It turned out that Ni Hua was a native of Nijiayan in Yuyao, Zhejiang, his grandfather Ni Yunshan was a Catholic priest, and his grandmother Xu was the sixteenth granddaughter of Xu Guangqi, a famous scientist and Catholic in the Ming Dynasty of China. Ni Hua's father is the maternal uncle of the six sisters Song Qingling.

Ni Hua has received a good education since he was a child, followed his uncle Song Jiashu to study in the United States, and was admitted to the preparatory department of Wesleyan Women's College in Mecon, Georgia at the age of 13, and was admitted to Columbia University at the age of 16 to study medicine.

As for the later situation, Ni Hua had already told Cai Zhong, and Liu Yimin also knew that it was because her family had opened a new private hospital in Chengdu, and when she returned to China for vacation, she knew that the Red Army had occupied Chengdu, and she was not worried about the hospital, so she took a plane from Shanghai to Yucheng, and rushed to Chengdu from Yucheng with a few bodyguards. As soon as he arrived in Chengdu, he was invited to the hospital by Red Army soldiers.

Liu Yimin thought to himself, from Ni Guizhen to the three sisters of the Song family, and then to the 20-year-old Ni Hua, the daughters of this family are all adventurous heroines! Think about Soong Ailing and Soong Qingling successively served as Sun Yat-sen's English secretary, Soong Qingling became Mrs. Sun, and later became the honorary chairman of the Republic, Soong Ailing single-handedly promoted the marriage between Soong Meiling and Chiang Kai-shek, and brought the Jiangsu-Zhejiang consortium and Britain and the United States together with Chiang Kai-shek, creating Chiang Kai-shek's status today. Looking at Ni Hua in front of me again, I felt funny, the Red Army occupied Chengdu, and others couldn't run, but a big girl like a flower was not afraid of anything, and dared to break into the tiger's den in Longtan. It seems that the adventurous spirit of the Americans is fully embodied in these talented and beautiful women who have received American education.

Seeing Liu Yimin's smile on his face, but he didn't know where he flew to, Ni Hua said: "I originally thought you were a group of bandits. In the past few days, I have observed that your soldiers are very disciplined, your guard company commander and Xiao Tang pay according to the price when they buy you food, and they have a very good attitude towards the people, and I have not found that you have looted the people like other bandits, and the security on the streets of Chengdu is also good. I feel that you are also a political group and a regular armed force with ideals, discipline and pursuits, not as my cousin-in-law advertised. ”

Liu Yimin smiled: "Your third cousin-in-law is China's biggest liar maker. At that time, Mr. Zhongshan launched the Ming Cooking Revolution, and many heroes died on the battlefield of the Northern Expedition. It's a pity that after Mr. Sun Yat-sen's death, Chiang Kai-shek, your second cousin-in-law, betrayed Mr. Zhongshan's will, betrayed the revolution, and slaughtered [***] people, forcing [***] people to fight against him. You are studying in the United States, and you tell me, can the Republican Party show that the Cooking Party is a bandit? Let me say that both the Republican Party and the Ming Cook Party are defenders of American interests. In the same way, both the Kuomintang and [***] should pursue progress and unite and struggle for China's prosperity and strength. It is a pity that under the leadership of Chiang Kai-shek, the Kuomintang has degenerated into a party of scholars, forgetting all the righteousness of Mr. Zhongshan's three mingzhuo, and wholeheartedly fighting against differences with the party, seeking to rule by scholars. You have the opportunity to talk to your second cousin and hear what she has to say. As for your eldest cousin and eldest cousin-in-law, they have already become experts in collecting money and national moths. If you can see your third cousin and cousin-in-law, you can tell them, just say what I said, if you don't stop the precipice and organize the people to protest, you will take their Nanjing. You can also tell Mr. Chiang, who is bent on learning from Hitler's fascism, that the way out for China is not fascism, but to take the road of building the country. If he dares to pursue and suppress us again, in the future, when we defeat the invaders, no matter how far he goes, I will personally capture him and send him to the judgment seat of history. ”

