North Railway Station, 19th Brigade Station.

Zhu Xia took Xu Shijiu out of Guanyin Hall, and found a bun shop on the street to fill the stomach, so he rushed straight to the station. Sun Yuanliang had adopted Xu Shijiu's suggestion, and the North Railway Station would also become the main attack direction of the 88th Division tomorrow, so Xu Shijiu had a lot of preparations to do in advance, and he did not dare to delay for a moment.

The car turned on Xinmin Road and saw a large group of people gathering outside the gate of the station from afar.

With the dim street lights, you can vaguely see a slender figure standing on a table, waving his fists and giving a speech in an enthusiastic voice.

As the car approaches, the sound gradually becomes clearer.

"Students, the four eastern provinces have fallen, Pingjin has fallen, and now it is going to Shanghai again. If we don't rise up and fight, it will be our turn, our capital, Nanjing, tomorrow! The Chinese nation has reached its most critical moment. If you take a step back, the entire nation will fall into the abyss!

Students, we can’t be numb anymore. We have to fight back. We have to fight back!

Students, would you be a coward for the rest of your life, or a hero for only one day? Don’t hesitate anymore, pick up the steel gun, step onto the battlefield, and use our hot blood to tell the Japanese invaders that the blood of the Chinese is not cold, and what they will face is the revenge rage of one million, ten million or even ten million Chinese youths!

The power of one person is insignificant, but the power of one hundred people, one thousand people or even ten thousand people is unstoppable. Students, let us unite and go to the national crisis together, let us fight!" The young man raised his arms and roared loudly, and the emotions of the students in the audience were mobilized.

"Sir, please give me a gun, I will go to the battlefield with you to fight the Japanese!"

"Sir, please leave me behind. I have participated in military training at school. I can shoot!"

"Sir, let's stay too. We won't shoot, but we can rescue the wounded!"

Students at the scene rushed to the gate, and Shanghai citizens gathered near the gate to watch the fun also came forward, either putting their biscuits, cigarettes, coin and other condolences on the table, or stuffing money into the donation box. Many citizens volunteered to stay and organize a stretcher team to help lift the injured.

Zhu Xia parked the car on the side of the road and said in surprise: "Isn't this the student soldier from Peking? Is he okay?"

Xu Shijiu nodded and said, "That's right, this morning he smashed the head of a Japanese soldier with a broken brick. Once this psychological barrier passes, nothing will happen."

Zhu Xia nodded and frowned again, "But his style... could he be from there?"

Xu Shijiu didn't understand it all at once and asked in confusion: "People over there? Lao Zhu, where are you talking about?"

"You kid, don't pretend to be garlic with me." Zhu Xia said unhappily, "When you were in Fujian, your 19th Route Army had an involvement with that side. I can tell you, you kid must not be involved with that side."

Xu Shijiu was silent. He knew that Zhu Xia was referring to the Communist Party.

Xu Shijiu can't speak of good feelings, let alone bad feelings for the Communist Party.

While speaking, the officer-in-chief Cao had already led the student soldier up, and said to Xu Shijiu with a smile: "Captain, I really didn't realize that this kid is a talent. In just a while, he got us thousands of condolences. Hundreds of student children took the initiative to ask to join our 19th Brigade. Hehe, there are still many girls."

The student soldier also said, "Captain, give me two days, and I can call at least five hundred students to join the army."

Xu Shijiu glared at the student soldier coldly, then jumped onto the square wooden table that was temporarily used as a donation platform, and shouted to the group of male and female students who were trying to break into the 19th Brigade's resident: "Students, I am very moved by your enthusiasm. Your sincere heart to share the worries of the country and to overcome the national crisis together is even more admirable.

However, what I want to say is that resisting foreign humiliation is the responsibility of our soldiers. Unless all of us in the army are dead, it will never be your turn to go to the battlefield. Your responsibility is to study and read good books! When the War of Resistance Against Japan is victorious in the future, we will build our motherland into a prosperous and powerful new country.

So, you go back, I will never leave you!"

After saying that, Xu Shijiu jumped off the wooden table, separated the crowd and walked into the gate. The students crowded outside the gate begged, but Xu Shijiu was unmoved at all.

Although Xu Shijiu grew up in a military camp since he was young and never went to school seriously, he was not a rude person. He had even finished his college courses by himself. He knew very well what knowledgeable students mean to a nation. These students are the hope of the nation and the future of the country. How can they be consumed in vain on the cruel battlefield?

