Wang Dayong didn't sleep all night, and his eyes were red and swollen when he woke up in the morning.

Yes, Wang Dayong cried last night, when he heard the low sobbing sound of the mountain baby on the radio, he felt that his heart was being torn by something at once, making him almost suffocated, and the sobbing of the mountain baby made him think of his mother, and then think of his troubled motherland.

As the editorial director of Ta Kung Pao, Wang Dayong suddenly felt that he should do something.

Therefore, as soon as he got to work, Wang Dayong knocked on the office of the editor-in-chief Zhang Jizuo, to Wang Dayong's expectations, Zhang Jizuo actually used a gramophone to record last night's battlefield phonograph, and was listening over and over again, when Wang Dayong knocked on the door, the radio was just at the end, and the announcer announced the bad news of the sacrifice of the mountain baby.

Wang Dayong wanted to speak, but Zhang Jizuo stopped him.

Zhang Jizuo took off his myopic glasses, took out a handkerchief and wiped his eye sockets, and said: "Dayong, I know what you want to say, what you want to say is exactly what I want to say, as a journalist, we must do something for our heroes, we can't let them shed both blood and tears." ”

Wang Dayong clenched his fists hard and said, "Brother Ji Zuo said well, we should indeed do something for the front-line soldiers, the question is what should we do?" ”

"Two things!" Zhang Jizuo said in a deep voice, "The first thing is to immediately send someone to Weinan to find Shanwazi's mother, in addition to telling her the bad news of her son, she also has to bring the pension issued to her by the national government, 500 yuan is not less, we can advance the money first, but the national government must be counted." ”

"I'll go myself!" Wang Dayong said, "Stay for a while and leave." ”

"Second thing." Zhang Jizuo also said, "Immediately send out editorial staff to take to the streets, interview hawkers, citizens and students, interview all the people who are willing to be interviewed, record their voices as much as possible, and then find a familiar radio station and send these voices to the front-line soldiers, so that they know that they are not fighting alone, behind them is the rear, behind them is the motherland, and 450 million compatriots are with them!" ”

"Understood." Wang Dayong nodded and said, "I'll arrange it." ”

The editorial staff of Ta Kung Pao quickly sprang into action and rushed to the streets.

However, the university students who are gathering in Wuhan at this moment have already taken the first step.

On the Zhongshan Square on Jianghan Road, it was already crowded at the moment, gathering more than 1,000 people, and most of them were college students who rushed to hear the news.

Whenever a nation is in danger, it is always their youth who are the first to stand up!

A young student wearing myopic glasses stood on the steps and spoke loudly and hoarsely: "Students, there is no longer a desk in the great China, and the Japanese invaders are trying to destroy our country and nation, destroy our culture, and try to uproot our long-standing Chinese civilization, can we agree?" ”

"Can't!"

"Can't!"

"Can't!"

All the students who heard the speech shouted loudly in unison.

"Yes, no, we can't, we won't agree!" The glasses student waved his arms vigorously and continued to shout hoarsely, "Students, in order to protect our country, our nation, and our civilization, our soldiers are fighting bloody battles against little Japan on the front line, can we just sit idly by?" ”

"Can't!"

"Can't!"

"Can't!"

More students joined in the shouting.

In the distance, more students flocked to this direction.

Wu Qian, Liang Yixiao was also mixed with these fanatical students, and ran forward.

"Yes, no, we can't!" The glasses students shouted hoarsely, but they still shouted in a hoarse voice, "Students, don't hesitate, don't hesitate anymore, sign up for the army immediately, we must go to the front line immediately, and work with our soldiers to protect this country, this nation, and Chinese civilization, we must let the front-line soldiers know that they are not fighting alone, behind them, there are still people!" Who's behind them?! ”

"We!"

"We!"

"We!"

All the students on the scene almost went crazy.

The glasses student waved his hand again, looked up to the sky and roared: "Go, join the army!" Fight the devil! ”

"Go to the army! Fight the devil! ”

"Go to the army! Fight the devil! ”

"Go to the army! Fight the devil! ”

Thousands of students gathered into a torrent in an instant, surging towards the recruiting office set up outside the gate of Zhongshan Park, and the recruiting office, which was originally a crowd, was immediately crowded.

The editor sent by Ta Kung Pao seized the opportunity to interview the male student with glasses who had just given a speech on the spot: "This classmate, we are the editor of Ta Kung Pao, we are recording a letter from the rear, and we want to send a message to the soldiers of the War of Resistance who are fighting bravely on the front line, do you have anything you want to say to the soldiers on the front line?" ”

There was a flash of light in the boy's eyes behind the lenses, and he said: "Please tell the soldiers on the front line, let them take it easy no matter what, don't kill all the little devils, otherwise, when I join the army and go to the front line, there will be no devils to kill, how boring and boring it should be?" ”

"Okay, we'll pass it on for you." Before he finished speaking, he saw that the boy was leaving, so he hurriedly asked again, "This classmate, haven't you asked your name yet?" ”

"Song Wen." The boy with glasses didn't look back, but left a tall back.

