Chapter 98
After listening to the translation, Takayo Fujido was not angry and laughed, "You China's land area is large enough, even larger than three hundred Japans, but your country is as strong as yours, and your national strength is not as strong as ours. If we are little Japan, then what is your China? Are you big China? Aren't you ashamed?"
Xu Shijiu was speechless, yes, if Japan was a small Japan, then what was China, which occupied more than 10 million square kilometers of land and had a population of 450 million? If it was a big China, why was it beaten so badly by the small Japan? Not to mention that millions of square kilometers of land were lost, even the capital was occupied by others.
Although he overwhelmed Xu Shijiu in his words, Tengdo Gaoying did not show much pride, and then continued: "Xu Sang, there is a Chinese proverb that those who know the current affairs are heroes. Chiang Kai-shek's government lost half of China and stayed in the southwest and survived. It was a matter of time before the fall. Wang Zhaoming knew the current affairs very well..."
"If you are here to persuade me to surrender, then you will be spared." Xu Shijiu interrupted Tengdo Gaoying lightly.
Tengdo Takayoshi frowned and said, "Xu Sang, I really want to make friends with you. We have already experienced your performance on the battlefield. To be honest, I admire you very much. If you and I exchange positions, I must admit that my performance will definitely be far inferior to you..."
The translator's translation is already very fluent and has achieved simultaneous interpretation.
"But" Xu Shijiu interrupted Fujido Takayo again and said, "Fujido Takayo, just say whatever you have. Don't hesitate. There is no need to. Moreover, don't you think this is hypocritical and boring?"
"Okay, Xu Sang, I really didn't want to treat you like this, because you are a real soldier. I think it's unfair to use this method to coerce a real soldier, but your stubbornness forced me to do this." After Fujido Takayoshi finished speaking, he raised his hands and clewed his high-highs.
Soon, a veteran of the 19th Detachment wrapped in gauze was escorted in.
The veteran saw Xu Shijiu at a glance and shouted excitedly: "Commander?"
"Li Guisheng?" Xu Shijiu also recognized this veteran. Xu Shijiu had a great memory. There were nearly 5,000 people in the entire 19th Detachment. Almost everyone remembered it, especially the first batch of veterans who joined the army. Xu Shijiu even knew which village they were from which village they were from. The veteran in front of him was the first Lijia Town people to be recruited.
After the veteran named Li Guisheng was excited, his expression on his face soon dimmed: "Commander, why are you..."
Before Li Guisheng finished speaking, Tengdo Gaoying asked the Japanese soldiers to stand him down, and then said to Xu Shijiu: "Xu Sang, there are many wounded people like this, and I won't hide it from you. The serious wounded people who stayed near Qinglong Village, the wounded people injured in the Battle of Hulu Valley, and the wounded people from the Terracotta have all fallen into our hands."
Xu Shijiu didn't speak, but just looked at Fujido Gaoying coldly, waiting for his next sentence.
"Xu Sang, the life and death of these seriously injured people is all in your mind." Fujido Gaoying finally showed his trump card and said, "As long as you are willing to cooperate, publish a statement in the newspaper to announce that you will leave the national army, these seriously injured people will not only not have to die, but the Imperial Army can also pay for medicine and perform surgery on them. Of course, if you don't cooperate, they may not live long."
"Tengdo Gaoying, are you threatening me?" Xu Shijiu raised his head and stared at Tengdo Gaoying coldly.
"Xu Sang, I said that I sincerely want to make friends with you, but you don't want to, so, you forced me." Fujido Takayoshi narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "I know you are in a difficult position, so I am willing to give you more time to consider. Why not do this? Before noon tomorrow, I hope you can give me an answer."
After saying that, Takayo Fujido got up and left the cell.
Haneda followed and asked, "God General, do you think Xu Shijiu will agree?"
"He will agree, he will definitely." Fujido Takayoshi turned around, looked at the cell where Xu Shijiu was imprisoned, and then turned around and left.

Yanke, the garrison of the New Fourth Army Independent Regiment.
