Volume 1: The Battle of Songhu Chapter 21: Veterans Don't Cry (I)
A few days ago, Ergua once asked Gao Madman, others Weishenme wanted to give him the nickname of a madman, at that time Gao Madman just smiled and did not answer, but Xie Gouzi next to him said, if you have seen him crazy, you will not ask like this, now, Ergua finally knows that Gao Madman Weishenme will have the nickname of a madman.
It's crazy that a high madman cuts down a devil!
The two touched, and the high madman slashed straight with a knife, and then cut the ghost army Cao Lianren who rushed to the front into two with a gun, and the devil second lieutenant in the back stabbed straight with a knife, and the high madman dodged and smashed the devil second lieutenant's face door with an elbow, and then the devil private behind him turned around and ran away in fright, and was chased by the high madman and cut off half of his head.
In the blink of an eye, the high madman has already cut down three Japanese soldiers in a row!
There was a devil soldier who went around behind Gao Maniac and tried to sneak attack, but was knocked down by Gao Shenxing with a shot, Gao Shenxing even shot and stabbed, and killed no less Japanese soldiers than Gao Maniac.
Gao Shenxing turned around and saw the devil soldier who was shot in the head, bared his teeth at Gao Shenxing, and then retreated back to back with Gao Shenxing to the corner of a broken wall, because the dozens of devils left by Zuihou had already fanned up with bayonets, and no matter how powerful Gao Maniac and Gao Shenxing were in white-knuckle combat, it was impossible to stand up to the joint attack of so many devils from all sides.
Soon, the two were forced into a corner, and there was no way back.
The two sides confronted each other, Gao Madman and Gao Shenxing refused to attack easily, and both of them were thinking about Zuihou bringing a few more devils.
The Japanese soldiers who surrounded the two also did not act rashly, because they knew very well that the two Chinese soldiers in front of them were assassination masters, and if they rashly fought with bayonets, they might be caught by them and stabbed to death on the spot if they were not careful.
A Japanese second lieutenant took out the Wang Ba box and quietly pulled the trigger, but only heard a click, but the gun did not go off, the failure rate of the Wang Ba box was even higher than that of the crooked handle, the Japanese second lieutenant was so angry that he shouted in stiff Chinese: "Chinese soldiers, surrender, if you surrender, you can spare you from death." ”
"Whew!" The high madman spat at the Japanese lieutenant from afar.
At this moment, Ergua's cry for help suddenly came from not far from the left: "Brother madman, save me, save me......"
The high madman didn't look back, staring at the Japanese soldier in front of him, and yelled: "Don't be afraid, Ergua, pull the grenade and fight with the devil, kill one to save the capital, and kill two to earn!" ”
"Brother Crazy, I'm afraid, I'm afraid of ......" Ergua held a grenade in his left hand, pulled the fuse in his right hand, the person sat on the ground, kicked hard with both feet, and the whole person kept slipping towards the corner of the wall behind him, tears and snot flowed all over his face, he was really scared, and the left hand holding the grenade was trembling violently.
The two Japanese soldiers who pressed up had obviously discovered that Ergua was a rookie, so although Ergua was holding a grenade, they were not afraid at all, they just held the bayonet with a big grin, and pressed forward unhurriedly, while constantly babbling something in Japanese, trying to distract Ergua.
"Don't come, don't come here, come here again and I'll play the strings!" Retreating to the corner, Ergua had no place to retreat, so he had to wave a grenade at the two Japanese soldiers, while shouting hoarsely, but under the great fear, he only felt that a hot stream of urine under his crotch had squirted out, and he was so frightened that he was incontinent.
"Oh? Haha...... "Seeing this, the two Japanese soldiers immediately got up, and they leaned back and laughed.
However, at this moment, a stormy barrage suddenly poured from the west side of Broadway Road, and dozens of devil soldiers around Gao Shenxing and Gao Shenxing suddenly burst into a blood mist, and then fell down like wheat cut down by a farmer with a sickle, Gao Luozi and Gao Shenxing suddenly turned back, and reinforcements came up!
On the west side of Broadway Road, Xu 19 had quietly touched up with more than 20 heavily armed daredevils, one color of German-style steel helmets, one color of German flower machines, and more than 20 flower organs opened fire violently, intertwined into a dense barrage, and all the dozens of Japanese soldiers on the bridgehead position were sieve.
The Japanese devils thought that the national army had run out of ammunition, so they were a little careless.
The two Japanese soldiers in front of Ergua were also shot, one was shot through the neck and fell to the ground, only one convulsed vigorously, and the other was hit in the thigh, struggling to get up and run back.
Ergua was stunned for a moment, and then he didn't know where the courage came from, and he bounced up from the ground with a snort, and a Tarzan pressed the Japanese soldier to the ground, and then picked up the grenade and smashed it in front of the Japanese soldier, again and again, and again, and again, until someone rushed up and snatched the grenade from his hand.
Ergua turned around and saw that it was Xu Shijiu, so he hugged Xu Shijiu's thigh and cried, crying and howling heartbreakingly: "Captain, all dead, all the people in our 1st squadron are dead, hey, all dead, all dead, only the three of us are left, captain, hey......, hey, all dead, all dead, only the three of us are left, captain, heavi, heew, heew, hee, hea, hee
Xu Shijiu picked up Ergua hard, then patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Veteran, don't cry!" ”
More than 20 daredevils also stepped forward one by one, patting Ergua's shoulders one by one, and several veterans also gave Ergua a thumbs up, although his pants were still wet, from the eyes of these veterans, Ergua saw recognition, and trust, Ergua was suddenly filled with a huge pride, because he was also a veteran.

