On July 17, 1937, the chairman of the National People's Congress delivered a speech in Lushan, clearly pointing out that "the Lugou Bridge Incident has reached the last moment of retreat. ”

"There is no chance of compromise, if you give up the size of land and sovereignty, you will be the sinner of the Chinese nation through the ages!"

The whole country was mobilized.

For the 29th Army, which bravely resisted the enemy in the battle of Lugou Bridge, all walks of life throughout the country expressed warm support. People from all over the country have organized groups to send letters of condolence and condolences to them; Pingjin students organized field service regiments to the front line to rescue the wounded and transport ammunition; Residents in the Lugouqiao area delivered water and food to the troops, and carried military supplies; The railway workers of Changxindian quickly made air-raid shelters and dug gun holes on the city wall to assist the army in holding Wanping City; The Federation of Overseas Chinese also sent a telegram to encourage the 29th Army to make persistent efforts.

The Japanese attack was met with the most stubborn resistance.

In Tong County, a strange mood is looming in the Jidong security team.

These security teams are regarded by the Chinese people as a team of traitors, and each of them is regarded as a traitor.

To be honest, it doesn't taste good.

Especially in the case of the National War of Resistance.

The security team is in Tong County, but their families are not with them.

While they are dying for the Japanese, perhaps at this moment their families are suffering from white eyes and abuse.

This kind of mood may be best understood by Zhang Qingyu, who is the captain of the team.

It's not easy to be a traitor.

Japanese advisers were arranged in several corps, and these advisers were rampant and domineering, never treating the security team as human beings, scolding when they were happy, and beating them when they were unhappy.

There's nowhere to reason yet.

Sometimes I couldn't help it, and I complained to Yin Rugeng, the "chairman", who would rather persuade his subordinates to be more patient and patient, and would never offend the Japanese.

At Lugou Bridge, the 29th Army and the Japanese fought to the death, and the people of the whole country were supporting them, but what about themselves?

The people of the whole country are spitting on themselves.

More than an hour ago, Watanabe Shaozo asked Zhang Qingyu, Zhang Yantian, and Shen Weigan to immediately go to the team headquarters of the First Corps for a meeting, but when they arrived in a hurry, Watanabe Shaozo has not appeared until now.

"One Corps, what about the Japanese?"

Since both of them are surnamed Zhang, in private, Zhang Qingyu was called the "First Corps", and Zhang Yantian was called the "Second Corps".

"I don't know." Zhang Qingyu said angrily: "Watanabe called me, but no one has been seen until now, should I go to the Japanese and ask him where he is?" ”

"Hey, these Japanese." Shen Weigan sat down and lit a cigarette for himself: "Yesterday, He Tian of the gendarmerie, a wolf dog disappeared, and he ran to me with a fierce momentum and let me be responsible." Hey, I think it's strange, your gendarmerie lost a dog, what does it have to do with us? As a result, guess what He Tian said?

He said that two of our teaching team passed by the gendarmerie, but the dog was lost in a short time, and it must have been stolen by my people, isn't this nonsense? I argued with him for a few words, but he scolded me for half an hour, and I was limited to find it within a day. ”

"Did you find it?"

"I looked for a fart, and in the end I had to lose him a sum of money. These bastards are deliberately trying to extort money. ”

"You're alright." Zhang Qingyu smiled bitterly: "The day before yesterday, that dog spy Hosomu Fan openly ran to my first squadron and arrested my squad leader, saying that he was suspected of collaborating with the enemy. Isn't it slapping me in front of my brothers? ”

Zhang Yantian sighed: "In the eyes of the Japanese, we are not as good as a dog." ”

"In the eyes of the Chinese, where are you stronger than a dog?"

Just then, a voice came in, and then a young man walked in with two companions.

"Who are you? What about the guards? ”

Zhang Qingyu was furious.

"Guards?" The young man smiled: "I have a pass issued by Watanabe Shaosa himself, this is Tong County, it is the territory of the Japanese, who dares to stop me?" ”

Several captains were silent.

The pass issued by Watanabe Shosa himself.

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Meng Shaoyuan." Meng Shaoyuan found a place to sit down and lit a cigarette: "I am a person sent by Nanjing, more precisely, I am an agent from Nanjing." ”

Zhang Qingyu and the others were shocked, and immediately took out a gun from their waists and aimed it at Meng Shaoyuan.

"Who dares to move!"

Pan Baolai and Song Deng stepped forward and pulled their clothes with a "swish".

No one had three grenades strapped to them.

Pan Baolai said sharply: "Move, everyone will die together!" ”

No one dared to move.

These three people are here to play with their lives, and Zhang Qingyu can be sure of this.

"Here, no one will hurt me, the three captains are still Chinese after all." Meng Shaoyuan waved his hand: "You guys go out first, watch the door, don't let people in." If anyone wants to break through, it's not too late to pull a grenade at that time. ”

The few grenades that Yoshiko Kawashima found were still very useful.

