Xu Shijiu ignored Gao Shenxing, but Lu Jian Gang was furious and said angrily: "Who is like you, heartless, and you can still eat at this time."

"Hi, what's the matter?" Gao Shenxing took a big mouthful of rice into his mouth, deliberately chewing it loudly, and while chewing, he said vaguely, "Isn't it just a ceremony to celebrate the war? Isn't it just a share of our 58th Division? Just such a trivial matter, it's worth thinking that you abuse your stomach one by one?"

The notice from the military headquarters has officially come out. This morning, a grand victory congratulation will be held at the Confucius Temple in the north of De'an City. Before the victory congratulation, there was a grand entry ceremony. The remaining soldiers of the 58th Division believed that the final victory in the Wanjialing Battle was inseparable from the sacrifice of the 58th Division. They should have entered the city with the 5th Pei to attend the victory congratulation.

However, only the 5th Pei attended the Victory Conference in the notice, and there were no remnants of the 58th Division.

For more than 400 remaining soldiers of the 58th Division, this is of course a great injustice. They withdraw from the battle halfway, and the battlefield has not been cleaned and the capture has not been timed to count. This is already aggrieved enough. Now that they do not allow the remaining soldiers of the 58th Division to participate in the victory conference, it is almost completely denying the military achievements of the 58th Division.

After receiving the notice, Feng Shengfa, who had not spoken much for several days, was furious and cursed loudly in front of many senior leaders of the division headquarters. Then he rushed to find the army commander Yu Jishi to ask for an explanation. However, in the end, the decision of the corps headquarters was not changed. The city entrance ceremony and the victory ceremony were still missing.

At this moment, not only the 19th Brigade, but also the entire 58th Division were shrouded in a dull and depressing atmosphere. The remaining soldiers felt their chests were holding their breath and their lungs were about to explode. Where could they eat?

Perhaps, only Gao Shenxing doesn't take this seriously.

Gao Shenxing was completely desperate for the national army, so for the many inclinations, injustice and shady stories within the national army, Gao Shenxing could watch the situation coldly like a person. When a person no longer takes pride in this group and no longer takes pride in this group, he would no longer care about the unfair treatment that the collective was subject to.

Yes, Gao Shenxing's heart is no longer proud of the 19th Brigade, nor is he proud of being a member of the 58th Division. If it weren't for feeling that he owed Xu Shijiu a life, Gao Shenxing might have taken off his military uniform and went to southern Jiangsu to find He Keqi's southern Jiangsu guerrillas.

Although the guerrillas led by the Communist Party are small and have poor training and equipment, they have flexible tactics, full of vitality and infinite possibilities. Gao Shenxing increasingly feels that if China wants to win the War of Resistance, it must not count on the national army. The national army is like an old man in the twilight, no longer has the vitality of the Northern Expedition, and they have no hope.

However, others don’t think so. Lu Jian Gang said angrily: “Isn’t it just a Zhu Jie style? It’s light, do you know what this means? This means that Shangfeng does not recognize the contributions of our 58th Division at all. In Shangfeng’s eyes, the 51st Division, which completed the last blow, is the biggest contributor to the Wanjialing victory.”

Hu Jie turned his head and said in a depressing manner: "And our 58th Division is just a stepping stone."

"It's true that you are still upset about this?" Gao Shenxing shook his head and said sarcastically, "I said you are really stupid and have not seen it clearly until now? Our national army is no longer the Northern Expedition Army of the past. If the current national army does not have a good relationship with Shangfeng, if it is not the direct descendant of Shangfeng, no good thing will be your turn."

The heads of more than a dozen remaining soldiers such as Lu Jian Gang, Hu Jie, drooped one by one.

Gao Shenxing said again: "If others don't say it, just talk about our teacher seats, Huangpu first-year student. Can Wang Yaowu compare with him in terms of military merits? Wang Yaowu is even less sensible in terms of ability. From Songhu to Nanjing, from Nanjing to Xuzhou, and from Xuzhou to De'an, how many bad battles have our 58th Division fought? But in the end, Wang Yaowu was promoted to commander."

Lu Jiangang scratched his bald head and said furiously: "The bullshit commander, he is the deputy commander."

Gao Shenxing said: "When you talk about merits and rewards, Wang Yaowu should be the commander of the army."

The Lujian Gang didn't say anything again, which was the most aggrieved by the officers and soldiers of the 58th Division.

Gao Shenxing continued, "Wang Yaowu is not qualified, has no ability, and has even less military achievements. But he is able to become the commander of the army. Why? Isn't it because there are people in the central government who have registered with Chairman Jiang? So, brothers should be more open-minded. Compared with the teacher, what are our little grievances?"

"No, no, no, no"

Deputy Commander He Lingxiao held his head in both hands and squatted into the corner, shouting three times in a row.

Chief of Staff Yang Shaoren said to Wu Yizhi without any hesitation: "Seat, isn't it appropriate for us to go?"

Wu Yizhi looked embarrassed and looked at Feng Shengfa sitting next to him and didn't know what to do. He followed Xue Yue's order and came to inform Di5 Pei to attend the Victory Conference. He thought that the officers and soldiers of the 58th Division would be overjoyed, but he never thought that as soon as he finished speaking, several military chief officers of the division headquarters started to make trouble on the spot.

Seeing that Feng Shengfa had no reaction, Wu Yizhi looked at Qiu Weida with his eyes aside again.

Zhu Qi, the brigade commander of the 174th Brigade of the 58th Division, was injured in the battle of Wanjialing. After the troops were withdrawn, they were transferred to Nanchang for medical treatment. Then the military headquarters then transferred Qiu Weida from the 5th Division to serve as the brigade commander of the 174th Brigade. It is said that this appointment was first proposed by Wang Yaowu, but was strongly opposed by Yu Jishi, but it was finally passed.

When the 74th Army had just formed an army before the Battle of Songhu, the 58th Division was undoubtedly the main force. The 5th Pei was far behind the 58th Division in terms of equipment and training. When the 5th Pei had officers vacant, the officers of the 58th Division were promoted first. However, after the Wanjialing victory, the status of the two was reversed. The officers of the 5th Pei began to enrich the 58th Division openly. Later, Zhang Lingfu, who was born in the 5th Pei, even directly served as the commander of the 58th Division.

Therefore, Qiu Weida's promotion to the commander of the 174th Brigade is just an overture.

Facing Wu Yizhi's eager gaze, Qiu Weida could only smile bitterly. Although he had a good relationship with the 58th Division, at such an opportunity, he transferred the 58th Division to serve as brigade commander in this way, which made Qiu Weida extremely embarrassed. If he had a choice, he would rather stay in the 5th Division and continue to be his regiment commander.

When Wu Yizhi was helpless, Feng Shengfa finally stood up from the chair and said in a deep voice: "Gather the troops and participate in the ceremony of the victory." He Lingxiao and Yang Shaoren looked back and Feng Shengfa said word by word, "This is what the brothers deserve. They should be recognized by the elders and fellow villagers and cheers."

At 10 a.m., the welcome ceremony begins on time.

The weather is beautiful, and the entire De'an area is covered with thick clouds. In such weather, the little Japanese combat aircraft can only stay at the airport and cannot fly over to make trouble.

The entire De'an has been empty and there is no need for official organizations. Hundreds of thousands of people gathered spontaneously outside De'an City to warmly welcome the mighty army that returned from triumphantly. Some people say that the Chinese people are the simplest and best people. This is true. Although the national army lost a lot of wars and lost a lot of land, as long as the national army wins a battle, the Chinese people will give the warmest cheers without hesitation.
