It was a little after 7:30 in the evening, and the sky was completely dark. The cool breeze blowing from the east carried the smell of the sea, indicating that we were not far from the seaside.
Zhou Wen stood at the south entrance of Miaoxing Town, looking at the long string of flashing car lights in the distance. Gao Xiaoshan and his team's motorcade had arrived.
The motorcade stopped in front of Zhou Wen, and a few people got out of the first few cars. Zhou Wen saw Gao Xiaoshan walking over quickly accompanied by a fat old man. Gao Xiaoshan said hello from a distance, and introduced Zhou Wen when he got close.
: "Scholar, this is Mr. Wan, he is the leader of this convoy. This time it is all thanks to their help that all our equipment and supplies have been transported."
Zhou Wen took Mr. Wan's hand, shook it enthusiastically and thanked him: "Thank you, thank you very much, Boss Wan, for your support. Thank you very much for your hard work."
But Uncle Wan said repeatedly: "It should be done, it should be done. Commander Zhou, you are killing the enemy on the front line. You are protecting our people and protecting Shanghai. We Shanghai people should give strong support, not to mention that Commander Zhou's troops have a good reputation."
Hehe, it was really satisfying to knock down four Japanese planes in one fell swoop. We can do our little bit, which is a great honor, but we don't dare to say thank you."
He was chatting politely with Zhou Wen, but in his heart he was wondering why the officers of this army were younger than the other. Judging from his age, Commander Zhou was only a few years older than his own lady. A young man of this age would be able to command a war.
?
At this time, Zhou Wen had noticed that three people, two men and one woman, dressed as students, were coming up. The three of them looked at Zhou Wen with curious eyes, and they were probably thinking that this person who was about the same age as himself was actually a high official.
Already?
Seeing Zhou Wen's eyes, Uncle Wan quickly said: "Hey, this is the young lady from our master's family. This time she came to the labor force with the condolence group organized by Shanghai University. I heard that Commander Zhou's troops were here, so I had to follow him.
Come on, the little old man was tortured to the point of being helpless by her, I hope Commander Zhou can forgive me!"
"Oh? May I ask who your master is..."
"That's Mr. Su Jixian, the boss of Shanghai Hongtong Shipping, and the younger brother of Boss Du of the Qing Gang."
When Zhou Wen heard that Su Jixian was actually the younger brother of Boss Du, the leader of the Youth Gang, he became interested. He knew the history of Boss Du, and he was also a figure with mixed reputations in history.
Like all historical figures, Boss Du cannot simply be evaluated as a good person or a bad person. As a gang, the Qinggang itself is mixed in gray and black areas. Therefore, Boss Du is definitely involved in many things that are harmful to nature.
The company he founded monopolized the opium trade in the French Concession, and he even established a global network for selling opium. Opium, as a drug, has greatly harmed the physical and mental health of the Chinese people. As Shanghai
The biggest opium dealer, Boss Du, cannot escape the blame.
However, after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, he resolutely refused to be a traitor and refused to be coaxed by the Japanese invaders. He also used the power and influence of the Youth Gang to strongly support the Anti-Japanese War.
At the same time, he used his social status and financial resources to raise a large amount of materials to support the Anti-Japanese War. Moreover, during the non-Anti-Japanese War, Boss Du also did many things that were beneficial to the people, such as relieving victims of disasters, being enthusiastic about charity, etc.
But for Zhou Wen, what he values most is the national integrity and patriotic sentiments shown by Boss Du. During the entire Anti-Japanese War, he used his own way to fulfill the responsibilities of a Chinese to the best of his ability. This is enough.
He deserves Zhou Wen's admiration and respect.
Moreover, Zhou Wen also knew that during the 128th Songhu Anti-Japanese War, Mr. Du used his own channels to fund a large number of weapons and ammunition for the 19th Route Army, including the convoy that came to support today.
There is an inseparable relationship between the call and influence.
At that moment, Zhou Wen smiled and stretched out his hand to the three students and introduced himself: "My name is Zhou Wen. I welcome you three college students to come to our army to express condolences."
Su Yaqin also shook hands with Zhou Wen generously, but her big eyes still looked at Zhou Wen curiously. After Zhou Wen, Jiang Han and Lin Yuhui shook hands and introduced each other one by one, Zhou Wen couldn't help but look at this girl who had innocent eyes and kept staring at him curiously.
He joked: "What? In the eyes of classmate Su, don't I look like an officer?"
Su Yaqin really doubted whether Zhou Wen was a real soldier. Seeing that he was about the same age as herself and looked like a fair scholar, she really couldn't believe that this was the man who commanded the troops to shoot down four Japanese planes the day before yesterday.
Perhaps it was because of their similar age, or perhaps because of Zhou Wen's friendly aura, Su Yaqin lost her sense of restraint and replied bluntly: "Mr. Zhou, you really don't look like an officer. I look like you are like a military officer."
We are the same students."
Uncle Wan felt ashamed when he heard this, and thought to himself: "My eldest lady, you are really arrogant. This young officer is also easy to talk to. If it were anyone else, he would have been impatient.
"Haha...student, I really want to become a college student. Also, you don't need to call me sir, just call me Zhou Wen or scholar."
At this time, Jiang Han also became interested. After all, he was facing the hero he admired so much, and he was so approachable, just like getting along with his classmates, so he boldly asked: "Sir Zhou... Oh no, Scholar Zhou, you
Can you tell us how you hit the Japanese planes?"
Zhou Wen chuckled and said: "Of course, but now I have something to do, so let...well, Zhang Xiaoping!"
"arrive!"
"Just introduce them to these college students and be responsible for protecting their safety."
"yes!"
Only then did Su Yaqin and the others see Zhang Xiaoping standing behind them. They saw that this big boy-like young man was actually an officer. Seeing that he was probably younger than them, they turned all their attention to him.
Zhang Xiaoping has the ability to kill enemies, but he has never seen such a battle. He couldn't help but feel a little panic, especially when he saw Su Yaqin's big, watery eyes looking up and down on him, and his face couldn't help but turn red, which set off his
The baby's fat cheeks look a bit sweet and cute.
Su Yaqin didn't hesitate, she stretched out her hand towards him and said, "Hello, Zhang Xiaoping, my name is Su Yaqin, nice to meet you."
Zhang Xiaoping blushed and stretched out his hand. He touched Su Yaqin's little hand and quickly retracted it. Then he shook hands with Jiang Han and Lin Yuhui.
The three college students were more relaxed when they met Zhang Xiaoping and exchanged greetings. After all, although Zhou Wen had a handsome face and a kind attitude, he naturally exuded the aura of a superior person. Although the three of them felt friendly and kind, they felt that they were friendly.
There are always concerns.
But Zhang Xiaoping was different. Seeing that he was younger than me and quite shy, I naturally felt much closer to him.
