That middle-aged man doesn't have as many entanglements as Li Shuwen, this middle-aged man with a straightforward personality seems to say whatever he wants in his heart, so he said directly to Zhao Xiaojun: "Sir, I think what you said is a bit thin, General Zhang Xueliang's efforts in the Xi'an Incident are a huge contribution to the cause of China's War of Resistance and cannot be ignored." ”

After hearing the words of this middle-aged man, Zhao Xiaojun replied to Zhao Xiaojun like Xiaojun's grandfather at the beginning: "That's what he Zhang Xueliang owes to the 30 million people in the Northeast." ”

After hearing Zhao Xiaojun's words, the middle-aged man suddenly didn't know how to answer, after all, the people in the Northeast have been living under the iron hooves of the Japanese army for six years, and he has also heard about what kind of life those ordinary people live.

Zhao Xiaojun also knew that it was meaningless to say some of these things now, so Zhao Xiaojun suddenly changed the topic and said to the middle-aged man: "I don't know what this big brother did before?" ”

After hearing Zhao Xiaojun's question, this middle-aged man did not wait for Li Shuwen to introduce him, so he replied by himself: "My name is Zhang Dalong, I used to be a member of the 29th Army Broadsword Team in the early years, and I just saw the heroic actions of that brother, which reminded me of the scene when I used to fight the Japanese with my brothers, and it was difficult to control myself for a while, the world only knows that my 29th Army Broadsword Team is powerful in the world, but who knows what a big price we paid!" ”

Zhao Xiaojun recognized Zhang Da very much, after all, the physical fitness of Chinese soldiers in this period was generally inferior to that of the Japanese army, and even if there was a special research on the Japanese army's stabbing technique, the gap could not be made up. What's more, the Chinese army's choice of white-knuckle warfare was a helpless choice made on the premise that its own firepower was inferior to that of the Japanese devils.

In the end, Zhao Xiaojun said to him: "Brother, I have long admired the name of the 29th Army Broadsword Team, so I want to learn from Brother Zhang about the eight swords that once defeated the Japanese devils, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

"Sir, if you want to learn, of course you have no choice, but I can't afford this big brother, just call me Dalong in the future." After Zhang Dalong heard Zhao Xiaojun's words, he hurriedly said.

"That's right, Childe, no, I'll call you Mr. with Brother Zhang, Brother Zhang is right, don't call us Big Brother in the future, we can't afford it!" After hearing Zhang Dalong's words, the twelve big men who were the first to talk to Li Shuwen also continued.

Zhao Xiaojun originally wanted to hold on, after all, they were all men after the bloody battle with the little devils, and they were all people that Zhao Xiaojun admired, plus their grades were older than Zhao Xiaojun, so Zhao Xiaojun's big brother was from the heart, but when Zhao Xiaojun saw Zhang Dalong's firm eyes, Zhao Xiaojun did not insist.

Because they had already met little devils in this vicinity, Zhao Xiaojun thought that they had reached the war zone between China and Japan, so this is not a place to stay for a long time.

Therefore, after Zhao Xiaojun said the idea of moving forward, he immediately got the approval of Li Shuwen and others, and as for the poisonous island boys, of course, they would not use the slightest objection to the suggestions put forward by their masters.

But Zhao Xiaojun and they didn't leave here right away, as for why? But don't forget, Zhao Xiaojun and his party had a wounded person, so Zhang Dalong and the others made a simple stretcher with two big guns and the rope provided by Zhao Xiaojun as raw materials, and let the wounded soldier lie on it, and after Zhang Dalong and the three big men and the four of them carried it, Zhao Xiaojun and the others really left here.

Of course, before leaving, Zhao Xiaojun and they didn't forget to take away the weapons of the four little devils, Zhao Xiaojun and they got a total of four Type 38 rifles (with bayonets. ), eight melon grenades (the kind of grenades that require a knock before they can be thrown.) ), as well as two hundred rounds of ammunition for Type 38 rifles.

And before leaving, Zhao Xiaojun also deliberately chopped off the heads of the four devils, and used these four heads to place a small Jingguan in an open space in front of the four headless corpses, and carved with a bayonet on a big tree in front of the Jingguan, "Those who offend my Huaxia Tianwei will be punished even if they are far away." "Eleven conspicuous characters, the depth of their handwriting, can be described as three points into the wood.

In order to take care of the wounded soldiers' injuries, Zhao Xiaojun and their walking speed was not fast, but Zhao Xiaojun and they still came to the Yuhuatai position before ten o'clock in the morning.

