Song Xilian and Huang Meixing were classmates from Huangpu First Class, and Huang Meixing was eleven years older than Song Xilian. Therefore, although Song Xilian was already a major general brigade commander, he still respected Huang Meixing very much.

Song Xilian held Huang Meixing's hand and said, "Brother Jingzhong, from now on, our headquarters will be in charge of the front line of Miaoxing Town. Your headquarters will return to Changshu, Kunshan to repair it. On behalf of our 87th Division, I would like to thank you for your heroic fighting these days."

Huang Meixing turned his head and looked at his brother who was standing behind him. In just one week, there were 1,800 heroes when the 528th Regiment went to war, and now there were only so many left. Huang Meixing said with a sad face, Song Xilian said, "Mengguo, our 528th Regiment has not embarrassed the Chinese soldiers. I will leave it to you when I go to the temple."

Song Xilian was in awe. He knew that his senior's 528th Regiment had been responsible for the most important defense since he joined. A regiment at Bazi Bridge withstood the attack of nearly a thousand Japanese Marines, and in four days he did not allow the Japanese to advance half a step forward. With more than half of the casualties, only 800 people resisted the Japanese attack at the temple shop. It was really admirable.

"Senior, please rest assured that the temple shop was preserved by the 528th Regiment with hundreds of brothers' lives. As long as there is one living person in our 261st Brigade, we will never let the Japanese advance a step forward."

Huang Meixing suddenly remembered something again, turned around and found Shen Xiuwen who was standing at the end with Shen Yi, and waved to Shen Xiuwen to come: "Xuwen, I'll introduce you to you. This is General Song Xilian, the commander of the 261st Brigade of our 87th Division."

Although Shen Xiuwen had long guessed that it was Song Xilian, he still pretended to be surprised and bowed and said respectfully: "I have heard of General Song's name for a long time. I am really lucky to be able to see him today."

Song Xilian nodded slightly to Shen Xiuwen and said lightly: "This little brother has gone too far."

Song Xilian was young and proud. Among the many graduates in Huangpu First Class, he was the youngest. He was young and proud. He was already a major general brigade commander at the age of 24, and was highly valued by Chairman Jiang. Naturally, he did not take Shen Xiuwen, a small college student, seriously. He was able to nod and was completely in the face of Huang Meixing.

Huang Meixing naturally knew Song Xilian's character. He smiled slightly and pointed at Shen Xiuwen and introduced to Song Xilian: "Mengguo, this little brother is Shen Xiuwen. He was originally here to express condolences to us on behalf of Shanghai Jiaotong University. But because of the attack of the Japanese, he almost accompanied me to Huang Meixing here. You underestimate this little brother. He and his companions destroyed at least ten Japanese in the position today. We are about to retreat to the rear. Please arrange a car to help them return to the city."

Song Xilian was a little surprised why Huang Meixing solemnly introduced a college student to him to condolences. He finally understood after hearing this. He couldn't help but look at Shen Xiuwen with admiration and immediately said: "This is no problem. I will ask my guard to escort this little brother back to Shanghai downtown."

Huang Meixing nodded gratefully, turned his head to hold Shen Xiuwen's hand, and said, "Xuwen, then let's say goodbye to you, and I hope there will be a chance to meet in the future."

Shen Xiuwen nodded excitedly and hurriedly said, "Captain Huang, we will definitely meet again after the truce."

"After the truce?" Huang Meixing and Song Xilian were stunned at the same time. You should know that after the outbreak of the 128th Incident, the people across the country were excited, and the diplomatic mediation of the National Government was regarded as "traitoring the country". Public opinion from all walks of life strongly advocated that the National Government could defeat the Japanese army in Shanghai, or further recover lost territory in the Northeast, and even "expedition to Japan". The young students were the new forces of various marches and petitions. They did not expect that the word "crackdown" appeared from Chen Xiuwen's mouth, which was actually an alternative.

"Little brother, the whole country is united, and the National Government is also preparing to move the capital to Luoyang. Chairman Jiang has even issued a national defense plan. Now that the war has just begun, our army is in full swing, how can we truce the war easily?" Song Xilian couldn't help but intervene and asked.

