"Huaijiang Daily" published the most detailed version of the incident of the US soldiers harassing female students, the article praised the wit and courage of the girls and the police, the soldiers are not afraid of power, and take action, in order to meet the needs of the general public, the article has a little deductive color, the US soldiers are described as clowns, and the two parties Chen Bei and Liu Xiaoyong are handsome and handsome, and the justice is tall.

The day after Christmas Eve, the teachers and students of the senior high school, who were still immersed in the joy of friendship with the air force pilots, suddenly heard an explosive news.

Just last night, the same story played out in Beiping, but this time the heroine was not so lucky, the girl in the pre-study class of Peking University, eighteen-year-old Shen, was killed by two American Marines near the Dongdan Cinema in Beiping**!

The students didn't say a word and marched in the streets!

The teachers and students of the senior high school were filled with indignation, and took to the streets, and found that the seniors of Jiangdong University had also taken to the streets, and thousands of people poured onto the central street, chanting slogans, and the momentum was huge, and the policemen were about to cry.

Yang Shugen was still at the forefront of the group, his thin body bursting out with great strength, and he shouted in the cold wind: "Murder! Indemnify! Apologize! U.S. troops get out of China! ”

On the roof of the provincial government building, Shen Kaizheng, the head of the military command, led several subordinates, holding a telephoto camera to capture the leaders in the crowd.

With a "click", the poplar roots were frozen on the film.

The procession demonstrated on Central Street for two hours, and I don't know who proposed that the demonstration should be carried out on Fenglin Road to have an effect, so the group rushed to Fenglin Road.

The official residence on Fenglin Road is the real core power of Jiangdong Province, this street is lush with green trees, more than a dozen villas are distributed, and the high-level personnel of the Chen Zikun small group live in, and there are patrol police on duty at the intersection all year round, blocking the entry of small merchants and hawkers and beggars, but in the face of the huge procession, several patrol police officers can't stop it at all.

The brigade rushed in, and the guards in the official residence immediately went out, closed the big iron gate, and lined up to prevent the students from continuing to advance.

"We want to see Chief Chen!" A boy spoke up.

The Guards did not back down.

Suddenly, a door on the third floor of the official residence facing the street opened, and Chen Zikun appeared on the balcony, and the students suddenly boiled, shouting everything, but this time no one shouted to hit Chen Zikun.

Chen Zikun stretched out his hand and pressed it around, and said: "Students, I already know about the evil ** incident that happened in Beiping, I personally express my strong indignation, I agree with your proposition, the US military must withdraw from China!" ”

"U.S. troops get out of China!" A boy raised his arms and shouted again, and countless people responded, shaking the windows and glass of the official residence.

Finally calmed down, Chen Zikun shouted: "Students, it is useless for you to shout slogans here with me, the US military garrison is in the camp of the 89th Army, the demonstration is for the enemy to see, the enemy is outside the city, what are we waiting for!" ”

At his instigation, the marching students turned around and chanted slogans all the way to the barracks outside the city, Chen Zikun returned to the house, untied his collar and let out a sigh, Liu Ting brought a cup of tea: "Shout so loudly, your throat is dry." ”

Chen Zikun said: "It's not easy to deal with angry students all day long. ”

Liu Ting said: "I'm afraid that there will be such a time in the next three days, fortunately, only the students are making trouble now, and when the workers go on strike and the businessmen strike the market, the chaos will be big, by the way, the students will go to the 89th Army to demonstrate, and what should I do if Ou Guangwu shoots." ”

Chen Zikun said: "No, how dare Ou Guangwu dare to shoot at students, that is a big hornet's nest, to be honest, I have never been afraid of anyone in my life, Zhang Dashuai Wu Dashuai, Sun Yat-sen Chiang Kai-shek, Japanese devil Yankees, I am not afraid, I am afraid that students will make trouble, I can't beat and scold, and I have to coax carefully, why, those are the future pillars of the Chinese nation, if a country is no longer enthusiastic about students, then the country is really finished, by the way, what about Xiaonan, I will teach him a lesson." ”

Liu Ting said: "Mother Wang, call the second young master." ”

The servant went for a while and came back to say, "The second young master is not in the room. ”

Liu Ting became nervous: "Where can you go on this cold day." ”

Chen Zikun said: "It shouldn't be a parade." ”

The two glanced at each other and nodded in agreement.

……

At the 89th Army station, Ou Guangwu was holding a military meeting, and the 265th Division under his command was fighting fiercely with the Eighth Route Army in Jiangbei, suffering heavy losses and urgently needed reinforcements.

In the middle of the conference room was a long table covered with green tweeds, and the well-dressed officers sat on either side, quietly listening to the command of the military seats.

Ou Guangwu said: "I order!" ”

One by one, the officers stopped their waists.

Ou Guangwu said: "The 267th Division will send two regiments to the north for reinforcements, and be sure to eliminate the ** Daqingshan detachment, in order to ensure victory, I will send the artillery battalion directly under the general to you." ”

A colonel officer said: "Military seat, ** make good use of crowd tactics, the 265th Division has lost one regiment, and send two more regiments over, but the strength still cannot prevail, in my opinion, far water does not quench the thirst of the near, it is better to ask the traffic police corps stationed in Beitai to support." ”

Ou Guangwu said: "The traffic police corps is Chen Zikun's person, how can he help, even if he is willing to make a move, I don't accept this feeling." ”

The colonel said: "The military seat must have another good plan. ”

Ou Guangwu said with a confident smile: "I have sent a telegram to the Nanjing Ministry of National Defense to dispatch air force support, bomb the first defense line, and airdrop heavy ammunition, not only to rescue the 265th Division, but also to eliminate the ** Jiangbei Column!" ”

The officers looked at each other and smiled, whispered, and nodded frequently, the Air Force is a killer weapon, there are no planes, and there are no air defense weapons, as soon as the Air Force comes out, who can match it, this battle will definitely be won.

