Junroro Matsuura had already arrived at the pipe pit east of Wanjialing, and he wanted to see the battle at the top of the mountain from close range.

To be honest, Junruo Matsuura was really hard to understand. How could the Kuomintang army with one division face the attacks of two Japanese divisions? How could it really withstand it? Although Junruo Matsuura could find many objective reasons for the 10th Pei Regiment, reality is reality, and Wanjialing has not been opened until now.

Facing the grim face of Junroro Matsuura, Kento Iino drooped his head and looked ashamed. Kento Iino had been attacking under the top of the mountain for a whole day, with more than a thousand corpses left, and nearly a thousand people were seriously injured. The entire regiment was almost disabled, but it was still unable to break through the national army's defense line. Kento Iino should indeed feel ashamed.

However, Junroro Matsuura was not as angry as before, and did not even blame Kento Iono.

Because Junroro Matsuura understood that it would be useless to get angry or blame him at this time. The performance of the 113th Infantry Regiment was already tough enough. Kento Iino was definitely a powerful general who could fight, but the national army on the opposite side could fight more. Now, what the Iino Regiment needed is the encouragement of the division commander rather than an angry roar.

Junroro Matsuura suppressed his anger and said to Kento Iino, "Iinosang, do you know which unit is opposite?"

Kento Iono subconsciously shook his head. This old Japanese man never took the national army seriously and never cared about who his opponent was.

"Iinosang, the 58th China Division is blocked in Wanjialing," said Junroro Matsuura in a deep voice, "You have participated in the Battle of Song and Shanghai, and you must have heard of this army?"

Kento Iino carefully recalled it and nodded, "I think I've heard of it."

Junroro Matsuura said again: "Iinosang, this is a powerful opponent. In Luodian, Dachang, our 10th Pei regiment has fought with him, but it seems that he has not taken advantage of it. In the battle of Nanjing, the Pei regiment was blocked by this army in Niushou Mountain for three days without any advancement. There is also the battlefield in eastern Henan, and Nakajima Sang almost died in the hands of this army."

"There is another month ago. The 10th Pei Regiment was beaten to pieces by this army." Yoshitaka Akiyama, the chief of staff of the 10th Pei Regiment, continued, "Even the captain of the 10th infantry regiment, Iizuka Kiyogoro, was shot dead by this army, and even beheaded by the Chinese army, and his ashes could not be returned to Japan."

Japan also belongs to a Buddhist country, and pays attention to the return of the soul to the hometown. Therefore, the officers and soldiers who fell into battle usually cremated and brought the ashes back to the country. However, the corpse is not complete, especially those who have lost their heads, or those who have suffered defeat or become deserters, they are not qualified to return to their hometowns. They can only be buried in a foreign land and become a lonely ghost.

Iizuka Kiyogoro did not return to Japan Island in the end.

Kento Iiye said, "That's what a dangerous opponent."

"So, it's not embarrassing that your corps will be like this now." Junroro Matsuura patted Kento Iino on the shoulder and continued, "But no matter how hard these Chinese troops can fight, they will be attacked by our 10th Pei Regiment and the Division for a whole day. I'm afraid there will be not many people left."

Speaking of this, Kento Iino has already understood that Matsuura is going to give Iino United the last chance

At that moment, Kento Iono stood up attentively and said solemnly: "Teacher Commander, I understand the humble rank."

"Yo Xi." Junrororo Matsuura nodded happily, and then stroked Ken Iinosa and said, "Iinosa, it's already dark anyway, so there's no need to rush this time to attack. You might as well let the troops rest for a while, drink some water and eat some food. I will also transfer the direct team of the division headquarters to cooperate with your wing."

"Hayi." Ken Ii Nori tied his legs together and held his head heavily.

The main position on the top of the mountain was dead silent, so quiet that it made people feel sad.

Liao Yaohua, deputy chief engineer platoon, could not stand the silence, and came to Li Zihan and spoke in a mess. The new recruit who had just joined the army half a month before the Lanfeng Battle is now one of the few veterans in the 19th Brigade, and his position has also gone from a big head to a deputy chief engineer platoon and squad leader.

