Chapter 49

Xu Shijiu's old injury has indeed relapsed.

Five years ago in the 128th Shanghai War of Resistance, Xu Shijiu brought a company to the enemy's back. Although he successfully destroyed the Japanese artillery positions, he was also hit in the head by a bullet that bounced back on the barrel. His subordinates carried him back to the hospital. After a little examination, the doctor declared that Xu Shijiu was helpless.

But in the end, Xu Shijiu miraculously woke up. However, due to the limitations of conditions, no doctor had the courage to perform craniotomy surgery. The bullet remained in his mind. Jiangwan Field Hospital had the latest X-ray machine, and the shape and position of the warhead could be clearly seen through the X-ray.

The doctor at Jiangwan Field Hospital asserted that Xu Shijiu would never be in a coma, and Yu Jiaxi was in despair.

Xu Shijiu woke up again, but when he woke up it was already early in the morning of August 24.

At this time, the Iron Fist Plan had failed, the Japanese army also landed, and he had been posthumously awarded the Army Colonel by the Ministry of Military Affairs.

When I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was a dazzling white, white walls, white beds, and figures walking around outside the window, and they were all wearing eye-catching white coats. Xu Shijiu's consciousness paused for a moment. Is this the hospital? Isn't he in Fortress Mountain? Why did he suddenly run to the hospital?

However, Xu Shijiu is very sure that he is still alive, and this place is not a slum.

"Captain Xu, are you awake?" A surprised voice suddenly sounded from behind.

Xu Shijiu turned his head in the voice, and what caught his eye was a beautiful face, a little familiar. He must have seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it.

"Captain Xu, don't you recognize me anymore?" The woman in a white coat put the enamel basin in her hand on the head of the bed. She looked back and smiled at Xu Shijiu, then took out the towel from the basin and sucked it dry. While wiping Xu Shijiu's face, she said coquettishly, "Oh, you really forgot about me. No wonder Miss Tang said that your heart is made of iron."

"Are you... Xiaofeng?" Xu Shijiu finally coincided with the image of the girl in a white coat in front of him who looked beautiful and refined with another woman in his memory. However, in his memory, the woman always had heavy makeup on her face and a dusty smell on her body. No wonder Xu Shijiu couldn't give it up just now, and the gap was too big.

Xiaofeng was a dancer on the big stage. After the Fujian Rebellion, Xu Shijiu returned to Shanghai. At that time, he had no money and had to raise money to heal his brothers' injuries, so he had to find someone to raise funds. During this period, he often went to and from the big world, the big stage and the fireworks field. Xiaofeng and Miss Tang, whom she said, met at this time.

"Xiaofeng, where is this? Is this the public concession?"

"No, this is Jiangwan Fudan University, but now it has been changed to a field hospital."

"What did you say? This is Fudan University?" Xu Shijiu was stunned when he heard this, then looked at Xiaofeng's white coat and asked, "Then why are you here?"

Xiaofeng smiled and said, "It's not because of you."

"Because of me?" Xu Shijiu was confused.

"Captain Xu, you guided the artillery and shelled the Fortress Mountain and died with the little Japanese, and the sisters were crying when they read the report." Xiaofeng said as she put a declaration in front of Xu Shijiu's bed. The newspaper was yesterday, and the front page headline was "The Last Nineteenth Route Army" reprinted from the Miller Review. The content has not changed, but the title has been changed to "The Last Nation Army".

This is also a natural meaning in the question. It is impossible for mainstream media to publicly promote the 19th Route Army.

While Xu Shijiu was reading the newspaper, Xiaofeng said again: "Captain Xu, you are an anti-Japanese hero now. Inspired by you, the young people in Shanghai are rushing to join the army. The little gangsters of the Qinghong Gang have also signed up to join the army. Several recruiting offices in the public concession are about to be squeezed out by them."

"Hero?" Xu Shijiu put down the newspaper, shook his head and sighed, "What kind of hero am I? Those brothers who died in the battlefield of the Anti-Japanese War are the real heroes."

After saying that, Xu Shijiu asked again: "By the way, why am I here?"

