Qingyang County, Yanke Village.

Although it was already late at night, the lights were still on in the east wing of a private house, and there were cheerful laughter from time to time. Through the open window, you could see Shu Tongwen, Liang Dadan and Li Zihan sitting around the square table. There were two bottles of wine and a large pot of peanuts. The three of them peeled peanuts, drinking and chatting while drinking.

Liang Dadan chatted with the two for a while and found an excuse to go outside to get rid of his hands.

Only Li Zihan and Shu Tongwen were left in the room, and the topic began to deepen.

"Zihan, I heard that you fought the De'an Battle later, and the 58th Division in Wanjialing was almost over. The captain, Lao Gao and Heizi were all still alive, are they? Where are they now?" What Shu Tongwen most eager to know now is the whereabouts of the veterans of the 19th Brigade and their current situation.

Li Zihan's face showed a dark look and sighed softly.

Shu Tongwen paused in his heart and asked, "Captain, he..."

"That's not." Li Zihan naturally knew that Shu Tongwen had misunderstood his meaning, and shook his head and said, "In the battle of Wanjialing, the entire 58th Division fought to the point where there were only more than 400 people left, and our 19th Brigade only survived a few, but the captain, Lao Gao, Heizi and Lao Hu were all fine. At least before I left, they were still alive."

"Before you left?" Shu Tongwen heard some implications and said, "What about later?"

"I was not very clear about the situation later." Li Zihan shook his head and said, "I heard that the captain, Lao Gao and the others finally ran away, and threatened to leave the Kuomintang army and go deep into the enemy's rear to fight independently. Then there was no news. Before I came to the Third War Zone to take office, I went to the Ninth War Zone and found Lao Hu, but Lao Hu only knew that the captain and the others had crossed Poyang Lake and entered southern Anhui, and they didn't know anything else."

"Southern Anhui, the captain and the others really came to Southern Anhui?" Shu Tongwen couldn't help but feel excited. When he thought of reuniting with Xu Shijiu and other old comrades who had lived and died, Shu Tongwen could no longer calm down.

"Old Hu only said that they came to southern Anhui, but did not say that they would settle in southern Anhui. Maybe they had passed southern Anhui and went to western Zhejiang or southern Jiangsu. Who knows?" Li Zihan said, "I heard from Lao Gao that he and the captain had worked with a guerrilla team in southern Jiangsu. They were likely to have gone to southern Jiangsu."

In fact, Li Zihan still had a lot of worries and didn't say it out. At that time, Hu Jie said that when Xu Shijiu and his friends ran away, there were only ten combatants left, but they were accompanied by three female soldiers, two old men and one child, only two mullets, eight rifles, and only two grenades, and only more than one hundred bullets.

Just a few people and a few ammunition, it is probably enough to encounter a small Japanese team. If you encounter Japanese soldiers of a squadron or above, you will not even have a chance to escape. Li Zihan is very worried that Xu Shijiu and the others may have died in battle next to a certain road or in front of a certain blockade ditch.

Shu Tongwen saw Li Zihan's concern, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Zihan, don't worry, what kind of person is the captain? That's the Nine-Life Cat. He fought the Northern Expedition, the 128th Shanghai War, and then the Battle of Fortress Mountain. No matter how many big and bad battles could not kill him, how could the little Japanese do to him?"

"That's true, the nickname of Nine Life Cat is really not for nothing." Li Zihan felt relieved.

"As for Lao Gao," Shu Tongwen peeled a few peanuts and stuffed them into his mouth, and said while chewing, "In terms of war, he may not be as good as the captain, but if you want to talk about the ability to save lives on the battlefield, I am afraid the captain is not as good as him. Don't forget that in the Battle of Nanjing, he killed 250 Japanese alone, 250."

Speaking of Gao Shenxing, Gao Shenxing's cold face seemed to appear before Li Zihan. This guy didn't talk much before, but since Zhang Youquan died, he became extremely shady. At that time, Li Zihan was annoyed by him, but now he has become a warm memory.

"This 25 is really a 25." Li Zihan shook his head and smiled at the corner of his mouth.

