Chapter 2, Section 18 Veteran
Eighteen: Veteran
Aunt heard Wang Mingming say that she was going to fight hard with the devil, and it was a big deal to die. She spat at the ground and said, "Bah, bah, don't say that you can't die, don't say that you are young."
Since you're staying, you're going to prepare for the worst. After the fall of Nanjing, it was dangerous for you to live at home. I advise you to go to the safe zone.
Commander Tang supported the work of the security zone while fighting the Japanese army, and he tried his best to solve the difficulties of the security zone and meet their demands.
He sent hundreds of police officers to assist with armbands in the security zone. The anti-aircraft artillery units on Wutai Mountain were withdrawn. At the same time, the barricades built by the National Army on the Shanxi Road were removed.
In order to prevent the devil's plane from bombing the safe zone, he withdrew the national troops with yellow armbands from the safe zone, which was his last effort for the people of Nanjing.
"He had limited funds, he did everything he could, and he did his best."
Speaking of Commander Tang, Wang Mingming firmly believed that Commander Tang was an anti-Japanese general, and the people of Nanjing admired him very much.
The aunt said that the 100,000 army under his command was fighting alone, and Wang Ming was surprised to hear it. To resist Japan, we must unite from top to bottom, unite as one, and fight in unity in order to defeat the Japanese army.
She thought about it carefully, thinking that what the aunt said was reality. The defenders of Nanking did not have friendly forces to fight together. No troops were supporting the defenders of Nanjing.
She had heard that the high-ranking generals were dissatisfied with his defense of Nanjing from the beginning. Now I'm waiting to see how good he looks.
She couldn't help but sympathize with him very much, and she was very upset for him, how could an anti-Japanese general who was supported by the people and a soldier who was willing to live and die with Nanjing.
The more she thought about it, the more she couldn't figure it out, she really didn't understand.
She believed that Commander Tang had firm confidence in defending Nanjing, and that he would be able to overcome no matter how great the difficulties were. The more you fight alone, the more you have to defeat the enemy. Erect military might.
Wang Mingming hoped that he would lead thousands of troops to drive out the Japanese army. I hope that he will fight a miracle of resistance against Japan in Nanjing. It is especially hoped that the defense of Nanjing will be a great victory that will shock China and the rest of the world.
The aunt said solemnly: "The people who stay in Nanjing all hope like this, but if you think about it carefully, hope is too far away from reality. That is, impossible.
"Nanjing, a lonely city with 100,000 lonely troops, the enemy army is besieging the city on three sides, and the top has to defend to the death, and the lone army fights against the water, how can this battle be won!
Although there were 300,000 Japanese troops, only 50,000 Japanese troops attacked Nanjing. If there was a force that could help the defenders of Nanking at this time, the situation of the war would have changed.
"But where is this army!
"Girl, I hope you are realistic, and don't have so much hope. The more hope you have, the more disappointment you have, and the fact that you have so much hope shows that you are weak.
"You have to train yourself in these days of chaos. The bombs of the Japanese army are not terrible, nor are the Japanese soldiers terrible, but what is really terrible is the panic in their own hearts.
"In the years of war, we must first of all take a correct view of the strength of our enemies, and only by defeating the enemy spiritually can we destroy the enemy intellectually.
"At your age, I am a health soldier in the revolutionary army, an ordinary military doctor. During the battle to recover Nanjing, I signed up for the women's death squad. ”
Wang Mingming's eyes widened in surprise, she knew from the book that the battle to recover Nanjing was a revolution led by Sun Yat-sen to overthrow the Qing Dynasty.
She looked at her aunt suspiciously, this middle-sized white and chubby aunt, she didn't look like an anti-Qing veteran at all. And a fighter for death squads. She couldn't believe it was true.
But she was willing to listen to her. She was interested.
The aunt said: "Our captain's name is 'Yin Weijun', which sounds like a man's name, but she is actually a seventeen-year-old girl. ”
Wang Mingming exclaimed: "Ah! At the age of seventeen, he became a captain. And the captain of the death squad. Thinking about how great it is that she led a death squad to fight against the Qing army.
