Located on the north bank of Suzhou Creek, Sihang Warehouse is the reserve warehouse of four banks such as Mainland China and Jincheng, the west and north sides of the warehouse have been occupied by the Japanese army, and the south side is across the Suzhou Creek from the public concession, and the east side is also close to the public concession.

In the process of fighting and withdrawing, the headquarters of the 88th Division has been moved to this reinforced concrete building.
Lu Zhonglin said that Regiment Commander Xie had brought 400 people from the regiment headquarters into the warehouse, and everyone knew that these 400 people had truly become a lone army embattled.
Zhixian stood in the crowd watching the battle along the concession coast, and his heart was anxious.
I heard that as soon as it was early in the morning, the Japanese army had already discovered the Chinese defenders inside, and immediately set up a formation to attack, but they were blocked by our troops and killed dozens of enemies.
In the cafes along the river, British and American reporters are leisurely drinking coffee and writing reports, but on the north bank across the river, stray bullets are flying. The fire was all over the sky, just extinguished here, and rose again there, and it continued.
Zhixian stood with the Chinese watching the battle for a day, and just after the moonlight she realized that she was already a little untenable, but she didn't want to leave, rubbed her somewhat sore calf, and couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness in her heart.
Although the location of the warehouse is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the superiority of the Japanese army in strength and equipment is too obvious, and the fierce attacks have never stopped in a day, and how long can it last with only a limited number of 400 people?
She couldn't do anything...
In a trance, her head was dizzy, and her body was about to fall, but a strong hand was on her waist.
"Go back and rest."
Xu Shaozhen looked at her with some worry, she seemed to be thinner than before, thin as paper, as if a gust of wind could take her away, her appearance made him feel even more self-blame and pity in his heart.
Zhixian shook his head, tried to stand up straight, and smiled: "I'm okay." ”
After she finished speaking, the two of them were silent, and in the bright and extinguished night sky lit by artillery fire, her eyes looking at the north shore were as calm as water, and her slightly furrowed eyebrows betrayed her worries.
Xu Shaozhen wrapped his arms around her shoulders from behind: "You have been running in the hospital in the war zone for a month, and you are worried that you will have enough wounded and come back to worry about the war, when can you worry about yourself?" Be idle, be obedient, go back to rest, this battle will not be fought for long. ”
Zhixian stiffened, turned his head to look at him fixedly, and finally returned to his previous appearance without saying anything, standing like a sculpture.
Xu Shaozhen sighed, picked up the person horizontally and walked outside, Zhixian naturally refused, and asked him to let him go down. She is unwilling to leave, how can Xu Shaozhen be willing to let her continue to stand here?
He didn't sleep in the middle of the night with delicacies, and he ran for most of the night to find her in the dense crowd, naturally he wouldn't follow her temperament.
Out of the crowd, he put down the person in his arms, never thought that she was stubborn and turned her head and walked back without saying a word, Xu Shaozhen was also angry, and slapped her as soon as he pulled her back.
"He is in danger inside, and he may be sacrificed at any time, but Yan Zhixian, you are not a three-year-old child anymore, can you make him feel at ease if something happens to you at this time? If you don't think about others or yourself, you should think about him and take good care of yourself, okay?! ”
Zhixian recovered from a serious illness and treated the wounded in the war zone hospital for a whole month without rest, plus her complexion was already pale, and her face was already red after being slapped by Xu Shaozhen.
She didn't cover it with her hand, just stood in a daze, listening to Xu Shaozhen's half-angry and half-pleading words, tears fell down her cheeks.
"I don't know what I can do, I'm sorry."
Xu Shaozhen saw her for the first time at a loss with a weak look, which made him feel that she was weak like a wisp of smoke, and wanted to teach people to hold it in her arms and cherish it, but he was afraid that it would disperse if he touched it, and he would never see her again.
His fingers moved, and finally he raised his hand to wipe her tears: "You've done a good job, Zhixian." ”
"Yo, who provoked the little girl?"
However, before his hand touched the tears on her face, a male voice with a smile sounded, Xu Shaozhen was stunned for a moment, and slowly put down his hand.
At this time, his identity, and his behavior with her too closely, can only bring her endless trouble.
Zhao Yuanzhao walked to Zhixian's side, took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears: "Come, tell Brother Yuanzhao, who bullied you?" Brother Yuanzhao kicked him for you. ”
Looking at Zhao Yuanzhao, who was tightly blocking people behind him, Xu Shaozhen slowly shook his head and smiled, turned his head without saying anything, and walked to the car he parked behind him.
Dongzi spat at his back, and said viciously: "Take advantage of the national disaster to make some ill-gotten gains!" ”
Zhao Yuanzhao ignored Dongzi, and only looked at Zhixian who had taken his handkerchief and wiped away his tears. Those eyes that have always been smart and beautiful are still a little red and swollen, and she can rarely look for them when she is so quiet, but she is embarrassed to make fun of her.
The corners of his mouth smiled: "Zhao Mansion is just ahead, I wonder if Brother Yuanzhao has the honor to invite the little girl to stay for one night?" ”
With a "hmm", he took off his coat and put it on her, and then escorted her shoulders to the car.
Xu Shaozhen sat in the car, looking at her motionlessly, the eyes in his hands were already burning to his fingertips, but he didn't notice it, he saw her in a black nickname, and looked back.
What she said was, thank you?
Xu Shaozhen couldn't help but smile lightly, and gently pressed off the cigarette butt that was not smoked and only had a cigarette butt left.
Such a scene reminded him of the night in Yucheng that year, and through the fog, she told herself the word "leisure".
I don't know why, he has never had much memory, he remembered these two words for 12 years, and 12 years later, from the first sight of her slowly poking her head out of the quilt on a hospital bed in Paris, he knew that he would never forget this name for the rest of his life.
She was just a little girl that year, and she was kicked out of the house and immediately after being executed by the enemy, but she didn't shed a single tear all over her body, and now...
Xu Shaozhen closed her eyes a little tiredly, she must have loved him very much.
I have always been a gentleman who knows the beauty of adults, but when it comes to her, it seems that all the unprincipled and indifferent insistences have become like a rock.
As long as she is happy and happy, nothing matters anymore. When did you become so dedicated? He is a typical example of "rather teach me to bear the people of the world than let the people of the world bear me".
Xu Shaozhen smiled a little self-deprecatingly, probably, he owed her in his previous life.
