Xu Shijiu pointed at the scars on his body, and every time he said something, the defeated soldiers under the stage would tremble. In the end, the eyes of more than a thousand defeated soldiers looking at Xu Shijiu changed. There were many officers and soldiers in the national army who were not afraid of death, and many were injured. However, few officers and soldiers like Xu Shijiu who had been seriously injured so many times but were still alive.

"There's still here!" Xu Shijiu stretched out his finger and pointed to his forehead. His tone was calm but suffocating solemn. "It was still the 28th Shanghai Anti-Japanese War. In the temple alley, when fighting for bayonets, Lao Wuzi asked Xiao Ribeien to attack the turtle box of an officer. Until now, the bullets are still left in his head. Maybe one day I will fall down and see the King of Hell."

After covering her shirt again, Xu Shijiu pointed to the defeated soldiers who had just boasted that she had been injured and said sternly: "If you want to say that you are injured, Lao Wuzi has more than any of you, but has Lao Wuzi said something? If you want to say that you have made me credit and hard work, Lao Wuzi has been in the army since he was sixteen. In eleven years, he has fought more than a hundred big or small. Can you compare with me? But has Lao Wuzi said something?"

The defeated soldiers pointed at by Xu Shijiu was ashamed of shame, and many of the defeated soldiers also lowered their heads.

"Yes, the commander-in-chief, commander, division commander, brigade and commander all ran away, but they were their business, and whether we were running or not was our own business!" Xu Shijiu patted his chest hard and shouted loudly, "Being a person must be based on conscience, and doing things must be asked to be the original intention. When we serve as soldiers and eat food, should we fight for the people?!"

"Should!"

"Should!"

"Should!"

The number of veterans in the forty-seven guards around them had already heard Maodan trembled, and they couldn't help but roared, and many veterans even yelled: "Captain, we can't control what others are doing. At least the people in our 19th Brigade will not be deserters! There is no coward in our 19th Brigade!"

"Well said, our 19th Brigade will never be a deserter!" Xu Shijiu turned around, his cold gaze turned to the defeated soldiers again, and shouted, "I don't care if your commander is to be a deserter, and I don't want to care, but I hope you don't want to be a deserter, and I hope you can be a soldier."

Xu Shijiu pulled out the box cannon, opened the nose of the machine again, and said sternly: "The large army of Xiaoji Wuben has arrived outside the city. Qingpu will soon be trapped in a heavy siege. Those who are not afraid of death will stay with me, defend Qingpu to the death, cover the main force to retreat westward, and cover the people of Shanghai to retreat to the rear. Those who are afraid of death can leave now."

The defeated soldiers raised their heads one after another, and their eyes showed a look of struggle.

As long as they are humans, they will struggle. Seeing that they have the chance to escape, they have to stay and fight with the Japanese army. It is not easy to make such a decision. The scars on Xu Shijiu and the oaths of the officers and soldiers of the 19th Brigade did cause great shock to them, but it is still difficult to give up the opportunity to reunite with their families alive.

Of course, Xu Shijiu could see the struggle of the defeated soldiers and said solemnly: "You can leave, but I must remind you that once you leave, once Qingpu County is lost, the entire battlefield situation will be doomed. If the more than 500,000 national troops on the Songhu battlefield are finished, no one will protect your relatives."

"You must understand that you are not fighting for others, not for the escaped commanders, nor for the so-called leaders, but for yourself, for your parents, wives and children. Today, you have chosen to escape here, so tomorrow, when your hometown is invaded by Japanese invaders, others will also choose to escape."

"No one will force you to stay or not, but I hope you can face your true heart."

"Of course, I can't and don't want to deceive you. This battle will be tragic. There are tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers outside the city, including tanks and cannons. The weather will improve tomorrow, and there will be planes to bomb. Many people will be killed in battle, and even... all the members will die in battle! But what Lao Wuzi wants to say is that even if they die, Lao Wuzi will have to die like a soldier and a man!"

