As soon as Madame Chiang's voice fell, many reporters present raised their hands to ask questions.

Chairman Jiang casually pointed to one of the Western reporters, and the Western reporter immediately got up and asked: "Dear Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang, I am Davey, a reporter from the British Reuters Agency, and I would like to ask, does the total annihilation of the Sakagaki Division, known as the 'Steel Army', mean that [***] has gained the initiative in the Sino-Chinese war?" Does it mean that [***] is about to launch a full-scale counteroffensive against the army? ”

Madame Chiang hastened to translate the question of the British into Chinese.

Chairman Jiang's face suddenly became solemn, and he said: "What I want to tell you here is that although [***] achieved a great victory in Taierzhuang on the battlefield in Xuzhou, the entire situation of the Anti-Japanese War is still grim. ”

"Why bayonets?" The Englishman Davey shrugged his shoulders and asked directly in Chinese.

"Because there are no bullets in the chamber!" Chairman Chiang said with a gloomy expression, "They can only fight with bayonets!" ”

"My God, poor Chinese." The Englishman Davey's face turned pale, and his right hand drew a cross on his chest.

"Pathetic?" Chairman Chiang's expression suddenly became extremely cold, and he said in a sonorous voice, "No, we don't need anyone's mercy, even if we only have bayonets left in our hands, we will not be afraid, as long as we are still alive, we will fight to the death, and the Chinese nation will never give in!" Never give in! ”

In the end, Chairman Chiang had already raised his fist with all his might.

Next to her, Madame Jiang couldn't help but start applauding.

Immediately, the entire press conference hall burst into thunderous applause, and almost all the foreign envoys, as well as the reporters of the major media stationed in Wuhan, all stood up and applauded spontaneously.

The next day, the major Western newspapers invariably carried a special report on the Sino-Chinese war under the title of "Never Give In."

Reuters special correspondent David wrote: The French Emperor Napoleon once said that in the far east, there is a sleeping lion, and once it wakes up, the whole world will tremble! Now, the foolish Sayman himself is trying to awaken this terrible sleeping lion, and I think it won't be long before they will be punished with the severest punishment.

………… Hankou Wharf.

An American girl with blond hair and blue eyes who looked as beautiful as an angel had just stepped off the ferry, and there was a tsunami-like cheer on the pier, and when she looked up urgently, she saw countless yellow-skinned and black-scalped Chinese frantically flocking to the [***] recruitment office on the north side of the dock square, and then an even bigger wave of cheers broke out on the pier.

"Oh God." The American girl covered her mouth in surprise and said, "Are these Chinese crazy?" ”

"No, they're not crazy, they're just too happy." The Chinese translator next to him shook his head and said excitedly.

"Happy?" The American girl's big blue eyes suddenly became extremely bright, and she said, "[***] Won the battle again?" ”

"Yes." A strange look suddenly appeared on the face of the Chinese translator, and he said, "It has been broadcast on the radio just now, [***] has achieved an unprecedented victory in Taierzhuang, and completely annihilated the Banyuan Division!" However, the situation of [***] is not optimistic, [***] needs weapons and ammunition, and even more so a large number of soldiers, Miss Helen, I regret that I cannot continue to serve you. ”

"Mister Lee, you don't want to continue to work as a translator for me?" The American girl was surprised and said, "Why? ”

"Because I have no time, and the Chinese nation has no time, I must immediately pick up my gun and fight the invaders!" The Chinese translator looked grim.

With that, the Chinese translator turned around and was about to leave.

"Hey, Mister Lee, you wait." The American girl hurriedly said, "What should I do if you leave?" Who will be my translator? ”

"See, there are a lot of rickshaws at the exit of the dock." The Chinese translator paused and turned around and said, "Give him the American flag in your hand, and he will take you to the American Embassy, and in the American Embassy, I think you will find a more competent translator, and I am sorry, Miss Helen, but I really don't have time, goodbye." ”

After that, the Chinese translator turned around and left, but this time there was no turning back.

The American girl shrugged her shoulders with some distress, looked at the crowd surging on the dock, and said to herself: "I really didn't expect that the weapons of the Chinese [***] team are so poor, the conditions are so difficult, but there are so many Chinese enthusiastically joining the army, it seems that the Chinese nation is a brave nation, and it seems to have been provoked." ”

………… Singapore, a house on the outskirts of the city.

A young man wearing a student uniform who looked to be at most seventeen or eighteen years old put the newspaper with the report "Never Give In" on the table, and then kowtowed to the old mother in the hall, crying and saying: "Mother, the child is not filial, this book is really unbearable, the child wants to return to China, become a soldier and fight devils!" ”

The old mother was stunned, tears suddenly flowed from her cloudy eyes, and she immediately wiped the tears on her face, and asked in a trembling voice: "Son, have you really decided?" ”

"Mother, you have told us since you were a child that we are Chinese, the descendants of Yanhuang, let us never forget where our roots are!" The young man suddenly raised his head and said with tears streaming down his face, "But now, our motherland is being invaded by a strong enemy, and where the iron hooves of Kou have passed, the land of China is already bleeding, mother, my heart is bleeding!" ”

"Okay, good, worthy of being the descendants of my Ye family." The old mother was smiling on her face, but she was crying in her heart.

