When Xu 19 returned to the 19th Brigade with more than 40 remnants of the army, the eastern sky had already revealed a slight white, at this time yesterday, the heavy artillery group of small Japan had already launched an overwhelming cluster artillery bombardment of the defensive position of the 74th Army, but today, the position of the 74th Army was silent.

At this time, he was the most sluggish person, and he also knew that something must have happened to the artillery group of Little Japan.

After receiving the news from the guard post, the entire garrison was boiling in an instant, and the remnants of the company, 3rd company, artillery company, and engineer platoon, as well as the personnel of the health team and cooking team, all of them rushed to the entrance of the village like crazy, and at the entrance of the village, under the rising sun, Xu 19 and more than 40 remnants were marching in a neat queue to this side

Cao Jiao, who rushed to the front, saw the black blind tower-like body at a glance, and the black blind man also saw Cao Jiao, he scratched his head, and then grinned at Cao Jiao, Cao Jiao cried out, and while crying, he opened his arms and threw himself into the arms of the black blind man, but the black blind man just stood stupidly and didn't dare to reach out to hug Cao Jiao.

More than forty remnants laughed one after another, and the previous depression was swept away.

Xu Nineteen also showed a smile on his face, after experiencing the departure of too many brothers, it was indeed joyful to see this scene again, Xu Nineteen also found Gu Yaqin from the cheering crowd, this female student who had been following the Nineteenth Brigade since the Doufang Rotten Street Battle, was looking at this side with strange eyes.

Xu Shijiu tilted his head slightly, and saw Gao Shenxing with an indifferent expression.

Xu Shijiu tugged at Gao Shenxing's sleeve, and pouted at Gu Yaqin's side, but Gao Shenxing snorted and turned into the headquarters with an expressionless face, Xu Shijiu looked back and found that Gu Yaqin's pretty face was slightly darker, but soon her face showed a smile again, busy settling the wounded.

Last night, the 19th Brigade had already transferred the defensive position on the flank to the 347th Regiment, and the current station was only less than two or three miles away from the division headquarters.

Feng Shengfa didn't return the salute, just looked at Xu Shijiu and was silent for a long time.

"Master, I am fortunate not to be dishonored." Xu Shijiu put down his right hand and smiled brightly.

Feng Shengfa's Adam's apple twitched, but he still didn't speak, as if his throat was blocked.

Feng Shengfa has been in the army for more than ten years, and he has long been accustomed to seeing all kinds of deaths of his comrades-in-arms and robes, and now he is a division commander, and the casualties of the officers and soldiers under his command are more just numbers for him, and he rarely links the number of casualties with a living life, as a general who commands thousands of troops, this is actually a necessary quality, otherwise it is unqualified and dangerous.

But this time, Xu Nineteen and the Nineteenth Brigade are different, he has not heard the details of the Nineteenth Brigade's attack on Xiaozhuzhuang, so he doesn't know, but just looking at the empty station of the Nineteenth Brigade, he knows that most of the veterans who went out last night have not returned, and Feng Shengfa has never felt ashamed of these veterans as he is now.

As soldiers, it is their natural duty to fight for the country and the nation, there is nothing to say, as long as it is on the stall, every soldier must also have the consciousness of sacrificing his life for the country and the nation, as far as Feng Shengfa is concerned, as long as he is on the stall, he will never escape, if the entire 58th Division really fights to Zuihou alone, he will definitely not be stingy with his life.

But the Nineteenth Brigade is different, this is not the first time that the Nineteenth Brigade has taken on a mortal mission.

It is said that whoever should be on the stall is who it is, but this is not the case in the 58th Division, almost every time someone is going to sacrifice, Feng Shengfa will think of Xu Nineteen and the Nineteenth Brigade at the first time,

In the battle of Niushoushan, the 19th Brigade stuck to the forefront, and after retreating to the Fukuo position, it was also the 19th Brigade who guarded the rain platform, as well as the Tofu Lane Street Battle, or the 19th Brigade, after which the 58th Division crossed the river and retreated, and it was still the 19th Brigade after the Hongqiao was broken, and this time, the lone army went deep into the small Japanese heavy artillery position......

Feng Shengfa had a lot to say, but he couldn't say a word, and a thousand words finally condensed into one sentence, he stepped forward and patted Xu Shijiu's shoulder hard, and said, "Ah Jiu, it's good." Turning his head, Feng Shengfa stood up again and saluted the officers and soldiers of the Nineteenth Brigade who had spontaneously completed the assembly, "The Nineteenth Brigade is also good."

He Lingxiao and Yang Shaoren also followed and saluted to the officers of the 19th Brigade.

Before leaving, Feng Shengfa gave Xu 19 a sentence, he wanted to ask for credit for Xu 19 and the 19th Brigade Xiangshang Feng, even if he angered Chairman Jiang because of this, he did not hesitate to do so, if he did not do this, Feng Shengfa felt that he could not give himself an explanation, and after returning to the division headquarters, he decisively called Yu Jishi, the commander of the 74th Army.

Yu Jishi scolded Feng Shengfa on the phone, and sternly warned Feng Shengfa not to act impulsively, and never go past him to ask Xu Shijiu for credit directly to the corps commander, the theater commander's department, and even the headquarters.

