The time has entered the summer of the P year of the Republic of China, and the winter wheat in southern Anhui has been harvested, and a large stack of wheat grass is piled up everywhere at the edge of the field.

The black blind man was pacing back and forth on the field stalks, carrying two box cannons.

From time to time, the black blind man would turn his head to look at the wheat straw stack not far away.

It was an oversized stack of wheat straw, the size of several houses.

The sun was setting in the west, and Xu 19 and Yu Jiaxi were snuggling and lying on the wheat straw stack.

Yu Jiaxi first told Xu Jiuxi about her experience working in the field hospital of the New Fourth Army Headquarters in Yunling after she was rescued by a seal, and Xu Jiuxi also told Yu Jiaxi about the experience after the breakout of Nanjing.

Hearing that Xu Shijiu, Xiaozhuzhuang, Niu Shidun, and Wanjialing were in danger several times, Yu Jiaxi was even more distressed

"Ah Jiu, I really didn't expect you to suffer so many grievances after we separated." Yu Jiaxi stretched out her hand, caressed Xu Shijiu's face that had grown green beard stubble, and said distressedly, "Why are those people so bad?" Wanjialing's victory is obviously your 58th Division's most contribution, but how did all the credit become 5 Pei?

"Do you still say that?" Xu Jiujiu smiled and said, "Just like Lao Gao said, I really have to thank them for treating us like this, we have to stay in the 58th Division, and now I don't know how aggrieved we will be, you may not know that the Nanchang Warring States Army lost again, and the 74th Army was disabled again." ”

Xu Shijiu really understood that the national army was not unable to fight, let alone dare to fight.

In fact, the national army can still afford to fight tough battles, even after several successive defeats, the national army still has a large number of elite troops that can afford to fight tough battles, such as Xue Yue's L Corps.

But the Nationalist Army just couldn't defeat the Japanese army, and in the face of the Japanese army, the Nationalist Army could only be defeated again and again, and defeated again and again

The reason is not in the national army, but in the top echelons of the national army, more precisely, the fundamental reason for the repeated defeats of the national army is actually in Chairman Chiang, the battle of Nanchang should not have been such a result, but because Chairman Chiang was hot-headed again, a large number of elite troops such as the 74th Army were directly disabled

In fact, such an outcome could have been completely avoided, and if Chairman Chiang had adopted Xue Yue's suggestion and resolutely abandoned the unrealistic delusion of recovering Nanchang, such losses could have been completely avoided.

If the 74th Army and other fist troops can preserve their strength relatively completely, Nanchang will not only not become the record of the Japanese army, but will become a burden to the Japanese army.

However, history has no if, due to Chairman Chiang's mind once again hot, the Battle of Nanchang once again ended in the crushing defeat of the Nationalist army, Okamura Ningji and the Japanese army basically achieved the goals set before the war, the Japanese army basically swept away the threat of the Nationalist army to the Yangtze River waterway, and Okamura Ningji finally trampled Xue Yue under his feet in Nanchang and fought a turnaround.

Of course, it must be said that the Battle of Nanchang was not actually commanded by Xue Yue, because Chairman Jiang and Xue Yue disagreed, Xue Yue, the deputy commander-in-chief of the Ninth Theater, was actually relieved of command in the later period, and the entire battle was actually commanded by Luo Zhuoying, commander-in-chief of the 19th Group Army and former commander-in-chief of the enemy.

Since the full-scale outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, the Nationalist Army has been making mistakes.

Therefore, for being swept away by the national army, Xu Shijiu did not have too much regret in his heart

What is there to regret? What else can you do if you continue to stay in the national army sequence except to suffer one fiasco after another? And after breaking away from the national army, he no longer had to endure the endless defeats, and after arriving at Longkou, he not only won several battles, but Zuihou even recovered the county seat, and the grievances in his heart have long been gone.

"But Ah Jiu, this is not a long-term solution." Yu Jiaxi was still a little worried in her heart.

Continuing to stay in the camp of the national army, although he is aggrieved, although he has to endure defeat after defeat, and maybe he has to bear the pain of his comrades leaving one after another, but he has a name there, but what is going on now? When the Anti-Japanese War is won in the future, is it possible for the Nationalist Government to tolerate the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army in Southern Anhui?

