After a night of baptism of blood and fire, the air in Shanghai was filled with a strong smell of blood. In particular, the Wujiaochang area, where the battle was most intense, and the North Sichuan Road were full of corpses of Japanese puppet soldiers. Ambulance teams organized by churches, Red Cross societies, hospitals, and the public in Shanghai began to treat the wounded overnight, and even the bodies of Japanese soldiers were cleaned up, and the surrendered Japanese prisoners were responsible for registering their number plates, identifying them, and sending them to the crematorium for cremation. Including the commander of the 13th Army, Shigeru Sawada, and the chief of staff, Yasuo Tangchuan, were also sent to the hospital for bandaging and treatment after being sent to the China Merchants Building for Liu Yimin to see.

After the war, the troops were supposed to rest. But it was too late, and the funds and various materials seized in Shanghai had to be transferred as soon as possible. Liu Yimin didn't even give the soldiers a chance to visit Shanghai, and strictly ordered all troops to be put into the transfer of supplies. In this way, the citizens of Shanghai who got up early saw a strange scene: there were patrols of the Eighth Route Army on the streets, transport teams of the Eighth Route Army on the wharves, and the Eighth Route Army sleeping on the streets by the walls.

The soldiers can still change shifts and sleep for a while, Liu Yimin, Cai Zhong, Gao Yuan, Cheng Cuilin, Tang Xingying, Zhao Xiaoman and others don't even have the opportunity to sleep, they are responsible for one aspect of the work, and they are so busy that their feet don't touch the ground.

Soon after sending the telegram to the Central Committee and the General Headquarters, he received a congratulatory telegram from the Central Committee. The congratulatory telegram said that our army's victorious attack and occupation of Shanghai is another example of capturing the enemy's strongly-fortified large cities after recovering Taiyuan and Jinan and attacking and occupying Tianjin and Qingdao, and has fully proved the power of our army in Shandong in always upholding the political and ideological work with the movement of complaining about grievances as the main content, and has proved the results achieved by our army in Shandong in vigorously developing the military industry and improving the equipment of the troops.

Subsequently, the chairman and the boss sent a secret telegram to Liu Yimin, demanding that all difficulties be overcome and the seized materials from Shanghai must be transported away. In particular, medicines, medical cotton, bandages, surgical instruments, etc. Not only did they have to transport away the medicines of the captured Japanese soldiers. It is also necessary to think of purchasing a large amount in Shanghai, and not hesitating to use up all the seized funds. The Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army urgently needed all kinds of medicines.

Liu Yimin immediately called back to the chairman and the boss, saying that it was impossible for the troops to stay in Shanghai for a long time, and that the main force would retreat tonight and return to Shandong in concealment. The seized materials were transported in three batches, one batch had already been shipped last night, and a large-scale shipment was carried out tonight, and the follow-up materials were planned to be carried by British and American ships. How much can be transported, do your best.

A telegram has just been sent here. received a notice, and Song Meiling led Wu Tiecheng, Song Ziwen, and Dai Li to arrive by plane.

Cai Zhong sneered at the time and said that the peach picking was coming, and it was too obvious to grab the fruit, and he was not afraid of the soldiers being cold.

Liu Yimin didn't think so, he was waiting for ** to send someone to Shanghai, and he was looking forward to Chiang Kai-shek ordering Gu Zhu's troops to rush to Shanghai and hold out in Shanghai for a while.

When Song Meiling and others landed at Hongkou Airport, it was when Ni Hua's "Xichuan" cruise ship docked at the Diners Club Wharf in Pudong. Liu Yimin asked Cheng Cuilin, director of the Navy Management Committee, to pick up Song Meiling and others. Let the guard troops send Ni Hua's mother and daughter directly to the headquarters. He was originally going to welcome his beloved wife and daughter. But he has to attend a symposium for journalists, and he has no time, so he can only not pick up Ni Hua's mother and daughter.

What Liu Yimin didn't expect was that before the press conference was held, he received the news on the radio about the signing of the "Japan-Soviet Treaty of Friendship and Neutrality" announced by the Japanese government.

The Japanese made it clear on the radio that on the night of September 18, 1941, the Japanese Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to the Soviet Union and the People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs of the Soviet Union Molotov were in Moscow to negotiate the war between Japan and the Soviet Union, and the two sides agreed to end the war in the Far East. The Japan-Soviet Treaty of Friendship and Neutrality was signed. The treaty consists of three articles, valid for five years, and the main contents are: 1. The two sides promise to end the war between Japan and the Soviet Union in the Far East from now on, restore and maintain peaceful and friendly relations between the two countries, and respect each other's territorial integrity and inviolability; 2. The Soviet Union returned to Manchukuo the Far Eastern lands plundered by Tsarist Russia from China after the signing of the Sino-Russian Treaty of Nebuchu, recognized the sovereignty of Mongolia to Manchukuo, and recognized the sovereignty of Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands to Japan. Respect for the territorial integrity and inviolability of Manchukuo. 3. Japan recognizes that the sovereignty of the Far Northeast Territory, including the Kamchatka Peninsula, which was assigned to Russia at the time of the signing of the Sino-Russian Treaty of Nebuchu, belongs to the Soviet Union, and guarantees to withdraw all its troops from the above-mentioned areas, to maintain a neutral position in the Soviet-German war, and to maintain peace in the Far East.