Suddenly, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and the officer on duty walked in and said, "Report to the military seat, a large number of students are rushing to the camp door." ”

Ou Guangwu was furious: "What kind of trouble are the students coming to make trouble, you can't let them rush to the barracks, the guard battalion is dispatched, and I will stop it." ”

The guard battalion sent hundreds of soldiers with guns to stop the students, but how could a few hundred people stop a team of tens of thousands, they were soon drowned in the crowd, and the surging procession came to the gate of the barracks, waiting for them were machine guns and barbed wire, as well as bright bayonets.

Ou Guangwu did not have time to greet these rioters, and asked the chief of staff to pacify him on his behalf, the chief of staff wore gold-rimmed glasses and white gloves, looked polite, and spoke in a gentle manner.

"Students, you must believe in the party-state, believe in the law, and don't be deceived by traitors, it is a crime to storm the barracks, and you will be severely punished."

A student representative made a request to the chief of staff to expel the American troops from the 89 barracks.

The chief of staff smiled and said: "This and this, the friendly troops of the United States are here to help train the national army, they are here to help us, they are our friends, how can we use the word expulsion, but I can tell you that there are no American troops in our 89th Army camp, not one." ”

The student representative said: "I don't believe it, we have to go in and check, seeing is believing." ”

The chief of staff changed his face: "Why are you like this student doll, what is the location of the military camp, even the emperor can't enter casually during the Han Dynasty, you are still a person who has read books, don't you know the story of Zhou Yafu in the Xiliu Battalion, as a student, my job is to study, not to participate in political ......"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted, and the students asked him why he was shielding the US troops, and the chief of staff was so angry that his hands trembled: "What is the matter in Beiping and the east of the Guanjiang, are you going to rebel?" ”

Yang Shugen, who was hiding in the crowd, suddenly shouted: "Students, rush in and drive away the American troops!" ”

The students had already been excited, and the people behind them rushed forward desperately, and the crowds of people rushed to the barracks, trampling the chief of staff under their feet.

Suddenly fierce gunfire rang out, and the guard battalion opened fire.

A Canadian-imported Qijiu Boran light machine gun fired a string of bullets into the sky, and it was the army commander Ou Guangwu who fired the shot, he angrily threw the machine gun to the adjutant and scolded: "Fuck it, is it a rebellion, the guard battalion will beat me, and the death will be mine." ”

Although he said harshly, he did not dare to shoot the students, but just asked the guard battalion to drive the students away with the butts and fists of their guns.

The wolf-like soldiers rushed out, punching and kicking, smashing the butts of their rifles, and the helpless students were no match for them, and they were beaten and fled, with shoes and hats all over the place, and some people who had been trampled on the ground and groaned.

"Call and ask the city police department to carry someone." Ou Guangwu brushed his sleeves and left.

……

In the evening, at the Fenglin Road Residence, Lin Wenlong came from Chongqing, and after the dissolution of the Southwest Associated University, he was ready to be transferred to Jiangdong University as a professor.

"In the future, everyone will be in the same city, and there will be a good life to take care of, so let's live on Fenglin Road." Chan said.

Lin Wenlong said: "I understand my brother-in-law's good intentions, but the university has a dormitory, and I still live with my colleagues, and academic exchanges are also convenient." ”

Chen Zikun said: "Then I won't be reluctant, where are you going to spend the Spring Festival, do you want to go back to Shanghai to see my old mother?" ”

Lin Wenlong said: "I'm going back to Shanghai, and I can take care of my mother." ”

Lin Wenjing said: "I'll go with you, Aunt Mi has worked hard for half a lifetime, and she should be happy." ”

Chen Zikun nodded yes, looked at the wall clock on the wall, it was half past six, and Xiao Nan hadn't even gone home yet.

Today's family reunion, even Chen Bei came back from the base, chatting and drinking tea with his uncle, and everyone had a reunion dinner later, the youngest daughter Jiao'er was hungry, looked at her mother, pouted and asked, "Why don't you eat yet?" ”

Liu Ting said: "Either you eat first, I'll wait for Xiaonan." ”

Chen Zikun said: "No, wait, you won't have a meal until you are there, this is the rule of our family." ”

There was silence in the living room, and everyone knew that the old man was angry.

Lin Wenlong smiled awkwardly: "It's okay, I'm not hungry, so what, let Jiao'er eat first." ”

Suddenly, everyone screamed in the foyer outside, and everyone was shocked, and then they saw the maid Wang Ma holding Xiao Nan with a bloody face coming in, wiping her tears and saying, "What a sin, who beat the second young master like this." ”

The whole family stood up, their faces full of incredulity.

Xiao Nan's clothes were torn, covered with stains and mud, one shoe was missing, his hair was unkempt, his face was blurred with blood, one eye was covered with blood, and his body was trembling.

With a plop, Liu Ting fell straight to the ground.
