Chapter 39 Cannon Fodder

Lu Jian Gang was pacing back and forth in the command center of the 19th Brigade with a huge face.

Mou Enguang was dizzy by Lu Jian Gang and said angrily: "I said Lao Lu, can't you sit down?"

"What are you sitting? I can't sit there." Lu Jian Gang cursed and said, "Damn it, it's getting dark. It seems that our 19th Brigade is not going to be done today." Seeing the brothers at the hourglass, Gao Shanzing and Little Japan fighting desperately, the 19th Brigade was on standby in Hengluping. The impatient Lu Jian Gang could no longer hold back.

Gao Shenxing, who was working on the gun, suddenly raised his head and stared at Lu Jianbang and asked coldly: "Do you just want to be cannon fodder?"

When Lu Jian Gang heard this, he was stunned. He faced Gao Shenxing's cold eyes and didn't know what to do. Hu Jie, Li Zihan, Mou Enguang and Hei Xiaozi were even surprised. He was obviously shocked by Gao Shenxing's words. Only Xu Shijiu looked at Gao Shenxing expressionlessly, and didn't know what he was thinking.

Gao Shenxing said that the 19th Brigade was cannon fodder, but it was not the first time.

As early as after the 19th Brigade retreated from Niu Shidun and did not give any rewards on the Shangfeng, Gao Shenxing began to repeatedly say in front of Xu Shijiu that the 19th Brigade was a group of cannon fodder, and when the superiors were going to hire people, he remembered that there was no need to hire people. The 19th Brigade was immediately kicked aside and ignored them.

However, in the past, Gao Shenxing only complained to Xu Shijiu in private, but today it finally made it public.

After a while, the Lu Jian Gang finally reacted, looked at Gao Shenxing in surprise, and frowned and said, "When is it now? Lao Gao, why are you still talking strange things behind your back?"

"Am I talking strange things?" Gao Shenxing said again, "What I'm talking about is the facts, we are just cannon fodder."

Gao Shenxing's tone just sounded a little cold and his expression was very indifferent, but only those who were familiar with him could tell that his heart was actually full of resentment, because Gao Shenxing was born with a cold temperament and always was taciturn, but now, Gao Shenxing talked endlessly like a poisonous tongue, which is absolutely abnormal.

In fact, Gao Shenxing was indeed full of resentment. Zhang Youquan died, but the superiors did not give any rewards. Not to mention the Yunhui Medal with the lowest level, there was not even a pitiful reward order. This gave Gao Shenxing a great excitement and also made this fiercest war-torn and the coldest style turn from a silent man to a poisonous tongue.

Of course, Gao Shenxing means venting in words, and his style has not changed.

So Xu Shijiu has never refuted anything, just let Gao Shenxing vent.

However, other officers were obviously a little unacceptable. Gao Shenxing said that the 19th Brigade was a group of cannon fodder, which was equivalent to denying the 19th Brigade's status in the 58th Division and even the 74th Army. This was absolutely unacceptable for the officers and soldiers of the Independent 19th Brigade, who have always been proud of the Independent 19th Brigade and were proud of the Independent 19th Brigade.

Even the good-tempered Hu Jie said, "Old Gao, how can you speak like this?"

"Am I wrong?" Gao Shenxing's cold eyes swept the faces of Lu Jian Gang, Mou Enguang, Hu Jie and others, and finally fell on Xu Shijiu's face. He continued, "From Luodian to Dachang, from Dachang to Qingpu, from Qingpu to Saihongqiao, from Saihongqiao to Xiaozhuzhuang, and then to Niushidun, when did he not be cannon fodder?"

Li Zihan frowned and retorted: "How can this be cannon fodder?"

"Why isn't it a cannon fodder?" Gao Shenxing said, "Every time someone needs to block the gun hole, and every time someone needs to stand up and sacrifice, the superiors immediately thought of our 19th Brigade. Every time we worked hard to complete the task, the superiors immediately kicked us away. Did the Xugong commendation have a share of the 19th Brigade? Have you ever received even one award? No, not once. What is it if our 19th Brigade is not a cannon fodder?"

Li Zihan said: "Old Gao, you are a bit too much. What does it mean to block the gun hole? Our 19th Brigade is the fist force of the 58th Division. Our food is better than brothers and our equipment is better than brothers. Of course, our 19th Brigade has to be on the top of the gun at critical moments. What else can we say?

