The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression Begins in Songhu

Chapter 85 A Special Interview (Part ) [Subscribe]

...The situation in the Magic City is not very clear. When will we meet next time?
Are you okay? Is everything okay in your hometown?

If I die, please do not grieve for me; when we win, go to the back mountain and stand on the top. If a mountain breeze blows, that means I am coming to see you.

...Excerpt from the last letter an ordinary Chinese soldier sent to his hometown during the Battle of Shanghai...

Surrounded by a large group of reporters, including a number of foreigners, Hu Biao had already become the focus of attention of thousands of people at the scene.

Then he was in a daze, waving the photo, and running towards Annie in both directions. Naturally, this scene was seen by everyone.

Suddenly, this scene and the sour smell of love in the air immediately aroused all kinds of different thoughts among people.

"Damn it! We're at war, why is it like an art film?" Huang A'di complained, but an aunt-like smile unconsciously appeared on his face.

The hammer next to him gritted his teeth and cursed:
"What the hell! We all traveled through time, but how come I came here to fight for my life and now I'm wearing pants that I peed myself in, while Hu Biao can still get together with such a beautiful girl."

Huang A-di: "Oh my god! This couple is so cunt~"

AT: "Ahem, ahem..."

A veteran of the Sichuan Army said: "Commander Hu's wife is so cute!"

A line from an old poem suddenly popped up in Oda's head: "Through life and death, I will be with you; holding your hand, I will grow old with you."

A tabloid reporter: "Annie, this is Miss Anne from the Paramount. She is not dead?"

But no matter what the onlookers' mood was at the moment, or what expressions they had on their faces.

The scene happening before their eyes at this moment all confirmed one thing: this kind of romance on the battlefield touched the most beautiful and softest emotion in their hearts, making the atmosphere of this night different.

It must be said that these days foreigners are more sensitive to news.

It was Harrison Foreman, the foreigner, who quickly picked up his camera after reacting and took a picture of a man and a woman running towards each other. His fingers couldn't help shaking during the process.

Because everything is so beautiful in his lens.

The scene gave him the feeling that the plot of "Gone with the Wind", the best-selling novel that caused a huge sensation right after its release at Uncle Sam's house last year, was being played out and realized before his eyes.

However, when Hu Biao and Annie were less than three or five meters apart, they were about to hug each other.

Harrison Forman held his breath, ready to take a picture of the two hugging each other; then with this photo, he would surely win the Pulitzer Prize next year.

Countless people were ready, either cheering or cursing.

A crisp gunshot suddenly rang out, and a ball of blood burst out from Anne's chest; Anne, the woman who was running like an elf, suddenly staggered and fell down.

Just as she was about to hug the man tightly, she fell into Hu Biao's arms.

The moment the gunshot rang out, Harrison Foreman felt his heart tremble, as if a rose in full bloom was rapidly withering before his eyes...

******
"冚家砍~" Uncle Bo cursed while pulling out a Type 94 pistol that he had captured from a Japanese tank soldier.

He emptied a whole magazine at a man on his left who was dressed as a civilian and holding a Mauser pistol.

And there are many, many people who do the same thing as Uncle Bo.

After Uncle Bo and many of the Sichuan Army brothers reacted, their eyes turned red.

They didn't care what this guy's identity was, or whether he was a Japanese soldier disguised as a civilian or their own soldier, infiltrating for reconnaissance and sabotage.

He didn't care that the pistol in his hand didn't continue to fire. Did it jam while shooting?
Their only thought now was to kill this bastard, immediately, without even a second's delay.

So, instinctively, they pulled out their guns and opened fire, riddling the guy to pieces. With an extra pound or two of bullets on his body, he was as dead as could be. But Hu Biao didn't even spare a second glance at this scene.

This guy, who had gritted his teeth and fought to the death against the Japanese planes, artillery, tanks, poison gas bombs and incendiary bombs on the battlefield, was now at a loss.

The power of the Mauser pistol is originally one of the largest among pistols.

Even more unfortunately, the bullet hit Anne's lungs, causing extremely serious injuries.

He sat on the ground with one hand around Anne, and with the other hand tried to stop the bleeding from the wound; but no matter how hard he tried, warm blood continued to flow out from between his fingers.

In unprecedented terror, he cried out in a sobbing voice:
"Doctor, please send a doctor to save her. Please."

Amidst such shouts, a doctor in a white coat rushed out from the crowd.

But he was still several steps away. Seeing clearly where Annie was shot and her reactions, he knew that even a god would be unable to save her from this kind of injury.

He could only stop, not daring to look at Hu Biao's expectant eyes. He shook his head slightly, conveying a meaning:
The injuries were too severe to be saved. Rather than dying on the operating table, it would be better for the two of them to stay together for a while longer.

Hu Biao understood the doctor's gesture, but he was unwilling to accept such a result; his eyes turned red and he was about to pull out his gun to force the doctor to find a solution.

Looking at the man who was about to cry, Anne, who knew she was going to die soon, wanted to say something; but when she opened her mouth, she spat out a mouthful of blood, staining the mask on her face red.

Seeing this, Hu Biao even put aside his intention of pulling out his gun to threaten the doctor, and reached out to remove the mask on Annie's face, trying to make her breathe easier.

Frankly speaking, Anne is not afraid of death at all.

Ever since she was disfigured, this vain woman had always wished she would die that day; but when Hu Biao was about to take off his mask, she was terrified.

She didn't want Hu Biao to see her disfigured face and leave a bad impression on him.

So Annie stretched out her right hand with great effort and grabbed the hand that Hu Biao was about to take off the mask; even though she couldn't speak, she pleaded with her eyes, and the content was only two words: No.

Hu Biao understood Annie's look and gave up taking off his mask.

Annie finally breathed a sigh of relief. In her last moments, she raised her hand with her last bit of strength and gently stroked Hu Biao's dirty face, which was covered with smoke, dirt and blood.

His movements were so gentle and serious, his eyes fixed on this face, as if he wanted to remember this face so that he could come back to find him in the next life.

It's a bit ridiculous to say that she had never spoken a single word to this man from beginning to end, and this happened on their first meeting.

But in the last period of her life, although she said nothing, her eyes said so much.

Finally, after Annie thoroughly explored Hu Biao's dirty face with her fingers, she smiled brightly, then her slender arms fell weakly and she died.

At this moment, Hu Biao did not yell "No" to the sky at the top of his lungs as shown in the movie, nor did he cry out loudly at the top of his lungs.

Still holding the dead Anne in his arms, his mind flashed back to that cold, rainy night at Position No. 7.

When I saw the message behind the photo, it was like a ray of light shining on me, warming my cold heart.

And in the time that followed, it gave me the courage to keep fighting.

The tears on his face continued to flow silently.

Harrison Foreman could fully feel the extreme sadness in the poor man's heart at this moment, this sadness made his soul tremble.

But it still didn't affect him. He pressed the shutter of the camera and captured this scene...