Chen Xiuwen actually realized that he had accidentally let go of the surprise on the faces of Song Xilian and Huang Meixing, and he was already aware that he had let go of the words and regretted it very much. You should know that discussing the truce at this time is likely to be regarded as pro-Japanese elements. He had to bite the bullet and answer: "Didn't the National Government report the atrocities of the Japanese army in Shanghai to the League of Nations this time, and asked the League of Nations to take strong measures to stop Japan's aggression. I think if nothing unexpected happens, the clampdown agreement will be reached soon after the mediation of the League of Nations."

When Song Xilian heard this, Chen Xiuwen's answer was exactly the same as the usual arguments of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the National Government, and he couldn't help but say disdainfully: "Prior hope to the mediation of the League of Nations. Humph, if the League of Nations mediation is used again, our three northeastern provinces would not be occupied by the Japanese."

"Shanghai is different from the Northeast." Chen Xiuwen said with some dissatisfaction: "Western powers have huge interests in Shanghai, focusing on 80% of Britain, 60% of the United States, 90% of France, and 70% of Italy's investment in China. This time, the Japanese army launched a large-scale attack in Shanghai, which will inevitably seriously threaten the interests of the great powers in China. This time, the League of Nations and the Western Powers will definitely take a tougher attitude towards Japan and put pressure on Japan. Didn't the American fleet travel to Shanghai some time ago? Therefore, Japan will not be able to occupy Shanghai this time. Sooner or later, it will accept the mediation of the League of Nations and return to the negotiating table."

"Xuwen, are you so sure? What if the little Japanese doesn't listen? I think it's still necessary to beat them. Only by hurting the little Japanese can they sit down to negotiate." Huang Meixing said, lifting his sleeves from the side.

Although they all thought that what Chen Xiuwen said was reasonable, as soldiers, Zhang Xueliang, the Northeast, refused to resist and placed his hopes on the mediation of the League of Nations, which led to the fall of the three northeastern provinces, and they all regarded it as a shame. But they still didn't really believe that the Japanese would obediently obediently obediently and sit down to negotiate.

"This is right." Chen Xiuwen said. As soon as he said this, the two people's faces suddenly became strange. Huang Meixing was a little embarrassed by Chen Xiuwen's almost slippery argument. Song Xilian's disdain expression became more obvious. Just as he was about to sarcastically, he heard Chen Xiuwen continue to say: "It is precisely because we bravely resisted the Japanese invasion this time that Japan did not win with one blow like the Northeast, stabilized the national military and people's hearts, and increased the international community's sympathy for our country. It also put Japan in a dilemma. Japan is now just a newly emerging industrialized country, and he is still unable to fight against Western powers independently. The reason why Japan's large-scale increase in troops was to make the National Government surrender in a short period of time, and to win more bargaining chips in future negotiations and compete for a favorable position in negotiations."

Speaking of this, Chen Xiuwen deliberately paused and looked at the thoughtful Song Xilian and Huang Meixing. He knew that these two were both Chiang Kai-shek's direct descendants, and felt that it was necessary to say a few good things for Chiang Kai-shek. He continued: "Fortunately, Chairman Chiang made a timely comeback this time, and even proposed a wise foreign policy of preparing for negotiations and actively resisting. I think that as long as we resist bravely, the Japanese will not be able to win in a short period of time, and at the same time, they will have to face the strong pressure of Western powers, and they can only return to the negotiating table."

"Then will our three northeastern provinces be occupied like this?" Huang Meixing frowned and thought for a while, and said.

Song Xilian's face was also gloomy. September 18th was a pain in the hearts of all Chinese people, especially for their soldiers.

Chen Xiuwen sighed and said, "At present, our country is full of warlords, and the National Government has not yet been stabilized. It is not easy to recover the Northeast at present." Then, Chen Xiuwen changed his tone and said, "However, Japan is an island country with poor resources. The purpose of their invasion of our three northeastern provinces is to accumulate war resources and launch an aggressive war on our country in an all-round way. I think as long as we can unite and work hard to govern, stop the civil war, and jointly fight against Japan, we will one day drive the Japanese invaders out of Chinese territory."

As soon as he spoke, Chen Xiuwen suddenly felt that he was too excited. How could he speak out all the propaganda slogans of later generations? You should know that the two in front of him were Chairman Jiang's hard-core direct descendants. He couldn't help but look carefully at the faces of Song Xilian and Huang Meixing.

