Chapter 12 Nanjing Love Story

Fifteen minutes later, Zhang Yun rushed out of the bar door in embarrassment.

For fifteen minutes, he first tried to reason with the enraged Sichuan soldier, but he soon found that he had instead switched back more grenades (beer bottles).

So I had to fight......

As a result, this time, he once again learned the unity of the Chinese fighting - in less than 3 minutes, groups of Sichuan soldiers rushed into the bar, all of them from the 338th Regiment, and it was conservatively estimated that there must be a platoon!

The "great benefactor" became the "great enemy", and the outnumbered "Gang of Four" had no choice but to flee......

The hero turned into a bear, Zhang Yun ran for his life in a panic on the streets of Yangon at night, and it took a lot of effort to shake off the "tail" chasing behind his buttocks, and when he stopped to look, he had run away with his partners.

"Damn, it's a." He thought to himself breathlessly. The already heavy mood is now even more depressing.

"Lao Tzu, who is this recruiting......

But complaining is complaining, and now he can only drag back with heavy steps.

β€»β€»β€»

The streets are as calm as a basin of water, and with curfews and light controls still in place, there are hardly any pedestrians in sight, and the metropolis of nearly 600,000 people seems to have fallen into a complete slumber, except for a few places like "Night Returnees".

"Jon~!"

Someone behind him suddenly stopped him, Zhang Yun turned around and found that it was David and George.

These two guys were also not lightly injured.

"I said~ These Chinese are too fierce to fight!" George ran out of breath, "Let's still use fists, they actually use bricks!" Slab bricks! ”

"It's, it's too foul!" David was also panting tiredly, "I...... I'm going to have to complain to them! ”

As a result, Zhang Yun blocked their indignation with one sentence:

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I had noticed the number on their chests, and the leader was their chief. ”

David and George glanced at each other, and both saw three vertical lines in each other's faces.

"They're too unreasonable!" David was still indignant, "Didn't you just kiss it, as for it?" ”

"It's so savage!" George also felt the same way, "I used to visit my neighbor, Mrs. Denison, and I kissed her, and I didn't see Mr. Denison~"

Zhang Yun sighed and decided to give up explaining the cultural differences between the East and the West with his partners.

"What's wrong with you? What about Kip? He asked.

"Don't worry, Jon. Kip is black, big night's ...... Don't worry if he can't run away. ”

The three of them smiled very tacitly, and began to walk slowly along the empty street with a tacit understanding.

Surrounded by mountains on three sides, the tall mountains and plateaus act as a barrier to the cold air from the Asian continent in winter, while in the south, the humid air from the Indian Ocean flows through the port without the blockage of the mountains, creating Yangon's characteristic warm winds.

Zhang Yun had something in his heart, and he was blown on his face by the humid and warm wind, and he suddenly felt indescribably bored.

George suddenly spoke: "I really don't understand: how could such a beautiful girl fall in love with such a rude man." ”

When he said this, there was an unwilling look in his eyes, as if all the beauties in the world should be worthy of him.

"Why do I smell a sour smell?" Zhang Yun asked obliquely.

"I'm feeling sorry for my money!" George took out his wallet, "The salary I just received today turned out to be all in vain!" ”

He was talking about a bottle of Napoleon from 1885 that he had opened for the girl, and it all ended up hitting him on the head.

"You should be glad that I helped you share half of the firepower," Zhang Yun said, "otherwise you'll even have to ride next month's salary - in the hospital." ”

George laughed heavily, and laughed very lewdly......

"Great grace is not grateful," he put his arm around Zhang Yun's shoulder, "next time I will introduce you to a girl." ”

Zhang Yun knocked his hand off.

"I don't want you to use the rest." He said, "Besides, I don't want to be in a relationship." ”

George immediately glared at a monster-like expression: "You won't, right?" Do you really want to be an ascetic in the Middle Ages? ”

Zhang Yun rewarded him with the back of the head. George's words made him suddenly think of that personβ€”the woman who lived in another time and space, in another era, and would never see him again.

Lin Xiang......

In his memory, the bright-eyed girl gently held his arm, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised with a voice like a silver bell:

"Na~ Zhang Yun, is the wedding banquet set at Sheraton?"

