"Han Wazi, it's me!" The voice on the other side was so excited that he couldn't speak, "I knew that your kid had a hard life, there was such a big famine in your hometown back then, hundreds of thousands of people starved to death, but your little child survived, I knew that your kid couldn't die, what is a little gunshot wound, what is it......"

Xu Shijiu also had tears in his eyes, but now was not the time to reminisce, he shouted loudly: "Uncle Mother, now is not the time to speak, let's kill these dozen little devils on the bridge first." ”

"Okay, okay, listen to you." The old lady on the other side said, "I know that you kid has a lot of ideas for fighting ghosts, you give orders, how to fight this battle, we all listen to you." ”

"The dozen or so little devils on the bridge are not simple, so don't show your heads easily." Xu Jiu shouted, "But the little devil's ammunition should be almost consumed, and the range of the little devil's submachine gun is not far, old lady, you pick a few marksmanship haode to climb to the nearby commanding heights, and kill the little devil far away." ”

The other side agreed, and immediately a few marksmanship veterans got into the alley.

Xu Shijiu said to Zhu Xia and the driver Lao Qi again: "Quickly collect all the remaining grenades on the Central Army and the grenades on the devils, and when the little devils are cornered, they will definitely choose to forcibly break through to our side, and then they will be greeted with grenades or grenades." ”

Zhu Xia and the driver Lao Qi agreed, and quickly began to collect grenades or grenades from the corpses of the soldiers of the Central Army and Japanese soldiers, and in just a few moments, no less than twenty grenades and more than a dozen melon mines were collected, and Xu Shijiu asked them to open all the screw covers of the grenades and put them in a row in front of the melon mines.

At this time, a few old men with marksmanship picked out by the old lady on the opposite side had climbed to a nearby five-story pagoda and the roof of a building, which were two hundred meters away from the bridge, and then straightened up with a big grin, and named the dozen devils on the bridge one by one with a formal rifle.

Although the Thomson submachine gun equipped by the Japanese army has strong firepower, the effective firing range is only 200 meters, and the ballistic dispersion area will expand dramatically after exceeding 100 meters, in other words, the Thomson submachine gun has huge lethality within 100 meters, and it is basically impossible to hit the target again after more than 100 meters.

However, the official rifle equipped by the Central Army is an imitation of the German 1924 Mauser rifle, with a scale range of 2,000 meters, and most of the veterans with accurate marksmanship can easily hit a fixed humanoid target 200 meters away.

Moreover, the veterans of the Central Army were divided into two groups and fired cross-fire from two directions, and the low guardrail of the Kazaohama Bridge could not provide effective cover for more than a dozen Japanese soldiers at all, and in just a few moments, three Japanese soldiers were shot and fell, leaving seven or eight Japanese soldiers with no choice but to choose to break through.

As Xu Shijiu expected, Little Japan really chose Nanqiaotou as the breakthrough.

However, this time the little Japanese miscalculated, as soon as the remaining seven or eight Japanese soldiers turned their backs, the light and heavy machine guns of the Central Army on the opposite side suddenly opened full fire, Xu Shijiu, Zhu Xia and the driver Lao Qi also threw grenades and grenades wildly, and the driver Lao Qi threw his hands very far, and he could throw them fifty meters away with a casual flick of his hand.

Xu 19 and the three of them were pressed by the Japanese army in the bunker and couldn't raise their heads, so they could only throw their heads blindly, but they couldn't blow up people but also blocked the way of the Japanese army.

Even if it is the elite of the elite, once it is put in a cage, it will not be much stronger than a sheep.

When Xu Shijiu, Zhu Xia and the driver Lao Qi rushed to the bridge with a good bayonet, more than 100 central armies also rushed out of the opposite street and alley, and the old soldier in the lead was carrying the rank of second lieutenant, but he looked extremely old, not to mention in his fifties, and his face was full of wind and frost.

"Han Wazi!" The old soldier choked up and shouted.

"Old lady!" Xu Shijiu agreed, and also burst into tears.

Zhu Xia, who followed behind Xu Shijiu, was a little surprised, in his impression, Xu Shijiu was a steely man, even if he returned to Shanghai three years ago, he was tortured by injuries all over his body and was dying, and he didn't groan, but in just a few days, it was the second time that Xu Shijiu cried.

Zhu Xia looked at Xu Shijiu, and then at the old military leader, and suddenly had a strange feeling, how did these two people look a little like a long-separated father and son reunited on the battlefield?

Zhu Xia's feeling is really right, Xu Nineteen really treats the old lady as a father in his heart, when there was a great drought in Hanzhong, Xu Nineteen's family of nine fled to the south, Zuihou lived Xu Nineteen, Xu Nineteen was only nine years old that year, if it wasn't for the kindness of the old lady's uncle to take him in, he was afraid that he would have starved to death on the streets of Guangzhou.