"You people who fought for the overthrow of the Qing Dynasty and the establishment of the Republic of China are truly remarkable. Auntie, tell me slowly. I love to hear it. ”
The aunt said: "It was 1911, and we were the left route army of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang coalition army. It's the army of the Confederate.
"The leaders of the League will command us in Shanghai, and the mission of our coalition forces is to recover Nanjing."
Wang Mingming said: "Auntie, your words remind me of my homeroom teacher, who told the story of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang coalition army attacking the Shogunate Mountain Fort.
"At the time, I thought it was a very distant past, and we have to remember them and learn from them, and it has nothing to do directly with our generation.
"I never thought of meeting a soldier of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang coalition army today, and it was a female soldier. It's a death squad, I'm so glorious, I'm so happy, I admire you and I'm proud of you......
The aunt said very modestly: "I don't have anything, my comrades-in-arms, those members of the female soldier death squad are worthy of admiration." ”
At that time, the female soldier death squad of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Allied Army, where Aunt was located, was a team that could fight and kill, and was invincible. The Qing army was terrified of them and defeated themselves without a fight.
The female death squads have been rushing in front of the large army, and they have occupied the upper town and laid down the high bridge gate. In the battle against Yuhuatai, the female soldier death squad was the main attacking team.
At that time, the pigtail army was very stubborn, and the death squad charged several times without success. The battle was fierce.
At this time, the captain shouted: "Sisters, the reactionary army has indiscriminately killed innocents in the city of Nanjing, and they have caught people who cut braids and people in suits and shot them on the spot."
"They are murderous and sinful. The city of Nanjing became a city of terror. City of the Dead. Now it's time to settle accounts with them!
"Sisters, destroy them with the bullets of our hatred. Kill for the recovery of Nanjing!
The female soldier death squad rushed forward in a hurry. The Qing army couldn't resist the rout, and they ran away one by one.
The leader of a Qing army saw that all the female soldiers rushed up, and he shouted: "When you come back, all the people who come up are girls, kill me." Whoever catches him alive will be his wife.
The fleeing Qing army looked back and saw that all the female soldiers were in their early twenties, the military uniforms added to their heroic appearance, and the smoke on their faces could not hide their white and beautiful.
At a glance, you can see that it is all the best of you. Qing Bing was stunned and smirked one by one. Led by the commander, they suddenly shouted and pounced.
Yin Weijun raised his pistol and shouted: "Qing Army Turtle grandson, your aunt and grandmother, I am Yin Weijun, the captain of the female soldier death squad, if you want to die, come up." ”
After she finished speaking, she opened her bow left and right and put down a few Qing soldiers in front of her. When the other Qing soldiers heard the name Yin Weijun, they all hugged their heads and ran away.
After the female death squads fought hard, the Qing army left the corpse and fled. The female soldier death squad finally occupied Yuhuatai.
After the recovery of Nanjing, whether it was a revolutionary soldier or an ordinary person, they admired the female soldier death squad very much.
In the teahouse, in the bookstore, and in the excerpts, the common people of Nanjing made up stories about their achievements and legends everywhere.
Although many years have passed since the revolution that my aunt experienced, she still remembers it vividly. Looking back on it now, it seems as if it happened yesterday.
Every year, she has to go to the battlefield of Yuhuatai to see the battlefield of that year, where she looks back on the battles of the year and remembers the sacrificed comrades.
She was wounded in that battle and was unable to participate in the attack on Zhonghua Gate. She told Wang Mingming what she had experienced, hoping that she would be strong. Bravely fight against the Japanese devils.
The aunt said: "If Nanjing falls, we will not be slaves to the country." Be a warrior. Fight with our bravery and wisdom. ”
Wang Mingming is very grateful for her aunt's concern for her. She said, "Auntie, thank you, this is your best care for me.
"Just now the bomb exploded not far away, and the air wave overturned me, and I was worried that the devil's plane would shoot at me, and I really panicked.
"I have not experienced war, I have not participated in a revolution like you. I have listened to your heroic deeds in the revolution, and I have learned from you.
"Please believe me, I will be strong, and I will fight them to the end like a warrior in the face of Japanese bandits!"
