Chapter VI Petitions for Processions

This voice is so familiar, Lu Yulin shouted excitedly: "Shuxian, I'm Yulin, don't you know me?" ”

"Yulin? Are you Lu Yulin? The gun moved away from Lu Yulin's head. Lu Yulin turned around, and it turned out that it was Shuxian's sister Shuyan who held the gun to his head.

"It's really you, Yulin, you're taller, stronger, and darker than before. And you're wearing this uniform, and I really didn't recognize you for a while. ”

"Shuyan, why are you? How do you have a gun? How did you end up here? ”

"Yulin, I won't be able to tell you clearly for a while, you go into the house first."

Xu Shuyan took Lu Yulin into a house with a courtyard. Five or six young men ran out of the room, led by a swarthy, stocky man.

"Shuyan, who is this, how did you bring him?" The man looked Lu Yulin up and down vigilantly.

"Mingfeng, this is Lu Yulin, my sister Shuxian's boyfriend, a student of the Whampoa Military Academy."

"Hello, my name is Xu Mingfeng." Xu Mingfeng stretched out his hand.

"Hello. My name is Lu Yulin. Lu Yulin also stretched out his hand.

Xu Mingfeng wanted to give Lu Yulin a try, and shook Lu Yulin's hand hard, and Lu Yulin immediately understood the other party's intentions, so he also secretly competed and held Xu Mingfeng's hand hard.

"I said that the two of you hate to see each other late, how to shake hands endlessly." Shuyan watched carefully from the sidelines, knowing that the two men were secretly competing.

Hearing Xu Shuyan say this, the two hurriedly let go, and both sides left white fingerprints on the back of each other's hands.

"Hello, brother, I heard Shuyan talk about you. How did you come to Nanjing? Xu Mingfeng poured Yu Lin a cup of tea.

Lu Yulin took the teacup and took a sip: "Our military academy has moved to Nanjing, and it is now called the Central Army Military Academy." In a few months, I will be graduating. ”

"And what are your plans after graduation?"

"I want to go to the 19th Route Army of my fellow countrymen Jiang Guangnai and Cai Tingkai. General Chiang and our family still live on the same street as our neighbors. Lu Yulin is quite proud.

"Jiang Guangnai and General Cai Tingkai are both bloody soldiers, it should be a good choice for you to go to them." Xu Mingfeng bowed his head in approval.

"Hey, Shuyan, what's the matter with you? How can there still be guns? Lu Yulin looked at Shuyan and Mingfeng suspiciously.

"Yulin, you can only rot in your stomach about our meeting today, and you can't say anything about anyone when you meet. Who we are, you will naturally know later. ”

"Can't even Shuxian say it?"

"It's better not to say it."

"So is she also in Nanjing now? I haven't heard from her for almost a month. ”

"No, she's still in college in Shanghai."

"Will we ever see each other again?"

"We're all passionate young people, and we're all playing for this country. Brother, maybe we'll meet again in the future. ”

"Okay, we'll see you later." Lu Yulin shook hands with Xu Mingfeng again.

In the auditorium of the Central Army Military Academy in Nanjing, a graduation ceremony is underway.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today is an important day for you, because you are about to graduate from this military academy, in the past few years, you have learned all kinds of military skills in the military academy, you will be our country's military talents, in the future, you will lead the soldiers to fight on the battlefield to defend the country. Students, as we all know, our country is currently in a critical juncture, warlords are divided, entangled with each other, and the Japanese are eyeing the northeast of our country, the people are not living, as the saying goes, troubled times produce heroes, now is the time for you to show your talents, I hope that all of you here can devote what you have learned in your life, help the poor, help the common people, and live up to the country's high expectations for you. ”

Director Chen's resounding words made the students' blood boil.

The graduates came to the stage one after another to receive their graduation certificates. Lu Yulin received the graduation certificate from Director Chen and solemnly gave a military salute. Director Chen also returned the salute and greeted him with a smile of satisfaction.

After the graduation ceremony, a party was held, and Lu Yulin took the stage to play Verdi's "Triumphal March", which was invigorating.

Finally, accompanied by Lu Yulin's piano, all the officers and soldiers sang the school song of the Whampoa Military Academy under the impassioned command of Director Chen.

The tide of anger is surging, the party flag is flying,

This is the Whampoa of the revolution.

Doctrine must be implemented, discipline must not be relaxed,

Prepare to be the vanguard of struggle.

Fight a bloody road and guide the oppressed people,

Hand in hand, moving forward,

The road is not far, don't be surprised, dear and sincere, continue to keep forever.

Carry forward the spirit of our school! Carry forward the spirit of our school!

On the playground, Lu Yulin and Tan Jingting looked at the recruits who were training with emotion.

"Brother Tan, we have finally graduated."

"Yes, I didn't expect to leave the military academy so soon, I really miss the life of the military academy."

"Come, let's go to the school gate and take a group photo together."

"Good. Walk. ”

Lu Yulin and Tan Jingting left a group photo at the gate of the military academy.

