As he spoke, Guo Zixu seemed to recall something and continued,""Wait for me here. I have something to return to you.”
Looking at Guo Zixu's receding figure, Chen Qiuling was puzzled. She did not understand why this young man who looked like a military officer was acting like this. What did he want to give her?
Soon, Guo Zixu ran down from the fourth floor and handed Chen Qiuling something wrapped in a handkerchief.
"What's inside?" Chen Qiuling asked.”
"You'll know when you open it," Guo Zixu said with a smile.”
Chen Qiuling opened the tag suspiciously. Under the dim light of the warehouse, she found a clean leather shoe wrapped in a handkerchief.
It was the one that Chen Qiuling had left behind in the battle zone in Zhabei.
In an instant, the unforgettable memory and the figure that had been revolving in her mind surged into her heart. Tears instantly welled up in her clear and bright eyes.
Chen Qiuling had imagined the scene of her reuniting with the hero who saved her life countless times in her mind. She had also imagined the countless conversations they had after they met. She would introduce herself generously, thank the other party politely, praise the other party for his heroic feat of defending the country and defeating the Japanese invaders.
"It's you?"
Guo Zixu smiled and nodded.""Yes, it's me."
Then, the two of them looked at each other quietly. Even time and space seemed to have stopped at this moment.
One was a young girl who had just fallen in love, facing the war hero she had been dreaming of.
One was an iron-blooded soldier who had been through two lifetimes on the battlefield, facing a girl who was exactly the same as the lover he had lost in his previous life.
"Why are you here?"
"Why are you here?"
The two of them asked each other this question again. Then, they looked at each other and smiled, indicating that the lady first.
Chen Qiuling gradually calmed down and told him about her experience during this period of time."
"After returning to the concession from Zhabei that day, we were in fear for several days. However, when we thought that you might have sacrificed yourself to save us, we felt a sense of guilt and guilt. Therefore, when we learned from the newspapers that there were only four warehouses in the entire Songhu area that still had the national army resisting, we spontaneously came to the Suzhou River to cheer for the warehouse guards.”
"At that time, I never thought that I would meet you again in the warehouse. I just felt that everyone who wore this military uniform and fought the Japanese to the death had your shadow. It was also at that time that I witnessed the scene of you fighting the Japanese to the death.”
" After that, I witnessed the brave girl scout who was not afraid of death swimming across the Suzhou Creek to deliver the flag to you. I also saw the flag fluttering on the north bank. I could no longer suppress the thought in my heart. So, I swam to the waterway connected to the warehouse from the Suzhou Creek secretly with my classmates. Then, I met you.”
Chen Qiuling tried her best not to mix in her personal feelings, but Guo Zixu, who was familiar with history, was moved.
In this era, Chen Qiuling was just a representative of countless young students who had sacrificed their lives for the country. On the hidden intelligence front, in the aerial battle against the Japanese, in the prolonged war behind the enemy's back, most of the martyrs who had sacrificed themselves to protect the country were hot-blooded young people like Chen Qiuling.
Guo Zixu nodded and said," Women are not inferior to men. If our 400 million compatriots are determined to fight the Japanese pirates to the end, how would the small Japanese pirates dare to offend the might of China?"”
"Please speak!" Guo Zixu said.
Chen Qiuling said," I want to join Regiment Commander Xie's army and become a medic on the battlefield. However, Military Doctor Li said that the army has never recruited female soldiers before. He only asked me to help out in the medical department for the time being. After the war in the warehouse is over, he will send me away. I guess you are also an officer in this army. You must know Regiment Commander Xie, right? Can you help me plead for Commander Xie to accept me into the army?”
"Who wants to join the army and join my army?”
Speak of the devil.
Xie Jin Yuan, who was upright and neat, walked up to the two of them with a smile on his face. He looked at Chen Qiuling, who was at a loss, and said,"Little girl, are you the one who wants to join the army and become a medic in the army?”
Chen Qiuling was still an inexperienced student. When she faced the famous national hero Xie Jinyuan for the first time, she naturally panicked and subconsciously looked at Guo Zixu for help.
Finally, Chen Qiuling mustered up her courage and looked up at Xie Jinyuan.""Regiment Commander Xie, I wanted to join the army and become a medic, but Military Doctor Li said I couldn't and asked me to look for you.”
"Ah?"
" What?" Chen Qiuling was confused." How could that be?" I heard from the newspaper and radio that the commander of the Sihang warehouse defense battle is you, the colonel of the 524th regiment of the 88th division, Xie Jinyuan.”
After a pause, he changed the topic and said excitedly,"Regiment Commander Xie, I understand. You must be afraid that I will drag down the army. Don't worry, I definitely won't. As long as you let me join the army, I will definitely be able to do what the male soldiers in your army can do.”
Xie Jin Yuan sighed and said regretfully,"Little girl, you read the news in the newspaper. I am the colonel, deputy colonel and commander of the 524th regiment, but that was a day ago. The independent brigade of the 88th division of the National Revolutionary Army is now stationed in the Sihang warehouse. I am only the chief of staff of the brigade, so I can't help you if you want to join the army.”
Chen Qiuling's eyes flashed with disappointment, but then she asked unwillingly,""What about your brigade commander? Can you take me to see your brigade commander?”
Xie Jinyuan looked at Chen Qiuling, then turned to look at Guo Zixu, who was smiling but not saying anything. Finally, he turned his gaze to Chen Qiuling and said with a smile,""Our brigade commander, isn't he right in front of you?”