"Military powerhouse, idlers are not allowed to enter." Just when Zhao Xiaojun and the others were still two hundred meters away from the Yuhuatai position, a soldier with grass all over his body suddenly appeared on a grass that looked very normal from the outside, and said to Zhao Xiaojun and them.

In fact, Zhao Xiaojun and the others had already discovered this hidden soldier, but because he didn't have Zhao Xiaojun and a few of them fell out with killing intent, so Zhao Xiaojun and they didn't care about him.

Of course, the people who found this soldier did not include the eleven people under Li Shuwen's command (Note: There were two people carrying stretchers. So when the soldier had just come out, he startled them, and reflexively took out the twenty-shot barge gun he was carrying with him from his arms.

When the soldier saw that some of Zhao Xiaojun and the others were carrying weapons, he didn't care about the existence of foreigners in Zhao Xiaojun's ranks, (Note: Because the ****** government pinned its hopes for stopping the war between China and Japan on the so-called League of Nations, all the Kuomintang officers at this time strictly ordered their subordinates to be polite to those with Western faces, which is also the reason why the soldiers were not murderous after seeing Zhao Xiaojun and others. Directly touched his hand to the armed belt where the wooden-handled grenade was placed, and Serena and the others clearly saw that the lid of one of the grenades had been opened, so Serena and Emilia, the two vampire beauties, immediately protected Zhao Xiaojun behind them, and at the same time, Serena and several of them also took out weapons and aimed them at the soldier.

Just when the tension was raging, Zhao Xiaojun and Li Shuwen said almost at the same time: "Stop!" ”

The sound was deafening, attracting the attention of everyone present to the two of them, and after the two people, one old and one young, glanced at each other, Li Shuwen finally came out and said: "Little brother, don't be nervous, we are not bad people, we are here to see your General Zhu Chi." The reason why Li Shuwen was asked to do this was because Zhao Xiaojun took into account the amiable face of the old man, which might put this nervous soldier at ease, so as not to be too nervous and cause a tragedy.

And Li Shuwen also saw from Zhao Xiaojun's eyes that Zhao Xiaojun's thoughts were the reason why he acted like this.

Facts have proved that Zhao Xiaojun's idea is very correct, and the soldier was obviously relieved in his heart after seeing Zhao Xiaojun and his party put down the weapons in their hands, and Li Shuwen, a gray-haired old man, walked out of it and said those words.

These Zhao Xiaojun and others can be seen from the fact that he relaxed the pull ring of the wooden handle grenade, but he did not completely put down the pull ring in his hand, Zhao Xiaojun and they knew that he did not completely believe Zhao Xiaojun and the others.

Li Shuwen didn't show a trace of panic when he saw this, but he waved his hand, and the two disciples who were holding the stretcher by Zhao Xiaojun and the others walked out with the stretcher.

As the two people carrying the stretcher moved, the Kuomintang soldier who was confronting Zhao Xiaojun also saw the wounded soldier lying on the stretcher, he pounced directly and shouted: "Brother, what's wrong with you!" ”

The Kuomintang soldier first checked his younger brother, and found that his younger brother was just in a coma due to excessive blood loss, and there was no danger to his life, so he stood up directly, walked to Zhao Xiaojun and them, plopped, knelt there directly, and said loudly: "Thank you benefactors for saving my brother's life, otherwise I really don't know how to explain to my parents under the spring." ”

"Everyone is Chinese, so you don't have to be so polite, but can you take me to see General Zhu Chi now?" Zhao Xiaojun said to the soldier.

After hearing Zhao Xiaojun's words, the Kuomintang soldier's face immediately turned red, obviously he was embarrassed.

So he didn't speak, and directly led Zhao Xiaojun and the others to the position in Yuhuatai.

After entering the Yuhuatai position, the Kuomintang soldier first called a few comrades-in-arms he knew to pick up his younger brother from the improvised stretcher built by Zhang Dalong and a few people, and walked to the clinic where the military doctor was located.

And he himself then took Zhao Xiaojun and others to the headquarters set up on Yuhuatai Mountain.

Because someone led it, even if Zhao Xiaojun and the others were strangers in the eyes of those soldiers, no one came out to stop them, until Zhao Xiaojun and his party walked outside the 262 Brigade Headquarters before they were stopped by the guards guarding the headquarters.

Zhao Xiaojun and the others all knew that this was a process that had to be experienced, so Zhao Xiaojun and the others had no objection when they saw this, so they had to wait in the reception room outside.