Liang Dadan poured a teacup of water with his own hands and handed it to Shu Tongwen, who had just returned from the military meeting, and then asked: "Awen, can the leader have new instructions?"
"No, let's continue to wait." Shu Tongwen shook his head, but a hint of worry flashed across his eyebrows. The friction between the New Fourth Army and the National Army's Third War Zone has reached a white-hot level, and there may be fire at any time. It is said that Chiang Kai-shek has sent the final spy to the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China has also called several times, asking the Jiangnan Detachment of the New Fourth Army to urgently withdraw to Jiangbei, but Xiang Ying, deputy commander of the New Fourth Army and secretary of the Southeast Bureau, refused to implement it.
After all, there is actually a tendency between various forces within the Communist Party of China, but it is not as serious as the Kuomintang. The reason why Xiang Ying was unwilling to lead the Jiangnan Detachment of the New Fourth Army to cross the Yangtze River north and the reason why he was unwilling to move the military headquarters to southern Jiangsu was simply because he did not want to weaken his power. Because after going to Jiangbei, his connection with the Eighth Route Army was close, and he could no longer cover the sky with one hand.
"Are you still waiting?" Liang Dadan scratched his bald head and said, "If you wait any longer, Shangguan Yunxiang will push the bayonet to our stomachs."
From the beginning, the grassroots commanders of the New Fourth Army represented by Liang Dadan unanimously agreed that if the friction between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party was to ease, there were only two ways to go. They either retreat north as soon as possible or take the initiative before the National Army was not ready. But now, Xiang Ying has been reluctant to retreat north to the Yangtze River, but he dared not make up his mind to take the initiative first. As a result, Shangguan Yunxiang's Army was deployed bit by bit. Now the Jiangnan Detachment of the New Fourth Army basically has no room for maneuvering or turning around.
"Oh, I won't talk about this anymore." Shu Tongwen sighed and changed the subject, "Is there any new news coming from Longkou County in the past half month since I went to Yunling? How is the anti-sweeping of the 19th Detachment going?"
"Don't mention, the 19th Detachment is over." Liang Dadan sighed and said, "For more than half a month after you left, the situation in Longkou County can be said to have taken a sharp turn. In the battle of Hulu Valley, the 19th Detachment tried his best to eat up the artillery brigade of the little Japanese. Then he was completely in the dilemma of being passively beaten. Three days ago, even Xu Shijiu was captured by the little Japanese."
"What did you say?" Shu Tongwen stood up quickly and said in shock, "The captain was captured by the little Japanese?"
"Isn't that a thing?" Liang Dadao shook his head and sighed, "I don't know what Xu Shijiu thought, but he actually went to Niu Sigen's camp alone, trying to persuade Niu Sigen to make a pass and let the 19th Detachment come to Qingyang. As a result, Niu Sigen not only refused to let go, but also directly detained Xu Shijiu. Gao Shenxing went to ask for someone. Niu Sigen fought another battle with him and drove the remaining troops of the 19th Detachment back to Erlong Mountain."
"Old Liang, I'm going to talk about you," Shu Tongwen couldn't help but complain, "Why did I tell you before I left? I asked you to help you nineteen when it's important. That's how you help? Why can't you help the boss?"
"Awen, I want to help, but now we are not willing but have enough strength." Liang Dadan smiled and shook his head, saying, "I don't know if the Kuomintang had communicated with the little Japanese in advance, or if the little Japanese secretly noticed something. Now the two sides are very tacitly understanding and are secretly pointing their finger at our independent regiment. I want to take the troops to Longkou. Do you still want the base here?"
"But we can't stand by." Shu Tongwen thought for a while and said, "Old Liang, why not do this? I will take the spy company and the cavalry battalion."
Liang Dadan immediately shook his head and said, "Political Commissar, you can take the spy company away, but you can't take the cavalry battalion. Besides, Erlong Mountain is all mountains, and the cavalry battalion cannot exert any power when it comes there, and its role is not as good as that of infantry."
