Ma Lan was like a helpless little girl at this time, she was holding Lei Zhen and refusing to let go.

She kept talking, kept crying, Lei Zhen didn't know how to comfort this woman, he could only stand there silently, quietly listening to her cry. Suddenly, in Lei Zhen's heart, there was a realization...... Ma Lan seems to be impeccablely strong, but in her life, she has hardly suffered any setbacks, and to some extent, she is not much different from the little flowers cultivated in the greenhouse!

I don't know how long I stood there quietly, hugged Ma Lan and listened to her cry, until Ma Lan was tired of crying, said that she was tired, and finally fell into a deep sleep, Lei Zhen gently exhaled a long breath. At this moment, there was a sudden sound of a gentle knock outside the door of the ward, and when Lei Zhen subconsciously turned his head, he was just pushed open by the door that was hidden there.

"Lei Zhen, Captain Xie wants me to ......"

It was Yang Huimin who pushed open the door, and when she finally saw everything in the room, her screaming stopped abruptly.

Yang Huimin looked at Lei Zhen blankly, looking at Ma Lan who was sleeping in Lei Zhen's arms like a bird, looking at Lei Zhen's hands still on Ma Lan's shoulders, and looking at the sympathy and even tenderness in Lei Zhen's eyes that had not disappeared, as long as it was a normal person, he would have appropriate associations with the two of them.

At this time, Yang Huimin's lips trembled slightly, she suddenly felt a numbness, she suddenly felt an indescribable sourness, and hit her heart hard, making it a little difficult for her to even breathe.

"You ...... Very good! Head Xie...... I'm sorry, I suddenly remembered that I had something to do, so I won't bother you! ”

Speaking of which, looking at Lei Zhen and Ma Lan, who still maintained a rather intimate posture, Yang Huimin couldn't say any more, and she suddenly ran away without looking back.

Looking at the "bang", the ward door that was slammed shut by Yang Huimin forcefully, listening to the rapid footsteps outside the long corridor, I don't know why, in Lei Zhen's heart, there was a sudden sourness that even he couldn't explain. But Lei Zhen clearly knew that if he couldn't chase him out immediately at this time, everything that happened between him and Yang Huimin, and between the two of them, the future that might happen, would be cut off with this closed door.

But Lei Zhen didn't do anything, like an overly frightened bird, huddled tightly in his arms, was a strong and dangerous woman who made his heart tremble, a female soldier who jumped into the Suzhou Creek in order to cover him and Xie Jinyuan, and sank two patrol boats with just a grenade!

Lei Zhen respects a warrior who has such a strong destructive power, but at this time, he is holding this body that exudes a strong smell of medicine all over his body, and a body that belongs to the girl's faint fragrance and contains amazing explosive power...... If you are Lei Zhen, what should you do?

Lei Zhen just stood there quietly, quietly looking at the woman who was frowning because the door was closed forcefully and was slightly noisy, until she hid in her warm embrace and fell into a peaceful sleep again, Lei Zhen used the gentlest movement to put Ma Lan on the bed, and then put the quilt on her.

Turning off the fan with the cold wind, Lei Zhen picked up the radio that had been repeatedly baptized by tears, and quietly exited Ma Lan's room.

Ma Lan has become like this, so what about Xie Jinyuan? When he heard such bad news, what would he say and think?

It was on this day that Ma Lan was no longer in this ward, and her voice was gone. Some are just Shanghai citizens who received the news of the failure of the defense of Nanjing, and spontaneously came to the hospital to visit Xie Jinyuan.

In the face of these compatriots with gloomy and sad faces, and a trace of panic and confusion in their eyes, Xie Jinyuan stood up and hugged these compatriots who came to visit him one after another, as if he wanted to use his powerful embrace to pass on his strength, pride, and self-confidence to everyone.

"As long as we still have arrogance and can insist on not bowing the knee to the invaders, as long as we firmly remember that we are the descendants of the dragon and the descendants of Yanhuang, we China will not die!"

Xie Jinyuan raised his head, at this time, his eyes seemed to have seen through the fog of layers of history, and saw the brightness and take-off of the Chinese nation in the future, he said loudly: "Maybe my words are singing a high note, maybe what I say now is blind confidence." But look at the five thousand years of human civilization, I don't know how many nations and races have disappeared in this long history, in these five thousand years, our nation has been invaded by strong enemies more than once, but our Chinese nation still exists, and is even known as the world's four ancient civilizations, it is because our nation has the strongest tenacity and can resist all foreign forces! ”

Speaking of this, Xie Jinyuan suddenly raised his voice, and he shouted: "Our ancestors used a world-renowned Great Wall to resist the attack of a strong enemy for thousands of years, and today, with tanks and bombers, the Great Wall has lost its strategic significance. But as long as we join hands and unite as one, we can shape a great wall of flesh and blood in front of our own country again! Now all we have to do is straighten up and don't get down! ”

There was no applause or cheers, but I don't know how many listeners there were, and they silently bent their waists in front of Xie Jinyuan.

