A flower of the Republic of China

Chapter 32

1,

Haizhou City couldn't go back, Wen Qingyun took her family to live in Zizhu Nunnery, Master Ci Ning had passed away, the rest of the nuns ran and hid, the flames of war, the Buddhist sect couldn't keep their purity, they might return to vulgarity, Or hide in a deeper mountain and live in seclusion, Zizhu Nunnery will be abandoned, but the house is still there, and there is a ready-made vegetable field behind the house. , to the east is the activity area of ​​Shen Jie and Liu Changlin's guerrillas, which can provide sufficient protection.Shen Hao urged Hase Fujiki to go out of the city several times to encircle and suppress them, but they got nothing.Later, it was also his suggestion to build a gun tower at the foot of the mountain to monitor the actions above at all times, to block all contact between Wen Qingyun and the outside world, and to harass Wen Qingyun from time to time to play a deterrent effect.The people who originally lived at the foot of the mountain were also forced to relocate by them, cutting off the supplies and supplements of the people above.In Shen Hao's words, if they are sleepy, they will be trapped to death, and if they are not sleepy, they will be starved to death.

Wen Qingyun was wearing homespun clothes, carrying a wicker basket, and was feeding the chickens in front of the gravel-built chicken coop in the yard. Her gray hair was gathered into a big bun on the back of her head, which was neat and clean. Opened the door of the chicken coop, reached into the chicken coop with one hand, and took out two warm eggs. The flower hen moved her fat body, showing off in front of her eyes. Wen Qingyun smiled, "I know you are meritorious. Xiaomi is just for you, they don't have any."

This year Wen Qingyun is 58 years old. The few years of living in the mountains, the hardships are a bit rough, but it has trained her to be more capable, which is different from the past. She used to pick up the hands of the abacus, but now chops chicken food, mends clothes, and tidies up. The vegetable garden is good at everything.What she kept on her lips was, people, there are only blessings that cannot be enjoyed, and there are no hardships that cannot be endured.There is another sentence, she told Shen Jie and Zhong Cheng that human suffering will have an end, so she believed that the Japanese devils would not last long.

Shen Xuan and Shen Zhi were in the east room, and the little monkey sent down a lot of clothes that needed to be mended. He is now the company commander, but he still hasn't changed his childishness, especially when he sees women, he is always a bit naughty and shy. Sticking out his tongue, he said, Eldest Miss and Second Miss, there is no way, the soldiers are clumsy, and I will trouble you again.Shen Zhi smiled and said, it's been troublesome for six years, so what's there to be embarrassed about?You can't let you fight with your buttocks naked, can you?What's more, there are some families in the mountains, big girls and young wives, it doesn't matter to you, they are embarrassing.The little monkey's face was flushed red, he was not used to hearing the word "butt" from a woman's mouth, especially when it was said from Shen Zhi's mouth, it scratched his heart several times like a small gripper .Shen Xuan looked at this and then at that, and she understood something in her heart.When she wanted to get out, Wen Qingyun opened the curtain and came in.

"Lieutenant Hou, when you go back, take the basket of eggs with you, give half to Cheng'er and half to his second uncle." Wen Qingyun sighed. Age, living a life of hail of bullets, can not but worry about.

"Yes." The little monkey stood at attention with a serious expression.

Shen Zhi stood up, "Mother, let me go. I'm safe, and he broke the eggs before the eighteen plates were saved."

Wen Qingyun pretended to put on a serious face, "Forget it, I don't know you yet, and I want to sneak away to practice shooting, right?"

"Mother, you are the smartest, I can't hide anything from you." Shen Zhi grimaced, "Just let me go, I promise I will come back before dark, okay?"

"I want to say no, you can't make trouble at home?" Wen Qingyun sighed, "Go, go, I was born wrong at the beginning, how could you be a girl, you should be a kid."

Shen Zhi waited for this sentence, grabbed the basket and ran out, shouting while running, "Hurry up, little monkey!"

The two went out like a gust of wind, Wen Qingyun walked to the bed, grabbed a piece of clothing, looked at the fine stitches on it, and sighed, "Xuan'er, I have wronged you."

Shen Xuan shook her head, "Mother, don't say that. I'm fine now, and I'm at ease with my mother."

Wen Qingyun's eyes were red, "A woman must have a home after all. I know what you think about Cheng'er, but he's already married, so why bother?"