Like Li Zihan, Lu Jianbang, and even Gao Shenxing, it will be a big deal to join the national army in the future, but what about Ah Jiu

Ah Jiu has the indelible brand of the Nineteenth Route Army, and what will the high-ranking figures of the National Army do to him at that time

Xu Shijiu was also silent, Yu Jiaxi was worried about this problem he didn't think of, but he didn't want to think about it

In fact, Xu Jiu thought more and deeper, Yu Jiaxi was just purely worried about Xu Jiu's safety, but Xu Jiujiu thought of the future way out of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui.

The attitude of the Nationalist Government and the high-level leaders of the Nationalist Army towards him Xu Shijiu was already very clear, the Third Theater sent Li Zihan and his Longkou Independent Regiment, and the Military Commission even instructed the military commander to install an intelligence department for him, which clearly wanted to set up him and spy on him, and the Communist Party also did not stop, and was also making efforts to expand its influence openly or covertly.

Xu Shijiu was caught in the middle of a dilemma, and he was really pessimistic about the future.

In the past, Xu Shijiu would never have thought that the Communist Party would pose a threat to the Kuomintang, but now, especially after seeing Yin Shangwen's fruitful organizational work in Yanjia Town, he does not think so, and in the future, the Communist Party will not only pose a threat to the Kuomintang, but will most likely eventually defeat the Kuomintang

It is said that the people's will is the trend of the times, and the changes in Yanjia Town are enough to explain everything

Xu Jiu believed that Chairman Jiang would also see this, so he was even more worried.

Xu 19 was worried that Chairman Chiang would attack the Communists before the situation was completely out of control, and in this case, only small Japan would benefit, but some things did not depend on Xu 19's will, and in southern Anhui, to be precise, in Longkou County, the contradictions between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party were becoming more and more irreconcilable.

It was only because of the existence of Xu Shijiu that the two sides did not immediately turn their faces and make a move.

But as for how long such a situation can be maintained, Xu Shijiu expressed pessimism.

So now, Xu Jiujiu even hopes that Little Japan can counterattack Longkou County, and with the intervention of external forces, it is possible for the Kuomintang and the Communist Party to temporarily shake hands and make peace with the outside world.

Seeing that Xu Shijiu fell into silence, Yu Jiaxi stretched out his little hand and held Xu Shijiu's rough big hand tightly, then looked up at Xu Shijiu's chin full of cyan stubble, and asked softly, "Or, I'll look for my father?" ”

Yu Jiaxi's father, Yu Hongjun, was the mayor of Shanghai at the beginning of the Battle of Songhu, and now serves as the executive director of the Central Trust Bureau.

Xu Shijiu wanted to refuse, but when he saw Yu Jiaxi's eyes full of hope, he changed his words when he spit them out to his mouth, and said with a smile: "Haode, if I wait until the end of the Anti-Japanese War and I am still alive, we will go to your father and ask him to come forward to give me a future, no matter what, I am his son-in-law." ”

Listening to Xu Shijiu's words, Yu Jiaxi felt both happy and sad in her heart.

How proud Xu Shijiu is, Yu Jiaxi knows better than anyone else, if he was a person who was willing to cling to the powerful, he would not have left Miss Tang so decisively, the Tang family is a celebrity in Shanghai, but when Xu Shijiu left Tang Ying, he didn't even have a trace of hesitation, but now, he is willing to compromise for himself.

How can Yu Jiaxi not be happy, and how can she not be sad?

"Ah Jiu, promise me that you must live." Yu Jiaxi buried her head in Xu Shijiu's arms, stretched out a finger to poke into the seam of Xu Shijiu's shirt, gently twisted Xu Shijiu's chest, and said, "No matter when, you have to remember that I am waiting for you, I haven't given you a child yet, you promised me at the beginning, I haven't been a mother yet." ”

"I promise you, if you don't run away from Little Japan, I will never die." Xu Shijiu kissed Yu Jiaxi's forehead lightly and said

"You are not allowed to die if you run away from Little Japan, I want you to live until you are 100 years old." Yu Jiaxi stretched out a slender jade finger, gently covered Xu Shijiu's mouth, and said, "I want you to live to be a hundred years old, and when you are a hundred years old, you will still hold me like now, accompany me to watch the sunset, and say what I like to hear." ”