Xie Jinyuan's day was spent in this way receiving groups of visitors, he was like a small lighthouse, although it was not high, and the light emitted was not intense, but he was trying to tear through the darkness around him, and poured out the light and warmth without reservation.

It wasn't until the reception time at the hospital had passed and the last group of visitors disappeared in front of Xie Jinyuan that Xie Jinyuan's face showed a tired look. He sat on the bed and was silent for a long time before he suddenly let out a soft sigh: "Before the war began, I didn't make preparations, since I had planned to defend Nanjing, but I didn't evacuate the people; After the start of the war, the top command remained wavering, placing all its hopes on the intervention of the Western powers and the Soviet Union. How many hot-blooded men who are not afraid of death, but who are afraid of death, have no value and meaninglessness, die on that battlefield, they are really incompetent and tired to death of the three armies! ”

Lei Zhen looked at Xie Jinyuan deeply, when no one was around, Xie Jinyuan lifted his disguise, and it was not until this time that Lei Zhen knew that Xie Jinyuan was not so strong as he looked, he also had times when he was weak, he also had hesitations, and he would also be sad in the face of absolutely unexpected defeats and fiascos. But he was able to carefully hide his weaknesses and squeeze out the strongest faces to comfort everyone.

This...... Probably the pressure and pain that you have to endure to become a spiritual leader, right?!

The door of the ward was pushed open, and Ling Weicheng walked back with a bowl of egg noodles that had been cold.

"The kid hadn't eaten for a whole day." Ling Weicheng sighed and said: "She just kept curling up on the bed, no matter how I persuaded her, she said that she had no appetite, as the saying goes, people are iron and rice are steel, how can her body withstand such a toss now?" ”

"She's not like us." Xie Jinyuan said in a low voice: "Wei Cheng, haven't you noticed, although she has received strict training in the military camp, which has given her the quality of an excellent soldier, but on her body, she still has the imprint of a child from a wealthy family, or it can be said to be empty-eyed. A girl like her, who has a good family environment and has joined the best troops, can really be called the pride of the sky, although she seems to be impeccable, but because she has never suffered a real blow in her life, after being knocked down by an absolutely unexpected blow, it will be more difficult for her to get back up than normal people. ”

Xie Jinyuan sighed lightly: "For us soldiers, our own troops are our second home. Although soldiers must learn to look at life and death on the battlefield with a plain eye, after all, soldiers are still people, not machines, and our blood is hot! As long as you really put your feelings into the barracks, who can be indifferent after hearing such bad news and knowing that all the brothers and sisters in the family have died on the battlefield? In that small place in Shimonoseki, we have fallen tens of thousands of brothers, tens of thousands of civilians, I can't even resemble what kind of scene it will be, even the corpses will be stacked in several layers......"

Xie Jinyuan couldn't say any more, and at this time, he suddenly felt cold all over his body. Because he thought of a more serious problem!

The main force attacking Nanjing was based on three divisions that had just recovered from the Battle of Songhu and had just recovered through repairs. The soldiers of these units have been fighting bloodily for three whole months, and every day they have spent every day on the battlefield of blood and fire, their nerves have collapsed to the limit, whether it is a soldier or an officer, they need to vent too much, and they need to use something to relax. But in a metropolis like Shanghai, which has a multinational concession and too many mixed forces, and has become the world's attention stage earlier, they can only be cautious and can only barely suppress a normal human being, and after three months of baptism of war, they will also be abnormally destroyed**.

But it was different in Nanjing, where it was the capital of the Nationalist Axe, where there was no concession, no Ministry of Industry, and no Chinese and foreign journalists who thought about covering the war every day. When Nanjing, a beautiful city, collapsed and finally fell into the hands of a group of soldiers who were extremely depressed and had been overstocked to the limit, according to the records left by large-scale wars in human history, in order to relieve the pressure of the soldiers, it was said that the military headquarters was likely to issue the most barbaric and effective orders...... Let the soldiers move freely!

If you want to have a crazy army that can burst out with the strongest will to fight in the face of any crisis on the battlefield, the price to pay is definitely not just rigorous training and bushido spirit! Behind the madness, what is hidden is often the beast surname that human beings have not been able to cleanse and evolve after 5,000 years of civilization! Only by constantly strengthening this beast surname, and even deliberately indulging, can a truly crazy war machine be cultivated!