"He is him. I am me." Shen Xuan said lightly, "It is their fate and their blessing that he and Miss Yan's family can get together. I will guard you and provide you with retirement. This is mine. Blessing."

Yan Xueke was transferred from Chongqing last spring to Fang Shiji Department of Jinping Mountain as an intelligence officer.Because he knew Zhong Cheng, Fang Shiji sent Zhong Cheng to take care of and assist Yan Xueke in his work.The two were a little awkward when they first met.Especially Yan Xueke, although she is extroverted and pungent, she is a woman after all, and has complicated emotions towards this man who almost became her husband.Fortunately, Zhong Cheng was straightforward, called Yan Xueke to the battalion department, and said frankly that the two of them were just comrades, and they were together for work, without any personal relationship.Yan Xueke was relieved, this was what she wanted to say.

After playing there, the two of them got along much more naturally, and sometimes they would joke around. Later, Zhong Cheng gradually learned about Yan Xueke's experience. After leaving home, she went to the Southwest, where she studied for two years. An inch of rivers and mountains, an inch of blood, the chairman of the committee, called by [-] young men and [-] troops, cast their pens to join the army. After receiving a year of training in India, they were assigned here.During her stay in Chongqing, she had a marriage contract with a classmate, Xiangyue, but unfortunately, that classmate was killed in a bombing to save school property.She joined the army more or less because she wanted to avenge her husband.

This experience made Zhong Cheng show his sincere admiration, after all, not too many women have the courage to pick up a gun.Yan Xueke smiled heartily, "Just think of me as Hua Mulan." Then she frowned again, "You know, it's all your fault." Her serious tone surprised Zhong Cheng, who didn't know how to respond , and heard her say, "If you were willing to marry me back then, maybe now our children are running all over the mountains, how could I be like this?" After speaking, he laughed, and Zhong Cheng also laughed.

Of course, regarding the relationship between them, the most unavoidable thing is that Yan Bohai died at the hands of Zhong Cheng.Although he didn't shoot the gun himself, Yan Bohai would not have died without him.Yan Xueke didn't say a word on the surface, but on the night of the fifteenth, she secretly got some joss sticks and burned paper.

Zhong Cheng saw it, and she didn't hide it, "One thing belongs to one thing, he is a traitor, he deserves to die. But he is my father, he gave birth to me and raised me. Do you understand?" Zhong Cheng nodded, no one knew better than him what does this mean.

Just after the Spring Festival this year, in an ambush against the Japanese army, Yan Xueke was injured in a special part. , Zhong Cheng went to battle in person, and when Yan Xueke recovered from his injury, the comradeship they had finally established was completely broken.Zhong Cheng went to Fang Shiji in private and asked to transfer Yan Xueke away. After hearing this, Fang Shiji laughed and said, this is a good thing. How many people can't find a beauty on the battlefield. You kid, don't you take advantage of the opportunity?After finishing speaking, they made a decision to hold a battlefield wedding for Yan Xueke and Zhong Cheng.Although Zhong Cheng was a little astonished, he was not disgusted in his heart, and was even a little happy.He has fallen in love with the straightforward Yan Xueke, and this discovery made him feel guilty towards Shen Xuan.

After calming down, he thought, he probably never really liked Shen Xuan.At that time, he was still young and didn't understand the relationship between men and women. He thought that the feeling of blushing and heartbeat was love.In fact, it is a normal heart fluctuation, it is shyness, it is nervous, but it is not love.It's a pity that he didn't have much time to think about his feelings, too many accidents happened, and Shen Xuan's deep love filled him with guilt, and he subconsciously refused to approach any woman, as if this was the only way to be worthy of Shen Xuan.After finally figuring it out, he breathed a sigh of relief, but facing Wen Qingyun and Shen Xuan, he still couldn't speak.Every time he saw Shen Xuan's mournful eyes, he felt that there was a big rock hanging in his heart, heavy, oppressed, and out of breath.He thought he would just keep it a secret for now, and if he couldn't hide it later, maybe there would be a solution.Wen Qingyun was a little surprised when Little Monkey accidentally broke the news, but her happiness was sincere. After all, Zhong Cheng was not young, and it was time for him to start a family, which was an explanation to Zhong Han and Qing Zhu.Shen Xuan felt uncomfortable, but on the surface she still expressed her blessings, and even generously took out a jade pendant from her collection and gave it to Yan Xueke as their wedding gift.No one knows her daughter better than Wen Qingyun, and no one knows better than her the turmoil hidden under this seemingly plain appearance.It's like seeing myself when I was young... My daughter is braver than myself, at least she can show her feelings, but she never admitted it from the beginning to the end.This is her eternal regret, an irreparable regret.She didn't want the tragedy to happen to her daughter, and she didn't know how to comfort her.On the other hand, Shen Xuan said when there was no one in private, "I'm pretty good. I don't think it's okay to be alone like this." Living alone may be lonely and difficult, but it's better than finding someone you don't like to barely get by.Wen Qingyun nodded, feeling both sad and comforted.It could be considered that her daughter made up for a debt on her behalf.

