As soon as the shelling was over, before the Weiyuan brigade could clean the battlefield and repair the fortifications, Scar arrived with the 19th brigade. In addition to the 19th brigade, there were more than 300 remaining soldiers of the 61st Division that Zhu Xia had once again collected.

Facing the Weiyuan Brigade, which was in danger, the 19th Brigade and the 61st Division remnants of the 61st Division seemed to have little to do, because they lacked heavy firepower and fought fiercely until noon. They were even counterattacked by the Weiyuan Brigade. Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Zhong Song finally arrived with the main force of the 20th Independent Brigade.

Looking at the Central Army's tide that was swarming from the southern end of Taiwan, Ohara Shigemi knew that it was impossible to defend Fortress Mountain. Helplessly, Ohara Shigemi had to take the remaining 100 remaining soldiers out of Fortress Mountain in a hurry. Fortunately, the tide had risen again outside Wusong. With the help of the naval gunboat, he finally fled back to the warship.

Although this operation failed, Ohara Shigemi was not worried about her fate. No matter what, it was caused by the poor cooperation of the navy, not to mention that he defeated a division of the National Army in Wusong Town!

As soon as the Japanese army retreated, the veterans of the 19th Brigade began to look for Xu Shijiu like crazy, wanting to see people in their lives and wanting to see corpses in their lives!

The entire 19th brigade searched every inch of land up and down the Fortress Mountain, and finally found Xu Shijiu in the evening. At that time, Xu Shijiu had already covered her with a thin layer of floating soil. If Ergua had not been careful, she would have really not be able to find it. Then again, if it weren't for the protection of this layer of floating soil, Xu Shijiu would have no idea how many eyes had been stabbed by the little Japanese on her body.

"Knife Team, I'm looking for the captain. The captain is still alive! He is still alive!" Ergua dug out Xu Shijiu, stretched out her hand and found that she was still breathing. She jumped three feet high, turned her head and yelled.

"Captain, where is the captain?" Scar rolled and climbed to the top of the mountain.

Then there was the one-handed, one-eyed dragon and Gao Shenxing. Although Gao Shenxing had joined the 19th Brigade for a short time, he had completely integrated into this group. Following the 19th Brigade veterans rushed to the top of the mountain, he had completely subconsciously reacted. Obviously, he was also very concerned about Xu Shijiu's life and death, because this was related to whether the 19th Brigade's collective can continue to exist.

"Here, the captain is here, here!" Ergua jumped, cried, and roared.

Scar, one-handed, one-eyed dragon and more than a dozen veterans rushed up, trying to carry Xu Shijiu down the mountain with all his hands. Gao Shenxing quickly reached out to stop him and said, "Don't move, don't move around. I don't know the injury of the captain. Trouble touching will only aggravate his injuries. Stretcher, go and get a pair of stretchers!"

Seeing Gao Shenxing's serious appearance, Scar yelled: "Stretcher, go get the stretcher!"

More than a dozen veterans scattered like flying. In less than a moment, they carried a pair of stretchers to the top of the mountain. Gao Shenxing asked Xu Shijiu to keep his body flat as much as possible, and then moved him onto the stretcher.

As soon as the stretcher went down the mountain, Zhu Xia hurriedly came up.

After reaching out to Xu Shijiu's breath, Zhu Xia's tears fell, but he was happy. He walked forward on the stretcher while crying: "I knew, I knew that you can't die. You are a cat. Your fucking one is a nine-life raccoon cat. A cat has nine lives. If you can't die, you can't die."

Xu Shijiu was soon sent to the temporary battlefield ambulance station in Wusong Town. Yu Jiaxi, who received the news, had to endure the strong longing for her lover. She insisted on performing surgery on a seriously injured person and finally took the opportunity to come to Xu Shijiu's bedside. Looking at Xu Shijiu who was unconscious on the bed, Yu Jiaxi's beautiful eyes turned red in an instant.

"Miss Yu, please check the captain quickly." There are many veterans in the 19th Brigade who know that Xu Shijiu and Yu Jiaxi have a relationship, but only one-eyed dragon knows Yu Jiaxi's background. He knows that Yu Jiaxi is a talented student who has returned from studying in the United States, and he studied medicine in the United States, and his medical skills are quite skilled.

Yu Jiaxi reached out to wipe away the tears that were about to overflow her eyes, and calmed down to examine Xu Shijiu.

There were only two wounds on Xu Shijiu's body. One was a scratch on his forehead, which had been simply bandaged with gauze. The other wound was on the left rib. It should have been picked by the Japanese bayonet, and the entire skin was peeled off. Judging from Xu Shijiu's face, breath and pulse, there were signs of excessive blood loss, but it was not so serious that it was life-threatening.

Putting away the receiver, Yu Jiaxi asked, "How long have your captain been in a coma?"

Everyone looked at Ergua in unison. Ergua was nervous and couldn't even speak smoothly. She said evasively: "I don't know either. When I was looking for the captain, he was already unconscious?"

Scar then added: "It's been almost four hours since we found the captain."

Yu Jiaxi's heart suddenly sank. Both wounds were not fatal, but Ajiu was still unconscious. This is not a good phenomenon, but it was not good to heal if it was affected by the old injury. Yu Jiaxi remembered that there was still a bullet in Xu Shijiu's head that had not been taken out. If it was affected by the old injury and pressed the nervous system, Xu Shijiu would probably be unconscious forever!

At that moment, Yu Jiaxi said to the veterans: "The conditions here are too simple, and I can't diagnose the reason why your captain is unconscious. However, there are field hospitals in Jiangwan, which have relatively complete facilities and experts and doctors selected from various hospitals. It's better to find a way to send your captain to Jiangwan."