Pan Baolai and Song Deng glared at each other angrily, stepped back and went out, closing the door.

"Don't be so nervous, what do you do with knives and guns." Meng Shaoyuan didn't panic at all: "Put away the gun, I'm not here to rape, I'm here to negotiate with you." ”

"Negotiations? What kind of judgment to talk about? Zhang Qingyu still put away the gun.

"Do you say you live a suffocated life? It's not good to be a traitor. Meng Shaoyuan smiled and said, "What about the Japanese, they don't treat you as human beings." What about the Chinese here? Everyone spits on you. Hey, don't say it, if I really want to hoe the rape, now that you're long dead, it's as convenient for me to come here as it is to visit my own house. ”

Zhang Qingyu and the others were silent.

The young man's words were unpleasant, but they were all real and happening, and just now, if two of his men pulled grenades, it would be all over.

I have long heard that most of those agents in Nanjing are outlaws.

"Come on, let's talk about it." Meng Shaoyuan took a puff of cigarette: "This is a traitor, or you will die to the end, but you are not." Zhang Qingyu and Zhang Yantian, just the two of you, when did you break off contact with the 29th Army? It sounds good, this is called people in Cao Ying's heart in Han, it is hard to say, this is called when the table word also wants to set up the archway. ”

The faces of the three captains turned red.

Needless to say, this agent named Meng Shaoyuan must have contacted the military headquarters of the 29th Army before coming.

And this also gave them an idea in their hearts, Meng Shao came here, it can be said that he represents the 29th Army, and even represents the National Government.

"I'm young, I speak ugly, and I have a lot of weight on you." Although Meng Shaoyuan said this, he didn't mean to apologize at all:

"In Tongxian, there are such several forces, a battalion of the 29th Army, the Japanese Xuandao Wing and the Shomu Special Service, and the two corps of the puppet Jidong Autonomous Government, ah, they are under your command, and part of the teaching corps.

The Chinese people hate traitors more than the Japanese. Originally, the chairman of the committee decided to mobilize another battalion to destroy the puppet army in eastern Hebei at all costs, and give a warning to those who have already surrendered to the enemy and are ready to surrender to the enemy......"

Zhang Qingyu's faces changed.

If the Nationalist Government concentrated two battalions of the 29th Army and attacked it regardless of sacrifices, the security forces would not be able to withstand it at all. And will Xuandao United help? Now it seems that it is difficult to say.

"However, someone in the 29th Army said good things for you, saying that you still have a trace of treating yourself as a Chinese in your heart." Meng Shaoyuan's voice was slow:

"So, I was sent from above to see if you deserve to be rescued. By the way, although I am young, I am the director of the Shanghai Inspectorate Office of the Military Command, and what I said can be counted.

Send me a dignified director here to fight for you, the three captains, it's interesting enough to face you, and everything that needs to be done has been done. ”

Meng Shaoyuan is bragging there again.

This time, it was obvious that he was coming by himself, but in his words, it turned out that he represented the national government.

Moreover, although he has great power and sounds good, he is actually a title that is not on the official establishment.

But the question is, where will Zhang Qingyu and the three people know?

Meng Shaoyuan spoke very arrogantly, and he did it deliberately.

Zhang Qingyu and these people still have a conscience, and they don't want to be traitors, once they are blamed, they will definitely feel uneasy in their hearts.

And the more this is the case, the more you have to suppress them in momentum.

"I'm not afraid to tell you yet." Meng Shaoyuan snorted coldly: "This time, I came to prepare with both hands. It's done, and everyone is happy. If it doesn't work, I'll die here, and the Iron and Blood Hoes will all be dispatched, and even if the three of you can dodge the grenade explosion, you will definitely be hunted down. Of course, your family is not immune. ”

The faces of the three changed drastically.

Meng Shaoyuan pressed out the cigarette butt: "Isn't it cruel?" Trouble to your family? But there is no way, who made you traitors? From the first day you become a traitor, you must be prepared to implicate your family. Our military commanders, not to mention you traitors, will never be merciful even if they implement the family law internally! ”

"Director Meng, there is something to say, something to say." Zhang Yantian was more sleek, and when he saw that Meng Shaoyuan's cigarette was finished, he hurriedly handed over one and helped him light the fire:

"Director Meng, speaking with your conscience, it's not that there is no way, who wants to be this traitor? We also want to do it anyway, but how can it be so easy anyway? ”

"If it's perfunctory, I'll say it too, and it must be more beautiful than you say." Meng Shaoyuan said slowly: "Are you determined to be traitors? I don't know, I don't count. But can you rein in the precipice, change your ways, and do something good for the country? The initiative is in your hands. ”

No one spoke. It's just too big.

Meng Shaoyuan took out a piece of paper from his pocket and slapped it on the table:

"You three blind and deaf people, the Japanese are already ready to do something to you, and you are still thinking about how to work for the Japanese!"
