Volume 1: Battle of Songhu Chapter 60: The bones of the Nineteenth Brigade
Gao Shenxing didn't notice it, and said, "Captain, have you heard of the Fiat arms purchase case?" The Nationalist government spent a lot of money but bought back a bunch of inferior planes from Italy, and the pilots drove the planes and disintegrated themselves, do you know who bought these Fiat fighters? It's Kong Xiangxi! ”
"Who is Kong Xiangxi? Lao Chiang's brother-in-law, his hand-picked Minister of Finance! ”
"Also, on Lao Jiang's 50th birthday in October last year, each province donated at least one aircraft, and the total donation amount of the whole country is as high as more than 12 million yuan, more than 12 million legal currency, which is enough to buy 200 Hawk fighters. But what is infuriating is that this money has been deposited by Song Meiling in the Bank of America for interest until now, who is Song Meiling? It's Lao Jiang's wife! ”
Xu Shijiu looked at the staircase with some concern, and persuaded in a low voice: "Be careful, you are drunk......"
Gao Shenxing suddenly didn't hear it, and said to himself: "Captain, I feel aggrieved, too aggrieved!" ”
"I just don't understand, why did the Battle of Songhu become like that? I couldn't understand why the defense fortifications that had been built with a lot of manpower and material resources were lost without firing a single shot. There is also the Battle of Nanjing, the worst result we can think of is the ending of Zuihou. ”
"What the hell is wrong with this country, what is wrong with our national army? Aggrieved, this battle is too aggrieved, and there is no hope in sight, how many brothers have left, but in exchange for despair, captain, don't you feel aggrieved? I've read an article over there that says the Nationalist Government is rotten to the bone......"
Seeing that Gao Shenxing was getting more and more out of line, Xu Shijiu hurriedly stopped: "Shenxing, you are really drunk." ”
"I'm not drunk, I'm in my right mind." Gao Shenxing waved his hand dissatisfied, and said, "Sometimes I think about it, I really don't think it's worth it, we are fighting to the death on the battlefield, fighting to the death with Xiao Ri, for what?" Just to maintain such a corrupt government? Just so that these silverfish continue to plague the country? ”
"Of course not." Xu Shijiu frowned and said, "Let's abandon our family and business and fight with the Japanese invaders, of course, not for these silverfish, let alone for some bullshit leader, who are we for?" If you say it bigger, it's for the whole country and the whole nation, and if you say it smaller, it's for my beauty and for your kindness. ”
"Nianci?" Gao Shenxing muttered, and suddenly burst into tears.

In the combat readiness warehouse of the military police headquarters, Yao Nianci snuggled up to Yu Jiaxi and asked in a low voice: "Jiaxi, do you think we can escape alive?" ”
Hongxing also snuggled up to Yu Jiaxi from the other side, sobbing and complaining, "Sister Jiaxi, I don't want to die." ”
Yu Jiaxi put her left hand around Yao Nianci and her right hand around Hongxing, and persuaded: "Yes, we will definitely be able to escape alive, we will be fine, you want to believe me, huh."
Yao Nianci looked at the front blankly, and said lonely: "Actually, I'm not afraid of death, I'm afraid, I'm afraid that Ah Chu won't forgive me until I die." ”
Yu Jiaxi said: "Then you won't go to him, go now!" ”
Yao Nianci said: "If it was useful to find him, I would have found it a long time ago." ’
Yu Jiaxi said: "Nianci, can you tell me what happened between you?" I can see that Gao Shenxing obviously loves you to the core, but every time he faces you, he has that cold face? What did you do wrong, he is a dignified man, and his heart is really so small? ”
"I, I'm ......" Yao Nianci's lips pursed twice, but in the end he didn't say anything.
"If you don't say it, I'll ask him to go." Yu Jiaxi said and stood up and walked out of the basement to find Gao Shenxing, Yao Nianci wanted to stop Yu Jiaxi, but in the end she didn't, maybe she also left a trace of luck in her heart, hoping that Yu Jiaxi could help her untie Gao Shenxing's heart knot, so that she and Gao Shenxing could get back together.
Looking at the back of Yu Jiaxi leaving in a hurry, Yao Nianci's face was full of hope, but Hongxing sighed in her heart: Captain Xu and Platoon Leader Gao are here, but I don't know where my second melon is, two melons and two melons, do you miss me in your heart, miss me?

