When Xu Jianguo led Gou Shengzi away, shocking news came from the front: the Japanese had attacked Nanjing.
This month has been very troublesome for Xu Ruifeng. The specific order of battle has become the focus of Xu Ruifeng's attention. Especially after the Japanese invaders occupied Jiangyin and attacked south of Nanjing along Liyang, he seemed to have seen it on the map.
The ultimate goal of the Japanese.
The Japanese Kunisaki Detachment was just a mixed brigade, but they dared to invade Taiping from Langxi and bypass Pukou to cut off the Nanjing defenders' northward retreat; the 18th Division even marched towards Wuhu to block Nanjing.
The defender's route back west...
What does this mean?
Although the Japanese have not been able to fulfill their three-month plan to destroy us, the Kuomintang is no longer in their sights after two disastrous defeats in Peking and Shanghai. Their attack on Nanjing this time is not at all to defeat your occupation.
The city is here to keep you completely!
A month passed quickly. During this month, Xu Ruifeng heard various slogans, saw various battle reports, and heard heroic deeds...
However, one night in late December, Xu Ruifeng, who was holding the child, almost lost his blood when he saw his wife coming back in despair.
His wife is the first channel for Lao Xu to obtain information. After all, any information issued by the organization must go through the Propaganda Department, so Xu Ruifeng has so many sources of information. But today, when Yu Qiulan, that is, Wen Wan went home as usual
At that time, when I was standing at the door and wanted to close the door with my hand, I forgot what I wanted to do in a daze and stood at the door blankly.
She slowly looked back at Lao Xu...
"Don't talk."
Xu Ruifeng blocked the woman's mouth with three words. He didn't dare to listen!
Where is Nanjing?
If something happens to this place...
That night, Yu Qiulan didn't speak. Xu Ruifeng and her lay on the kang, and neither of them could close their eyes until dawn. However, after dawn, the whole city was full of guards running wildly, and they were still running crazy.
Call the leaders and tell them that the organization has summoned them for an emergency meeting.
"Old Xu, give me the child, don't you have to go to Kangda University to take classes?"
When Gou Shengniang entered the house, Yu Qiulan had already returned to work. In the past, Lao Xu would leave his son to Gou Shengniang and then go to Kangda University to take classes. But today, he looked at Gou Shengniang dully.
He shook his head and didn't even move.
He didn't go to Kangda. He was alone in the house, as if he wanted to keep all news out of the cave, refusing to take a step out.
"Old Xu, something big happened!"
The old falcon rushed into the cave and said to Xu Ruifeng who was in a daze: "The Japanese have invaded Nanjing and it has begun..."
He didn't say anything anymore, because the old kite found that Xu Ruifeng was sitting on the kang blankly as if he hadn't heard what he said. He didn't even answer the child in his arms who was saying "ya ya".
The old kite who knew Xu Ruifeng better than himself stopped talking and slowly stretched out his arms to hug the child. At that moment, Xu Ruifeng suddenly looked over with a sharp look. When he saw the old kite, his murderous gaze slowed down.
Move away and let him take the child in his arms away.
And for the next six weeks, the entire rear area fell into silence.
The atrocities of the Japanese are constantly heard through the two loudspeakers in the chat box. They kill people, they harm girls, they do all kinds of evil!
They are stained with blood and filled with innocent souls in the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, which the Chinese are proud of!
In the past six weeks, Xu Ruifeng had lived a miserable life, but he found that no matter where he went, there were more and more people behind him. First it was Wang Ming, then Si Baozi, and when the old falcon began to appear in front of his eyes,
While I was wandering around, Lao Yanqiang silently stood behind me at some point.
Xu Ruifeng turned around and asked, "What's wrong with you guys?"
Si Baozi said inexplicably: "Sir, if you just give me a word, we can do whatever we want."
Xu Ruifeng immediately understood what these people were thinking. They were afraid that they would risk their lives secretly with the Japanese without taking them with them.
"Let's wait until after the New Year."
Xu Ruifeng said this.