Ni Hua's eyes flashed: "Do you want me to be a messenger, or do you want to threaten me?" ”

Liu Yimin also felt that it was a bit of a waste to say so much to a little girl, so he said: "It's not a threat, besides, which of the Ni family's daughters will be threatened by others?" The messenger can't talk about it, and no one listens to your girl's house, and if you talk too much, they will annoy you and affect your family relationship. However, if you meet Mrs. Sun Qingling, you can tell her that we [***] and the Red Army respect everything she has done for the country, and hope that she can play a greater role in the resistance. You can also tell her that I personally have a lot of respect for her. ”

Ni Hua said: "This is about the same, just now I thought you were going to rebel against me, or threaten me, or even detain me." ”

Liu Yimin smiled: "How can it? You are my savior, and ungrateful things are not for manly people, let alone us. Say, what do you want me to say? ”

When Ni Hua saw Liu Yimin asking like this, he also became solemn: "I heard that you are going north to resist and destroy the invaders, and I am very moved. But I still have to go back to the United States to study for a doctorate in medicine and fulfill my dream, and I can't go to the front line with the army. I can't help you fighters, and I feel guilty. I would like to donate this hospital that my family had just set up to the Red Army. You can rest assured that the equipment of this hospital is first-class in China, and the level of doctors is also very high, but the scale is a little smaller. Do you think it's okay? ”

When Liu Yimin heard this, this girl has a very high consciousness, and she still has a sense of national justice. Busy said: "I am very touched that you have this kind of thought, our Red Army is very difficult, everything is needed, let alone a relatively advanced hospital." However, this is your hospital, not your own, do you want to ask for your family's opinion? ”

Ni Hua shook his head: "No need, my parents are far away from here, so I can't contact them for the time being." If you really go to protest, my parents will support me. If you don't resist, but fight a civil war and fight for territory with my cousin-in-law like other warlords, then I am blind, and no one is to blame. When I finish my studies in the future, practice medicine in the United States, earn money, and pay back to my parents. ”

Liu Yimin was moved in his heart and said to Ni Hua: "Don't worry, we are determined to resist." As for the civil war, it will be fought for the time being, and I can tell you that Chiang Kai-shek mobilized a million troops to encircle and suppress us, and I am in a hurry to be discharged from the hospital, just to fight them. When they are defeated, and they dare not fight a civil war, they will negotiate with us and fight with us. Please forgive me at this point, it's not that we want to fight, it's your cousin-in-law who wants to fight, and if we don't fight, we can only stretch out our necks and wait for him to cut off. You don't want me to be shot by your cousin-in-law, do you? ”

Ni Hua said: "You men are aggressive. I don't care, and I can't do it. As long as you resist! ”

Liu Yimin said: "Doctor Ni, I can assure you that we [***] people would rather be broken than broken, and we must fight to the end." I myself would rather die on the battlefield than live in steal! Thank you, I can't imagine that you can study in the United States so much about the peril of the nation and be willing to contribute to the motherland's resistance, which is worthy of being the descendants of Yan and Huang, which also shows that the whole nation of our country will definitely be able to form a unity and consensus on the issue of resisting the Japanese. As long as we work together, we will surely win the final victory! In this way, you call Chen Tong in, time is tight, no more kind words, I will let him go with you to the hospital. ”

Ni Hua ran out to shout Chen Tong, but Liu Yimin couldn't calm down for a long time, thinking of the famous telegram sent by Chen Jiageng, the leader of overseas Chinese in history: "Before the enemy quits the country, anyone who talks about peace conditions among public servants should be treated as Han annihilating the country and thieves", he felt extremely excited, and couldn't help but sing "My Home is on the Songhua River in Northeast China" in a low voice.

When Chen Tong and Ni Hua came in together, they saw Liu Yimin sitting on the bed, singing a very bleak and tactful song that he had never heard before.

