group of Japanese bombers flew over Jiangwan, but this time they were aimed at the field hospital set up in Fudan University, and the six Japanese planes were divided into three groups, and one by one they swooped down, and one after another heavy bombs fell from the sky with a piercing scream, and then there were continuous violent explosions.

A bomb landed not far from the station, and the blast caused the train to overturn to the ground, and the whole station was thrown into chaos, and everyone fled in a hurry.

In the midst of the confusion suddenly the cry of a child sounded, and then a young woman wailed: "Child, my child. ”

When Xu Shijiu looked at it urgently, he saw a young woman who was swept up in the riot crowd and ran into the distance, but her child was sitting on the platform and crying helplessly, at this time, another Japanese plane dived down, and then two more aerial bombs fell from the sky, the bomb landing point was not very far from the platform, and most of the children could not be spared.

Xu Shijiu was dumbfounded, and he had the heart to rush over to save people, but it was too late.

Seeing that the child was about to die under the bomb, a lonely figure suddenly staggered from the slanted thorns, and in one fell swoop the child down and protected him deadly, it was the wounded soldier just now! Then there was a violent explosion, and the flying flames and thick smoke annihilated his figure in one fell swoop.
