When Chen Zikun and Cheng Shi were trekking in the vast mountains, the small group of Japanese remnants were still struggling in the mountains.
Several lightly injured soldiers dragged their shot legs and climbed out of the deep mountains and forests.
They happened to encounter reinforcements and cried bitterly.
With tears streaming down his face, he recounted his experience, and reinforcements were immediately sent into the mountain, only to find a pile of scattered corpses.
There were ferocious beasts in the mountains, and all the wounded Japanese soldiers left to be rescued were eaten by wild wolves.
They probably went through a desperate struggle before dying.
A severed hand still holding a bayonet was found nearby.
Forty elites of the imperial army, except for three young soldiers, were all buried in Daqingshan.
Major General Tian Lu was extremely shocked when he received the report.
He quickly sent people to take the three survivors to the Beitai detachment headquarters for detailed questioning, and finally came to the conclusion that, There are large groups of guerrillas in the mountains.
In order to completely eliminate the remaining Chinese troops in the north of the Yangtze River, Major General Tian Luchao sent an infantry brigade into the mountains to clean up.
After Xia Xiaoqing, Lin Wenjing and others rested in the provincial capital for a few days, they set off for Shanghai.
In the past, traveling between the provincial capital and Shanghai was either by special plane or first class on a passenger ship, but this time they could only stay in second class.
The ship arrived at Xiaguan Pier in Nanjing.
At that time, a group of Japanese soldiers boarded the ship to check their documents, search their luggage, stab them everywhere with bayonets, and made a mess of the passengers' luggage.
Everyone dared to be angry but dared not speak out.
This is what happened in the Chase cabin.
The situation in the second-class cabin was slightly better.
Two guys carrying sabers and military police armbands checked their documents one by one.
Those who did not have good citizen certificates were all detained.
Lin Wenjing saw a passenger dressed as a businessman because he had two Juzui was slapped twice on the spot and escorted off the passenger ship, trembling uncontrollably.
When they arrived, Liu Youjin helped them apply for documents, but something was wrong somewhere.
The military policeman took the documents and looked at them over and over, staring at Xia Xiaoqing with suspicious eyes.
Xia Xiaoqing lowered her arms, the flying knife in her sleeves ready to be thrown out at any time.
Lin Wenjing's face turned pale and her heart was beating fast.
"Come with us."
The military policeman said with a straight face.
At the critical moment, the cabin door was suddenly pushed open, and a foreigner in a suit and leather shoes walked in and angrily protested to the military police.
The two military policemen nodded and bowed for the last time and left.
Xia Xiaoqing was confused, but Lin Wenjing understood.
This man was a British diplomat who used his status to drive away the Japanese military police.
She hurriedly thanked her in English, but the man smiled and said in Chinese with a Jiangdong accent: "You're welcome, you two.
Mrs.
Chen, this is what a gentleman should do."
Lin Wenjing asked curiously: "You know us?"
"Of course, John Walker, consul in Jiangdong." said the diplomat.
With Consul Walker accompanying us, the journey became extremely smooth.
The passenger ship arrived at Shanghai Shiliupu Pier.
There were obviously more Japanese warships in the Huangpu River than before.
Looking at Nanshi and Zhabei in the distance, it was already Japanese territory, which made people feel sad.
When I got off the ship, I unexpectedly met Liu Ting.
It turned out that she had also come to Shanghai on this ship.
The sisters who had gone through many tribulations met at the pier.
Naturally, they burst into tears and hugged each other tightly.
After saying goodbye to Mr.

Walker, Liu Ting found a few rickshaws and everyone went home together.
The concession was different from before.
Not only were tall brick walls built, but sentry posts were also set up at the gates.
Pedestrians were coming and going on the French Main Road.
In a hurry, there were many more beggars than before the Songhu Battle.
When I arrived at the Chen Mansion in the French Concession, the door was closed and everything was as before.
I knocked gently and the door opened shortly after.
The gatekeeper saw through the crack in the door that it was Secretary Liu and Mrs.
Xia Lin holding their child Feng Chen.