2,

A bomb skimmed the roof and landed in the col.After the huge explosion, the light of the flames and the dust and ash that were thrown up submerged a small piece of mature crops.Yingzhu hid behind the stone, bowed his head to the ground vigorously, and his buttocks were exposed, like an ostrich.This is a defensive posture created by ordinary people like him, as if a bomb hits the head without touching the buttocks.Fortunately for him, the bomb missed just a little bit. He shook the dirt on his body, straightened up, and was dumbfounded.The corn he had worked so hard all summer was blasted into a big hole by a bomb, and it was about to be harvested, but now there was nothing left.He picked up half a dead leaf, with anger and sadness in his eyes, this is the ration of the whole family!Several people count on these sweet potatoes and corn to fill their stomachs. Damn little Japan, even this is not left for them, goddamn little Japan!Hate turns to hate, Yingzhu gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, but he couldn't change the fact. What he is most worried about now is that he doesn't know how to explain to his grandma when he goes back. When he went out this morning, he still patted his chest and promised that he would have a full meal tonight.The whole family has not let go of their stomachs for a long time, and the eldest grandma is so happy that she wants to cook by herself, but this is all ruined, and they are going to starve.Yingzhu squatted on the ground and sighed, he felt sorry for the grandma, who would have thought that the illustrious Shen family would be reduced to such a state?Who would have thought that Wen Qingyun, the dignified grandma of the Shen family, would one day worry about eating in one bite?
In fact, not only the Shen family, but the entire Haizhou city has no big family for hundreds of miles. Every family lives in a miserable life, and it is said that people have starved to death.Yingzhu always wondered to himself, is it because the rabbits in Japan don't shit, so the little devils came to China like hungry wolves?They want everything and grab everything, so there is a shortage of everything in the market, and the common people have nothing.Money can't buy it.What's more, they have no money for a long time, and this vegetable field with corn and potatoes is the last hope of the whole family.Yingzhu squatted for a while, then suddenly stood up, scratching the ground with his hands. He also planted some peanuts. After a lot of hard work, all he caught was ashes and scorched earth, and two lines of tears rolled down the face of this rough man. , the air was filled with a burnt aroma mixed with sulfur gunpowder.

This day is August 1945, 8. For the whole world, it is a day worth remembering. The Americans dropped a bomb on Hiroshima, and a city disappeared from the face of the earth.But for the people of Haizhou City, this day is no different from other days after the Japanese occupation. They are dressed in rags and their faces are numb. The belly of a family.They can't see hope. In their hearts, the word "hope" has already been eliminated, and they just use human instinct to breathe mechanically to live.No matter how long I lived, I met a happy or unhappy Japanese soldier and made him a living target, and the suffering was considered to be over.

Wen Qingyun also heard the explosion at home. Although it was commonplace, she still felt a little sudden.Over the years, the Japanese have often come to attack the mountains. Which time was it not a greeting from cannons and machine guns?So no surprise.How many times has Zhong Cheng and Shen Jie said that Wen Qingyun always refuses to ask them to move to the mountains. Sometimes there is a limit to retreating. They stick to this place, which is a kind of comfort to the mountain people behind them .If they are gone, where else can the mountain people hide?After Fang Shiji learned about the situation, he deliberately set up a reconnaissance point one kilometer in front of Zizhu Temple, successfully suppressing the actions of the Japanese and puppet troops.This was also the reason why she felt sudden. The Japanese harassed people very rarely. This should be a signal, but she didn't know what it meant.

Yingzhu came back dejected, really ashamed.He didn't speak when he entered the room, but squatted in the corner and held his head.Qiaofeng asked anxiously, "What's the matter, are you talking?"

