Rebirth of the Republic of China

Neither of them spoke, they hugged each other quietly in the dark.After a while, Yu Zhannan finally felt comfortable, and when he thought about it, he became that iron-blooded man again.He poked his head out of Shao Xintang's warm embrace, and stretched out his arms to hug this thin man who could be relied on by him when he was occasionally vulnerable.

Before, he never understood why Shao Xintang had to run away, and after the two reconciled, he insisted on going to the battlefield with him. What's wrong with hiding behind him? Dangerous, let him live his best life.However, at the moment when he leaned against Shao Xintang just now, he seemed to finally understand something.No matter how thin and beautiful Shao Xintang is, he is still a man. He can give him strength that no one else can give him when he is most critical, and he can also let him lean on him, help him stand up again, and prop up a piece of sky .

Everyone has suffered a lot in the past few months, and Yu Zhannan touched the protruding bone on Shao Xintang's back, feeling extremely distressed.Even if this man is willing to face the wind and rain with him, he is reluctant.I must give him the best life, so that he can do what he likes to do every day, so that he can smile happily every day.

Yu Zhannan felt that his whole body was full of strength again for a moment, and he said softly to Shao Xintang: "Sleep for a while, we will leave in another hour, and I will call you when the time comes."

Shao Xintang didn't know that Xu Zhixin had come just now, and he didn't know why he left suddenly. He guessed that it was related to Yu Zhannan's depressed mood, so he didn't ask any further questions.As long as Yu Zhannan is by his side, he will feel at ease.

The two lay down hugging each other, and when Shao Xintang let out even panting sounds, Yu Zhannan crept up and got out of the tent.

Yu Zhannan found Sun Dequan and those brothers who were born and died, and followed him for more than ten years.Yu Zhannan briefly explained the situation in a few words, and they all vowed to follow him to the death.When an hour was up, Yu Zhannan went into the tent and called Shao Xintang up, and put a thick coat on him before going out.

Xu Zhixin had been waiting there for a long time, and when he saw a dozen or so of them, he said, "The car is ahead, we have to walk for a while, and stop here to avoid making too much noise and attracting attention."

Yu Zhannan nodded and said, "Understood, let's go, brother."

Yu Zhannan and Xu Zhixin walked in front, and the two soldiers brought by Xu Zhixin illuminated the road ahead with flashlights.The people brought out by Yu Zhannan were all walking vigilantly while paying attention to the situation, and there was no sound in the woods.

The flashlight shined on a large truck parked in front, and Xu Zhixin said apologetically, "Brother, this truck can only take you to the boundary of Shanghai, and you have to go back before dawn, and you have to walk the rest of the way by yourself. You see, I only have such a little ability, and I really can't help you any more."

"I understand." Yu Zhannan said in a deep voice: "Brother, you have done enough. No matter where I go in this life, Yu Zhannan, I will always remember your love."

Time was running out, and it was impossible for them to say goodbye properly. Yu Zhannan and Xu Zhixin hugged each other tightly, and neither of them said anything unnecessary.The relationship between men is in the heart.

Originally, I wanted Shao Xintang and Yu Zhannan to sit in the car, but they felt that the seats in the back of the truck were too narrow, so they sat in the back with the soldiers.Sun Dequan sat in the co-pilot and watched the road ahead with the driver.

The back of the big truck is very spacious, and a dozen of them with big arms and round waists can sit without crowding.The eight people Yu Zhannan called today were all able to follow him wholeheartedly. Those who wanted to make contributions and continue to develop with the new leader, he didn't call at all.

It is late autumn now, and the sky is already a bit cool, especially at night.Shao Xintang was wearing a coat and sitting beside Yu Zhannan, it was quite warm, the sky was very dark, only a small crescent moon that was not very bright could give off some light.The truck was bumping on the dirt road.Shao Xintang felt drowsy and was about to fall asleep again, so she felt Yu Zhannan touch his face and whispered in his ear: "Xintang, don't sleep, get up and chat."

In fact, he was afraid that Shao Xintang would fall asleep and catch a cold.Shao Xintang also knew that she wanted to wake up in a daze, but her eyelids seemed to be glued together, and she just couldn't get up.

These soldiers all knew Shao Xintang's identity, but they didn't show contempt at all.They had seen on the battlefield what it looked like for this frail scholar-like man who was more beautiful than a woman to be strong.He was not afraid of the flames of war, and he always insisted on interviewing at the forefront, which moved them very much.Although he couldn't hold a gun, the influence of his pen in the country and even the world made these iron-blooded soldiers admire him from the bottom of their hearts.

Although Shao Xintang has that kind of relationship with their commander, it is not a glorious thing for two men to be together, but seeing such two outstanding men standing together, it really makes people feel that there is no one more suitable than them in the world up.

Several soldiers looked at Shao Xintang's smiling face when he usually followed the soldiers in and out of the battlefield, and he was smiling even after he hadn't slept well for several days. I admired him in my heart, so I tried to talk to him to cheer him up: "Mr. Shao, everyone is finally free, why don't you take this opportunity to interview us?"