When the servant came, he hurriedly opened the iron door and welcomed them in.
As soon as they entered the living room, everyone was stunned.
A huge portrait of Chen Zikun hung in the main hall, with elegiac couplets on both sides.
Among them were four big black characters: "Eternal History".
There was an old janitor in his fifties left in the mansion.
He was wiping away his tears and talking about the master's benefits.
Xia Xiaoqing burst into laughter and said, "Hurry up, it's bad luck."
The gatekeeper looked at her in surprise.
This shouldn't be said by a new widow.
Liu Ting said: "Take it away, the master is not dead, he is alive and well."
The gatekeeper opened his mouth wide, and it took him a while to realize what was happening.
He happily removed the portrait and the elegiac couplet.
There were no servants at home, so the three women worked together to clean up the mansion inside and out, and cleared out several bedrooms.
Liu Ting called Li Yaoting, Mu Yichen and others to tell them that she and Xia Lin Er The lady has arrived in Shanghai.
The first one to arrive was Li Yaoting.
He arrived in less than ten minutes.
He was still wearing slippers.
He shouted when he entered the door: "Where is the big Kunzi?
Where are the people?
My big brother, why is it happening like this?
I'm crying to death."
Me."
"He is still in Jiangbei, we came here first."
Lin Wenjing replied.
Li Yaoting patted his chest and said: "It's good to be alive.
You don't know that a memorial meeting for thousands of people was held here in Shanghai.
That person really died in the sea.
Many students shed tears.
I thought about it.
What do people live their lives for, other than to care about their family history and reputation.
Dakunzi’s life is worth it.
Let’s not talk about it, just talk about some unlucky things.
This is a boy or a girl, how old are they?”
Lin Wenjing held Xiao Baicai and showed it to Li Yaoting: "Girl, she is more than a month old.
Her nickname is Xiao Baicai.
Give her a smile for your uncle."

Li Yaoting teased the child and said with a smile: "Has the full moon wine been placed?
If not, I will take care of it."
Just as he was talking, Mu Yichen and his wife also arrived.
After exchanging pleasantries, everyone sat on the sofa and listened to Lin Wenjing tell about the experiences of the Battle of Beitai and their experience of escaping death.
Xia Xiaoqing added from time to time.
The thrilling story was exciting.
Out of breath.
"I really want to fight with the little devil with real swords and guns," Li Yaoting said, slapping his thighs, wishing he could go to the battlefield in person.
Mu Yichen said: "Brother Zikun is safe and sound.
This is the greatest good news.
We must inform Chongqing immediately."
Liu Ting said: "Yes, this misunderstanding is too big, but is there any way to contact Chongqing?"
Li Yaoting said: "The war is in turmoil.
There is no postal service and no telegraph service.
The only way is to take a plane to Hong Kong and go back to Chongqing.
Hong Kong is a place for the British.
The route to Shanghai has always been uninterrupted.
There are often gangs who run orders.
I can make arrangements for going back and forth, but Secretary Liu will take the trouble to go there.
Sister Xiaoqing and sister-in-law Wenjing are temporarily living in Shanghai.
The Japanese dare not enter the concession, and it is still safe here. " Talking about the situation in Shanghai, Mu Yichen was full of emotion.
After the Japanese troops entered, people with a little savings in Nanshi and Zhabei flocked to the concession.
The population of the public concession and the French Concession surged to 3.5 million.
The French Concession authorities were afraid that As the war spread, a two-foot-high brick wall was built on the edge of the concession, and barbed wire fences were put up in the public concession, like an island in the ocean.
Outside the concession is the Shanghai Avenue Municipal Government supported by the Japanese.
Kidnapping is rampant, public security is chaotic, and the people are in dire straits.
In contrast, only the concession controlled by Britain, the United States and France is a comfortable place.
The whole of China is in war, but the concession has entered a period of abnormal prosperity.
Even the curfew time has been extended repeatedly, from nine to ten in the evening, to eleven, and finally relaxed to zero o'clock.
