Ye Ruxue looked down again, and Xu Jiujiu's head drooped. "Commander, what's wrong with you?" Ye Ruxue was shocked when she saw this. When Gao Shenxing and Li Zihan hurriedly gathered around to take a look, they found that Xu Jiujiu had fallen into a coma. Ye Ruxue pinched him hard, but Xu Jiujiu had no reaction at all. If it weren't for the faint breath between his nose, Gao and Li and Li almost suspected that Xu Shijiu was dead. "Military doctor, call the military doctor quickly" Gao Shenxing turned his head and shouted towards the door. Liu Dagugu, who was standing outside the door, hurriedly walked in. He originally wanted to take a look at Xu Jiujiu's condition, but Gao Shenxing couldn't help but cursed him, and hurriedly ran out to call the military doctor. (Dividing line) When Li Zihan returned to his brigade headquarters, it was already past eleven o'clock at night. Last winter, Niu Sigen, the former commander of the Second Brigade of the 19th Detachment, fell seriously ill. Although Xu Shijiu tried every means to invite military doctors from the Kuomintang Army to treat Niu Sigen, he was ultimately unable to save Niu Sigen. Unfortunately, Niu Sigen did not die on the battlefield, but died on the hospital bed. It is sad to say that. After Niu Sigen died of illness, Li Zihan was the one everyone expected regardless of his qualifications or prestige. Because of the estrangement between the purity movement and the Communist Party, Xu Jiujiu had no intention of continuing to suppress the influence of the Kuomintang within the 19th detachment, so he went along and appointed Li Zihan as the commander of the second brigade, and at the same time transferred the guard battalion commander Yang Dashu to the second brigade. , served as the leader of the newly formed U Regiment. Today, the 19th detachment still has two brigades under its jurisdiction. Among them, the commander of the first brigade, Gao Shenxing, is in charge of the 1st, 3rd and 5th regiments. The commanders are Li Shuangqiang, Wang Fusheng and Niu Yutang respectively; Li Zihan, the brigade commander, is in charge of the No. 4 Regiment, the No. 4 Regiment and the U Regiment. The commanders are He Changzhu, Cao Xinming and Yang Dashu respectively. In addition, the Nineteenth Detachment also has three directly affiliated battalions, namely Sun Laobao's guard battalion, Li Dezhi's cavalry battalion and Duzi's artillery battalion. The reason why Xu Jiujiu arranged this arrangement is actually very clear. Basically, all the officers who tended to the Communist Party were in Gao Shenxing's 1st Brigade, and those who were leaning towards the Kuomintang were all in Li Zihan's 2nd Brigade. The rest were basically All are non-partisan. Xu Shijiu¡¯s arrangement was actually out of helplessness. Although he was very reluctant to admit it, Xu Jiujiu's family knew about his family affairs. His body was becoming weak at a desperate speed. It was now very difficult for him to sit for a long time, so he really didn't have any more energy. To reconcile the conflicts between the two factions, we can only divide and conquer. As soon as Li Zihan returned to the brigade headquarters, the three regiment commanders He Changzhu, Cao Xinming, and Yang Dashu gathered around him. "Brigade, how is the commander's health?" The person asking the question was Cao Xinming. He was specially requested by Li Zihan from the Third War Zone Commander's Department last year. Li Zihan's original intention was just to find a chief of staff for his regiment. Xu Jiujiu Not intending to embarrass Li Zihan, he agreed. But not long after Cao Xinming arrived, Niu Sigan died of a serious illness. Li Zihan was promoted to brigade commander, and Cao Xinming quickly changed from chief of staff to commander of the 4th regiment. Li Zihan lowered his head and sat down, but did not say a word. "Teacher, please tell me." He Changzhu and Yang Dashu became anxious. Because Cao Xinming had just arrived, he had no feelings for Xu Jiujiu, but He Changzhu and Yang Dashu had stayed with Xu Jiujiu for four years, especially Yang Dashu, who had served as Xu Jiujiu's guard battalion commander for more than four years. His feelings for Xu Shijiu are very deep, even more than that of the old officer Li Zihan. "If it hadn't been for Xu Jiujiu's strict order that the commander was not allowed to leave the army without authorization, He Changzhu and Yang Dashu would have gone to the headquarters to visit Xu Jiujiu. Li Zihan sighed and said sadly: "Old Xu's situation is not optimistic. He has taken all the medicine he can take, and has taken all the measures that can be taken, but he still hasn't woken up. Doctor Xiao said, Whether Lao Xu can wake up this time, I may have to leave it to fate. " "Ah?" He Changzhu and Yang Dashu were stunned at that time. Cao Xinming pondered for