Chapter 2 The National Army is Back
While the two were talking, a ball of black things suddenly threw them into the car window.
Feng Shengfa and Zhang Boting are both Whampoa Military Academy students. Their years of military career have cultivated their agile reactions. Before the things that flew into the window fell, the two of them dodged left and right. While Feng Shengfa took out his pistol, he even kicked the suspicious item into the uninhabited aisle.
"Puff." The suspicious item hit the car door and fell to the ground.
There was no blue smoke coming out, nor did the explosion. When the two of them looked closely, they found that this was not an explosive, it was clearly a canned beef imported from the United States.
Feng Shengfa and Zhang Boting looked at each other.
At this time, cheers suddenly sounded outside the window.
At the other end of the carriage, Sun Yuanliang, who was being interviewed, suddenly got rid of the entanglement of the reporter, strode to the window, waved to the window with a smile, and photographed the camera lens at the window and took photos. At the same time, a large number of cans, towels, cigarettes and biscuits were thrown in from the window like raindrops.
Feng Shengfa, Zhang Boting put away his gun and stood in front of the window again, and then saw a scene that he would never forget for his life.
At this time, the train had entered Nanxiang Town, the western suburbs of Shanghai, and was slowly driving into Zhenru Railway Station. Groups of Shanghai citizens were following the train, and more people were flocking from afar.
In the crowd were old people with gray hair, children with schoolbags, decent people in suits, and more were loaders and unloaders in gray-clad work clothes. But without exception, everyone's faces were filled with surprises, which was the real surprise from the heart. When they were back, the Guojun was back!
After five years of separation, the Kuomintang finally returned to Shanghai!
The Kuomintang army is back, and the humiliating days of being bullied by the Japanese are finally gone forever!
Looking at the fully armed and energetic soldiers of the National Army in the carriage, the citizens ran around and cheered. The workers threw new towels they couldn't bear to use and good cigarettes they couldn't bear to smoke into the carriage. The children threw biscuits they had hidden in their schoolbags into the carriage. Several merchants even opened the whole box of canned beef and threw them into the carriage.
Feng Shengfa held a towel in his left hand and a canned food in his right hand. Looking at the excited citizens outside the window, he couldn't help but burst into tears. Yuhan choked and said, "I feel guilty about it, but I feel guilty about it..."

It was not until the evening that Xu Shijiu finally returned to the station.
The playground was silent, but the bungalow on the west side was brightly lit. The group members who had been training for a whole day were practicing calligraphy under the supervision of the instructor. This is a major feature of the Independent 19th Brigade. All group members not only had to practice military skills, but also had to read and recognize calligraphy before turning off the lights at night to bed.
After walking around the classrooms, Xu Shijiu went straight back to the brigade headquarters. However, as soon as he entered the door, Xu Shijiu found that the atmosphere in the brigade headquarters was a bit strange. The several brigade soldiers who stood up to salute were stiff. The scars that had been slipped away had already been there, and they were all there, and they kept squeezing at him.
"Old Dao, what's wrong with you guys?" Xu Shijiu said in confusion, "My mouth is cramped?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a roar suddenly came from the inner office: "Xu Shijiu, get in!"
"Chief of Staff?" Xu Shijiu was shocked and rushed into the inner room and said, "Why are you here?"
He watched Xu Shijiu hurried into the inner office, and the scar, the one-eyed dragon sighed together, and then fled from the brigade headquarters as if flying.
Xu Shijiu walked into the office quickly and saw Zhu Xia, the chief of staff of the Songhu Security Command, sitting in his seat with anger. Seeing Xu Shijiu coming in as if nothing had happened, Zhu Xia was furious. In addition, the relationship between the two was very good, so he stared at Xu Shijiu and cursed: "You kid are really ungrateful, do you know that I have found you for an afternoon?"
"Look for me?" Xu Shijiu laughed, "I am not the eldest daughter of Huanghua, why are you looking for me?"
"I'm still poor?" Zhu Xia pointed at Xu Shijiu and then cursed, "Zhongshan Hospital and the Big World can't find you. I finally contacted the 88th Division headquarters and said I didn't see you. Everyone thought you had asked the Japanese to kidnap the vote. Commander Yang was so anxious that he almost mobilized his guard to Hongkou to compete with the Japanese. Humph."
"The Japanese tied my ticket?" Xu Shijiu curled his lips and said disdainfully, "It's almost the same for me to tie them up."
"You kid, don't be crazy." Zhu Xia said, "This time, the Japanese are really anxious. They should try to minimize going out as much as possible if they have nothing to do in the future. The commander said, especially you, Xu Shijiu, are strictly prohibited from going out from today!"
"No, I have to talk to the commander about this. Shanghai is our territory in China, and can it still scare the Japanese?" Xu Shijiu said that, and then rushed forward to copy the phone, but Zhu Xia held it down.