It was said to be a reception room, but it was actually a room next to the headquarters, with nothing but a few chairs and tables. It seems that the people in the command already know that Zhao Xiaojun and a few of them rescued a brother from the hands of the little devil, so these people still have a good impression of Zhao Xiaojun and a few of them.

No, after Zhao Xiaojun and the others came to the reception room, someone came in to pour tea for Zhao Xiaojun and them, although it was not a precious tea, but for Zhao Xiaojun and others who had been marching for five hours, it was the best thing to quench their thirst.

Zhao Xiaojun and the others didn't wait too long, but it was just time to drink a cup of tea, and a herald came to the reception room to inform Zhao Xiaojun and the others that General Zhu Chi had already agreed with them.

This time, Zhao Xiaojun didn't bring all the Poison Island Men and them, after all, this was just a meeting, and it would be bad to bring so many people to Zhu Chi to cause a misunderstanding, so Zhao Xiaojun just took Selina and Moon Shadow plus Li Shuwen, a total of four people, to the headquarters to see Zhu Chi.

The herald had no objection to Zhao Xiaojun and how many of them went to see his general, and when he saw that they were ready, he turned his head and walked outside.

Following behind the herald, Zhao Xiaojun and the others came to the gate of the headquarters again, this time the guards guarding the headquarters did not prevent Zhao Xiaojun and others from entering, so that Zhao Xiaojun and several of them successfully entered the headquarters of the 262nd Brigade.

Walking into the headquarters of the 262nd Brigade, the scene Zhao Xiaojun saw was no different from what he saw at the headquarters of Xiaoshan Ling, and it was also busy, with Kuomintang officers of different ranks holding battle reports or documents back and forth, and all kinds of announcements and discussions were mixed together.

It's just that the headquarters here is a little shabby compared to the one in Xiao Shanling.

Zhao Xiaojun was not surprised by this, because after all, Xiao Shanling's headquarters was in the city, and it was normal for Zhu Chi to have some gaps outside the city.

In front of a large military map, Zhao Xiaojun met General Zhu Chi, the supreme commander of the Yuhuatai position.

To be honest, General Zhu Chi's first impression of Zhao Xiaojun was that the man in front of him was an elegant scholar, not a general who fought a hundred battles, but Zhao Xiaojun would not underestimate this man because of his elegant appearance.

Because in the history of the real world, General Zhu Chi, known as Xinmin, was born in Xiushui County, Jiangxi Province, in 1904. Since childhood, he was studious and diligent in studying, but later he was angry at the decline of the country, the rampant imperialism, and the corruption and incompetence of the warlord forces, so he was determined to join the army, save the country and save the people, and enrich the country and strengthen the army. In 1925, Dr. Sun Yat-sen established the Nationalist Government in Guangzhou to prepare for the Northern Expedition to overthrow the imperialist forces and the Beiyang warlord government. When Zhu Chi heard the news, he was so excited that he left home alone, went through great hardships to come to Guangzhou, and was admitted to the third phase of the Infantry Department of the Huangpu Army Military Academy.

During his studies and training at the military academy, he trained hard and studied hard. In addition, with his taciturn personality, he behaves well, is calm and sophisticated, and has a Confucian demeanor, which is very appreciated by the school.

Meritorious service in the Northern Expedition:

After graduating from the military academy, the following year, Zhu Chi participated in the Northern Expedition with the army, threw himself into the revolutionary torrent, and served as a trainee officer in the National Revolutionary Army. With the army to attack Pingjiang, Hunan, and then to Jiujiang, Nanchang and other places in Jiangxi. He fought bravely, made outstanding achievements, and was promoted to the post of platoon and company commander.

The Songhu battlefield shows its might:

On January 28, 1932, the Japanese army launched an attack on Shanghai, and the 19th Route Army stationed in the Songhu area resisted. In order to support the 19th Route Army's anti-Japanese war, Zhu Chi's 88th Division was ordered to Shanghai for reinforcements in mid-February. On February 15, Zhu Chi arrived at Nanxiang Station in Shanghai with his troops. The next day, it entered the positions in Jiangwan, Miaohang and Yunzaobin. On the 20th, the Japanese army launched a large-scale attack on the Miaohang and Jiangwan areas, with planes bombing indiscriminately in the air, and the Japanese navy firing at the positions with naval guns. Zhu Chi and his comrades-in-arms fought a bloody battle with the Japanese army. After two days and nights of hard fighting, the Japanese suffered heavy casualties and were forced to stop the attack. The Battle of Miaoxing was a very beautiful battle fought in the Shanghai War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, and it was also the first fiasco of the Japanese army in Shanghai. In a congratulatory message, the Nanjing High Command said: "Since the battle of the temple on 22 July, the reputation of our army in the international community has increased tenfold. After that, Zhu Chi and others continued to fight against the Japanese army in the Jiangwan area. It was not until early March, when the Shanghai Truce was signed, that he was ordered to retreat. Soon, Zhu Chi was promoted to battalion commander for his merits.

