Wind Chaser: Rebirth in the 18th Year of the Republic of China

There were eight people in total, six men and two women, who were to be transported away. They arrived at the agreed location very early.

Several people looked at each other with excitement and enthusiasm.

"Do you women also join the New Fourth Army?"

The young man with slicked-back hair looked at the two young women beside him, somewhat puzzled.

His sisters and mother basically don't like this kind of fighting and killing, and are only interested in playing mahjong, shopping and watching movies.

The elders in his family also didn't want him to be in danger, so they agreed to let him join the army only after he persuaded them for a long time.

Nowadays, these women can actually be approved by their families?

Seeing the young man who was about to go out on the boat with him looking down on them, one of the two young women said frankly: "Have you never heard of the female Eighth Route Army? Have you never heard of the female Red Army? There are so many women in that group."

The woman next to her immediately covered her mouth and said, "Keep your voice down. This is an area under the jurisdiction of the Nationalist government. You are openly talking about the benefits of the Communist Party here. Do you want to die?"

Although they are all determined to serve the motherland, they are still under the territory of the Nationalist Government. If what they said is heard by people with influence, it will be difficult for them to leave.

The young woman pulled her companion's hand away, her voice full of resentment, "The government has abandoned us, and they are still covering our mouths so we can't complain?"

She and her family were originally citizens under the administration of the Nationalist Government. At the beginning, she believed in the government. Even when it came to treasury bonds, her father simply said that those people were greedy and it was normal for them to be deceived.

When Japan invaded the national territory twice, the family responded actively and secretly donated money and supplies to the National Government Army. In the end, because of the heavy casualties in the war, the government withdrew its troops and no longer cared about them.

An elder brother in the family died in the war and did not receive the proper pension, let alone any pension, so it was as if he died in vain.

After the Japanese occupied Shanghai, the area outside the concession was filled with half-naked and skinny Chinese people, and the Japanese soldiers with malicious eyes kept staring at her.

In the concession, the prices of food, cloth, and other things skyrocketed. The family, which was originally quite wealthy, was now beginning to be unable to make ends meet.

When other patriots were mobilized, she had the intention to save the country, but her family disagreed at that time, and it took her several years to convince her parents.

Now I finally have the chance to join the legendary New Fourth Army, but before I even went there, a young man traveling with me told me about it.

When Shen Jinzhen came over, he saw a strange atmosphere, as if a quarrel had just happened.

The place we agreed on was not in the downtown area, but in an alley on the edge of the concession. It was relatively quiet and not many people passed by.

Seeing this situation, Shen Jinzhen quickly walked up to the few people.

The young man was even more surprised when he saw her coming, "Why is there another woman?"

He had never studied abroad, and his mind was still stuck on the idea that men should work outside and women should stay at home. He was really surprised to see three women coming out, and none of them had bound feet.

Shen Jinzhen glanced at him and said calmly, "Don't look down on female comrades when you join the New Fourth Army in the future. Be more restrained, or you will be beaten."

Indeed, very few of the ladies and girls in Shanghai carried guns to fight in the war. Even though they accepted advanced ideas, there were a few female students who graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy, which was once jointly run by the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, but they were rare.

Most parents do not agree with their daughters going to the battlefield.