Scar became anxious when he heard this and shouted at the veterans: "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and find a stretcher!"

Zhu Xia quickly stopped him and said, "No need to find a stretcher anymore. Take my car. It's night anyway."

So everyone carried Xu Shijiu into Zhu Xia's car again. After Zhu Xia told the driver, he went back to the division headquarters. He was the chief of staff of the division, and the division commander Zhong Song had just taken office, so he couldn't get rid of his body at all. Scar, one-handed, one-eyed dragon and Ergua naturally had no restrictions, and ran all the way to Jiangwan Field Hospital.

However, when I arrived at Jiangwan Field Hospital, I still couldn't find out the cause of Xu Shijiu's coma.

It was not until the next day, August 22, that Xu Shijiu still had not woken up. Scar and the others could not stay in the hospital, so they had to keep Ergua and repeatedly reminded Ergua that once the team leader woke up, he would call Zhu Shenzu of the division headquarters. Ergua responded all over, and everyone went reluctantly.

Yu Jiaxi also stayed in the field hospital to take care of Xu Shijiu nearby.

#############

During this period, two major events happened in Shanghai. One was that two battlefield communications published by Ye Ruxue in the Miller Review caused a great response in Shanghai. The other was that the Iron Fist Plan initiated in the early morning of the 22nd, but the Iron Fist Plan, which was highly anticipated, ended in a disastrous defeat.

Ye Ruxue's two battlefield communications greatly inspired the confidence of Shanghai citizens in the war of resistance, but the disastrous defeat of the Iron Fist Plan severely hit the confidence and morale of the officers and soldiers of the National Army.

You should know that the ones gathered in Shanghai now are well-equipped Central Army, German-equipped German-equipped divisions, and even tanks, but they still have no choice but to take over the thousands of Japanese troops in the Japanese concession, and they can't even fight a small Huishan Wharf. The battle situation is so unfavorable, how can the officers and soldiers participating in the war not be pessimistic?

Zhong Song, who had just been promoted to Lieutenant General of the 61st Division, was one of the few senior generals of the National Army who were not affected.

Zhong Song is also a legendary figure. He was admitted to the first-stage infantry department of Huangpu, but when he graduated, he was in the second-stage artillery department. In the middle, he was misdiagnosed by the school doctor as unsuccessful because of typhoid fever, and pushed the morgue to wait for death. Later, during the War of Liberation, he also fought tenaciously with General Peng in the northwest, and Zhong Song, who was known as the inability to kill him.

There is also Zhong Song's 20th Independence Brigade, which is not an ordinary force.

After the September 18th Incident, Chairman Jiang made a five-year military reorganization plan. Among the first ten troops adjusted, the remaining nine units, including the Central Military Academy Teaching Corps, were division-level units. Only Zhong Song's 2nd Division Independent Brigade was a brigade-level unit. This shows how much Chairman Jiang valued Zhong Song and his independent brigade.

Zhong Song reduced the four regiments of the former 61st Division into one regiment, and all officers above the platoon were replaced.

The 19th Independent Brigade, which Zhu Xia finally dug out from the Shanghai Security Corps, was also withdrawn from the establishment table by Zhong Song. Zhong Song has always looked down on the local security team. He would rather recruit new recruits with no military experience and train them slowly than replenish veterans from the local security team into his own troops.

It must be admitted that Zhong Song's point of view still makes sense, because the new recruits are highly malleable, and under the influence of the backbone veterans in the army, it is easy to grow into an excellent soldier, while the soldiers of the local security team are not the case. These soldiers have often been in the army for many years, and the many accumulated habits they have developed are difficult to change, and they will also lead other soldiers in the army.

However, what Zhong Song didn't know was that Xu Shijiu's 19th brigade was not an ordinary local security team.

When Zhu Xiazheng didn't know how to explain, Liu Anqi, who had just been transferred from the 87th Division to the deputy commander of the 61st Division, said to Zhong Song: "The division seat is not comparable to that of the security teams in other places. There is also this independent 19th Brigade, which is particularly not simple. His backbone veterans all came from the 19th Route Army that year."

"Oh?" Zhong Song was slightly moved. Of course he knew about the 19th Route Army.

At this moment, Deng Zhongmei, the brigade commander of the 183rd Brigade to the 61st Division, walked in with a telegram and said, "Second, deputy, and entrenched. Is the Independent 19th Battalion of our 61st Division the original Independent 19th Brigade of the Shanghai Security Corporation? Is the captain named Xu Shijiu?"

"Yes." Zhu Xia nodded, "What's wrong?"

"That's right." Deng Zhongmeiyang Yangyang sent a telegram in his hand and continued, "The War Zone Chief Office asked us to send someone to Fortress Mountain to find the body of Xu Shijiu, buy a good coffin, and then invite representatives from all walks of life in Wusong Town to try to create a grand memorial ceremony, which can be regarded as the mourning behind the martyrs of the War of Resistance Against Japan."

"Martyrs of the Anti-Japanese War? I am sobbing and honoring behind me?" Zhu Xia was confused when he heard this.

After reading the telegram, Zhu Xia's expression became a little amused. Ajiu was not dead yet, why did he become a martyr? He was still going to be a military colonel? What's this called?

Seeing that Zhu Xia's expression was strange, Deng Zhongmei asked, "What's wrong with the seat?"

Zhu Xia shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Brig Commander Deng, this body of Xu Shijiu may not be found, because he was not dead at all, and he is now lying on the bed of Jiangwan Field Hospital."

"What did you say? He wasn't dead?" Deng Zhongmei said in surprise, "No, Shangfeng clearly said he was dead."
