"Brigadier Zhou, we may not be able to fight side by side with you." Yang Tian responded directly: "We suddenly received an order from Shangfeng to withdraw from Shanghai the night after tomorrow. ”

"Camp Commander Yang, you're not joking with me, are you?" Zhou Weihua stared at Yang Tian and asked.

"No kidding, what I said is true, we just received an order from the peak to withdraw from Shanghai, everything is arranged."

"No, you have just inflicted huge casualties on the enemy, and now is the time for morale to rise, don't you stay and resist the Japanese?"

"We also want to stay, but we can't disobey the orders of our superiors, everything is for the overall strategic arrangement."

"Are your superiors really willing to abandon the whole of Shanghai and retreat? Doesn't it hurt your conscience to abandon the people of Shanghai? Don't you know that this is a major strategic mistake? ”

"We know, but we don't know that this is a false strategic awareness."

"Well, since you are going to withdraw from Shanghai, then I have nothing to say, I want to wish you all the best."

"Brigadier Zhou, aren't you going to withdraw from Shanghai?"

"Why should I withdraw from Shanghai, now Shanghai is facing a crisis moment, we want to stay in Shanghai, we are different from you. I am a soldier, and my duty as a soldier is to protect my family and defend my country. Now that there is a difficult moment in Shanghai, I must fight bravely, resist the invasion of foreign enemies, and do my duty as a soldier. ”

"Then what if your superiors tell you to retreat, will you retreat?"

"I believe that my superiors will not have such a stupid approach, and I believe that they are concerned about the safety of the whole nation and the safety of the people in Shanghai, and they will not easily withdraw from the Shanghai battlefield."

"Brigadier Zhou, I'm talking about if."

"If there is really that step, then I will resign as a soldier, resist the Japanese as a son and daughter of China, and organize our forces to continue to resist to the end until the day of victory." If there really is such a day, Weihua will really do what he says, and he will definitely not give up on the people of Shanghai.

Zhou Weihua's purpose in traveling back to this period was to resist the Japanese and make fewer people suffer from the persecution of the war.

"Brigadier Zhou, there are really not many people who can compare to your courage." Yang Tian was deeply touched after hearing Zhou Weihua's words.

I didn't expect Brigade Commander Zhou to be such a person who understands righteousness and cares so much about his family and country.

In the face of this kind of feeling, Yang Tian can only deeply admire.

"Because I have the country and the people in my heart, our army is different from you, we have always done things for the people, and we have always worked hard to resist the Japanese." Zhou Weihua responded directly.

"Brigade Commander Zhou, your feelings are indeed worthy of our admiration." Yang Tian continued to respond, he also wanted to be such a person.

"You don't have to tell me that these are useless, since you have withdrawn from the Shanghai battlefield, then I wish you a smooth journey, we have severed all relations between us, since you have abandoned Shanghai, then we have the Eighth Route Army to hold the last line of defense." Zhou Weihua said with extremely firm eyes.

"Brigade Commander Zhou......" Yang Tian wanted to say something, but was directly interrupted by Zhou Weihua and said: "You don't have to say anything, come and see off the guests." ”

Yang Tian knew that Brigade Commander Zhou was angry, and he had no way to redeem this friendship, so he had no choice but to leave in the end.

However, Yang Tian was thinking about his respect and admiration for Zhou Weihua all the way back to the road.

Zhou Weihua is right, even if Shangfeng makes a wrong decision, as a Chinese, he should have his own ideas.

Yang Tian was making a decision in his heart, and finally bit his foot and decided to go back to explain the matter to Tuanzao. Ivy

……

"Comrade Captain, now that the national army is going to withdraw from Shanghai City, do we really have to resist to the end?" At this time, the minibus appeared next to Zhou Weihua.

"Of course, now that the national army has withdrawn from Shanghai, it is equivalent to abandoning the people of Shanghai, which is also the last confidence we give to the people of Shanghai. Zhou Weihua responded very directly.

"Then why don't we go back to Laiyang County and go back to find our troops?" The minibus knew that they had been out for more than half a year, and they should go back to find the troops.

"Of course, the troops have to be found, and we have to return to the team, but not now, not when there is a crisis in Shanghai." Zhou Weihua looked at the minibus and responded: "Now when the people of Shanghai need us the most, we can't leave it alone. ”

"But with our current strength, we can't fight the Japanese at all."

"If you can't fight it, don't you do it?"

"Do, how?"

"Of course, it is to mobilize the whole people of Shanghai to resist the Japanese aggression together, so that more people can join our anti-Japanese ranks, and if there are no weapons, the enemy will send us, this is the most basic thing we must do."

"But I don't know when this war will be."

"No matter what time it takes, we must insist on driving the Japanese away and let the whole country win, and this is the duty of our soldiers."

"Well, everything is under the orders of Comrade Captain."

"You go and summon Li Long, I have something to explain to him."

"Yes, I'll do it now."

After speaking, the minibus turned around and left the broken house to find Li Long.

……

Inside the building.

The atmosphere was once again peaceful.

In particular, Yang Tian truthfully reported Zhou Weihua's words to Xie Cheng, and now at this time, it really makes them feel a headache, especially Zhou Weihua doesn't understand.

"Tuanzuo, now that we are evacuating from Shanghai, I ask Tuanzuo to resign, I can't resist the Japanese as a soldier, then I can resist the Japanese as a Chinese man, I hope Tuanzuo can approve my resignation." Yang Tian didn't care about anything, and directly submitted his resignation to Xie Cheng.

What the?

The other officers all stared at Yang Tian with wide eyes, it was incredulous, could he have been brainwashed?

"Battalion Commander Yang, do you know what you're talking about?" Xie Cheng's eyes glared at Yang Tian angrily, he didn't expect Yang Tian to make such a decision.

"Tuanza, I naturally know what I'm talking about, and I know what I'm doing, since the people of Shanghai can't be defended from above, then I'll stay as an individual to resist the Japanese, Tuanza, you know, I'm a Shanghainese, and I can't bear the fall of my hometown." Yang Tian responded very directly.

"Yang Tian, I understand your feelings very well, we are all focused on the overall situation, I hope to get your understanding, we are not abandoning and hurting the people, but to prepare for a better fight in the future." Xie Cheng responded directly, he also felt a headache about Shangfeng's decision, as a soldier, he couldn't fight the Japanese on the front line.

"Tuanza, don't say these useless, I just want to quit and stay in my hometown and confront the Japanese, I don't want to abandon my hometown and family." Yang Tian's eyes were blazing.
