Chapter 76 The First Shot (1)

After the Xi'an Incident, the time soon entered 1937, a very important year in the history of China. As Chen Xiude recovered from his injury, Chen Xiuwen's mood began to improve. After the incident, the troops lifted their first-level combat readiness and carried out normal training. After the training of the newly added Fourth Battalion, at the suggestion of Chief of Staff Qiao Zhen, Chen Xiuwen changed the troops again.

The troops of the four battalions were reorganized into three infantry battalions, and a machine gun battalion was formed, equipped with eighteen m2 Browning heavy machine guns and eighteen sixty mortars, with three machine gun companies under it. During wartime, according to different needs, the machine gun battalion could be used in a concentrated manner, and the three machine gun companies could be assigned to three infantry battalions. Chen Xiuwen resigned as the battalion commander of the Fourth Battalion, who was originally on the same position, and the machine gun battalion was replaced by Chief of Staff Qiao Zhen. Because he knew that in terms of placing troops, Qiao Zhen, who graduated from the German Army University Staff Department, was much better than him.

Chen Xiuwen specially allocated the spy company he brought out with him. In order to make up for the lack of firepower in the medium and long distances of the spy company, he also allocated fifty m1 Galand rifles and ten Browning light machine guns. In this way, in terms of firepower, the spy company could easily suppress a battalion of the German-Armed Division. In addition to the lack of seven-five mountain cannons, the heavy firepower of heavy machine guns and mortars even exceeded the heavy firepower of the entire German-Armed Model Division where he was originally located - the 88th Division.

After the reorganization of the troops was completed, Chen Xiuwen organized two small infantry battalions and machine gun companies at Hongqiao Airport.

At the same time, under Shen Xiuwen's continuous urging, the Shen family also moved all the factory machinery and equipment in Shanghai to Wanxian, Sichuan before the Spring Festival in 1937. Due to the dense war clouds, many old employees who have served in the Shen family for many years are willing to move to Wanxian with the factory.

Although, in Shen Xiuwen's memory, the Lugou Bridge Incident first occurred on July 7 in 1937, and the first shot of the Anti-Japanese War was fired, followed by the August 13th Incident in Shanghai, and the entire Shanghai area held a three-month Battle of Shanghai. However, considering that his security third regiment was being watched by Japanese spies more and more closely, in order to prevent accidents, just after the Spring Festival, Chen Xiuwen urged his family to move to Wanxian quickly.

Although he was a little nostalgic about the prosperity and comfort of Shanghai, as the situation became more and more tense, coupled with Chen Xiuwen's continuous urging, the old man, Shen Xiuping and his wife, and Shen Xiuwen's nominal wife Yu Wenwan finally agreed to move to Wanxian.

At Shiliupu Wharf, Chen Xiuwen waved goodbye to his family who boarded the passenger ship. He finally breathed a sigh of relief. His worries were finally gone. When he got on the bus and returned to the military camp, Chen Xiuwen suddenly remembered that he had someone he cared about in Shanghai.

Nearly four months have passed since I met Lin Jingyun by chance today. In these four months, Lin Jingyun has never looked for him except for one call. Chen Xiuwen thought of his suspicion of Lin Jingyun. If Lin Jingyun really had other purposes for him, it seemed unlikely that he would not look for him. At the same time, Lin Jingyun's reaction made Chen Xiuwen regain the impression of the noble school beauties in the school. Thinking of this, Chen Xiuwen couldn't help but smiled mockingly. It seemed that he had watched too many spy movies in the past and was also a little nervous. Thinking of his cold tone to her on the phone last time, Chen Xiuwen felt a little depressed.

"Go to Renji Hospital." Chen Xiuwen ordered Chen Yi who was driving.

Chen Yi was stunned, but he immediately remembered that the last time he met Miss Lin seemed to be working in Renji Hospital. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Second Young Master, the second young lady has just left, are you going to find Miss Lin?"

"Where do you get so much nonsense when driving your car?" Since Chen Yi was recruited into the army, the boy has become more and more arrogant. Chen Xiuwen couldn't help but laugh and scold. Then he sighed and said, "The situation is unstable at this time, Miss Lin is alone in Shanghai again."

Chen Yi and Wang Xiaoshuan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, looked at each other and smiled, turned the steering wheel and drove towards Renji Hospital.

In the hall of Renji Hospital clinic, Chen Xiuwen saw Lin Jingyun wearing a white coat. In fact, when Lin Jingyun walked out of the corridor, Chen Xiuwen was immediately amazed. Lin Jingyun wearing a white coat gave him the feeling of an angel in white.

