The war started in the morning when the Japanese Embassy in Pingcheng was burned down. There were noisy sounds of fire fighting and escaping in the streets. Many people living in the embassy area ran outside to watch the Japanese Embassy burning in the raging fire. While the fire brigade of the Ministry of Industry and the Japanese Guards were extinguishing the fire, suddenly, four planes flew overhead. The sharp sound of the low-altitude planes flew past the eardrums. These four planes flew over the embassy area, in the eastern half of the city. Bombs were dropped in the Chinese gathering area, and immediately afterwards, the roaring sound of artillery shells in the eastern half of the city spread throughout Pingcheng.

After Japan demanded an apology from Mayor Heicheng and threatened to bombard Heicheng if he did not meet the harsh conditions, the people living in the Chinese area in the east half of the city began dragging their families to the foreign area in the west half of the city. .

The streets are full of people walking with burdens and children in their arms who want to enter the western half of the city. However, the western half of the city is only so big and cannot accommodate so many people. The situation has not yet developed to the point where it cannot be Before the state of control, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce closed the large iron gate several meters high between the east and west half of the city. The foreign patrolmen stood inside the iron gate and looked at the people begging and crying with pity, but they could not change it. What.

When Chen Yiping heard the sound of artillery fire, she immediately went to the balcony to look at the direction in which the eastern half of the city was hit. Chen Yiping said: "That is where the Chinese people are most densely populated!"

Said quickly pulled her in and said, "Sui Qing asked me to take good care of you before he left. Don't go near the window or go out." He quickly ordered the housekeeper to close all the doors and windows, and Told Chen Yibing: "Guns have no eyes, you and your children should stay in the underground air raid shelter."

Chen Yiping knew that what Said said was the best choice, but she was worried about Wang Shouyun.

Sed comforted her: "This is the embassy district of many countries. Unless Japan wants to declare war on many countries at the same time, it will not attack here. But guns have no eyes, so it is better for us to be safe."

When Chen Yibing took the three children to the air-raid shelter, she heard the sound of bombing by planes outside again. She said to Said: "What does Shaffer say about the Japanese attack on Pingcheng? These foreign areas in Pingcheng Are we going to let the Japanese attack us?"

Said said: "I have already communicated this matter with the country, and I have also made a decision with envoys from the United States, France and other countries. Once Japan goes to war with China, we countries must mediate from it. , whether it is for the benefit of the country or for my personal love for Pingcheng."

Chen Yiping expressed her gratitude to Said and said: "It was only then that I realized the pitifulness of being a woman and child. I can only hide here and wait and cause trouble to everyone."

Sed said: "Actually, I am very happy that you can be here when the war is raging. I am also afraid of loud noises and need someone to comfort me." Sed made a rare joke, which amused Shanshan. The little girl giggled and said, "Mr. Seder is not afraid!"

Said silently nodded to Shanshan and said, "Okay, Mr. Sed will be with you all." Then he said, "You guys should be good and take good care of your mother/aunt/godmother. I'll go out soon." I'll be back."

The three children nodded obediently. Aguang also asked Chen Yibing to sit on the mat. He looked up at Chen Yibing and said, "Mom, Uncle Wang and us will be fine, right?"

Abao said: "Idiot Aguang, we will all be fine. Uncle Wang is very powerful, he will beat away the Japanese!"

A Guang nodded and said, "Well, Uncle Wang is very powerful, and his marksmanship is very accurate."

Chen Yiping touched his head and said, "Uncle Wang will definitely protect us." She thought that at this time, she should stay calm and calm, otherwise the children would be emotionally infected.

Chen Yiping said: "I heard that you have started reading foreign-language articles. Here is Schafer's foreign-language newspaper. Who will read it to me?" Abao immediately grabbed the newspaper and said, "I'll read it first!" Abao read to everyone some trivial stories about the countryside in Schafer, such as a female farmer fighting wolves with a sheepdog, and news about a couple growing huge vegetables, etc. The children were immediately attracted to it. .

There are lights in the air-raid shelter. When the former ambassador built this place, he considered the crisis of power outages and prepared some candles and copper lamps. Tables, chairs, beds, etc. are all available. War is raging outside, Japan Four aircraft carriers and cruisers were dispatched from the country, and thousands of fleet combat soldiers were landed from the ships. The war spread wherever they went, and their sophisticated weapons gave them a greater advantage in the battle.

