Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Storm Rises (2)
Tang Xingshang said heartlessly: "Company commander, what's going on?!" ”
Lin Jun's hand trembled a little, lit a cigarette, took two puffs, and said: "Three days ago, that is, on the night of September 18, the Japanese bombed the South Manchurian Railway, and then the Japanese Kwantung Army bombarded the Beidaying and launched an attack on Mukden under the pretext that the Chinese army destroyed the South Manchurian Railway. As of the afternoon of the 19th, 18 towns along the South Manchurian Railway and Anbong Railway, including Fengtian, Siping, Yingkou, Andong and Phoenix, were lost. On the 20th, the whole of Changchun fell. ”
"What?!" Although Hong Yu and the others had been prepared in their hearts, when they heard the news, they were inevitably taken aback. Although Tang Xingye knew that this was true, he still deceived himself and asked, "Company commander, you must be joking with us, right?!" It's not funny! ”
Lin Jun smiled bitterly and asked rhetorically, "Do I seem to be joking?!" ”
"Smack! Syllable! ......" Tang Xingshang slapped his face a few times and said, "What do the eastern, northern, and military do to eat?!" Hundreds of thousands of troops, not hundreds of thousands of ducks. Even if it's more than 100,000 ducks, you can't be kicked out of the house in two days, right?! ”
Hong Yu patted Tang Xingshang on the shoulder, comforted Tang Xingshang, and then asked, "Company commander, are we just swallowing our anger and giving up Fengtian?!" ”
Lin Jun took a deep breath and said, "It's not something I think about with you. Whether it is a fight or a draw, these are all the final words above. We just need to do our part. You're tired after a day of training today, so go back and rest first! I'll tell you if there's any news. But I want to remind you that when you go out of this door, you must control your mouths, especially Tang Xingshang, you must pay more attention. I don't want you to make trouble for me in this eventful time. Do you understand?! ”
Hong Yu and the Tang brothers replied in unison: "Understood! ”
Leaving the company headquarters and returning to his barracks, Hong Yu put the gun on the shelf by the wall, picked up the kettle hanging on the side, and was stunned. Tang Xingshang, who was sitting at the table not far away, saw Hong Yu's distracted appearance and asked, "Brother Yu, what are you thinking?!" ”
"Huh?!" Hong Yu came back to his senses, unscrewed the lid and took a sip of water, and said, "I'm worried about Yuan Hui!" Saying that, Hong Yu sighed, and then said: "According to the current situation, it is estimated that it will not be long before the entire three northeastern provinces will be occupied by little devils." With the three northeastern provinces as support points, the little devils can threaten North China. And Beiping is the gateway to North China. If my guess is correct, the next target of the little devil must be Beiping. ”
Tang Xingye walked to Hong Yu's side, patted Hong Yu's shoulder, and said, "You are worried about Yuan Hui, why don't I worry about my parents!" Brother Yu, why don't we ask the company commander to help send a telegram home and ask?! ”
Hong Yu glanced at Tang Xingye, shook his head, and said, "Jiren has his own natural appearance. News without them is the best news. Now the only thing we can do is train well. I believe that the day is not far off when we will fight the little devils! ”
Beiping, Hongjia.
Because of the "918 Incident", a large number of Eastern and Northern troops poured into Beiping City. For the safety of students. All schools are closed. I can't go to school or go shopping. In order to pass the time, Yuan Hui read a book in the study. At this time, the housekeeper Uncle Wu knocked on the door and walked into the study, and said respectfully: "Young grandma, Mr. Tang is here." Now in the living room. ”
"Oh?! I'll go right away. After that, Yuan Hui tidied up the desk and followed the housekeeper out of the study. Coming to the living room, Yuan Hui asked with a smile, "Uncle Tang, why are you here?!" ”
Tang Haitao took out the telegram he had just received and said, "This is the telegram just sent by my father-in-law, and your parents and he already know about 918." They asked me to take you to Nanjing. ”
Yuan Hui took the telegram, quickly read the contents of the telegram, and asked, "Uncle Tang, we are leaving, so what should the workers do?!" ”
Tang Haitao replied with a smile: "You don't have to worry about this." Before we went to Nanjing last time, your father-in-law and I were already shrinking the industry. Coupled with the operation in the past six months, our industries have basically moved to Guizhou and Sichuan. This time, your father-in-law and your father and mother went abroad to relax, and by the way, they bought some properties abroad. In case of a big fight at home, we might as well go and live abroad. ”
Yuan Hui thought for a moment and asked, "Uncle Tang, when are we leaving?!" ”
Tang Haitao replied: "I still have some things to deal with, and I came to say hello to you today." It's also good for you to prepare in advance. No surprises, leave next Wednesday. ”
"Good! I've got it in my mind! Yuan Hui responded and asked, "Uncle Tang, is there any news about Hong Yu and them?!" ”
Tang Haitao replied with a smile: "They are now training as enlisted students. This training has only been a year, and now half a year has passed. I think they'll hear soon. You don't have to worry about it. After that, Tang Haitao raised his wrist, looked at his watch, and said, "I still have to leave beforehand." Call me if you have something. Or let Lao Wu go to me. ”
"I see! Uncle Tang, you go slowly! Yuan Hui stood up and sent Tang Haitao out. watched Tang Haitao's sedan leave. Yuan Hui said to Uncle Wu: "Uncle Wu, prepare the car!" ”
"Yes! Young grandma! Uncle Wu left and ran to eat.