After saying this, the defeated soldiers under the stage finally responded. The defeated soldiers who had just boasted about fighting for the bayonets of nine times, looked up at Xu Shijiu on the stage and shouted: "Sir, you have said this. If I still want to escape, I will not even forget about it. In a word, as long as you don't escape, my life is here."

"Son of the Turtle, since he came out of Sichuan, Lao Wuzi has never thought about going back alive, so he has to do it."

"I'm holding the saw, it makes me seem like you Sichuan guys aren't afraid of death? We Guangdong guys aren't afraid of death either."

"A slutty thing, Lao Wuzi ran from the northeast to the northwest, then from the northwest to North China, then from North China to East China, and now he ran again. Lao Wuzi really has enough of his mother and has fought with dogs."

"I'm the one who counts me, I won't run away."

"Damn Longpi, die if you die, be afraid of a bird?"

Different accents, from different regions, and different troops, exuded the same emotion. Inadvertently, the blood that had already cooled seemed to boil again, and the fighting spirit that had already lost seemed to be back on his body. Looking at the defeated soldiers who gradually became angry under the stage, Xu Shijiu finally smiled.

In Sheshan Town, the 6th Division Command of the Japanese Army has moved back to the open area next to Songjia Highway. Several reconnaissance teams sent by Inoue Brigade have also returned. What surprised Tani Shouo, the old Japanese devil, was that there was no established Chinese army near Sheshan Town. There were groups of defeated soldiers one after another.

The news reported by the Sakai Detachment was not very good. There were no established national troops around Qingpu County. Only near the city walls were there, but the number was not large. The total number of national troops was only three or five hundred. Not to mention two divisions, neither battalion was available.

When the rangers who were reconnaissance along Songjia Highway in the north and south directions came back, the situation was even more wrong. Neither the Kuomintang army went south along Songjia Highway along Songjia Highway, nor did the Kuomintang army went south from Qingpu to Songjiang along Songjia Highway. The two military advisors mentioned in the telegram disappeared like air.

However, many Nakamura brigade's defeated soldiers fled back and reported a shocking news to Tani Shouo. It turned out that the Nakamura brigade was ambushed and destroyed by the Chinese army in the middle of the night. Moreover, there were not many Chinese troops ambushing the Nakamura brigade, and at most one regiment was about 2,000 people, which was far from the strength of the two divisions.

Tanisuo and Shinoko looked at each other and felt something was wrong.

"Second Commander, it seems we were fooled!" Shinono Kazuho said with gritted teeth, "The telegram we intercepted in the morning was probably intentionally distributed by the Chinese army, and the purpose was to lure us to withdraw the Sakai Detachment from Kunshan! Bageyaru, these cunning Chinese people, we were fooled, we were fooled!"

Gu Shoufu looked gloomy and said nothing, he thought more.

"Second Commander..." Shimoya Kazuki wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Tani Suzuo waved his hand.

Staring at the map, Tani Shouo said: "Sushinosan, this time we met a powerful character. Look, this person did not rest after ambushing the Nakamura brigade, but went south to Sheshan and attacked the division headquarters. Not only did the defeated soldiers of the Nakamura brigade not have time to escape back to report the news, but also made us lose control of the Qingpu situation.

Immediately afterwards, this person sent another telegram, ordering the troops to defend Qingpu, and ordering the troops to attack Songjiang, and putting heavy troops to gather in Qingpu, vowing to tear the gap from Songjiang and reopen the Shanghai-Hangzhou Railway and the Shanghai-Hangzhou Highway, thus forcing us to transfer the nearest Sakai Detachment back to Qingpu from Kunshan.

This link is a step by step, and the calculation is very thorough. If the Chinese army heading south to Qingpu really has only one regiment and less than two thousand people, then I would like to meet the Chinese commander. If possible, it would be better to capture this person alive. This person's tactical command ability and ability to grasp the fighter jet is indeed very extraordinary."