The national army has been defeated repeatedly, and the territory The depression and depression of the people's spirit have led to the unprecedented development of the entertainment industry.
The brothels on Fourth Avenue are a thing of the past.
Now there are dance halls everywhere.
In order to make a living, young women among the refugees have to work as dancing girls.
They play and dance every night in the concession, and they are intoxicated.
The population in the concessions increased sharply, and the most lacking thing was food.
Although Jiangnan was a land of fish and rice, the Japanese implemented a food control system.
Rice from Changshu and Taicang was given priority to the imperial army.
As a result, food prices skyrocketed.
Some shrewd businessmen re-exported Thai rice from Hong Kong.
Selling, made a fortune.
The war is far away.
Not only the price of food has increased, but the price of everything has also increased.
The prices of kerosene, soap, medicine, matches, cigarettes, and small hardware have all doubled several times.
The concession has a large population, high consumption, unlimited business opportunities, and many wars.
The former hoarding profiteers made a fortune.

"Everything in my warehouse in Pudong was confiscated by the Japanese without even giving me a receipt.
They are just like bandits," Mu Yichen said angrily.
Just as he was talking, Xiaobaicai cried, and Lin Wenjing hurriedly went to make condensed milk.
Originally, Wang Sanliu hired two country nurses, but they all quit before coming to Shanghai.
Now they can only eat condensed milk.
Suddenly, Lin Wenjing thought of the dire shortage of supplies in the concession, and Lin Wenjing couldn't help but Worried: "There are only two cans of condensed milk, what should I do?"
"Don't worry, the concession is a magical place.
As long as you are willing to pay, you can buy anything.
I'll cover everything from Xiaobaicai's condensed milk."
Li Yaoting said boldly.
Che Qiuling suddenly remembered something: "Boss Li, your children are in such chaos in Shanghai, have you never thought of sending them to Hong Kong?"
Li Yaoting said proudly: "I have thought about it a long time ago.
Both children have been sent to England to study.
After middle school and university, when will China stop fighting and when will we come back?
My wife will also accompany me to study.
I am the only one left in Shanghai.
That's called A comfort.”
After saying that, he took out his pocket watch and looked at the time: "It's getting late.
I'll catch the wind for you.
Let's go to Xinya to eat Cantonese food."
Xinya Restaurant is located on the main road.
Business was not very good in the past, but today I saw that business was actually very good.
The downstairs and the upstairs were all full.
Fortunately, Li Yaoting was so proud that he asked for a private room and ordered dozens of dishes.
During the meeting, we discussed the war situation again.
Everyone was very pessimistic and felt that if Britain and the United States did not intervene militarily, Chongqing would fall sooner or later.
The atmosphere was a bit heavy, and everyone had a bad appetite.
When we left the restaurant after dinner, it was already dark.
There was a lot of lights and neon lights everywhere, and the streets were crowded with people.
It was far more prosperous than before, giving people a strange feeling.
The car stopped at the door of the restaurant.
The driver got out and opened the door.
The bodyguard stood aside and looked around with vigilance.
Li Yaoting stepped forward and opened the door and made a gesture of invitation.
Suddenly, a man rushed out from behind, wearing a suit and top hat, with a striking figure in his hand.
Holding a pistol.
Gunshots rang out, and there were screams everywhere.
Li Yaoting was caught off guard and fell to the ground on the spot.
The bodyguard and driver immediately drew their pistols and fired back.
Xia Xiaoqing hurriedly pushed Lin Wenjing and Liu Ting back into the restaurant, holding a throwing knife in his hand and looking around with sharp eyes.
Look around.
The gunfire soon subsided and the gunman was beaten into a hornet's nest.
Li Yaoting got up from the ground and pulled off the steel plate on his chest, leaving a dent in it.
"Damn it, you don't even look at the almanac if you want to plot against me."
Li Yaoting pulled out his pistol and fired three more shots.

Xia Xiaoqing, Lin Wenjing, and Liu Ting looked at each other.
The concession was not safe.
It seemed that they had to find a way to move to Hong Kong