Immediately afterwards, the governments of the Soviet Union and Japan issued statements one after another pledging to earnestly implement the treaty.

After listening to the radio, Liu Yimin opened his mouth and said, "!" Then he said to Cai Zhong that the Soviet Union sold China, and Japan sold Germany. It's a dirty deal!

Cai Zhong thought about it and said: "This is also something that cannot be helped, the Soviet Union is under too much pressure, and it is eager to end the war in the Far East so that it can deal with the Germans with all its might." I think that when Stalin signed the treaty, he was probably already thinking about how to clean up little Japan in the future. ”

Liu Yimin was actually so happy that he was about to jump up, but in the face of Cai Zhong, who was like a brother, he didn't dare to expose his true thoughts, but he still couldn't help but say: "I'm afraid the Soviet Union will no longer be able to help China." In this way, when we destroy the Kwantung Army, the Far Eastern territories that belong to us can be directly taken back. I'm afraid the big brother of the Soviet Union will be embarrassed to fight with us for these territories again, right? ”

Cai Zhong has worked with Liu Yimin for the longest time, and he may not have felt that in fact, his thinking has far surpassed that of other party comrades.

After listening to Liu Yimin's words, Cai Zhong shook his head and said, "That's not necessarily. If we defeat the Kwantung Army before the USSR defeats the German devils, the USSR will naturally have nothing to say. If the Soviet Union had defeated Germany and returned to destroy the Kwantung Army, this treaty would have been nothing more than a dead letter. Stalin would not have recognized this humiliating pact! ”

Liu Yimin's eyes looked straight at Cai Zhong's face, and he couldn't imagine that this old guy was now seeing the problem so deeply, and it could be said that he hit the nail on the head.

Cai Zhong added: "Stalin may not have received information about our capture of Shanghai last night. Otherwise, he would not have signed this treaty in such a hurry. Perhaps the Japanese knew that we had arrived in Shanghai and immediately informed the negotiators to sign immediately. You must know that the war in the Far East has been going on for so long, and small Japan has the upper hand again, and the two sides must have been engaged in secret negotiations, and it must be that the Japanese are asking too high a price to make it impossible to sign a treaty. ”

Liu Yimin nodded and agreed. He continued: "This Japan-Soviet treaty of friendship and neutrality solved the problem of the Soviet Union's two-sided war. The Soviets looked at the loss, but in fact they were able to concentrate their forces against the Germans, and in the long run they were wiped out, avoiding the crisis of national annihilation. The little devils are also stained, they have removed the threat of the Far Eastern Red Army to the Kwantung Army, and they can go south to Southeast Asia to grab oil and rubber wholeheartedly. The Soviet Union had no right to hand over the land of Far East China and sovereignty over Mongolia to Manchukuo, still less did it have the right to include Sakhalin Island and the Kuril Islands in Japan's territory. I expect that the National Government will issue a statement this morning. Protest against this treaty. Soon, there will be a wave of opposition to the Soviet Union's undermining of China's sovereignty. We have to be clear about this. I don't know what the chairman will decide. Lao Cai, you draft a telegram and send it to the chairman to remind the chairman to pay attention to the public opinion in China. ”

The reason why Liu Yimin made this arrangement was because after the signing of the "Japan-Soviet Treaty of Friendship and Neutrality" in history, the Nationalist Government strongly protested. **The attitude is very unclear. As a result, the masses in the rear, especially the intellectuals, are extremely dissatisfied with the **.

After speaking, Liu Yimin told Cai Zhong to urge all troops to step up their actions. As soon as this treaty of friendship and neutrality between Japan and the Soviet Union was signed, the Japanese navy could withdraw completely. The Kwantung Army also freed up its hands, and perhaps the Japanese army had already begun to deploy the campaign to recapture Shanghai last night. In case of a delay, many materials cannot be transported back, and the loss will be great.

After explaining, Liu Yimin didn't care about waiting for Ni Hua and Song Meiling to arrive at the headquarters. I went straight to the journalists' forum.

Huang Wei used to be a reporter for Shanghai's "Wen Wei Po", and now she has become a well-known war correspondent of the Eighth Route Army, and a "War Newsletter" has made her take root in the minds of readers. Returning to Shanghai this time is tantamount to returning with honors. Little girl, no, she's a standard big girl now, and her eyes are shining with excitement. brighter than the stars in the sky.

When Huang Wei came to Shanghai this time, her main task was not to lead the way for the troops, nor to cover the Eighth Route Army's battle to capture Shanghai, but to take advantage of her familiarity with the Shanghai press circles to organize and convene a forum on behalf of the Eighth Route Army for Chinese and foreign newspapers and radio reporters in the Shanghai Concession.

