"Of course! Turn around. ”

The young man slowly put his right hand into his pocket, slowly turned his body to look at it, and then breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It turned out to be you Shen Shaofan!" ”

"Then who do you think you are! Liu―Zhi-Zhao―. Shen Shaofan smiled: "You haven't been in contact since you went out of Huangpu." I heard that you don't work in the army, huh? ”

The young man looked Shaofan up and down and said, "Oh! I inherited my father's business. ”

"I see!" Shaofan said suddenly.

The young man looked at the time and said, "Shaofan, I have something important to do, let's talk about it another day." With that, he hurried away.

"Hey!" Before Shaofan could react, he saw the young man leave like the wind and said to himself: "Ahhh It's still the same. At that time, leaving Huangpu was also like this, and he disappeared without a word. ”

The young man is hiding from a disaster, and his name is Liu Zhizhao Huangpu 7th student. In fact, he is a secret ** has been engaged in underground party activities in Nanjing, and after graduating from Huangpu, the organization specially did not let him enter the Kuomintang department in consideration of Nanjing's intelligence work, and has been lurking in Nanjing as a small open of Nanjing National Commercial Bank to do underground intelligence work. The defection of Gu Shunzhang, the backbone of the Shanghai underground organization, made Shanghai; The underground organizations in Ningbo and Ningbo suffered serious losses, many party members were arrested, and Liu Zhizhao, although his identity has not been revealed, is also in danger.

Liu Zhizhao came to a tailor shop on Zhongshan Road, which was well-known in Nanjing, and many rich ladies and ladies came here to make clothes, especially the cheongsam, which was very famous, and even Chiang Kai-shek's wife came here to patronize it.

Zhizhao came to the store and said to the boss: "Boss, is my purple cheongsam ready?" ”

"It's hard to get into the purple material, so let's change it to pink!"

Zhizhao smiled: "I bought it for my girlfriend or should it be red." ”

The boss looked at it and said, "Then let's go inside and pick up the ingredients!" ”

"Okay."

Liu Zhizhao and the owner of the tailor shop walked into the inner room and went to the attic. I saw that there were several people in the attic dressed in the same way, two men and one woman, two men were about forty or fifty years old, and one woman was young, but only in her twenties.

"Zhizhao." One of the men said, "Are you okay on the road?" ”

"It's fine!" Liu Zhizhao said with a smile.

The tailor boss said, "Everyone is here, let's start!" ”

"Hmm!" The crowd nodded.

In fact, the owner of the tailor shop is the director of the Nanjing underground intelligence station, surnamed Pan, and others call him Boss Pan. Boss Pan said: "Because of Gu Shunzhang's defection and betrayal in Shanghai, our party's losses in the white area are quite large, and the superiors ordered us to be prepared for long-term lurking, and we must not act unless we have to, so as to ensure our secrecy." ”

The crowd nodded. Boss Pan said again: "Liu Zhizhao; Comrade Xie Xiaoling's superiors want you to study in the Soviet Union in order to protect the young backbone of our party. ”

"It's ......." Liu Zhizhao said: "Boss Pan, my identity in Nanjing will not be exposed immediately, I think I still stay in Nanjing and work with you." ”

Boss Pan said categorically: "No! The superior has specifically named both of you, and you must obey. ”

At this time, the girl spoke: "Now is the most difficult time for the party, but we are going to the Soviet Union to ....... ”

Boss Pan said with a smile: "You don't have ideas and considerations, you go to the Soviet Union to study for the needs of the revolution." Tomorrow, I will take a boat to Hong Kong and then to the Soviet Union, and in order to cover your identity on the road, the two of you will go to Hong Kong for your honeymoon as a newly married couple. ”

"Got it." Liu Zhizhao said with a smile: "The revolution has also brought a daughter-in-law, which is also a beautiful thing." ”

Everyone laughed when they heard this, only Xie Xiaoling said softly with a shy face: "Isn't this pretending!" ”

Boss Pan smiled: "Xiao Xie! Our Xiao Liu is a young talent in our party! You can really think about it! ”

"Hahaha......" The small attic is full of Lotte's laughter and confident spirit.

Nanjing Hotel is a state-run hotel of the Nanjing government, which often receives some foreign friends, and the Jiang family occasionally holds some more grand family banquets in this hotel. The chairman's wife, Song Meiling, especially likes to win the hearts of the people for her husband, and this time, all ten high-achieving students from Huangpu who went to Germany to study in Germany were invited to the Nanjing Hotel to attend the Chiang's family banquet.

Shen Shaofan is on the list of studying abroad, so he naturally has to go to the banquet and take a look at his beautiful aunt by the way. Speaking of Shen Shaofan and Song Meiling also have a relationship, Shaofan often lived in Chiang Kai-shek's official residence when he was a child, and Song Meiling liked it, and Shaofan's fluent English was taught by Song Meiling.

