Lu Yixiang and his wife flew to Shanghai on the third day, and as soon as they got off the plane, Tang Hanzhen's car was already waiting at the airport.

"Boss Lu, you and your wife are welcome to come to Shanghai in person to supervise the donation."

"Where, Brother Tang, you are serious, you are doing things, what am I worried about? This time, I came to donate some materials to show our support for the great cause of fighting Japan, and second, to visit the dogs. ”

"Is Lu Gongzi also in Shanghai?"

"He is now a soldier in the 19th Route Army, under the command of General Chiang."

"Really? Tiger father has no dogs, your boss Lu is a pivotal figure in the business world, I didn't expect that Lu Gongzi could carry a gun to defend the country at a young age, it's really not simple. ”

"I heard that two days ago, the 19th Route Army and the Japanese soldiers fought, and the battle was very fierce, I really don't know if Lin'er is safe and sound." Mrs. Lu was worried.

"You relax, if anything happened to Lin'er, Guang Nai and Ting Kai would have informed me a long time ago. I haven't heard anything yet, Lin'er should be fine. Isn't there an English adage called: No news is the best news. ”

"Just your heart."

Lu Yixiang patted his wife's hand: "Lin'er is the descendant of our Lu family, the ancestors of the Lu family will protect him, haven't you also prayed for him in front of the Bodhisattva?" ”

"Since Da Lin'er participated in the 19th Route Army, I have been eating fasting and reciting Buddha at home, going to Guangxiao Temple to worship incense and pray, and a few days ago I specially copied the Diamond Sutra, I don't know if the Bodhisattva has seen my sincerity."

"Mrs. Lu is so pious, the Buddha will definitely bless Lu Gongzi."

"Hey, Manager Tang, are we almost ready for these donated materials?"

"It's almost ready, and as soon as the workers below heard that it was donated to the 19th Route Army, they all took the initiative to work overtime, and their enthusiasm for production was high."

"Yes, the people's aspirations!"

Lu Yixiang took the material donation convoy of Lu's company and drove to the general headquarters of the 19th Route Army.

A chief of staff ran out, gave a military salute to Lu Yixiang, and then held Lu Yixiang's hand tightly with both hands.

"Boss Lu, thank you, thank you for your company's strong support to our troops! General Chiang and General Cai are now holding a meeting of officers above the regimental level to plan the next battle plan, and he said that he will come to see you, fellow countryman, as soon as the meeting is over. ”

"Military affairs are important, General Jiang and General Cai are planning for the Anti-Japanese War, so I won't bother, just tell him that Lu Yixiang of Lychee Bay is willing to give everything to the anti-Japanese resistance."

"Okay, I'll tell you."

"I still have one more thing to ask, the dog Lu Yulin is currently a platoon commander under Brigade Commander Weng Zhaoheng of the 156th Brigade, can I go and meet him?"

"Of course, no problem. I'll take you personally. ”

Lu Yixiang and Mrs. Lu got into the jeep of the chief of staff and drove in the direction of Wusongkou.

Lu Yulin is directing the soldiers to dig fortifications. Seeing where it was not strong enough, he personally stepped forward to demonstrate.

"Lu Yulin, out of the ranks."

"Yes." Lu Yulin ran out of the trench and came to the chief of staff.

"Lu Yulin, look, who's coming?"

The chief of staff got out of the way, and Lu Yulin was surprised and ecstatic when he saw that it was his parents.

"Dad, Mom, why are you here?" Lu Yulin put his arms around his father with one hand and his mother with the other.

"Your father is here to donate supplies to our troops." The chief of staff said with a smile.

"Really? Dad, you deserve to be my father, and I know that in the face of the great cause of the Anti-Japanese War, you will definitely contribute generously. ”

"As long as this group of wolf-ambitious little Japan is driven out of China, your father will not hesitate even if he is bankrupt."

"Lin'er, you're dark, thin, and your hair is unkempt, I don't even recognize you." Mrs. Lu touched her son's face.

"I can't see you, your mother is not at ease, she nagged in front of me every day, I was annoyed by her and couldn't bear it, so I took her to see you."

"Mom, you see, I'm not bubbly, okay."

Mrs. Lu hugged her son: "Lin'er, do you know how much your mother misses you?" ”

Xiao Ruqin hugged her son, tears flowing.

"Okay, okay, don't snot and tears, my son is older, and he is seen as a joke."

"Mom, don't worry, I'm doing well in the army."

"Lin'er, this bullet doesn't have eyes, you have to be careful."

"I know, Mom, you guys go back."

"Well, okay, let's go back, you watch out for yourself." Lu Yixiang patted his son's shoulder.

Lu Yixiang helped Mrs. Lu to leave, and Mrs. Lu looked back at Lu Yulin step by step, tears welled up like a bank.

Seeing the back of his parents drifting away, Lu Yulin's eyes were also moist. He wiped away his tears, jumped into the trench, and continued to dig fortifications.

The fighting along the Wusongkou line was tense, and Japanese military planes took off from the aircraft carrier "Noto Lu" and wantonly bombed our positions. The Nineteenth Route Army suffered heavy losses.

"Platoon commander, the company commander is dead."

"What?" Lu Yulin braved the artillery fire and quickly ran to the side of the company commander Qiu Rongsheng, and half of Qiu Rongsheng's body was blown away. Lu Yulin took off his military uniform and covered Qiu Rongsheng's body.

"Where's the gunner?"

"Here." A gunner with a bandage on his head gave a military salute to Lu Yulin.

Lu Yulin ran to the artillery and commanded the gunner to shoot.

"Reload."

