On December 18, 1938, so many things happened in Chongqing.

Wang Jingwei absconded.

The chairman of the committee inspected the camp.

Then, the first lady of China, Song Meiling, visited the Fifth Army Hospital in Chongqing for the first time.

Of course, there were other things that happened on this day.

For example, the lover of a certain director in Chongqing eloped with her lover.

For example, Chen Wuxian, a nine-bag disciple of the Chongqing Beggar Gang, assassinated Hu Yihu, the "big beggar" of the Chongqing Beggar Gang.

The beggar gang is really divided into nine bags of disciples, and there are really dog sticks, and from the Tang Dynasty, the dog sticks are the symbol of the beggar gang leaders.

Of course, I don't know which well-fed beggar gang disciple was the first to invent it.

There are other things happening in Chongqing:

For example, Meng Shao was originally going to wipe out the new Japanese special in the Chongqing National Government Building.

For example, Japan's new head of the Chongqing government, Machi Kitaoka, is preparing to plan a shocking assassination on this day:

Explosion of the Fifth Army Hospital in Chongqing!

At this time, his biggest opponent, Meng Shaoyuan, had been successfully mobilized by him and focused his attention on the Chongqing Government Building.

In order to ensure that Meng Shaoyuan was fooled, Mazhi Kitaoka has staged a series of good shows one after another.

Now, the intelligence from the inside is that Meng Shaoyuan has ordered Wang Nanxing to lead the elite to deploy in the National Government Building.

What a fool!

The legendary strongest agent on the surface, but that's it!

Now, it's 1 p.m.

"Operation Desert", begin!

"Our operational personnel have successfully entered the hospital in batches a week ago and completed the incubation."

"Where's the explosives?"

"Explosives have been installed in several places in the hospital, and Kawaguchi Takano will fulfill his sacred mission and be willing to serve the Japanese Empire!"

"Very well, he is a warrior of the Empire! At 2:40, it detonated on time. At the same time, after the explosion, I lurked the survivors and immediately shot indiscriminately at all the people in the hospital! ”

"Hello! Your Excellency, please leave, it's too dangerous here! ”

"Shimoda-kun, I'm the head of the agency, I have to personally monitor this major operation, and I won't leave. Don't worry, I know how to dodge the explosion and how to take care of myself! ”

……

1 point.

The Fifth Army Hospital in Chongqing continues to receive patients as usual.

This is also the meaning from the lady, don't block the entire hospital because of your arrival, which will cause great inconvenience to the patients, and even make a big fuss by people with ulterior motives.

It's just that a large number of plainclothes began to enter the hospital to check for unsafe hidden dangers.

Everything is done quietly so as not to disturb the patient.

Song Meiling's guard captain Gao Wenxuan came in person.

He repeatedly suggested to his wife that a closed visit be conducted, but she insisted on refusing.

"There is no need to make a big deal and disturb doctors and patients, that is formalism."

Song Meiling didn't care too much about this.

Even at the height of the Songhu Anti-Japanese War, she braved the Japanese artillery bombardment and personally went to the front line to offer condolences.

At that time, Song Meiling, because of a car accident, broke several ribs, and some people persuaded her to treat her injuries, and condolences could be extended. But Song Meiling insisted on condolences to the soldiers first, and everything else could be postponed later.

Moreover, during the condolences period, she also said the six words that were popular in the Anti-Japanese War and repeatedly appeared on the battlefield when the first soldiers reached the moment of death!

It was during the time of condolences, Song Meiling interacted with the soldiers at the scene, and she took the initiative to ask a platoon commander, when you attacked the Japanese army, how did you command your soldiers?

The platoon commander thought for a moment and replied, "In order for everyone to charge bravely, I will shout, brothers, rush forward!" Fight the Japanese devils, we are not afraid of sacrifice. ”

The platoon commander's answer seemed to be fine, but Song Meiling shook her head gently, and she told the platoon commander with her usual elegant attitude:

"If it were me, I would say, brothers, follow me."

Literally, Song Meiling's words are not much different from the platoon leader's answer, but just a few words are different, and the meaning is completely different.

The platoon commander's remark that "brothers, rush forward" had the flavor of command, but he let the soldiers rush forward first, and did not play the role of taking the lead.

And Song Meiling replied with six words: "Brothers, follow me!" This sentence brought the emotional connection between the officer and the soldier together at once.

If you want the soldiers to charge ahead, the officers must also lead by example, so that they can have the role of calling and setting an example, so they can inspire the morale of the army even more.

From then on, the phrase "Brothers, follow me" resounded throughout the north and south of the country, white mountains and black waters, and became a famous phrase that inspired the confidence of the soldiers and civilians of the Anti-Japanese War.

Although it is only six words, the words are inspiring to the morale of the army.

Follow me, brethren!

The same is true for this visit, Song Meiling didn't care too much about her own safety, until Gao Wenxuan was almost to the point of admonishing each other to death, Song Meiling reluctantly agreed, and after she arrived at the hospital, the hospital was temporarily closed for an hour, and patients were not allowed to enter.