"Hmph, he is just not lucky." Shinono Ichiho said a little dissatisfied, "If it weren't for the rain and foggy days, our aviation reconnaissance planes could not be dispatched, how could the Chinese army's tricks be hidden from us?"

"Otherwise." Tani Shouo waved his hand and said disapprovingly, "With this person's calculation ability, how can he not take the battlefield reconnaissance of the Imperial Army's aviation army into account? If the weather is clear, the other party must have other arrangements, and he can also hide the sight of the aviation reconnaissance. After all, air reconnaissance is not as good as ground reconnaissance, right?"

Shirō Ichiho said without comment, "Second Commander, since the China Army in Qingpu is bluffing, its real force is less than two thousand people, then leaving two infantry brigades, one artillery squadron, and at most a chariot squadron is enough to deal with it. Should we transfer the main force of the Sakai Detachment to Kunshan?"

"Forget it, there are Nakajima Division and Mosong Division ahead. The Chinese army can pass Kunshan and Taihu Lake!" Tani Shoufu waved his hand and said, "Let the Sakai Detachment solve the Chinese army in Qingpu City as soon as possible. Although the Chinese army has not many troops, its combat effectiveness is quite strong. Their commanders should not underestimate them. If they don't solve these Chinese army, there may be something wrong with the Imperial Army's logistics supply line."

Not long after Kunshan and Sakai detachments retreated, the defeated soldiers retreating from Nanxiang, Beixinjing, Nanshi and Pudong were like a tide of ebbing tide. Along the Shanghai-Kunming Highway, the Shanghai-Kunming Railway rushed in. The black crowds were crowded with horses, cattle, horses, mule carts and cars on the road, and horses neighed and people were roaring. How could a word of chaos be described?

Looking at the rushing craze of defeated soldiers on the road, Xue Yue was already in tears.

No matter what, Kunshan, a gateway that affects the life and death of more than 500,000 troops, was not lost in his hands, Xue Yue. He is worthy of the party and the country and the chairman.

Of course, Xue Yue did not take it lightly because the Japanese army suddenly retreated. Taking advantage of this precious gap, Xue Yue had moved his 19th Army headquarters to Kunshan, and also contacted more than a dozen troops and division commanders under his command, organized two incomplete divisions to leave the Qingkun Highway, and even blew up the Shipu Bridge.

Nanjing, commander-in-chief.

Although he didn't sleep all night, Chairman Jiang was in good spirits. No matter what, Kunshan's last life passage was always saved. Of course, even though Kunshan was saved, the more than 500,000 troops of more than 80 divisions retreated from the Songhu battlefield were still not out of danger, because the Japanese army had already run to the front of the national army.

Pingwang to the south and Changshu to the north have already discovered the Japanese army. The intention of these two Japanese troops is very obvious, which is to capture Suzhou in front of the national army and block the national army's retreat passage again! In addition, there are also Japanese troops advancing westward through the Yangtze River, and the other Japanese troops attack Nanxun through Jiaxing, and their troops are directly aimed at Nanjing!

In other words, if the Japanese army rush to capture Suzhou in front of the national army, or the main force of the 10th Army, which detours south of Taihu Lake, takes the lead in occupying Wuhu, and then crosses the river north to capture Pukou, and completes a strategic detour, then the more than 500,000 troops of more than 80 divisions retreated from the Songhu battlefield will still be surrounded by the Japanese army near Nanjing.

The only thing that deserves luck is that this situation will not happen immediately.

Chairman Jiang is now more concerned about the reasons why the Japanese troops in Kunshan suddenly withdrew.

Liu Fei and the senior leaders of the commander-in-chief agreed that the reason for the sudden retreat of the Japanese army in Kunshan was the telegram of unknown origin, because the telegram pretended to be the commander of the 74th Army, Yu Jishi, and Master Feng Sheng issued an order to attack Songjiang. The Japanese army was probably misled if they knew it.