"It should be your subordinates who sent you here." Xiaofeng said, "I just came today, but I saw you. When I saw you just now, I was so happy. When I went back, I would tell my sisters the news. If they knew you were still alive, they wouldn't know how happy they would be, especially Miss Tang, hehe."

Xu Shijiu smiled bitterly, turned over and got up from the bed.

"Oh, don't move." Xiaofeng suddenly became anxious and stepped forward to stop him, "The doctor said you have a severe concussion and have to lie flat and not get out of bed and walk around."

Xu Shijiu turned around and asked, "Do you think I look like a concussion?"

"Then I'll go find a doctor to do a test for you, don't walk around." Xiaofeng turned around and went to the doctor.

Xu Shijiu shook his head and left the ward. Xu Shijiu recognized at a glance that it was indeed the dormitory area of ​​Fudan University. There were eye-catching red crosses on the lawn in front of the dormitory area, mostly to avoid bombing by Japanese aircraft. However, looking at the bomb craters all over the lawn and the big trees that were blown up in the waist, the little Japanese obviously did not take the Red Cross logo seriously.

Xu Shijiu was thinking about the Japanese bombing, and a harsh air defense alarm sounded over the campus.

Then the entire campus became riots, and the wounded, nurses or doctors who were walking in the open air rushed into the solid cement building to hide. Anti-aircraft machine guns set up on the rooftop of the building also sounded violently. Then six Japanese planes coated with plaster logos appeared above the campus of Fudan University.

However, Xu Shijiu recognized it at a glance. They were six dive bombers. Judging from their flight altitude, Xu Shijiu knew that they were definitely not for Fudan University. Most of them were going to bomb Hangzhou Amaranth Airport.

However, what surprised Xu Shijiu were the injured policemen who were passing by in a hurry.

After the Battle of Shanghai officially started, the Central Army was always the main attacker. Although the Shanghai Security Corps also participated in the war, they were only assisting in the war. The Independent 19th Brigade was just an exception. As for the Police Corps, they were only responsible for the public security of each block and did not participate directly in the war. How could so many injured policemen appear?

Xu Shijiu stopped a policeman with a cane and asked, "Brother, your police corps also participated in the battle?"

"Isn't that a thing?" the policeman shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Japan made a big landing in Zhang Huabin early yesterday morning, and then launched a fierce attack on the hydropower company. At that time, we were the only one platoon of the hydropower company, and almost all the brothers fought. However, the three platoons guarding Zhang Huabin Railway Station were worse than ours. At least a few of us survived, and they did not survive."

"Zhang Huabin Railway Station?" Xu Shijiu's hair suddenly stood up. The Japanese army really landed on a large scale, and they were logged in from Zhang Huabin Railway Station?

Xu Shijiu asked the police again: "Brother, what day is it now?"

The police thought for a moment and replied, "It seems that it is the 24th today."

"Thank you, brother." Xu Shijiu thanked the police and turned around and left. The Japanese army had already landed in a large scale. He had to go back to the army and stay with his brothers.

Ergua, who was having breakfast outside, heard the alarm sound and ran back. However, when he ran back to the ward panting, he found that the captain was gone, and there was a beautiful female nurse in the room. Before he could speak, Ergua's face turned red and asked, "Please ask, have you seen us captain?"

Seeing Ergua's silly and shy look, Xiaofeng suddenly remembered her younger brother Hanwa from her hometown in the countryside. She was so happy that she learned tone and quipped: "You, you, you, you, you, you, the captain, who is it?"

"Our team leader is our team leader." Ergua lowered her head, becoming more and more cramped.

Xiaofeng couldn't bear to tease him anymore and said softly: "I'm looking for it too, I don't know where to go now."

"Run?" Ergua was stunned at first when she heard this, then she was overjoyed and said, "Has our captain woken up?"

"Yes, he just woke up, but he didn't know where he ran away in a blink of an eye." Before Xiaofeng finished speaking, Ergua had already rushed out of the room. Xiaofeng became anxious and shouted, "Hey, where are you going, beware of the plane!"

Ergua waved at Xiaofeng and soon ran away outside the ward door.

