Chapter 80: Winter in Shanghai
Zhixian didn't expect that this disturbance became the wings of a butterfly flapping gently, and a small westerly wind blew in Shanghai. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
"The Japanese Overseas Chinese Youth Comrades Association burned down the Sanyou Industrial Society late at night and killed innocent members!"
"More than 1,000 overseas Japanese formed a march to demand the intervention of the Japanese military marines!"
This winter in Shanghai is exceptionally cold.
Huang Jinfa saw the news in the newspaper that the Japanese consul asked the mayor to apologize, and he angrily knocked on the crutch: "I heard that the 19th Route Army has strengthened martial law for more than a week, and I think Shanghai is also very dangerous!" β
Zhixian lowered her eyes and didn't say anything, she knew that what Uncle Huang said was right, there were still three days left before the wedding date that was scheduled, but since the last goodbye, she had never seen Yanzhi's face again.
She was in the room that night, but someone came to report that General Qu was outside.
When Zhixian opened the door, he saw that he was already standing at the door, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and his military uniform was straight. He also had the cold outside on him, and she didn't shy away from it, pulling him into the room.
"Junzuo, why should the commander ask the entire 19th Route Army to immediately withdraw its defenses!"
"The Japanese army has frequent provocations in Shanghai, and once it is not handled properly, war will break out in an instant, and I hope that the 19th Route Army will understand the painstaking efforts of the central government, withdraw the troops to the Nanxiang area, and report the news to Commander-in-Chief Chiang."
Before yesterday's report, Xu Guofan had already been shattered by the phone in the war room, but as Commander Cai said, the Japanese side did not take the initiative to attack, and although it could not be withdrawn, it had to be withdrawn.
As soon as the news came out, he decided to slow down the speed of the defense, strengthen the vigilance, and immediately counterattack once the Japanese attacked.
As the backbone and the highest combat readiness commander, he has been sleeping in the war room, making plans over and over again in front of the defense map. Tonight, Lin Yiguo casually said that the moonlight was very bright, and when he looked up and saw the moon, he immediately remembered her curved eyebrows, so he immediately came to the Huang Mansion, and he was really standing in front of her at this moment.
Seeing that he was just staring at herself, she smiled and said, "Yanzhi, you don't know me anymore?" β
The cold air on his body had been warmed by the fire in the room, Qu Shizheng stepped forward and hugged her into his arms: "Zhixian, I'm afraid our wedding is going to be postponed." β
She had a premonition that the news of the Japanese Navy's warships docking at the coast had been overwhelming all over the world recently, and it was self-evident how tense the situation had been, except for the concessions, where soldiers with spears on their backs could be seen in an orderly manner.
Really said this sentence from his mouth, Zhixian was inevitably a little disappointed in his heart after hearing it, Qu Shizheng took in the momentary loss in her eyes, and hugged the person tighter: "Zhixian, soldiers have the duty to defend the land, I'm sorry." β
"Yanzhi, you told me that you were sorry, did you not want to marry me?" Zhixian raised his head, and a pair of watery eyes were full of smiles: "I know, the wind and clouds are evil, the land will sink, and the tide will turn around in the soldiers; Righteousness, strong spirit, and the root of the true flat tree..."
Although her voice has the softness of a woman, it is more of a calm and firm momentum, and she suddenly feels that women do not let her eyebrows go. Qu Shizheng slowly let go of his hand and looked at her seriously.
This is the school song of Nanyuan Aviation School, which is written by him, but now, it is sung by her mouth.
"Yanzhi, this is what I read from the newspapers when I was in Paris. After learning the piano, I slowly hummed this song out, with blood in my chest and a sharp blade in my palm, I am your fiancΓ©e, so I should naturally be of the same heart and mind as you. β
"Yanzhi, I'll wait for you to come back."
"Life should come back, death should be Sauvignon Blanc. Idle, obediently stay in the Huang Mansion. β
He didn't dare to tell her to wait for him to come back, because, for soldiers, dying on the battlefield is already an ordinary thing full of glory, not to mention the beauty and famous generals since ancient times, and they don't see white heads in the world.
Qu Shizheng has never considered the issue of life and death, but now, in his arms, she is obviously reluctant to let him leave, but she still sings the school song of the military academy, saying that she understands that he seems to be a little afraid of death.
His lips fell on her heart, and the orange light shone on his deeply contoured face, unusually handsome.
And the distant night, the darkness that could be reached at hand, slowly spread into the distance, as if trying to prevent the arrival of tomorrow with all its might.
The warmth she gave him was suddenly blown away by the coldness outside.
The lights in the war room were on all night long, and as soon as Qu Shizhengfu entered the door, his subordinates immediately greeted him and saluted: "Report to Junzuo, why should the chief send an urgent telegram!" β
"Say."
"Commander He asked the 19th Route Army to endure and seek perfection, not to act rashly, and try to avoid conflicts with the Japanese army, so as not to hinder national affairs."
Avoiding conflict? The 78th Division had already handed over the defense area to the 16th Regiment directly under the Nationalist Government, which was close to the area around the Japanese Concession, and Japan had also sent troops to be stationed nearby on the grounds of helping to guard the Public Concession.
"Junzuo, I think the government's attitude towards the War of Resistance is very negative, once Shanghai fights, can we hold it?"
"Success or failure is not enough, life and death are not enough, and it is the duty of Chinese soldiers to resist Japan and defend the land and resist foreign aggression," Qu Shizheng said: "The anti-Japanese telegram drawn up by Commander Cai and Staff Officer Lin last night was telegraphed to the whole country. β
Lin Yiguo's eyes also sank, Miss Yan's communist - spy turmoil has not completely subsided, and the young marshal is going to send a telegram to force the Nanjing government to resist Japan, after this, I am afraid it will be more and more difficult.
"Outside the nickname, General Qu of the National Government, Commander Dai of the Songhu Garrison, and Commander Cai of the 19th Route Army issued a joint telegram!"
"Shi Zheng and others belong to soldiers, and they only know that they can defend themselves and defend the land, and they are doing their duty, and they can't give up. Resist to save the country, even if you sacrifice to one person and one bullet, you will never back down! β
In the office of the highest administrative level of the Nationalist Government on the Yangtze River in Nanjing, the sound of slapping the table was once again heard.
"If you want to go outside, you must first settle inside, and now the communists and bandits in the Henan and Hubei areas are too active, where is there any extra strength to prevent trouble before it happens?" The man in the long shirt had a gloomy face: "Qu Shizheng's courage is getting bigger and bigger, and this halberd is he trying to rebel!" Niang Pixi, not like words, not like words! β
"Principal, the student is foolish, it's better to let Huang Jinfa go," Dai Boli held his hat in one hand and slowly raised his head: "I heard that Chief He has personally gone to the military headquarters of the 19th Army, but he was sent away by Commander Cai's hand, Huang Jinfa has some reputation in Shanghai, I heard that Miss Yan is Huang Jinfa's adopted daughter." β
"Oh? Is there such a thing? Your reminder, I just remembered that I hadn't greeted the deceased for some days, and picked up the Shanghai Huang Mansion. β
