While the two sides were in a stalemate, dozens of grenades suddenly rose from the alley near the T-junction, and then fell accurately on the rooftop of the villa occupied by the Japanese army at the T-junction. Moreover, these dozens of grenades exploded in the air, leaving no reaction time for the Japanese soldiers at all.

"Boom boom boom..." In the continuous violent explosions, the rooftop of the villa was completely covered by gunpowder smoke, and the pheasant neck and two grenade cans on it became silence in an instant.

"Brothers, follow me!" Xu Shijiu picked up a box cannon with his left and right hands, bent down and rushed towards the Japanese barricade two hundred meters away opposite. Scar and twenty veterans also leaned out from the corners, steps and door frames on both sides of the street, picked up Hanyang Zao with a bayonet, and bent down and rushed forward.

Almost at the same time, he led his men along Shanxi Road with his own hands.

When he found that he couldn't stand it, the Japanese did not show off and left a few bodies and immediately withdrew.

When he chased the T-junction, Xu Shijiu did not allow him to chase him because the Baoshan intersection was not far ahead. After a day of emergency reinforcement yesterday, the Japanese fortifications at the Baoshan intersection had been extremely tightly constructed, and even used thick steel plates to weld it into a semi-enclosed heavy machine gun fire nest. It was only in vain to rush forward.

After dispatching the post, Xu Shijiu led his men to Ai and the nearest route. When he saw the intersection between Haibao Road and Baoshan Road, he saw that the Japanese army built semi-closed machine gun nests at almost every intersection, and there were also armored vehicles patrolling back and forth along Baoshan Road. In addition, the commanding heights near almost every intersection were also seized by the Japanese army.

"Damn it, it's a big trouble now." Scar scratched his bald head and said to Xu Shijiu. "In just one day, Japan has built such a strict fortification. Not only did it weld the machine gun nest with steel plates, but it also occupied all the nearby commanding heights. If you attack hard now, I don't know how many people will die."

Xu Shijiu had a gloomy face and turned around and left.

Nanxiang Guyi Garden, Beijing-Shanghai Guard Command.

Tong Yuanliang hurried into the war room and reported to Zhang Zhizhong: "Commander, I just received the report. Bazi Bridge and North Railway Station have already caught fire with the Japanese army, and it is all the Japanese army's provocation first."

Zhang Zhizhong's slightly narrowed eyes suddenly opened and asked, "How is the winner?"

Tong Yuanliang said: "There were casualties on both sides of the Bazi Bridge, which was considered a draw. However, at the North Railway Station, our army won a small victory and killed six Japanese soldiers, but no casualties were found on our side."

"Is that? That can be regarded as a victory in the first battle, which greatly encouraged my morale!" Zhang Zhizhong smiled and nodded, and asked again, "Chief of Staff, the Wu Qiujian Group on the Bazi Bridge, and the North Railway Station on the Han Xianyuan Group, right? This kid is always in a daze in wars. Haha, this time I have to ask the commission for him to personally ask for me."

Tong Yuanliang said a little embarrassedly: "Commander, Han Xianyuantuan is indeed responsible for the line along the North Railway Station, but it was not Han Xianyuantuan who won the game today, but the 19th Independence Brigade of the Shanghai Security Corps stationed in the North Railway Station."

"Oh, a mere security team dares to fight against the Japanese army, and they still win a small victory?" Zhang Zhizhong was still excited when he heard this, and asked again, "It's interesting, whose unit is this 19th Brigade?"

Tong Yuanliang's expression became more and more awkward. He first drove out several combat staff in the war room, and then lowered his voice and said to Zhang Zhizhong: "Commander, this 19th Brigade is not an ordinary security team. Its backbone is all veterans of the 19th Route Army who participated in the 128th Shanghai War of Resistance."

"A veteran of the 19th Route Army?" Zhang Zhizhong's face suddenly became gloomy. A young, arrogant and stubborn figure also appeared in front of him at the same time. He said in a deep voice, "So, is Xu Hanhun's army?"

"That's right." Tong Yuanliang nodded and said again, "But he has changed his name to Xu Shijiu now."

"What did you say, Xu Shijiu?" Zhang Zhizhong frowned and said coldly, "This Nine-Life Cat, is he recruiting souls for the 19th Route Army? Arrogant, simply arrogant!"

Tong Yuanliang said: "Commander, do you still want to ask for merit from the superiors for him?"

"I'll ask for credit? If the commissioner knows that his name was changed by Xu Shijiu, I'm afraid I can't even save my life!" Zhang Zhizhong groaned, and then ordered again, "Let's do this, I'll give the 19th Brigade a commendation order in the name of the Beijing-Shanghai Security Command, and then give the 19th Brigade two thousand French coins. That's it."

#############

At noon that day, Zhu Xia, who returned to the headquarters to seek merit, returned to the 19th Brigade station with a commendation order. The Chief Secretary Cao hurriedly came forward, but found that the two thousand French coins had become five hundred yuan. He shouted: "Seat, didn't the superior say that he would reward us with two thousand French coins? Why is it only five hundred yuan?"

Zhu Xia looked embarrassed and didn't know how to explain it.

The Beijing-Shanghai Security Command did receive 2,000 French dollars, but most of the funds were intercepted for the Songhu Security Command and the General Regiment Headquarters. Only 500 French dollars were left when sent to the 19th Brigade. Yang Hu and Ji Zhangjian did not intend to deduct it, nor were they greedy, but the funds of the Shanghai Security Corps and the Shanghai Police Corps were indeed tight.