Besides, as a soldier, how can you feel resentful because of the unfair treatment of the superiors? How is the superiors treat us their business, but as soldiers, we should fulfill our duties as soldiers. The captain often tells us that if you join the army, you have to fight, and if you fight, you have to die. No one can escape if you are the one who is there."

"Yes, the captain said this right. If you join the army, you have to fight, and if you fight, you have to die. If you are the one who is there, no one can escape. But you can count on it. How many evil battles have our 19th brigade fought since the Battle of Songhu? How many times have we been crippled? How many times have we been crippled? Why are we every time the 19th brigade? The 19th brigade really won't be killed? Is the 19th brigade really a iron fight? No, no, the brothers of the 19th brigade are all physically and physically. Captain, tell me, how many times have our 19th brigade been crippled before and after the Battle of Songhu? The worst time was in Nanjing, we two escaped, one strengthened the brigade more than 1,200 people, and in the end we only escaped. Did you ever have a comfort and a reward power? No, nothing is it?"

Gao Shenxing was excited as he spoke, and finally he almost roared.

(Split Line)

Feng Shengfa happened to go outside the command department of the 19th Brigade. After hearing Gao Shenxing's words, he couldn't take the last step.

Ask yourself, the 19th Brigade is really a group of cannon fodder. It is said to be a hard-boned unit or a fist unit of the 58th Division. It is just a bright face. The essence of the 19th Brigade is actually cannon fodder. Wherever there is danger, people need to go up to block the gun hole. The first thing Feng Shengfa thought of is that Xu Shijiu and the 19th Brigade are.

Gao Shenxing's cold words were like a whip, whipping Feng Shengfa's heart one after another.

Yes, why is it the 19th Brigade every time? Why is it still the 19th Brigade this time?

When Xingzi retreated, Feng Shengfa agreed to give the 19th Brigade three months to rest because he wanted to make up for his debt to the Independent 19th Brigade. Xu and the 19th Brigade have suffered too much sacrifices. It is said that the troops are fighting hard, but the personnel replacement of the 19th Brigade is too fast, so fast that it makes people feel trembling.

Feng Shengfa's right foot was stiffened there, not knowing whether to go in or turn around and return to the division headquarters.

Cao Jiao came over to report to Xu Shijiu. When she saw Feng Shengfa standing there, she called out to the voice master's seat.

The throne immediately alarmed the people inside. Xu Shijiu, with Li Zihan, Lu Jian Gang, Mou Enguang and other platoon-level officers, hurriedly came out. He saw Feng Shengfa at a glance. Feng Shengfa's expression was a little sad, but he soon regained his usual seriousness and indifference, and then stepped into the command center of the 19th Brigade.

"Master..." Xu Shijiu wanted to explain a few words for Gao Shenxing, but Feng Shengfa raised his hand to stop him.

Feng Shengfa looked at Gao Shenxing and said, "Battery Commander Gao is right. Although I don't want to admit it, the Independent 19th Brigade is essentially a group of cannon fodder." After pausing, Feng Shengfa continued to face the shocked eyes of everyone, "But what I want to say is that our 58th Division is essentially a group of cannon fodder?"

The 10th Peach Regiment of the Little Japan went deep into the country. Why should our 58th Division block Wanjialing? Why is it not other friendly troops? Our 58th Division has to use the power of the first division, but it has to face the attacks of the two Japanese divisions, and has not been waiting for reinforcements for a long time. What is this not cannon fodder?

From a broad perspective, isn’t the Lth Corps also a cannon fodder?

The Little Japanese Army has more than 100,000 people attacked along the south bank of the Yangtze River. Why should the Little Japanese Corps defend De'an? Why are they not other troops? From a national perspective, aren't our national army all cannon fodder? In order to protect the people and protect the motherland and nation, we can only grit our teeth and fight to the death against the Little Japanese artillery fire. What is this if this is not cannon fodder?"

Gao Shenxing had calmed down and explained: "Master, this is not what he means, but he just thinks..."

"I understand what you mean." Before Gao Shenxing finished speaking, Feng Shengfa interrupted, "Battery Commander Gao, I know you are an officer with ideas and knowledge. You can't stand many chaos within the party and within the national army, but what I want to say is that we are soldiers. Soldiers do not care about politics, just fight a good war."
