Chapter 43
The Lu Jian Gang picked up more than a dozen Japanese soldiers in a row, but found that there were more and more Japanese soldiers around him. In this moment, there were only twenty more than 80 people he brought with him. At this time, another flare was roaring into the air. With the strong light of the flare, the Lu Jian Gang saw that the mountainside was covered with dense Japanese soldiers.
At most, in three or five minutes, more Japanese will surge up to the top of the mountain, and the officers and soldiers of the Lujian Gang and the L Company will be gnawed by the Japanese. At the critical moment of life and death, the Lujian Gang laughed out of control, waving a large knife while rushing towards the denser Japanese soldiers. At this moment, the Lujian Gang has already had the will to die and no longer has the idea of separation.
In the end, the remaining twenty remaining soldiers were all red-eyed and rushed around with the Lu Jian Gang.
A veteran ran up panting from the back of the hillside and looked for someone around: "Company Commander Company Commander?"
During the chaos, the veteran was stabbed several times by the Japanese soldiers, but he struggled to climb to the Lu Jian Gang and said miserably: "Company Commander, the captain asked us to retreat and retreat to the main peak..."
Before he could finish a sentence, the veteran swallowed.
Lu Jian Gang looked around and saw that his brothers had already been completely mixed with Japan. In the daytime, he could not even retreat, but there was still a glimmer of opportunity at night. When the lights in the sky slowly went out, Lu Jian Gang yelled at the last dozen remaining soldiers: "Brothers, retreat, retreat quickly..."
The dark night gave the Lu Jian Gang and more than a dozen remaining soldiers a chance, and they finally retreated successfully.
However, the number 80 people who were originally going up the mountain with Lu Jian Gang were only a dozen people who could go down the mountain alive. At this point, the 19th Brigade also lost its ability to guard three hills. Given that there were less than a hundred people left in the 19th Brigade, Xu Shijiu decisively gave up the two small hills outside the barrier and concentrated his troops to defend the top of the mountain.
After seizing the two hills in front of the top of the mountain, Japan was exhausted and the battlefield was temporarily silent. However, everyone knew that this was just the tranquility before the storm came. Next, Japan's offensive would definitely be more violent and crazy, and the trapped beasts were still fighting, not just talking about it.

"Is it useful for you to do this?"
In the darkness, Gao Shenxing looked at Xu Shijiu and asked.
Xu Shijiu silently took out bullets from his pocket and pressed them into the magazine one by one. Until the two magazines were filled and filled into the box cannon, he turned around and said lightly: "It's useless, but it can delay time."
The Hei Xiazi standing next to him was confused and didn't know that Xu Shijiu and Gao Shenxing were actually discussing tactics.
The last ninety remaining people of the 19th Brigade were divided into more than forty groups by Xu Shijiu, two of them in each group. Then, like slashing and fire, the more than forty groups were scattered on the hillside in the east. The national army had weak firepower, and the dispersed use of troops would inevitably lead to further weakening of the firepower, and the result would inevitably be unable to stop the Japanese attack.
But it is undisputed that doing so can indeed stop the Japanese army for a while.
"Is it meaningful to delay more time?" A hint of mockery appeared on Gao Shenxing's face.
Xu Shijiu wiped his sleeves against the mirrors of the two box cannons and said, "No matter whether it makes sense or not, as long as I have a breath, I will have to fulfill my duties. The 19th Brigade's tutor is to never give up or give up."
"Don't give up, don't give up?" Gao Shenxing said, "If I remember correctly, this is the 19th Route Military Training, right?"
"To me, the 19th Route Army is the 19th Battalion, and the 19th Battalion is the 19th Route Army, all the same." Xu Shijiu no longer has the taboo to mention the 19th Route Army in front of others. What else can I forget? Missing this night, Xu Shijiu will become one of the countless soldiers of the National Army who died for the War of Resistance, and the unknown one.
"This is true." Gao Shenxing mocked, "The 19th Route Army is indeed the same as the 19th Brigade, and they are cannon fodder."
Now even the evil man who has always had a good temper can't stand Gao Shenxing's vicious tongue and said angrily: "Gao Shenxing, don't always use words to stimulate our captain. The captain is in pain, so you can't calm down?"
"He is sad?" Gao Shenxing was also excited and shouted loudly, "If he really feels miserable and feels sorry for his brothers, he should take his brothers out of the position, rather than just like now, he will take his brothers to stay here, watching the brothers die and fulfill their historical mission as cannon fodder."
The two of them quickly attracted the attention of others, and several officers gathered.
"Escape?" Li Zihan retorted coldly, "Gao Shenxing, do you want us to let Japan run away and let our 19th brigade be a national sinner and a sinner of Chinese history? Are you trying to nail our 19th brigade to the pillar of shame and make your brothers unable to raise your head forever?"
