Ten: Return to the heart like an arrow

Wang Mingming knew that his mother-in-law didn't like tears. She wanted to show her mother-in-law her strong side, she secretly wiped away the tears on her face, stabilized her mood and pretended to be calm to say goodbye to her mother-in-law.

The mother-in-law said, "Remember, you must not cry when you see your parents. At such times, the cry of a child will tear the hearts of parents. Let's go. ”

Wang Mingming said: "I remember. She strode out of the gate, got into the car, sat in the back seat, and said, "Let's go." ”

After she got married, she went back to her mother's house once, because Japanese planes often bombed her, and she was afraid that the road would not be safe, so she never returned to her mother's house.

She's been busy with Kiko's safety lately, and that's a big deal, and she didn't even think about going home to see it. Today, her mother-in-law arranged for her to meet her parents, which was something she did not expect.

She was excited and moved, and she couldn't wait to fly to her parents' side immediately. She looked intently ahead, hoping that the car would hurry up and hurry.

The car had not yet left the city, and the air defense sirens sounded. Xiao Wang, the concierge sitting in the co-pilot's seat, turned his head and looked at Wang Mingming nervously. He was waiting for her to speak.

Wang Mingming was eager to go home at this time, and she didn't hear the air raid siren at all. She wished she could see her parents sooner.

She had a lot to say to her parents after a long absence. She also asked her parents to leave Nanjing as soon as possible. She believed what her second sister said, and death was coming to Nanjing.

The second sister never said a word, she opened her mouth today, although she is not a golden mouth, but what she said is 100% true.

Wang Mingming was thinking: The Japanese army wants to intimidate China and make the Chinese people afraid. They must have been killed in the Nanjing Massacre.

The Japanese army wanted to make the indomitable China surrender in fear and trembling through brutal means. Perish in heaps of blood and bones.

Suzhou was the starting point of the Nanjing Massacre, although Nanjing was not the end of the massacre. But the Nanjing Massacre must have been the largest and most brutal massacre.

Wang Mingming thought of this before noticing that the air raid sirens were being shouted over and over again. People have become accustomed to air raid sirens, but they are still hiding. There are no pedestrians on the streets anymore.

The car sped down the concrete road. Since Nanjing has its own cement factory, Nanjing's roads and sidewalks are all poured with concrete.

Seeing that Wang Mingming did not respond to the alarm, the porter shook his head helplessly and looked ahead in contemplation. The driver asked him, "What are you thinking?" ”

The porter said: "I wonder why the Japanese army is attacking so fast. ”

The driver smiled and said, "I heard that the national army set up a lot of defensive lines when they retreated, and they were stopping the Japanese attack. The battle was fiercely fought.

"When the Chinese army was blocking the Japanese attack, many generals and colonels died on the battlefield. There was also a girls' battalion, full of young female students, who fought very bravely and remarkably.

"If they hadn't stopped the Japanese attack, the Japanese army would have reached the city of Nanjing. It's too late for us to go into exile.

"I'm going to take the whole family to my father-in-law's house in Nanchang, Jiangxi tomorrow, you seem to be staying in Nanjing, why don't you leave."

The porter said: "It's not that I don't want to go, my mother is seriously ill, I can carry her on my back, and I have a grandmother in her seventies." She couldn't stand the traffic.

"I have a daughter-in-law who has never been to the house, and she left with her family, and I decided to stay. Take care of the elderly. The devils are coming, if they want the lives of the old people, I will take their lives first.

"To be honest, the common people of Nanjing want to go into exile, the people who drive the carriages, the people who step on the three wheels, the porters on the docks, and the guys in the shops all want to leave.

"These poor people have nothing but this life and a house to live in, they don't want a house anymore, they want to keep it. But no one could help them in exile.

"They don't have the money, they can't live in the field. They have no relatives or friends to turn to in the mainland, and they have no other way out but to stay in Nanjing. They're in a hurry!

The driver said, "You're right. Since the government transferred 100,000 troops to protect Nanjing, Commander Tang took office and vowed to live and die with Nanjing. It gives them hope.

