Seeing Gao Shenxing hurriedly walking in, Xu Shijiu smiled.

"Never give up." Xu Jiu weakly stretched out his right fist.

"Never give up." Gao Shenxing then stretched out his right fist and gently collided with Xu Shijiu.

The clenched fists of the two "good brothers" were released at the same time and clenched each other tightly.

Li Ping, who was standing next to her, suddenly had a strong urge to cry, although these two men only said two short sentences, the brotherhood that could be revealed from the bones was so deep, Li Ping had no doubt that they could definitely block each other's bullets when necessary.

"Captain, how are you feeling?" Gao Shenxing asked with concern.

Xu Shijiu said: "I'm fine, I just want to eat something." ”

Speaking of which, Xu Shijiu has been in a coma in bed for half a month, and he has been maintained by infusion of nutrient solution for half a month, but his stomach and intestines have long been empty, and when he wakes up, of course he will be hungry.

Dr. Haneda, who was standing next to him, could already understand some of the Chinese, and said to Gao Shenxing at the moment: "Mr. Gao, Mr. Xu has been in a coma for too long, and his gastrointestinal function has seriously deteriorated, so he can only drink a little porridge oil at most, that is, rice soup, and it is strictly forbidden to get meat for at least a week." ”

Gao Shenxing nodded, and smiled bitterly at Xu Shijiu: "Captain, I'm afraid you can only order rice soup now." ”

As soon as the words fell, He Keqi and Hu Zhijing had already walked in, and He Keqi immediately instructed Li Ping: "Xiao Li, hurry up and go to the room and let Lao Cui boil some rice soup." ”

Li Ping sighed and hurried to go.

Xu Shijiu's eyes turned to He and Hu, and He Keqi stepped forward to greet Xu Shijiu with his fists in his hands: "Captain Xu, I've been waiting for you for a long time, and if you don't wake up, I'm going to lead troops to Lord Yama to kidnap people." ”

Xu Shijiu couldn't help but be happy, and He Keqi also followed daxiao, and the atmosphere became warm.

Gao Shenxing also introduced He and Hu to Xu Shijiu, and Xu Shijiu signaled Gao Shenxing to help him up, and then raised his right hand to salute He and Hu, and said: "Da En dare not say thank you, please accept the next military salute." ”

He Keqi hurriedly returned the salute, but Hu Zhijing said: "Captain Xu is now outside, now that our Kuomintang and Communist Party are already a family, it is appropriate to help each other, no thanks, maybe one day Lao He and I will also be hunted down by Little Japan, if Captain Xu encounters it, I am afraid that he will not stand idly by, right?" ”

Xu Shijiu replied solemnly: "That's nature. ”

"I heard that Captain Xu is from the Nineteenth Route Army?" Hu Zhijing lost no time in probing, "Speaking of which, our Communist Party still has a deep relationship with your 19th Route Army, and in Fujian back then, it was because the officers and soldiers of the 19th Route Army were unwilling to fight the Red Army that they finally rebelled in anger......

Xu Shijiu said: "Mr. Hu, don't talk about what happened back then, okay?" ”

Regarding the Min Revolution in the Republic of China, Xu 19 was actually opposed in his heart, he believed that soldiers were soldiers and should not be involved in the political game, and in the end, the 19th Route Army was also dismembered because of Chen Mingshu's independent ambitions, Xu 19 and more than 100 disabled soldiers have since been on the beach, Xu 19 resents Zhang Zhizhong, who single-handedly dismembered the 19th Route Army, and resents Lao Jiang, in fact, why not resent Chen Mingshu, who has low eyes?

Therefore, Xu Shijiu did not have a good impression of the Min Revolution that year.

Hu Zhijing was slightly embarrassed, and said to He Keqi at the moment: "Captain Xu has just woken up, and his body is still very weak, why don't we come to visit another day?" ”

He Keqi had already seen that Hu Zhijing and Xu Shijiu were not speculative, so he got up and said goodbye immediately.

After He and Hu left, Gao Shenxing said to Xu Shijiu: "Captain, Mr. Hu actually has no malicious ......."

"Of course he doesn't mean anything." Xu Jiujiu interrupted Gao Shenxing, and then continued, "He just wants to persuade the two of us to leave the national army and join the communist army." ”

Gao Shenxing smiled: "Captain, do you see it?" ”

Xu Shijiu also smiled: "I can also see that your kid has been red." ”

"Not really." Gao Shenxing shook his head, and then said in a deep voice, "But captain, I have a word of conscience, staying in the national army is just two words, and staying here is still two words, open."

Xu Shijiu's brows frowned slightly, and he asked, "How do you say this?" ”

Gao Shenxing said: "Let's talk about the national army first, our 19th Brigade has fought a real victory from Hongkou to Wusong, from Wusong to Luodian, from Luodian to Qingpu, and then from Qingpu to Niushou Mountain?" Even if there is an occasional small victory, the next must be a fiasco, a fiasco, a fiasco, and another fiasco, we will lose again and again, until the city of Nanjing is lost, and the officers and soldiers of the 19th Brigade have changed one stubble after another, have we ever fought a real victory? ”

Xu Shijiu opened his mouth to defend himself, but was interrupted by Gao Shenxing.