The conversation between Cheng Cuilin, director of the Shanghai Navy Management Commission, and reporters published on the radio is actually Cheng Cuilin's conversation with Huang Wei. This task has been accomplished. The journalist forum that Huang Wei is organizing now is the one that Liu Yimin wants to attend. The address of the venue was selected in the conference room of the China Merchants Building.

Huang Wei was very clear to the Shanghai press circles, and her good friend Li Jie, a reporter from the "Zilin Xi Bao", received a call from her to return to Shanghai, and came over overnight to help her plan this morning's press forum.

The two big girls arrived together, chattering endlessly while working.

Li Jie is talking about the difficulties of journalism after Shanghai became an isolated island, the Japanese puppet army is very inferior, and any means of threats and inducements can be used, and the Japanese army has a negative impact on the well-known "New York Times" chief correspondent in China, Harrett? Aban even made a secret move. The spies of Wang Puppet No. 76 are even more ruthless, they are simply a bunch of bandits who do all kinds of evil. In less than two years from August 30, 1939 to June 30, 1941, No. 76 assassinated Zhu Yugong and Cheng Zhenzhang of the "Damei Evening News", Zhang Yixu of the "Damei Evening News", Jin Huating of the "Declaration", and other newspapermen who actively advocated resisting Japan and saving the country, such as Li Jieying, Shao Xubai, Zhao Guodong, Feng Mengyun, and Zhou Weishan. It caused horror in the Shanghai press circles. Now, the reporters are in a nightmare every day, afraid of being targeted by the agents of Seventy-Six if they are not careful. These guys are ruthless, and they may one day throw their hands and feet at the reporter's house, stick a dagger in the door, and sometimes send bullets and threatening letters. Sometimes a reporter was walking on the road, a car stopped in front of him, a few spies got down, stuffed into the car, and dragged him to the No. 76 headquarters, where they were hanged, sat on a tiger chair, poured pepper water, electrocuted, and stabbed with steel needles. Listening to the reporters who were looking for someone to pay to guarantee that they were lucky enough to get out of No. 76 alive, No. 76 is a typical magic cave, with a heavenly prison, a dungeon and a water dungeon. Many people were so intimidated by the spies that they no longer dared to mention the word anti-Japanese.

When she said this, Huang Wei obviously felt a look of fear on Li Jie's face.

Huang Wei is talking about her life and work in the Shandong base area. Including why he wrote "War Newsletter", on-site interviews and reports, public trial of Toshio Tani, etc. Huang Wei also said that Jingjing sacrificed heroically to save her, and Li Jie's eyes widened when she heard it, and she kept asking questions.

Li Jie knew why Huang Wei joined the Eighth Route Army, and the two of them chatted while working, and asked Huang Wei how her relationship with her sweetheart was doing now, and when she would get married.

Saying this, Huang Wei's tears fell straight down, choked up and said that she was dead now, it was better not to see each other, and people didn't mean that at all. And people have wives and children, and they are divorced and remarried, even if they divorce again, I am afraid that it will not be her turn.

Li Jie began to fight for her friends, saying that Liu Yimin was bullying, such a big general, with thousands of troops under him, he was so unreliable and not like a man! In terms of appearance, knowledge, cultivation, and family background, which point of Huang Wei is worse than others? Thousands of mountains and rivers chased after it, this affection is not more precious than anything? Why did Liu Yimin turn a blind eye? Is he a stone man? How can you divorce someone else and not marry Huang Wei?

Huang Wei choked up and said that she didn't want to be emotional at all now, and wholeheartedly followed the Eighth Route Army to fight against the Japanese. Be like Jingjing, be a female soldier of the Eighth Route Army, and be a glorious martyr that the villagers and comrades-in-arms will always remember! Emotional matters, just let it completely rot to the bottom of my heart, as long as Li Jie knows it, she knows it, including her parents, don't let it know. If he is lucky enough not to die after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, he will inherit Jingjing's will and run a newspaper with the largest sales volume and the most popular readers in China, and be a bright and upright journalist.

Li Jie listened to her pitiful, and also shed tears, sighing that Huang Wei loved the wrong person.

The two girls were talking to themselves, shedding tears, and working in an office in the China Merchants Building. At dawn, he pulled out the agenda of the press conference, the list of participants, the telephone number, the address, and the background of the practitioners, and prepared to give Liu Yimin a reference.

After all this, Huang Wei and Li Jie made a phone call. Anyway, the Eighth Route Army captured Shanghai, and those reporters couldn't sleep, and many reporters ran with the troops at night to the firing line to cover news. At this time, no one was sleeping, and basically they happily agreed to attend on time as soon as they received the call, and some even asked if they could bring two more people.

At 8 o'clock in the morning, the Eighth Route Army press conference was held on time in the conference room of the China Merchants Office Building.
