Songhu, a residential area for wealthy people in the concession near Suzhou River,

Inside a white European-style villa.

On the third floor of the villa, 4 women and 2 men were having a salon party.

These young men and women are all very young, the youngest is only 18 years old, and the oldest is only 24 years old.

But these young men and women are all from rich families and have nothing to worry about.

"Have you read today's New York Times, Times, and JoongAng Ilbo? Ning'er!"

A pretty young girl in a blue dress smiled playfully at Cheng Ning'er beside her.

"See? It's all bad news now. All the newspapers are saying that our national army has been defeated by the Japanese army and is now evacuating Songhu. Moreover, it is still in the midst of a huge defeat!!"

"It hurts to see it!"

Cheng Ning'er responded to her best friend Xu Zishan in a very depressed mood.

"Yeah! I didn't expect that our 700,000-strong army couldn't defeat those damn little devils!!"

"Are those little devils that powerful?"

"Although I heard that the little devils all have tanks, cannons, planes, and fleets, how come our troops were defeated like this!"

"I'm really unwilling!"

Xu Zishan also suppressed her smile and said sadly.

"I'm not willing to just watch our national army being defeated by the Japanese!"

"But this is how things are developing now. All domestic and foreign newspapers are reporting on it! Even those foreigners have strengthened the troops in the concession and sent fleets to defend it!"

“I just don’t know what Songhu will be like in the future!”

"I also heard that many refugees whose houses had been bombed by the Japanese and had no place to return to are now pouring from Zhabei to the concessions on the Suzhou River to seek refuge!"

"It's a pity that the concession area is restricted, so many refugees can't get through!"

Cheng Ning'er continued with a heavy heart.

"Yeah! I've heard about it too!"

"That's right! The situation is so pessimistic now! What are your plans? Ning'er!"

"Do you want to go back to Wuhan with me?"

"Your parents are worried about your safety!"

"And now Songhu may become increasingly chaotic and turbulent!"

"So why don't you go back to Wuhan with me as soon as possible!"

"I plan to go back to Wuhan in a few days and follow a familiar foreign merchant ship back to Wuhan!"

"We will wait until the situation in Songhu stabilizes after the war to see what the situation is like, and then consider whether to come back or not!"

Xu Zishan suggested.

"I have to think about this because my aunt is still here in Songhu. She said that the foreign concessions are safer than anywhere else!"

"Because the Japanese dare not attack the foreign concessions!"

Cheng Ning'er said hesitantly.

"What your aunt said is right!"

"But your parents miss you very much!"

"You won't keep hiding in the concession in Songhu just because you want to avoid Liu Feiyang's prodigal son. Don't go back!"

"I heard that Liu Feiyang, who has been stalking you, has gone to the Songhu front line to join the army to fight the Japanese. Maybe he is dead here in Songhu now! Why are you afraid of him?"

Xu Zishan also continued to speak frankly.

"this......"

"You! You should take care of your own marriage first!"

"You are already 20 years old now. I'm afraid you will be forced to get married by your family in two years! Zishan!"

"I see that your father and my grandfather have similar personalities. I'm afraid your future husband will be a match for your family!"

After Cheng Ning'er saw that she couldn't speak to Xu Zishan, she hurriedly changed the subject.

"I'm not like you!"

"I will never accept my fate. I control my own destiny. I will not be forced into marriage by my father!"

"If he really dares to force me, his biological daughter, to get married, then no, I will follow your example and run away from home!"

After hearing this, Xu Zishan suddenly stood up like a kitten whose tail had been stepped on, and her whole body hair stood up with great reaction, and retorted resolutely with her chest puffed out.

"Hey! Alright!"

"I asked you to come here today to donate money to purchase military supplies to assist the national army who are still killing the Japanese and resisting the Japanese invasion!"

"Although many people are still actively donating money, as the Nationalist army is retreating steadily in the Battle of Songhu, many people's homes and properties in Songhu have been bombed by Japanese planes, naval guns, and artillery.

Destroyed, I even heard that many ordinary people were brutally killed by the Japanese Army troops!"

"So compared to the number of people who donated money on the eve of the Songhu Battle, there are almost half less people!"

"So I invited you to come over to discuss the donation issue!"

Cheng Ning'er hurriedly changed the topic again.

"The donation problem is easy to solve because I know many of these donation organizations. Now I just want to know if you want to go back to Wuhan with me!"

"And you really don't have to worry about that wimp Liu Feiyang. Even if he didn't die in the Battle of Songhu, I still have a hundred ways to get him to break off your engagement with you!"

"I heard that Liu Feiyang is a coward who is afraid of death, uneducated, and a spendthrift who likes to eat and drink!"

"So I am the best at dealing with this kind of prodigal son of an idiot ancestor!"

"And don't forget that my uncle is one of the senior officials in the national army stationed in Wuhan, so he has to deal with a prodigal who relies on his parents to support him. Isn't it just a matter of course?"

"Maybe if my uncle scares him, he can make him cry and beg for mercy on the spot!"

"Hahaha! When I think of the scene where Liu Feiyang was so frightened by my uncle that he knelt down and begged for mercy, cut off contact with you and ruined the engagement, I really want to laugh!"

Regarding Cheng Ning'er's change of topic, Xu Zishan continued to return to the original topic and continued to ask questions.

"..."

Cheng Ninger.

At this moment, an 18-year-old girl wearing a white dress hurriedly ran up from downstairs.

"It's incredible!"

"There seems to be a big explosion in the area near the Sihang Warehouse on the Suzhou River!"

"Now the foreigners have dispatched their troops to go over there to see what is going on!"

"I wonder if our national army and the Japanese troops are fighting somewhere!"

"I heard those explosions were very loud!"

"The Suzhou River side is very lively now, and there are many people watching! Even the reporters from the newspapers heard about it and left!"

"Would you like to go and see it with me?"

"I wonder what the situation is like now on the other side of Sihang Warehouse?"

Then as soon as this young girl named Chen Miaoke ran upstairs and opened the door to Cheng Ning'er's room, she suddenly became anxious and sweating profusely, and finished speaking in one breath.

"..."

Cheng Ninger.

"..."

Xu Zishan.

"..."

The remaining men and women remained silent.

...

At this moment, Liu Feiyang had no idea that he actually had a fiancée who was also staying in the Songhu Concession, avoiding his marriage.

So he is concentrating now, continuing to fire a few more rounds of PF97-type 93mm individual cloud-burst rocket projectiles to the Japs who were suffocated to death by the PF97-type 93mm individual cloud-burst rockets just now.

So in the environment where the heavy rain gradually stopped, the huge explosion sound of his last few rounds of PF97-type 93mm individual cloud burst rocket projectiles,
Chapter completed!
