Chapter 47: Recuperation

This New Year has not been peaceful.

The dark clouds of war hung over Shanghai, prices soared, transportation was paralyzed, and the lives of Shanghai citizens were greatly affected, and the negative effects of the war began to be felt.

The concession is the calmest place, but it doesn't seem to be calm either.

The war that broke out in Paris in the Far East attracted the attention of the whole world. Countless dignitaries, countless observers, countless diplomats, all viewed the war with caution.

Japan seems to have found a way to deflect the economic crisis.

This war has added countless variables to the fate of China and Japan in the future.

What will the Chinese learn from this war?

Xiao Mubai didn't care about this, because he knew the final outcome. He's just an ordinary big soldier, and it's not his turn to worry about these things.

Xiao Mubai is concerned about when he will be able to return from injury, when he will fight again, and when he will be able to complete the task.

The system requires that this time you will stay in this world for a week, starting at noon on that day, that is, at noon on January 29, and until noon on February 5.

Since Xiao Mubai failed in the last mission, he has had an understanding of the 128 Song Shanghai Anti-Japanese War.

The 19th Route Army had more than 30,000 men in three divisions, and before the outbreak of the war, only two brigades of the 78th Division were stationed in Shanghai, and Xiao Mubai was in one of the 156th brigades.

The 156th Brigade defended the downtown area of Shanghai, and with the active cooperation of the 16th Military Police Regiment that came to take over the defense, it repelled the Japanese troops attacking from Hengbang Road, Qiujiang Road, and Baoshan Road, and recaptured Tiantongan Station and Shanghai North Railway Station on 29 July, that is, yesterday.

At midnight on 28 January, the Japanese Marines raided Zhabei in three directions, capturing Tiantongan Station and Shanghai North Railway Station. The Japanese army retreated from the concession after defeat, and through the "mediation" of the consuls of Britain, the United States and other countries, a ceasefire agreement was reached, and the troops were delayed and waiting for reinforcements.

The Nanjing government hastily moved to Luoyang on the 30th. By 2 February, the Japanese army would also send an additional 7,000 marines from China to support Shanghai.

On the 3rd, the Japanese broke the ceasefire agreement and attacked Zhabei again, but were repulsed by the defenders. On the 4th, the Japanese army launched its first general offensive, and the battle expanded to the Jiangwan and Wusong lines.

Although Xiao Mubai knew all this, he seemed to be unable to do anything. For there is neither an opportunity to reach the heavens to hear the case, nor is there any precise information that can help. Even if Xiao Mubai said to Commander-in-Chief Jiang of the 19th Route Army that the Japanese Army No. 2 would increase troops from Shanghai, how could he prove the source of this intelligence and how could he make Commander-in-Chief Jiang believe in the authenticity of the information.

Xiao Mubai has been in the field hospital for a day.

In one day, Xiao Mubai got acquainted with the beautiful female nurse, and knew that her surname was He, her ancestral home was Shaoxing, and others called her Nurse Xiao He.

It seems that because Chen Yiming is handsome, gentle and elegant, soft-spoken, approachable and polite, unlike some people who are short-tempered, rude and uneducated, or Xiao Mubai can speak a Shaoxing-flavored Wu Nong soft language, Xiao Mubai feels that Nurse Xiao He is different from him.

Maybe it was due to Xiao Mubai's narcissistic character, or maybe it was really just an illusion, Xiao Mubai felt the difference.

Xiao Mubai didn't know that people's temperament would be inadvertently revealed. Although he was only a big-headed soldier, Chen Yiming was a student before, and he had a bookish aura different from that of a soldier.

The same is true for Xiao Mubai, as a person of later generations, he inadvertently reveals that he is different. Some people say that this is the temperament of a great power, and without a strong country behind him, there will be no such self-confident temperament.

A hundred years ago, China was backward and ignorant, and the warlords were fighting against foreign enemies, and how weak it was. The temperament of the people of that era is really very different from that of later generations.

