Chapter 80 We Are the National Army

Seeing Gao Shenxing walking in quickly, Xu Shijiu smiled.

"Never abandon." Xu Shijiu stretched out his right fist weakly.

"Never give up." Gao Shenxing then stretched out his right fist and collided gently with Xu Shijiu.

The two of them clenched their fists at the same time and clenched each other tightly.

Li Ping, who was standing next to her, suddenly had a strong urge to cry. Although these two men only said two short sentences, the brotherly feelings that came out of their bones were so deep. Li Ping had no doubt that they could definitely block bullets for each other when necessary.

"Captain, how do you feel?" Gao Shenxing asked with concern again.

Xu Shijiu said: "I'm fine anymore, I just want to eat something."

Speaking of which, Xu Shijiu has been in a coma in bed for half a month, and has been maintaining it by infusion of nutrient solution for the past half month, but his stomach and intestines have long been empty. When he wakes up, he will of course be hungry.

Dr. Haneda, who was standing next to him, could already understand part of Chinese and said to Gao Shenxing: "Mr. Gao, Mr. Xu has been in a coma for too long and his gastrointestinal function has been severely degraded, so he can only drink some porridge oil at most, which is rice soup. It is strictly forbidden to get meat and fish for at least one week."

Gao Shenxing nodded and smiled bitterly at Xu Shijiu: "Captain, you may only be able to order rice soup now."

As soon as he finished speaking, He Keqi and Hu Zhijing had already walked in. He Keqi immediately ordered Li Ping, "Xiao Li, hurry up and go to the kitchen and let Lao Cui cook some rice soup."

Li Ping auds and went there quickly.

Xu Shijiu's eyes turned to He, Hu and the other two, He Keqi walked up to Xu Shijiu with his fist and said hello to Xu Shijiu: "Captain Xu, I have been waiting for you for a long time. If you don't wake up, I plan to lead troops to the King of Hell to tie people."

Xu Shijiu couldn't help but be happy, and He Keqi laughed, and the atmosphere suddenly became warm.

Gao Shenxing also introduced He, and Hu and the others introduced him to Xu Shijiu. Xu Shijiu signaled Gao Shenxing to help him up, then raised his right hand to He. Hu and the other two saluted him, saying, "I dare not thank you for your kindness. Please accept the next military salute."

He Keqi quickly returned the gift, but Hu Zhijing said, "Captain Xu is now out of here. Now our Kuomintang and the Communist Party are already a family. It is worth helping each other. No need to thank you. Maybe one day, Lao He and I will be hunted down by the little Japanese. If Captain Xu meets him, I am afraid he will not stand by, right?"

Xu Shijiu Surong replied: "That's natural."

"I heard that Captain Xu was born in the 19th Route Army?" Hu Zhijing took the opportunity to test it out, "Speaking of this, our Communist Party still has a deep connection with your 19th Route Army. Back then, it was because the officers and soldiers of the 19th Route Army were unwilling to fight with the Red Army, and they finally revolted in anger..."

Xu Shijiu said, "Mr. Hu, I won't talk about what happened back then, okay?"

Regarding the Fujian Rebellion in the Republic of China, Xu Shijiu was actually opposed. He believed that soldiers were soldiers and should not be involved in political games. In the end, the 19th Route Army was dismembered because of Chen Mingshu's independent ambition. Xu Shijiu and more than 100 disabled soldiers also fell into the Shanghai beach. Xu Shijiu resented Zhang Zhizhong, who dismembered the 19th Route Army with one hand, and resented Chiang Kai-shek. In fact, why did he resent Chen Mingshu, who was awesome?

Therefore, Xu Shijiu had no fondness for the Fujian Incident that year.

Hu Zhijing was a little embarrassed and said to He Keqi: "Captain Xu just woke up and his body was still weak. Why don't we come to visit again another day?"

He Keqi had already seen that Hu Zhijing and Xu Shijiu were not prone to the point, so he stood up to say goodbye.

When Hu and the other two left, Gao Shenxing said to Xu Shijiu: "Captain, Mr. Hu actually has no malicious intentions..."

"Of course he has no malice." Xu Shijiu interrupted Gao Shenxing, and then continued, "He just wanted to lobby us to leave the national army and join the Communist army."

Gao Shenxing smiled and said, "Captain, do you see it?"

Xu Shijiu also smiled: "I can see that you have been reddened."

"That's not." Gao Shenxing shook his head, then pondered, "But Captain, I'll say a conscience. Staying in the National Army is just two words, but staying in the frustrated place is still two words, open and bright."

Xu Shijiu frowned slightly and asked, "How do you say this?"

Gao Shenxing said, "First talk about the national army. Our 19th Brigade has gone from Hongkou to Wusong, from Wusong to Luodian, from Luodian to Qingpu, and from Qingpu to Niushou Mountain. Have we ever won a real victory? Even if there are occasional small victories, the next one will be a miserable defeat, a miserable defeat, and another miserable defeat. We will lose again and again until the city of Nanjing is lost. The officers and soldiers of the 19th Brigade have been replaced one after another. Have we ever won a real victory?"