Xie Jinyuan let out a long breath softly, he turned his head to look at Lei Zhen, and said, "Lei Zhen, when all the injuries on your body are healed, let's go." ”

"We fought the Battle of Nanking for only twelve days before we failed. I'm sorry, but it looks like I have to take back what I said to you. Now that I, Xie Jinyuan, have lost my turn to decide. ”

Speaking of this, Xie Jinyuan suddenly raised his voice: "But if one day, there is hope in the Anti-Japanese War, and I can return to the battlefield with my subordinates, I hope that even if you are thousands of miles away, you can get this news, and you can still rush over and find me all night and night!" ”

Struggling to get out of bed, Xie Jinyuan found a few books and a dictionary on his bedside table, and he sent these things to Lei Zhen with great importance. Xie Jinyuan gently stroked the dictionary that looked brand new, should have asked his wife Ling Weicheng, with the increasingly scarce money in their hands, and just bought it, and said softly: "You have probably learned to use the dictionary to decipher words you don't know these days, right?" Lei Zhen, you are indeed a very talented child, and your absolute focus on learning things has made you have absolutely proud progress and achievements. I guess even if no one teaches you, you can carry this dictionary and read through the contents of these books, right? ”

"These books, one is my favorite reading of Sun Tzu's Art of War, and the other is the notes that I have been constantly taking since I was at the Whampoa Military Academy, although there is nothing to boast about, but it records a little bit of my experience as a soldier for so many years, and my personal views and opinions on some major battles in China. There is also this thickest book, which does not seem to have anything to do with war and military affairs, but is just a book about Confucianism. To be honest, it's so profound that even I struggled to read it at the time, and it takes a lot of time and perseverance for you to understand it. But you must know that China is a country that has been influenced by Confucianism for thousands of years, and this kind of thinking has become, to some extent, the moral standard that determines our normal behavior. On the battlefield, you must start from scratch and know the meaning of the word 'self'! ”

Lei Zhen nodded hesitantly, he really didn't have any confidence at all. It's too difficult for a person like him, who has just studied with Xie Jinyuan for a month and a half, to flip through a dictionary and read a book that talks about Chinese philosophical thought, right?!

Xie Jinyuan picked out another book from it and said in a deep voice: "There is another book at the end, I know you may be reluctant to read it, or even disgusted, but you must read it!" ”

Lei Zhen looked at the book that Xie Jinyuan specially picked out, he and Xie Jinyuan have been together for so long, and he can learn a few words with Xie Jinyuan every day, but now the words he can write by hand are still pitiful, the name of the book is three words, and he can only recognize the "five" character at the front. But on the cover of this book, the dazzlingly red and flamboyant Sun Flag, and the Samurai Saimoto standing under the sun flag and carrying a katana on his back, stabbed Lei Zhen's eyes in an instant.

"The name of this book is 'Gowaden', and it is a biographical book about the life of a famous swordsman, Miyamoto Musashi. In Yumoto, Miyamoto Musashi is one of the most respected heroes, his fame, no less than our Three Kingdoms era of the martial saint Guan Gong, it can be said that every samurai in Yuben, all his life to Miyamoto Musashi to emulate, he is the god of war in the minds of all Samurai! ”

Xie Jinyuan said in a deep voice: "If you want to defeat your enemies, you should know them, understand their hopes, understand their pursuits, understand their spiritual beliefs, and understand the source of their motivation and dignity!" So, you have to read it, you have to read it, you have to read it, you have to understand it better, you have to understand its essence better than those samurai and soldiers who believe in the spirit of bushido! If you can't do that, you're a puppet and you're not qualified to take revenge on them at all! ”

Facing Xie Jinyuan's eyes full of encouragement and sternness, looking at Xie Jinyuan holding it in his hand, the thick stack of books, and thinking back to what Xie Jinyuan just said, "Now that I, Xie Jinyuan's life, it is no longer my turn to call the shots", Lei Zhen suddenly froze.

Both Xie Jinyuan and Ma Lan said that when China gained the upper hand in this war, Xie Jinyuan and more than 300 of his subordinates would soon be released, get their weapons back and return to the main army smoothly. But now that China has tasted an unprecedented defeat and crushing defeat in Nanjing, their capital has been captured, and their troops are dead on the Yangtze River, how will the Ministry of Industry and the Western powers, which can only be described as grass on the wall, treat Xie Jinyuan and these more than 300 Chinese people, and how will they face the "extradition" request put forward by the military? !

Looking at the sadness and anxiety in Xie Jinyuan's eyes that could not be concealed, Lei Zhen's whole body began to tremble slightly. Xie Jinyuan personally handed over to him, where are a few books, this is Xie Jinyuan can already foresee the future of himself and more than 300 subordinates, and all his hopes and his unfinished mission are delivered to Lei Zhen's hands!

"The wounds on your body will probably take another month to heal, although the time is a little rushed, but during this period of time, Wei Cheng will teach you literacy every day, and I will personally teach you various command tactics and skills, if Ma Lan can recover, I hope you can also ask a special operations expert like her for the essence of small-scale operations."

"Remember, if you want revenge, you can't do it alone, you have to have like-minded partners! And only well-developed limbs and good marksmanship are not enough. Xie Jinyuan stretched out his hand and pointed to his head, and said in a deep voice: "You must also arm this place!" ”
