The 51st Division of the Sangou Yuan Army, which was far away in the Hanzhong area of Shaanxi, also received an order from the Military Commission on August 16 to send troops to Shanghai to support the Ninth Army (36th, 87th, and 88th Divisions) and the 18th Army in Shanghai.

Originally, Sangou was going to Shaanxi with a graduation letter, but now he received a phone call informing him that Sangou and Fu Lianhu and Hao Guanying would converge and go to Shanghai together when the original troops passed by in Nanjing.

On August 20, the 51st Division crossed the Qinling Mountains from Hanzhong and arrived at Baoji Railway Station to assemble and board, and the train passed through Xi'an, Luoyang, Zhengzhou and Bengbu all the way to Pukou Station, the southernmost point of the Jinpu Line.

When the military train crossed the river by steamer to Xiaguan in Nanjing, it was bombed by Japanese military planes, but fortunately, at night, the whole division implemented light control.

All the bombs of the Japanese planes fell in the Yangtze River, blowing up a column of water that soared into the sky, and the three dogs were thrilled to see it on the riverside, for fear that the steamer would be bombed.

When the train went ashore, they added coal and water to the Xiaguan station, and the three dogs got on the train and found the personnel office of the division headquarters to report, but they didn't expect that the division commander Wang Yaozu wanted to see them.

Everyone came to the division commander's room, Division Commander Wang was no longer the brigade commander who had supplemented the first brigade before, and the three of them naturally knew about it for a long time, went in to give a neat military salute, and then reported to the division commander one by one.

Senior Commander Wang was still so kind and kind, and asked everyone to sit down and talk, he looked through the information given by the adjutant, and said:

"I've seen your grades in the Whampoa Military Academy, they're all very good, I'm very proud, in the future, we are all alumni, I'm obsessed with how old you are, I'm considered a senior, hehe!"

"Don't dare, don't dare, the division commander smiled." The three dogs and a few of them hurriedly replied.

"Okay, I have memorized the names of the three of you, and I will work hard in the future to set an example for our Whampoa soldiers in the army."

"Follow the teacher's teachings."

"This time, we are about to go to the front line in Shanghai, as soon as you graduate, you will go to the battlefield, are you afraid?"

"Report to the division commander, we are not afraid, and we are looking forward to it."

"Very well, I like soldiers like this; Okay, you should hurry up and report to your original company with your colleagues in the personnel department. ”

"Yes, sir." The three dogs, Fu Lianhu, Hao Guanying, and a few of them turned around and went out, cherished each other, followed the personnel department, and went to their original company separately.

Originally, there was no need for the division commander to meet a small military academy graduate, but this one was a graduate of the Whampoa Military Academy, and Division Commander Wang was also from Whampoa and had feelings.

Second, the expansion of the army, there is a need for talents everywhere, send the three dogs out to study, come back to meet them, in the past, they can be regarded as their own protégés, this is a means to attract talents.

Senior Commander Wang called Adjutant Wu in, gave Sangou and several of their files to him and said:

"You go and tell the bosses of these Whampoa graduates, they are about to go to the battlefield, don't give them real jobs first, according to normal regulations, half a year of intern officers, but it is best to have a deputy platoon commander position."

"It is necessary not only to exercise their practical experience, but also to give full play to their learning strengths; Another point is that they are required to protect their superiors, company platoon commanders, etc., and it is too difficult to cultivate a good talent now. ”

"Yes, sir." Adjutant Wu understood this and went to arrange work.

……

As soon as he arrived in the carriage of the 306th Battalion, 7th Company and 4th Platoon of the 3rd Battalion, Sangou saw so many familiar faces, although it was in the dark carriage, although he had not seen him for several years, he was still so familiar and cordial.

Before the three dogs gave a military salute, they were hugged by the nearest big potato, probably too excited, and the two of them mixed garlic under their feet, both fell on the aisle, and with a bang, everyone was startled.

Some of us were still sleeping, some were half-squinting, and suddenly in the dark night, I found Da Shu holding a person and falling down the aisle, thinking that something had happened.

"Three dogs, three dogs, three dogs on dog days, are back." The big potato was like holding a golden lump that fell from the sky, and he didn't let go, so that the three dogs couldn't stand up.

As a result, as soon as everyone heard that it was the three dogs, they all pounced, pressed the big potatoes and the three dogs on the ground tightly, touched them with their hands and feet, and screamed with their mouths and feet:

"The three dogs are here, where are they?"

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, I can't see it."

"Get out of the way, let me see, don't get in the way."

"What has changed? I can't see it, let me touch it. ”

"Don't touch it, I'm a big potato, where did you touch your hand?"

"Big potato, hurry up, don't get in everyone's way."

"I'll go, you're all pressing, how can I get up?"

The bull pulled everyone away one by one, and the three dogs had to see the light of day again, and everyone broke through to surround them, grabbed the three dogs with seven hands and feet, and asked this and that.

"Gotta let the three dogs sit down and talk." Lao Li shouted to everyone.

Everyone gathered the three dogs in a circle, kept asking, and the three dogs kept replying, looking at this, looking at that, full of joy, this mood, as if from another home, back to the original home.

It was late at night, and the train was still running on the Shanghai-Nanjing line in the wilderness; In order not to affect the rest of the others, everyone suppressed their excitement and whispered to the three dogs.

However, everyone took this train for several days, most of the time it was day and night, and the train did not run during the day, so it was hidden, and it opened at night, in order to avoid the Japanese planes.

Sometimes at night, too, the train stopped suddenly halfway through, and when a signal was received from the front, the Japanese planes were coming again, and the officer on duty in each carriage reminded everyone to destroy everything that could shine.

After a while, there was the hum of airplanes in the sky, and several planes circled a few times, and finally left in a huff because they couldn't see the ground target in the dark.

Sangou thinks it's very strange, it's very dangerous to fly a plane in the dark, isn't the day plane afraid of hitting something? Everyone said that this devil's plane flew high, and the anti-aircraft machine guns on the train couldn't hit.

Everyone said, "Aren't you afraid of Chinese planes intercepting them?" ”

Sangou guessed and replied: "It is estimated that the main reason is that there are too few Chinese fighters, and they are concentrated on the front line, and this is a little behind, and the air force is even weaker. ”

"How do you know that our train is a military train?" Sangou was a little confused.

"I guess it was a traitor spy who revealed our news." Niu Gu also guessed.

"Traitor, I'm the most him. Mother. The ruthless traitor, the good man does not do, to be a dog. Big Potato said fiercely.

"yes, don't let me run into him, or I'll kill him with one shot." Dogleg slapped the rifle in his hand.

"Do you think those traitors still have the word traitor written on their faces? It's not done on the sly. The bamboo pole was inserted and said.

"Yes, we Chinese, we can't make powerful aircraft artillery, even if we still run to be traitors, it really shouldn't be."

"So, we have to beat the devils hard and drive them out of China, those traitors will not be able to stand, what do you have to say? Xiucai, tell me, you said that last time, I forgot. "Tienon is in full swing.
