Volume 1: Battle of Songhu Chapter 177

In the twilight, Gao Shenxing and Li Mu were accompanying Xu Shijiu to review the newly rebuilt 5th Brigade.

With Gao Shenxing as the brigade commander of the First Brigade of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui, as well as the successive sacrifices of Noguchi, Wang Yidao and other bones, the 5th Brigade has actually existed in name only, and the rebuilt 5th Brigade has expanded to more than 50 people, organized into three teams, Li Mu personally served as the captain of the L team, Yan Laosi served as the captain of the first team, and the little madman served as the captain of the 3rd team.

These more than 50 team members are all elites selected by Li Mu, Yan Laosi and the little madman from more than 5,000 veterans in the past few days.

"Captain, how's it going?" Seeing that more than 50 team members were all with protruding chests and bellies, Li Mu was inevitably a little proud.

"Well, it looks good." Xu Shijiu nodded, and immediately changed his tone and continued, "However, I hope it won't be an embroidered pillow." ”

"Captain, what do you call that?" Li Mu was unhappy and snorted, "What is an embroidered pillow?" You give me three months to see what I can do with this force? Hum. ”

"I can only give you half a month at most." Xu Shijiu said coldly, "It will come in handy after half a month."

Xu Shijiu rebuilt the 5th Brigade, not just to create a special force, but to rob the money ship of Wang's puppet government

The strength of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army in southern Anhui is increasing, and it is about to exceed 7,000 people, and the pressure on this logistical support is getting heavier and heavier.

However, China is poor and weak, and Longkou is a mountainous county, so it is absolutely impossible to find a way from Longkou.

Therefore, Xu Shijiu could only hit the head of Wang's puppet government, and robbing the golden ticket became inevitable.

Moreover, this matter cannot be postponed, it must be put on the agenda as soon as possible, and it is only when you sit in that position that you may know that it is not easy to feed an army.

"Okay" Li Mu pondered for a moment, and then readily agreed, "Half a month is half a month." ”

Xu Shijiu nodded with satisfaction, and was about to say a few words of encouragement when Ye Ruxue hurriedly walked over.

Xu Shijiu immediately realized that he was afraid that something had happened to the New Fourth Army, so he handed over the 5th Brigade to Li Mu at the moment, and then hurried back to the headquarters.

Back at the headquarters, as soon as she entered the door, Ye Ruxue reported: "Commander, Gu Zhutong has already attacked the New Fourth Army, and our intelligence department has also received a secret order from Luojiawan No. 16, ordering us to try to cut off the Communist Party in Longkou County. ”

Xu Shijiu was not worried about the secret order issued by Luojiawan No. 16 to the Intelligence Department, because after the last assassination incident, the relationship between Ye Ruxue and Chongqing Luojiawan No. 16 has become extremely delicate, in this case, Ye Ruxue is unlikely to carry out the order of Chongqing Luojiawan No. 16 unconditionally, not to mention, the Communist Party in Longkou County is not so easy to cut off, and only one high-minded marching commander can't move.

What really worries Xu 19 is the New Fourth Army in southern Anhui, or to put it more directly, Xu 19 is very worried about Shu Tongwen's safety.

Frankly speaking, Xu Shijiu is very disgusted with the Kuomintang, and he is disgusted to the extreme, but he has no bad feelings towards the Communist Party, but he just has no bad feelings, but if you want to say that you have a good feeling, it is not much of a good feeling.

Although the Southeast Bureau of the Communist Party of China sent dozens of political workers to the Ministry of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui to help strengthen the ideological control of officers and soldiers, this was also what Xu 19 got from the New Fourth Army with a lot of weapons and equipment, so it was more like a deal.

As for the personal friendship between Xu 19 and Shu Tongwen, it is still a personal friendship after all, and it will not affect Xu 19's political inclination for the time being.

Therefore, even if the New Fourth Army in southern Anhui let the national army be completely annihilated in Maolin, Xu Shijiu would only feel regretful, because whether it is the national army or the New Fourth Army, it is China's national defense liliang, and China's national defense liliang cannibalism can only make the little Japanese fisherman profit.

The New Fourth Army was wiped out by the National Army, and Xu Shijiu would only feel a little regretful, but if Shu Tongwen had a good one, it would be another matter.