However, Xu Shijiu quickly broke free from the joy of reunion after a long absence, and asked in a deep voice: "Old lady, has the 61st Division been defeated?" ”

"Collapsed, collapsed." The old lady nodded, the brilliance in his eyes quickly dimmed, and sighed, "There are more than 3,000 people in the two regiments plus the guard battalion, and in less than half an hour, the little Japan will be defeated. ”

Zhu Xia's face turned blue with anger when he heard this, more than 3,000 people collapsed so quickly?

"Where's the master?" Zhu Xia gritted his teeth and asked, "What about Head Zhang and Head Chen?" ”

"Run early." A veteran said disdainfully, "These officials run faster than rabbits." ”

In fact, the reason why the 61st Division was defeated so quickly was that in addition to the fact that the Ohara Brigade that came to sneak attack was all elite soldiers equipped with automatic firepower, there was also a more important internal reason, that is, the 61st Division was not united internally, and the officers and men did not trust each other, and it could even be said that it was antagonistic.

There are historical reasons for this, the predecessor of the 19th Route Army was the 1st Division of the Guangdong Army, since the formation of the army until the Fujian Revolution, the officers and soldiers of the whole army are basically the children of Guangdong, the officers and soldiers trust each other, very united, reflected in the external combat effectiveness is extremely strong, the 128th Shanghai Anti-Japanese War, the 19th Route Army can defeat the Japanese army with 30,000 soldiers is the commander of the four changes is the proof.

However, after the Min Mutiny, the 19th Route Army was dismembered, and all the officers above the company commander level in the army were withdrawn and replaced by all Whampoa officers of the Central Army, most of whom also came from the Fifth Army, that is, Zhang Zhizhong's troops, which had just defeated the 19th Route Army.

Less than two years ago, the two armies fought side by side in Shanghai.

Originally a comrade-in-arms in the trenches, he had just fought a battle not long ago, but now he has become his own commander, and the vast majority of veterans of the 19th Route Army cannot accept such a cruel fact.

Therefore, after the reorganization, the officers and men of the 60th, 61st, and 78th Divisions did not trust and antagonized each other, and this seriously affected their combat effectiveness.

Zhu Xia felt a hot burning face, the veteran who spoke obviously didn't know him, after all, he had only been in the 61st Division for a few days, but no matter how short the time was, he was now the chief of staff of the 61st Division, and the performance of the 61st Division was so unbearable, his chief of staff was also gloomy, and he took two steps forward at the moment and said loudly: "I don't care what happens to others, but at least I, Zhu Xia, didn't run!" ”

"Mother, which onion are you?" The veteran didn't buy Zhu Xia's account at all.

The old lady also looked at Xu 19 with puzzled eyes, and Xu 19 said, "Old lady, he is your chief of staff." ”

"Are you a senator?" The old lady's uncle was stunned when he heard this, but the veteran who made a lot of nonsense just now was not afraid, and the other hundred or so veterans did not lie to him because of Zhu Xia's identity as chief of staff.

Zhu Xia could feel the distrust of these 100 or so veterans, but the military situation was like fire, and he couldn't afford to delay, so he could only stubbornly say: "Brothers, the 61st Division suffered a big defeat, and even Wusong Town was lost, and our faces were dull when it was passed out, right?" If you have a kind, follow me to take back Wusong Town! ”

More than a hundred and so veterans looked indifferent, and none of them responded.

The veteran who had made a lot of nonsense just now said coldly: "Dead shovel, do you want us to go back and send us to death?" ”

Zhu Xia's square face suddenly turned the color of pig liver, but the dignified chief of staff of the major general had to be ridiculed by the big-headed soldiers, how could he be embarrassed?

Xu Shijiu frowned, he knew that he couldn't delay any longer, every minute that passed, the morale of the remnants of the soldiers in the city would drop by a point, and when the morale of the remnants of the soldiers in the city completely collapsed, then he would never be able to return to the sky.

At that moment, Xu Shijiu pulled the bolt to load the bullet, and then said to Zhu Xia: "Old Zhu, these cowards are greedy for life and afraid of death, so they can go, as long as I, Xu Shijiu, still have a breath, even if there are 100,000 little devils in the city, I will go with you!" ”

"Good brother, then let's go on the road." Zhu Xia patted Xu Shijiu on the shoulder, and rushed into the town with a bayonet.

Xu Shijiu turned around to follow, and the driver Lao Qi also followed with a bayonet, but before turning around, he spat in front of the veteran who had just made a big fuss.

"Han Wazi, wait for me." The old lady didn't think about it, so he chased after him.

"Mother, when have we Cantonese ever been afraid of death?" The veteran who spoke loudly gritted his teeth, raised his bayonet again, and said sharply, "Brothers, go back to the city and kill little Japan!" ”

"That's right, kill back, kill this group of dog-day little Japan!"

"Why are you still stunned, go back, hurry back!"

"Dead shovel, I'll go too!"

"Count me in!"

Someone took the lead, and the 100 or so veterans whose bloody nature had not yet been extinguished immediately blew up the pot, and one by one they returned to Wusong Town with bayonets.
