He rushed back to the military headquarters early the next morning. Commander Cai was already waiting for him in the car, and asked with a smile, "How is it? Yesterday's New Year's ceremony was not bad. It's a reward for you to guard Zhabei. Get in the car, Let’s go to Wusongkou together, so we have to pay New Year’s greetings to Lao He!” A few days ago, the Sasebo marines violently attacked the Wusongkou Fort, hoping to land from Wusongkou to control the nearby railway.What kind of person is Lao He? One man is in charge of the gate and ten thousand men are not allowed to open it. Even if the Japanese planes bombard him, as long as he guards, he can only return in vain.The forced marines could only find a way to land from Zhanghuabang, which was not fully defended, and then return to Wusongkou by land.As a result, not only failed to win Wusongkou, but also suffered a big loss in Lao He's hands.

Lao He was happier to see Zhaoshi than to see the army commander and division commander, "Hey, I found out that the devil is what kind of shit Marine Corps. He has no big skills, so he will hide behind the tank and shoot. I am better than you at dealing with tanks now. You are clever, and you don’t need to shoot a single shot.” ​​Zhaoshi also became interested, and hurriedly said: “Tell me and listen.” Old He laughed: “It’s just to spread straw on the road that the tank must pass. Get caught in the wheels, and you won’t be able to move for a while. This thing made by the British probably can only run on the cement road.” Zhaoshi hit him: “Don’t hide with me, just like this Can you use 40 people to stop 2000 Marines in one move?" Lao He waved his hand: "Hey, this is a joke! Those devils who landed from Zhanghuabang to Wusongkou have to go through Yunzaobang Ah, you know this. I sent two Lianyun Zaobang to guard with their lives, and one of them suffered a lot of losses. The company commander called me to ask if a new group of people could come over, so that they could withdraw for a while. As a result I just didn't hear that unlucky Japanese plane buzzing over my head. I thought they were going to retreat. I thought to myself, if they retreat, the army commander will kill me with a single shot. Tell the company commander directly , you are not allowed to retreat, if you dare to retreat, you will be destroyed! The company commander has no choice but to run to the shore now, and he can’t go back, so he has to try to go around from the side. Running forward, that stupefied green man shot a burst of machine guns, guess what? He even split the tofu marines into two pieces! The little devil thought he was in an ambush and made a mess." The two were chatting happily, and the teacher left. Come over and say: "What does this mean? No one is born to fight. No matter how beautiful the marines are, their marksmanship is accurate. When they get off a warship and land on land, they can't walk anymore. It's not like our regiment leader, who is very good at fighting people. Get on board Let the bayonets do it to them!" Then he greeted the two men: "Let's go, let's go, the commander brought good wine, let's go to the fort!"

Wusongkou Fortress has always been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. During the Opium War, General Chen Huacheng, a general of the Qing army, fought to the death with the British army and died for his country here.The Yangtze River and the Huangpu River converge here and head straight to the East China Sea. The violent river wind blows the hero's messy hair. A group of people sit around the broken wall of the ancient fort, talking and laughing, and you can see it not far away. Japanese warship.Zhaoshi patted Old He on the back and said, "Just now I said you are Zhang Yide who roared in front of Dangyang Bridge, now I feel like Lu Zijing sitting in Zhuge Kongming's boat on the Yangtze River." Old He said: " Don't worry, the commander of the army has a big life, and if you are with him, you will not die." After drinking the old wine in the jar, he sang with his broken gong voice with a Cantonese accent, "One battle is successful, and the battle is based on this. Qiankun Re-creation, in the present. The heroic soul of lakes and seas, presented by the loess. I hope to be able to disarm and return to the field early. I love the evening and sunny, and spend my time at leisure. Regaining joy and joy for the rest of the year. A long howl and sword mingling in the sky, stirring up the sword, and the world turns."

At this time, reinforcements from both armies were traveling day and night, and the first to arrive was Shen Zhaoshi's new transfer order. The division commander said with a smile: "Zhaoshi, a talent like you can't be with us rough people!" Your teacher is coming." Only then did Zhaoshi know that General Zhang had led the 87th and 88th divisions of the Fifth Army and the Central Educational Corps to help Shanghai, and he was about to be transferred to be the chief of staff of the Third Brigade of the Central Teaching Corps.In front of his colleagues in the [-]th Route Army, Zhaoshi was a little embarrassed, and after a while he said: "No matter where you are, you are beating devils."

Commander Cai said, "That's right, that's a good point. Speaking of which, you instructors will be dispatched by me this time." Zhaoshi felt a little strange when he said this. Although General Zhang and General Cai were both army commanders and generals, But after all, General Zhang is a direct descendant of the Central Army, and he is their head of education in Huangpu. He brought out many regiment and brigade commanders in the Central Army, and his status is much more prominent than General Cai.Junchang Cai asked: "I heard from Lao He that your nephew is now in the League of Nations delegation?" Zhaoshi nodded: "Yes, he just came back from studying in Japan and is familiar with the situation in Japan. He said he was sent to do translation." Junchang Cai Said: "These people are all engaged in politics, and I don't understand it. If you tell me to restrain myself, I will restrain myself. I and his old Zhang are not in conflict with each other."

Zhaoshi was confused by these few words, and Cai Junchang explained: "The delegation sent a proposal to the chairman, saying that it is best to fight the Japanese in the name of the [-]th Route Army for the entire battle. At best, it is a conflict between the local army and the Japanese. Once the central army comes, this nature will become a war between the two countries. There will be great resistance to negotiations on their side. So I still put them in the [-]th Route Army. Otherwise, Lao Zhang would not be willing to listen to me. Let me tell you, this is not changing the medicine. In the final analysis, the matter in Shanghai is to be handled by me and Lao Zhang. Talk to the people of the League of Nations. Let’s talk about it, if we can’t talk about it, forget it. The key is not to see if we can drive these little Japanese back!”

