The Japanese have not only occupied the three northeastern provinces since the September 18th Incident six years ago, but have even broken through Shanhaiguan and captured North China. The National Government was incompetent and signed many unequal treaties with the Japanese, which led to the Japanese ambitions growing. This Chinese territory, which surpassed Japan's local territory a hundred times, was already a meal in the eyes of the Japanese invaders. Fortunately, after the Xi'an Incident, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party finally formed a united front to unite against the Japanese invaders!

At this moment... the night sky of Shanghai is also full of depressing black clouds.

People do not know how ravage this land will suffer in this night. What kind of tragic situation will the people of China suffer.

At this time, Japan's so-called "Chinese garrison troops" in North China have recently conducted military exercises in front of the 37th Army of China. At this moment, the Chinese and Japanese armies are at a strife and are about to break out.

Suddenly at night, outside Wanping City, a gunshot broke the silence.

The Japanese army acting near Lugou Bridge happened to find a soldier missing.

Judging from later historical information, it doesn't matter whether the soldiers' disappearance is true or whether it is the Japanese excuse to start a war.

The Japanese soldiers all realized that the full-scale war with "China" might be about to begin. The September 18th Incident six years ago made the Japanese people feel that the Chinese army is weak and incompetent. Once the war begins, they will surely destroy "China" in a very short time! They have received militarism education since childhood, and are full of excitement at this time, just thinking about capturing this country as soon as possible and expanding territory for His Majesty the Emperor!

The smoke of war... is already in front of you!

...

The next morning.

Zhang Zixiu still walked towards the pork shop he ran alone, just like usual.

The four-level giant is just a pig-killing butcher at this time. This contrast makes people laugh.

He thought that the Qing Gang people died in Zhabei would become sensational news, but he did not expect that the people who came to buy pork recently were talking about... a new war broke out in the distant Peking!

"Damn Japanese! In the early morning of this morning, the 37th Army stationed in Wanping City had already started war with the Japanese!"

Lao Zhang, who came to buy pork, was a teacher, a rare literate person among the neighbors around him. In the Republic of China, a teacher was as precious as a master's student today.

Zhang Zixiu chopped the pork while lowering his head and asked, "Can you... be able to defend Beiping?"

"I don't know!" The teacher was also worried at this time: "Six years ago, the Japanese annexed the entire Northeast so quickly... But then he, Zhang Xueliang, was the general of whether to resist. This time the government made every effort to resist. However, the Japanese's weapons were much stronger than our Republic of China, which is really..."

After Zhang Zixiu praised the pork, he helped Lao Zhang to pack it and hand it over it to him, saying, "Peking is still so far... the Japanese won't come here, right?"

"Definitely not!" Lao Zhang took the pork and said, "Shanghai is an international metropolis! The British Concession and French Concession are all foreigners' territory, and the Japanese dare not touch foreigners easily!"

"That's good... your pork, pick it up..."

"Cheng... Zixiu, your sister has better asthma, right?"

"It's better. This time I used the medicine from a Western doctor, and the effect is much better than that of Chinese medicine."

"You have worked hard, and you have to save money to buy medicine to treat your sister. Alas... the people can't survive anymore, and the Qing Gang people come to collect protection fees all day! Your parents are also miserable, just because they can't pay the protection fees..."

After Lao Zhang left, Zhang Zixiu raised his head.

"If the Japanese dare not come to fight Shanghai, then what happened to the 'one, two, eight' back then?"

Speaking of this, he chopped the knife hard towards the pork in front of him, just like inserting the knife into the body of the Qinggang thug yesterday.

In this era, whether it is warlords, gangs, bandits, or Japanese, there are too many disasters that make the people unable to survive!

Survival...it's too hard!

Time passes by, and the battle situation becomes more and more anxious.