Nanxiang Guyi Garden, Headquarters of the 9th Army.
Zhang Zhizhong had just returned from meeting with Xia Chuzhong, commander of the 98th Division, at the Zhenru Railway Station, and Chairman Jiang was transferring troops from all over the country, and the 98th Division was the first reinforcement division to rush to Shanghai.
After meeting with Zhang Zhizhong, Xia Chuzhong directly drove into Yangshupu with his troops.
Zhang Zhizhong strode into the war room, and asked while untying the armed belt around his waist: "Mu Tao, can there be progress?" ”
Tong Yuanliang put down his pencil and saluted Zhang Zhizhong first, and then replied: "General, the 87th Division's attack on several major strongholds of Hujiang University, Gongda Yarn Factory and Navy Playground was very unsmooth, more than half of the 517th and 518th regiments of the 259th Brigade were killed or wounded, and the 522nd Regiment of the 261st Brigade was almost all gone, and there were only a few pairs of food burdens left. ”
Zhang Zhizhong waved his hand impatiently and said, "I already knew this." ”
Tong Yuanliang said: "The battle situation on the side of the naval headquarters has also been repeated, after the Japanese army contracted, our army's offensive was seriously blocked, before dark, the Japanese army invested more than a dozen armored vehicles and about an infantry brigade, launched a strong counterattack, broke through several defense lines of our army in a row, and the patriotic girls' school was lost again. ”
Seeing that Zhang Zhizhong's face was gloomy, Tong Yuanliang hurriedly said: "But don't worry, the 264 Brigade is organizing troops to counterattack, and Gao Zhisong (the commander of the 264 Brigade who replaced General Huang Meixing) has already made a military order on the phone, and if he can't recapture the Patriotic Girls' School tonight, he will come to see him." ”
"What about Qiujiang Road and Honghe Road and Bridge?" Zhang Zhi was most concerned about Yang Han Xianyuan's regiment, because as long as Han Xianyuan's regiment could be nailed to the position, the connection between the Hongkou Japanese army and the Yangshupu Japanese army would be cut off, and the Hongkou Japanese army would not be able to obtain any material replenishment from the Huishan wharf, which was undoubtedly crucial to the entire Shanghai war situation.
Tong Yuanliang's face became more and more solemn, and said: "Han Xianyuan's regiment is stubbornly defending Qiujiang Road, and the casualties are very large, Sun Yuanliang has even sent his division headquarters guard battalion up, and the 19th Brigade guarding the Honghe Road and Bridge was shelled by the Japanese Navy Izumo cruiser, and also suffered heavy casualties. ”
"What did you say, Nineteenth Brigade?!" Zhang Zhizhong frowned when he heard this.
Zhang Zhizhong can't help but worry, although the backbone of the 19th Brigade is a veteran of the 19th Route Army, and Xu 19's tactical command ability is also extremely good, but this is not enough to make up for the disadvantage of the 19th Brigade in weapons and equipment.
"Isn't this child's play, let a security brigade take on this important task?"
"This is indeed a bit inconsiderate, the Nineteenth Brigade is not the Central Army after all."
"The Honghe Road and Bridge is the pivot connecting Hongkou and Yangshupu districts, and the Japanese army in Yangshupu District will definitely gather heavy troops to fight back, if the position is lost, who will bear the responsibility?"
Several senior staff members in the war room suddenly whispered.
Tong Yuanliang was also speechless, he had never been to the front line, and he didn't have much to say.
In the suffocating silence, a rush of footsteps suddenly came, and when everyone looked back hurriedly, they saw a communications staff officer who had hurriedly walked into the war room and reported to Zhang Zhizhong: "General, the 88th Division has just called, and the 524th Regiment and the 19th Brigade have repelled the Japanese counterattack and held the Qiujiang Road and Honghe Road and Bridge. ”
"Really? The position is held?! Zhang Zhizhong was surprised when he heard this.
"Wouldn't it, just a security brigade will guard the Honghe Road and Bridge?"
"It's not strange that Han Xianyuan's regiment can hold Qiujiang Road, but the 19th Brigade can also hold the Honghe Road and Bridge position?"
"I don't believe it either, just with a few broken guns from the security team, I dare to fight a positional battle with the Japanese army? And won the war? ”
Several senior staff members in the war room whispered again, and a colonel staff officer directly asked the communications staff officer: "Brother, didn't little Japan launch a counterattack on the Honghe Road and Bridge position at all?" ”
Zhang Zhizhong and several other operational staff officers also looked at each other and felt that this was reasonable.
"How so?" The communications staff officer shook his head again and again, "The call was personally from Zhang Baiting, chief of staff of the 88th Division, and he made it clear on the phone that the Japanese army mobilized six armored vehicles, two tanks and two infantry brigades to launch a fierce attack on Broadway and Xihuade Road Bridge, which were guarded by the 19th Brigade, and fought for a whole afternoon. ”
"What, there are tanks, armored vehicles, and the cruiser Izumo?!"
"God, the Izumo's main gun is 203mm! This big guy shot out, enough to collapse the reinforced concrete building, and on the ground, it was a big pit with a diameter of dozens of meters! ”
"I can't imagine, I can't imagine how this nineteenth brigade has persevered?"
"An afternoon, a whole afternoon, to endure an afternoon under the indiscriminate bombardment of Japanese tanks, armored vehicles, gunboats, and cruisers, did I hear me wrong?"
After the communications staff officer finished speaking, the war room suddenly exploded.
