Volume 1: The Battle of Songhu Chapter 22 Playing with the Heart

In Qinglong Village, Xu Shijiu drank with Leng Er until the early morning of the next day.

When Li Mu took Li Shuanggun and they arrived at Panshi Valley, Xu Shijiu and Leng Er were still drinking.

Qinglongzhai let Little Japan burn it last time, but the cave where the supplies were stored was not found, so most of the materials were preserved, plus there were a lot of beasts in Erlong Mountain, Leng Er just took people to beat two wild boars yesterday, so this time Xu Shijiu went up the mountain, and Leng Er was able to entertain him with big fish, big meat and big bowl of wine.

But in the final analysis, Leng Er still wanted to block Xu Shijiu's mouth with wine and meat, so that Xu Shijiu would not open his mouth.

These old bandits are cunning, Xu Nineteen just went up the mountain on his front foot, and Leng Er knew his intention.

However, Xu Nineteen is not so easy to dismiss, whether it is a big bowl of wine or a large piece of meat, Xu Nineteen does not refuse to come, but he has been drinking until the early hours of the morning, and several squadron leaders who accompany the wine have already slipped under the table, Leng Er is already drunk and is about to lie down, but Xu Nineteen still seems to be a nobody.

Looking at the staggering few small leaders, Xu Shijiu laughed secretly in his heart, Leng Er wanted to get drunk He was really miscalculated, as early as when he first arrived in Shanghai after the Min Revolution, he found that he was immune to alcohol, and he would not get drunk no matter how much he drank in the social field, so he made a lot of fame.

After getting to know Yu Jiaxi, Xu Jiuxi knew that he had more enzymes in his body that could decompose alcohol than ordinary people, and alcohol would decompose quickly after entering the liver, so he would not get drunk, but Yu Jiaxi also told him that even if he didn't get drunk and drank too much, it would also hurt his liver, and Xu Jiujiu rarely drank heavily after that.

Thinking of Yu Jiaxi, Xu Shijiu felt a faint pain in his heart, and immediately picked up the sea bowl and drank it all.

"Okay, refreshing, Captain Xu, Old Xu" Leng Er's tongue has begun to knot, his eyes are slanted drunk, and he pats Xu Shijiu's shoulder and says, "I Leng Er has been wandering the rivers and lakes for so many years, and I really haven't served anyone, but only you, I didn't say it, let's serve Leng Er, really serve, come, our brothers are in a bowl again, Yu"

Leng Er stood up leisurely with the big sea bowl, but as soon as his legs were weak, he slipped on the ground, Xu Shijiu came over and took a look, Leng Er had already drunk into mud, just this moment, the snoring was loud, shaking his head, Xu Shijiu took out an IOU written haode from his arms, pulled Leng Er's hand and dipped it in the preparation of haode mud and pressed a handprint.

When Leng Er came to sleep, the sun was in the middle of the sky, and he muttered why did I sleep on the ground? While getting up, he saw several squadron leaders also lying under the table, and when he looked back, Xu Nineteen was sleeping in his tiger skin, as if he was disturbed by Leng Er, Xu Nineteen also opened his eyes and woke up.

"Leng Er, what's Chenguang now?" Xu Jiu rubbed his eyes and asked.

Leng Er poked his head out of the window to look at the sun, then retracted and replied, "I guess it's past twelve o'clock." ”

"It's past twelve o'clock? The road down the mountain is not easy to walk, hurry up, order a few people to pick up the guy and follow me down the mountain. Xu Shijiu got up as he spoke, and stepped forward to wake up the squadrons that were sleeping under the table one by one.

"Pick a guy, down the mountain?" Leng Er then remembered that he was down to business, Xu Shijiu went up the mountain this time to ask him for equipment, and immediately began to pretend to be stupid, and said, "Detachment leader, what are you talking about?" ”

"Leng Er, you don't think you're trying to cheat, right?" How could Xu Jiujiu not know what Leng Er was thinking? At the moment, he took out the IOU from his pocket, handed it to Leng Er and said, "Look, the IOU is written in black and white, and you have also pressed this red handprint, don't be a fool, otherwise don't be the captain of this brigade." ”

Looking at the IOU with the red handprint, Leng Er was a little dumbfounded, and when he came back to his senses, he slapped himself.

Drunk and misunderstood, drunk and misunderstood, but the handprints on the IOU were pressed, Leng Er was not remorseful, and asked Ye Laomi to go to the cave to get two crooked handles and a box of bullets, while not forgetting to repeatedly talk to Xu Jiuxu: "Detachment leader, this is what our L Brigade lent to the 3rd Brigade, it is borrowed, not given, and it will have to be repaid later." ”

Xu Shijiu said impatiently as he walked out: "Look at your little bit of interest? Just these two broken machine guns and a box of bullets, just like a treasure, what if you hide in the cottage, what will you do? Let me tell you, broaden your horizons, what are just two machine guns? In the future, our 19th Brigade will have to make an artillery brigade, artillery, have you seen it? ”

"Cannon?" Leng Er pouted and said, "Didn't we pay several doors last time?" Not much. ”

"You know a, that's also called a cannon? That's called a grenadier, right? A real cannon, a large caliber, so big" Xu Shijiu opened his left and right thumbs and index fingers, and compared them together, and then said, "More than ten millimeters of caliber, a cannonball can blow up a big crater, and if it falls next to you, it will be difficult to find a complete finger." ”

Leng Er's eyes straightened when he heard this, and he asked, "Is the cannon really so powerful?" ”

Ye Laomi and several leaders imagined the shelling situation described by Xu Shijiu, and their faces were a little pale.