Yingzhu made a bitter face, "These god-killing Japanese devils, grandma, how can we live now?"

Wen Qingyun calmly said, "The sky won't fall, so save some money? Go back to the house and rest. I'll ask Jieer to take that leather jacket to the mountains later. It's enough for our girls to eat."

"You only have that fur coat left, how will you spend the winter?"

"Let's talk about it when the time comes." Wen Qingyun looked out the window, worried about Shen Zhi, but didn't want others to see it.

Shen Xuan came in with a basin of water, Qiaofeng hurriedly snatched it over, "Miss, I dare not do this." Turning her head, she scolded Ying Zhu, "Look, you have to wait for you, how many blessings have you accumulated in your life? Can't burn you to death! "

Yingzhu was taken away by Qiaofeng, and Wen Qingyun showed concern. She looked at Shen Xuan and asked, "Is your sister okay? I should have let her go out earlier."

Shen Xuan said, "It'll be fine, Company Commander Hou can take care of her. Listen, aren't our people shooting now?"

This statement did not reassure Wen Qingyun, she sighed, when will this day end?
Shen Zhi was worried about the safety of his family just as he was on the mountain, and Zhong Cheng stared at the place where Zizhu Nunnery was located on the mountainside, wishing to grow two wings, but Fang Shiji had an order to report to the regiment headquarters as soon as possible, probably because of years of planning The counterattack is about to start.Before leaving, he told the monkey to bring a group of people to bring Wen Qingyun up the mountain.As soon as he left, the little monkey had already set off his men and horses, ready to set off, when Shen Zhi suddenly appeared and stopped in front of him.

"I'll go with you." Shen Zhi said.

The little monkey frowned, "But the battalion commander didn't tell you to follow. Besides, let's go, people are fast, and you are added, so it's inconvenient."

"Am I a burden?" Facing the little monkey, Shen Zhi had a somewhat domineering attitude, because he always gave way to her.

"No, no." The little monkey blushed, and the soldiers behind laughed. They like to see the boss embarrassed. This kind of situation is rare, and they want to have fun. return."

"I won't go, can my mother go with you?"

"Can I carry her on my back?" The little monkey was anxious, and stretched out his hand to push away the person in front, but regretted it as soon as he stretched it out, and his hand stopped in mid-air and couldn't move up or down. "I beg you, my eldest lady, I am here on a mission, not for fun."

Already a little shaken, Shen Zhi took a step forward after hearing this, "I'm not kidding, that's my mother! If you don't take me with you, I will follow. They dare not stop me, you know."

The little monkey smiled wryly, acquiescing.The soldiers became serious and arranged their equipment silently.The little monkey felt the need to add, "You must obey my orders and don't run around!"

Shen Zhi nodded, "I understand, I'm here to help, and I won't mess with you."

Along the way, the Japanese army did not continue to attack. The shell that exploded was more like the accidental action of some boring person, without purpose, as if he was too lonely, coughed, made a little noise, and teased himself .The little monkey felt more at ease, and looked back at Shen Zhi who was in the middle of the team, she was still just as nervous, there was a saying Zhong Cheng said that care would lead to chaos, probably that's what it meant.

Shen Zhi quickly ran two steps and caught up with the little monkey. She pointed to the left gloomyly. The little monkey had already seen that it was the bomb's drop point. There were such bomb craters all over the mountains and plains, and he couldn't see anything strange.

Shen Zhi explained: "This is the crop planted by brother Yingzhu, and it is the food for us to survive the winter."

The little monkey was silent. Of course he knew what food meant. In order to make Wen Qingyun's life better, Zhong Cheng sent his share of food rations and the few confiscated items to Zizhu Nunnery every month. Relying on Yan Xueke's reluctant support.He felt sorry for his battalion commander, and sometimes spared some and secretly put it in Yan Xueke's dry food bag, and then mobilized the soldiers to hunt. Unfortunately, there were too many people and little meat, and there was no prey on the mountain.

Shen Zhi left the team and walked into the crop field, as if remembering or paying tribute.The little monkey watched silently, unable to bear to stop him.Shen Zhi walked to the side of the bomb crater, turned her head and smiled, "Brother Yingzhu spent a lot of effort to reclaim this land, and after a lot of effort, he got the seeds in the hands of a mountain villager, and they just disappeared, what do you say?" What a pity?"

