Peiping has fallen! Tianjin has fallen! North China is in danger!!! The Chinese nation has reached a critical stage!!!!
"The 29th Route Army struggled for twenty-three days and gained three times at Marco Polo Bridge. Many officers, including Deputy Commander Tong Linge and Commander of the 132nd Division Zhao Dengyu, died heroically for their country!" A newspaper full of oil stains was swirled in the wind.
It drifted on the deserted streets, and finally landed in a puddle of sewage at the corner of the street. The bold and bold typeface that had been soaked in the sewage was unusually eye-catching. The side facing upward was a report on the deeds of the 29th Army in the fierce battle at Marco Polo Bridge.
"Compatriots, have you heard the rumble of artillery? That's when our ** people are fighting with the Japanese army. Can you hear the cry of killing? I can hear it, I can hear the sound of the heroic soldiers as they kill the Japanese army.
The roar, this is the roar of the Chinese people, and it is also the cry of our Chinese nation." Xiao Yalan, dressed as a female student, stood on the steps and gave a loud speech. With an angry look on her face, she waved her arms and shouted loudly. Tang Cheng and several others, also dressed as students,
A familiar classmate distributed anti-Japanese war leaflets to passers-by.
Tang Cheng and Xiao Yalan were not students in the same school. Tang Cheng, who was only 19 years old, participated in this fund-raising event because of Xiao Yalan. For this reason, he even wore a pocket watch. "Tang Cheng, Xiao Yalan really agreed.
Did we go to the movies with you? Did you lie to us?" Hou Xiaotian, nicknamed Monkey, nudged Tang Cheng with his shoulder, and the latter, who was obsessed with paying attention to Xiao Yalan, came back to his senses.
"When has Tang Cheng deceived anyone?" The handsome Tang Cheng pointed his nose with his thumb, showing a carefree look. Tang Cheng, who has been an orphan since he was a child, went to a church school and is over fifty years old.
The American pastor Robles is his sponsor. Hou Xiaotian and Xiao Yalan are both students of a national middle school. The 19-year-old Tang Cheng often said that he has the advantage of having been in the world for many years, so he naturally became the one that Hou Xiaotian and his students yearned for.
object.
"You won't be able to talk if you don't brag, right? Xiao Yalan will go to the movies with you? She has promised to accompany me to the department store later." The round-faced Xie Xiaoli made a fierce expression at Tang Cheng and Hou Xiaotian,
Xie Xiaoli, who came from a wealthy family, looked down on the idle Tang Cheng. If it weren't for the persuasion of her good friend Xiao Yalan, Xie Xiaoli would have taken Xiao Yalan to go shopping in the department store today.
"Don't pay attention to her. This kind of woman is an old aunt who can't get married. I invite you to smoke." Hou Xiaotian didn't want Tang Cheng and Xie Xiaoli to quarrel, so he mysteriously pulled Tang Cheng aside and quietly gave Tang Cheng a cigar.
Cigarette. "Tang Cheng, this is a cigar given to me by my dad's German boss. It's very expensive. I gave it to you because we are good friends. Do you know why?" Hou Xiaotian put his arm around Tang Cheng's shoulder.
, making a familiar expression.
Tang Cheng curled his lips, and skillfully took out an iron-cased lighter from his pocket and played a few tricks with his hand. Hou Xiaotian and several male classmates looked envious. "Well, the taste is not bad, but it's better than Robert
His cigars have lost some flavor." Tang Cheng took a puff of the cigar Hou Xiaotian brought, then put his arm around Hou Xiaotian's shoulders and whispered in his ear. When Pastor Robles was young, he was a cowboy who traveled alone in the West. Whiskey
Cigars and cigars are Robles' favorites. Tang Chuan, who grew up with Robles since childhood, is naturally very familiar with cigars and can tell the difference between good and bad after just one puff.
"Tang Cheng, you said we are good friends?" Hou Xiaotian shook off Tang Cheng's arm and stared at the iron-cased lighter in Tang Cheng's hand with some shamelessness. Hou Xiaotian's family was wealthy and he was generous, but Tang Cheng didn't learn anything from him.
The relationship between the two of them was indeed as good as Hou Xiaotian said, and Tang Cheng knew that Hou Xiaotian was interested in the iron-cased lighter in his hand.
"Monkey, this is not okay. This is Robles' favorite thing. I secretly took it out to play with. If I gave it to you, I would be beaten to death by Robles when I went back." In friendship and ass.
When they were competing against each other, the smart Tang Cheng chose to save his own butt. "Hurry up and tell everyone to leave, the military police are coming." Hou Xiaotian wanted to continue to pester, but the sharp-eyed Tang Cheng pointed at the street corner and yelled
.
Students giving speeches in downtown areas are as unpopular with the Nationalist government as taking to the streets for demonstrations. Since the student demonstrations in Peking were suppressed by the military and police, whenever there are young people dressed as students gathering in the downtown areas of the Kuomintang District, there will always be people holding big guns around them.