The singing is over. Liu Yimin's eyes were shining with tears, and Ni Hua and Chen Tong were drunk and obsessed.

Seeing the two of them coming in, Liu Yimin recovered his mentality and said in a deep voice: "Comrade Chen Tong, Dr. Ni Hua wants to donate her family's private hospital to our army, and you and Ling Kun are responsible for accepting it." After receiving it, it will be transferred to the field hospital of the regiment, and I will propose to the party committee of the regiment to appoint Comrade Ni Hua as the vice president of the field hospital of the Seventh Army of the Red Army. You go and do it now. ”

Ni Hua hurriedly shook his hand: "I can't help it, I'm just a young student, and I have to go back to the United States to study, so I can't be your vice president." ”

Liu Yimin sighed: "It won't take long for the all-out war of resistance to start, with your surgical level, how many soldiers' lives can be saved!" It's okay, don't appoint yet. In the future, when you return from your studies in the United States, you will be appointed. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Yimin listened to it for a while, and said in a joking taste: "However, you remember, in my heart, you are the vice president of the field hospital of my Red Seventh Army. I hope that when you come back from the United States, you will not be empty-handed, and bring more doctors, medical equipment and medicines. Others such as weapons and equipment, ammunition, construction machinery, all kinds of engineering and technical personnel, and even aircraft, warships, tanks, oil refining equipment, steelmaking equipment, mining machinery, etc., as many as you want. You must remember that you are not only a good girl of your parents, a good student of an American university, but also the deputy director of the field hospital of our Red Seventh Army Corps, and you can represent our Red Army in the United States. ”

Ni Huamei's eyes flashed, and she said "greedy ghost", and went out with Chen Tong.

Watching Ni Hua's slender figure walk out of the door, Liu Yimin thought to himself, since it was sent to the door, it is not good for you to contribute to the country and the resistance, then I will not become the melon baby that the Sichuan people say?

Thinking about the rich and powerful country on the other side of the ocean, Liu Yimin salivated from his mouth, it was colorful dollars, tons and tons of steel, countless planes, warships, tanks, and artillery! If you can get these things to arm the Red Army, then Xiao Yue Ben is not a and urine? The United States, the United States, what can be done to make you wake up in advance? Even if you fight this devil a year in advance, how many fewer people will die in China!

If you don't seize this opportunity to get more things from the United States, I am afraid that the United States will only deal with the national political axe in the future, and will never pay attention to [***] again. If you can go to the United States, with your knowledge, as long as you can meet those big entrepreneurs, wouldn't it be a piece of cake to get some equipment and steel back? It's a big deal to sell some patents, so that those big companies can make a little more money in advance.

It is a pity that the Red Army has not yet gained a foothold, and it is the last word to win the battle in front of us and force Chiang Kai-shek to sit down and negotiate.

Thinking of this, Liu Yimin called Li Chengyi to come in, spread out the map, and began to study and ponder carefully.

Chen Tong accompanied Ni Hua to her hospital, and saw that the equipment was indeed relatively advanced, and the doctors invited were all graduates of Shanghai Medical University. I checked the pharmacy again, and I found that all kinds of medicines were available. Chen Tongxin was overjoyed, and was busy with Ling Kun to cooperate with Ni Hua to mobilize the medical staff. In the end, five doctors and six nurses agreed to join the Red Army, and some of the doctors and nurses were reluctant to join the Red Army and demanded that they be paid to return to Shanghai. After discussing with Chen Tong and Ling Kun, Ni Hua agreed to pay the travel expenses, but in view of the current chaotic situation in Sichuan, it was recommended that they stay in the hospital, guard the house, and return to Shanghai after the situation stabilized a little.

