"Calf, obedient." Xu Shijiu touched the calf's head and said, "You are an artilleryman, and you can play a greater role in the artillery unit with Lao Hu." ”

"Don't go, don't go, red and black just don't go." The calf shook his head again and again, choked up, "I'm in the Nineteenth Brigade, I'll follow you, Captain, wherever you go, I'll go." ”

Xu Jiu sighed, not knowing how to persuade the calf.

Gao Shenxing seemed to have realized something, and said in a deep voice: "You arranged the brothers one by one and sent them away, but what about you, Lao Xu?" Where are you going? ”

The ears of a dozen veterans pricked up at once.

Xu Shijiu smiled faintly and said, "What ...... me?"

Without waiting for Xu Shijiu to finish speaking, Gao Shenxing interrupted: "Don't tell me that you will go to the military department to be a senior staff member, this is why Heizi believes that the division is only the deputy commander when he goes to the military department, and Wang Yaowu is the army commander, let's not say whether Wang Yaowu wants you or not, Wang Yaowu wants it, you are afraid and unwilling to give in, right?" You never thought of becoming a staff officer, otherwise you wouldn't have declined the teacher's kindness several times. ”

Xu Nineteen smiled bitterly, although Feng Shengfa didn't say it explicitly, Xu Nineteen could still feel that Feng Shengfa hoped that he could go to the military department as a staff officer, but as Gao Shenxing said, how could he, Xu Nineteen, be willing to be a staff officer, wait until today? As early as half a year ago, he became a senior staff member of the 58th Division.

"Captain, aren't you going to be a senior staff member in the military department?" The black blind man shouted, "Then I won't go either." ”

"I'm not going either." Li Mu also said lightly, "Shangfeng can withdraw the formation of the nineteenth brigade, is it possible that he can kill the captain?" As long as the captain is here, the 19th brigade is here, and I, Li Mu, will go with you. ”

"Yes, as long as the captain is here, the nineteenth team is here." Engineer Liao Yaohua became excited as he spoke, and said angrily, "Our 19th Brigade has made so many military exploits, and it is just a matter of not giving commendations from above, and now it is even going to be withdrawn. ”

Although Liao Yaohua is an engineer, he is diametrically opposed to the political tendencies of his old commander Li Zihan, who is a staunch Three People's Advocate and a loyal supporter of Chairman Chiang, while Liao Huihua is similar to Shu Tongwen's ideas, both believe that the Kuomintang is not its roots, and it is simply wishful thinking to try to use the foreigner's liliang to get rid of the control of the foreigner.

Therefore, for the battle sequence of breaking away from the national army, Liao Yaohua did not have a little burden psychologically.

"Yes, no, we are not in the national army" The black blind man and Li Mu also shouted, "Let's go together." ”

"Shut up." Xu Jiujiu was angry, and reprimanded, "I left because Shangfeng didn't want to keep me, but if you leave, the nature is very different, if you leave, you are a deserter, do you know the deserter?" Deserters are shameful, and once you are caught by the gendarmes, you will not only be shot publicly, but you will also be infamous when you die."

"What about being infamous?" Gao Shenxing retorted coldly, "As long as you can fight happily, as long as you can fight Little Japan happily, what about being infamy?" Our generation of soldiers acts, but they seek peace of mind, but they seek to benefit the country, but they seek to benefit the nation, and how can they care about a little false name behind them? ”

Xu Shijiu was silent, because he had no way to refute.

Gao Shenxing said: "In short, when the national army is too aggrieved, it is not enough"

"In the national army, fighting a war is indeed aggrieved." Lu Jianbang ripped off the military hat on his head, and said hatefully, "There are some places where there is no need to defend to the death, but you have to defend to the death, and sometimes you can't attack by force, but you want to attack by force, and as a result, a lot of people died, but the battle was still lost, from Songhu to Nanjing, and then from Xuzhou to De'an, there are really a lot of such bad battles." ”

"Captain." Lu Jianbang looked at Xu Shijiu and said loudly, "As long as you are still with Little Japan, no matter where you go, I will follow you, this national army, I am gone" As he spoke, Lu Jianbang grabbed the military hat in his hand and slammed it on the ground, and after the military hat hit the ground, the whole person suddenly became cheerful, and the clouds between his eyebrows dispersed.