Gao Shenxing continued: "Captain, you may say, it's not that our 19th Brigade won't win the battle, but because of the blind command of Shangfeng and the forced situation, and this is exactly what makes me feel the most aggrieved, whether it is the Battle of Songhu or the Battle of Nanjing, even the military blind who don't know the soldiers know how to fight, and how not to fight, but what about Chairman Jiang?" He had to screw it, so every time he hit Zuihou, it was a bad result. ”

Xu Shijiu was speechless, because all Gao Shenxing said was an indisputable fact.

Lao Chiang may be a top master in terms of political strategy, otherwise he would not have stood out from so many party bigwigs and local warlords to become the supreme leader of the central government, but he is a lame commander in military affairs.

Of course, most of the commanders of the group armies, corps commanders, and senior generals at the level of army commanders also performed poorly.

These high-ranking generals are more than enough to fight the Beiyang Army and local warlords, but this is not to say that their command ability is superb, but because the senior generals of the Beiyang Army and the local army are even worse, so when they face the high-ranking generals of the Japanese army, they are immediately beaten and cannot find the north.

Gao Shenxing continued: "Captain, although you have not attended a military school, I can see that you are a commander with vision, in terms of the ability to lead troops to fight, there are few senior generals who have come out of the Whampoa Military Academy and Army University can compare with you, but from Songhu to Nanjing, have you fought a real victory?"

Xu Shijiu wanted to refute it, but in the end, he couldn't say a word.

From Songhu to Nanjing, the 19th Brigade has gone through several bloody and vicious battles, and the number of enemies killed cannot be regarded as small, and the total number of people is at least more than 1,000, and the friendly troops next to it, not to mention the battalion-level units, even the regiment-level units, rarely have such brilliant achievements, but while killing a large number of enemies, the 19th Brigade itself suffered greater casualties

A brigade with a regular strength of only 500 people has already lost more than 2,000 people

Two thousand for one thousand, at best, it can only be said to be miserable, and even a miserable victory is not enough.

"No, not once." Gao Shenxing shook his head miserably, and then said, "It's not that you won't win battles, but that someone won't let you go to fight every battle, don't you feel like you're being tied hand and foot?" ”

Gao Shenxing's words are to the point, every time he fights, Xu Shijiu not only has the feeling of being tied hand and foot, but also this feeling is very, very strong, whether it is the Battle of Songhu or the Battle of Nanjing, the 19th Brigade is like a puppet that is held hand and foot, can only passively rush from one battlefield to another, from one fiasco to another, Xu Shijiu wants to get rid of this shackles, but he can't do anything.

Xu Shijiu could only agree with Gao Shenxing's words, and said with emotion: "It's really embarrassing to let you say this." ”

Gao Shenxing didn't feel the slightest pleasure because of persuading Xu Jiuyou, and sighed: "Captain, the worst result you can think of every time is precisely the final choice of those corpse vegetarians above, especially Chairman Jiang, who is simply speechless I feel that the national army is gradually dying, this is a desperate army." ”

Xu 19 asked, "What about the communist army?" Aren't they now also part of the battle sequence of the national army? ”

"The communist army is different, completely different." Gao Shenxing shook his head and said, "Although they have accepted the reorganization of the Nationalist Government and belong to the battle sequence of the Nationalist Army, they will never blindly obey the Nationalist Government, especially not take the blind command of Chairman Jiang seriously. ”

"Is this possible?" Xu Shijiu was dumbfounded and said, "The communist army also has superiors, right?" ”

Gao Shen said: "Of course, the communist army has superiors, but first, their means of communication are backward, and it is not realistic to ask their superiors for instructions on everything, and second, the communist army pursues an independent combat strategy, and the military commander of a place, as long as he thinks it is necessary, then he can take decisive action, such as this He Keqi." ”

Gao Shenxing first told He Keqi about taking people to pick up the train and counterattacking the Japanese army yesterday, and Zuihou said: "Although I have not been with the guerrillas for a long time, I can also see that this is an army with ideals and beliefs, and they believe that they will be able to defeat the invaders, believe that it will be better in the future, and they even believe that they will be able to win the whole of China in the future." ”

After a pause, Gao Shenxing said in an accentuated tone: "Their equipment is very poor, but their tactics are flexible, they will never fight hard, they will fight if they can fight, and they will withdraw if they can't fight, and there is no unpopular superior to blindly command their military operations, in short, this is an army full of vigor and hope." ”

Xu Shijiu said thoughtfully: "So you think it's bright to stay here?" ”

"yes, I think it's bright to stay here." Gao Shenxing did not shy away from saying what was in his heart, but he immediately said, "But captain, I have always been a soldier of the 19th Brigade, and I will never do anything to abandon my brothers and give up my siblings, so I will listen to you if I go and stay." ”

Xu Shijiu sighed and said: "Be cautious, what you said may be right, staying in the national army is indeed very aggrieved, and staying here may be very bright, but we are always the national army." ”
