Liu Tianshu pulled Peter out of two streets, and saw that no one was chasing behind him, so he slowed down.

"Let me catch my breath, I can't run." Peter gasped, looked at Liu Tianshu and said.

"Do you speak Chinese? What is your name? People from which country? Liu Tianshu didn't expect this foreign boy to be able to speak Chinese, so he asked curiously.

The boy looked at Liu Tianshu, "My name is Peter, and I followed my father from Berlin to Peking a month ago, do you know how to do kung fu?" Can you teach me Kung Fu? ”

Peter's eyes sparkled, as early as when he was in Berlin, he had heard that Chinese kung fu was very magical, but he didn't expect that today he would meet the legendary martial arts master, and now, his idea of learning Chinese kung fu became extremely strong.

On the way to send Peter back to the foreign bank, Liu Tianshu deeply felt the persistence of the Germans, and finally had to agree to teach Peter to practice martial arts when he was free, which allowed Peter to enter the foreign bank.

The next day, as soon as Liu Tianshu came out of the teaching building, he saw Peter standing with a burly German. When Peter saw Liu Tianshu, his face immediately showed joy.

With Peter's introduction, Liu Tianshu got to know Peter's father, Sengef.

Sengev was originally a major in the German army, but after the defeat of Germany in World War I, Sengev retired to a company and was sent to a foreign company in Beiping, ostensibly as an executive of a foreign company, but secretly in charge of the company's arms trade in North China.

During the conversation, Liu Tianshu learned that Sengefu was a soldier who had been on the battlefield, and he couldn't help but be in awe, and after Sengefu knew that Liu Tianshu was a history student at Yenching University, he actually found common ground with him in history and military affairs.

came and went, and the two turned out to be New Year's friends. Liu Tianshu introduced China's history, culture, customs and customs to Sengev, and Sengev taught Liu Tianshu what Liu Tianshu was interested in, such as his military experience, military knowledge, and the development of the German army, and at the same time, he also collected a lot of military monographs from Germany, including the German military drill code, which were all given to Liu Tianshu.

As for the maintenance and use of firearms, Sengev took advantage of his favorable conditions in charge of the arms trade to conduct special training for Liu Tianshu. Of course, Sengef's help to Liu Tianshu did not come without a price. In addition to teaching Peter to practice martial arts, Liu Tianshu also served as a guard when Sengev handed over the arms to the buyer.

To put it mildly, Liu Tianshu has to play the role of a bodyguard when necessary.

Liu Tianshu walked to the door of the foreign store and found that the guards at the gate had increased a lot compared with the past, but most of these guards knew Liu Tianshu, saw him come in, greeted him friendly, and let him walk into the foreign bank.

Liu Tianshu had just walked to the small courtyard behind Sengoff, and Peter, who was busy in the courtyard, saw him, immediately threw the things in his hand, greeted him and said eagerly: "Brother Tianshu, you are finally here, my father is in the house, please come with me." ”

Although Liu Tianshu was nominally Peter's master, because of his similar age, at Liu Tianshu's insistence, Peter learned the Chinese habit and called him Brother Tianshu.

As soon as he entered the house, Liu Tianshu couldn't help but be surprised when he saw Sengefu packing up his things.

"Mr. Sengoff, what are you?"

"Tianshu is here, you sit down for a while, I'll be done." Sengefu did not stop his work because of Liu Tianshu's arrival, but motioned for Liu Tianshu to sit down first, and asked his son to make a cup of tea for Liu Tianshu.

After two years in Beiping, Sengefu magically fell in love with Chinese tea, and always had Longjing at home.

Liu Tianshu knew the nature of these foreigners, so he sat down on the sofa very naturally, and then took the dragon well handed by Peter, and tasted it with great charm.

After sitting for about ten minutes, Sengev packed a bunch of items before he came over and sat aside.

"Tianshu, Peter and I are leaving this city tomorrow, I don't know when we will meet again." Sengerf said with emotion.

In the past two years of communication, the always strict Sengefu has a good impression of Liu Tianshu, especially Peter, who regards Liu Tianshu as a good friend who is also a teacher and friend, but unfortunately the moment of separation has finally come.

"Getting out of here? Aren't you living well here? Why do you suddenly want to go back to China? Liu Tianshu asked puzzled.

"Well, Peter has been notified of the domestic conscription, and I have also received an order to return to the troops. Besides, the Japanese are about to occupy Beiping, and it doesn't make much sense for me to stay here. Sengef's expression was both sad and yearning.

Liu Tianshu did not notice Sengefu's expression, he was shocked by Sengev's sentence that the Japanese were about to occupy Beiping.

You must know that since the outbreak of the Lugou Bridge Incident, the anti-Japanese passion of the people of the whole country has been ignited, and just a few days ago, Chairman Chiang also made the famous Lushan Speech, and the reinforcements sent by the Nationalist Government are rushing to the north.

The gunshots at Lugou Bridge have been ringing for nearly 20 days, and aren't the little devils still being blocked outside Beiping City? Are the tens of thousands of soldiers of the 29th Army just decorations?

"Mr. Sengoff, the 29th Army is not the Northeast Army of the year, and if the little devil wants to enter Beiping City, I'm afraid it's not an easy task, right? As far as I know, the Central Army is moving north, and the 29th Army has reinforcements from the Central Army, so can't it keep Beiping City? Liu Tianshu couldn't help but say.