The little monkey had never seen such a beautiful smile, with his mouth open and his whole body frozen in place.

Shen Zhi bent down to grab the soil on the ground, took a deep breath, then stood up, and walked deeper and deeper into the crater... The unique whistle of the shell exploded in everyone's ears, and the little monkey shouted, "Be careful, lie down! "Before he finished shouting, the person had already run towards Shen Zhi, and Shen Zhi looked back at him, as if she didn't know what happened...

3,

It was getting late, and the dilapidated carved beams and painted buildings of Zizhu Nunnery showed a kind of solemnity under the twilight.

A whole row of people stood in the courtyard of Zizhu Nunnery, with Shen Zhi's corpse in front of them.It took a lot of effort for the little monkey to speak, "Grandma, we are here to pick you up the mountain..." He couldn't continue, tears rolled down his face unknowingly.

Shen Xuan supported the crumbling Wen Qingyun, with the same silent sadness on her face.Qiaofeng couldn't control it anymore, she was crying loudly, Yingzhu choked up, and bumped her head against the gable wall.

After an unknown amount of time, Wen Qingyun spoke, "Go back, I'm not going anywhere, I want to keep Zhier's spirit."

The little monkey nodded, he didn't want to go back now, Shen Zhi's smiling face was still shaking in front of his eyes, everyone could understand his anger, and everyone knew that he wanted to avenge Shen Zhi.

"Brothers, I'm going to destroy that cannon. Go back and tell the battalion commander that I didn't complete the task, and I don't have the face to see him!"

The soldiers picked up their guns. Many of them had no education and didn't know how to express their love, but their actions showed that they would not let the little monkey take risks alone.

The little monkey stood at the front and said incoherently: "No, you can't follow me, it's a violation of discipline. You go back. You have good intentions. Someone has to inform the battalion commander. My fault. It has nothing to do with you."

A soldier said: "Commander Hou, the clothes on my body were sewn for me by Miss Shen."

The little monkey raised his head, "No, nothing can be said."

Another soldier said, "Commander Hou, we have no face to go back."

The little monkey stomped his feet fiercely, "You..." He couldn't say anything, these people were all stubborn, so he just pointed at one of them, "If you go back to deliver the letter, someone has to go back to deliver the letter, right?"

This was more begging than an order, and the man had no choice but to agree.

The little monkey led the person away, Wen Qingyun gently broke away from Shen Xuan's hand, took two steps forward, bent down, and touched Shen Zhi's already cold body, "Qiaofeng, boil some water, I want to give it to you." She washes and sees the dirt all over her body. She can't just let her go like this. Xuan'er, go and pick out two clothes. Your sister likes to be clean. Even though they are all coarse cloth, they should be neat and tidy. Yingzhu Ah, I have to trouble you, no matter what, I have to have a thin-skinned coffin, right?"

Everyone walked away in silence, each busy.No one saw the tears Wen Qingyun shed.

Zhong Cheng confirmed his guess at the regiment headquarters. Fang Shiji called the meeting precisely for the long-awaited counterattack.

"This morning, the Americans dropped a bomb in Japan..." Fang Shiji's tone was excited and contagious, "Listen everyone, the military plan, our strategic counteroffensive to capture Haizhou will officially start at midnight tonight ! All brother troops, work together, Battalion Commander Zhong, you are responsible for attacking the south gate, brothers, I know you have a lot of fire, now is the time to show the Japanese some color!"

After leaving the gate of the regiment headquarters, Fang Shiji patted Zhong Cheng on the shoulder affectionately, "You are from Haizhou, I know you want to enter the city more than anyone else, but you must remember, you are only allowed to succeed, not to fail. We Your battalion has the strongest firepower and the largest number of troops, and the other battalions plus the regiment's guard company are all feints. If you want to break through, it depends on you, is there any problem?"

Zhong Cheng replied, "Reporting to the head of the delegation, there is no problem."

"Okay, when you attack the city, I'll give you a celebration banquet." Fang Shiji looked at Zhong Cheng with admiration, "Also, you have to plan what will happen after victory now, do you want to continue to follow me, or Stay at home, you are already married, although my wife is also a soldier, you have to settle down."

Zhong Cheng smiled, "Leader, this matter is not in a hurry, I will go back to be a subordinate now, and before dawn tomorrow, I must take down the South City Gate!"

