Eighteen: Enjoyable

Wang Mingming said with great certainty: "If the Eighth Route Army comes to defend Nanjing, I believe that the defense battle will not be fought like this, and it will definitely be won." ”

Lao Liang asked her in some surprise: "You must know something." ”

Wang Mingming said: In the past, my old housekeeper and my friend told me that the defense of Nanjing would be defeated by their own people. They did an analysis, and I wasn't quite convinced at the time.

"Now I can see it clearly. The Japanese army did not break through the city of Nanjing, but the Chinese army retreated on its own initiative, and they ceded Nanjing to the Japanese army.

"The defense of Nanjing was so defeated that it was unclear. What preserves the strength of the anti-Japanese war, what Japanese troops cross the river to encircle Nanjing, etc., are not reasons to abandon Nanjing. ”

Lao Liang said: "Can you explain more clearly?" ”

Wang Mingming said: "To preserve the base camp of the anti-Japanese forces, we should not agree to the Nanjing defenders to close the river, and we should be prepared to cross the river and retreat." At the same time, the population was evacuated.

"Since the base camp agreed to close the river, I am afraid that the Japanese army will cross the river and surround it.

"Retreating without a fight, giving the good city of Nanjing to the Japanese, it is difficult to explain to the current Nanjing people, and it will not be possible to explain to history in the future.

"The soldiers did not understand why they were retreating, but had to obey orders. The common people did not understand why they should abandon Nanjing, why they should abandon their people. But there is no way.

"If the Eighth Route Army defended Nanjing, it would never do this! The old housekeeper said that they would avoid the edge of the Japanese army like Pingxingguan, surround the Japanese army, fight the Japanese army's backup, and cut off their supplies.

The old housekeeper also said that the newspaper said that there would be no positional battles with the Japanese army, and that the brave would win if they dared to engage in short-handed combat. The artillery tanks of the Japanese army were not used. The plane is in a hurry in the sky. ”

Wang Mingming's things made Lao Liang very excited, no one told him about these things in the past, and no one around him knew about these things. Even if someone knows about it, they don't dare to talk about it.

He asked her in surprise: "What else do you know, tell me quickly, let me have a good time." All this time I fought alone, alone. I know too little about the outside world. ”

Wang Mingming said, "My mother-in-law is a member of the League and an old Kuomintang. She told me about the victory of the Northern Expedition in the first cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. My mother-in-law learned about the Communist Party at that time.

"During the Xi'an Incident, my mother-in-law admired their handling of the Xi'an Incident the most, and my mother-in-law said that they stood tall and saw far. Not your average person. ”

"My mother-in-law also told me that Chairman Mao is a great person, that person is the true son of the dragon, who can save China, and he is the future of China. The world will listen to him in the future.

"I asked my mother-in-law, Chairman Chiang, who now rules China. The mother-in-law said that Lao Chiang would only look at the face of the gringos when he did things, and he only believed that the great powers could not see the power of the countrymen.

"There is no undefeated war under his command. He lost the Northeast, North China, North China, and Shanghai. In the future, he will lose Nanjing and China.

"My mother-in-law won't let me talk about these things to the outside world, and I'll lose my head. But don't be afraid now, Nanjing has been lost, whether China will lose it or not is a story for another time......"

Lao Liang said: "I didn't know you in vain, you know so much." This is the first time I've heard these things. I'd love to hear more from you about Yan'an and the Eighth Route Army. ”

Wang Mingming said: "My mother-in-law knows a lot, I have listened to her, she is now in Chongqing, she must be safe, now when I mention my mother-in-law, my heart is sour, I really miss her." ”

Lao Liang said: "You mentioned the Communist Party, and your Communist Party of China has Yan'an and its own army. It's remarkable.

"In Japan, the first thing we did after the establishment of the fascist dictatorship in the military department was to persecute the communists and progressives. The Communists and progressives had to go underground.

