Twenty-nine: There was silence in the room

A small soldier standing at the front of the queue saluted Wang Mingming and said, "Report to the third aunt, I am a recruit drizzle." I am fifteen years old. ”

He spoke Wuxi dialect. He said, "When I see you, I think of my mother." My mother is tall and slender like you, young and beautiful.

"When the national army retreated from Wuxi, our family, like most families, did not leave. Japanese troops occupy Wuxi. Japanese soldiers broke open the door of my house and stormed into my house.

My dad ran over and stopped them, and my dad just said this was my home and they shot my dad.

"My uncle ran after my dad, and he saw my dad lying in a pool of blood and went over to help him, and the devil shot and killed my uncle.

"My mom cried in panic and rushed to my dad, two devils used to bully my mom, my mom fought with them, but she couldn't deal with the two devils.

"I heard gunshots running out of the house, and I saw my mother fighting with the devils. I pounced on my mother and helped her fight the devil desperately.

"The devils who rushed through the door laughed happily when they saw us mingling with the two devils. Some of them are still screaming.

"The devil I was holding on to broke free of me, and he hit me hard with the butt of his gun. I was bored. I was dazed and saw my mother take the opportunity to pull out a bayonet from the devil and kill the devil.

"When my mother struggled to assassinate another devil, the devils at the gate shot together. My mother was shot and turned and pounced on me. Mother blocked the devil's bullet for me.

"The cold wind in the middle of the night woke me up from my coma, and I hugged my mother and cried silently. Because I'm afraid of alarming the devils. The devils built a bonfire right outside the gate of my house to keep warm.

"There were sporadic gunshots in the night sky, and the screams of women in pain were constantly heard. The air was thick with the smell of blood and scorched earth.

"My grandmother, brother and sister were all beaten to death by devils. I crawled out of the dog hole in my backyard, crawled through the streets full of dead people, and fled to Nanjing.

"I want revenge, I want to join the national army to fight devils. I was too young to carry a gun mount, and the army didn't want me, so I repeatedly begged, and the company commander took me in.

"We haven't gotten into fire with the devils yet. I haven't killed the brutal devil with my own hands. I want to defend Nanjing, and defend my fathers and brothers in Nanjing.

"We will never allow the tragedy of Wuxi to be repeated in Nanjing, and we will never let the people of Nanjing be slaughtered by devils. I didn't protect my mother, I must protect my mother in Nanjing. ”

Wang Mingming was moved, and she walked up to the little warrior and bowed deeply to him. She said: "I thank you, and the people of Nanjing thank you. Thank you, mom in Nanjing. ”

She said to the queue: "I thank all the officers and soldiers, thank you for defending Nanjing. She bowed deeply again.

The little warrior saluted her solemnly. The officer on duty shouted: "All stand upright and salute." All the officers and soldiers in the queue saluted her.

The officer on duty shouted: "The salute is over." The little soldier said, "Third aunt, you came to comfort us and send us condolences, which is to order us to kill the enemy bravely."

"Your order is the order of the people of Nanjing, the order of the motherland. It was the mother's order. Your lecture to us is the best mobilization for us.

"You encourage us to fight devils, and we listen to you. Obey your orders, we are determined to fight the devil desperately to show you.

"We will definitely be able to defeat the devils, and we will use our victory to report to the people of Nanjing and to the motherland.

"Third aunt, your lecture must be very exciting, just like my mother is teaching me, I love to listen to your lecture, you can give us a lecture."

The words of the little soldier touched Wang Mingming, and she was about to say something, when she saw the little soldier smile happily. The little warrior said: "I am a warrior now, and the warrior has no tears. ”

Wang Mingming also smiled. The warriors laughed so sweetly when they saw her. The company commander also smiled slightly.

Wang Mingming saw the soldiers smiling very honestly, and it was these honest soldiers who defended Nanjing with their bravery and loyalty to the country.

Wang Mingming found that the soldiers in front of him were all as loyal and straightforward as Qiangzi, and their hearts were full of justice. Their genuine smiles inspired her.

She straightened her bent back, and she thought it was time for my duck to be on the shelf. She couldn't help but say, "What I see in your eyes is simplicity and kindness.

"You love the country and the people, you are industrious and brave, you have built a beautiful home in your hometown and on your own land with wisdom and hard work."

The warriors suppressed their smiles and listened intently to her speech.

Wang Mingming said to the soldiers: "You are willing to give everything you have to your loved ones, to your gray-haired mothers, to your virtuous wives and lovely children.

"You are working hard to make them live happily ever after, because they are your dearest relatives. It's all to you. ”

One of the fighters said loudly, "The third aunt is too good. ”

The fighters laughed "hey" together. Their honest and sincere laughter from the bottom of their hearts inspired Wang Mingming.

She puffed up her chest and pointed to the city wall and said loudly, "Now, from the other side of the city wall, from the fertile fields, there is the rumbling of Japanese devils.

"The sound of cannon fire pierced the blue sky and got closer and closer. Shells blew up our fertile fields and burned down our beautiful villages. Blown up our compatriots.

"The devil's tank truck was full of sin rumbling through the green wheat field, and rows of devil soldiers with guns followed behind the tank car, and they pounced on us like inhuman jackals!

"The iron hooves of the Japanese invaders are trampling on our beautiful rivers and mountains! The bayonets of the devils are slaughtering our compatriots!

"The elderly mother fell in a pool of blood full of grief and indignation, the young wife was humiliated, and the child died tragically under the bayonet of the devil!

"Our beautiful countryside was burned to ashes by an evil fire, and our thousand-year-old villages and towns were blown into ruins.

"You are angry, and the flame of vengeance burns in your eyes. You pick up your steel guns and go to the battlefield of anti-Japanese flames! ”

Wang Mingming took a deep breath and said, "Brothers, what flows in your veins is the water from the small river in front of the village, and what you have in your heart is the green mountains behind the village.

"You are facing a powerful and fierce enemy. You have nothing to fear! Death is like home. Behind you are the great motherland and your relatives, and you are fighting against devils to defend them.

"Brothers of the national army, victory belongs to you! History will turn a new page because of you, and the country will forever remember your great achievements in resisting Japan.

"On the day of your triumphant return, your elderly mother will be proud of you. Your wives and children are proud of you, you are the heroes of the anti-Japanese resistance, and I salute you! ”

She bowed deeply to the warriors.

There was silence in the room. Suddenly thunderous applause erupted.

Hadron stood up from the queue and shouted: "Down with Japanese imperialism!" The whole venue shouted: "Down with Japanese imperialism!" "The venue was boiling.

It was only then that Wang Mingming noticed that there were soldiers, civilians, and clearly marked volunteers listening to her.

There were also two people with white armbands with red circles on them, and inside the circles were red crosses, and Wang clearly knew that they were members of the International Security Committee.

People are already standing on three floors inside and three floors outside. High up on the side of the street, the windows of the buildings were full of people. She smiled sheepishly.

Qiangzi said to the soldiers: "I wrote a poem last night, and I will read it to everyone." ”

Title: Our Oath!

"The iron armor of the invaders crushed the fertile fields,

The demonic wind swept the dark clouds towards the great capital.

I can't hear the 'Qinhuai Fish Song' anymore.

'Zhongshan Qingyun' has become a battlefield of gunsmoke!

Standing majestically in the midst of the artillery fire is our battle flag,

The bayonet of the Bloodblade Devil is right for our bravery.

We are excellent sons and daughters of China,

It is our oath to live and die with Nanjing! ”