"Okay, the commander is negotiating with the Japanese at this time. Why are you causing trouble at this time? Your affairs have not been explained yet." Zhu Xia said this and said, "Say, what have you done in the afternoon?"
"What are you doing?" Xu Shijiu spread his hands and said indifferently, "I went to meet an elder with Jiaxi."
"What, I've seen elders, have you done that?" Zhu Xia was immediately excited when he heard this. Yu Jiaxi had seen him, and he was a good girl, but he immediately realized that it was not the time to say this. After such a interruption, the anger in his chest was gone. He coughed dryly and said angrily, "You kid, do you know that something big happened in the afternoon?"
"What a big deal." Xu Shijiu said disapprovingly, "The four eastern provinces fell and North China was a mess again. Seeing that the sky of the National Government had collapsed halfway, Mr. Jiang still dared not declare war with Japan, and was still pretending to be pitiful to gain sympathy from the West. The situation was so unbearable, what more amazing thing could there be?"
"Ajiu, don't criticize the leader behind his back!" Zhu Xia frowned and changed the topic, "This afternoon, the gendarmerie of the 20th Independent Brigade killed two Japanese soldiers at the gate of Hongqiao Airport. According to investigation, these are two non-commissioned officers of the Japanese Navy's Special Marine Corps stationed in Shanghai. The situation in Shanghai may be out of control at any time. The commander asked your headquarters to prepare."
Xu Shijiu said: "Our 19th Brigade has been ready long ago and can launch an attack on Hongkou at any time."
"I'm not referring to this." Zhu Xia waved his hand and said with a serious expression. "The old brothers of the 19th Brigade are nothing, but the newly recruited brothers were mostly locals. Their families must evacuate Shanghai immediately. In addition, all the staff have written suicide notes. Once the battle starts, everyone may sacrifice their lives for the country at any time. They must leave some thoughts for their families."
"Removing the family and writing a suicide note?" Xu Shijiu immediately became alert when he heard this and said in a deep voice, "Want to take serious action this time?"
Zhu Xia nodded and said with a serious expression: "Ajiu, let me tell you this, the opinions of the senior government officials have become increasingly united. It is no longer a suspense to fight a war with the Japanese in the Songhu area. The remaining suspense is when will the war start with the Japanese? But this matter will probably be soon, maybe tomorrow."
Seeing Xu Shijiu silently, Zhu Xia continued to ask, "Why are you unhappy? Haven't you been looking forward to the day of war with the Japanese?"
Xu Shijiu shook his head and asked, "Do you know the specific plan and what scale the battle is going to?"
Seeing that there was no one around, Zhu Xia lowered his voice and said, "I have a classmate in the Ministry of Military Affairs. My classmate said that the leader had adopted the suggestion of Deputy Chief Chen Cheng and decided to fight with the Japanese army in Songhu to attract the main force of the Japanese army in North China to East China, and then use the dense water network in East China and the national defense lines of Wu Fu, Xicheng and Jiazha to continue to consume the Japanese army."
Xu Shijiu nodded slightly and said, "Chen Cheng is a visionary. He knows that the plain terrain of North China is beneficial to the Japanese mechanized troops, but East China is not conducive to the maneuver of the Japanese mechanized equipment. Therefore, it is correct to fight the Japanese army in East China. I am afraid that as soon as the battle starts, Mr. Jiang's mind is hot and he is almost effective in fighting the Japanese army in Shanghai..."
"Xu Shijiu!" Zhu Xiahuo said, "How many times have you told me, don't criticize the leader behind your back!"
"Okay, I won't say it, I won't say it." Xu Shijiu smiled bitterly and shook his head, unable to help but say again, "But remember what I said today, let's see if I have a correct judgment or not?"
"You still said it!" Zhu Xia was so angry that he grabbed the two books in front of him and smashed them over.
Xu Shijiu reached out to catch it, and his eyes shone casually for a while, suppressing his excitement: "Japanese infantry training? And the infantry and artillery coordination course at the Japanese Army University?"
"I know you like to study the Japanese army, so I found it for you." Zhu Xia pointed at Xu Shijiu and said angrily, "Do you know how much trouble I have spent on these two broken books? But what about you? I didn't tell you that I was so fucked up in the afternoon, and I'll make it difficult for me. No, I have to beat you up today."
As he said that, Zhu Xia picked up the thin bamboo pole placed on the map rack and made a gesture to beat him.
"Chief of Staff, you are just your little body, I am not underestimating you." Xu Shijiu opened the Japanese infantry Cao Dian and sneered while looking, "It's not worth a discount on a bamboo pole, but don't hurt you, hehe."
"You boy!" Zhu Xia looked at Xu Shijiu's tall and strong body, put the thin bamboo pole back on the map frame, and then took out the Browning pistol from the holster, and acted to turn on the insurance, "I can't kill you, I will kill you, and I will shoot you now."