Fang Shiji seemed to have something to say, but finally smiled, "Okay, everything will wait for victory."

When the gunshot rang out at the foot of the mountain, Zhong Cheng was on his way back to Shibapan. He glanced suspiciously at the direction of the gunshot, and judged that it was the devil's stronghold, so his heart ached.He was worried that it was Shen Jie and his gang who were looking for trouble. If a large number of devils in Haizhou City were alarmed, it might affect the big event tonight.

A figure came out from the mountain road, and Zhong Cheng subconsciously touched the gun in his waist.That person spoke first, "Leader, it's me!"

Zhong Cheng narrowed his eyes, "What are you doing here?"

"It was Company Commander Hou who asked me to deliver a letter. He took people to Duan stronghold."

"Nonsense!" Zhong Cheng was anxious, "Who told him to do this?"

"He said, he has to go. He would rather be punished than go. He asked me to tell you, he, I'm sorry." The man's face was dripping with sweat, and he couldn't speak clearly.

Zhong Cheng's heart tightened, "Is something wrong with my family, tell me quickly!"

"It's your sister... Captain, you should go back and have a look."

Zhong Cheng was panting heavily, his face was gloomy, those gunshots hit his heart one after another, he wished he could rush down to join the little monkey, but he couldn't!The big picture, the big picture!The counterattack that has been prepared for so long cannot be lost because of small things.

"You!" He grabbed the soldier's collar, put it down slumpedly, and called back to the guard, "Guard, you should hurry back to the eighteenth plate right now, so that the troops can assemble and stand by."

The guard hesitated for a moment, "Commander, what about you?"

"I'm going to catch that damned little monkey, and I can't let him mess up the situation. Do you understand?"

"Yes!"

The gunshots echoed in the valley. Judging from the density, the battle was not fierce, but it was stalemate. It seemed that the monkeys and the devils were entangled again.Zhong Cheng lowered his body, walked through the grass, and quickly touched his side.

"How is it?" He asked suddenly, and the soldier who was close to him turned his gun and saw that it was the battalion commander, so he put it down with a face of shame.

"I asked how you are!" Zhong Cheng was a little anxious.

"We don't have enough firepower. A heavy machine gun was dispatched over there to fight against us. We are all like this." The soldier looked at the gun in his hand, a little depressed. After fighting for so long, the loss is due to the equipment.

Zhong Cheng breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, when the monkeys came down to pick up the men, they knew how to pack lightly. Maybe the Japanese army thought it was just a small group of stragglers.Those sons of bitches wanted to take advantage of it, beat up a small group of people, and rewarded them for their military achievements that day.Thinking of this, he suddenly had another idea in his mind, maybe he could be wrong.

"Company Commander Hou," Zhong Cheng rubbed against the little monkey, "How about it, can you hold on until twelve o'clock?"

The little monkey was stunned for a moment, "Battalion Commander." He grinned, "Your sister, she..."

Zhong Cheng's face darkened, "I already know. I don't blame you."

The little monkey seemed about to cry, the more he said it was not strange, the more uncomfortable he felt.

"How is the situation now?" Zhong Cheng stared at the position, now is not the time to be sad and angry.

"Fucking little Japan transferred people from the city." The little monkey wiped off his sweat, and he really felt ashamed to face people like this after a sneak attack. "These sons of bitches!"

Zhong Cheng thought for a while, "I'll give you another row of people, and give me a big fight to contain them, so you don't have to charge before twelve o'clock, understand?"

The little monkey suddenly became excited, "Battalion Commander, is it time to settle the accounts?"

Zhong Cheng patted the monkey on the shoulder, "Hold on, it's a crime and a meritorious service."

The little monkey nodded vigorously, and said, "But we don't have enough manpower."

This is also what Zhong Cheng is worried about. His battalion has the most well-organized Fang Shiji regiment, but its number is nearly one-third less than the normal number.If the two elite platoons were removed, it would be even more difficult to attack the South City Gate.

"It's better to borrow soldiers." On this kind of question, the little monkey's mind turned quickly, "They came down to watch just now, and asked me to rush back. They will definitely be willing. As long as we ask."

"Damn it." Zhong Cheng cursed, which meant that he agreed with Xiao Hou's opinion, but he just felt bad.The boss repeatedly ordered to keep a distance from others, and at a critical moment, they were not allowed to cooperate?

