The quartermaster at the reception desk of the 19th Route Army would not let these enthusiastic students drag their tired legs back. He asked the condolences groups from all over to rest in Zhenru Town, and those who had cars would go back by themselves.
If there is not enough space in the car, just wait for the transport truck from behind to come up, and then go back in the truck that comes back.
On the streets of the small town, Su Yaqin, Jiang Han, and Lin Yuhui were sitting in front of a tea shop on the street, drinking a large bowl of tea listlessly, waiting for the car to return to the city.
Just when the three of them were saying nothing, a long line of trucks drove up in the distance. Everyone knew that these were vehicles from the rear transportation team. Su Yaqin looked at the truck fleet that was getting closer and closer, and found that these were not military vehicles.
, some trucks also have the painted characters of XX company or XX factory printed on them. You can tell at a glance that they are private vehicles.
On the front of a truck, the four characters "Hongtong Shipping" caught Su Yaqin's eyes. Lin Yuhui next to her said in surprise: "Hongtong Shipping? Yaqin, isn't that your truck?"
But they saw that Su Yaqin had already run out and was standing on the roadside with a smile on her face and waving to the truck.
The truck at the head immediately pulled over and parked. An old man of about fifty years old jumped out of the passenger seat. He was slightly fat and wearing a black long gown and mandarin jacket. He looked at Su Yaqin on the roadside and said repeatedly: "Oh! My lady.
, Aren’t you in school? Why did you come here? This is a very dangerous front line. If the master knew about it, why would he die in a hurry? "
Su Yaqin had a hard day today and found that going to the front line to offer condolences was not what she imagined. She could deliver the condolences directly to the soldiers, and also listen to the soldiers tell how they killed the enemy. She also made a lot of drafts on the way here.
, prepared to inspire and thank those warriors who fought bravely against Japan.
Now, the passion and blood in her heart have been replaced by physical fatigue and disappointment in her heart. Jiang Han and Lin Yuhui are just like her. They are very unwilling to go back in such a dejected manner. How can they show up to the party tomorrow?
Let the classmates brag.
Moreover, the three of them also hid a little secret in their hearts. In their backpacks, they all hid their pocket money that they collected when they went home. Su Yaqin even put some of her gold and silver jewelry in the bag. Their ultimate goal was
I want to hand this money over to the heroic troops who shot down four Japanese planes. Otherwise, it would not be enough to express their reverence and admiration.
Every boy and girl has a heart to worship heroes. In the past two days, the national news media, under the conscious hype and reports of all forces, have already boasted that the Shanxi Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army of the Central Party Committee is rare in heaven and rare in the world. Three young boys
Naturally, the girl was not exempt from vulgarity, so she came up with the bold idea of going to express condolences to the troops.
Seeing her relatives at home, Su Yaqin couldn't help but be overjoyed. She went up and grabbed the old man's arm and shouted, "Uncle Wan, it's so great to see you. Why are you here too?"
It turns out that after the Anti-Japanese War broke out in Songhu, people from all walks of life in Shanghai spontaneously mobilized to support. Those with money contributed money and powerful efforts. Even underworld organizations such as the Qinggang also actively participated. Moreover, they were huge and had stronger organizational capabilities than ordinary social organizations.
Many civilian vehicles transporting ammunition to the front line are organized by them. The 19th Route Army does not have so many trucks.
As Mr. Du's younger brother, Su Jixian was naturally unwilling to lag behind and sent out all the trucks from his shipping company, but Su Yaqin didn't know it.
This Uncle Wan is Su Jixian's old confidant. This time, the dozens of trucks that Hongtong Shipping Company took out were headed by him. I saw that Uncle Wan also grabbed Su Yaqin's arm, for fear that the apple of the Su family's eyes would come from behind again.
He ran away before his eyes, turned around and waved to the truck behind him, telling them to move forward.
Then he looked at Su Yaqin and said dotingly: "Look, miss, you didn't go to school well, and you actually ran to the front line. What if these bullets hurt you? Follow me now, and you are not allowed to run around for a while.
We'll go back after the truck is unloaded. If the master finds out, he won't scold you to death."
After saying that, he looked at Jiang Han and Lin Yuhui who came over to say hello and laughed and cursed: "You two brats, did you lure the young lady out? Let's see how I deal with you when we get back."
Jiang Han and Lin Yuhui smiled innocently and did not defend themselves. You must know that the two careless teenagers walked such a long way and heard the faint sound of gunfire and artillery in the distance. In addition, they were also worried about Su Yaqin.
It is impossible to say that I am not nervous about my safety. Now that I am better, I finally see Uncle Wan, and I feel at ease.
Su Yaqin quit, and said coquettishly: "Uncle Wan, don't bully them. I'm coming this time. They came with me because they were worried. They are not allowed to deal with others when they go back."
Uncle Wan burst out laughing and said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, Uncle Wan won't clean it up, I won't clean it up, but you must follow me back later and don't make trouble for me again."
It’s true that a woman can’t stay in the right place, so now she can speak for others. But these two are both young and talented people. Which one to choose will be difficult for the young lady in the future.
A few people were chatting and laughing when they saw an officer walking out of the large courtyard of the reception area and quickly walked up to Uncle Wan. He glanced at Su Yaqin in surprise as his arm was being held by Uncle Wan, and smiled at Uncle Wan.
Said: "Mr. Wan, thank you very much for bringing so many supplies again. With your support, our brothers have more confidence in fighting against the Japanese."
Uncle Wan said with a smile: "Mr. Chen, you are so polite. We are all Chinese. You are bleeding at the front. We ordinary people can't just watch, can we?"
The two of them chatted politely for a while. Uncle Wan was an old man in the world. He could tell that Chief Chen might have something to do, so he said directly: "Mr. Chen, if you need any more help, just ask."
Chief Chen said with a smile: "If there is such a thing, I'm afraid we will have to trouble Mr. Wan and your convoy to make another trip."
After speaking, he looked at Su Yaqin who was looking at him curiously with her big eyes open.
Uncle Wan smiled and said, "This is our master's daughter. She joined the school's condolences group to work in the army. You can say whatever you want, Chief Chen. It's okay."
Chief Chen looked at Su Yaqin kindly and nodded, then said softly: "Have you ever heard of the unit that shot down the Japanese plane two days ago?"
Su Yaqin fell in love with it as soon as she heard it. Could it be that he was talking about the Shanxi Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army of the Central Party Committee that she tried every means to express condolences to?
Uncle Wan said: "You know, haven't the newspapers reported it? It's really pleasing to the people. It has greatly boosted the ambition of us Chinese people."
Chief Chen said softly: "This unit will move forward today. They have a lot of equipment and supplies, and they need trucks to help transport them. The specific destination will not be announced until you arrive at Huangdu. You will need to send them up overnight."
