    In Wuhan, the name Song Xilian attracted people's attention and also attracted the attention of Lao Jiang.

    The Japanese 13th Division was unable to capture the enemy for a long time, and Japanese war reporters caught the topic.

    Journalists are always the ones who don¡¯t take things too seriously. They only want eye-catching events and don¡¯t care about the truth behind the events.

    Ever since, with the promotion and reporting of these war correspondents, reports such as the 13th Division's broken wings at Mount Fujin soon appeared in Tokyo's major newspapers and tabloids.

    Even Japan's most famous Asahi Shimbun published such a report in its newspaper: "Due to the stubborn resistance of the enemy's main force Song Xilian's army, this battle suffered heavy casualties and the battle situation made no progress. Our army encountered a strong opponent and was helpless.  ¡­¡±

    The Japanese army has always advertised that it is invincible and that the enemy is as stupid as a pig. It rarely advertises how tenacious the opponent is in resisting.  As soon as this kind of publicity came out, it quickly attracted the attention of many people.

    Japan¡¯s propaganda naturally attracted the attention of China. It is worth mentioning that although China and Japan were fighting to the death on the battlefield, reports from Tokyo could reach Wuhan almost the same day.

    This is of course due to the great infiltration of the Military Command Bureau. They even have an intelligence department dedicated to Japan. Once there is any trouble in Japan, the Nationalist Government will quickly get detailed information.

    When it was learned that the domestic media in Japan praised Song Xilian¡¯s unit so much, the Nationalist Government hurriedly seized the opportunity to publicize the matter.

    Then, under the auspices of the "literary and courageous" Chen Builei, a unique propaganda campaign began. Soon Song Xilian and his 71st Army became famous and spread throughout the country.

    But Song Xilian, who was far away in Fujin Mountain, had no idea about these things. At this time, he once again came to the 36th Division headquarters halfway up Fujin Mountain.

    The headquarters of the 36th Division is still the same, but it can be seen from the dirt and gravel on the ground that it must have been bombarded a lot in the past few days.

    What surprised Song Xilian even more was the change in Chen Ruihe. Maybe he hadn¡¯t washed his face in a few days. Chen Ruihe and Mr. Chen¡¯s skin was so rough that it looked like it was about to split.  His face was so dark that he looked like he was covered in a hard shell.

    Because he hadn¡¯t slept for several days and nights, his eyes were bulging outwards and covered with dense bloodshot eyes, and his fingers were burnt yellow by the smoke.  His hair was disheveled, like a living ghost who had just crawled out of hell.

    "It's hard for you, Brother Rongguang." Song Xilian felt a little sad when she saw the situation in life.

    Chen Ruihe was born in 1904 and was three years older than the army commander Song Xilian. Normally, Song Xilian would not deliberately give him his name, but now Song Xilian couldn't help but call him brother.

    "It's nothing, it's just brothers" Chen Ruihe was also a little sad and couldn't go on.

    "Commander Sun called and said that the war zone expressed condolences to you and asked the Military Commission to help you. Brothers will not die in vain!" Song Xilian said.

    Chen Ruihe stretched out his hand to stop Song Xilian, "Military seat, dead brothers will not ask for credit or reward. Please tell me happily, how many more days do we have to guard?"

    "Including today, at least 3 days."

    "Three more days? Military seat, do you know that our 36th Division has less than 2,000 men left. If we really have to defend for three days, our division will not even withdraw from the position!" Chen Ruihe said.

    "Alas, I know this too, but there is nothing I can do, the military orders are like mountains!"

    "What is the purpose of Zhong Bin's 88th Division?" Chen Ruihe asked in a deep voice.

    "Master Zhong is also fighting, and they are the army's reserve team."

    Although Chen Ruihe's slightly accusatory tone made him very dissatisfied, Song Xilian also deliberately emphasized his tone when he said the last sentence.

    But after he looked at Chen Ruihe, who had a dark expression, his heart softened again. Their 36th Division really tried their best in this battle. It would be too unkind to not let them complain at this time.

