Chapter VIII Going to the National Disaster Together
After leaving the instructor's office, Lei Yuan remembered the phone call from his elder brother Zhu Chi. After hesitating, he came to a row of barracks on the northwest side of the campus.
This is the accommodation area for girls in the Central Military Academy.
Since the elder brother named You Qingman, no matter what the reason is, Lei Yuan has no reason to refuse.
At this time, Lei Yuan had respect and gratitude to Zhu Chi. He and the host had a lifetime, but he gave all his life to the host a beautiful life. All of these mean that he was an extremely upright and kind person.
The female dormitory area was not allowed to enter. When she saw a girl about to enter the dormitory area, Lei Yuan called her, reported You Qingman's name and dormitory number, and asked her to send a message.
After a while, You Qingman ran out with a gust of wind. Seeing that it was Lei Yuan, he immediately smiled like a flower.
"Captain Lei, what's the point of finding me?"
"Qingman, my elder brother invited me to dinner at the Lanwan Teahouse in Gulou at noon and asked me to call you. Is it convenient for you?"
"Okay!" You Qingman took the initiative to approach Lei Yuan and added, "I just happened to see Brother Zhu, I have to advise him to enlighten you, the fool!"
"My decision has nothing to do with my elder brother. If that's the case, you'd better not say that he is a bloody soldier. He knows which one is more important than that, so as not to hurt your self-esteem."
The two of them had a brief conversation. Lei Yuan said goodbye to You Qingman and looked at his watch. It was only a few minutes past nine o'clock. It was still early, so Lei Yuan was walking aimlessly in the campus.
Before he knew it, he came to a three-story building and saw two sentries standing at the door. Lei Yuan suddenly remembered that the building had a name.
Rest in the hut.
This is the principal's mansion specially set up in the Central Military Academy.
After glanced at it, the gate of the building was closed and there were too few guards arranged, Lei Yuan speculated that the principal was not here today.
Lei Yuan was about to leave, and a few rapid car horns sounded not far away. A black Ford sedan came with electric power. Lei Yuan quickly avoided one side of the road.
The car slowed down at the entrance of Qilumen. The sentry seemed to know the car and quickly opened the iron door. The car slowly drove in, stopped in the yard in front of the building, got out of the car, a colonel officer, holding a black briefcase, took out the key and opened the door and entered the building.
Lei Yuan was not stuck and continued to walk to the east side of the campus.
This is the teaching area of the Central Military Academy.
At this time, no classroom was open. Looking around, all the classroom doors were closed. In normal times, there were Qingqing students passing by everywhere, and at this moment it seemed lifeless and a bleak thing.
Lei Yuan, who was sitting on the steps of a classroom, remembered the battle to defend Nanjing a few days later, and felt sad.
Although Lei Yuan was not well aware of history in his previous life, he still knew a lot about the history of the War of Resistance. He knew that since Japan captured Shanghai on the 12th of last month, the headquarters in Tokyo had passed the combat plan for China.
As Instructor Yue said, Japan's base camp will issue the "Eighth Mainland Order" today, ordering the Japanese Central China Front Army to start a full-scale attack on Nanjing.
On this day, Jiangyin Fortress will be captured by the Japanese army.
Then the enemy's 10th Army will deploy the 114th Division along Liyang and Lishui Highway to attack southern Nanjing; the 6th Division followed him and attacked in the south of Nanjing; the Guoqi Detachment occupied Taiping along Guangde and Langxi Highways, crossed the river and detoured to Pukou in the north of Nanjing, cutting off the Nanjing defenders' way to retreat north; and the 18th Division attacked Wuhu through Xuancheng, cutting off the Chinese defenders' way to retreat westward.
From December 3 to 6, the 9th Division of the 18th Division in the front direction of the Japanese army will break through the alert of the 83rd and 66th Army of the Chinese defenders and occupy Jurong. The 114th Division will break through the alert of the 72nd and 74th Army of China, occupy Lishui, and attack the Moling Pass and Jiangning Town north of Lishui. The right-wing Tiangu Detachment and the 13th Division are also attacking Zhenjiang and Jingjiang...