The gunner loads the shell into the chamber.

Lu Yulin knelt on one knee, stretched out his right arm, raised his thumb, closed his left eye, and then opened his left eye and closed his right eye.

"The target is 120 meters to the east, 800 meters away, and an elevation angle of 55 degrees. Aim, put. ”

The shell "swished" out of the chamber and hit the enemy plane. The enemy plane that was hit crashed into the river with black smoke whistling from its tail.

"Hit." Lu Yulin punched the gunner excitedly.

"Keep loading." Lu Yulin commanded calmly.

"100 meters to the west, 600 meters away, 35 degrees in elevation. Aim, put. “

The shells grazed the left flank of the plane, causing the enemy plane to turn around and run.

"Send the wounded to the tunnels, concentrate the ammunition, and keep a close eye on the movements of the enemy." Lu Yulin ordered the soldiers.

"Xiao Linzi, the Japanese army has been repulsed by us again. But our casualties are also very high. Tan Jingting came out of the tunnel, looking at the wounded soldiers who were being transported to the tunnel one after another, and his heart was heavy.

"Yes, the Japanese army has gathered more than 70,000 people, and we are only more than 30,000, and the Japanese army is relatively well-equipped, and the military strength of the two sides is indeed very different."

"I heard that General Chiang is asking the Central Committee for reinforcements, and General Zhang Zhizhong's Fifth Army will arrive soon."

"That's good, as long as we are united, we will definitely be able to beat little Japan down."

Under the 19th Route Army and the Fifth Army fighting side by side, the officers and men of our army fought bravely to kill the enemy for several days, and the first line of the Wusongkou Fort did not allow the Japanese army to advance an inch.

Lu Yulin was promoted to battalion commander because of his outstanding performance on the battlefield, repeatedly repelled Japanese attacks, and destroyed many enemies. Tan Jingting was also promoted to deputy battalion commander. At the celebration party, Lu Yulin's chest was full of medals.

The Japanese army's wanton and indiscriminate bombing of Shanghai caused the whole of Shanghai to be devastated and scorched. Collapsed houses, damaged buildings, schools, and libraries can be seen everywhere, and countless people have died tragically, and corpses are strewn all over the field.

Shuxian and her classmates formed an ambulance team to treat the injured civilians on the streets, placing them in the auditorium, classrooms, and dormitories of the school.

Shuxian looked at the room full of wounded, and couldn't help but think of Lu Yulin: The war is so tight, the battle is so fierce, I don't know what is happening to him now, is he still alive? Shuxian didn't dare to think about it.

Shuxian sat by the window, took out the silk handkerchief, and Lu Yulin's handsome face, charming smile, and a kiss on the cheek appeared in front of her.

"Shuxian, you're here." Xu Hengliang appeared in front of her: "Tired, drink saliva." ”

"Dad, why are you here?" Shuxian took the cup and took a few sips.

"Alas, now that the guns are rumbling all day long outside, and mourning is everywhere, how can I lie in bed and do nothing? I'll see if there's anything I can do to help. ”

"Dad, you better go back, you can't help here, you can't lift the wounded, and you can't bandage and nurse."

"Alas, it's really in response to the old saying: useless is a scholar. But I have to do something, I can't just be idle here. ”

"Otherwise, you should go to Zhu Hongda's, their propaganda team is busy writing leaflets and putting up slogans."

"Your father is good at this job, and the hero is finally useful. Where is Xiao Zhu? ”

"They should be in the library."

"Okay, you're busy, I'll go to Xiao Zhu to help."

Xu Hengliang came to the school library, where several students were struggling to write books and slogans, Zhu Hongda saw Xu Hengliang coming, and quickly stopped the pen in his hand.

"Professor Xu, why are you here? Are you getting better? I see that your face is pale and quite weak. ”

"Almost, I can't stay in bed all the time, I have to find something to do. Xiao Zhu, you give me a brush, and I will write the slogan, I can do this job. ”

Zhu Hongda wanted to persuade the old professor to rest, but seeing his stubbornness, he knew that it was useless to talk more, so he simply relied on him, so he handed him the brush and paper.

Xu Hengliang thought for a while, dipped the brush with ink, and left a few vigorous characters on the paper: Expel the Japanese and return my rivers and mountains.

Then, he wrote several more in one breath: swear to defend Shanghai to the death; share the same hatred and hatred, and resist foreign insults together; swear to die rather than be a slave to the country; Unite to boycott Japanese goods。。。。。。

Dense beads of sweat oozed from Xu Hengliang's forehead, and when Zhu Hongda saw this, he hurriedly handed him a handkerchief.

"Professor Xu, you can rest for a while, and we'll do the rest."

"Okay, you guys go ahead, I'll sit next to me and rest."

Zhu Hongda helped Xu Hengliang to the chair, asked him to sit down, and then poured a glass of boiling water.

"Professor Xu, take a sip of water."

Xu Hengliang nodded, took the cup, and took a sip of water: "Xiao Zhu, you guys are busy, don't worry about me, an old man, I'll just rest for a while." ”

"I'd better call Shuxian over, I think you better go home and rest in bed."

Zhu Hongda didn't wait for Xu Hengliang to answer, ran out of the library, and went to call Shuxian.

"Hey, Xiao Zhu." Xu Hengliang wanted to stop Zhu Hongda, but he didn't expect the young man to run out in a puff of smoke, Xu Hengliang shook his head and muttered to himself: "Alas, am I really old, I am tired of writing a few words like this, it's really useless." ”

Xu Hengliang looked at the young people in the library who were busy promoting the Anti-Japanese War, and felt as if a fire was burning in his heart.