The director of the hospital was an old man used by the Ni family, and Ni Hua's father was a good friend, and he was reluctant to see that Ni Hua insisted on donating the hospital to the Red Army. Pulled Ni Hua aside and quietly persuaded: "Miss, if you don't discuss with the lord and wife, donate the hospital, and the lord and wife will blame it in the future, what should you do?" ”

Ni Hua said: "Don't worry, uncle, what is there to do with me!" You don't know, the Red Army is going to fight against the Japanese, they are short of medical treatment, we donate the hospital to them, it is to directly serve the anti-Japanese people, my parents will agree. ”

The dean looked at Ni Hua with pity: "Miss, how can you say this, they are your cousin-in-law's opponents, if you do this, it is tantamount to opposing your cousin-in-law, and when relatives meet in the future, it is not easy to talk!" ”

Ni Hua said: "The Red Army is going to resist, and all Chinese should support them." If my cousin-in-law also resists, I am willing to go to his army as a doctor and go directly to the front line. Relatives to relatives, axioms to axioms, I don't think there's anything. ”

The dean shook his head: "Miss, you are too young, you shouldn't come here." You tell your uncle, did they coerce you to donate? ”

Ni Hua smiled: "Uncle, you underestimate the Red Army too much, how can they coerce me?" However, let me tell you that when we returned to Shanghai, we should not say that we donated the hospital to the Red Army, but that the situation in Sichuan was unstable, and we withdrew to Shanghai to rebuild the hospital to avoid some trouble. As for the equipment, medicines, etc., it was said that the situation was too chaotic to take care of, so I had to hand it over to a friend to take care of. ”

The dean said, "That's all there is to it. ”

Ni Hua thought for a while and said, "Uncle, I think about it, the doctors and nurses who asked to go back to Shanghai can't be dismissed, or you should take them with you." When I went back, I told my parents that I would be able to set up a small hospital in Shanghai. The houses here are not for sale, and maybe we will come here to run a hospital in the future. If you really want to fight with Yuben in the future, Shanghai will not be safe. ”

The dean nodded, feeling that this girl also had her own ideas, and she was not all dizzy.

After the handover, Chen Tong and Ling Kun organized the soldiers to pack and carry them, but Ni Hua sat down and thought about his own thoughts. What the dean said is right, if they let their cousin and cousin-in-law know, they must scold themselves, in their eyes this is a communist and an enemy, and it would be good not to let the spies and gendarmes find trouble for themselves.

I'm afraid that my parents will have to talk about it, and they have spent a lot of money to run this hospital, and they will donate it when they say they will donate, for fear that their parents will think that their daughter is a loser. Forget it, tell them to earn money to compensate them in the future.

Think about the conversation with Liu Yimin just now, that guy is really greedy, you see how good he said, you can't come back from the United States empty-handed, bring more medical equipment, medicines, doctors, all kinds of American weapons and equipment, engineering equipment, aircraft and warships, all want. I really don't know what he doesn't want. It's like I'm the president of the United States! Even the president of the United States does not have what he wants, he gives whatever he wants, he gives whatever he wants, this greedy ghost!

But he is really powerful, I just said that he is from Yuyao, Zhejiang, he can immediately judge his origin, and he is truly knowledgeable. Especially the songs he sang, I have never heard them, they are so sad, so sad, so sad, and the hearts of those who sing are broken. How nice it would be if such a person was in his cousin-in-law's [***], why did he become a Red Army?

In the past few days, his ears have almost grown into rice, as if their Red Army soldiers adored him and spoke of him like a god of war. Is he that powerful? I look at his dark eyes, more like a romantic poet like Byron and Shelley, who specializes in attracting the hearts of young girls, where is there any appearance of a famous general!

However, he is really strong, such a big operation, I haven't heard him snort in the past two days. Tomorrow he will be discharged from the hospital and go to the battlefield, and I don't know what it will be like for him to sit on a stretcher and command the battle. Why don't you follow along?

If he proposes not to act with the Red Army now, judging from the situation of his conversation with him today, he will not force himself. However, if his injuries recur in the meantime, without himself, I don't know if their hospital can save his life. This was the first operation he had ever performed, and it was done under such rudimentary conditions, if he recovered, wouldn't he have succeeded? Let's go and have a look, and it's not too late to return to Shanghai when he recovers.