Shaofan came to the banquet hall and saw that many classmates had already come, standing there in groups to chat, the banquet was a Western-style buffet, and all of them were the descendants of high-ranking officials and some students of the ninth phase of Huangpu, in fact, Shaofan had never been interested in this kind of party, if it wasn't for Aunt Meiling's invitation, he wouldn't have come, but he never expected to meet a girl who affected him at this banquet.

Shaofan first came to Song Meiling's side to say hello, and then chatted with their classmates at the same time, the topic is naturally the most fashionable "encirclement and suppression" at the moment, and several students will go to Hubei, Henan and Anhui to "suppress the Communist Party", Shaofan and his best classmate Sun Zhiyu; ZHAO Meng; Bai Xiaolong; Zheng Xiaohu and a few people came to the side. These five people were sworn friends when they were in Whampoa, and they were called the "Five Tigers of Whampoa".

Bai Xiaolong said, "Look at their looks!" Before he set out on the expedition, he was coaxed. ”

"Yes." Zheng Xiaohu said: "I don't know how to win?" ”

"Danger!" Sun Zhiyu said: "I think the principal will still be disappointed." ”

Shaofan said: "I feel the same way. ”

Zhao Meng leaned over and said, "When do you say this encirclement and suppression will be fought?" ”

"It's coming!" Shao Fan Dao.

"What's coming soon?" Zhiyu, Xiaohu and others all gathered around and asked non-stop.

"Shaofan!" At this time, a handsome young man stood in front of him. Shaofan looked at it and exclaimed: "Xifan! ”

"What? Be surprised! The boy laughed.

Shaofan smiled: "It's gone." You, the little Kai of the Kim Group, will also come to such a party. ”

"Huh...... Madame Chiang could not have invited her. "The boy is called Jin Xifan, the son of Jin Juyi of the Jin Group, and the playmate of Shaofan when he was a child.

Shaofan and Xifan came to the side and asked each other about the situation at home, and saw a charming girl come to Xifan's side and said, "Big brother! Who is he? ”

Xifan smiled: "My friend Shen Shaofan." She is my sister Jin Xiwen, studying in Fudan. ”

At this time, Xifan was called by a friend and said: "Xiwen chats with Shaofan, he is very funny." "Said and left.

Shaofan and Xiwen looked at each other and didn't know what to say, and at this time, the dance music sounded under the dimming of the good lights. Shaofan said: "Miss Jin is dancing?" ”

Xiwen nodded slightly, and the two walked onto the dance floor hand in hand. The two didn't dare to look at each other directly with their eyes flashing, but Xiwen broke the embarrassing situation and said, "You and my brother are friends, why haven't I heard him talk about you?" ”

"Hey!" Shaofan said: "He didn't dare to mention it!" Your father didn't like a soldier like us the most. Besides, when I was a child, your brother and I used to get into trouble at your house. ”

"Hey!" Xiwen said: "I remembered. When my brother is often beaten by his father, he often mentions that Xiaofan is you, right? ”

Shaofan smiled: "It's contemptible." ”

The two smiled at the same time, and the two slowly chatted about speculation. Later, the two simply left the banquet scene and walked together on the streets of Nanjing, from parallel to hand-in-hand to relying on each other.

Shen Shaofan was about to step out of the country, before he was about to make a favorite girlfriend, I don't know how happy he was, when he left, Xiwen came to see him on the boat, and also gave him a cross necklace as a token of love, but he didn't expect that it was this ferry parting, and it became a real breakup, until the two were together after the "Battle of Nanjing". We will not talk about this matter for the time being, and we will write about it later.

The ocean-going ships sail with the dreams and dreams of the teenagers, and their goal is Germany. They wanted to bring the strongest military knowledge back to China and make a career for the country's strength, but what they also did not expect was that when they returned, they would usher in the longest and most brutal anti-aggression war in Chinese history -- the War of Resistance Against Japan.

Shen Shaofan looked at the seagull flying away, and the thoughts in his heart were like the ups and downs of the waves, he didn't know when he would be able to return to China? I don't know when I'll see Xiwen? I wonder what will be the fate of China in a foreign land? He stood on the deck with his arms outstretched to meet the sea breeze, as fearless as if he were facing any challenge.

Ocean; Endless sea. The ship, which had been adrift at sea for nearly three months, finally came to the military port in Shanghai, and a group of officers in military uniforms walked down from the ship, all of them with high morale; Gear up. They were going to sharpen their fists because they had endured it for nearly six years, and when they had just set foot on German soil, they heard that the Japanese had invaded the three northeastern provinces of China and launched the 918 Incident. It was now July 1936, and the Whampoa sons who had studied abroad had returned, and they had returned from Germany and the United States with new concepts and ideas of war. The hardships they have endured after nearly six years of studying abroad have also taught some of them what to do when they return home.

