On December 1937, 12, Nanjing fell. After the Japanese army invaded and occupied Nanjing, the Nanjing Massacre shocked China and the world.

On December 1938, 12, under the inducement of the Japanese government, Wang Jingwei, the leader of the pro-Japanese faction in the national government, publicly surrendered.

On March 1940, 3, under the protection of Japan, Wang Jingwei came to Nanjing and established the "National Government of the Republic of China" in the name of "Returning the Capital", which was called the "New Government" by the world at that time.

It was also in this year that Minglou and Wang Tianfeng were quickly promoted to colonels, becoming the leading figures in the military rank second only to Director Dai at the time.

Ming Lou and Wang Tianfeng graduated at the same time as the other former members of the Blue Shirts Club, there are no living people.

Shanghai, Nanjing, Wuhan, Guangzhou, Minglou's feet have traveled almost half of China. Minglou believes that Wang Tianfeng is the same.

can't stop...can't stop...

When Nanjing fell, Wang Tianfeng, who was ordered to retreat, was laughing, watching the fallen city laughing crazily, but the voice was more like crying.

In 1940, the stationmaster of the military-controlled Tianjin Station defected to the enemy. This was the last living year of Minglou who graduated at the same time as Wang Tianfeng. Minglou didn't know him well, but that person was Wang Tianfeng's friend.

After Wang Tianfeng personally executed his friend who defected and surrendered at the same time and became a traitor, he smiled and said to Minglou who came to meet him: "That's fine, at least, I know that the two of us will never betray, hey, what a pity, I have no chance to taste what it would be like to kill you with my own hands."

Some died, some were betrayed, and some were executed by their own hands.

However, this was nothing in those days.

In those days, people died every day on this land.

Death is cheap.

So cheap that even sadness looks ridiculous.

Responding to Wang Tianfeng, covering Wang Tianfeng's evacuation back to Chongqing, Ming Lou went back to his small office in the air-raid shelter in Chongqing, hearing deafening bomb explosions, horrifying, and from time to time there was dust in the air-raid shelter that was shaken by the bombing Shaking down, Ming Lou sat in front of the office, looking at the blank report paper for a long, long time.

When the explosion stopped, Ming Lou picked up the pen and began to write seriously on the report paper.

After an unknown amount of time, the door opened, and someone came in and said, "Report."

Minglou didn't move or look up.

The man didn't seem to wait for Minglou's response, and said in a rigid voice: "Brigade Commander Chen Chuanzhen led the army to fight the Japanese army for three days and nights. They ran out of ammunition and food, and the entire army was wiped out."

Ming Lou still didn't raise his head, but asked indifferently, "How far has it been hit?"

The man replied: "Fighting bayonets, three for one, delayed the Japanese army's advance into Chenchuan Town, and the people withdrew in time."

Minglou said lightly: "That's right, if that Mr. Tang who vowed to live and die with Nanjing has half the blood..." Minglou didn't go on talking, changed the subject lightly, and said, "This Brigadier Chen Chuan, he The reorganization was approached by you a few years ago, this time organizing the evacuation of the people, you did a good job, I will make a report and report to you.”

Mingcheng stood there with no expression on his face, and said: "I don't need it. I sent Chen Chuan's soldiers to die. I am killing people, and killing people is not a credit."

Minglou raised his head, leaned back slightly on the chair back, but his eyes were still looking at the report on the table, his face was still very pale, and said: "Soldiers should die when they should die. The duty of a soldier."

To this, Mingcheng did not respond.

Minglou finally raised his eyes at this time, his eyes were filled with coldness and sharpness, and said: "I remember that your rain and dew period will be two and a half months away."

Mingcheng responded calmly: "Half a month has passed since the rainy period last time."

Minglou said: "From now on, stop using the inhibitor."

Mingcheng didn't speak.

Ming Lou said: "I'm ready to formally declare the stealth plan to Director Dai. I want you to go back to Shanghai with me. I need to use your identity as Kun Ze."

Hearing this, Mingcheng raised his eyes to look at Minglou, his eyes were clear and peaceful. Finally, he gave a military salute and said, "Yes."

Seeing Mingcheng's unwavering eyes, Minglou hesitated suddenly, a crack seemed to appear on his indifferent and cold mask, he opened his mouth to say something, but Mingcheng spoke earlier than him.

Ah Cheng opened his mouth, and he said softly: "Brother, if the life and death of the country benefit you, why not avoid it because of misfortune and good fortune, brother, we are all the same."

This is the first time Ah Cheng has called Brother Minglou since he left Shanghai.

The author has something to say: Remembering that period of history is the responsibility of everyone living in this land today. Usually, I don’t go back to read these things myself, because they are too heavy. In the text, it can be considered that I willfully force more readers to read more.

Some people say that this article is cruel and cruel, but in fact, the cruelest thing is always just history.
