Ming Feng came to Political Commissar Huang's office and told Political Commissar Huang about Yulin's situation.

Political Commissar Huang couldn't help but sigh after hearing this: "It seems that Comrade Yulin has to suffer again." ”

Mingfeng was also saddened by the pain that Yulin had suffered one after another.

"Mingfeng, you came just in time, I still have a task to be handed over to you to complete."

"What task?" Ming Feng's eyes showed a grim gaze.

"Ming Feng, you know that the three major battles of our front have achieved very exciting victories, after Chiang Kai-shek retreated to Nanjing, he tried to rely on Shanghai's rich assets and long-built permanent fortifications to continue to resist stubbornly, buy time, rush to transport supplies, and cover the strategic retreat; They are also preparing to wreak havoc on cities and conspire to provoke international incidents and provoke armed intervention by some imperialists. Political Commissar Huang communicated the current situation with Xu Mingfeng.

"Well, it can be seen from the two pieces of intelligence that Townenburg's plan to destroy the city and the defensive deployment that they did have such an intention." Xu Mingfeng agreed.

"Yes, Tang Enbo, commander-in-chief of the Beijing-Shanghai-Hangzhou garrison, with six armies and a total of 20 divisions, equipped with tanks and armored vehicles, garrisoned the urban area west of the Huangpu River and the periphery of Taicang, Kunshan, Jiaxing, Jinshan and other places; Five divisions were used to garrison the area east of the Huangpu River. In addition, the First Military Region of the Navy and the Air Force stationed in the Navy will coordinate the defense. Its defense focus is on the suburbs of Puxi, such as Wusong, Yuepu, Yanghang, Liuhang, Dachang, and Pudong Gaohang and Gaoqiao, so as to shield Wusong and the urban area and ensure the unimpeded access to the sea. “

Xu Mingfeng nodded: "The enemy will not be willing to accept their defeat, they will definitely do a dying struggle." “

Therefore, the East China Bureau and the Third Field Army issued a series of instructions, demanding that preparations for the occupation of Shanghai be completed as soon as possible, not only to annihilate the defenders, but also to take over Shanghai in its entirety, so as to build the city and protect the foreign nationals. Commander-in-Chief Chen Yi said, "We are going to hunt rats in the porcelain shop." In terms of military deployment, we must first occupy Wusong and Jiaxing, blockade Wusongkou and Zhapu Haikou, cut off the enemy's retreat by sea, and prevent a large number of supplies from being transported away from the sea. ”

Ming Feng nodded frequently: "Attacking Shanghai is a big matter, and there must be a perfect strategy." ”

Political Commissar Huang continued: "Ming Feng, your task is to try your best to cut off the enemy and transport a large number of materials through Wusongkou, these are the wealth of the people and should belong to the people. ”

"Yes."

"There's one more task that you have to complete."

Xu Mingfeng looked at Political Commissar Huang with a stern expression.

"In the past period of time, the Kuomintang has frantically arrested our comrades, and I heard that the political prisoners in Tilanqiao Prison have become overcrowded, and the authorities have begun to prepare to shoot us comrades in prison, so we must rescue them as soon as possible, they are all excellent comrades of our party who have been tested for a long time and are the wealth of our party, and we cannot let them fall on the eve of victory."

"Yes, I will definitely do my best to rescue these comrades."

"Mingfeng, I know that you have asked the comrades of the Shanghai underground party organization to carry out the activities of protecting factories and schools, which is very good, we must prevent the enemy from sabotage and protect this prosperous and beautiful city. You see, we will fully support you if you need manpower. ”

"I want to take the tiger boy away, in addition, Commissar Huang, you give me a small team with combat effectiveness, after all, this is a tiger's mouth to pull teeth, and it can't be done without armed forces."

"Yes, I will send you all my elite soldiers here, they are all experienced combat heroes."

"Okay, Commissar Huang, when will you leave?" Ming Feng stood up and looked at Political Commissar Huang.

"The day after tomorrow."

"Yes." Ming Feng gave a military salute to Political Commissar Huang.

Mingfeng found Tiger Boy and told him the task assigned by Political Commissar Huang, and Tiger Boy happily accepted the order.

Katsuo learned that Tiger Boy was going to Shanghai again, and he was a little reluctant.

"Brother Tiger Boy, Nong must be careful."

