I have always been unafraid to predict the situation of this battle with the worst expectation, but the Japanese army's menacing approach exceeded my expectations.

Wuhan, a military center located at the junction of the Ping-Han Railway and the Yangtze River, is on the verge of war. If Wuhan falls and the Japanese army goes upstream, Changsha will be less than [-] kilometers away.

But now that the hearts of the people are shaken, the words of the Lord and He are like whispers, popping up from time to time, then being suppressed, and then being suppressed again.So repeated, and when the tragedy in Nanjing spread, the whispers gradually turned into loud shouts, with a kind of righteousness that must be done.

In the high-level meeting of the party on December 12, Wang Jingwei, the vice chairman of the Supreme National Defense Council, tried his best to negotiate peace.After hearing this news, I still feel slightly relieved.That day when I picked up the newspaper and saw the terms of the Japanese army's peace talks, I couldn't control my anger. It was the only time in my life that I felt that such an unbearable thing would happen to a person who lived for a hundred years.

China gave up the war of resistance and recognized Manchukuo; established a demilitarized zone and paid compensation to Japan.

Lose power and humiliate the country?This is no longer just a loss of power and humiliation of the country. If you accept this clause, you will lose your country! On the land of 4000 million square miles, there are a group of bereaved dogs panting like dogs!

I would rather fight Japan to the last drop of blood than be a slave to a subjugated country!

If I pick up a gun...

This is not the first time I have thought this way, throwing away the useless pen and taking up the sword and gun to defend my country.It's just that every time I mentioned this matter, Lin Ximing would remain silent and look at me with disapproving and helpless eyes.

Day and night for so many years, why didn't I understand what he meant.He doesn't want me to go to that biting battlefield, but if it's something I really want to do, he won't stop me.

He will go with me, I know he will choose to join the army with me, and then he will take care of me silently like drizzle like usual, and my skin and skeleton will become a drag for him. known results.

I don't want to.

But how can I protect this piece of land where I was born and raised?

I was confused and wanted to find an answer.

Self-cultivation, family harmony, state governance, and world peace.

I didn't even think about it myself, so I worried about the peace of the world, which is considered mediocre.

Lin Ximing and I often go for a walk on the street. He always thinks that I spend too much time sitting at the desk, but he doesn’t know who is the person who sits motionless for a whole day and even forgets to eat once he studies a difficult problem .

There is no point in walking aimlessly, presumably just to enjoy the feeling of two people chatting on the road.This feeling is not like the "on the road" when rushing from Beiping to Changsha, it seems more like the casual talk of literati and poets in the Wei and Jin Dynasties.Small vendors along the street hawked local wine, and the drunken man squinted his eyes and yelled at the waiter for another drink.Everything looks mediocre and unremarkable, and the sound of gunfire hundreds of kilometers away cannot reach here, so people are happy to pretend to be deaf and blind, making everything seem peaceful.

But everyone seems to have overlooked one point. The front line is hundreds of kilometers away, but the Japanese ambition is the entire land of China.

So when the Japanese bombers swaggered over the horizon with the roar I was familiar with, accompanied by the harsh sound of air defense sirens, I immediately reacted and wanted to drag Lin Ximing to run.

It's just that his right hand was held first, and he held it very tightly, as if he was holding on to something crucial and unable to give up, even if it was death, it was impossible to let go.

I quickly recalled the layout of the surrounding buildings. After experiencing the bombing of Beiping, I paid special attention to these, "I remember that there is an air-raid shelter not far ahead."

I felt that Lin Ximing's hand was slightly loose, and ran forward along with my strength.

Most people who have never experienced it are still in a daze, probing their brains, as if thinking that there is some free trick that can be watched and applauded.People looked up at the bombers flying overhead in novelty, not knowing what it meant.Few of those fleeing here ran for shelter.

I knew that it was only a few minutes from the sound of the siren to the start of the bombing. Before I hid in the air-raid shelter, I thought of those ordinary people who didn't know what was going to happen, and my heart tightened, so I shouted, "It's an air raid!"

A few people turned their heads and looked at me, as if looking at a fool who didn't know what to say.

"It hasn't hit us yet, how could there be an air strike?"

Lin Ximing clicked his tongue, and went straight up to grab the mother and daughter who were standing closer.

"what are you doing!"

The mother's voice was instantly suppressed by the sound of bombs piercing through the air, and the exploding shells pushed away a cloud of dust.

I covered my mouth and nose, but still started coughing uncontrollably.

I saw the man who just sniffed stood there, wiping his face in disbelief.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

He rushed to the air-raid shelter in a panic, "The Japanese! The Japanese are coming!"

I know what he's touched, dust and fried meat mixed with wet blood.

People started running like headless chickens in a commotion, and I tried to raise my voice to get more people to escape to the air-raid shelter.

Another shell exploded not far away, and my soles were unstable and I almost fell.Lin Ximing stepped forward to support me, "Weihua, go in with them."

The increasingly turbid air irritated my throat, and I didn't pretend to evade it, and said, "I'll leave it to you."

He nodded, looked at me for a while, then suddenly bent down and kissed the corner of my lips lightly, completely ignoring the possibility of being seen by others.

My heart softened suddenly, and I reached out to stroke the short, soft hair on the back of his head.

The air-raid shelter was very quiet, only the sound of sobbing and the shaken gravel falling to the ground.I ignored the appreciative glances thrown at me and just stared intently at the entrance.

I didn't see Lin Ximing walking in until the sound of bombing was so intense that I couldn't stay outside the air-raid shelter any longer.

"Are you okay?"

"fine."

I reached out to find his hand and held it tightly, sitting on the dusty floor against the wall.

I saw that he was dusty, like a big tabby cat who sneaked into the kitchen to steal food but accidentally fell into the ashes, and wiped the ashes on the tip of his nose with my hand.

"Flower cat."

He slightly raised his head helplessly and allowed me to move, "I am not."

"You are."

"Okay," he smiled, "I am."

The people in the air-raid shelter stayed dumbly, and the roar outside the air-raid shelter continued, but we seemed to be flirting.The wall behind him vibrated, and with each vibration the gravel from the top of his head fell down his collar and into his clothes.The precarious sense of danger made me cling to Lin Ximing uncontrollably, and I never let go of the hand I was holding.

When everything gradually calmed down, we came out of the air-raid shelter, and all we saw were collapsed bricks, tiles and wooden pillars. The dead bodies were still intact, but the blood overflowing from the eyes, nose and mouth was shocking, and even the blood None of them were bright red, but a dusty ochre, clinging to the ashes of burnt wood.The eyes are full of scars, and the ground is in a mess.

Lin Ximing and I walked through the streets full of corpses in silence. It was unimaginable that an hour ago this place was still a bustling store.