Xiao Mubai's temperament attracted the beautiful Nurse Xiao He, especially the wounded present were all Cantonese, only Xiao Mubai could speak Wu, which made her feel a little kind.

At this moment, Xiao Mubai was telling a joke, teasing Nurse Xiao He.

"Tang Sanzang said: 'Bajie, you run two steps to show the teacher'. Zhu Bajie said, 'Master, why do you suddenly want to see your apprentices running?' ’”

Tang Sanzang said......" Xiao Mubai sat down and paused.

"What did Tang Sanzang say?" Nurse Xiao He asked curiously with wide eyes.

"Tang Sanzang said: 'Hey, I'm ashamed! As a teacher, I grew up in the temple since I was a child, and I have never eaten pork or seen a pig run. ’”

Nurse Xiao He understood, and immediately laughed wildly, and the wounded next to her also laughed.

"No, my stomach hurts from laughing." The beautiful nurse Xiao He held her stomach, and her tears seemed to be falling.

Cheerful laughter dispelled the gloom in the ward, and it seemed that even the gloomy sky was brightening.

Just then, another female nurse ran in and turned on the radio on the table, and suddenly there was a voice inside.

A Fenghua accented in a Jiangsu-Zhejiang dialect voice, calm and powerful, said: "Since the officers and men of our 19th Route Army have risen up to defend themselves with loyalty and bravery, and the revolutionary officers and men of our army should fight for the country's personality, survive for the nation, and fulfill their responsibilities for the revolution. ”

When Xiao Mubai listened, he noticed that all the people put down what they were doing, concentrated, and listened to the speeches inside, and Nurse Xiao He, who was laughing just now, also listened attentively.

This seems to be Jiang Zhongzheng, Xiao Mubai came to this world, and it was the first time he heard his voice.

Throwing away the vicissitudes of history, it is now intuitively displayed in front of Xiao Mubai. Xiao Mubai feels like a black and white movie, it seems that he has also integrated into this world and truly become Chen Yiming.

"Temper and work hard, and enmity and hatred...... Stand by to save the dead"

"I am willing to swear to live and die with all the soldiers and do my duty"

The speech on the radio had stopped, but the aftermath still echoed in everyone's minds.

The release of "A Message to the National Soldiers" immediately made the people in the whole ward cheer and their spirits were greatly encouraged. They are not alone, they are not alone, the leaders are paying attention to them, paying attention to Shanghai.

It has to be said that after four years of hard work, Jiang Zhongzheng initially established his personal prestige. Despite the 918 incident, the fall of the three eastern provinces made him disgraced and gloomy. But at this critical juncture, not only the Kuomintang Central Committee, but also the people of the whole country seem to be the only person who can turn the tide.

Not only the soldiers are full of spirit, but even the citizens of Shanghai and the whole country. The people of the whole country expressed solidarity with the 19th Route Army and Shanghai in solidarity. Shanghai citizens donated materials and medicines, organized rescue teams and volunteers, and supported the 19th Route Army.

Immediately afterwards, the Nanjing Nationalist Government issued the "Declaration on Moving the Capital to Luoyang", stating that it would never give in. And the deployment of the military committee has also alarmed diplomats of various countries.

The 87th and 88th Divisions, the 4th and 47th Divisions, the 9th, 1st, 7th, 10th, and 83rd Divisions, as well as divisions of the various national armies, were all assembled and successively arrived in Ning or came to support. In addition, the Central Air Force and the Guangdong Air Force also arrived in Shanghai to participate in the battle, and the provinces of Sichuan, Hunan, Jiangxi, Guizhou, Hubei, Shaanxi, and Henan sent troops to serve as general reserves.

The Nationalist Government of Nanjing gathered heavy troops, and the spirit of resistance was unprecedentedly strong. This worries the Japanese government and impresses Western countries.

It seems that a Sino-Japanese war will break out.