"Don't worry, Katsuo, I'll be careful, you just wait for the news of our victory." Tiger Boy confidently held Katsuo's hand.

"Hmm." Katsuo nodded.

On the third day, Mingfeng and Tiger Boy came to the field hospital together to say goodbye to Yulin. After being treated by Dr. Miao, Yulin's condition has improved, and the number and duration of morphine attacks per day are decreasing and shortening, although the process is still extremely painful, but Yulin is fighting the disease with tenacious perseverance.

"Yulin, I'm here today to say goodbye to you."

"Mingfeng, where are you going?"

Yu Lin stood up, and the tiger boy hurriedly put the pillow on Yu Lin's back.

"Returning to Shanghai, the People's Liberation Army is about to liberate Nanjing, then it is not far from the liberation of Shanghai, the enemy is doing a dying struggle, and the Shanghai underground party organization must play its due role in this critical historical period." Ming Feng told Yu Lin the task assigned by Political Commissar Huang.

"Is Tiger Boy going with you?" Yu Lin glanced at the tiger boy.

"Well, Yulin, I really can't do without the tiger boy now, this kid is really a piece of jade, brave and strategic." Ming Feng cast an appreciative look at the tiger boy, and the tiger boy lowered his head embarrassedly.

"Tiger boy, your big brother Mingfeng loves him like his life, you follow Brother Mingfeng to work hard, you know?"

"Well, young master, I understand." Tiger Boy nodded repeatedly.

"Also, don't waste your slingshot skills, you have to practice them often. Acting under the noses of the enemy, sometimes it is your slingshot that can be used to make a big difference. ”

"Well, I practice every day." Tiger Boy proudly showed the lost slingshot to Yu Lin: "Young master, look, I have always kept this slingshot you made for me." “

Yu Lin took the slingshot and looked at it: "After so many years, it is still well preserved, but this cowhide seems to be a little old, and when I am healed, I will make you a new one." “

"It's a good slingshot, and I'm pretty good at it. Master, you don't know, when I went to bomb the arsenal, I lost this slingshot, and I was so anxious that I couldn't sleep for a few days. Fortunately, it was discovered by Brother Tan, and later he actually returned the slingshot to Brother Mingfeng. That's what I've lost. “

"Losing a slingshot is a trivial matter, but don't lose your life." Yu Lin touched the tiger boy's head lovingly.

Tiger Boy smiled stupidly at Yulin.

"Ming Feng, Tan Jingting has already joined our camp, there are some things you can discuss with him about countermeasures." Yu Lin took out a letter from under his pillow and handed it to Xu Mingfeng: "By the way, Mingfeng, if you go to Shanghai, give this letter to Tan Jingting, he will understand my intentions." Zhu Hongda is currently Tan Jingting's biggest obstacle, and if Zhu Hongda is removed, according to the current situation, Tan Jingting can firmly sit in the first position in the Secrecy Bureau, which will be extremely beneficial to your future tasks. Commissar Huang had already read this letter, and he agreed with me to do so. ”

Ming Feng took the letter from Yu Lin's hand, unfolded the letterhead, and read it. Then fold the letter again and put it in the envelope.

"Yulin, your brain really doesn't stop for a moment, don't worry, I think this is also Tan Jingting's wish." Ming Feng shook Yulin's hand with emotion: "Have you been better in the past two days?" ”

"Much better, Dr. Miao said, and in a few days you will be able to quit. Oh, Mingfeng, don't tell Brother Tan about my morphine withdrawal. He will blame himself when he finds out, and you tell him that I am recovering. ”

"Okay, I see, when you recover, we'll fight together."

Yu Lin nodded, and the hands of the two were clasped together.

Osmanthus was about to give birth, early in the morning, Osmanthus shouted that her stomach hurt, and Sister-in-law Zhang hurriedly called Tan Jingting.

After receiving the call, Tan Jingting rushed to St. Mary's Hospital.

"Osmanthus, don't be nervous, I'll be waiting for you outside the operating room." Tan Jingting comforted the osmanthus.

"Jing Ting, Jing Ting." Osmanthus sweated in pain.

Osmanthus was pushed into the operating room, and Tan Jingting waited anxiously at the door of the operating room.

After waiting for a long time, he didn't see the osmanthus come out, Tan Jingting couldn't help but be anxious, pacing back and forth at the entrance of the hospital.