Sed came back very late. He was tired and asked Chen Yibin if she had rested and eaten well. Chen Yibing said yes. Seed said: "Look at how you can eat well when you look so anxious. You Always remember that there is a child in your belly, and you are not alone."

Chen Yiping touched her belly. At night, Xiao Lezhao seemed sleepy and made little movement.

Seide also asked Chen Yiping to eat less with him. He said: "I heard people say that pregnant women are very hungry, so there is no problem in eating more."

Said added: "Today, the Pingcheng Library in Dongcheng District was burned down by the Japanese bombing. More than 300,000 books were burned to nothing. On the road in Dongcheng District, there were many people wearing long coats and The scholar with glasses was cursing the Japanese behavior. The Pingcheng Library is one of the most famous libraries in Asia. There are many precious ancient books in it. It is really a pity that it was destroyed."

Chen Yiping was silent for a long time after listening to it. She thought that the rare ancient books passed down by her predecessors were burned in the flames of war, and she hated the war even more. She said: "I asked a friend to borrow them from the library. Some copies of rare books were going to be enlarged and printed in my printing factory. Unexpectedly, I accidentally saved these copies, which is a pity for those rare ancient books."

Side said: "Not only the library in Dongcheng District was destroyed, but also some Chinese shops were destroyed." He sighed, "This is a cruel war."

At this moment, Wang Shouyun is naturally at the forefront of the battle. Ever since Japan provoked Pingcheng, he has reported everything to Song Dinghai, but Song Dinghai asked him over the phone: "Be sure not to turn the war into a Expand and try to meet Japan’s requirements.”

Wang Shouyun said: "Commissioner, I am willing to use my blood and life to protect our homeland and motherland."

Song Dinghai said: "I don't want the Japanese to run wild in my own home, but the huge disparity between our two countries is there. Once Japan launches a nationwide war, will we be waiting for the subjugation of the country? Our temporary tolerance It’s also for the masses.”

After Wang Shouyun hung up the phone, he began to prepare for the war. He has been waiting for this day since the Japanese occupied Fengzhao City and the Northeast. Pingcheng is the economic center of China and the largest in the entire Southeast. Such an important town, the Japanese will swallow this piece of fat sooner or later.

He did not tell Chen Yibing these things. Because of his main battle, Song Dinghai called him later to reprimand him, saying: "You must know the importance of the country and personal feelings!" Later, he even issued a transfer order to Wang Shou. Yun exchanged orders with the Suzhou garrison. As a result, before Wang Shouyun could tell Chen Yibing about the transfer, the Japanese war broke out.

Wang Shouyun felt that all the blood in his body seemed to be boiling, as if he was eager to use the blood of the Japanese to extinguish the anger in his heart. The soldiers of his fourth division had become fatter after two years of training. Ma Zhuang, Wang Shouyun, as Song Dinghai's confidant, could naturally get funding when other military regions could not issue food and salary, and he never withheld food and salary, so the non-commissioned officers who served under him liked him very much. In these troubled times, Here, it is quite difficult to meet such a commander.

But even if Wang Shouyun had been prepared, facing the Japanese forces intertwined with aircraft carriers and bombers, their Fourth Division still suffered heavy losses. The Ninth Division transferred from Suzhou also joined the war amidst the chaos. Commander Lu and Wang Shouyun of the Ninth Division split up to attack the Japanese army. Wang Shouyun reported the battle situation to Song Dinghai and asked the Nanjing government to send troops to fight the war, but their telegrams came to nothing.

On the first night of the war in Pingcheng, all the people in Pingcheng seemed to be able to hear the intertwining sounds of machine guns, guns, and artillery shells. Most people may have had insomnia at night.

The next day, Seder united the United States, France and other countries to negotiate and mediate with Japan and China. Li Shaoyong, as the Minister of Foreign Affairs, naturally had the unshirkable responsibility. Song Dinghai’s group was confused about the war in Pingcheng, and some people even reprimanded Li Shaoyong did not act as foreign minister, but Li Shaoyong scolded him: "I used to visit the ambassadors of France, the United States and other countries, and they all treated me warmly, but this time I sat in their living room for half an hour. I haven’t seen anyone yet. Do you still need me to tell you that a weak country has no diplomacy?”