Let’s take a step back, even if these young students are sent to the battlefield, that is not the case now. If they are sent to the battlefield like this, they can play no greater role than an ordinary soldier. But if they are sent to the military academy for further studies and then to the battlefield, the role they can play will be magnified ten times or hundreds of times.

The students outside the gate were unwilling to disperse, and the student soldier Shu Tongwen caught up with Xu Shijiu and said anxiously: "Captain, just keep them. They don't want military pay, nothing. They only need a gun or a grenade. If they just want to fight the Japanese, let them follow you to fight the Japanese!"

The students outside the gate were clamoring again and were excited.

"This is impossible." Xu Shijiu refused flatly, staring at Shu Tongwen and said, "And you, you are fine now, so hurry up and leave here. Your parents live in a small hotel not far away."

"Don't interfere." Shu Tongwen became anxious as soon as he heard this, "I'm different from them..."

"It's all the same." Xu Shijiu refused coldly, "Go away quickly and respect your parents."

"Captain..." Shu Tongwen wanted to beg, but Xu Shijiu had already turned around and entered the door. Shu Tongwen turned his gaze for help to the officer elder Cao. Lao Cao was also helpless and spread his hands. Shu Tongwen's face collapsed. He originally wanted to expand some troops to the 19th Brigade, but he kicked himself out.

On the playground of the resident, dozens of veterans from the 19th Brigade were surrounding two 20mm machine guns and the 37mm war defense guns, one by one, one by one, one by one, and one by one, and one by one, looking at them, as if they were not touching an iron lump under their palms, but a beautiful woman with a beautiful beauty.

Scar, one hand, Xie Gouzi and Gao Crazy Man are also among them.

"Dead shovel, this thing will be my own from now on, and no one is allowed to rob me." Xie Gouzi closed one eye and looked in the gun mouth of the war defense cannon, saying, "I haven't touched the cannon for many years. This time I can finally get back to the artillery's old job, hehe, it's satisfying."

Ergua said with admiration: "Brother Gouzi, have you ever worked as an artillery?"

"You listen to him bragging around." Gao Caizi mercilessly exposed his shortcomings, "Yes, he had fired cannons back then, but he was just a kind of old cannons seized from the bandit's den, and used wooden bandages."

Xie Gouzi glared at him and said unhappily: "Who said that I have never shot the Eastern Cannon?"

"You're so embarrassed to say this?" Gao Caizi said, "That time I finally seized a few oriental cannons. I originally pointed out that you could fight me, but I would do my best to do it..."

Xie Gouzi said angrily: "Crazy, didn't you agree not to mention this matter?"

Gao Crazy Man laughed and said, "Okay, then I'll give you some face."

Ergua and a few new recruits still wanted to ask, but finally didn't dare to do anything.

Scar and the one hand ignored the two of them quarreling there. Their attention was focused on the two 20mm machine guns. As veterans who participated in the 128th Shanghai War and had seen the might of the Japanese 20mm machine guns, they dreamed of owning this small cannon, and today they finally had a dream come true.

Scar, who had just signed a division agreement with his own hand, sighed: "If we say that our captain is capable, such a hard guy can be snatched from the Central Army. Those bastards of the 1st and 2nd regiments know that they are not jealous of them? Now our 19th brigade is so rich. Looking at the Shanghai Security Corps, who dares to compete with us?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a cold voice suddenly sounded behind everyone: "With a hard guy, you have to be able to fight tough battles, otherwise I would be sorry for the good intentions of the Central Army."

Everyone looked back in a hurry, but it was Xu Shijiu.

"Captain, are you back?" Everyone hurried forward to salute.

Xu Shijiu said to Scar: "Old Dao, why are you back?"

Scar hurriedly said: "Captain, don't worry, Aaron is staring at the intersection of Baoshan Road, and it will be impossible to make a mistake."

Xu Shijiu nodded and said, "Old knife, old man and dog, you all come with me."

He brought a few backbones into the brigade headquarters and waited for everyone to sit around a long table. Xu Shijiu said again: "I just said that if you have a tough guy, you have to fight a tough battle, otherwise you will be sorry for the good intentions of the Central Army brothers.

Tomorrow, let the little Japanese taste the methods of our 19th brigade, but we can't let the little Japanese calm tonight. Lao Dao, Lao Du, dog and madman, you bring a small number of elite veterans and divide the troops into four groups to have some fun for the little Japanese. Remember not to fight, the main task is to understand the Japanese firepower arrangement."

After seeing off the four generals, Xu Shijiu said to Zhu Xia again: "Old Zhu, please give me the ladder."