Gao Wenxuan was still not at ease.

He examined room by room.

"Where is this?" Gao Wenxuan stopped in front of a small room.

"Ah, the utility room."

Shang Hao, chief of the General Affairs Section, said hurriedly.

"Open."

"Wait, wait, the key is in Lao Diao's...... Lao Diao, Lao Diao, hurry up, the chief wants to check. ”

A handyman with a broom and mop hurried over, took the key from his pocket and opened the door to the utility room.

As soon as the door opened, there was a strange smell inside, and it was pitch black, and there was not even a light.

Gao Wenxuan checked it, it was full of some messy debris, and several baskets were full of bloodstained and filthy clothes.

"They were all wounded, and they should have been burned, but these people were reluctant, saying that they could still wear them after washing." Shang Hao hurriedly explained, and then made a face:

"Lao Diao, deal with it quickly, what does this smell like."

"Yes, yes." Lao Diao replied repeatedly.

Gao Wenxuan took the broom, picked out the clothes on the two baskets and looked at them roughly, then put them down and asked, "How long have you been doing this?" ”

"You say Lao Diao? I've been doing it for more than a year, and I'm quite honest. ”

"Let's go, let's go to the next room."

"Sir, let's go."

Lao Diao let out a long sigh of relief.

Inside was a basket, underneath the dirty laundry, where explosives were placed.

And behind the pile of debris, there are also explosives!

He sneaked into the hospital a week ago, and through the relationship of Shang Hao, the head of the general affairs section, he spent a full ten gold bars to buy Shang Hao.

Of course, he told Shang Hao that his identity was a reporter, so that he could interview the first-hand news of Madame Chiang's visit.

Ten taels of gold is enough to buy a person's soul.

What's more, Shang Hao never doubted Lao Diao's identity at all.

Who would have a bad idea of a hospital?

Next door to the utility room, is the intensive care unit.

Those who have been seriously injured will be temporarily here.

This is also the ward that Song Meiling must go to.

Once she is in, Lao Diao will quickly detonate the explosives.

The explosion was loud enough to flatten the utility room and the ICU next door.

Song Meiling has no possibility of escape!

Lao Diao himself will die.

But the entire imperial intelligence community will remember his name:

Kawaguchi Noble No!

Imperial Warriors!

……

December 18, 1938 at 2:30 p.m.

The chairman's wife, Ms. Song Meiling, the first lady of China, entered the Fifth Army Hospital in Chongqing!

Hospitals are temporarily locked down.

It's a big deal.

But it is also a small thing among the countless major events in the Anti-Japanese War.

It's just that Song Meiling didn't know at this time that death had quietly surrounded her......

……

Song entered the hospital and began to inspect the wards.

"Ready. Shimoda-kun, be ready to serve His Majesty the Emperor. ”

"Hello!"

……

There was no applause.

All the doctors and nurses are busy.

In their eyes, a patient is far more important than the first lady.

Lieutenant General Xuan Guoshan, the director of the hospital, accompanied Song Meiling with the leaders of the hospital and introduced the situation in the hospital to her.

"This is the intensive care unit."

Xuan Guoshan and Song Meiling walked into the ward together.

Lying inside, there are some seriously injured and seriously ill patients.

Song Meiling looked at them one by one, and told them to use the best medicine, and if they were in trouble, they could directly ask her for help.

She came to a hospital bed, and on top of it lay a wounded man who had just woken up and had a painful face.

He was moaning and moaning, his mouth wide open, his breathing heavily.

"This was wounded during the Japanese bombing yesterday." A doctor said: "He was from the fire brigade, and when he was extinguishing the fire, a bomb that did not detonate suddenly exploded, and his companions died, and he survived, but his left leg and arm were blown up...... And I'm afraid it's hard to save ......."

Song Meiling's eyes moistened.

How old is this firefighter? Eighteen? Or nineteen?

He's still a kid!

"Help me...... Save...... I ......"

The wounded man said with difficulty.

"You'll survive, definitely."

Song Meiling leaned down and made a move that made everyone stunned:

She kissed the wounded on the forehead and said:

"The Lord will bless you, child."

A reporter from the JoongAng Ilbo took the shot in time.

And this scene was also known as "the most beautiful kiss of the Anti-Japanese War" in the future.

Many years later, it was also rated as one of the "most touching photos of China's Anti-Japanese War".

Juxtaposed with it is the photo of the child soldier wearing a steel helmet and showing a resolute and unyielding look on his face!

When China's War of Resistance was at its most dangerous, it was nothing more than classes, as long as there were Chinese with a little conscience, they were all doing the most correct thing they should do!

……

Song Meiling has arrived in the intensive care ward!

Machi Kitaoka looked at his watch.

Two forty!

He slipped under the table.

It's now, detonate!

It was as if he heard a violent explosion, as if he saw the hospital trembling.

Great ......

Didn't explode?

No, it won't be a problem.

Machi Kitaoka is very patient......

……

Two forty-five.

Five minutes passed.

Quietly.

No explosions, no gunshots.

It was so calm in the hospital.

Nothing happened!