Awesome military police. The reason why Xiao Yalan agreed to Tang Cheng’s participation in their speech and fund-raising activities is because Tang Cheng’s observation skills are keen enough and can detect dangers in time when the military police appear, thus avoiding and reducing the number of classmates being arrested by the military police.
things.
"The military police are here, let's go quickly." Hou Xiaotian and several male classmates hurriedly helped Xiao Yalan and the others pack their things. Most of the people who were listening to the speech on the long street also dispersed, and the military police beat people with big sticks.
But regardless of whether you are a student or not, the people who were afraid of getting into trouble dispersed like a tide, leaving Xiao Yalan and the others alone on the street.
"Niang Xipi's bitch," Tang Cheng cursed secretly, put the cigar between his fingernails in his mouth, and walked alone towards the military police who were running in a hurry. Tang Cheng wanted to get it
These small troubles try to buy Xiao Yalan and the others some time to evacuate. He knows that his small arms and legs cannot stop the military and police from arresting people, but he has an American adoptive father, and even if he is arrested, he can be released quickly. Rob
Si still knows many people in Shanghai.
"Catch him, this kid is with them." The development of things is often unexpected. Just when Tang Cheng was about to speak, a man in a short shirt came out from the side, pointed at Tang Cheng and yelled. Something bad happened.
, Tang Cheng’s head was buzzing. This guy in a short shirt was standing next to him just now. He was greeting Xiao Yalan and holding Hou Xiaotian’s shoulders. He was seen by this guy. It turned out that this guy was a military policeman.
's spy.
"Tie him up." The officer leading the team gave the order, and two people rushed out from the military police team. They directly pressed down Tang Cheng, who was about to run away, and tied him up with a rope on the street. The military police appeared too suddenly.
Although Tang Cheng discovered it in time, Xiao Yalan and the girls moved too slowly. In addition, there were several military and police spies like men in short shirts. While Tang Cheng was pinned down, Xiao Yalan and Hou Xiaotian were already surrounded.
.
"Wait a minute." Just as the military and police narrowed the encirclement to attack the students, a young man who had been standing outside the circle said, "They are all students. They just said some anti-Japanese words on the street. You guys
Do you have to use ropes and sticks to greet them?" There were several men standing with the young man. Although they were all of different ages and dressed in ordinary people's clothes, there was an air of hostility in these men's bodies without exception.
.
The head of the military police who led the team was about to get angry. The young man who spoke chuckled, took out this ID from his pocket and handed it over. "Hello, sir, I just offended you." The head of the military and police opened the ID and just read it.
After one glance, he immediately stood at attention and handed the ID back with respectful hands. "You students are not studying well in school, so what are you doing out on the street? Dismiss and go back." The military police leader said.
As if he had a different face, he persuaded Xiao Yalan and others nicely, and even Tang Cheng, who had been tied up with ropes, was released.
"Brother, thank you so much just now." After being rescued, Tang Cheng rubbed his numb arms and went to the group to thank him. Thanks to the teachings of Pastor Robles, Tang Cheng had a more
A man of his age who has a strong body does not look weak standing in front of the young man. Tang Cheng has been dealing with people from all walks of life since he was a child. He cannot say that he has broad knowledge, but he still has a certain degree of vision. This young man
Although he was wearing ordinary people's clothes, the pair of military leather shoes on his feet were eye-catching.
Perhaps he noticed that Tang Cheng had been looking at the leather shoes on his feet. The young man chuckled, "What? Are you interested in eating military rations, little brother?" As soon as the young man said this, the men around him laughed out loud.
, Tang Cheng looked quite big, but when he was arguing with those military and police officers just now, he was still just a little kid.
"Lian Zuo, you see he is no taller than a rifle when he stands up. How dare a kid like you fight a kid like you? I think it's better to forget it." The middle-aged man with a goatee next to the young man accosted him.
Being looked down upon, Tang Cheng couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, so he glared at the goatee. If it weren't for the heroic spirit in the young man, he wouldn't be too lazy to deal with these guys who are just living with guns.
"Mountains are high and rivers are long. I have remembered this favor in Tangcheng. It sounds like you don't have a local accent. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, come to the Catholic Church in the French Concession to find me. Although Tangcheng is not a powerful person with connections,
But I still have a few friends on the street. Say goodbye." Following the example of Jianghu people, Tang Cheng, who was covered in dust, cupped his fists and saluted the group of people in front of him. It's not strange to say "reciprocating to many people", Tang Cheng
Such a clasped fist made even the middle-aged man who had just mocked him have to straighten his face and clasp his fists in return.
"Not to mention, this kid is quite interesting. Although he looks young, he has a lot of evil thoughts in his belly." The middle-aged man looked at Tang Cheng's retreating back and couldn't help but marveled. If it weren't for the fact that he still had a mission,
He actually wanted to take Tang Cheng to find out the details of this kid. If he brought such a fun kid back to the military camp, those old guys might not know what the baby would be like.
"Let's go, we haven't done anything yet." The young man, who was vaguely surrounded by the men, glanced around and walked forward, "Uncle Goat, you said that the regiment headquarters asked us to come to explore the road.
What, can't we just open up a posture and let the troops pour people in? Why bother with this effort?"