After more than ten minutes, Yuan Hui got into the car with her handbag. The driver asked, "Young grandma, where are we going?!" ”
Yuan Hui replied, "Go to Qihuamen Street." ”
"Yes!" The driver answered and started the car.
It didn't take long for the car to hit the street. Through the car window, Yuan Hui looked at the hurried students on the street, and her brows wrinkled unconsciously. After about an hour or so, the car stopped, and the driver turned his head and said, "Young grandma, the place has arrived!" ”
Yuan Hui came back to her senses and said, "You wait for me here." ”
"Okay!" The driver answered, watched Yuan Hui get out of the car, and walked into the alley not far away.
Walking to a courtyard, Yuan Hui knocked on the door. It didn't take long for a girl to open the door, and when she saw Yuan Hui, she immediately jumped up excitedly, reached out and hooked Yuan Hui's arm, and said as she walked inside: "Sister, why did you think of coming to see me today?!" ”
Yuan Hui doted on the girl and said, "I'm not here to see you!" I'm going to Nanjing next week. It is estimated that it will be a long time before I return. Would you like to come with me?! ”
"Huh?!" The girl wrinkled her lovely nose and asked, "Sister, I know that my brother-in-law is in Nanjing now." You went to Nanjing to meet him, I'm afraid it's not good for me to go?! ”
"At such a young age, why do you have so many messy things in your head?!" Yuan Hui stretched out a finger, tapped it on the girl's head, and said, "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. Now the outside world is so chaotic, you are a girl's family, in case there are three long and two short, how can I explain to my aunt and uncle?! ”
"Sister!" The girl closed the door, turned around and hugged Yuan Hui's arm, and said coquettishly while rubbing: "I know you are for my good!" But don't forget, we are the descendants of the times. I don't only open doors, pick locks, and steal things, but I also do light work and disguise techniques. It's not so easy for them to catch me! ”
"Horses stumble, men stumble. No matter how careful you are, there will be times when you miss. Saying that, Yuan Hui paused, sighed, and said, "If you have three long and two short, what will you do with my father and me?!" Seeing that Sikong Wuxue's heart was moved, Yuan Hui continued: "Take another 10,000 steps back." Now the Japanese people occupy the whole of Mukden. The situation in Peiping is also not optimistic. In case ......"
"Sister!" Without waiting for Yuan Hui's words to finish, Sikong Wuxue interrupted: "Don't say it, can't I go with you?!" You're so long-winded, I really don't know how my brother-in-law likes you. ”
"What did you say?!" Yuan Hui's eyes widened suddenly, and she looked at Sikong Wuxue with murderous energy. Sikong Wuxue blinked her cute big eyes, slanted her head at Yuan Hui, and said, "I didn't say anything?!" I just said, come with you! ”
Yuan Hui said reluctantly: "This is the previous sentence, what about the latter sentence?!" ”
"That ......" Sikong Wuxue turned his mind, pulled Yuan Hui to his room, and changed the topic: "Sister, I'll go to Nanjing with you, what do you say I'm going to bring?!" You help me take a look. ”
"You little slippery head!" Yuan Hui didn't know Sikong Wuxue's thoughts, scolded lightly, and followed Sikong Wuxue into her room half-pushing.
About half an hour passed. Yuan Hui and Sikong Wuxue walked out of the alley with two rattan boxes. The driver who was waiting in the car saw Yuan Hui carrying things, hurriedly got out of the car, took the boxes in the hands of Yuan Hui and Sikong Wuxue one by one, and put them in the trunk of the car. ……
At 2 p.m. on September 21, when Yuan Hui returned to Hong's house with Sikong Wuxue, Lao Jiang rushed back to Nanjing from Nanchang. After returning to Nanjing, at 6 p.m., Lao Chiang convened a meeting with Wu Zhihui, Zhang Jingjiang, Dai Jitao, Shao Yuanchong, and others to discuss the handling of the matter. On the other hand, it unites the country and goes to the national disaster together. As for the military, he endured to a considerable extent, and acted in self-defense to make the last move, and fought a decisive battle against the Japanese invaders. ”
On the morning of 22 September, when Lao Chiang attended the Provisional Party Congress held in Nanjing, all universities and middle schools in Nanjing petitioned the government: "Urge the diplomatic authorities to make serious representations to Japan" and "the compatriots of the whole country should work hard to survive under the command of the government and the government in the spirit of hatred and hatred of the enemy."
On the 23rd, in order to appease the people, the government issued a letter to the people: "The people are also unanimously admonished, we must maintain a serious and calm attitude, unite as one, and trust the government." ”