"Platform leader, little Japanese has not heard any movement for a long time, are you afraid?"

"I think beautifully, the little Japanese are not that cowardly. They are accumulating their energy. Look, at most, in half an hour, they will launch an attack once they are sure to be even more fierce."

"Planer Commander, I heard from people that Company Commander Gao said that our 19th Brigade is cannon fodder?"

"Don't listen to that guy's nonsense. What is cannon fodder? We are the fist of the 58th Division."

"But if our 19th Brigade was not cannon fodder, why wouldn't we give me a reward after so many battles? Not to mention anything else, we at Niu Shitun at least killed a Japanese corps captain."

Li Zihan was silent. Others didn't know that he knew that the 19th Brigade could not make good money.

After all, it was because Xu Shijiu, who had already registered with Chairman Jiang and Minister He. As long as Xu Shijiu was still in the 19th Brigade for one day, the 19th Brigade would not have a day to stand out. Now let alone the 19th Brigade, the entire 58th Division would be burdened by Xu Shijiu, otherwise Feng Shengfa would lose to Wang Yaowu?

But Li Zihan will never tell anyone these words, because he admires Xu Shijiu from the bottom of his heart.

Because the 19th Route Army was dismembered, Xu Shijiu may have misunderstandings about the National Government and Chairman Jiang, but as a soldier, he has nothing to say in terms of style and quality, and his abilities are even more than one level. With Xu Shijiu's ability level, let alone a team leader, he is more than enough to be a division commander.

What's more, Xu Shijiu saved Li Zihan's life.

Liao Yaohua said: "I don't know how many people we can have left in the 19th Brigade after this battle?"

Li Zihan remained silent. He didn't want to answer this question, and he couldn't answer it. However, Liao Yaohua was still chattering there and continued: "Platform Commander, there is a fellow villager in my country. He told me last time that Company Commander Gao often told them privately that the national army had no hope, and even the general policy of fighting for an inch of land was wrong..."

"Enough." Li Zihan couldn't bear it anymore and interrupted Liao Yaohua, "In the future, you will have less contact with the people in the company."

Liao Yaohua was stunned, obviously unable to understand why Li Zihan suddenly became furious, and even more unable to understand why Li Zihan reacted so much to what he said just now. The atmosphere of the 19th Brigade has always been relatively relaxed, and Xu Shijiu has never been involved in the ideological trends of the officers and soldiers under his command, so the discussion on the War of Resistance in the 19th Brigade was very common.

Li Zihan continued to scold Liao Yaohua with a gloomy face: "The leader's strategic policy cannot be commented on by Gao Shenxing, a small lieutenant colonel." After thinking about it, Li Zihan continued to warn Liao Yaohua, "Also, you'd better forget this kind of rebellious remarks for me, let alone spread it to the outside world, which will not be good for you."

Liao Yaohua said oh, shut up embarrassedly.

On the other side of the company's position, Li Mu was also chatting with Gao Shenxing.

Li Mu asked: "Company Commander, do you really feel that Chairman Jiang's incoming land is wrong?"

Gao Shenxing wiped the beloved modified rifle while saying expressionlessly: "Of course it's wrong. I have heard this saying: Losing the land and keeping people, all people and land are there, and all people and land are there. There are only sixteen words, but it explains the relationship between people and land well. This is the correct general policy."

"If you lose the land, all people will exist; if you lose the land, all people will be lost? What does it mean?"

"It means that even if the country is lost, as long as the army is still there, there is still a chance to turn the tables. But if the army is exhausted, even if the country is not lost, there is no chance to turn the tables. As for the current situation of the War of Resistance Against Japan, we must not care about the gains and losses of a city and a pool, but should make preserving the vitality the first priority."

Li Mu said lightly, "It seems to make sense. Who said this?"

"Awen told me, but he should have heard from others." Speaking of Shu Tongwen, Gao Shenxing's movements suddenly paused. Shu Tongwen actually invited Gao Shenxing to go with him, but Gao Shenxing politely declined. Gao Shenxing did not regret his original decision. He still thinks that staying in the 19th Brigade is correct.