This guy is really, he didn't say hello, so he told Dr. Chen that he would let him be the vice president of his field hospital, and it was too easy for him to be an official, right? However, to be honest, if I returned to the United States and told my classmates and teachers that I was the deputy director of the Red Army field hospital and saved their regiment commander, it would be sensational news. Those little boys who are circling around are just afraid that they will be scared!

What is the relationship between Xiao Tang next to him and him? It seems that Xiao Tang likes him with all his heart, I don't know if he knows it, what he thinks in his heart. I heard that Xiao Tang escaped from marriage a month ago, why was it so coincidental that he met him when he joined the Red Army? This little Don is so lucky.

Forget it, what do you want to do so much, it is right to wait for him to recover, and hurry back to the United States to study for a doctorate. Look at what he said, and come back to work after completing his studies. How can I be so sure I'm going to come back and be their vice president? This guy is too confident.

When Chen Tong and Ling Kun came in, Ni Hua was a little stupid when he thought about it.

Chen Tong said: "Dean Ni, our mission is complete, I will leave a few soldiers to protect you, we will leave first, and after you finish handling things, you will rush back." ”

Ni Hua suddenly sobered up: "What Dean Ni?" Please call me Little Ni or Dr. Ni or Miss Ni. ”

Chen Tong was tepid: "Just now, the corps commander has appointed you as the deputy director of the corps field hospital. In the future, you, me, and Political Commissar Ling will work together to build a team, and I hope that we will work together to make our hospital better and better. Of course, you also have to study abroad, so you don't have to be in charge of the hospital for the time being. Wait until you return to your home country after completing your studies in the future. ”

Ni Hua said: "Just kidding, just now your legion commander just said it, and I didn't agree?" ”

Chen Tong said: "In our Red Seventh Army, the commander represents victory and hope, and his orders cannot be violated. He said that if you are the vice president, then you are the vice president, and all of us in the hospital will respect you. When it matters, it's even okay to block bullets for you. ”

Ni Hua was puzzled: "Isn't he just a hairy guy in his early 20s, he doesn't know if he has a beard and no beard, why is he so domineering, it's purely a warlord style." ”

Chen Tong shook his head: "Dean Ni, you don't know the legion commander, he is not overbearing at all, on the contrary, he is very easy to get along with." The key is that we trust Him in our hearts, respect Him, and be willing to carry out His every command. ”

Ni Hua smiled bitterly: "I can't imagine that this Liu Yimin still has such a high prestige, I can't believe it." You wait for me for a while, and I'll explain to the dean, and I'll go back with you." ”

At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Luo Ronghuan, Cai Zhong, and Feng Dafei came to see Liu Yimin and informed him of the news that the central column had withdrawn from Chengdu. Ask what to do with the remaining troops of the Seventh Army Corps and when will they be evacuated from Chengdu?

Liu Yimin asked if the baggage regiment and the new regiment had set off?

Cai Zhong replied that he had already set off, and now he had already connected with the receiving troops sent by the plateau.

Liu Yimin asked again, did the 13th Division rush back to Chengdu?

Cai Zhong said that it had arrived. However, a lot of food and materials were seized from Dayi, and the hometowns of Liu Xiang and Liu Wenhui were also raided, and a lot of money and opium were brought back.

Liu Yimin hurriedly asked: "Did you hurt anyone?" ”

Cai Zhong said: "Liu Wenhui has an elder brother named Liu Wencai, who is a bit armed, but they didn't have time to put up any resistance, so they didn't hurt anyone. Li Qing said that Liu Wencai's weapons were all pistols and rifles imported from Germany, and the equipment of an entire battalion. As for the families of Liu Xiang and Liu Wenhui, Li Qing released them. ”

Liu Yimin nodded: "It's cheaper for them." After thinking about it, he asked, "Is there any news of the other four legions?" ”