    "Brother Rongguang, honestly speaking, how many people are there in your division?"

    "More than 1,700 people. If we include the lightly wounded, we can still make up another 500 people."

    Chen Ruihe knew that Song Xilian was not easy to fool, so he did not hide it and answered directly.

    "That's 2,200 people, still less!"

    Song Xilian then said immediately: "Let's do this. I will transfer a regiment from the 88th Division to you. Within three days, I hope Fujin Mountain is still in our hands."

    After saying that, Song Xilian took a step forward, patted Chen Ruihe's shoulder gently with one hand, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Rongguang, the country is in danger, and our brothers sacrificed their lives for the country. We should be proud of them."

    "Our 36th Division is the most elite German weapon division of the national army and has a glorious tradition., always stand and never climb down.  Beat me hard. The more Japanese you kill, the more brothers you can die without regrets.  "

    "Yes, military commander, please rest assured!"

    ¡°It¡¯s all up to you here, I¡¯ll wait for your news from behind!¡±

    "Military seat, when will the reinforcements arrive?" Chen Ruihe asked again.

    "Your reinforcements are only one regiment of the 88th Division, don't think about the others!" Song Xilian said.

    "yes!"

    Walking out of the headquarters of the 36th Division, we saw the front line where the war was raging from a distance.

    There was a rumble of artillery in the distance, and the sound of gunfire continued for a long time, while nearby there were wounded soldiers one after another, wearing bandages in twos and threes, like earth lords emerging from the ground.

    Song Xilian felt proud, inspired, and sad.  He walked up to a teenage boy soldier, straightened his helmet, patted the dirt on the soldier's body, turned and left.

    However, the situation on the battlefield changed drastically in the next two days, and on October 26, Gushi fell.

    A large number of Japanese soldiers rushed to the southwest and surrounded the retreat of the 71st Army in Fujinshan. Fujinshan was in danger.

    After learning that Gushi had fallen, Song Xilian and others on the mountain were shocked, and even the usually good-tempered man could not help but curse.

    It is extremely embarrassing to know that the national army stationed in Gushi County has two divisions, but it cannot stop the attack of an infantry brigade of the little Japanese.

    But Song Xilian also knows that Japan has defeated the Chinese army for so many years, not because the Japanese army is strong, but because the Chinese army is weak. From a global perspective, the Japanese army's equipment should be below the average level of the great powers.

    In terms of the quality of the soldiers, the fighting will and execution ability of the elite of the Chinese army are not much worse than those of the Japanese soldiers. However, in terms of modern tactics and the cultural level of the soldiers, they may not be as good as the Japanese soldiers.

    ¡°For example, at least the Japanese soldiers are literate, know what electricity is, and know how to use light and heavy weapons together, but the national army cannot reach this level.

    But the more important thing is the gap in weapons. To be fair, the Japanese army is not strong, and tanks may not be able to defeat German tracked vehicles on the European battlefield.

    But China is really weak and backward, and its lack of anti-tank weapons makes it helpless in the face of the Japanese armored vehicles that are not thickly armored but have carburized surfaces.

    An important reason why the 71st Army was able to hold the Fujinshan position was that they occupied an absolute terrain advantage, which greatly curbed the firepower advantage of the Japs.

    In addition, the terrain of Fujin Mountain Pass is narrow, and the number of troops that the Little Devils can invest at one time is no more than a thousand. When the fighting is fierce, the Little Devils can only constantly mobilize infantry to charge, which becomes a tactic to ensure accuracy.

    Because of this, Fujin Mountain has become a nightmare for the Japanese army. However, with the fall of Gushi, the little devil is about to wake up from his nightmare. On the contrary, the 71st Army is likely to be made dumplings by the Japanese army.

    And just when Song Xilian's troops were considering whether to evacuate Fujin Mountain immediately, an emergency order suddenly came from the headquarters of the Third Corps, and the 61st Army contacted them.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