The actions of the Fourth Division and the Ninth Division in actively resisting the war and protecting Pingcheng moved the people of Pingcheng very much. Especially under the call of many patriots, many people wanted to donate money and materials to the frontline troops.

Zhang Shaobai also knew that Chen Yibin was more than eight months pregnant. He originally planned to take care of the whole thing by himself, but Chen Yibin came over anyway. With a big belly, she received the common people and wealthy businessmen who came to hand over supplies at the charity management office. .

Many people know that Chen Yibing is Wang Shouyun's wife. The teacher's wife raising materials and money for the front line here makes many people feel surprisingly calm, especially Chen Yibing's calm and calm appearance. She said: "I believe in Mr. Wang. Behind him is our Pingcheng. He cannot take a step back. He said that even if he sheds the last drop of blood, he must devote himself to the motherland and the people."

Many students bowed to Chen Yibing on their own initiative and said, "Please accept our respect for Mr. Wang."

Chen Yiping said: "I don't dare. He is a soldier. The duty of a soldier is to protect his family and the country. He cannot deserve everyone's courtesy. He just did what he should do."

Among those who came to donate was Shen Yingdong. Shen Yingdong, who once dominated the eastern half of the city, had a deep attachment and love for it. Standing behind him were students from the He'anxi Medical School, wearing The uniform of the Western Medicine School is a white coat worn over a stand-up collared coat made of indanthrine. Originally, white coats were only worn by them when they were taking medical classes and anatomy classes, but now they all wore them in unison. It looked like these students were a white army.

The sight of students from 'He'anxi Medical School' wearing white coats coming here to help was seen by many people. They stopped in unison. Shen Yingdong petitioned on behalf of the students. He said: "Boss Zhang, Boss Chen , as the founders of our 'He'anxi Medical School', our students would like to report their thoughts to you. They want to go to the battlefield to help treat the wounded soldiers."

Chen Yiping said: "They are still students, and guns and cannons have no eyesight on the battlefield."

Shen Yingdong said: "But if Pingcheng is lost, what good fruit will we ordinary people have to eat under the Japanese bayonets? If we don't do our best now, when will we do our best?"

Shen Yingdong's words were echoed by most people present, and he and the students of Anxi Medical School collectively petitioned. The student representative called Chen Yibing and Zhang Shaobai "Mr. Chen and Mr. Zhang". He said: "We signed a contract when we entered the school. Through an agreement, if we join the army after graduation, our tuition will be free. We have learned a lot of knowledge in school in the past few years. When the national crisis hits, it is the time when we need to contribute. Otherwise, the Western medicine we have studied for these years will be useless. For what?"

The student's speech was applauded by the people present. Some people even responded that they wanted to join the army, and the scene became chaotic. Zhang Shaobai said to Shen Yingdong: "Principal Shen, I agree to this. Anyone who goes to the battlefield to help rescue wounded soldiers will not only have free tuition, but I will also give each person fifty yuan when they come back!"

That night, as the fighting gradually subsided, Shen Yingdong led the group of students in white coats onto the battlefield. Shen Yingdong himself was also wearing a white coat. He was carrying the shell gun he had used when he was the most powerful man in the eastern half of the city, and the short knife that had been with him for many years. He touched the blade and said, "I can't die like this."

The arrival of this group of medical students brought new blood to the Fourth and Seventh Divisions. The supplies collected by Zhang Shaobai and Chen Yibing were quickly sent to the front line. Wang Shouyun received a red thread jacket given to him by Chen Yibing. There was also a peace charm in his small purse. Wang Shouyun said helplessly: "Jiahe has also begun to become superstitious and believe in ghosts." However, he still carefully put it in his clothes and pressed it against his skin, thinking in his heart: "Jiahe is waiting for me. ."

After dawn, the sound of machine gun fire once again sounded outside Pingcheng. Wang Shouyun led the soldiers to the front. On his dirty face, only his bright eyes could still see the appearance of the heroic general. The gentleness of the bookish breath had long since disappeared from him. He took his gun and started shooting at the enemy.

