(Girls' Literature)

“…… Our army resisted the violent sun. Fought hard for more than a month. With the sharpness of the enemy's armament. Agility in transportation. Rely on our people's assistance. Soldiers are brave and brave. Hand-to-hand combat. Casualties. It can still defeat the enemy's front repeatedly. The Japanese invaders increased by two divisions. And I'm no longer ......"

Tingting's hand holding the newspaper has been shaking. Her voice sounded choked.

“…… The whole army had to retreat to the second line of defense on the night of 1 March. Engage in defense. This army is determined to exhaust all the bullets. Don't share a day with the Violent ......"

She couldn't read it anymore. I stood up trembling all over. Turn your head to look at Yisheng. "Aunt Bo. Is Shanghai about to become the second Northeast? ”

Yisheng sighed in his heart. From Tingting's hands. Took the newspaper that had been unconsciously crumpled into a ball. Gently but firmly, he said, "No." Tingting. You know. This is not a rout. Rather, it is our army in order to preserve its fighting strength. Girls' literature took the initiative and planned retreat. is a transfer to a new line of defense. The fighters are still there. Your Uncle Bo is also there. You have to trust them. You have to believe. While. Don't be afraid of running out of firewood. ”

When Yisheng went downstairs. Girls' literature was updated for the first time, and I just met Lu Fengyang. He saw that she was going out. He said, "I didn't tell you. There are already Japanese agents staring at you. If it's okay. Try to go out as little as possible. ”

"But I'm in trouble. Yisheng smiled. And lightly. "Don't worry. I'll be careful. ”

She followed her grandson. Condolences to every soldier. She looked at the weather-beaten, tired faces. and the heaviness and self-reproach in their eyes. Forced to smile to himself. Gently but firmly opened his mouth. Say it to them.

"Warriors. It was you who fired the first shot of the Chinese regular army against the Japanese invading army. Girls' literature has been written since the First Sino-Japanese War. The first page of the glorious history of resisting violence but the enemy. I thank you. Thank you. The country thanks you. The people thank you. ”

There was a look of emotion on the faces of everyone present. Girls' literature was updated as soon as possible, and Commander-in-Chief Jiang stepped forward. gave her a standard military salute. She smiled at him. And he lowered his gaze slightly. A horizontal heart. finally spoke: "Mrs. Bo." Please come with me. ”

Her heart sank for no apparent reason. I don't speak either.

Commander-in-Chief Jiang took out an envelope from his bosom. Both hands were handed over. "Ma'am. This is General Bo's suicide note. ”

Her face turned pale. Staring at the envelope. But he refused to reach out and take it. Then Commander-in-Chief Jiang saw her like this. Thought she had misunderstood. Hurriedly spoke: "Madam. Make no mistake about it. On the eve of the start of the war, both soldiers and generals would write suicide notes. It's conventional. General Bo was not martyred. Only when I was separated from him. I have asked me to pass on this letter to you. ”

Yisheng smiled sadly. Under his eyes, there was a severe pain like shattering his bones. "I know. But since he asked you to pass it on to me. I must know that I may not be able to come back. ”

"Madame......" Commander-in-Chief Jiang had a heavy heart. But I don't know how to comfort the young and prominent woman in front of me.

Yisheng closed his eyes. Open it again. But he opened his mouth word by word to ask, "Where is he now?" ”

"Liuhe. ”

"Who gave the order to retreat. ”

"It was General Bo himself. ”

"That being the case. Why doesn't he come with you? Instead, I want to go to Liuhe. Yisheng was anxious and puzzled. She knew that her husband was not a willful person. But why did he make such a move?

"After General Bo explained everything properly that day. He told me about his decision to go to Liuhe. I also tried to persuade him at the time. But it didn't work. Commander-in-Chief Jiang paused. Speak slowly. "I just knew. General Bo's younger brother is in the Independent Regiment. And General Bo in order to take care of the overall situation. He did not hesitate to use the independent regiment as bait to contain the enemy's main force......"

Commander-in-Chief Chiang's words did not continue. Yisheng nodded slowly.

What can be done for the country. He's done it all. The rest. It is his duty to be a son of man and a brother.

"Madam......" Commander-in-Chief Jiang was a little embarrassed. He passed the envelope in her direction a little more.

Yisheng still didn't answer. Even subconsciously took a step back. Her sight. Slowly moved from the letter to Commander-in-Chief Jiang's face. A resolute light gradually appeared in his eyes. "Burned it. I don't need to look at it. All his words. You should have said it to me personally. Even in this world, you can't say it. Huangquan Road. I'll also go after him to ask for clarification. ”