After the Lugou Bridge Incident, the Japanese military immediately made the policy of "expanding the China Incident", and the full-scale anti-Japanese war broke out. Ten days later, the speech of Lushan made the National Government finally determine the determination to fully resist the war. Then, the two generals Tong Linge and Zhao Dengyu died heroically and the Beijing gate was completely open to the Japanese! Immediately afterwards, Peking and Tianjin fell one after another in the hands of the Japanese!

August 9, 1937.

Shanghai Hongqiao Airport.

The captain of the Western Conference of the Japanese Navy Special Marine Corps, Yuo Oyama, and Private Saito and Tsang, forcibly drove into Hongqiao Airport despite the warnings of the local Chinese army, and were then shot dead by Chinese soldiers on the spot. This matter... has become the fuse of the "August 13th Songhu War"! Now it seems that these two people are completely "dead soldiers" of the Japanese military!

At this time, the Japanese had already taken over Pingjin. With the intention of the Japanese military to expand the "China Incident", Shanghai, a big city at the mouth of the Yangtze River, finally ushered in the smoke of war. Once Shanghai fell into the hands of the Japanese, they could use Shanghai as a springboard to threaten Nanjing, the capital of China! The "Shanghai Armistice Agreement" signed by the "January 28 Incident" that year was to prepare for the attack on Shanghai in the future.

On the night of the Hongqiao Airport incident, the Japanese navy had already been stationed at Wusongkou, and the National Government also sent the elite ace army to Shanghai! At this time, Chairman Chiang's intention was to consider that Shanghai is an international metropolis, and fighting a tough battle here could allow the international community to see China's determination and achievements in fighting against Japan. The Chairman's intention was the so-called "struggle to change". He always believed that China could not defeat Japan alone, and only European and American countries could have hope.

On the morning of August 12, Zhang Zixiu just opened the pork shop and found that densely packed Chinese soldiers had entered Shanghai!

On the morning of the 13th, he just opened the butcher shop and noticed someone came to the pork shop, raised his head and said, "Do you buy pork..."

However, when he saw the visitor, he was slightly stunned.

The person coming is...

A man wearing a mask.

The mask looked very strange, with strange patterns on it, only eyes exposed.

"May I ask..." Zhang Zixiu held the knife tightly and asked with a vigilant look: "Do you want to buy pork?"

The masked man looked at Zhang Zixiu like this, and then said in a low and weird voice: "You have been chosen by me. A few months later, I will pick you up and go to Yafogomon Castle."

Zhang Zixiu held the knife tighter and said coldly: "Brother... the Japanese are almost here to fight. If you have the ability, why don't you hit the Japanese!"

"You already belong to Yafogomon Castle. This... will not change."

Zhang Zixiu suddenly raised the knife and slashed at the masked man! Obviously, he had regarded the other party as a killer from the Qing gang! Naturally, he would take the initiative first and then suffer!

However, the masked man easily avoided the knife, and then pointed it out with one hand, and Zhang Zixiu found that... his body could not move!

"What?"

"From now on, your name will be... t, baron. I will pick you up a few months later."

Then, Zhang Zixiu couldn't move even if he moved. He looked at the masked man in front of him and slowly left in front of him...

"ah!"

He won't be able to move again after about five minutes!

Then, he immediately rushed into the house behind the pork shop!

His sister Zhang Ziqi was resting in the house. When she saw her brother rushing in, she asked in confusion: "Brother?"

"Little sister! Hurry up! Pack up! We have to leave!"

"Big brother?"

Zhang Zixiu quickly rummaged through the boxes and took out the clothes to pack. At the same time, a secret lattice on the floor under the cabinet was opened, and several money bags were taken out from it. These were all found from them after killing the green gang thugs yesterday. There were many oceans inside! Originally, because the Japanese soldiers were at the city, he thought about taking his sister away, but if his sister traveled a long distance, asthma might occur again. This time, so many Chinese soldiers came to Shanghai, which also gave him a little confidence in the war. But now... he must leave!
Chapter completed!