Shao Xintang reluctantly opened his eyes, glanced at the soldier who was speaking, and said in a daze, "I won't do it, I'm too sleepy..."

Everyone looked at him in his twenties, showing a child-like expression, and laughed, thinking that this little reporter is simply too rare.

Yu Zhannan glared at them, seeing that Shao Xintang was still awake, he couldn't help but put another clothes on him so that he could sleep more comfortably with his lap on his pillow.

Seeing their ruthless commander act so warmly, the soldiers couldn't help laughing until they hurt themselves, and they didn't dare to laugh out loud. Their commander wouldn't treat them so tenderly.

Shao Xintang found a comfortable position on his lap, smelled the familiar smell, and fell asleep peacefully.

Yu Zhannan saw that Shao Xintang was asleep, and looked up coldly at these subordinates who didn't think of anything good at first glance.Yu Zhannan waited until they couldn't help but fight coldly under his gaze, and then said in a deep voice: "You don't want official careers anymore, and you followed me like Yu Zhannan, I am very moved. You know, We didn't go out to play this time, but ran away. The people in his mother's military command didn't intend to let me go. We are all lifelong friends. You have been with me for so many years, and I am not a wolf in Zhannan Yes, I will definitely not treat you badly. When we settle down, whether you want to leave or stay is up to you. If you want to leave, I will definitely not have the slightest idea, and I will give you what you deserve , enough for you to marry a few concubines and spend your whole life. If you don’t leave, you plan to continue to follow me. I can’t guarantee how well I will develop in the future, but I promise Yu Zhannan that if I have something to eat, you I can't even get hungry, you all know how Yu Zhannan treats my brothers."

After Yu Zhannan said these words, everyone stopped smiling, and they were all thinking about what Yu Zhannan said.

Yu Zhannan saw that they were all heavy, and then said: "Don't worry, you have several days to think about it. We can't go together when the sun breaks. Shanghai is now the territory of the Japanese. Our goal together is too big. We have to go separately, in groups of two or three, and gather at No. 65, Huangli Street, Shanghai Concession, and we will talk there."

"Remember, be careful and don't let people follow you." Yu Zhannan finally warned.

It was only dawn that day, and the sun hadn't come out yet, and Yu Zhannan and the others arrived at the border of Shanghai.The driver who sent them here didn't dare to stop, and drove back directly.Yu Zhannan and the others were eleven, the soldiers happened to be in two groups, Yu Zhannan Shao Xintang and Sun Dequan were in a group, and the five teams moved separately.

In the Battle of Songhu, although the Chinese military suffered heavy losses, Japan also suffered a lot.At least broke Japan's ambition of "invading the whole of China in three months".Now Shanghai has just been taken over by them, and Nanjing is also in urgent need of manpower. The population of Japan is not large, so the guards in Shanghai are not strict now. With them fighting for so many years, it is easy to get in.So Yu Zhannan was not worried about his subordinates at all.

When Shao Xintang woke up after two sleeps, he felt that the bones in his body were brittle, and the joints all over his body seemed to be rusted, and it hurt wherever he moved.

"Are you all right?" Yu Zhannan watched Shao Xintang shake when he stood up, and went to help him nervously.

"It's okay! What's the matter, it's just a little hypotension when I woke up, and it will be fine in a while." Shao Xintang waved her hand and said.

"Don't try to be brave, if you can't, I'll carry you on your back." Yu Zhannan told him solemnly.

"Well, it's okay." Shao Xintang said with a smile.

The three of them walked for a while, and when they met someone, they borrowed water to wash their faces.When the old couple heard that they were anti-Japanese soldiers, they were very excited. They went to the kitchen to cook two dishes, killed a chicken, and asked them to stay for dinner.

Yu Zhannan and the others were not too polite. They ate a large pot of yellow noodles and flatbreads steamed by the old man, and drank a lot of water to fill their stomachs.While the three of them were tidying up, the old man filled them with a big bag of pancakes and pickles for them to eat on the way.

Yu Zhannan and the others knew that in this war-torn era, everyone's life was not good, so they deliberately took a few cakes and put the rest back, saying they couldn't eat them.The three people were very moved by the enthusiasm and simplicity of the two old people.

Before leaving, Sun Dequan gave the old man more than a dozen dollars, but the old man couldn't refuse, so he took it.These ten or so yuan, in this difficult period, are enough for the old couple to live for a year or so.

When Shao Xintang and the others came out, they started to walk along the designed route, not the avenue, the ground was full of dirt and stones, and it was not easy to walk because of the pits, but they still walked fast.

After Shao Xintang walked for a while, she couldn't keep up and was out of breath.

"Let's not be in a hurry, let's go slowly." Sun Dequan said, wiping the sweat off his brow.

"Why don't I carry you on my back." Yu Zhannan was very reluctant to see him tired.

Shao Xintang shook his head.Yu Zhannan frowned and said, "Then let's walk slowly, and we can arrive before dawn. I think the guards can relax a bit at night."