By December 7, the Japanese army had approached the front line of defense positions outside Nanjing City, and the real defense battle in Nanjing officially began...
The fierce battle between the two sides until December 13, the fall of Nanjing means that the battle to defend Nanjing has come to an end...
In the entire Nanjing defense battle, Chinese soldiers will pay a heavy price of 50,000 casualties... and civilians...
When his thoughts were about this, Lei Yuan suddenly shivered.
He remembered the tragic Nanjing Massacre.
After the fall of Nanjing, the entire Nanjing city will be bloodbathed by the Japanese, and more than 300,000 civilians will become unjust souls...
Thousands of waves surged in Lei Yuan's heart.
He could no longer sit still.
A thought arises in my mind—
Do I need to do something?
When Lei Yuan thought of it as a living life of more than 300,000 yuan, he could not overcome the hurdle in his heart. If he had to ignore such reality, what is the difference between him and a cold-blooded beast?
However, Lei Yuan is just a captain company commander. Even if he is determined, what can he do?
In terms of military affairs, the intelligence departments of the Chinese army must have mastered a lot of attacking situations and deployments of troops, and the decisive battle swords of both sides have been unsheathed. It is a fact that Lei Yuan really can't help much.
However, after the Japanese enter the city, they will crazily massacre Chinese military and civilians. At present, all signs indicate that they have not attracted enough attention from the top leaders of China.
Do?
Or not to do it?
If done, will the direction of history change?
Conscience tells Lei Yuan that he always needs to do something.
But what should I do?
Lei Yuan was strolling without any intention and hurried to the dormitory.
There is not much time left for him.
Based on the host's memory, he remembered that the school had issued a notice a few days ago that the teaching corps currently stationed in Tangquan, the Dongsu suburb of Nanjing will send military trucks tomorrow afternoon to receive all the trainees in the Central Military Academy to the military base and quickly join the combat troops.
When they returned to the dormitory, everyone was packing their luggage, and Lei Yuan also joined in and folded some unnecessary clothes.
Pulling out his suitcase, Lei Yuan took out eight silver dollars and more than three hundred fiat coins in the cloth bag in the corner, which was his entire property.
Lei Yuan quietly put the money into his pocket.
Lei Yuan had very few personal belongings, so he quickly packed up, locked his suitcase, pushed it under the bed, and sat down at the table. Only then did he realize that Guo Donglai was the only one in the dormitory.
Lei Yuan didn't care, so he got up and ate a cigarette, lit a cigarette himself, and started smoking leisurely.
As everyone began to suck the clouds and mist, the atmosphere in the dormitory suddenly became lively.
"Lei Yuan, take care of yourself!"
"Cheng Wei, so are you!"
The first person to speak was Cheng Wei, from the Sichuan Army and a captain. This afternoon, he will be the first to leave the military academy. He first took a boat to Hankou, and then returned to his troops for several days.
"Li Haoyu, when will you go back to Yunnan?" Lei Yuan turned his gaze to another person.
"My chief passed by Nanjing two days later, and I will walk with him!"
Li Haoyu was led by the Yunnan Army. In the entire dormitory, his return journey was the farthest.
Seven people gathered in a dormitory and told each other about parting. Time flies very quickly. It was noon. A student knocked on the door and told Lei Yuan that there was a girl looking for him outside.
"You Qingman, right?" Shao Feizhou asked Lei Yuan with a smile.
Lei Yuan did not comment, and reached out to hold Cheng Wei's hand and said directly: "Brother Cheng, I have something to do at noon and I won't give it to you in the afternoon. I wish you a good journey!"
Cheng Wei also said: "Brother Lei, take care of yourself. I sincerely hope that in the near future, we will have a day to meet!"
As soon as this sentence came out, everyone couldn't help but feel sad.
Chapter completed!