In a sense, the Nineteenth Brigade is the continuation of the Nineteenth Route Army, and Xu Nineteen has completely transferred his feelings for the Nineteenth Route Army to the Nineteenth Brigade, so for the remaining veterans of the Nineteenth Brigade, such as Gao Shenxing, such as Shu Tongwen, such as Li Zihan, Xu Nineteen is extremely concerned.

"How's it going?" Because Xu Shijiu was concerned about Shu Tongwen's safety, he subconsciously held Ye Ruxue's little hand and asked urgently, "Has the New Fourth Army broken through or has the National Army been wiped out?" ”

Ye Ruxue was stunned for a moment, and looked down at Xu Shijiu's hand in a daze.

Xu Shijiu realized the gaffe and quickly withdrew his hand.

Ye Ruxue sighed in her heart and said in a low voice: "At the moment, the two sides are still fighting fiercely, but Ye Ting, the commander of the New Fourth Army, has been detained, and the New Fourth Army should not be able to hold out for too long." ”

Xu Shijiu's face suddenly showed a look of anxiety.

Gao Shenxing looked at Xu Shijiu and said, "Old Xu, what do you say?" ”

Gao Shenxing had already joined the Communist Party, and according to his intentions, of course, he immediately sent troops to respond to the New Fourth Army

However, Xu Shijiu is not a member of the Communist Party, he is the commander of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui, so he must think more.

When Xu Shijiu was hesitating, Li Zihan also rushed to hear that Li Zihan's L regiment was the only main regiment stationed in the county.

Seeing Li Zihan walk in, Gao Shenxing's face sank, with Li Zihan's position, he would definitely prevent Xu Shijiu from sending troops to deal with the New Fourth Army.

However, what Li Zihan said next made Gao Shenxing a little incredulous, Li Zihan actually said to Xu Shijiu: "Captain, I have a classmate who is a staff officer in the First Group Army, and he just sent someone to send me a secret letter, the New Fourth Army has been surrounded by the main force of the First Group Army in Maolin, and its destruction is imminent, let's hurry up and send troops to deal with it, right?" ”

Ye Ruxue and Xu Shijiu immediately showed a look of surprise on their faces.

Gao Shenxing even asked: "Zihan, is this what you really mean?" ”

"Nonsense?" Li Zihan said angrily, "I have always believed that one day in the future, the armed forces of your Communist Party are destined to be solved, but it is by no means now, or the captain is right, at the moment when the country is in danger, whether it is the national army, the communist army, or even bandits, we should all unite, the guns are united with the outside world, and jointly attack the Japanese invaders, not to mention ......"

"What's more, the New Fourth Army still has Ah Wen" Xu Shijiu took over the conversation, "Even if we are at Ah Wen, we must not stand idly by"

"Liu Da Gu Liu Da Bone" Xu Shijiu immediately yelled outside the door, and when Liu Da Gu came in, Xu Shijiu said again, "Immediately notify all regiments and battalions directly under it, and assemble in Lijia Town before dawn tomorrow." ”

(Dividing Line)

"Let me down, let me down" Liang boldly struggled, trying to get off Wang Xiaomao's back.

Wang Xiaomao has been so tired that he is panting like a cow and sweating like rain, from last night to now, Wang Xiaomao has run with Liang Daring on his back, for a full seventeen or eighteen hours, except for a few rests in the middle, he has never stopped, he has never drunk a sip of water, he has eaten a mouthful of food, and tens of thousands of Kuomintang troops are chasing after him.

"Wang Xiaomao, I order you to let me down" Liang Daring was annoyed and struggled to pull out his pistol.

Wang Xiaomao didn't listen at all, and shouted miserably: "Regiment leader, you just killed me, and I won't let you down."

"Do you think Lao Tzu really doesn't dare to kill you?" Liang boldly fired, and immediately pulled the nose of the box gun

Wang Xiaomao really had no choice, so he could only ask for help from Shu Tongwen in front of him: "Political commissar, political commissar, political commissar......

"What to shout, what to shout" Liang Daring became more and more angry, and slapped Wang Xiaomao's head, but accidentally touched the wound on his chest, and suddenly hissed in pain.