"Brother Tan, where are you going after graduation?"

"I haven't made a final decision yet, what about you?"

"I want to go to General Jiang Guangnai's 19th Route Army, and Director Chen has already written me a letter of recommendation. The commander-in-chief of the 19th Route Army, Jiang Guangnai, and the commander of the army, Cai Tingkai, are both our fellow countrymen, and this is a well-known iron army, and I believe that we will be useful there. Otherwise, you can come with me. ”

"It's good that we can take care of each other."

The September 18 Incident made the people of the whole country feel the same hatred for the enemy, and various localities took to the streets one after another, demanding that the Nationalist Government actively resist Japan and save the country.

On the campus of Aurora University in Shanghai, students were busy writing slogans and making flyers and banners.

"Shuxian, how is your history department preparing?" A boy ran over and asked.

"It's all set, Hongda, when are we leaving?"

"When the professors are there, we'll go."

After a while, the professors were all on the playground.

"Dad, you're also participating?" Shuxian saw her father Xu Hengliang also standing in the team, and hurriedly walked over.

"How can your father be absent from such an important matter?" Although Xu Hengliang is sick, his fighting spirit is high.

"But your lung disease is not yet healed, and the doctor put you on bed rest." Shuxian was a little worried about her father's illness.

"Shout a few slogans, walk a few steps and you'll be fine, girl, don't worry about your father. Okay, is the big guy ready? Let's go! ”

The mighty procession marched in the direction of the city hall, and everyone held high the banner and raised their arms and shouted:

"Expel the Japanese invaders and return my rivers and mountains!"

"Military-civilian cooperation, resist to the end!"

"Fight against foreign aggression!"

"Down with Japanese militarism!"

"All Chinese compatriots unite to eliminate the Japanese fascists!"

。。。。。。

Suddenly, the police whistle sounded, and a large number of military police ran over to stop the procession.

The parade confronted the military and police, and the students stood still shouting slogans.

A pot-bellied police officer stands in a police car, horn in hand, shouting to students.

"Students, please be quiet, I am Hu Xiaolian, the police chief of the patrol house, listen to me, your petition has been received by the city government, and they will convey everyone's voice to the highest authorities, so please be calm and patient."

"But why has we not given an answer until now, we have asked the government to immediately send troops to resist the war, but why have we not moved until now? Allowing the Bandits to run rampant? Xu Hengliang questioned Hu Xiaolian.

"That is, why are you still standing still, do you have to wait for the Japanese devils to enter the pass? Isn't Kanwai our land? ”

"The compatriots in the Northeast have been humiliated, can the government sit idly by and let it go?"

Students and teachers, you and I questioned Hu Xiaolian one by one.

"It's all about the big picture." Hu Xiaolian was a little overwhelmed, took out a handkerchief from his trouser pocket and wiped the sweat on his forehead.

"What's the big picture? The flames of war have spread in the northeast, and the Chinese nation has reached the moment of life and death. Xu Hengliang continued to question.

"You're capitulating."

The students once again raised their arms and shouted: "It is better to be a ghost who dies in battle than a slave who dies in the country!" ”

"Students, please listen to me, you are still students, you should focus on your schoolwork, this kind of national affairs should be decided by the highest authorities, we have to trust the government."

"The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband."

"If the country lives and dies for profit, will it not be avoided because of good and evil."

"Patriotism is not guilty, and there is merit in resisting Japan."

Hu Xiaolian looked at the passionate procession, shook his head helplessly, and got out of the police car.

"Prepare a water cannon to drive this group of students away." Hu Xiaolian whispered orders to the police officers around him.

It didn't take long for the police to bring in several fire trucks, armed with high-pressure water cannons, and spray them at the crowd. In an instant, the procession was dispersed by high-pressure water cannons, and several students fell to the ground.

Xu Hengliang was also shot by the water column and fell to the ground, and Shuxian hurriedly went over to help.

"Dad, how are you, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, I didn't expect this group of bastards to disregard public opinion and persecute patriotic teachers and students." Xu Hengliang suddenly coughed, and a mouthful of bloody phlegm gushed out.

"Daddy." Shuxian looked at her father anxiously.

"I'm fine, I'm fine, I can't die yet." Xu Hengliang waved his hand at Shuxian.

"Professor Xu, it doesn't matter to you, go, I'll carry you." Zhu Hongda ran over, picked up Xu Hengliang and left.

Xu Hengliang was admitted to the hospital, and the doctor carefully examined his condition.

"Doctor, how is my father?"

"The old gentleman's old illness has not been cured, and today he was drenched in water again, this cold winter, let alone an old man, even young people can't bear it. He still has a fever, and I have given him a fever-reducing injection, and this lung disease must be well maintained, and he can't be too tired. My family is an ancestral Chinese medicine practitioner, or I will prescribe a prescription for you, and you can go to the pharmacy to grab some medicine and recuperate. “

"Thank you, doctor."

The doctor prescribes a prescription and hands it to Shuxian.

Shuxian took the prescription and went to the pharmacy to grab the medicine.
