Ergua took out a pack of cigarette from her pocket and handed it to her only hand beside her, and said as if she offered treasure: "Single team, give it."

He glanced at the cigarette box with his own hand and then his eyes shone. He took the cigarette box from Ergua like he was snatched. While he couldn't wait to tear the seal open, he asked happily: "Japanese cigarette? Where did it come from?"

Ergua took off her helmet and scratched her buzz head, and replied in a naive voice: "I searched from a Japanese officer."

While speaking, he had already spread his mouth open with his own hand. He bent his fingers and gently flicked the bottom of the cigarette box. Half of a cigarette jumped out. He handed the cigarette box to Ergua and said, "Come on one?"

Before Ergua could reach out, the one-eyed dragon came out from where to start.

"A crane, Japanese cigarette, this is a good thing!" One-eyed dragon put the cigarette under his nose and sniffed it accurately and reported the cigarette brand, then shouted to the surroundings, "Brothers, hurry up if you want to smoke."

The veterans who were lying or sitting around resting suddenly rushed up. A pack of cigarettes was not enough, and three or two people were inevitably gathered together. You took a sip and I took another sip to deal with it to relieve my addiction to cigarettes. This was also impossible. As the war deepened, the materials donated by all walks of life in Shanghai had been exhausted, and the supply of materials from the national army was already very tight at this time.

The veterans of the 19th Brigade gathered together to smoke, but only two people didn't move. One was Gao Shenxing. The guy's face still had the cold expression that had not changed for thousands of years, and he was still wiping his sword slowly in his hand. In fact, the sword was as bright as a mirror, and there was not even a trace of dust on it.

There is another one that cannot be considered a soldier of the 19th brigade, at least not yet. He is Li Zihan from the Engineering Company. For the first time the Japanese army attacked, he was the only one left in the engineering company where Li Zihan was located. If the 19th brigade had not fought back in time, Li Zihan would have probably died under the Japanese bayonet.

After repelling the Japanese army twice in a row, Li Zihan followed the 19th Brigade to evacuate the position.

It was already evening, and it was raining heavily in the sky. This heavy rain brought great difficulties to the national army that was standing on the Gu family's house. The officers and soldiers of the 306th Regiment almost squatted in the water to fight against the Japanese army. However, the heavy rain had a greater impact on the Japanese army, because the muddy ground made the Japanese tanks a decoration.

Without the guidance of the tank, the advantage of artillery fire was greatly diluted. The Japanese army had to repeatedly engage in hand-to-hand combat with the 306th Regiment, the brutal opponent. What determines the victory or defeat of the hand-to-hand battle is not the advantages and disadvantages of the equipment of both sides, or even the number of troops, but the fighting will and combat experience of the soldiers on both sides.

The Japanese army, who instilled militarism in combat will, were comparable to the officers and soldiers of the 306th Regiment, who were determined to defend their country. However, in combat experience, the officers and soldiers of the 306th Regiment clearly had the upper hand.

In actual combat, the Japanese army was obviously at a disadvantage. Until the evening, the Japanese army lost more than a dozen hand-to-hand battles.

After throwing more than 500 corpses on the Gu family's position, the old Japanese devil, He Zhiyinger, finally realized that it was impossible to defeat the national army spiritually with his will to die. Therefore, He Zhiyinger could only order his troops to retreat and pray that the weather would improve tomorrow. Otherwise, Gu family's home would become an insurmountable barrier for the Hezhi Regiment.

At the 306th Regiment Headquarters, Qiu Weida shook hands with Xu Shijiu and said goodbye.

Qiu Weida held Xu Shijiu's hand tightly and said, "Brother, don't go back to the 58th Division, stay for me to work as a deputy, right?"

Xu Shijiu smiled and said nothing. He knew that there were real and fake words in Qiu Weida. Qiu Weida hoped to have a team of elite forces like the 19th Brigade that could be of great use at critical moments. This should be true, but it is absolutely fake to say that he could ignore Chairman Jiang's taboos to the 19th Route Army and radical students.

Sure enough, Qiu Weida changed the subject and shook her head with a smile: "But if you really stayed in our 306th Regiment, I think Master Feng would never spare me."

After correcting his face, Qiu Weida continued, "Brother, you are a good person. Although you are not from Huangpu, few officers from our Huangpu Military Academy can match you. To be honest, Qiu Weida is far inferior to you. This time, you can defend the Gu family's position. Brother."

Xu Shijiu pulled his hand back, stood attentively at Qiu Weida, and saluted.

Qiu Weida replied, and advised with great sincerity: "Brother, listen to my advice, change the name back. The name of Shijiu is inconsistent, and it is difficult to pronounce. How good is the Han soul, it has momentum and loud." Qiu Weida has already learned about Xu Shijiu's past from others, so he has this persuasion.

"The good intentions of the group leader, I appreciate the humility." Xu Shijiu smiled and turned around and left.

Watching Xu Shijiu's figure go away, Qiu Weida sighed lightly. He knew that Xu Shijiu did not accept his persuasion, nor was he going to draw a clear line with the 19th Route Army. However, Xu Shijiu was given the title of remnant of the 19th Route Army. He didn't have to think about it if he wanted to stand out among the national army. It was a pity that his good skills were all his.