The editor looked at the tall back of the boy with glasses, and her pretty face suddenly turned slightly red.

However, the editor quickly put away her strange thoughts and continued to look for the next target.

(Dividing Line)

With a monstrous rage, He Guangming strode into the headquarters from the bombed gate.

The two guards standing guard tried to step forward to stop them, but they were pushed away by He Guangming without saying anything.

"Get out of here!" He Guangming pushed the guards away, looking at He Guangming's bloodstains and his face full of anger, the two guards didn't dare to step forward to stop him.

He Guangming drove straight in and came straight to the door of Xu Rui's office.

At this time, a tall figure stood in front of He Guangming.

"Get out of the way!" He Guangming raised his head and stared at the thunder coldly.

Lei Xiang lowered his head and looked at He Guangming with the same cold gaze, but did not get out of the way.

"I told you to get out of the way!" He Guangming spit out a mouthful of bloody thick phlegm, and said word by word, "Get out of the way!" ”

Lei Xiang was unmoved, just looked down at He Guangming coldly, but his right hand quietly stretched out to the box cannon on his waist.

Just when the two were about to clash, Xu Rui's voice sounded in the room: "Leizi, let him in." ”

Only then did Lei Xiang dodge and let He Guangming enter the office.

He Guangming entered Xu Rui's office, directly slammed his pistol on the large table, and then sat on the mahogany sofa opposite Xu Rui.

"This battle can't be fought!" He Guangming snorted angrily.

He Guangming has reason to be angry, yesterday and today, his 1st battalion has been holding on to the east of the city for 48 hours, more than 300 officers and soldiers have been beaten to less than 80 people, and the three company commanders Yao Lei, Gao Chu and Zhu Chen are all wounded, just like this, Xu Rui still refuses to give the 1st battalion some additional troops.

So much so that some people wondered if Xu Rui was going to use their 1st battalion as cannon fodder.

After all, their 1st Battalion was not born in the 79th Division, but was incorporated from the 180th Division, and it is not Xu Rui's descendant in any case.

Xu Rui looked at He Guangming from behind the big table, and was silent for a long time.

After a long time, Xu Ruicai said: "Lao He, do you think that I am using your 1st battalion as cannon fodder, and deliberately use the hands of little devils to consume you?" ”

He Guangming snorted and didn't answer, and if he didn't answer, he acquiesced.

"Looks like that's what you think." Xu Rui said, "Lao He, you can't help but think too narrowly. ”

He Guangming said: "I didn't think about it so much, I just don't understand, obviously there is a regiment of reinforcements, why can't we add a little manpower to our 1st battalion?" ”

Xu Rui said in a deep voice: "It's not time yet. ”

"Not yet?" He Guangming said miserably, "Regiment commander, our 1st battalion is almost exhausted!" If you don't give us 1 battalion to replenish manpower, tomorrow, only I, the battalion commander, will be left with the little demon and the three of them to fight back, perhaps, there is no need to wait until tomorrow, if the devil comes to another night assault tonight, our brothers will be reimbursed. ”

"I know, I know it's hard for you." Xu Rui said, "But now is really not the time. ”

He Guangming smiled miserably and asked excitedly: "Then I have to ask, when is the time?" ”

Xu Rui said: "When the officers and soldiers of the Anhui Central Advance Brigade are ready, I will naturally let them go." ”

"Ready?" He Guangming hurriedly said, "Commander, I don't understand, what is there to prepare for?" ”

"What is there to prepare?" Xu Rui said, "It's not that you haven't seen these recruits in the Anhui Central Advance Brigade, these recruits don't say that they have touched a gun before joining the army, and they haven't even touched a knife, expecting them to become soldiers when they wear military uniforms?" Expect them to be warriors after a few days of walking in the queue? Don't be naïve! ”

He Guangming was silent, because what Xu Rui said was indeed true.

These recruits in the Anhui Central Advance Brigade were basically peasants before they joined the army, and it was a dream to expect that wearing military uniforms would turn these honest peasants into soldiers! If you want to become a qualified soldier, you must not only train strictly, but also undergo the cruel tempering of actual combat.

But after thinking about it, He Guangming was still a little unconvinced, and said, "Who doesn't come here as recruits?" When Lao Tzu first joined the army, he didn't understand anything? Won't you be able to fight a few battles? ”