"Since the signing of the International Agreement between Japan and Germany in Berlin, the fascists have intensified their persecution of Communists and progressives.

"But the reign of darkness and blood does not frighten them. They fought the military fascists in every way. The final victory must be them.

"I resolutely fought against the fascists in the military department and did my best to work against the war. I'm very happy to be able to help you today. This is a little contribution I make to the anti-war. ”

Wang Mingming asked him tentatively: "Are you a member of the Communist Party of Japan?" ”

Lao Liang did not answer directly, he said: "I hope that you can unite the anti-Japanese people to fight the Japanese bandits in the future." Do more work for your country's resistance to Japan.

"If you can't stay in the occupied area anymore, I hope you can go to Yan'an. A cultured and conscious youth like you will have a good development there. ”

Wang Mingming said: "Thank you, I have heard of the Communist Party of China in the past, but I did not expect to meet the Communist Party of Japan today. She smiled happily.

Lao Liang smiled slightly, he changed the topic and said: "Nanjing City is already full of Japanese soldiers. It's dangerous for you to live in this city. That's what I'm worried about.

"When you get home, you have to hide in a safe place with your family. I've got a copy of the ID here for you to bring, and the photo on it looks like you. The name is 'Keiko Yamamoto. ’

In the future, if you encounter Japanese soldiers who want to trouble you, you should not speak, because you do not know Japanese, and you should arrogantly show them your documents.

"In the future, if you have something to do with me, just use it. Be careful on the road. ”

Wang Mingming said: "My Japanese name is Keiko Yamamoto? Doing so smacks of being a traitor. Not good. Her face sank.

Lao Liang felt something, he smiled and said: "It's like we went to eat the Japanese army's food, ate him, and have to fight against them." ”

Wang Mingming thought about it and thought that Lao Liang did this out of his own safety. She took the ID and saw that it was all in Japanese, and she couldn't read it.

She said: "I pretended to be dumb when I saw the Japanese soldiers. It's a good idea. She put her ID in the pocket of her underwear and said, "I'm not going to use it." I'll use it to find you when I have a chance in the future. ”

Lao Liang said: First of all, you are not afraid, you have documents, you are doing a just cause, you have nothing to fear. Secondly, in order to protect yourself, you pretend to be dumb and pretend to be real. ”

Wang Mingming trusted the person in front of him. "I hope to see you again in the future," she said. When you go back and pass by the city gate, the devil asks you about the woman in the car, how do you answer? ”

Lao Liang said: "Don't worry, there are three people in a shift, and they change shifts every hour." It's been a shift change. I'll answer them when I really ask. ”

He turned around and said, "We'll have a meeting later, I wish you peace." "He's gone.

Wang Mingming was glad that he would meet such a good person, it was really an endless road. If he hadn't helped him, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to get out of Nanjing City, and he wouldn't even have his life.

She felt extremely relaxed when she left the occupied area, she could breathe freely, and she could walk freely. She walked leisurely towards Shogunate Mountain.

She walked more than two miles and saw someone on the street, she couldn't help but be very excited, and then walked forward, the number of people on the street gradually increased. But they walked with their heads down and their hearts down.

The people here don't have such a good mood as Wang Mingming. She saw the wounded soldier lying on the ground with his eyes closed, and there was no desire to survive on his pale face.

Standing or sitting on the ground under the trees were soldiers who had lost their weapons and policemen who were disheveled and sad. They had nothing to say but sigh.

The house on the side of the road was bombed by the devil's plane, and the people who lived here fled. The people who live here now are soldiers who have retreated from the city and exiles from other places.

They don't want a good house, as long as they can shelter from the wind and rain. A few families in exile divided a better house into several rooms and opened the door, intending to stay there for a longer period of time.

Wang Mingming walked slowly in front of them, and no one paid attention to her. At such times, no one will pay attention to who comes and who leaves. They are desperately waiting for the devil to kill.

She came to the crossroads, where the people were gathered in groups of three or five, and they were talking with sad faces and sighs.