In 1931, Shen Shaofan and other ten Whampoa elites embarked on the road to study in Germany, but they never imagined that Germany would be their first stop to study, and then they also went to the United States Military Academy at West Point. Shaofan and others studied military affairs at the German Military Academy until 1933, when Germany was preparing to turn the entire country into a war machine, which coincided with the Chinese Nationalist Government and the United States; Hero; France submitted the Covenant, and the German government did not accept Chinese students, some of the 31-year-old students returned to China after their study life, and Shen Shaofan and Sun Zhiyu; Bai Xiaolong; Zheng Xiaohu; Zhao Meng chose to go to the United States to continue their studies.

Shen Shaofan stood on the dock in Shanghai and looked at this piece of land that had been shattered with emotion, and he had countless words to say in his heart, but he didn't know how to express them. Six years of studying abroad has given his fair face a bit of swartz and sophistication. "It's back! Finally home. Shaofan's vicissitudes of life in those years turned out to be such a simple sentence after he came back. He patted the dust on his body, straightened out the wanderer's heart, took off his military hat, took a deep breath of his country's air, and walked towards the distance.

"Shaofan!" At the end of the dock was a young man also dressed in military uniform, whose dark complexion looked like he had been in the army for a long time.

Shen Shaofan came to the young soldier with a smile and said, "Heh! How can a dignified international student be a captain and company commander? ”

"If you don't want to "suppress the Communists", you can stay here and be a small company commander and do everything you can with the Japanese. The young man laughed. He asked the 8th phase of Huangpu to go to Germany a year earlier than Shaofan, and Shaofan met in Germany and became friends. In 1933, he returned to China because he was unwilling to go to the front line of the suppression of the Communist Party, and he was not favored by Chiang Kai-shek, so he sought a position as a company commander in the 29th Army.

Tianfang said: "Go!" I invite you to dinner. "Say this feather; Zhao Meng and Xiaolong; Xiaobai also came one after another, and the six of them moved forward side by side, talking and laughing.

Shanghai is a strange city that can hardly be thought of as China's land concessions, and China and Japan are at loggerheads, but years of war have made it a place where the rich and rich are gathered, and the lights never sleep. The Oriental Hotel is located in Puxi, Shanghai, which is still under the jurisdiction of the National Government, and the Oriental Hotel is also one of the most luxurious hotels in Shanghai at that time.

When everyone was chatting happily, Sun Zhiyu mentioned Huang Huancheng, who returned to China with Tianfang for 33 years; ZHANG Zhiheng; JIANG Linren; Chen Feng and Chen Zeen.

Blocking Tianfang sighed and said, "The same people don't have the same life!" Huang Huancheng disappeared a few months after returning to China, and later heard from the officers who suppressed the Communist Party that he saw Huang Huancheng there. As for Zhang Zhiheng! Served as a staff officer in the Northwest Army. Jiang Linren was a relative of the principal and served as a regimental commander in the Presidential Guard Corps of the First Army. Chen Feng is still at the headquarters of the Xi'an Suppression of the Communist Party, and I heard that he will soon return to serve as the deputy commander of the 31st Division of the Second Army. The most hateful thing is Chen Zeen, as soon as he returned to China, he responded to He Yingqin's internal and external strategies, and the principal with a deep strategy was already the commander of the 12th Division of the First Army, stationed on the periphery of Nanjing. ”

Bai Xiaolong said in surprise: "I didn't expect that there would be such a big difference between the same Huangpu. ”

Shaofan took a sip of wine and said: "When Huang Huancheng was in Huangpu, he was very close to the people of Sun Wen's YMCA, and the red thought in Germany was also very strong, and it was expected that he would defect to **. As for Chen Feng and Zhang Zhiheng, they were originally standard soldiers, never asked about political matters, and they would beat whoever they asked him to fight. Jiang Linren didn't stay long in the guard regiment, and the principal was letting him be gilded. It is not surprising that Chen Zeen is the head of the teacher, his father is the president of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of Nanjing, and most of the military expenses of the president have to be prepared by his father Chen Li. Therefore, in terms of face, it is natural for Chen Zeen to be the teacher. What's more, it is not surprising that his father studied in Japan in his early years, and their Chen family is close to Japan. ”

Sun Zhiyu sighed and said, "When I was abroad, I never understood why we were defeated by a small country in Japan?" Now it seems that the policies of the pro-Japanese faction and the government are the key. ”

Zhao Meng said: "Tomorrow we will be in Nanjing, I don't know if the principal will arrange for us to serve in that army." ”

Zheng Xiaohu took a sip of wine and said: "Anyway, I won't suppress the CCP, if I want to fight, I will fight the Japanese." ”

Bai Xiaolong picked up his wine glass and stood up and said, "Come!" Brothers, our ideal toast. ”

"Good!" Tianfang said: "Cheers to the little devil." ”

"Cheers to Sanmin!" Sun Zhiyu also stood up.

Zhao Meng also stood up and said, "For the War of Resistance!" ”

Zheng Xiaohu said: "In order to be consistent with the outside world!" ”

"For the oath!" Shen Shaolong said.

"Cheers!"

The vows of the six hot-blooded teenagers in the Shanghai Oriental Hotel made them start a new pursuit of ideals.