Luo Rong said: "The First Army and the Ninth Army have obtained a little money, weapons and ammunition from Liu Wenhui, and they have all withdrawn from the area around Leshan, and are now concentrating on the front line of Deyang; The Third Army Corps and the Fifth Army Corps are relatively close to Deyang and are basically in place. This time, we occupied the Chengdu Plain, and the troops grew a lot, and the four main army corps reached more than 20,000 people. Mr. Zhu told me that there are about 120,000 people in the whole army now. It's just that there is a big gap in weapons, and Mr. Zhu told me before leaving, and when this battle is over, if we have more weapons, we should try to support the other three legions. ”

Liu Yimin said: "A large number of people does not mean that the combat effectiveness is strong, and the real fight still depends on the old foundation, and those recruits need training." However, several of the legion commanders are all great talents, and they will have a way. As for weapons, don't worry about it, if you win this battle, you can pick whatever you want. ”

Feng Dafei said: "Commander, I don't know if you can be on a stretcher because of your injuries, are we waiting in Chengdu for a few days, and we can stop them when the Central Army comes." We'll leave when your injuries heal. ”

Liu Yimin said: "I also have this idea, and I want to teach Xue Yue a lesson before leaving." But this is a big battle, and we can't afford to hold back. Give Xue Yue a chance to reflect. If after we have dealt with Hu Zongnan, Yang Hucheng and the Northeast Army, he is still obsessed with pursuing us, then leave him behind. Before you came, I had already thought about it, and you immediately ordered the 12th Division to abandon Guan County and concentrate on Deyang overnight, and the 13th Division, the Engineer Regiment, the Heavy Machine Gun Regiment, and the Artillery Regiment Infantry Battalion set off tonight and concentrated on Deyang. Camp during the day and travel at night. The corps headquarters acted with the 13th Division. The cavalry battalion, guard battalion, and sniper brigade were left behind in Chengdu. After I finish the film tomorrow, I will catch up with you with the guard battalion, the cavalry battalion, the sniper brigade, and the field hospital. We'll see you in Deyang. After arriving in Deyang, an operational meeting was held to make specific arrangements for the deployment of combat operations. ”

Cai Zhong's eyes immediately widened: "I agree to the retreat of the large army tonight, but there are too few troops left, what if there is an accident?" Either you and we will go tonight, or we will all walk tomorrow night. Anyway, I'm going to stay with you and keep you safe. ”

Luo Ronghuan said: "There are indeed few troops left, less than one regiment, and if you encounter the enemy, it will be a big trouble." I'm thinking about letting the 13th Division leave a regiment and move with you. What do you think? ”

Liu Yimin thought for a while and said, "Let Chen Dayong lead the third battalion to stay and protect my safety with the guard battalion." The rest of the troops must leave tonight. After arriving in Deyang, the troops were immediately mobilized for combat, and the cadres had to go deep into each combat squad and make sure to explain clearly to the soldiers the significance of going north to resist the war. As for the specific operational objectives and operational expectations, they will all be kept secret. In addition, two artillery battalions of the artillery regiment and three battalions of the heavy machine gun regiment were put together, and the big war was imminent, and the use of firepower should be concentrated. ”

Cai Zhong said: "Let the political commissar and chief of staff lead the troops to act, and I will stay and act with you." ”

Liu Yimin shook his head: "You go together, do as I say, and get a good grasp of combat mobilization, the enemy is already highly vigilant, this battle is a vicious battle, a tough battle, and we must overcome the cadres' thinking of underestimating the enemy." Your task is very heavy, and you must cooperate with the political commissar to do the pre-war work. When I get there, it's time to get moving. Remember to report that the headquarters troops were in place immediately after arriving in Deyang. ”

After Luo Ronghuan, Cai Zhong, and Feng Dafei left, Liu Yimin was a little confused for a while, and asked Tang Xingying to help him get out of bed. Tang Xingying didn't dare to call the shots, and ran to report Chen Tong and Ni Hua.

By the time Chen Tong and Ni Hua arrived, Liu Yimin had already gotten out of bed by himself.

(To be continued)