Wen Qingyun moved Shen Zhi's body carefully, for fear of hurting her.Shen Xuan was helping, and the two of them worked together to help Shen Zhi change into a new outfit.Shen Zhi lay quietly, with a smile on the corner of her mouth.

There was a sound of footsteps in the yard, and Shen Jie, Wei Ruoyan, and Yan Xueke rushed back at the same time.The former was informed by a tip, while the latter was entrusted by Zhong Cheng.

"Mother, he can't come, there is an important task tonight." Yan Xueke explained in a low voice, she felt like an excuse, but it was not, so she felt even more embarrassed.

Wen Qingyun nodded, "It's okay, Zhi'er won't blame him, if Zhi'er is alive, she will also say that it is important to do serious things."

Shen Jie turned his head sadly. Since childhood, their brother and sister have the best relationship. He has experienced so many lives and deaths, but he never thought that she would die.Wei Ruoyan grabbed his hand and shook it vigorously.He smiled bitterly. The two younger sisters are both good girls and should have a bright future. They both died at the hands of the Japanese, and this cannot be counted.

The gunshots rained down on everyone's ears, and the silent people in the room raised their heads at the same time.Yan Xueke knew best in her heart that the real general offensive was about to start.There was a rush of footsteps in the yard, and Liu Changlin hurried in.

"Grandma, please mourn." Liu Changlin still looked the same, and the years did not leave any marks on his face.

Wen Qingyun nodded, "I have a heart."

"I'm here to take Shen Jie away, there is action. Don't mind."

"You're going to beat devils? I don't mind. Kill a few more to avenge your sister!" Wen Qingyun smiled encouragingly, and life and death were as light as a feather to her.Soon people realized that they had misunderstood. She held Shen Jie's hand and said with trembling lips, "Promise mother, you must live."

Shen Jie followed Liu Changlin to the yard. Liu Changlin looked back and said in a low voice, "We are cooperating this time, attracting as many enemies as possible, and emptying the city."

Shen Jie nodded, "Are they going to counterattack? At this time, are you still afraid that we will be ahead?"

Liu Changlin let out a long breath, "Don't say that, it's all for the war of resistance. It doesn't matter who is ahead of whom."

4,

At 1945:8 on August 7, [-], the battle to attack Haizhou began.

Hase Fujiki was furious in the headquarters, and the documents on the table were scattered all over the place.He roared at the top of his voice, "Who told them to go outside the city? Who gave the order?"

Shen Hao frowned, "Commander Zhang Gu, now is not the time to pursue responsibility. Did you hear the sound of the cannons in Nancheng? If we don't think about it, we will be trapped in our nest."

Hase Fujiki was slapped across the face, no matter how embarrassed he was, he didn't need the advice of the lowly Chinese.

Shen Hao touched his face, he was also fed up with this arrogant and stupid Japanese, but since he still had a lot of trucks in his hand, he could only endure it.I couldn't help but talk, "Commander, it's time to make up your mind. The imperial army must maintain a little fighting strength, right?"

Hase Fujiki glared at Shen Hao, knowing that he handed over a step. He was an imperial soldier, but he was not interested in the idea of ​​committing suicide by caesarean section to thank the emperor.

"Come here!" Hase Fujiki regained his confidence, "Pass my order, the second and third squadrons will support the south gate, and the first squadron will gather immediately and stand by." At this moment, he still had a little luck in his heart, If someone came to support before dawn, they could still hold on.

As time passed by, Hase Fujiki's final confidence collapsed.Combat staff officer Yagyu stood at the door, "Commander, Ganyu was severely attacked by the Chinese army. The Miyamoto unit suffered heavy casualties. Lieutenant Miyamoto asked for our support."

"Tell that idiot, he can break the jade." Hase Fujiki smiled, support?Now there are American warships parked on the sea, and there are horns of attack in all directions, and the artillery is bombarding the city gate. He still wants to ask the emperor to help him, but unfortunately he can't get out.

Liu Sheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked sadly, "Commander, what should we do?"

"Prepare to retreat. This city has no value. We must gather to the north." Hase Fujiki said seriously, "Remember, we are soldiers of the Great Japanese Empire, and we will fight to the last moment."

After Yagyu left, Hase Fujiki looked at the luxurious office. On the antique racks were collected rare treasures, which were said to be priceless.He walked over, picked up a celadon vase, and threw it hard on the ground.Then he crazily swept all the antiques to the ground, "shatter your body to pieces, go to hell!" he growled and panted heavily, this was the last damage he could do to Haizhou.