Just as Liang Dadan got back after he got rid of his hands, he asked, "Two hundred and five? Who is the Two hundred and five?"

Shu Tongwen smiled and said, "Old Liang, we are talking about a veteran of the 19th Brigade. This person is a person. Haven't you been dissatisfied with me? I said that my shooting skills are just about face-saving work. When it comes to a melee, the little Japanese will not give me the time and opportunity to aim. Only like you, shooting without aiming is really effective."

Last time, Shu Tongwen showed off a pistol technique on the battlefield and killed two Japanese machine gunners with the tracer of bullets. The guerrillas were very impressed and urged Liang Dadan to compete with Shu Tongwen for a shot. As a result, Shu Tongwen beat Liang Dadan in three positions: lying, kneeling and standing positions.

Finally, Liang Dadan got angry. A sparrow flew over. He took out a box cannon and shot the small sparrow. Shu Tongwen was not able to hit the mobile target. Only then did Liang Dadan barely gain some face and said arrogantly that Shu Tongwen only knows how to shoot fixed targets, and his marksmanship is just face-saving work.

At this time, Shu Tongwen said, Liang Dadan still felt a light on his face and said immediately: "Isn't that the case? The little Japanese won't stand there stupidly and let you aim at it. When fighting, you have to be like me. You can raise your hand and then hit it. When you aim at it, the little Japanese bullets have already been fired and they have hit you into a sieve."

Shu Tongwen smiled and shook his head, saying, "I admit, Lao Liang, what you said is reasonable."

Liang Dadan sat down with a gloomy face and asked again: "What did you say just now?"

Li Zihan said: "We just said that there was a veteran of the 19th Brigade. His shooting skills were really powerful. After the failure of the Nanjing Defense Battle, our 19th Brigade was ordered to cut off the rear. He fought with the Japanese in the Saihongqiao position for several days and nights. The last brigade had more than 400 people almost fought all of them. In the end, only two people escaped from Nanjing from the tunnel.

Liang Dadan nodded and said sincerely: "In this battle between Jiujiang and De'an, as well as the battles between Songhu, Xuzhou and Wuhan, your national army is actually fighting well. At least Liang Dadan is very impressed."

Liang Dadan joined the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army at the age of fifteen. He died at the gun of his relatives and comrades in the army. I don't know how many of them died at the gun of the National Army. It can be said that he has a deep hatred. Therefore, when talking about the National Army, he is a reactionary Kuomintang, but this does not prevent Liang Dadan from looking at the Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Nanjing from the perspective of a veteran.

Only the well-equipped Central Army can last for three months on the Songhu battlefield.

Only with a well-trained Central Army can heal the Japanese in Wanjialing

If it weren't for the National Army, if it weren't for the Central Army that Liang Dabing hated him so much that his teeth were itchy, China would have probably died long ago.

Liang's bold words made Li Zihan and Shu Tongwen's thoughts unstoppable return to the Battle of Shanghai, the Battle of Nanjing and the Battle of Lanfeng. During the bloody and fierce battles, the two of them could hear violent explosions in their ears, and the roars of their already-dead comrades.

"Don't worry about me, rush forward..." Gao Caizi fell down and roared the last time.

"Suicide? I don't have to write suicide note, because no one will collect it." On the eve of the Battle of Fengxian, all the officers and soldiers of the brigade were preparing suicide note with tears in their eyes. Only Ergua looked at the setting sun with melancholy faces, dazed. Gao Shenxing asked him why he didn't write suicide note and why he didn't leave some thoughts for his family? Ergua answered like this at that time.

Li Zihan also thought of the battle of Niu Shitun. In order to defend the position, all members of Zhang Youquan's L Company were killed in battle. When Gao Shenxing found Zhang Youquan, Zhang Youquan was no longer a human being, but he insisted on not giving up. It was not until Gao Shenxing found him from the dead that he yelled at Gao Shenxing that we were not deserters, and then he took his last breath.

These past events passed by, and before they knew it, the two of them were already in tears.

Looking at Li Zihan, Shu Tongwen was crying silently there, and Liang Dabang couldn't hide his shock.