The war lasted until the fifth day. The foreign ambassadors and the League of Nations, represented by Ambassador Cedric Schafer, finally succeeded in mediating. China and Japan ushered in a three-day truce for repairs.

Wang Shouyun called Chen Yibin at this time. He said: "Jiahe, I'm fine. Don't worry. The reason why this mediation was successful is that our army won a small victory. I have already applied to the committee. Reinforcements are coming. Reinforcements will arrive soon."

Chen Yibing clearly knew that China was weak in this war in her previous life. Although the soldiers and civilians persisted in the resistance war, China's casualties were three times that of Japan. In the end, some compensation measures were used to stop the war. In her previous life, she had nothing to do with Wang Shouyun, and she didn't remember anything about him. But now she thought about it. Since he had already reached the rank of division commander, why didn't she read about it in the newspapers after this battle in her previous life? Where's his name?

When Chen Yibin thought about this, she hated herself for having paid more attention to the political situation and the military in her previous life, but it was useless to say anything else. Wang Shouyun said on the other end of the phone: "Jiahe, please relax, take good care of the baby and give birth." Xiao Lezhao, I will remember your first-class merit!"

But three days later, the Japanese began to dispatch two additional cruisers and a mine fleet from their home country. At the same time, the fleet also transported 3,000 marine soldiers from their home country to join the new war. However, the support from Song Dinghai that Wang Shouyun thought had not arrived. Two days later, an artillery regiment was transported from Nanjing to Pingcheng to join the war. Compared with the Japanese aircraft carriers, bombers, and marines, the Fourth Division and The battle for the Ninth Division was even more difficult.

Although Cedric has been working hard to mediate the war between the two countries, Japan's response has not been optimistic.

Chen Yibing has always set up a charity donation office here, and she works there with a full belly, as if she can forget her thoughts and worries about Wang Shouyun. Huang Weitian often called Seide to care about Chen Yibing. However, as the war progressed, the phone lines were blown up by the Japanese, and she lost contact with Huang Weitian.

A large number of ordinary people donated materials and money, but the anxious war situation made it very dangerous to even send materials to the front line. However, some of Zhang Shaobai's Baixiang people still took up this responsibility, which made Zhang Shaobai's reputation even greater in Pingcheng. It was loud. In the past, when Zhang Shaobai was mentioned, he was the first among the lower-class people, but Zhang Shaobai's righteous deeds and the responsibility he showed during the war made the people of Pingcheng give him a thumbs up.

When Japan sent troops from home for the second time, Chen Yiping gave birth to a child. At that time, she was still registering donations at the charity office, but when she got up, warm liquid flowed between her thighs, letting her know that her amniotic fluid had broken. , and was quickly sent to the hospital.

Sed came to accompany Chen Yibing outside the door. When the doctor told him that Chen Yibing had given birth to a girl, Seed whispered: "Wang Lezhao..."

The birth of new life did not bring dawn to the war situation in Pingcheng. Japan's second increase in troops was the Army Combat Team. The long period of the naval fleet and the anxious situation in China made the Japanese lose their patience and finally sent them The ace army was transported to the battlefield of Pingcheng.

Song Dinghai also transferred Jiangxi's Sixteenth Army to the battlefield, as well as a Central Heavy Artillery Regiment. This was a heavy artillery regiment trained by Song Dinghai. Their appearance temporarily tilted the battle towards China, but the Japanese Army After joining the battlefield, their sharp guns and tanks flattened the fragile military bunkers in Dongcheng District...

Every day newspapers reported on the war situation in Dongcheng District. Chen Yiping looked at little Lezhao, whose jaundice had faded and became white and tender. She kissed her little face and said, "Little Lezhao, dad will be safe. He hasn't seen you yet."

The war continued for more than half a month, during which Japan and China continued to increase their troops and suffered constant casualties. Finally, under the joint deterrence of the League of Nations, Schafer, the United States and other major powers, Japan also suffered 4,000 casualties. Finally an armistice was agreed, and at the same time, the number of Chinese casualties was more than 13,000. This huge number of casualties made everyone sad.