The convoy is ready, the only three vehicles that can start are full of officers and their families, and the soldiers standing under the vehicles look at them with hatred. The only tools they can use to escape the pursuit of death are theirs. feet.

Hase Fujiki got into the car in the middle, and was about to direct the departure when he suddenly saw a person grabbing the door of the car.

Shen Hao has been staying here all this time, waiting for this moment, he doesn't want any old lady or daughter-in-law, and it is a great blessing to be able to escape.

"Commander Chang Gu, please take me with you. I know a path out of the city to avoid them."

Hase Fujiki had planned to ask someone to beat him down, but when he heard this, he lowered his hand.

"Well, Mr. Shen Hao, you have always been our friend, and we will treat friends with kindness as always."

Shen Hao sat in the cockpit of the first car. This position was convenient for leading the way, and it was more convenient to serve as a human shield for the Japanese army behind when attacked.But right now he doesn't have time to worry about so much, as long as he can escape from Haizhou City and save his life, he doesn't care about the rest.

"Go north, walk along the river, let your artillery prepare the bombs, we are going to rush out." Shen Hao pointed to a small road behind the wall of the headquarters, from here to the edge of the city wall, breaking the city wall, you can go in the shortest possible time. The time is close to the Shandong border.It is the closest distance to the assembly point.

"You can't fire, it will attract the enemy." Liu Sheng was sitting next to Shen Hao, and he paid more attention to Shen Hao's movement of touching his chest from time to time. It was bulging there, obviously hiding something.

"If you don't fire it, just use it as dumpling stuffing, and let people serve it in one pot." To Liu Sheng, Shen Hao was not so polite, he even gave the kid a blank look.The big-headed soldiers who just graduated didn't fight to the end of the battle, and the empire would not send such a hairy boy as a supplementary source of soldiers.

Liu Sheng nodded habitually, he was indeed young and could be easily controlled.But he asked, "County Shen, what are you carrying in your arms?"

Shen Hao's heart skipped a beat, "It's nothing!" He pulled out his hand, pretending to be calm.

Fortunately, Liu Sheng didn't ask any more questions, and the convoy approached the city wall at the fastest speed.As Shen Jie said, no one thought that they would be so crazy that they used artillery to open the way. Only a small number of troops around the left intercepted it, and most of the Japanese troops managed to escape.

The convoy stopped at the provincial border, and Shen Hao was kicked out of the car by Liu Sheng. Hase Fujiki watched with satisfaction, "You can leave, friend of the empire. I hope you have a safe journey."

Shen Hao was dumbfounded, he planned to follow all the way back to Japan, he rushed over, knelt on the ground and hugged Hase Fujiki's leg, "Commander Hase, please let me go with you. Commander Hase, look at us for many years In terms of friendship..."

Yagyu whispered something in Hase Fujiki in Japanese, he suddenly became interested, and the feet that were about to fly also fell, "Mr. Shen Hao, what are you carrying in your arms?"

"No, no." Shen Hao was taken aback, but this couldn't stop Hase Fujiki from extending his hand.

"Is it a road map? Or intelligence? Are you a spy? Mr. Shen Hao, I can have countless guesses, each of which will send you to hell." Years of war have turned the brave and scheming man into scheming up.

Shen Hao slowly took out a red cloth bag, which contained twenty gold bars. He exchanged all his belongings at the last moment, and planned to live on it for the rest of his life.Handing it out now, my heart is dripping with blood.

"Commander Zhang Gu, this is my tribute to you, please take me away." Shen Hao knelt on the ground, after giving up his money, he was much calmer than before.

Hase Fujiki took the gold bar, snorted, turned and left.Liu Sheng recruited several soldiers and pushed Shen Hao to the side of the road.

"Commander Zhang Gu, you can't do this to me! I have done so many things for you, and I have been loyal to you all these years!" Shen Hao shouted in despair as he lay in the ditch by the roadside.

Hase Fujiki glanced in the car window, "Of course I can. Gold is military supplies, and keeping it private is a capital offense. Mr. Shen Hao, you should be grateful that I didn't kill you now."

"Fuck you little Japan, I fuck your eighth generation ancestor!" Shen Hao's cursing sound floated in the air.Only the birds and the worms of the grass answered him.