Lin Jingyun walked up to him and saw Chen Xiuwen looking at him in amazement. He couldn't help but frown slightly, but he still asked in a very polite tone: "Chen Xiuwen, is there anything you need to ask me?"

Chen Xiuwen woke up this time and secretly scolded himself for being unpromising. Why did he have this expression every time he saw a beautiful woman? He hurriedly said, "Oh, I happened to pass by and come in to see you."

Looking at Chen Xiuwen's guilty expression, Lin Jingyun couldn't help but smile and said, "Thank you, Captain Chen is kind. But I'm sorry, I'm at work now, and there are still patients waiting for me. If Captain Chen is really fine, I'm sorry I can't accompany you." As he said that, he was about to turn around and leave.

"Oh, Jingyun." Chen Xiuwen quickly stopped her, and in desperation, he omitted the word Lin.

Lin Jingyun felt her face slightly hot, and turned around and asked, "What, is there anything wrong?"

Chen Xiuwen knew that Lin Jingyun still remembered that she refused her to invite her to dinner last time in a cold tone, and expressed her invitation to thank her. He quickly said, "I just wanted to ask you if you are free after get off work today? I want to invite you to a meal." As he said, Chen Xiuwen showed a hint of apologies and said, "This, I am sorry for the fact of the last time. This, the situation was very tense at that time, and the little Japanese came to make trouble again. I really couldn't take time." After that, he waited for Lin Jingyun's reply.

Lin Jingyun looked at Chen Xiuwen with interest for a while, and only then did she smile and said with a smile: "I'll get off work at half past five."

Chen Xiuwen immediately smiled and said quickly: "Okay, I'll come to pick you up then."

At five o'clock, Chen Xiuwen specially booked a seat in the red house and changed into a navy blue suit. Looking at himself in the mirror and his hair was combed brightly, Chen Xiuwen suddenly felt that he was very unprofitable in dealing with feelings and women. So far, what he showed in front of Yu Wenwan and Lin Jingyun was like a young man who had just started to fall in love. This made him feel a little depressed.

"Oh, this is about to go to war, so I'd better think about these things in the future." Chen Xiuwen sighed softly in front of the mirror.

Before leaving, Chen Xiuwen did not let Chen Yi and Wang Xiaoshuan follow him, and drove to the gate of Renji Hospital alone. Not long after, he saw Lin Jingyun walking out of the light blue cheongsam he wore when he met.

Chen Xiuwen quickly got out of the car, helped open the co-pilot's door, and asked Lin Jingyun to get in the car. Lin Jingyun looked at Chen Xiuwen and smiled and said, "Chen Xiuwen, you are much more handsome than you in a military uniform."

Chen Xiuwen smiled and said, "I treat you to Western food today. You can't wear military uniforms."

After getting on the bus, Chen Xiuwen started the car and said to Lin Jingyun with a smile: "Don't always call me Chen Xiuwen from now on. Chen Xiuwen's name is called liberation. This is my word, I took it before going to the military academy."

"Liberation? The liberation of the rivers and mountains?" Lin Jingyun muttered softly.

Chen Xiuwen nodded and said in a low tone: "When I applied for the military academy, my father gave me the hope that I could restore our country and mountains that were occupied by the Japanese invaders in the future."

Lin Jingyun looked at Chen Xiuwen with a serious expression and didn't say anything anymore. She just felt that the man around her was getting closer and closer to the ideal image of the man in her mind.

Red wine, candlelight and a blooming red rose on the dining table. The atmosphere in the Western Restaurant of Red House located in the French Concession is very romantic and warm.

"Jingyun, the current situation in Shanghai is getting more and more unstable. I suggest you leave Shanghai early. Also, your parents are still in Peking now? It's better to leave early. It's safer to go to southwest cities like Chongqing or Kunming."

"You mean the Japanese are going to attack us? Just like what you told me last time, as soon as the war begins, the Japanese will occupy most of the Chinese country?" Lin Jingyun asked with a dim expression.

Chen Xiuwen nodded solemnly.

"What about you?" Lin Jingyun looked at him again and asked.

"I am a soldier, and the responsibility of a soldier is to defend his country. Although we may not be the opponent of the Japanese army, I want to stay and fight against the Neon Army." Chen Xiuwen once again repeated what he said to Lin Jingyun during the last meeting.

"I am a doctor, and the doctor's duty is to save lives and heal the wounded. Once this battle starts, there will definitely be many casualties and injuries. I will not go anywhere and stay in Shanghai." Lin Jingyun said softly. Although his words are light, they are full of determination.