He turned his head sideways, not wanting others to see the expression on his face, but George glared at him unrelentingly, and finally showed ^_^ a look of sudden realization.

"Jon, you don't have the same grief as David, do you?"

This guy's instincts in a way are simply outrageous.

"By the way, David," Zhang Yun pulled the focus away from himself, "what sad past do you have?" How come I never heard you talk about it? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Don't listen to his nonsense," David was silent for a moment, "that's 37 years...... I was in Nanjing at the time. ”

His voice sounded a little distant.

"I'm with the Colonel. At that time, the colonel was invited by Madame Chiang to China to serve as an air force adviser, and as his assistant, I supervised the construction of an air defense early warning network in Nanjing. Later, the Japanese went on a killing spree in Nanjing. I was having breakfast at home that day, and the door was knocked open, and a Chinese girl rushed in and begged me to save her. ”

Zhang Yun was gloomy...... He just wanted to pull the topic away from himself, but it turned out to be such a heavy story.

Nanking......

Although he had not experienced the horrific massacre, he had visited the Nanjing Massacre Memorial and knew how heinous the atrocities of the Japanese army had beenβ€”they had turned the whole of Nanjing into a living hell, where civilization was wiped out and innocent civilians became their toys. In addition to killing and adultery, people in Nanjing are powerless to resist at all, and they are so pale and powerless to flee and call for help.

At that time, the United States had not yet participated in World War II, and Japan did not dare to offend the American government because of its dependence on resources, so many desperate Nanjing citizens turned to the Americans for help.

"I decided to help her," David continued to tell his story, "and I explained to the Japanese that this woman was my wife, but they didn't believe her, so I kissed her." That's why they were reluctantly let go. ”

"And then?" Zhang Yun asked.

"Then I stayed at home, and you probably didn't know that there were murders, robberies, rapes everywhere out there," David said...... All kinds of sins pervade the city, and it is dangerous to leave. ”

Zhang Yun didn't answer, they sat down on the stone pier by the pier, and looked at the quiet and peaceful Yangon Port under the hazy moonlight.

"Chaos, death and crying...... At that time, all that was left in Nanjing was these. David continued, "She was very scared. I did everything I could to take care of her and I wanted to ...... I'm in love with her. ”

"So...... Did you propose? Zhang Yun asked.

David nodded: "There was an incident that made me realize that my apartment was not safe - it was on the seventh night that I took her in, a group of Japanese soldiers took advantage of the night to climb into the fence of Jinling Women's Liberal Arts College opposite me and captured several female students...... What happened later, I think you understand too. It was Minnie Weitling's church school, a place protected by the U.S. Embassy. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I've heard of this guy. Zhang Yun said.

He didn't have a deep impression of Minnie Weitling, but he also knew that she had used her identity to protect many Chinese women from the Japanese army.

It's a pity......

It seems that her own views are still limited.

"That's when I realized that only the embassy was the safest place." "Because I can't stay at home 24 hours a day, what if the Japanese soldiers come when I'm not there?" At that time, there were Japanese people hanging around downstairs in my house every day. So I took her to the embassy, and I thought that no matter how arrogant the Japanese soldiers were, they would not openly go to the American embassy to arrest people. However, our government was afraid of angering the Japanese, and the embassy was only willing to accept American citizens and their families, so ......"

He shrugged, "I'll marry her." ”

"But how come I've never heard you mention her?" Zhang Yun asked.

"Because the next day I was ordered to go back to China." "I never had the chance to go to China again, and I never saw her again, and the people at the embassy said she left after the Nanjing Massacre, and they didn't know where she went." I've tried to hear from her, but nothing has been heard. So I made up my mind to join the colonel's volunteer team, and I was going to come to China to find her. ”

At this, the flight instructor chuckled softly - a smile full of helplessness.

Love in war is always short-lived, short-lived and poignant.

Now that China is full of gunsmoke, how easy is it to find someone? Even if there is no war, it would be a needle in a haystack to find someone out of a population of 40,000.

He opened his mouth to speak, but was interrupted by David.

"I know what you're trying to say," he said, "I admit it's difficult, but it's always a hope, isn't it?" You may not believe it, but I always thought I would see her again - not why, just believe. ”

David lit a cigarette, took a deep puff, and stared at the mountains in the distance.

Zhang Yun knew that it was Nanjing.