After the outbreak of the all-out War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in 1937, Zhu Chi, then the commander of the 262nd Brigade of the 88th Division, heard the news and vowed to serve the country with his life, step up the training of the troops, and at the same time often carry out patriotic education for the officers and soldiers to stimulate the patriotic enthusiasm of the officers and soldiers. And repeatedly asked for battle and service.

In early August 1937, the Japanese army caused an incident in Shanghai and deliberately provoked a war. The 88th Division was the elite main force of the Chinese Army at that time, and the 88th Division was ordered to go to Shanghai to prepare for the battle. At this time, Zhu Chi was promoted to the commander of the 262nd Brigade Major General. On August 12, Zhu Chi led his troops to Shanghai, and arrived at Zhenru the next day. After arriving at the defensive area, Zhu Chi found that the existing soldiers went to the streets to see the excitement and had the idea of underestimating the enemy, so he immediately convened a meeting of regimental and battalion officers and ordered all officers and men: 1. Stick to their combat posts and not be allowed to go out on the streets; 2. Be familiar with the terrain and grasp the dynamics of the Japanese army; 3. Delay dinner for two hours and rush to repair and strengthen the fortifications. At this time, the Japanese army stepped up its efforts to gather troops in Shanghai, and the war was about to break out. Zhu Chi was ordered to lead the 262nd Brigade to quickly advance to Zhabei and occupy the North Railway Station, Bazi Bridge, and Jiangwan Line.

The Bazi Bridge was the ignition point of the two Songhu Battles, and its strategic location was very important. On the 13th, the battle officially began, and Zhu Chi led his troops to fight the Japanese army for the first time at Bazi Bridge and other places. On the 15th, the Japanese Navy Command. A fierce attack was launched, and with the coordination of the 264 Brigade, the Japanese naval headquarters was finally occupied.

In the second half of August, Japanese reinforcements arrived in Shanghai one after another, and with their advantages of being well-equipped, well-trained, and numerous, they quickly occupied Luodian, Wusong and other places. The 262nd Brigade was forced to shift from offensive to defensive, retreating between the banks of the Suzhou Creek and Jiangwan, using Zhabei as a center to build a market defense system. The Japanese army attacked the Zhabei position several times, but all failed.

The Battle of Songhu was one of the most brutal battles in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, with hundreds of thousands of troops from both sides gathering in a small area to fight to the death. General Zhu Chi and the vast number of soldiers of the Anti-Japanese War braved the enemy's fierce attacks and repelled the enemy's attacks many times. It has inspired the confidence of the military and people throughout the country in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and at the same time won the support of international public opinion for China. It successfully smashed the arrogant ambition of the Japanese army to "occupy Shanghai within 24 hours". At the beginning of November, our army suffered too many casualties, and for the overall situation of the Anti-Japanese War, our army withdrew from the front line of Shanghai, and the Battle of Songhu was lost.

Nanjing's donation has been passed down through the ages:

At the beginning of November, the Japanese army landed in Hangzhou Bay and attacked the flank of the Chinese defenders in Shanghai, forming an encirclement trend, and Zhu Chi was ordered to lead his troops to retreat and move to the existing defensive positions on the Wufu Line and the Xicheng Line. However, due to the fact that there were no troops left behind in the existing positions, and there were no guides, the troops could not evacuate when they entered, and they were in a mess. The 262nd Brigade gained a foothold at the end, and the Japanese troops tracked it down and quickly broke through the existing positions. Zhu Chi led his troops to retreat to Nanjing and participated in the defense of Nanjing.

The enemy army is advancing towards Nanjing step by step, and the situation is critical. Nanjing was the capital of the Nationalist Government at that time, and its geographical location was important, and it had an important symbolic significance, which could not be missed. The Japanese army also knew the importance of Nanjing, and was bound to take Nanjing and force the Nationalist government to submit. The military authorities decided to fight the enemy to the end in Nanking in order to boost the morale of the military and civilians throughout the country.