"Every day, the people look forward to the victory of the Chinese army. They are watching with hope and waiting. What they were waiting for was the news of the continuous retreat of the Nationalist army, the fact that the Japanese army had approached Nanjing.

"They began to wonder if Nanjing could be saved. They were shaking their heads and sighing. They live in fear every day. It's a sad day.

"Their only hope is for the defending army, and they say that as long as the army is in them, there is a glimmer of hope."

The porter shook his head worriedly and sighed, "It's unreliable." The army was ordered to disappear. The common people will suffer. ”

The driver said: "Now Nanjing is preparing to establish a refugee area, and the people are ready to go to the refugee area." Hopefully this life will be saved in the refugee area.

"Although the lives of ordinary people are not valuable, they are a life after all. However, the Japanese side has not yet responded to the question of establishing a refugee area. ”

Wang Mingming took the driver's words and said: "Commander Tang knows that the defense of Nanjing is not the end of the War of Resistance and it is impossible to achieve victory, so he strongly supports the matter of the International Security Committee.

Regardless of whether the Japanese side agrees to the establishment of a security zone, Commander Tang first supported the International Security Committee in establishing a security zone.

"He demarcated the boundaries of the security zone and withdrew the troops from the security zone. Rice and white flour were allocated to the safe zone. Whenever possible, the activities of the International Security Committee should be funded.

"His purpose was to give a way out of life for the people who could not go into exile. He saw the security zone as an integral part of the defense of Nanjing.

"A general defending the city has the army and the people in his heart, and the defense of Nanjing will definitely be able to fight a beautiful battle.

"Whether he can keep Nanjing or not is not up to him, Commander Tang is a hero of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression if he keeps Nanjing, and he is also a hero of the War of Resistance if he can't keep Nanjing."

The driver was a little puzzled and said: "Third aunt, Commander Tang used to be a warlord, and he opposed Lao Jiang twice, and after the defeat, he took refuge in Lao Jiang and became a general with no real power."

Some people say that he took the initiative to defend Nanjing this time for himself, that is, to have military power. I don't believe that he can live and die with Nanjing. Said that he was opportunistic and anti-Japanese. ”

Wang Mingming was not very happy and said: "Anti-Japanese resistance is to fight hard. There is nothing good to speculate. How about Commander Tang not to care about it in the past, Lao Jiang also lost the three eastern provinces in the past.

"Commander Tang is now standing up to defend Nanjing, which is to resist Japan, and whoever resists Japan is a hero. It's the big festival. It should be for sure.

"He didn't want military power for himself, but to resist Japan and defend Nanjing. Defend the common people who have not yet fled in Nanjing.

"Without military power, what can he do to defend Nanjing, and what is there to blame for his defense of Nanjing.

"When the enemy is present, we should unite to fight the enemy together. Don't listen to these people's nonsense in the future. ”

The driver saw that Wang Ming was angry and knew that there were too many words, so he immediately smiled and said, "Third aunt, I listen to you, I don't listen to those people's nonsense."

"Listen to the sound of the Japanese plane overhead, let's hide."

The driver saw that Wang Mingming did not reply. He said a little anxiously: "Third aunt, let's hide." ”

Wang Mingming took a deep breath and looked at the sky and said, "The enemy plane has not yet arrived, and it may not be bombed here when it arrives." You're bold to open. The national army and the Soviet air force would fight. You don't have to be afraid. ”

The driver shook his head and said there was no way. There are no more vehicles on the streets. The driver saw that there was no place to hide, and he stepped on the accelerator and rushed forward for a while.

He had just slowed down when he heard the rumbling of airplanes in the northern sky. He said anxiously: "Third aunt, the plane is in the north, and I heard the sound of the plane flying towards us."

"I think it's better to hide. Don't be in a hurry for a while. ”

Wang Mingming also heard that the plane was flying this way, she looked at the sky, and the plane had not yet arrived. She said, "Then hide for a while." Enemy planes can't see us.

"Recently, the bombing by enemy planes has been more severe than in the past, which shows that the Japanese army is getting closer and closer to Nanjing. The decisive battle was imminent, the Japanese army was desperately bombing, and they were using planes to clear the way