The black blind man, Li Mu, the calf, Lu Jianbang, Gao Shenxing and Liao Yaohua successively expressed their positions, and now Hu Jie and Wang Yidao are left without saying a word, in addition, there are the old camel, the ninth master, the little madman and the three female soldiers, Gao Shenxing's eyes turned to Hu Jie and Wang Yidao, and said in a deep voice: "Old Hu, there are still knives, what do you say?" ”

"I ......" Hu Jie hesitated a little and said, "Lao Gao, do you really want to break away from the national army?" ”

"Everyone has their own ambitions, and they don't have to be forced." Gao Shenxing nodded, and asked Wang Yidao again, "Knife, what about you?" ”

Wang Yidao put the finger bones that had been filed back into the waist loop, and slowly put the small file into the satchel, and patted the bone meal falling on his knees. ”

"Okay, now go back and prepare" Gao Shenxing directly took the idea for Xu Shijiu, and said in a deep voice, "Gather at the brigade headquarters at eight o'clock tonight, we will leave tonight, De'an City, Lao Tzu doesn't want to stay longer for a moment." ”

Gao Shenxing named a few veterans, but ignored the old camel, the ninth master, the little madman and the three female soldiers, but the old camel was not there, and hurriedly got up and asked, "Company Commander Gao, what about us?" ”

"You guys?" Gao Shenxing frowned, he really didn't think about taking the old camel with them, the old camel was lame, the ninth master and the little madman were old and small, and bringing them would inevitably affect the speed of the march.

It's not appropriate to bring Cao Jiao, Gu Yaqin and Yu Huan, these three delicate big girls are really too attractive, leaving them this time will inevitably go deep behind enemy lines, and after arriving in the enemy-occupied area, it will be a step-by-step killing machine, in case half of the road is entangled in little Japan, it will be difficult to get out at that time.

At that moment, Gao Shenxing frowned and said, "You stay, Lao Hu will take care of you." ”

After speaking, Gao Shenxing glanced at Hu Jie coldly, and Hu Jie could only smile bitterly.

"How's that going to work?" The old camel suddenly became anxious and said, "If I don't cook for you, what will you eat?" ”

"And us." Cao Jiao was also anxious, and said repeatedly, "How can the army be successful without medical soldiers, take us with you." ”

The Ninth Master seemed to guess Gao Shenxing's worries, and said, "Don't worry, Senior Chief, we won't drag everyone down." ”

Gao Shenxing was a little moved in his heart, they were all brothers and sisters who depended on each other for life and death, and had been together for more than half a year, and he was really ruthless to leave them behind, and then looked back at Xu Shijiu and said, "Old Xu, what do you say?" ”

Xu Shijiu sighed, shook his head and said, "Why are you suffering, why are you suffering?" ”

"It's all this time, don't talk about these useless things." Gao Shenxing didn't have a good breath, "Do you really think that after you leave, we, the remnants of the Nineteenth Brigade, will be able to have good fruits to eat?" Tell you, that's a dream. Gao Shenxing really didn't believe that Qiu Weida would treat the remnants of the 19th Brigade well.

"Okay." Xu Jiu cheered up and said, "Then let's go together." ”

Since he decided to take everyone with him, Xu Shijiu immediately put the distractions behind him, and immediately ordered the old camel and the ninth master to prepare the grain, and asked Cao Jiao and the others to go back to pack up, and then let the black blind man lead Xiao Hei to stand guard outside the gate, from now on, all the personnel of the 19th Brigade are forbidden to go out.

It's not about trust or distrust, it's about military common sense.

(Dividing Line)

The next day, Qiu Weida, the commander of the 174th Brigade, took a reporter to the small courtyard where the 19th Brigade was stationed, this reporter was Fan Changjiang, a reporter from Ta Kung Pao, who was supposed to follow the military commission condolence group to De'an to participate in the Zhujie meeting, but there was an accident at home before leaving, so it was delayed, and as a result, he failed to catch up with the 74th Army's Zhujie meeting.

This time, he found the 19th Brigade station, and Fan Changjiang was also entrusted to send a letter.

"Is there anyone, is there anyone inside?" Seeing that the courtyard door was closed, Qiu Weida's adjutant ran up and knocked on the door, but the door opened with a light touch of his hand, and when he entered, he found that there was no one inside, and there was no one in the main house, wing room and backyard. ”

"Gone?" Qiu Weida couldn't help frowning when he heard this.

"Don't run away, do you?" The adjutant said, "I'll take someone to get them back." ”

After speaking, the adjutant turned around and wanted to gather the guards, but was stopped by Qiu Weida: "Come back, what to run, the nineteenth brigade must be on a mission." ”

The adjutant scratched his head and remained silent.

Fan Changjiang held the envelope and said with a wry smile: "Brigade Commander Qiu, then this letter ......?"

Qiu Weida took the envelope, handed it to the adjutant without looking at it, and said, "Put the letter here first, I will transfer it to Captain Xu for you if I have the chance." ”