Zhaoshi knew that political matters were not as simple as Junchang Cai said. He also understood the negotiating delegation's intentions, but he seemed to agree with Junjun Cai's views in his heart. "Commander, General Zhang agreed so readily, which shows that he thinks the same as you." Commander Cai nodded, "Well, fortunately, it's Lao Zhang. I can trust him." Go home late, take a bath and change clothes, and rest at home for a day. Lao Zhang will arrive the day after tomorrow, and you should report to him."

As soon as Zhaoshi entered the mansion, he was startled. There were three or four people lying on the ground in the concierge, and there were people sitting or lying on the lawn. When he entered the house, he saw that the living room was covered with floor coverings. , had to stand in the living room and let go of his voice and shout: "Lianzhou!" Lianzhou came out of the study in a hurry, and was very happy to see Zhaoshi, hugged him and shouted: "Second Uncle, Second Uncle, you are an anti-Japanese hero!" Shi also didn't care to say anything else, pointing to the people in the living room and asking: What's going on here? Lianzhou said: "They are all refugees from Zhabei. When the gun was fired, everyone ran to the concession. There are so many places to live in the concession, so they can only sleep on the street."Mother said that the cold weather made the nearby refugees all live in their homes, and many of them also lived in the women's workers' school. Lian Zhou continued, "Second Uncle, are you still leaving?"If you don't leave, you can only sleep with me at night.My sister and aunt both moved to my mother's room, and the room was vacated. "Zhaoshi admired and felt helpless in his heart. It seemed impossible for him to sleep well.

He asked Lianzhou, "Are you the only one in the family?" Lianzhou became proud, "Ah, I am the commander-in-chief of our family now, responsible for allocating beds and meals." Zhaoshi asked, "Where did your mother go?" Lianzhou said : "Mother let people vacate two shops in the public concession to serve as a field hospital, and took my sister and sister-in-law Zhou to work there. My aunt is in a women's worker's school, and there are 600 people living there." Zhaoshi laughed at Lianzhou: "So you are The bare commander." Lianzhou stared and said, "That's not true! The porter Lao Huang, the gardener Lao Feng, the kitchen Mama Lai, and Mama Qian are all under my care, as well as A Mao and the younger sister of Mrs. Zhou's family."

Zhaoshi saw that the sofa had become a bunk for one person, so he sat on the armrest and asked, "Commander-in-Chief, do you have anything to eat at home?" Lian Zhou looked at his watch seriously: "It's not time for dinner yet, and now dinner is Two dishes, roasted radish and shredded pork with pickled mustard." Zhaoshi stroked his hair: "Well, it seems that the food is okay. Since the meal hasn't been served yet, the commander-in-chief will do me a favor and go out for a meal with me." Lian Zhou said happily: "That's great. I haven't eaten delicious food for several days. If I cook meals for fifty people at a time, I don't need to mention the taste." Zhaoshi said with a smile: "Your second uncle has been on the front line for a few days. The steamed buns are cold, go and ask Amao to go with the younger sister. Go and come back quickly, don't interfere with your dinner for everyone."

In the evening, Zhaoshi felt a little regretful. I'm afraid he won't be able to see his sister-in-law and Lan Xin this time.He took a shower and went back to Lianzhou's room, where Lianzhou was still reading under the lamp.Zhaoshi smiled: "Why do you work so hard? You can still sit still when guns are fired outside. You don't want to see me come back to make a show." Lianzhou said solemnly: "I have to be admitted to Peking University no matter what. Finally, I have been working hard for the past few months. Zhaoshi was very relieved to hear that. He looked at Lianzhou, this little child who used to cry and refused to sleep by himself, and now he is as tall as him. He inherited the Shen family's Baibai The curly bangs on his forehead look playful and handsome. He sits in front of the desk, the yellow halo of the desk lamp shines on his handsome face, casting a shadow in front of the book. Zhaoshi thinks that he was like this about ten years ago He sat at the desk with his head down and read books. At that time, the family was peaceful and harmonious. He went to Jingxian’s place to say good night at night. His sister-in-law always told him to study hard, and worried that he would read too late at night. Zhen sent supper here, and urged him to go to bed earlier. What Zhaoshi didn't know was that his hard work back then was just entrusted by his sister-in-law, but now Lianzhou is for him and his comrades. Going to university in Peking was the only way for them to get in touch with the organization.

Sitting beside Lianzhou, Zhaoshi said, "Let's see if there is anything you don't understand tonight. Maybe I can explain it to you tomorrow, and then I'm leaving again." Finally Lianzhou couldn't sit still and asked, "Second uncle , What does the Devil’s army look like? Is it powerful? Can the [-]th Route Army win?” Zhaoshi said: “Of course the [-]th Route Army can win, we are all defending our hometown.” He looked into Lianzhou’s eyes Said, "You know, one day I was standing on the roof of a building, and downstairs was the devil's tank. When I looked into the distance, I seemed to be able to see the French Concession, our home, and the junior high school where I was studying. , I saw Fudan University, and the Huangpu River flowed under my feet. At that time, I thought, our home is so good, how can we let the little devils take it, I have to beat them back. Look at these people at home, they lost I lost my homeland and lost my home. My second uncle tried his best, but he couldn’t let my Lianzhou live such a life. You can know that you should study hard, and your second uncle is really happy. In vain." Hearing these words, Lianzhou felt a little guilty, thinking that if the second uncle knew his real goal one day, he might be disappointed.At this moment, he couldn't say anything, he reached out to hug the second uncle, and buried his face on his shoulder.