Fortunately, the Northern Expedition was not long after the end of the year, especially the Whampoa soldiers, who were still full of revolutionary ideas, did not arouse vigilance against Chen Xiuwen's words "Stop the civil war and unite in fighting against Japan." Instead, they agreed with it quite.

Song Xilian sighed and said, "It's not easy to stop the civil war and fight against Japan in unison. The current slogan of GCD is: overthrow the National Government and arm the defense of the Soviet Union. It is still difficult to unify the country, so how can we talk about fighting against Japan in unison? Therefore, the principal proposed the policy of resisting foreign countries and avoiding the first to settle the country."

Chen Xiuwen was clear about overthrowing the rule of the Kuomintang. During the two civil wars, they were all GCD slogans. However, it was the first time Chen Xiuwen heard about it. He suddenly thought that at this time, the leadership of GCD was in the hands of Wang Ming and others who had returned from the Soviet Union. Chairman Mao was being excluded by them. At the same time, the so-called anti-counterfeiting movement was launched soon. When Chen Xiuwen thought of this, he couldn't help but shudder.

However, Chen Xiuwen's words just now made Huang Meixing know him better, and also won the appreciation of Song Xilian. His status is higher than Huang Meixing, and Chairman Jiang also valued him quite well. He knew that Chiang Kai-shek had just returned, and although he proposed a national defense plan as soon as he came to power, no one of the warlords who had separatist troops really sent troops to respond. This time he rushed to Shanghai, the reason why he sent the most elite Fifth Army, even despite the opposition of German advisers, sent the Central Army. The school teaching corps was mainly composed of troops on the front line of the Communist Suppression of the Communist Party in Jiangxi, and there was no military force to be sent. This time, Chen Cheng's 18th Army had been transferred from Jiangxi, but in the face of the current situation, it was just a drop in the bucket and was useless to the overall situation at all. In particular, Chen Xiuwen mentioned Chiang Kai-shek's recent proposal of foreign policy of preparing for negotiations and actively resisting, and Song Xilian, who had always admired Principal Jiang very much, suddenly became more grateful to Chen Xiuwen, and at the same time he was eager to cherish talent.

"Little brother, don't you know what plans you have after graduation?" Song Xilian asked with a smile.

"Plan?" Chen Xiuwen was stunned. He had just arrived at this era and encountered this battle. What should he do in the future? The possibility of going back is no longer great in Shen Xiuwen's opinion. His current identity is the second young master of the Shen family. With the financial resources of the Shen family, he can live a prosperous life. But thinking that Japan will launch a full-scale war of aggression against China in five years, especially after he experienced the arduous battle just now, Chen Xiuwen suddenly felt a strong aura and replied loudly: "A war between China and Japan is sooner or later. After graduation this year, I plan to apply for the Central Military Academy and join the army."

"Okay." Song Xilian shouted with joy on his face, then sighed softly: "At this year, the Central Military Academy should have recruited students from the tenth period. However, due to the principal's second son and this war, this year, he probably won't recruit students." As he said that, he changed his mind and said: "However, you can come to my army after graduation. When the Central Military Academy starts recruiting students next year, I will recommend you to further your studies. What do you think?"

Chen Xiuwen understood that Song Xilian was fond of him. He was able to follow such a famous anti-Japanese general and was a direct lineman. Of course, Chen Xiuwen was desperate to find it. But he remembered that after the 128th War of Resistance, the 87th Division and the 88th Division were successively sent to Jiangxi to suppress the Communist Party. Chen Xiuwen, who grew up under the Red Flag since childhood, was certainly unwilling to point his gun at the Red Army.

"This... Thank you General Song for your kindness. However, Xiuwen must report to his father for his military affairs and obtain his father's approval." Chen Xiuwen did not want to offend General Song, who was known as the "eagle general" in later generations, said vaguely.

Song Xilian did not see Chen Xiuwen's hesitation and smiled and said, "Should you do this." As he said that, he took out a notebook from his pocket, wrote the address of their 87th Division in Nanjing office, and tore it off and handed it to Chen Xiuwen: "After you graduate, if Ling Zun agrees, you will come to Nanjing to recruit me, just go to the office to report my name."
