Chapter 167 Lin Wanru's Homework
Li Chong's face didn't change much. When he saw thousands of corpses lined up and buried in the ground in Shangwangzhuang, his heart had already hardened.

But Lin Wanru's eyes were red. The scene of rows of people lying among the rubble waiting to die was heart-wrenching. She had never seen a scene of broken limbs and broken tiles.

Li Chong stretched out his hand to cover Lin Wanru's eyes, and led her away from here.

Back at Chuanshan, Lin Wanru leaned on Li Chong and lost her former liveliness, holding Li Chong's hand tightly.

Li Chong hugged Lin Wanru silently, without words of comfort, but let Lin Wanru slowly digest the scenes he saw just now. People have to grow, and no one can say for sure in the future. live in the age.

After returning to the military academy at night, the news that Chongqing was bombed by Japanese military planes had reached here, and the roommates told Li Chong that not only Chongqing was bombed, but Wuhan was also bombed by the Japanese Army Air Force.

And because Li Mengqing and Li Chong entered the city, the roommates gathered around to ask about the situation in the city.

The whole city is discussing the bombing coming by the Japanese aircraft.

Although the Japanese military plane just passed by in a flash, its impact was not limited to the Guangyang Dam and the stone boats in Jiangbei County that smelled of sulfur and were covered with rubble.No one thought that the Japanese military plane would only come this once, and if there was one, there would be another. In everyone's perception, they already understood that there would be no more stable days in the future.

For the government at the moment, bad news comes one after another.

At the end of March, the newspaper published that the pseudo-"Republic of China Reform Government" had been established in the former capital city of Nanjing, and the doves occupied the magpie's nest.

But the Japanese also did not expect that their move, which was intended to weaken the spirit of resistance of the Chinese people, did not weaken the resistance morale of the soldiers of the national army on the Xuzhou battlefield. Instead, it angered the chairman to go to Taierzhuang to watch the battle. Encouraging the soldiers, this made the frontline national army officers and soldiers burst out with an unprecedented will to resist.

Finally, the soldiers of the fifth war zone earned the Chinese nation face in front of the world in Taierzhuang.Although the soldiers of the national army suffered heavy casualties, an average of 2.5 people could replace the life of a Japanese soldier, but the final result was that the Japanese were defeated in despair, and the Chinese army defeated the Japanese elite who were advancing all the way!

With such a battle loss ratio, compared with Songhu and Nanjing, Taierzhuang's battle loss ratio can be regarded as a big victory!
It can be said that in the first half of April, all the public opinion revolved around this victory, and the overwhelmed Chinese seemed to see some light and hope.
Usually, as long as he is not too busy every weekend, Li Chong will still go to the city to accompany his parents, bring some books to his younger siblings from the bookstore, and so on.Although the second younger brother Zhixin has already reached the age of going to school and started to attend private schools when he was in his hometown, but now that he comes to Chongqing, the task of literacy is undertaken by his father Li Derun himself.

There are schools in the city, but it takes a lot of walking. Parents are worried about handing their children to unfamiliar schools in this chaotic world. There are not a few families who lose their children in this world. No one knows that those children have been lost. Where, I only heard that the government launched the "New Life Movement" a few days ago, knocked down many illegal brothels, and rescued many girls from them, which makes people feel embarrassed.

These things made parents pay more attention to the second brother, third sister and the daughter of the housekeeper Xiaotong.

Apart from spending time with his parents, he spent most of the weekend afternoon with Lin Wanru.

Ever since she witnessed the tragic situation caused by Japanese military planes in Jiangbei in mid-February, Lin Wanru has been greatly shocked.Every week after seeing each other, Li Chong could clearly feel Lin Wanru's changes.

It is not so much a change, but more like a rapid growth of mind.

The original Lin Wanru lived a calm life under the wings of her parents, and she had never seen cruelty. Even if the Japanese invaded Nanjing, others had to rely on two legs to move westward, but she was on the plane with her parents.So the thoughts are very pure, pure and out of touch with the reality of this era.

This kind of growth today is reflected in the topics that Lin Wanru talks to Li Chong every weekend, and now she will even take the initiative to ask questions about the Japanese army.

Especially this weekend after experiencing the Japanese bombing again.

In the small living room in the corridor on the second floor of the Lin family villa, Li Chong looked at a dark courtyard wall, which was the trace of being burned black by the fire.

In this bombing, 36 planes formed a bomber formation and threw hundreds of bombs and incendiary bombs directly on the Yuzhou Peninsula. The darkness on the wall was the result of the incendiary bombs that fell on the neighbor's house.

This made Li Chong very afraid. The bustling area is not safe. When the Japanese military planes come, they first take care of the densely populated and bustling areas, because the killing and deterrent effects are the greatest.It's better to live at the foot of the mountain like my parents, at least they won't be the priority bombing targets of Japanese military planes.

Lin Wanru stood next to Li Chong with a notebook in her hand and said suddenly, "Do you think our country can still fight this war?"

Lin Wanru had never asked this question in the past, even if Li Chong would join the army in the future, she had never thought much about it, but today it was uncharacteristically, perhaps the explosion outside her house shocked her mind greatly.

Li Chong looked at Lin Wanru and asked, "Why do you ask such a question?"

"This is the homework I've been doing these days, take a look." Lin Wanru opened the notebook in her hand and handed it to Li Chong.

Li Chong took it and flipped it through, and only read the first page, then looked at Lin Wanru in shock.

She was shocked by Lin Wanru's homework.

What I envy in this note is the data comparison between China and Japan!In addition, her feelings are also recorded on the side, and these feelings are recorded with red pens.

Lin Wanru wrote on the first page:

"In terms of army strength, the KMT has 220 million active soldiers plus reserves and supplementary soldiers, and Japan has 448 million, barely 1 to 2."

Next to this line, there is a line of small red characters, "But the two sides are not only fighting more than the other, but also the combat quality of the soldiers. The equipment, training, morale, etc. of an army are all decisive in the war. the elements of."

In the second line, Lin Wanru compares a combat unit.

"Here, leaving aside training and other factors, the data for a combat unit is as follows: the main reorganization division of the Nationalist Party has 11000 people, usually equipped with 3800 rifles, 328 machine guns, 46 artillery pieces, horses and chariots. Vague.

But a Japanese division has 22000 people, including 5800 horses, 9500 rifles, 600 machine guns, 108 artillery pieces, and 24 chariots! "

There is also a note next to the same: In fact, in war, weapons are not only judged by quantity, because they have their own advantages and disadvantages. For example, a KMT machine gun that often jams is not as convenient as a Japanese rifle.

That's it for the first page.

"You did this?" Li Chong raised his head in disbelief and asked.

Lin Wanru nodded.

Li Chong continued to turn to the next page.

The following is the production capacity comparison between China and Japan:
"Today, the total number of factories in the rear area accounts for only 6% of the country's total, the power generation capacity is only 4% of the country's total, and the steel output is only 1200 tons. Soldiers are only given four rounds."

"And Japan."

The comparison is very detailed. It is no wonder that Lin Wanru asked the question "Can the war continue?" From the data point of view, except for the number of people, China is no match for Japan.

Looking at Lin Wanru's homework, Li Chong stopped treating Lin Wanru as a little girl for the first time.

This skill is amazing!
Li Chong lamented Lin Wanru's growth in his heart, and felt it was a matter of course.Because Lin Wanru originally studied at Jinling Women's University and received an orthodox Western education, her knowledge reserve is not bad at all. The only thing missing is an opportunity to transform knowledge into practical insights.