He had just started to live a better life at home, so that he could spend the first year with his son in peace. He had just... reunited with his wife, and before he had even blown out the lamp at night, the day had begun...
Xu Ruifeng really wanted to stay at home for two more days, even if it was just two days.
"Old Xu."
night.
Yu Qiulan lay on the kang and leaned on Lao Xu's shoulder and shouted softly.
When Xu Ruifeng turned around, he saw something different in his woman's eyes. He had seen this thing before: "Is there a mission?"
"No."
Xu Ruifeng smiled.
Early the next morning, Xu Ruifeng saw Yu Qiulan getting up and feeding her baby, who had just been weaned a few days ago, breast milk again. From that day on, she went out and never came back.
He didn't know where his wife had gone. The most lacking thing in the entire rear area now was people who could understand Japanese. If his children hadn't been so old, Yu Qiulan might have appeared in the position where she should have appeared. Perhaps in terms of organization,
I also feel sorry for this newborn child, but...
Dad is back and mother is out again.
Xu Ruifeng got up from the kang and started to cook millet porridge for the child. When the porridge was ready, he fed it into the mouth of the little guy in his arms. The kid even used the millet porridge to make bubbles in his mouth without any thought.
Lao Xu spent the Chinese New Year with his children alone, amidst the cries of children in the rear area. Finally, he got a piece of data that did not count. A person who had escaped from Nanjing and returned said that the Japanese were in Nanjing alone.
Nearly 400,000 people were killed. This is still not a complete statistics, and it is impossible to completely count...
This day happens to be New Year's Eve.
This year, no one said any auspicious words, and there were no commemorative activities. However, after one of the people hung up the red lanterns, they provoked the curse of their own family: "What are you giving to the prodigal family?"
It’s time, but if you still wear this bright red color, you think I’m too busy!”
The big red lantern was picked up from the gatehouse, thrown to the ground and kicked. When the unquenched flame burned along the red paper, every household that had prepared the red lantern took it off and stuffed it into the stove.
This year, on the most festive day, there was no red color, no window grilles, and no words "Fu" in the entire rear area.
On the night of New Year's Eve, Xu Ruifeng held Taiping tightly and followed the little guy to babbling. On the table were Si Baozi, Wang Ming, Lao Yaoying and Lao Qianqian, who were eating and drinking.
They were toasting each other, pushing glasses and changing glasses, but no one was joking or saying a word. The whole meal was eaten without making any noise. Only Xiao Taiping was shouting at the whole table, and he turned his head from time to time.
After taking a few glances, I seemed to sense something.
When the clock was louder and the little guy couldn't bear it anymore and fell into a sound sleep in Xu Ruifeng's arms, Old Xu's wine-red face raised and he said to Gou Shengniang, who was eating with the two girls on the kang table: "
Sorry to trouble you."
He handed the child to Gou Shengniang, lifted up the front of his coat, knelt down on one knee, and gave a big gift to this woman who had never been respected by anyone in his life.
Then, without waiting for Gou Shengniang to react, she immediately stood up, opened the door curtain and walked out of the cave.
At that moment, Si Baozi, Wang Ming, Lao Yaoying, and Lao Yanqiang stood up and walked out of the cave at the same time. Outside the cave, there were five horses that they had prepared long ago. These men walked along the road covered with stars and the moon, braving the wind and snow.
Walk with the whip raised.
At that time, there were three women standing at the door of the cave dwelling. Gou Shengniang was holding Taiping in her hands. After being silent for a long time, she finally opened her mouth: "Alas..." She sighed and closed her mouth again.
Gou Shengniang glanced at Taiping in her arms. This cave dwelling was the place where he was born, but when he was born, he did not have a father around him. Today, this cave dwelling is still home, but his father and mother are both gone.
"Mom, where is my uncle?"
Gou Shengniang put her other hand around the girl who asked the question and said, "I went to the grave."
"Whose grave is it for?"
"Thousands of Chinese people died in Peiping, Shanghai, Nanjing, and even on this land."
"Then why didn't my uncle take anything?"
Gou Shengniang actually cried when she spoke: "There are some on the road." This chapter has been completed!