"Hehe, Tianshu, although your country is currently enthusiastic about resisting Japan, and the Nationalist Government has also sent reinforcements to the north to reinforce, but as far as I know, because that Song General had illusions about the Japanese army and was bent on peacefully resolving the incident to keep the territory of the 29th Army, not only did he not seize the fighter plane to counterattack the Japanese army around Beiping, but he thought about negotiating with the Japanese army, thus giving the Japanese time to calmly increase troops and deploy troops. According to the information I have received, the Japanese army has now gathered more than 60,000 troops in Pingjin, and the 29th Army has been divided and encircled. What's worse is that the Song general actually refused the reinforcements of the Central Army, so that the Central Army, which went north, still stayed south of Shijiazhuang. Now that the deployment of the Japanese army has been completed, the victory or defeat between the 29th Army and the Japanese army has been decided, and within five days, Beiping will surely fall. Tianshu, judging from the performance of the Japanese army after occupying your three eastern provinces, I am afraid that you will not be able to go to this university. Sengerf said in a slow tone of regret.

After arriving in China, Sengev studied the armies and military potential of both China and Japan out of military instinct. Although the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army is not worth mentioning in his eyes, the equipment and combat effectiveness of the Chinese army are inferior to those of the Japanese army, and because China has been in constant internal disputes over the years, and its national defense strength is like scattered sand, as long as the war breaks out in an all-round way, the Japanese army will have the upper hand. But if the war drags on, it is unknown who will die. After all, China, in terms of population and land, is not comparable to the small country of Japan, not to mention that China still has a cultural heritage of more than 5,000 years.

One thing is certain, however, that as long as there is an all-out war between the two sides, it will be a terrible war.

Seeing that Sengefu was very sure, Liu Tianshu couldn't help but look miserable.

In the past, I was infected by the anti-Japanese war enthusiasm of the people of Beiping, thinking that Beiping must be safe, and I didn't pay attention to the response measures of the 29th Army at all. If everything is really as Sengev said, the Japanese army has used this time to gather 60,000 troops in Pingjin and occupy a strategic advantage, then the 29th Army is definitely not the opponent of the Japanese army.

In order to avoid being surrounded and annihilated by the Japanese army, the 29th Army will be forced to withdraw from the Pingjin area.

It's just that in this way, it is the people in the Pingjin area who suffer.

"If Beiping really falls as Mr. said, this book will definitely not be read, and it seems that I will have to leave here at that time." Liu Tianshu's expression was very heavy.

Probably because of the solemn atmosphere, Peter didn't interject all the time, just sat quietly on the side.

Sengev put down the teacup, got up and walked to the table on the side, picked up a small bag wrapped in cloth and put it in front of Liu Tianshu, and said in a low voice: "Tianshu, this gun is the latest facelift that has just arrived, and it uses a 20-round magazine to feed ammunition, you can keep it for self-defense." ”

With the opening of the cloth bag, a brand-new shell gun and three magazines and two boxes popped out in front of Liu Tianshu, but this shell gun was significantly longer than the shell gun when Liu Tianshu was a bodyguard in the past.

Liu Tianshu grabbed the shell gun and glanced at it, unloaded the magazine casually, and then skillfully loaded it, feeling heavier than the shell gun he used before.

After putting the gun down, Liu Tianshu looked at Sengefu and saw that his eyes were full of sincerity, and he was no longer polite at the moment.

"Okay, Mr. Sengoff, I will accept this gun, thank you for your care and guidance in the past two years, I will definitely go to Germany to visit you if I have the opportunity."

The little devil is about to enter the city, and he doesn't know how many dangers he will face in the future, and it is a good thing to have a gun in his hand. Senge gave him this gun, using the same bullets as the old one, and even if the two hundred rounds were gone, it would be good to replenish them.

"Tianshu, you're welcome, you're Peter's teacher and my friend, I'm sure we'll meet again in the future. After I leave, Joseph will take my place, I have already greeted him, and if you need help in the future, you can go directly to him. Sengev thought for a moment and said.

After saying goodbye to Sengev and his son, he returned to school with a cloth bag with a heavy heart.

On the morning of July 27, 1937, as soon as the day dawned, fierce gunfire sounded around Beiping, although it could not be heard in Beiping City, but from time to time there were planes in the sky to make a terrible sound and swept by, and the people of the entire Beiping City fell into inexplicable panic.

At noon, Liu Tianshu was discussing the matter of the condolence group with Tang Jiyuan and a few others, when he heard a student running to say that General Song had issued a telegram to the whole country to defend himself and defend the territory, resolutely defending the land and resisting the war.

When Tang Jiyuan heard the news, his face immediately showed surprise, but Liu Tianshu was keenly aware that the battle situation in Beiping had reached a critical moment, otherwise General Song would definitely not have issued such a telegram.

Sure enough, in the evening, the atmosphere on the campus of Yenching University began to be different. Fortunately, because the school has been on summer vacation, there are not many people on the campus except for the college students who stayed to join the anti-Japanese condolence group, but Rao is like this, and the whole campus is still full of tense atmosphere.