When Chen Xiuwen heard this, he hurriedly said, "But, Jingyun."

But before he finished speaking, Lin Jingyun interrupted, "Liberation, stop persuading me. Do you know why I wanted to study medicine? Do you still remember that I went to the temple shop with you to visit the anti-Japanese soldiers on the front line? That time, we almost threw our lives there." As he said, under the candlelight, Lin Jingyun smiled miserably and said, "That time, when I saw so many dead people, I was really scared at that time. I thought that I had marched and demonstrated to fight against Japan. But when I really arrived at the battlefield, I realized the horror of war. Anti-Japanese is not just a few slogans, but it takes thousands of people to fight face to face with the enemy. At that time, I realized that I was actually very fragile."

Listening to Lin Jingyun's statement, Chen Xiuwen also remembered the scene of that year and said softly: "No, you were also very brave at that time. Didn't you also participate in the rescue work of the wounded? A person vomited from the sight of blood to being able to help rescue the wounded. To be honest, I didn't expect you to be so brave at that time."

"Later, I heard that you applied for the Central Military Academy. At that time, our family was about to move to Peking. At that time, I chose to study medicine. I wanted to be a doctor and I had the opportunity to treat those anti-Japanese soldiers in the future."

Chen Xiuwen looked at Lin Jingyun speechlessly. Only then did he truly realize that the seemingly weak woman in front of him would have such a strong heart.

"Jingyun"

Just as Chen Xiuwen wanted to express his feelings, the door of a private room next to him was suddenly opened with force, and two drunken men walked out of it, each hugging two women. The Western restaurant is an elegant place, and people sitting in the hall looked at this scene.

Chen Xiuwen also looked at them in surprise, but when he saw the two drunken men, his eyes suddenly became sharp. The Rendanhu left in the upper middle of the two men showed that they were Japanese.

"What's wrong, liberation." Lin Jingyun asked in surprise when she saw Chen Xiuwen's expression, and at the same time she twisted her neck and looked behind her.

"Japanese, it's really disappointing." Chen Xiuwen couldn't help but swear. However, he immediately realized that Lin Jingyun was sitting opposite him, and quickly smiled apologetically at Lin Jingyun who frowned and turned around.

However, just as Lin Jingyun looked back, the Japanese walking in front also discovered her. The guy with a sperm brain suddenly lit up when he saw the fresh and refined Lin Jingyun. Compared to the woman he hugged in his arms, Lin Jingyun was more than a hundred times stronger. Relying on alcohol, the guy pushed the woman in his arms away and stumbled towards Lin Jingyun's seat.

"Miss, can I treat you a drink?" The half-bad guy showed two big yellow teeth, and said to Lin Jingyun, who was frowning with a cold Chinese dialect, with a mouth full of alcohol.

"Get out." Before Lin Jingyun could speak, a cold shout came from beside him.

"Baga." Since January and February 8, the Japanese have always been accustomed to being arrogant in Shanghai. Even when they are renting, they seem unscrupulous. When they hear someone telling him to get out, the guy looked up and looked at Chen Xiuwen. When he saw clearly that a Chinese man was sitting opposite him, he couldn't help but curse: "Despicable Chinese."

However, at this time, he was completely attracted by Lin Jingyun and didn't bother to pay attention to Chen Xiuwen anymore.

"Miss, I'll treat you to a drink." While lowering his head and smiling, he actually raised his paws to touch Lin Jingyun's face.

Just as his hand was about to touch, he suddenly found that the clothes on the back of his neck were being held by someone. Before he could turn his head, the person behind him had already turned in a direction. Then he was kicked heavily on his butt, and then he rushed forward a few steps and fell a dog to bite.

"Bagaya Road." When he was helped up by his companion, he turned around and saw that it was just when the Chinese attacked him. He looked at each other with his companion, and the two rushed towards Chen Xiuwen at the same time.

When the two of them rushed to Chen Xiuwen, they saw him kicking the companion away with one foot, then grabbed the fist that the half-bad man who was trying to tease Lin Jingyun, and pulled it hard, twisting his hand directly. When treating the Japanese, Chen Xiuwen was not ruthless at all. He twisted it hard, and only heard a "gaba" sound, twisting the guy's arm and dislocating it, and then kicked him out again.

This time, this guy couldn't get up anymore and lay on the ground and screamed. The companion who had just gotten up from the ground, saw this, quickly reached out and took out a turtle box from his arms. The other guests who had already stood up from their seats and hid were hiding, but when they saw them taking out their guns, they screamed and ran out of the door.

"Luan Restore, be careful." Lin Jingyun also exclaimed at Chen Xiuwen.
