Chapter 339 [Wind Chaser 38]
The Japanese army launched a heavy bombardment on Zhabei District, and the city was instantly engulfed in flames. Innocent citizens became victims of this atrocity, and they fled everywhere, trying to avoid the ruthless artillery fire, but many were unfortunately shot and fell to the ground, with countless casualties.
In this chaotic scene, Wei Ruolai, Aunt Zhou and Niu Chunmiao did not hesitate to join the rescue operation. They risked their lives to shuttle between the ruins, looking for and rescuing the injured. Awen used his rickshaw to take the injured to the hospital one trip after another. Although the hospital was already overcrowded, he still worked tirelessly.
However, faced with so many injured people, the hospital's resources were far from enough to cope with it. Every bed was occupied, and doctors and nurses tried their best to treat the patients, but many people still lost their lives due to their serious injuries.
Wei Ruolai knew the severity of the situation and proposed to lead the surviving neighbors to the concession for temporary shelter, away from the threat of war. However, Aunt Zhou firmly stated that she would stay in Qibao Street to continue to rescue the wounded. She believed that their help was needed here and they could not easily abandon these injured compatriots.
Faced with this difficult decision, Wei Ruolai fell into deep thought. On the one hand, he understood Aunt Zhou's determination and kindness, but on the other hand, he was also worried that staying here would put more people in danger.
Shen Jinzhen brought a large number of medical first aid supplies, water, food and other supplies, and personally distributed them to the injured citizens and their families, expressing her deep sympathy and concern for them. She carefully inquired about the injuries of each person and patiently guided them on how to use these first aid supplies correctly to minimize pain and promote recovery.
When Shen Jinzhen walked up to Wei Ruolai, she handed him a pistol and told him to stay alert at all times and protect his own safety. Although the pistol was small, it exuded a reassuring power. Wei Ruolai gratefully took the pistol and said he would use it to protect himself and the people around him.
At the same time, all officers and soldiers of the 19th Route Army issued an impassioned and generous call through the radio, calling on the general public to work together to resist the Japanese invaders. This call was like a prairie fire, which quickly ignited the patriotic enthusiasm deep in the hearts of the citizens. For a time, the whole city was immersed in an exciting atmosphere.
The citizens were filled with indignation and took to the streets, holding high banners and shouting slogans to express their indignation against the Japanese invaders and their firm determination to fight against Japan. This passion even infected the prisoners in the prison, who were also aroused with strong patriotic feelings and demanded to participate in the fight against Japan.
At this critical moment, Lin Qiaosong stepped forward and took the initiative to apply to his superiors to join the war. He showed extraordinary courage and determination, and was willing to use his actions to defend the dignity of the motherland. Due to his positive performance, his superiors approved his request and allowed him to lead a death squad composed of prisoners into battle.
This special team is full of fighting spirit and determination. Although they have made mistakes in the past, they put aside their personal past and devote themselves to the sacred mission of defending the country. As the captain, Lin Qiaosong leads by example and inspires the morale and confidence of the team members. They are closely united and ready to meet the upcoming fierce battle.
Wei Ruolai and Shen Tunan stood on the street in the concession, and wherever they looked, they saw displaced citizens. Their faces were full of fatigue and helplessness, which made them feel extremely heavy.
Shen Tunan sighed silently in his heart, knowing that these citizens were all victims of the war. In order to help these poor people, he ran around and raised a batch of precious supplies, which he originally intended to send to the 19th Route Army, which was fighting bloody battles with the enemy. However, due to the extremely fierce fighting, the roads were blocked and the supplies had to be temporarily stranded at the port.
Looking at the piles of supplies, Wei Ruolai was filled with lofty ambitions. He did not hesitate to ask Shen Tunan to personally escort the supplies to the front line. Shen Tunan could not help but frown, his eyes full of worry. He knew the danger of the battlefield ahead, but he could not directly refuse Wei Ruolai's request.
Wei Ruolai seemed to see Shen Tuonan's concerns. He patted him on the shoulder and said firmly, "Sir, leave the transportation of supplies to me. I am confident that I can complete this mission." Shen Tuonan stared at Wei Ruolai and knew that he had made up his mind, so he said no more. But before leaving, he gave Wei Ruolai many instructions, as if he had endless things to say.
Youyou knew that Shen Tunan was currently facing a shortage of funds, and the higher-ups had been slow to approve the required funds. So, she secretly sent her subordinates to deliver thirty heavy gold bars to Shen Tunan, and conveyed: "This amount can be used as activity funds, but my identity is sensitive, so it is inconvenient for me to help in person. I can only do my best in this way."
Shen Tunan was deeply grateful for Youyou's generosity, as he urgently needed the money to solve the difficult problem at hand. Now that the funds were in place, the only remaining problem was how to transport the materials safely from the concession.
When Jiang Huhao heard that Wei Ruolai was going to deliver supplies to the front line, he led his rickshaw brothers to come to help without hesitation. Wei Ruolai was deeply moved by their righteous act.
As night fell, Wei Ruolai and Jiang Huhao led the brothers to move the supplies out of the concession port and bravely sent them to the Chinese area. However, they encountered deliberate sabotage by the Japanese halfway, and the two sides fell into a thrilling and fierce battle.
At this critical moment, Lin Qiaosong led the members of the death squad to rush to the scene like a god descending from the sky to provide reinforcements. They killed the Japanese with a thunderous force and successfully escorted Wei Ruolai and others to the front line.
At the same time, Auntie Zhou actively mobilized the power of the neighbors and called on everyone to wash clothes for the brave soldiers. They worked day and night, tirelessly washing gauze and providing the most basic nursing support for the wounded.
The soldiers of the 19th Route Army experienced a thrilling, cruel and fierce battle. They risked their lives and bravely fought the enemy, defending the dignity and territorial integrity of the motherland with their blood and lives. After a long and fierce battle, they finally successfully repelled the aggressive Japanese army and won the victory of this difficult battle!
However, the end of the war does not mean that everything is resolved. The two sides finally signed an armistice agreement, but this agreement made people feel extremely heavy. Shen Tunan stared at the armistice agreement with wide eyes, his heart filled with anger and unwillingness. He could not accept such an agreement that humiliated the country, and every word was like a sharp blade piercing his heart. He clenched his teeth tightly, his eyes flashing with anger, and he was extremely disappointed and indignant at this unfair result.
At the same time, Wei Ruolai also fell into deep pain. He thought of the neighbors who had worked hard to fight the Japanese. They made great efforts and sacrifices just to defend their homes and resist foreign enemies. Now, facing such an armistice agreement, he felt that all his efforts seemed to be in vain, and his heart was filled with endless sadness and helplessness.
When the citizens heard about the armistice agreement, they rushed to tell each other. They were glad that the war was finally over and they could temporarily get away from the chaos of war. However, when they learned the specific content of the agreement, their feelings became complicated. Some people were dissatisfied with the agreement, believing that it was a harm to the national interests; others felt helpless and frustrated, not knowing how the future would develop.