Ergua was in a hurry to notify Yu Jiaxi. After Xu Shijiu was sent to Jiangwan Field Hospital, Yu Jiaxi repeatedly reminded him that if Xu Shijiu woke up, he would ask him to notify her as soon as possible. Although Ergua had not had much contact with Yu Jiaxi, he could see that Dr. Yu was an excellent girl and really cared about the captain.

When Xu Shijiu hurried out, a tram had just stopped at the station outside the school gate.

Japanese planes whistled past the sky from time to time, and the harsh air defense alarms kept ringing again. Citizens waiting for the car were inevitably afraid. However, the two guards at the gate of Fudan University gave them courage, and there was no riot. They all endured the fear in their hearts, but they still lined up, waiting to get on the car in a row.

At this moment, two young men dragging large suitcases rushed from a distance.

The two young men were wearing suits, tied, and separated. They could tell at first that they were young men from wealthy families. Seeing their hurrying appearance, they had mostly been away from the Japanese concession to Jiangwan. Now that the Japanese army has landed in large numbers, Jiangwan is not safe, but they have to hurriedly hide back to the public concession. The tram is heading to the public concession.

The two young men were unreasonable and held the suitcase and squeezed into the queue. As a result, a patient with gauze wrapped around his head and legs was squeezed down. After the man fell to the ground, something fell out of his shirt pocket. After it fell to the ground, it made a jingle sound. When everyone looked closely, it was a medal with a ribbon.

"This is... the seventh-class Yunhui medal?!" A student in Zhongshan suit stepped forward to pick up the medal, then looked at the falling patient with respect, and said in a trembling voice, "You are the national army, you are the hero of the national army!"

The patient's eyes dodged a little, but he just took the medal back from the student in silence.

"Hero of the fart." The young man in suit who knocked down the sick said disdainfully, "He deliberately did not wear military uniforms and wanted to squeeze into the tram to the public concession, most of whom wanted to be a deserter!"

Another young man in suit echoed: "Yes, he must be a deserter!"

The ill-deep patient looked ashamed, but the young student refused to agree. He turned his head and glared at the two young men in suits, and said righteously: "If he were deserters, how could he be injured? How could he be injured?! If they hadn't killed the Japanese invaders on the battlefield, Shanghai would have fallen long ago. If they hadn't used their chests to block the Japanese invaders' bullets in front of them, you would have been shot by the Japanese invaders long ago, so how could you have stood here and spoken out loud?"

Looking at the gauze oozing from the patient's body, the two young men in suits became a little unnatural.

The young student turned around and shouted to the passengers queuing up the bus, "Friends, compatriots, the national army is a hero, they are heroes. If they hadn't sacrificed their lives to resist the invasion of the Japanese invaders, Shanghai would have fallen long ago and China would have died long ago. So please let us give in and let our heroes get on the bus first."

As he said that, the student and another student helped the fallen army up. The passengers lined up in front, whether the elderly or children, were all given to both sides. The two young men in suits also dragged their suitcases and made silently make way, but the wounded members of the army showed a violent struggle on their faces.

After a while, the wounded soldiers of the Kuomintang gently broke free from the support of the two students and turned around and left.

The two military policemen standing guard at the school gate had already walked towards this side, but when they saw the wounded being walking back, they walked back. One of the military policemen even glanced at Xu Shijiu. If Xu Shijiu dared to board the tram, they would definitely rush up to stop him as soon as possible.

At this moment, another batch of Japanese bombers flew over Jiangwan. This time, they came to the field hospital located in Fudan University. Six Japanese aircraft were divided into three groups, diving down one by one, and heavy bombs fell from the sky with a sharp roar, and then they exploded violently.

A bomb landed not far from the station. The air waves generated by the explosion overturned the tram to the ground. The entire station suddenly became a mess and everyone walked away in a hurry.

The child's cry suddenly sounded in the chaos, and then a young woman wailed: "Child, my child."

When Xu Shijiu looked closely, he saw a young woman running away in a riotous crowd. However, her child fell on the platform and was crying helplessly. At this time, another Japanese plane was diving down, and then two more bombs fell from the sky. The landing point of the bomb was not very far from the platform, so the child was most likely not spared.

Xu Shijiu was stunned and wanted to rush over to save people, but it was too late.