When Xu Shijiu was ordered to arrive at Shi Xianggong Temple, he saw a large group of shining generals. However, Xu Shijiu was just a small team leader, so he was naturally not qualified to attend the meeting, so he could only stay outside the hut that was temporarily used as a conference room to take a look from a distance. Among so many generals, he only recognized one person, Feng Shengfa, the commander of the 58th Division.

In the evening, Feng Shengfa's 58th Division and Wang Yaowu's 51st Division arrived at the Luodian battlefield almost at the same time.

As the two main divisions arrived one after another, the 11th Division commander Peng Shan, whose heart was hanging in his throat, finally fell back into his stomach. Peng Shan conveyed the order of Chen Cheng, commander-in-chief of the 15th Army to Feng Shengfa and Wang Yaowu, and the 58th Division replaced Shi Xianggong Temple, and the 51st Division guarded Gu Jiazhan, forming a horn with the 58th Division.

After the meeting, Wang Yaowu took the troops directly to Gujia House, and Peng Shan also took the remaining troops to Jiading for rest. However, the more than 5,000 people who entered Luodian were left at this time. The 11th Division was once the number one main force of the Civil Engineering Department. This time, even if Chen Cheng could quickly replenish the troops for the 11th Division, it would be difficult for him to recover his combat effectiveness in a short period of time.

After seeing off Wang Yaowu and Peng Shan, Feng Shengfa called Xu Shijiu into the command center and asked him to introduce the situation in Luodian in front of the deputy commander of the 58th Division, two brigade commanders and four regiment commanders.

Xu Shijiu was not pretentious either. He picked up the bamboo pole and pointed to the map to explain. He roughly introduced the 306th Regiment's two battles with the Japanese army in Wudoujing. He then explained his inference on the battle situation and finally concluded: "In general, with the arrival of the 51st Division and the 58th Division, the situation in Luodian improved, but the situation in the Battle of Shanghai worsened even more."

The Nanjing Command was in a different mood at this time.

The news that Qiu Weida's regiment was almost killed or injured, but the news of successfully defending Gu Jiazhai reached Nanjing as soon as possible. Chairman Jiang was overjoyed after hearing the news and immediately called Chen Cheng, the commander-in-chief of the 15th Army, and Yu Jishi, the commander of the 74th Army, to show his praise. If it weren't for the poor communication on the front line, Chairman Jiang would even want to have a direct conversation with Qiu Weida.

It was also because of this battle that Qiu Weida left an extremely deep impression on Chairman Jiang. After that, Qiu Weida enjoyed his official career and became a brave general in the National Army. Nine years later, when Zhang Lingfu's reorganized 74th Division was wiped out in Menglianggu's entire army and Chairman Jiang planned to rebuild the reorganized 74th Division, the first division commander he thought of was Qiu Weida.

Chairman Jiang was very excited, but there was someone more excited than him, and this person was Falkenhausen.

The stubborn old German man had considerable military attainments, but he did not know much about China's national conditions. At the beginning of the Battle of Shanghai, he had a serious disagreement with senior national generals such as Zhang Zhizhong, Zhang Fakui, Chen Cheng, Bai Chongxi, etc., especially when the situation in Luodian and Jiading repeatedly encountered crises, his proposal encountered great challenges.

Even Chairman Chiang was suspicious of Farkenhausen's judgment. The situation in Shanghai was becoming increasingly serious. Chairman Chiang had to doubt the correctness of the decisive battle with the Japanese army in the suburbs of Shanghai. Once more troops were put into the suburbs of Shanghai, and the riverside terrain in the suburbs of Shanghai could not play the expected role, the consequences would be disastrous.

However, now, Qiu Weida's outstanding performance at Gu Jiazhai saved Farkenhausen.

Because I was so excited, the old German man Farkenhausen was almost roaring loudly, while waving his dry fists hard to strengthen his momentum. The German translator also shouted: "I have said that the riverside terrain in the suburbs of Shanghai will become the biggest obstacle for the Japanese army. Facts have proved that my judgment is correct!

The Japanese tanks, armored vehicles and cars stopped in the muddy terrain north of Gu Jiazhai. The Japanese offensive was severely frustrated. One regiment could block a Japanese corps, and one army was enough to block a permanent division of the Japanese army. Then, concentrating the forces of fifty-nine German divisions would definitely block a seventeen permanent divisions of the Japanese army!”

Lion Fortress, the headquarters of the 11th Division of the Japanese Army.

Kazuoyi lowered his head and said to Matsui Ishien who came to supervise the battle with shame: "Genius General, Huyi is incompetent, so the battle situation in Luodian has reversed. Please punish him." After that, Kazuoyi turned around and bowed to Yamamoto Sobu, saying shamelessly, "I was unable to capture Jiading County before dark, which disappointed the division commander."

Yamamoto Sobu was expressionless, but Matsui Ishigen waved his hand and smiled, "The battle situation in Luodian has reversed? It is indeed, but it is not a reversal that is unfavorable to the Empire or the Imperial Army, but a reversal that is unfavorable to the Chinese army." After that, Matsui Ishigen patted He Zhiyingji's shoulder and said with a smile, "You are doing a good job at Kazusang."

"Huh?" He Zhiying Er was confused. The chief of staff of the Yamashita Sowu and the 11th Division, Tamura 48, the two brigade commanders and seven corps commanders were also looking at each other. The 44th Infantry Regiment was not effective in combat and failed to break through the Chinese army's Guzhai defense line, but even more than a thousand officers and soldiers were injured and killed. They were actually "doing well"?