Xu Shijiu said: "The caliber of more than ten millimeters is only a field artillery, and there are more powerful cannons than this, large-caliber naval guns with a caliber of more than 30 millimeters, that is only a powerful one, and a cannon can flatten a mountain, like Qinglongping, two shells are basically blown up, and there are even more powerful, but that is a blockbuster aerial bomb."

Leng Er's eyes showed a look of anticipation, and he asked Xu Shijiu: "Detachment leader, can we really have such a cannon in the future?" ”

Xu 19 said: "I'm afraid it's not easy to get a field gun with a caliber of more than ten millimeters, but it's not a problem to get a few infantry guns and mortars with a caliber of seven or eight millimeters, and our 19th detachment will have artillery sooner or later." ”

Leng Er couldn't wait to say, "Detachment leader, you have to make a few troubles for us when the time comes." ”

"Is your L Brigade a unit of my Nineteenth Detachment?" Xu Shijiu glanced at Leng Er with slanted eyes, and said, "I, Xu Shijiu, will treat my brother badly?" ”

"That's, hey, that's."

There was nothing to say all the way, and when the group arrived outside Panshi Valley, it was already sunset.

Seeing the Sichuan officers and soldiers who were cutting down trees and building barracks in the valley, Leng Er and the dozen or so Qinglongzhai bandits accompanying him were a little dumbfounded, these people were obviously not the bandits of the 3rd Brigade, just the group of bandits in Heilongzhai could be recognized from a few miles away, but the group of national troops in front of him was completely different from the bandits of the 3rd Brigade in terms of image and temperament.

"What's the matter, the large force of the nineteenth detachment is coming?" Leng Er turned his head to look at Xu Nineteen.

Xu Shijiu had already guessed what was going on in his heart, but he said with an unpredictable and profound face: "This is a big army, but it's just a preemptive company, and the big army is still behind." ”

After speaking, Xu Shijiu left Leng Er behind him and strode into Panshi Valley.

Gao Shenxing had already brought Li Shuanggun to meet him, and he was overjoyed when he saw that it was Li Shuanggun Xu 19, he guessed that this was most likely the defeat of the national army collected by Li Mu, but he didn't expect that it was still a Sichuan army with a formation, and it was also Li Shuanggun's troops, and he was also impressed by Li Shuanggun Xu 19, it was Li Shuanggun and more than a dozen veterans under his command, and it was the fight under Niushou Mountain that changed Xu 19's consistent impression of the Sichuan army.

"Company Commander Lee"

"Captain"

Xu 19 and Li Shuanggun stretched out their right hands at the same time to hold the opponent's left arm, came to a handshake salute, and at the same time stretched out their left fists and punched the opponent's chest, and then looked at each other.

After laughing, Xu Shijiu asked again: "Brother, why are you not in the Sichuan Army?" ”

"Don't mention it, how unjustly did our master die? Junzuo said a few fair words, but he was removed from his post by Tang Erwen, who was really aggrieved, and Lao Tzu was angry. After finishing speaking, Li Shuanggun also asked Xu Shijiu in turn, "Captain, why are you not in the 74th Army?" The 74th Army is now a cow, and the 35th troops of Little Japan are scared."

Xu Shijiu said: "I'm ashamed to say that I let the 74th Army sweep the floor and go out, and they are all involved." ”

"Huh?" Li Shuanggun blinked his eyes, and he couldn't speak for a while, he really didn't know that there was such a thing.

"With troops like the 74th Army, we are not sparse." Gao Shenxing interjected and said: "No matter how good the 74th Army is, how many decent victories have it fought? Let's just talk about Wanjialing, don't look at the destruction of a small Japanese division, but how many casualties are there? In order to plug the gap, the 58th Division almost fought the whole division, although the 5th Pei took Zhang Gushan, but how many people are left in Zuihou? It's embarrassing to say that it is a big victory, at best, it is a miserable victory, and a miserable victory will blow into the sky, what about the defeat that I ate before? Don't talk about it, I blush when I talk about it, it's called a grievance when the national army fights, and I'm about to suffocate to death. ”

Xu 19 said: "The 74th Army used to always lose battles, not because it couldn't fight, but because it couldn't command, whether it was the Battle of Songhu or the Battle of Nanjing, if you want to command well, can you fight like that bear?" ”

"I agree." Li Shuanggun nodded again and again, "It's just that Jiang Guangtou Naha'er, he will let the defense line not be guarded, but instead of transferring dozens or hundreds of divisions to the suburbs of Shanghai to fight with Little Japan, he has ordered to retreat, and Guawazi will go back on his word, and the brothers' hearts will be ruined, what kind of battle is he fighting?" ”

Seeing that the topic was about to go around Lao Jiang again, but it was really not interesting to discuss this, Xu Shijiu hurriedly changed the topic: "Let's not talk about this for now, Company Commander Li, take me to meet the brothers." ”