"National sinner? Historical sinner? What a big hat." Gao Shenxing sneered.
"Isn't that what you mean?" Li Zihan said tit-for-tat, "Do you dare say that you didn't say the word evacuation just now?"
"Li Zihan, you are too naive." Gao Shenxing shook his head with a sarcastic look on his lips, "Do you really think Wanjialing is guarded by our 58th Division? Do you really think that if our 19th Brigade evacuated from the top of the mountain, the entire Wanjialing defense line would collapse, and the 10th Peak of the Little Japan can escape? Haha, Li Zihan, you are so naive."
Li Zihan was confused by Gao Shenxing's words and frowned and said, "What do you mean?"
Gao Shenxing was too lazy to pay attention to Li Zihan, so he turned around and stared at Xu Shijiu and shouted: "Li Zihan doesn't know what Li Zihan means. Old Xu, you can't understand it, right?"
Of course Xu Shijiu understood that the 58th Division had been guarding Wanjialing for more than twenty-four hours. After such a long time, Xue Yue would never not make any arrangements. Any qualified commander would never bet on a single division, so Xue Yue must have arranged another leak-blocking force.
Moreover, this additional leak-blocking force must be near Wanjialing.
Xu Shijiu was still silent, but Gao Shenxing revealed the answer in public: "Tell you the truth, Commander-in-Chief Xue has sent reinforcements to Wanjialing, and the reinforcements are hidden near Wanjialing. However, Commander-in-Chief Xue does not allow them to come here now, and he has to wait for our 58th Division to fight with Japan to lose both sides before letting the reinforcements come."
Hu Jie, Lu Jian Gang, and Li Zihan were shocked by these words.
After a while, Li Zihan finally reacted and retorted loudly: "This is just your guess."
Gao Shenxing said coldly: "This is indeed just my guess, but I dare to bet with you that the truth is that."
Hu Jie and Lu Jian Gang seemed to believe it because they found that Xu Shijiu did not refute. Lu Jian Gang had a dark face and asked in a depressed manner: "Why did Commander-in-Chief Xue do this?"
"Why? Haha, good question, Lao Lu, you have the idea of this question." Gao Shenxing laughed twice, and then sighed again, "For why, it's not because of factions. Our 58th Division is a miscellaneous card in the eyes of the genuine Central Army, but in the eyes of the miscellaneous card, it is a central army. Do you believe it or not, the one sent by Xue Yue must be the Guangdong Army."
Gao Shenxing's implication was that he fought against the 58th Division, but the 58th Division died, but the credit was returned to the Guangdong Army.
Xu Shijiu finally refuted and said in a calm tone: "I believe Commander-in-Chief Xue is not such a person."
"Isn't Xue Yue such a person?" Gao Shenxing laughed bitterly, and then asked back, "Then why didn't he send reinforcements until now? Why did he watch the 58th Division fight all over?"

In the 58th Division headquarters, deputy commander He Lingxiao and Chief of Staff Yang Shaoren were also having a fierce debate.
He Lingxiao asked angrily, "Isn't Xue Yue such a person? Then why didn't he send reinforcements?" After pausing for a moment, He Lingxiao said angrily again, "I don't believe it. Xue Yue did not send reinforcements to Wanjialing, but until now, have you ever seen a soldier appear?"
Yang Shaoren retorted: "Maybe the reinforcements have not arrived yet."
"Chief of Staff, I'm afraid you don't believe this?" He Lingxiao said coldly, "Our 58th Division has been blocked in Wanjialing for a full twenty-four hours. For such a long time, reinforcements are coming from Ruiwu or from Nanxun Line, they can climb to Wanjialing even if they climb.
Yang Shaoren said: "Even if the reinforcements have arrived near Wanjialing, Commander-in-Chief Xue does not ask them to hand over defense with our 58th Division immediately. After all, it is a taboo for military strategists..."
"The big taboo of the military strategists in birds, where do so many big taboos in military strategists?" He Lingxiao said in a hurry. "The same sentence, Xue Yue just hopes that our fifth little Japanese will fight for both sides, so that his Guangdong army can pick up the ready-made contributions."
"Ma, what's this?" Fang Riying, the commander of the 172nd Brigade, cursed, "By our 58th Division, our 58th Division died, but the final contribution was from the Guangdong Army?"
"This is not the most hateful." He Lingxiao took the initiative and dared to say anything, "Have you ever thought about it? Once this battle was not completely wiped out or even severely damaged the 10th Japanese regiment, but let the entire Japanese division break through, Xue Yue will put all the responsibility on our 58th Division, and our 58th Division will become the second army."