Tang Shengzhi, commander of the Nanjing garrison, ordered the 88th Division to defend the hinterland position, and the Zhu Chi Brigade to guard Yuhuatai. General Zhu Chi personally inspected the position, taught the soldiers to be ghosts killed in battle rather than slaves to the country, and encouraged the soldiers to fight bravely to kill the enemy and swear to live and die with the capital Nanjing.

Beginning in early December, the main force of the Japanese army of more than 100,000 people began to frantically attack the positions of our defenders on the periphery of Nanjing. The Sixth Division was the west road, attacking Wuhu through Xuancheng in an attempt to cut off the retreat of the defenders of Nanjing. Although the enemy army has succeeded many times in previous battles, due to the heroic resistance of the anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians, the enemy has paid a heavy price for each attack. In order to quickly take Nanjing, the Japanese army concentrated its firepower and attacked fiercely, and all units of our defending army immediately entered the defense of Nanjing without repairing after the Battle of Songhu, and the combat effectiveness was weakened. After fierce fighting, most of the outlying positions fell into the hands of the enemy, and the situation was critical.

On the 9th, the Japanese army on the western route broke through Shoushan. On December 11, 1937, the main force of the Japanese army attacked the line of Yuhuatai at Zhonghua Gate and fought fiercely with General Zhu Chi's 262nd Brigade. Zhu Chi held the Pingyan 4 kilometers away from Yuhuatai with two regiments, and one regiment held Yuhuatai, and the brigade headquarters was set up on Yuhuatai Mountain. The Japanese planes and artillery bombarded the Yuhuatai position fiercely, and most of the fortifications were destroyed. In the fierce battle, in the face of the enemy's dense and frantic group charge, General Zhu Chi personally came to command the position and commanded our army to fight. With infantry fire, the enemy held the enemy, and the enemy suffered heavy casualties. On many occasions when the position was critical, General Zhu Chi personally led a death squad to fight into the enemy group, and the soldiers doubled their courage and followed the brigade commander to rush into the enemy group, not afraid of sacrifice, and fought the enemy with flesh and blood.

The Japanese offensive became more and more intense, and the positions of the neighboring units of the 262nd Brigade were shaken. Zhu Chi understood the righteousness at this time, and in order to save the country and the people, he was determined to die. He commanded his soldiers with a pistol, only allowed to advance, not retreat, and repelled Japanese attacks again and again. Due to the large number of new recruits in the unit, there was a lack of sufficient time to rest and recuperate, and the troops suffered heavy losses, and in the end, only one special service company remained. The Japanese army was still rushing like a tide, and Zhu Chi realized that it was impossible to break through, and the only way to fight to the death was to fight to the death. He ordered the soldiers to open the lids of dozens of boxes of grenades, connect the fuses with ropes, and place them in front of the position, and when the Japanese attacked to the front of the position, all the hundreds of grenades exploded. The Japanese army was full of flesh and blood, and the corpses were everywhere.

On the morning of the 12th, the enemy, who had failed many failed attacks, became angry and concentrated more than 100 bombers and dozens of heavy artillery to storm the Yuhuatai position, and then charged the group with superior infantry. General Zhu Chi led the troops to resist desperately, preferring to die rather than give in. The Japanese army launched another organized attack, and due to the exhaustion of ammunition under General Zhu Chi's troops, our army's positions were completely destroyed. General Zhu Chi and all the officers and men died heroically and fought to the last moment of their lives. General Zhu Chi was only 33 years old when he died.

After the heroic sacrifice of General Zhu Chi and all the officers and soldiers, the Yuhuatai position also fell.

The enemy that General Zhu Chi faced in Yuhuatai was the 6th Division of the Japanese Army. The commander of his division was the notorious Gu Shoufu.

Zhu Chi turned his head and saw Zhao Xiaojun and the others, and was first taken aback by Serena's appearance as a foreigner, although he had already known that there were Westerners among the people who came, but he didn't expect what a beautiful lady it would be.

Recently, he was attracted by Zhao Xiaojun's complicated eyes, what kind of eyes were they: admiration, regret, and endless sadness.

Although Zhu Chi didn't understand the meaning of Zhao Xiaojun's eyes, he unconsciously felt a little close to Zhao Xiaojun in his heart.

In the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, why did the national army always lose repeatedly, Zhao Xiaojun felt that what General Zhang Zizhong said was very reasonable: "Do you know why the national army has been defeated repeatedly? It is because too many officers are greedy for life and afraid of death. ””