The war that had shrouded Pingcheng for more than a month finally stopped, but the bodies of dead soldiers and civilians were everywhere outside Dongcheng District. The iron gates in the east and west districts were opened, but Dongcheng District had been almost completely destroyed by the war. On top of the ruins, some people were wailing and mourning the loss of their homes, while others were moving away the bricks and rubble in a dull manner, and the sight was desolate.

Chen Yiping thought that despite going through a painful process, the sun would eventually penetrate the dark clouds, just like the war in Pingcheng. Even if it took a long time to rebuild after the war, the war would eventually stop.

However, a head-on blow left her speechless in pain.

Wang Shouyun died on the battlefield.

When the Japanese occupied the Dongcheng District train station, he led the troops to rush forward and was shot through the chest by bullets fired by the Japanese army. He finally fulfilled his vow: If I want to die, I will die on the battlefield fighting the enemy. Among them, I am willing to work hard and die to protect the nation and country.

Wang Shouyun, Wang Suiqing, died.

More than a month later

The armistice agreement that has been negotiated for more than a month is still being negotiated. In the Schafer Consulate, a mediation meeting jointly held by representatives from many countries was held again. At the meeting, Japan listed the conditions for agreeing to the armistice in China. These harsh compensation payments This so-called peace agreement was formed. Although this peace agreement was so disappointing, the remaining personnel of the Fourth Division were transferred back to Nanjing and were taken over by the combat troops directly under Song Dinghai. At the same time, Pingcheng ushered in new garrison troops.

That day happened to be the day of Xiao Le Zhao's 100th Day Banquet. After the meeting, Said and Li Shaoyong went to the Chen Mansion to visit Chen Yiping.

Huang Weitian and Li Shaoyong returned to Pingcheng immediately after the war. Huang Weitian stayed with Chen Yibing. She learned about Wang Shouyun's death on the battlefield on the train and saw Chen Yibing hugging him. Seeing the child's lost look in the living room, she burst into tears. Her tears could not be controlled silently. She ran to Chen Yibin and shouted: "Jiahe..." and then pulled Chen Yibin and Xiao Lezhao together from the side. Hold on.

Chen Yiping did not cry, but said: "Look at little Lezhao." She teased the child and said to Huang Weitian: "Her name is Wang Lezhao, which is the name Sui Qing gave her before. I haven’t thought about it yet, let’s start with you as my godmother.”

Huang Weitian still had tears on her face. She looked at the white and tender baby in her swaddling clothes and said, "Celebrate the arrival of peace. Let's call our nickname Huan Ping."

Chen Yiping said: "Huan Ping, this is a very good name." Then he said to the child: "From now on, your nickname will be Huan Ping. Look, this is your godmother."

Huang Weitian looked at Chen Yibing, who was still calm, and felt so uncomfortable that she didn't know what to say.

After a month of companionship, Chen Yibin remained as usual, and even Wang Shouyun's daily clothes were not dealt with. His things were placed in their original positions.

At the memorial ceremony after the armistice, Wang Shouyun's body was blown up, and his broken helmet was used as a substitute for the cenotaph. The words "Wang Shouyun, Commander of the Fourth Division of the First Army" were written inside the helmet. , Chen Yibing did not even attend the memorial ceremony. After the commander of the Ninth Division who participated in the war with Wang Shouyun came to persuade her, no one came to persuade her on this matter.

For more than a month, relatives and friends often came to visit her and her children. Huang Weitian even took her little Fubao to live in the Chen Mansion, for fear that Chen Yibin would be a little confused. Although Chen Yiping seemed normal, after losing her lover, her normality made everyone feel sad and afraid that she would do something drastic.

On the day of Xiao Huanping's 100-day banquet, Chen Yibing invited several close relatives and friends to have a meal together at Chen's mansion. After the meal, when everyone drank tea together, Chen Yibing said to everyone: "I know you are all afraid of what I will do. If something happens, I won't do it. I still have Huan Ping and A Guang. They haven't grown up yet, so I won't do anything stupid."

She added: "Besides, Sui Qing told me to wait for him before joining the war, and I will always wait for him."

"Even if I die, I will die in my heart. But now, I don’t admit it in my heart. I treat Suiqing as still alive, but he can’t come back. I am willing to wait for him like this until I die. ."
