Zhabei, on the south bank of Suzhou Creek.

A young man in a suit and leather shoes was standing on the river embankment holding a megaphone and shouting to the Sixing warehouse on the north bank: "Brothers on the opposite side, brothers from the Baoshan Battalion, I am the secretary of Mr. Song Ziwen, Vice President of the National Axe Executive Yuan, Vice President Song, and Vice President Song asked me to tell you that the task of your Baoshan Battalion has been completed, and now, please retreat into the concession to save your useful body, and then go to the battlefield in the future and kill the devils......

Before the words fell, many citizens began to persuade them.

"Brothers, [***] on the other side, retreat to the south bank!"

"Yes, the south bank is the concession of the British Empire, and the little devils dare not chase after it."

"Brothers, you are all good, but there is no point in guarding the Four Elements Warehouse any longer, so you just listen to Vice Dean Song and retreat, right?"

The commander of the British army in the public concession finally officially stated that as long as the Baoshan battalion was willing to lay down its arms and retreat into the public concession, their personal safety would be guaranteed!

However, Song Ziwen's request to let the Baoshan battalion return to the [***] battle sequence through the concession was rejected by the concession authorities, for the simple reason that if [***] was allowed to pass through the concession, the Yue army would inevitably enter the concession to pursue, so the concession authorities could only ensure the personal safety of [***], but could not let them return to the [***] sequence through the concession.

In the anticipation of the people on the south bank, a loud response finally came from the Sixing warehouse.

"Fathers and fellow villagers on the other side, your kindness has been received by all the soldiers of our Baoshan Battalion, as well as Mr. Secretary from Nanjing, please tell Vice President Song, we still say the same thing, defending the land and resisting the war is the duty of the party, as long as we still have a breath, as long as we still have one person, we will never let the little devil step into the Sixing warehouse half a step!"

When the young secretary was about to persuade again, a middle-aged man wearing glasses finally couldn't help but stand on the river embankment, snatched the megaphone from the young secretary's hand, and shouted: "Is it the battalion commander Yue of the [***] 98th Division on the other side?" I am Soong Tzu-wen, vice president of the Executive Yuan of the State Government, and I have brought with me an order from Mr. Jiang Wenzheng, the Supreme Chairman of the Military Commission, who orders you to immediately disarm and retreat into the public concession! ”

"Brothers, soldiers should make it their duty to obey orders, and return to them!"

"Your anti-Japanese war task in the Sixing warehouse has been successfully completed, your heroic anti-Japanese war has greatly inspired and inspired the whole [***] people, even the overseas Chinese have been moved by you, and now, the whole [***] people hope that our heroes can come back alive, come back to our middle alive, and continue to lead everyone to fight against the ...... of the Kou."

Song Ziwen's words came from the bottom of his heart, and immediately infected many people at the scene.

Many old people even cried bitterly on the spot, and many enthusiastic young people present expressed their hope to join the Baoshan battalion and follow the command of Battalion Commander Yue to fight against the Kou and defend China!

A middle-aged man wearing glasses suddenly stood on the river embankment, holding a megaphone and singing, and in an instant, an impassioned melody sounded on the south bank of Suzhou Creek!

China will not die, China will not die, you see the national hero Battalion Commander Yue;

China will not die, China will not die, you see those 200 brave men fighting alone in the eastern battlefield.

There is artillery fire on all sides, and jackals on all sides.

I'd rather die than back down, I'd rather die than surrender.

Our flag fluttered and fluttered in the encirclement.

Two hundred strong men have one heart, and 100,000 strong enemies dare not be it.

Our actions are magnificent, and our integrity is magnificent.

Compatriots, get up! Compatriots, get up! Go to the battlefield quickly, and take two hundred strong men as an example.

China will not die, China will not die, China will not die......

The hustle and bustle on the south bank of Suzhou Creek disappeared in an instant, and even the little devils on the north bank stopped shooting very interestingly, and there was only one voice left on the north and south banks, a slightly hoarse but heroic voice, singing the song "Song of Two Hundred Heroes" to the heart, which made people feel enthusiastic when they listened to it!

After a long time, the loud voice sounded again in the Sixing warehouse: "China will not die, yes, China will never perish, Vice President Song, please tell Chairman Jiang that behind us is Shanghai, and behind Shanghai is our capital Nanjing, we have no way to retreat, we have no choice but to fight to the death!" In order to defend Shanghai, to defend Nanjing, to defend the Republic of China, why should we die? ”

"Battalion Commander Yue, I'm ......"

Song Ziwen originally wanted to persuade a few more words, but when the words came to his lips, he found that he couldn't go on, and behind Song Ziwen, tens of thousands of people wept silently.

On the other side of the river, the loud voice sounded again: "Fathers and fellow villagers, don't cry, don't be sad, how can there be immortals in war?" Since we put on this military uniform, we have no longer regarded ourselves as living people, born in troubled times, at this time of danger when the country is ruined, it is the misfortune of our soldiers, and it is also the great fortune of our soldiers! ”

"We don't want to die, who doesn't love the world, who doesn't love their parents, wives and children at home? But as a soldier, you should go to the battlefield for the country, even if the horse leather shroud is not complaining, fathers and fellow villagers, to be able to die for the country, to be able to die for the nation, for my generation of soldiers, is it not a blessing? Great blessings! ”

"Camp Commander Yue!" The middle-aged man who was singing with a megaphone in his hand just now suddenly hissed and shouted, "You and the [***] brothers in Baoshan Camp are all in good shape, as you just said, behind you is Shanghai, and behind Shanghai is our capital Nanjing, and we have no way to retreat, so we will no longer persuade you to retreat into the concession, but what can we do for you?" Even if it's a small thing that you can do! ”

The people around echoed and looked at the Sixing warehouses on the north shore with extremely expectant eyes.

The loud voice sounded again: "We are not short of food, drink, or ammunition, and besides, these things are contraband demarcated by the concession authorities, and you can't transport them even if you want to; If possible, please send someone to bring a camera, preferably a tape recorder, our Baoshan camp will soon die for the country, we will soon leave this world forever, the brothers want to ...... Leave some thoughts for their families and loved ones. ”

At this moment, the people on the other side of the river couldn't hold back any longer, and immediately began to cry one after another, and even many tall men were crying, on the river embankment, Song Ziwen couldn't help but take off his glasses and wipe his tears, and then raised his head and said: "Camp Chief Yue, don't worry, Song will arrange for someone to go over, bring the tape recorder and camera, you must bring it!" ”

…………

In the afternoon of the same day, newspapers in Shanghai, Nanjing, Xi'an, Chengdu, Wuhan, Guangzhou, Hong Kong, Macao, and other major cities printed and publicized in a high-profile manner the "tragic and heroic farewell" between Yue Weihan and the people on the south bank of Suzhou Creek.

Behind us is Shanghai!

Behind Shanghai is the capital Nanjing!

We have no way back! We have no choice but to fight to the death!

In just a few days, these words blew like the wind across the entire land of China.

Moreover, many reporters from the United States, Britain, France, and other countries also witnessed the entire "farewell" process at the scene, and sent the news back to China by urgent telegram, and all of a sudden, the mainstream public opinion in the West began to pay attention to the heroic resistance of the Baoshan Battalion in the Sixing Warehouse, and the overseas Chinese living in Nanyang and the banks of the ocean were even more completely moved, and many overseas Chinese children gave up their studies or careers one after another, and resolutely returned to China to join the army.