Xu Shijiu opened his mouth to defend himself, but was interrupted by Gao Shenxing.

Gao Shenxing continued, "Captain, you may say that this is not that our 19th brigade will not win the battle, but because of the blind command of the top peak, which is forced by the situation. This is exactly what makes me feel most aggrieved. No matter whether it is the Battle of Shanghai or the Battle of Nanjing, even the blind army who does not know how to fight, but what about Chairman Jiang? He insisted on twisting it, so every time he fights to the end, it is a result that is too bad to be worse."

Xu Shijiu was speechless because all Gao Shenxing said were indisputable facts.

Chiang Kai-shek may be a top expert in political power, otherwise he would not have stood out from so many party bosses and local warlords to become the supreme leader of the central government, but he is a very bad commander in military terms. In the Battle of Shanghai and the Battle of Nanjing, no matter who becomes the leader, he will probably not be worse than Chiang Kai-shek.

Of course, most of the commander of the army, the commander of the army, and senior generals at the level of the army commander performed poorly.

These senior generals were more than enough to fight against the Beiyang Army and local warlords, but this did not mean that their command ability was superb, but because the Beiyang Army and the local army were even worse, so when they faced the senior Japanese generals, they were immediately beaten to the point where they could not find the North.

Gao Shenxing continued: "Captain, although you have never been to the military academy, I can see that you are a competent commander. In terms of your ability to lead troops to fight, few senior generals from the Whampoa Military Academy and the Army University can compare with you, but have you ever won a real victory from Songhu to Nanjing?

Xu Shijiu wanted to refute it, but in the end he couldn't say a word.

From Songhu to Nanjing, the 19th Brigade has experienced several bloody battles and fierce battles. The number of enemies killed cannot be considered small, and the total number is at least more than one thousand people. The friendly troops next to them, not to mention battalion-level units, even regiment-level units rarely have such brilliant achievements. However, while killing a large number of enemies, the 19th Brigade itself has greater casualties.

A brigade with a regular staff of only 500 people has been killed in more than 2,000 people.

Two thousand for one thousand can only be said to be tragic at most, and even a miserable victory cannot be enough.

"No, not once." Gao Shenxing shook his head miserably and continued, "It's not that you can't win battles, but that someone doesn't let you go every battle. Don't you feel like you're bound by someone?"

Gao Shenxing said this to the point. Every time he fought, Xu Shijiu not only felt like he was tied up, but also the feeling was very, very strong. Whether it was the Battle of Shanghai or the Battle of Nanjing, the 19th Brigade was like a puppet held by someone. He could only passively run from one battlefield to another battlefield, from one defeat to another. Xu Shijiu really wanted to get rid of this kind of constraint, but he could do nothing.

Xu Shijiu could only agree with Gao Shenxing's words and sighed: "It's really awkward to let you say this."

Gao Shenxing did not feel any pleasure because he persuaded Xu Shijiu and sighed: "Captain, the worst result you can think of every time is the final choice of the corpse-positioned diners above, especially Chairman Jiang. It makes people have nothing to say. I feel that the Kuomintang army is gradually dying, this is a desperate army."

Xu Shijiu asked: "What about the Communist Army? Don't they also belong to the battle sequence of the National Army now?"

"The Communist army is different, completely different." Gao Shenxing shook his head, "Although they have accepted the reorganization of the National Government and belong to the battle sequence of the National Army, they will never blindly follow the National Government, especially not taking Chairman Chiang's blind command seriously. You don't know the captain, their military chief has great right to self-determination."

"Is this possible?" Xu Shijiu said in a daze, "The Communist Army also has superiors?"

Gao Shenxing said: "Of course, the Communist army has superiors, but firstly, their communication methods are backward, and it is not realistic to ask superiors for instructions in everything. Secondly, the Communist army pursues an independent combat strategy. As long as he thinks it is necessary, he can take decisive action, such as this "hei Keqi."

Gao Shenxing first talked about He Keqi and the Japanese army's revenge yesterday, and finally said: "Although I have not been together with the guerrillas for a long time, I can see that this is an ideal and faith-based army. They believe that they will definitely defeat the invaders and believe that they will be better in the future. They even believe that they can win the whole of China in the future."

After a pause, Gao Shenxing emphasized again: "Their equipment is very poor, but their tactics are flexible. They will never fight hard. If they can fight, they will fight, and if they can't fight, they will retreat. Moreover, there are no incompetent superiors who provide blind commands on their military operations. In short, this is an energetic army, an army full of hope."

Xu Shijiu said thoughtfully: "So you think it's open to stay here?"

"Yes, I feel it's open to stay here." Gao Shenxing said his deepest words without hesitation, but he immediately said, "But Captain, I am always a soldier of the 19th Brigade, and I will never do anything to abandon my brothers and give up my brothers, so I will listen to you when I stay or leave."
