After passing through waves of refugees and the defeated ranks of Nationalist soldiers, three black Mercedes-Benz cars, with two young and pretty women riding in them, had also entered the capital city of Nanjing.
Their car team parked at the Liu family's place, and then, greeted by a group of workers from the Liu family's mansion, they walked into the Liu family's luxurious Western-style villa.
One of these two young women is named Liu Xinyi and the other is named Ye Xiaona.
"You're back? Your father has been waiting for you for a long time, he loves you!"
As soon as she entered the hall of the villa, Liu Xinyi's mother was waiting for her at the door of the hall and said anxiously.
"Sorry! Mom! Originally, I planned to stay in the foreign concession, but in the end I decided to stay here in the capital with you, or go to Xuzhou!"
"And this is my best friend Ye Xiaona! She is the second young lady of the Ye family in Wuhan! His father is also a big grain merchant!"
"But his father recently planned to transfer his business to Chongqing and Chengdu! Because he has heard that our general marshal is moving the capital to that side, so his father also planned the business there in advance!"
In response to the anxious words of her mother who loved her so much, Liu Xinyi showed a gentle smile.
"Well! There are so many customers passing by, please come in quickly!"
After hearing this, Liu Xinyi's mother Zhang Guifang also smiled kindly and welcomed Ye Xiaona.
"Thank you! Auntie!"
Ye Xiaona also responded with a smile.
So he quickly followed Ye Xinyi into the living room, where Liu Xinyi's father Liu Wenhao was also reading the newspaper.
"Dad! I'm back!"
As soon as she saw her father reading the latest battle report in the news newspaper, Liu Xinyi greeted him with a smile.
"Just come back, your mother is worried about you!"
"It's not safe for a girl to be outside. Although it is in the foreign concession, most of the entire Songhu area has fallen into the hands of the Japanese. Apart from the foreign concession, there is no safe place anymore, and
The current war situation is becoming more and more dangerous. I read the newspaper reports and I am afraid that the Japanese army will attack the capital at any time!"
"Although this place has been taken over by Commander Tang, the commander-in-chief of the capital, and he vowed to live and die with this place, but I don't believe these officials. If they really keep their oath, they will not put Song
Shanghai was defeated!"
"Anyway, I don't believe Commander Tang's nonsense! So I plan to take you to Xuzhou tomorrow morning! The ferry tickets are already prepared. I spent a lot of money to get the tickets to leave here.
So tonight you all have to prepare your luggage and say goodbye to this place!"
"Unless we repel the Japanese army, we may not be able to come back here for a long time!"
After seeing his precious daughter return home safely, Liu Wenhao also smiled brightly and said to Liu Xinyi with concern.
"Yeah! It's up to you, but my new best friend Ye Xiaona has to go to Xuzhou with us. She wants to have some fun there before going back to her father's place!"
"This time I was able to come back safely. It was only under the protection of the bodyguards she brought that I was able to come back here safely. On the way, I saw many sad refugees who died on the way to escape.
There are also many injured soldiers among those who were defeated on the road!"
"Even the Japanese planes did not spare these broken soldiers and refugees, and even carried out bombings! Fortunately, I was lucky and escaped them all!"
"I really didn't expect that the current war situation is so bad. There are so many refugees fleeing. Many of the refugees in Songhu were unable to enter the foreign concessions. They were either brutally killed by the Japanese troops, or they could only move toward the capital.
Escape here in Nanjing, or other places where you can escape!"
After listening to her father Liu Wenhao's caring words, Liu Xinyi felt the same way and told her about the tragic situation of the refugee wave that she saw on the way back and even in the Songhu Foreign Concession.
.
This was the first time in her life that she had seen the cruel side of war. It was really thrilling and shocking.
"Well! In fact, not only are wars raging outside, but even here in Nanjing, the capital, we are often faced with air raids and bombings by Japanese aircraft groups. These damn Japanese aircraft groups have already killed a lot of soldiers and civilians!"
"However, there have been some good news recently, which makes me very happy. That is, the Sichuan Army troops in Cangcheng and Songjiang City, and the Northeast Army troops severely damaged the 18th Division of the Japanese 10th Army and the Japanese troops of the Kunisaki Detachment.
, and even fought him off several times!"
"In addition, a group of new fighter jets of unknown origin appeared here two days ago. They shot down more than 10 Japanese planes that came for air raids. It was really a relief!"
"These stupid Japanese planes have been taking advantage of the fact that our flying troops have been annihilated, and they have launched unbridled air strikes and bombed us. They have not even spared civilian areas, and we don't know how many innocent people there are."
Yes, unarmed civilians were injured or killed by them!"
"I once saw a young man crying in the ruins of a bombed-out building, and he was injured. That pitiful situation was really sad!"
Regarding his daughter Liu Xinyi's lament about what she saw and heard on the battlefield, Liu Wenhao also responded with deep feelings.
He had also seen with his own eyes how many innocent lives were wiped out by Japanese aircraft bombings, and how many families were destroyed.
Therefore, he became irritable whenever he expressed his hatred for the Japanese.
"I also read the newspapers about the battles between Cangcheng and Songjiang City, and I heard that He Feiyang, the commander of the Sichuan Army there, has been blacklisted for death by the Japanese army's headquarters!"
"Because of his effective command, he defeated the Japanese attacks one after another and made the Japanese pay a heavy price. Moreover, I also saw newspapers reporting that the Japanese troops in the Jinshanwei landing operation were also led by this Sichuan army commander named He Feiyang.
A sniper shot with heavy casualties! So now I am also very curious about this Sichuan Army officer He Feiyang!"
"It would be great if there were more such powerful Japanese-killing officers in our national army. Then we would be able to defeat all these devilish Japanese troops and drive them out of our country!"
As soon as she heard her father talking about He Feiyang and the Sichuan Army troops he commanded, Liu Xinyi immediately became excited and responded.
Because she had already seen He Feiyang's deeds, which were publicized in newspapers, and the publicity was overwhelming, so she was deeply impressed and remembered it freshly.
"Well! This He Feiyang is indeed a talent. By the way, when you come back this time, would you like to visit your old best friend and good friend Zhao Silu?"
"She is a war correspondent! And she also reported the news about He Feiyang leading his troops to fight against Japan at Jinshan Guard!"
Seeing that Liu Xinyi was as emotional as herself when talking about He Feiyang, Liu Wenhao suddenly changed the topic.
"Yes! Of course!"
"But why hasn't she left here yet? Didn't her parents leave Nanjing, the capital, in advance and go to Chongqing?"
Hearing this, Liu Xinyi nodded and agreed without thinking.
"You have to ask her about this! I don't know, but if she wants to leave with us tomorrow, I can take her out of here. After all, the situation here is not optimistic. The Japanese troops will definitely come.
It’s just a matter of time to attack here!”
Liu Wenhao shook his head and said he didn't know either.