Feng Shengfa knew what it meant to be promoted to deputy commander of the 74th Army at this time, Yu Jishi was the nephew of Chairman Jiang, and there was already news from the top that Yu Jishi would be promoted to corps commander soon, but he didn't determine which legion it was, once Yu Jishi was promoted to corps commander, then the deputy commander of the 74th Army would take over the army commander in order.

In other words, as long as he didn't make mistakes, he Feng Shengfa would soon be promoted to two levels and change from division commander to army commander.

There are thousands of officers from Huangpu, but there are not many who are division commanders and brigade commanders, and even fewer can be army commanders.

But Feng Shengfa felt that there was something in this world that was more important than his personal promotion.

As a general who commands thousands of troops, he can be ruthless and cruel, he can not care about the casualties of the officers and soldiers under his command, and when necessary, he can even sacrifice some officers and soldiers without hesitation like a gecko with a broken tail, in exchange for the survival of the vast majority of officers and soldiers, but the rewards and punishments must be clear, and there must be responsibility

Faults must be punished, meritorious deeds must be rewarded

Therefore, Feng Shengfa did not listen to Yu Jishi's advice at all, but bypassed Yu Jishi and directly sent the telegram to Xue Yue, the commander-in-chief of the First Corps, Xue Yue did not know the background of the 19th Brigade, so he directly forwarded Feng Shengfa's telegram to the First War Zone Commander's Department, and Cheng Qian didn't know who Xu 19 was, so he directly forwarded it to the Ministry of Military Affairs.

He Yingqin knew Xu 19, he found out that the real commander of the Blue Army was not Gao Shenxing, but Xu 19, and then asked people to check Xu 19's background, and found that Xu 19's original name was Xu Hansoul, a veteran of the 19th Route Army, and the name was changed after the 19th Route Army was abolished.

Because of the Huangpi military parade, because of his henchmen Gui Yongqing, He Yingqin and Yu Jishi have already had a grudge, Yu Jishi is the nephew of Lao Jiang, He Yingqin has no way to take him if he is in a high position, but it is not difficult for He Yingqin to deal with Feng Shengfa and other Yu generals, and after receiving the report, He Yingqin sued Lao Jiang.

Lao Jiang was really angry, he could endure anything, even Song Meiling and the Yankees were messing around, but he couldn't bear the betrayal of his subordinates, this was Lao Jiang's untouchable scales, Lao Jiang's memory was also excellent, he even recalled the oolong who posthumously presented Xu 19 as an army colonel, and as a result, an order, Xu 19's military rank was directly beaten back to the army major, and Feng Shengfa's appointment as deputy commander was also in vain.

The Military and Political Department was extremely efficient this time, and the order of the General Headquarters arrived at the Dangshan front line that afternoon.

Yang Shaoren handed over the telegram to Feng Shengfa, Feng Shengfa's face immediately darkened, he was not sad that he had lost the opportunity to be promoted, but that he was sad that he could not take credit for Xu 19 and the fallen officers and soldiers of the 19th Brigade, and it happened that Xu 19 was also at the division headquarters, so Feng Shengfa handed over the telegram.

Xu Shijiu hurriedly read the telegram, and couldn't help but show a wry smile on his face, he knew from Yang Shaoren that Feng Shengfa intended to ask for merit for him and the brothers of the 19th Brigade, so he immediately rushed to the division headquarters to dissuade Feng Shengfa, not wanting Feng Shengfa to send the telegram of asking for merit, as for the current result, it was already expected by Xu Shijiu.

"Master, I'm sorry." Xu Shijiu was a little reluctant in his heart, if it weren't for this telegram, if it weren't for this telegram, Feng Shengfa's appointment as deputy commander had already come down, and in another ten days and half a month, he would have been the commander of the 74th Army.

Now, the deputy commander of the 74th Army has become Wang Yaowu.

In terms of qualifications, Wang Yaowu is only the third phase of Huangpu, but Feng Shengfa is the first phase of Huangpu, in terms of meritorious service, Wang Yaowu's record is the encirclement and suppression of the Red Army in Jiangxi, but Feng Shengfa's record is the 128th Shanghai War of Resistance, in terms of command ability, the performance gap between the two in the defense of Nanjing is obvious, no matter from which direction, Feng Shengfa is more qualified than Wang Yaowu to be promoted to the deputy commander of the 74th Army.

But now Wang Yaowu has taken the position, which is obviously because Feng Shengfa's request for merit for himself, the remnant of the 19th Route Army, touched the old Jiang Yilan.

"Ah Jiu, it's me who should say I'm sorry." Feng Shengfa was even more reluctant in his heart, he was not the deputy commander of the 74th Army, at least he was the commander of the 58th Division, but Xu Shijiu not only demoted his military rank from colonel to army major, but also his position was demoted from captain to major battalion pay, and others were promoted through meritorious service, but Xu Shijiu was demoted.

The number of the 19th Brigade was also changed to an independent battalion by the Ministry of Military Affairs.

The battalion-level unit is directly determined by the Ministry of Military Affairs, and the 19th Brigade is also the only one for scorpion, which is definitely a great honor for other troops, but Feng Shengfa knows that Xu 19 will never regard it as glory, with Xu 19's outstanding combat exploits and ability, if he is willing to hold the stinky feet of the Ministry of Military Affairs, how can he wait until today?