"Mother, I'm leaving." The young man once again shook his head to the old mother, knocked his head nine times, and then got up and walked away, and when he was about to leave the house, he paused and turned back and said, "Mother, my son can no longer be filial to you under his knees, but I will write a letter to the eldest brother and the second brother, so that they can come back early and do their filial piety to you on my behalf." ”

With that, the young man walked away without looking back.

Seeing the figure of the young man quickly disappear, the old mother finally began to cry bitterly, and while crying and trembling, she took out four envelopes from her bosom, spread them out on the table, laid them flat, and then carefully pulled out the letter paper inside.

The first letter was sent back from the United States:

"Mother, the child is not filial, I have completed the resignation procedures today, and I will return to China, and I am determined to join the army, and I will not expel Kou from the country, and I vow not to return home, and I am not filial, so I can only ask the second brother and the third brother to be more filial. Unfilial son, Ye Chengxian, July 9, 26th year of the Republic of China. ”

The second letter was sent back from England:

"Mother, my son is not filial, I failed to complete my studies at Cambridge University, when you received this letter, my son was already wearing a battle robe, carrying a steel gun on his shoulder, and was fighting with Yue Kou on the battlefield, mother, if my son unfortunately died on the battlefield, please don't be sad, my son died for the country, died for the nation, did not insult the ancestors of the Ye family, and did not insult the Yanhuang bloodline. Unfilial son, Ye Xinxian, September 26, 26th year of the Republic of China. ”

The third and fourth letters were sent back from China:

"Dear Mrs. Ye, I inform you with an extremely heavy heart that Ling Lang Ye Cheng has sacrificed his life for the country on the front line of Songhu, Ling Lang is an excellent son and daughter of China, an unyielding descendant of Yan and Huang, he is the pride of the Chinese nation, and his heroic spirit will always be with us, the 19th day of October in the 26th year of the Republic of China, Jiang Wenzheng."

"Dear Mrs. Ye, I regret to inform you that your son Ye Xinxian has died heroically on the battlefield of Nanjing, and his sacrifice and the sacrifice of countless outstanding Chinese sons and daughters have been dealt a heavy blow to Yue Kou, they are the heroes of the entire Chinese nation, and they will also accept the eternal memory and admiration of future generations, the ninth day of the first month of the 27th year of the Republic of China, Jiang Wenzheng."

"Son, filial piety to my son." Tears completely confused the old mother's eyes, and she couldn't cry, "Your eldest brother and second brother have already sacrificed their lives for the country, and my mother is reluctant to let you go, if you also follow your eldest brother and second brother, what if you leave your mother alone......"

Not far away, Ye Xiaoxian turned around and knelt on the ground again, knocked his head three times, and then looked up at the home where he had lived for seventeen years, and then got up and left resolutely.

………… Shanghai, the backyard of Du Mansion.

The green gang boss Du Yuesheng was basking in the sun, and there was a declaration on the coffee table next to him, and the headline on the front page was also a special report on "Never Give In".

At the sound of hurried footsteps, a young man in his twenties strode into the backyard.

"Boss?" Du Yuesheng turned around and saw that it was the youngest disciple, Zhao Xueting, so he frowned and said, "You didn't watch the scene in Zhabei, why did you come to me?" ”

"Master." Zhao Xueting fell to his knees and said, "You let me go." ”

"Let's go?" Du Yuesheng's eyes lit up for a moment, and he said, "You want to set up your own door?" ”

"Nope." Zhao Xueting knocked on the ground with his head and said quickly, "I don't want to stay in Shanghai anymore, I want to go to Xuzhou and fight the devil in the Baoshan Brigade!" ”

The light in Du Yuesheng's eyes slowly dissipated, but her brows furrowed again, and she said, "Boss, have you really thought about it?" ”

"I've thought it through." Zhao Xueting said solemnly, "The apprentice is willing to lead the gang rules, go up the knife mountain, go down to the sea of fire, and then receive three knives and six holes!" ”

"Are you willing to go up the knife mountain and down to the sea of fire, and would you like to get out of the Green Gang with three knives and six holes?" Du Yuesheng said coldly, "Boss, you have to think carefully." ”

"I've thought about it very carefully." Zhao Xueting said without thinking, "Master, as long as I still have a breath of air, Xuzhou must go!" ”

After a long time, Du Yuesheng suddenly sighed softly and said, "You go." ”

Zhao Xueting looked up in amazement and said, "Master......"

"Come back early after beating the devil." Du Yuesheng interrupted Zhao Xueting and said, "You are still my apprentice, you are still a disciple of the Green Gang, and you will always be a disciple of the Qing Gang!" ”

"Thank you, Master." Zhao Xueting kowtowed three times to Du Yuesheng, and then got up and walked away.

Seeing the figure of the young apprentice quickly disappear, Du Yuesheng suddenly sighed and said, "Stinky boy, do a good job in the Baoshan Brigade, don't lose the face of our Green Gang, if the master can be twenty years younger, I will definitely go with you......"