Suddenly, the door to the operating room opened, and a nurse walked out.

"Who is Wu Guihua's family?"

Tan Jingting hurriedly walked over: "I am." ”

"Your wife has a difficult birth, the fetus is not in the right position, the doctor asked me to ask, is it to protect the adult or the child?"

Tan Jingting was stunned there, stupid, the scene from a few years ago seemed to be repeated, he squatted down, holding his head with both hands, and tears couldn't help but flow: "I want both, I ......want both, I want both."

Suddenly, another nurse ran out of the operating room: "Mr. Tan, your wife asked you to go in." ”

Tan Jingting wiped his tears, walked into the operating room in three steps and two steps, and saw Osmanthus inhaling and exhaling painfully.

"Osmanthus, you have suffered." Jing Ting held Osmanthus tightly.

"Jing Ting, protect the child, you are so old, it is time to have a child." Osmanthus gasped and looked at Tan Jingting in pain.

"No, osmanthus, without you, only me and the child are left, and I can't live this day." Tan Jingting burst into tears.

Tan Jingting turned to take the doctor's hand: "Doctor, please, no matter what, save my wife and child." ”

"The mother is too old, and it is the first child, the fetus is too big, and the fetal position is not correct, I am afraid that the fetus will suffocate after a long time."

"Then let's protect my lord." Tan Jingting made the final decision.

"No, doctor, protect the child, you must protect the child." Osmanthus begged the doctor.

Just then, Mark came in.

Seeing Tan Jingting's heartbroken appearance, Mark hurriedly patted him on the shoulder.

"You guys go out first, Doctor Qin, I think it's better to have a caesarean section."

"But I'm not sure about a caesarean section." Dr. Qin's face was embarrassed.

"I'm here to help you. Anna, you go and prepare. ”

Tan Jingting pinned all his hopes on Mark.

The operating room was busy, and Tan Jingting sat in the corridor, watching the doctors and nurses shuttling back and forth.

Ten hours have passed since Osmanthus was pushed into the operating room. Tan Jingting stood for a while, sat for a while, looked in the crack of the door of the operating room, and paced back and forth for a while. The heart is anxious, and it is difficult to sit still.

Tan Jingting couldn't help but think of the scene when Mei Yongqing had a difficult birth and fell into his arms and swallowed his breath, and suddenly felt a chill spread from his heart to his back, and then from his back to his whole body, and he felt cold in his hands and feet.

Tan Jingting walked to the window and lit a cigarette, but his hands kept shaking, and even the long cigarette ash trembled.

The door of the operating room finally opened, and a nurse came out, holding a baby in her hand: "Mr. Tan, your wife gave birth to a big fat boy for you." ”

Tan Jingting excitedly took the baby from the nurse's hand: "I, Tan Jingting, finally have a son, how is my wife?" ”

"Good, we're over the danger period."

Another nurse came out: "Mr. Tan, your wife gave birth to a girl for you." ”

Tan Jingting was stunned for a moment.

"Your wife is pregnant with a dragon and phoenix." The nurse smiled and explained to Tan Jingting.

Tan Jingting took his daughter from the nurse again, holding a baby in one hand, Tan Jingting looked at this son and a daughter, these two pink babies are like two lovely angels, experiencing great sorrow and joy, Tan Jingting feels that he is the luckiest person in the world.

Osmanthus was pushed out of the operating room, and Tan Jingting immediately stepped forward.

"Osmanthus, you have worked hard, look, our son and daughter." Tan Jingting cried with joy: "Osmanthus, how can you give birth so much?" God willing, let me Tan Jingting have both children and daughters. ”

Osmanthus looked at a son and a daughter, and tears of happiness flowed down: "Jing Ting, you and I have finally become father and mother, and our family of four will never be separated again." ”

"Well, never apart."

"Jing Ting, after I finish the confinement, let's go to Longhua Temple to burn incense and make a vow, thank you for the old abbot's reminder, accumulate good deeds and virtues to let us survive this catastrophe."

"Well, okay, let's take the kids with us."

Osmanthus was discharged from the hospital, and the originally deserted Tan family suddenly became lively, and the cries of the two children came and went, but in Tan Jingting's ears, it was a natural sound.

With these two children, Tan Jingting is in a great mood, often whistling, humming small songs, teasing the children, and life is both full and fun.