a moment, lowered his voice and said: "Brigade, there is a saying, I don't know whether I should say it when I am humble." Li Zihan rubbed his brows and said absently: "Xinming, you and I are fellow classmates of the Officer Training Corps, there is no need to be so polite. , just say it if you have anything to say. " Cao Xinming nodded and said seriously: "Sir, I know that you have a very deep affection for Commander Xu. I also respect Commander Xu in a low-level position, but the reality is cruel. Considering Commander Xu's current situation, I can't say that. It doesn't sound good, you may die at any time, so Brigadier, you must think in advance about where the 19th detachment will go in case Commander Xu is not around. " He Changzhu and Yang Dashu looked at each other. Although Cao Xinming's words were unpleasant, they were undoubtedly reasonable. Li Zihan's eyes became sharp in an instant, staring straight at Cao Xinming, but did not speak. Cao Xinming took a breath and said bravely. : "Tour guest, although what I just said doesn't sound good, it doesn't make any sense.From the bottom of my heart, I hope you will learn from this. " Li Zihan's eyes softened again and he fell into deep thought. Cao Xinming only said half of what he said just now, but how could Li Zihan not understand the meaning behind his words? Cao Xinming said that he should consider the future of the 19th Detachment in advance. In fact, They were trying to persuade him to strike first and kill the First Brigade Commander Gao Shenxing and several senior officers who were leaning towards the CCP. However, what Cao Xinming didn't know was that there was a bottom line involved. As a soldier from the Ninth Brigade, Li Zihan always adheres to a bottom line, which is to never point a gun at his brothers and never kill each other. At least before today, Li Zihan has always adhered to this bottom line and has never exceeded it. Intellectually, Li Zihan knew very well that as Japan became more and more fatigued, even if Japan had achieved an unprecedented victory in the just-concluded Henan-Hunan-Guangxi Battle and opened up the mainland's communication lines, it could not hide the fact that the Japanese army had already become more and more exhausted. The cruel fact is that the sun is declining, so after the end of the Anti-Japanese War, the issue of how to deal with the CCP¡¯s armed forces has already been placed in front of the majority of party and state generals. Li Zihan is also already considering how to deal with the New Fourth Army after the liberation of southern Anhui. , and how to face Gao Shenxing, who will definitely lead the First Brigade to the Communist Party. Although Gao Shenxing has withdrawn from the Communist Party, Li Zihan knows better than anyone else that Gao Shenxing's connection with the Communist Party has never been interrupted. It's one thing to think about it, but it's another thing to really make Li Zihan decide to take action. There's no need to worry about fighting in the same room. Why worry about fighting each other? (Dividing line) At this moment, Gao Shenxing is also facing Li Zihan. The same problem. For the sake of balance, Xu Jiujiu did not station the two main brigades of the 19th detachment near the county town, but stationed the first brigade in Yanjia Town and the second brigade in Lijia Town. When Gao Shenxing returned to the brigade headquarters in Yanjia Town, it was already dawn the next day, but the three regiment leaders Li Shuangqiang, Wang Fusheng and Niu Yutang were still waiting at the brigade headquarters. They also didn't sleep all night. The traveler learned that Xu Jiujiu's situation was very pessimistic, and Li Shuangqiang and the others were also shocked. They recalled that three years ago, Xu Jiujiu slashed Ohara Shigemi with a sword in Hulu Valley. How majestic was that for a small Japanese? A master of assassination with a seventh-level swordsmanship, he was unable to fight back in front of Xu Jiujiu. However, he never thought that Xu Jiujiu's body had become so weak in just three years. Niu Yutang said: "There is someone in the hotel. Important question, I wonder if you have considered it? " Gao Shenxing frowned. He knew what Niu Yutang wanted to say, but he instinctively refused to think about it. He immediately waved his hand to interrupt Niu Yutang: "Okay, you don't have to say it. I know what you want to say. What, but I can tell you very clearly that nothing will happen to Lao Xu and he will definitely get better. "Brigade, of course we hope that the commander will get well soon. Over the years, the commander has led everyone to sacrifice their lives to seize such a large territory and build such a powerful army. It is not easy. Of course, we hope that the commander can continue to lead I want everyone to fight against Japan, but"