On the train to Xuzhou in the north, Ergua was looking up at the night sky above his head in a daze.
Since it could not find a passenger car, the railway bureau responsible for transporting the troops could only empty the coal from the dozens of freight wagons parked at the Pukou station and temporarily requisition them to transport the troops.
The big-headed soldiers are dirty, but it doesn't matter, Wang Yulan and Cao Jiao, the two female soldiers, are really bitter.
There are also Li Zihan and several other seriously injured, because the conditions on the train are too poor, the injury began to repeat, not long after the train left Pukou, Li Zihan and several seriously injured began to have a continuous fever, in order to use a wet towel to cool Li Zihan, Wang Yulan was reluctant to drink even a sip of water, and when he arrived at Chuzhou Station, the whole person was seriously dehydrated, and his lips were cracked.
On the contrary, it was the military dog that was rescued by the 19th Brigade, and his body is recovering day by day.
Ergua looked up at the night sky blankly and asked Shu Tongwen: "Ah Wen, what do you say Captain He, and Brother Shen Xing are doing now?" ”
Shu Tongwen closed his eyes and ignored him, seemingly falling asleep.
Ergua knew that he was not asleep, and then asked, "Awen, where did you say that the captains would be now?" Did they go to western Zhejiang, or to southern Anhui, or were they still in Nanjing? I guess they must have gone to western Zhejiang, the Yangtze River is so wide, and the water is so cold, they can't cross the river without a ferry. ”
The remnants of the soldiers couldn't bear to turn their heads away.
When they got on the train in Pukou, the division sent someone to tell them in person that the captain and the main force of the 19th Brigade failed to break out of the encirclement after completing the task of breaking off, and they had all been martyred, everyone believed it, but only Ergua didn't believe it, he never believed that Xu 19 had been martyred, and he didn't believe it for no reason!
Two lines of tears quietly slipped down Shu Tongwen's cheeks, and until now, Xu Nineteen's advice before the separation was still echoing in his ears, Shu Tongwen knew that Xu Nineteen handed him not only a dozen wounded and remnants of the Nineteenth Brigade, but also handed over the heavy responsibility of rebuilding the Nineteenth Brigade to his shoulders.
But can his immature shoulders really bear this burden?
Ergua was still talking in his mouth: "Awen, let's get off the bus if you don't go to Bengbu, let's find the captain." ”
Shu Tongwen finally went berserk, suddenly turned around and grabbed Ergua's shoulders and roared angrily: "Captain, he's dead, everyone is dead, Ergua, wake up, Captain, he's dead, dead!" ”
"Dead?" Ergua was stunned, and tears slowly flowed from the corners of his eyes.
"Ergua, don't cry, we have to be strong! The captain is gone, we have to be stronger! Shu Tongwen squatted down again to persuade, persuading and persuading him to cry again, and more than a dozen wounded soldiers and students next to him also wept silently, and the two female soldiers, Cao Jiao and Wang Yulan, cried even more.
After a long time, Shu Tongwen wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, raised his head to the dark night sky and secretly swore in his heart: Captain, I will not let you down, no matter how difficult it is, I will take the responsibility, although I have joined the 19th Brigade for a short time, it does not mean that I will not be able to grow the bones of the 19th Brigade!

Xu Jiu shivered and turned his head in shock, but saw Yu Jiaxi stepping on the rooftop in the bright moonlight, and walked towards them again, and then looked back, Gao Shenxing had fallen asleep behind the guardrail, Xu Jiu took off his coat and covered Gao Shenxing, and turned back to Yu Jiaxi to make a silent gesture.
After going down the stairs, Xu Shijiu hugged Yu Jiaxi into his arms, Yu Jiaxi struggled gently, and then hugged Xu Shijiu's shoulder and back even harder with his backhand, while standing on tiptoe and biting Xu Shixi's ear, he whispered: "Ah Jiu, when we couldn't cross the river that day and were forced to turn back to Nanjing, I really thought that Zaijian would not be able to live with you in this life." ”
"I'm ~ too." Xu Shijiu also said affectionately, "I didn't expect to be able to meet you again in Nanjing." After a pause, Xu Shijiu said sadly, "But Jiaxi, do you know, it may be difficult for us to leave Nanjing Jiancheng alive, if you have a choice, I would rather you have crossed the river, I would rather not have this reunion." ”
Yu Jiaxi stretched out her fingers like spring onions and gently covered Xu Shijiu's mouth, and said in a low voice: "Ah Jiu, as long as I can be with you, I will be happy when I die." ”
Xu Jiuxi sighed, Yu Jiaxi tiptoed slightly and raised her face again, and her fiery red lips kissed Xu Shijiu, and Xu Shijiu soon began to respond enthusiastically.
Xu Shijiu really wanted to keep intimate with Yu Jiaxi like this until the earth was barren, but the reality was cruel, there were hundreds or even thousands of Japanese troops on the periphery, Xu Shijiu opened Yu Jiaxi's jade arm with great concentration, and then stroked Yu Jiaxi's pretty face with both hands and said: "Jiaxi, it's cold, go back quickly."
"I don't." Yu Jiaxi, like all girls in love, pursed her red mouth and said angrily, "I want to be with you, forever." ”
Xu Shijiu kissed Yu Jiaxi's red lips lightly, and said in a low voice, "Don't make trouble." ”
Yu Jiaxi really didn't make a fuss, just looked at Xu Shijiu affectionately, and said softly: "Then you be careful." ”
"Well, I'll be careful." Xu Shijiu nodded, leaned into Yu Jiaxi's ear and whispered a few words, Yu Jiaxi's pretty face suddenly turned red, and he lightly punched Xu Shijiu's chest twice with a pink fist.
It wasn't until she was about to leave that Yu Jiaxi remembered the real purpose of finding her this time, and said at the moment: "By the way, Ah Jiu, what happened between that Gao Platoon Commander and Nian Ci?" The high platoon leader hurt Nian Ci deeply enough, Nian Ci washed her face with tears every day, and I had to forget what she was like when she laughed.