"Okay, it would be nice to have five hundred French coins left. According to the statistics of military achievements, let's share the brothers." Xu Shijiu didn't care much. In fact, he had been used to it for a long time. The 19th Brigade was raised by his stepmother in the Shanghai Security Corps. He had the worst weapons and equipment, and basically had no military pay. If it weren't for the tense situation, even the soldiers would not be able to make up for him.

"Ajiu, I hope you can understand Commander Yang, and he has difficulties..." Zhu Xia thought about it and wanted to explain.

"Okay, Lao Zhu, don't explain anymore. You have been treating me like this since you came to Shanghai. Have I ever complained?" Xu Shijiu smiled and said with a serious expression. "The same thing, brothers came to Shanghai to defend against Japan for the sake of the country and the nation, not for enjoying their happiness."

"Good brother." Zhu Xia patted Xu Shijiu on the shoulder and said no more.

As soon as Xu Shijiu turned around, he suddenly noticed that the family of three was still there in the morning, so he called Ergua to the front, pointed at the young student standing under Qingtian Bairi, and asked, "Ergua, why haven't he left yet?"

"Isn't that a thing?" Ergua said with a bitter face, "He has been standing like this since the morning."

The middle-aged couple came forward to Xu Shijiu again. Zhu Xia bowed repeatedly and said with guilt: "Two officers, I'm really sorry, I've caused you trouble."

Zhu Xia said: "Two old men, are this child stimulated something?"

"Oh, it's a sin." The middle-aged woman said in a crying voice, "This is all sin made by Japanese people."

The middle-aged man also wiped the tears from his eyes and said with a hint: "At the end of June, the school was just on summer vacation, and Song Zheyuan set up a student army training group and summoned more than 1,500 students to Nanyuan for military training. As a result, the Japanese came here after only a few days of training. Poor these children, they just received the gun the night before, and they had sex with the Japanese the next day..."

Speaking of this, the middle-aged man choked and couldn't continue talking. The middle-aged woman continued: "More than 1,500 children, all of them are college and middle school students. The oldest is only eighteen or nineteen years old, and the youngest is only fifteen or sixteen years old. How can he fight against Japanese soldiers? After one battle, six or seven lives. My fellow writers crawled out of the dead, and that's how it turned out."

Zhu Xia and Ergua turned their heads to look at the student, their eyes changed a little. They didn't expect that this stupid student child was also a "veteran" crawling out of the dead!

Xu Shijiu said: "If this is the case, maybe I can cure his aphrodisiac."

When the middle-aged woman heard this, she would kneel on the ground. Xu Shijiu quickly reached out to support her. The middle-aged woman struggled and wanted to kneel down to the ground. She cried and said in a panic: "Sir, if you can cure my family's Tongwen, then you are the great benefactor of our Lao Shu family. Please let me kowtow to you no matter what."

Although the middle-aged man next to him had no intention of kneeling down, he was also sighing.

"No, aunt, don't." Xu Shijiu supported the middle-aged woman and said, "If you kneel down again, I will ignore it."

The middle-aged woman stood up and Xu Shijiu said again: "Uncle, aunt, I have a soldier. When I went to the battlefield, I caught up with the bloody battle in Jiangwan. The Japanese bombarded the Japanese. Hundreds of people in their camp disappeared in the blink of an eye, and he was alive. After coming down, he became Ling Gongzi like this, and he didn't say a word for half a month."

"Later, what happened to the soldier later?" The middle-aged couple asked anxiously, Zhu Xia and Ergua also turned their attention to Xu Shijiu, eager to know the situation of the soldier later.

"Later, the temple shop fought again. He followed our company to detour the Japanese artillery positions behind the enemy. Looking at the flying flames and the cannon parts everywhere, the soldier was ready by himself, and he was still doing well until now." Xu Shijiu said this, then turned his head and shouted at the playground, "Crazy, Gao Madman!"

The madman Gao strode forward and stood up and said, "Yes!"

"The two old men are him." Xu Shijiu pointed at Gao Crazy and said, "That was the 21st year of the Republic of China, and it has been more than five years now."

The middle-aged couple looked at Gao Crazy Man and said with a hopeful look: "Sir, can my Tongwen's disease be cured?"

"There is a great hope to cure it." Xu Shijiu nodded and said, "But there is also danger, because I have to bring him to the battlefield. He was stimulated on the battlefield. If he wants to recover, he will still be able to think of his mistakes. However, on the battlefield, no one can absolutely guarantee his safety, so..."

The middle-aged woman was a little disappointed when she heard this, and hesitated not to know whether she should agree.

The middle-aged man sighed and said, "Tongwen is a soul that was lost on the battlefield, and only from the battlefield can he find his soul. Madam, let him stay."

"But Lao Shu, we only have one, if not..."

The middle-aged man wiped his tears and said sadly: "If you can't find your soul, Tongwen will die if you live. You don't want him to live in such a confused state, right?"

"Then..." the middle-aged woman told Xu Shijiu, "Sir, I'll give it to you by our family."

"It's causing trouble for the two commanders." The middle-aged man said, taking out the suitcase from the guard room, put it on the ground and opening it. He then took out a stack of legal coins from the bag on the lid of the box, and handed it to Xu Shijiu without counting it. "Sir, this is our little intention. Just treat it as supporting the War of Resistance. Please accept it no matter what."

Xu Shijiu wanted to refuse, but Zhu Xia said, "Ajiu, please accept it."

After saying that, Zhu Xia saluted the couple again and said solemnly: "Don't worry, two old men. With your desire to support the motherland's war of resistance, we will definitely protect Mr. Ling as much as possible."
