Fourteen: Inexplicable sympathy

Lao Liang sighed and said very incomprehensibly: The Japanese army began the general attack on the 10th and failed to capture the city of Nanjing on the 12th.

"The Japanese officers were restless, the soldiers were exhausted, they needed to rest, they needed to replenish, they needed to wait for backups. The general offensive of the Japanese army has failed.

"The exhausted Japanese army is making a final struggle. They gathered their forces and prepared for the final blow, why did the Chinese army give up resistance at such a critical moment, why did it retreat. ”

He shook his head and said, "I really don't understand what happened to the Chinese army. ”

After Lao Liang finished speaking, he turned around and shouted to the Japanese soldiers in Japanese. Wave to them and let them go. The devil heard his shouts, saluted him, and went away.

Lao Liang said to Wang Mingming: "Look, everything looks like this inside the safe zone, what will happen when you get out of the safe zone, I came in from over there, you can't imagine how terrible it is over there."

"Get in the car. I'll send you where you go. He saw that Wang Mingming was still standing there and hesitating. He said, "I'll send you where you're going and you'll trust me completely." ”

He saw that Wang Mingming's leg was seriously injured, and he helped her into the car. Although Wang Mingming was suspicious of him, the sixth sense told her that this person was credible. You can get into his car.

There is indeed a difference between him and those devils. But what's the difference, they are both Japanese, why is he different from those devils?

She wondered about the question. It's even more unclear. She was tempted to figure it out, and she accepted his help. Her heart was still on high alert.

Lao Liang got into the car and sat down, and then handed the tea he drank to Wang Mingming. He said, "This is the water I drink, if you don't care, just drink it and refresh me and tell me where you are going?" ”

Wang Mingming did not answer him. He added, "Wherever you go, I will do my best to get you where you go." Once again, I hope you can trust me, I'm a journalist.

"I am a war correspondent sent by the Japanese base camp, and I am here, and I have the privilege of being in front of the Japanese army. Their officers don't dare to offend me, and you don't have to worry about the Japanese soldiers.

"But you have to remember that there is a difference between me and them. For the safety of you and me, don't open your mouth if you encounter trouble on the road. Everything is up to me.

The costume you wear is worn by many ladies and ladies in Japan, and the Japanese soldiers can't figure out your identity based on your appearance. If you speak, you reveal that you are Chinese. ”

Wang Mingming felt his honesty, she took the tea and drank it dry, and said coldly: "I want to go out of the door, my home is far away." I want to go home. ”

Lao Liang breathed a sigh of relief. He took out the map, looked at the car carefully, and said, "Okay, let's go to the place you said." I'll get you out of the Divine Gate safely. ”

Wang Mingming asked him tentatively: "I am not familiar with the road to Shence Gate. I only know the general direction, and from here head north. Are you sure to send me out of the door? ”

"I drove there last night, and the road was full of dead bodies," he said. The Japanese soldiers who stood guard in front of them did not let them pass, and there was still a battle there, and the fighting was fierce.

"I wanted to go and take a few pictures, and they told me that my peers had gone. I passed the Xuanwu Gate and turned back. There's no problem with you going over there now, and I'd like to go there too. ”

Wang Mingming said: "I am relieved that you are familiar with the road. ”

Lao Liang said: "The road out of the safety zone from here is full of Japanese soldiers, and they kill people regardless of men, women, and children, and rob things when they see them. Set fires everywhere, do all kinds of evil,

"Now the city of Nanjing is full of fires and corpses everywhere. When you see those soldiers committing crimes, you will be dissatisfied, you will be angry.

"For your safety, I ask you to restrain yourself. We are not in a position to stop those crimes, and we need to remember their crimes and settle accounts with them in the future.

"Don't forget you're coming home. I'm sending you home. This is our common task, and nothing should interfere with our mission. ”

Wang Mingming nodded and said, "I have already seen their crimes, and anger and tears have been buried in my heart. I'll do as you say. Exercise restraint. ”

Lao Liang said with concern: "You were alone on the road just now, I don't understand why you didn't find a place to hide, it's too dangerous, I see you're already very tired......

"I can understand that you're in a hurry to get home, but safety is more important. What's more, when you leave the safe zone, there are Japanese soldiers everywhere, and I'm really worried about you.

"It's as if I've been living in the barbaric Middle Ages for the past two days. They are even more cruel to young women like you! You're going to die. ”

Wang Mingming drank water, and his body was much more comfortable. She asked him: "You are a reporter in the Japanese base camp, and you are the person they trust the most, why are you not of the same heart with them?"

"They know that you are helping the Chinese and you will not die. What good is it for you that you help me, is it your compassion? ”

He said, "That's a good question." To say sympathy, it is also sympathy. Any Japanese with a little conscience could not stand the situation in front of them. will sympathize with the plight of the people of Nanjing.

"These Japanese soldiers who did evil, one day they wake up, and their conscience will blame themselves. He will return to Nanjing to bow down to the dead and ask for forgiveness.

"In addition to sympathy, I also have an attitude towards this war, which the Japanese government has launched is completely a war of aggression and an unjust war.

"I am not alone in our Japanese opposition to this war. Japan was under fascist rule, and many people who opposed the war were persecuted. But others are still fighting.

"Two of my friends were captured and tortured, they would rather die than give in, and they swore to protect the organization from betraying their comrades. In the end, he was killed. I'll never forget them. ”

Lao Liang's eyes were full of tears of anger against the fascists, and his heart was full of pain. His resolute gaze condenses the forces of anti-fascism.

For the first time, Wang Mingming heard of a Japanese man at war against his own country. Although she did not understand why he would sympathize with the Chinese and why he would oppose this war of the Japanese government.

But she welcomed such Japanese, and if there were more such people, the war would not be able to continue. She also sensed that he would be in danger just like his friend, and she developed an inexplicable sympathy for him.

Lao Liang said: "I shouldn't have said this to you. I shouldn't have told you this for my safety, and I shouldn't have let you know for your safety.

"On the one hand, it was your patriotic fervor just now that infected me. You don't want to live for your country. You call me admiration.

"On the other hand, I am overwhelmed by the misdeeds of the Japanese army in Nanking in the past two days, and I want to stop their crimes, but I can't do anything about it.

"I need to vent or my spirits will break. I need to fight, another way of fighting. I don't vomit or be unhappy, I can't help but say this. ”

Lao Liang breathed a deep sigh of relief and said, "I have said so much in my heart, I am relaxed. I helped you, and I'm comfortable in my heart now. ”

Wang Mingming said: "Although I don't understand why you are doing this. But I believe you are a man of conscience. Trust that you are fighting against them. Believe that you will win.

"Please rest assured, whether you believe me or not, I would rather die than betray you like your friend."

Lao Liang said: "I believe in my vision and my judgment even more. The environment in which I live has honed my ability to recognize friends and foes, and I can't be wrong with people. I believe you. ”

Lao Liang looked at his watch and said, "It's time to eat, you still have a lot of way to go, you have to eat something." I can see you're hungry and tired. ”

Wang Mingming didn't feel hungry, but she was really tired. The legs are weak and can't be lifted, and the waist can't be straightened. Her face was hot, and she knew she was very sick and she was about to collapse.

I should have eaten something, I had breakfast at four o'clock in the morning, and I drank a few sips of water from Lao Liang just now. I didn't feel hungry, but my stomach was already empty.

I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on if I don't eat anymore.
