Chapter 9 The National Soul (Part 2)
The door of the Commercial Bank General Association was opened. Yang Huimin followed Zhang Boting and walked into the Commercial Bank General Association. When the lights in the Chamber of Commerce hall were on and the light occupied the world again, Yang Huimin raised his head and looked forward in the direction of the soldier.
Suddenly, Yang Huimin was shocked.
It is in this fallen Shanghai, in this exotic flag is flying everywhere, and the invaders are showing off their power, and in the hall of this business association, a huge national flag is quietly hanging on the wall!
Its red base cloth, like the most passionate magma and the blood rushing in blood vessels, its national emblem representing the bright sky and sun, its body that still exudes the smell of dyes, seems to be silently telling everyone who faces it, the perseverance and indomitableness of the Chinese nation.
"The national flag represents the dignity of a country and the pride of soldiers!"
Zhang Baiting affectionately forgot the huge national flag in front of him, and he said in a deep voice: "I stayed in Shanghai to help Xie Jinyuan defend the Sihang Warehouse in the form of foreign aid. This afternoon, I received a call from him. In order to be able to fight for a long time, to be able to boost the hearts of the people in Shanghai, and to show the world the character of Chinese soldiers who would rather die than surrender, he asked us to find a way to send a national flag over and raise it over the Sihang Warehouse surrounded by the enemy! In Shanghai, we have no available soldiers, so I found this business company, and the business company found the Boy Scout Headquarters, and the Boy Scout Headquarters recommended you to me!"
Yang Huimin's eyes stared at the national flag hanging on the wall. She was really crazy.
Zhang Boting suddenly turned his head, stared at Yang Huimin and shouted sternly: "Yang Huimin, tell me, are you willing to take on such a dangerous task to send this national flag to the Sihang Warehouse, and watch it rise above the Sihang Warehouse with your own eyes?!"
Yang Huimin opened her mouth, but at this moment, she suddenly realized that she could no longer speak. She did not pinch her arm anymore, but tears kept pouring out of her eyes, looking at the national flag, staring at the soldiers standing in front of her, with too many stern and hope in her eyes. At this time, Yang Huimin could only nod desperately, for fear that he would misunderstand what he meant.
"You must clearly understand that this is a military mission! To complete such a mission, you must swim through the Suzhou River, which is blocked by the Japanese army and has gunboats constantly patrolling. Once you are discovered by the Japanese army while carrying out the mission, you will be immediately attacked by machine guns or even artillery! Even if you die, no one will collect the body for you, and no one will preside over justice for you because the Japanese army attacks civilians."
Zhang Boting raised his voice, "I'll ask you one last time, Yang Huimin, are you willing to take on such a dangerous task?"
"Thank you, thank you, thank you, I'm so happy, I... so excited... I..." Yang Huimin really couldn't believe that such a difficult and glorious task would be delivered to her. At this time, because of excessive excitement, Yang Huimin really burst into tears, "I thank you for trusting me and handing over such a glorious task to me!"
"This is a national flag that is twelve meters long. If it can really rise above the Sihang Warehouse, you can clearly see it even if it is a thousand meters away! Remember, you must protect it for me!"
Listening to Zhang Boting's voice, Yang Huimin nodded desperately! "I am willing to devote all my strength to this task. Even if I sacrifice, I will protect the national flag. Even if I die, I will send this national flag to the Sihang Warehouse!"
Yang Huimin is really dizzy now. She has started talking nonsense. She is already dead. How can she send the national flag to the Sihang Warehouse?
But after hearing this, Zhang Baiting nodded with satisfaction. Only professional soldiers like Zhang Baiting who are accustomed to life and death understand that in many cases, passionate heroes are only a short distance from the unreasonable madman!
A national flag that is twelve meters long is really big enough. If you fold it layer by layer, you will also have a thick stack.
Zhang Boting held this national flag representing the military soul, national soul, and national soul, and carefully handed it to Yang Huimin. When a pair of soldiers' hands and a pair of scouts' hands were closely connected in the air with this national flag as a bridge and closely connected together, a moving feeling of water melting instantly hit the hearts of the two people.
"Go, if you really have an accident, I will inform your family. Tell them that you are sacrificing for this country and this nation." Zhang Boting said in a deep voice: "We will remember you..."
Zhang Boting didn't continue talking about it. The topic of death is really too heavy for a little girl who is only seventeen years old.
Yang Huimin looked at Zhang Boting, and Zhang Boting also looked at Yang Huimin. When the national flag, which was twelve meters long, was finally delivered to Yang Huimin, perhaps it was a heart-to-heart relationship, and the two of them whispered together: "Take care!"
Watching Yang Huimin and Lei Zhen, the two older children, quickly disappeared into the darkness of the night, Zhang Boting stood quietly at the door, with bitterness on his face. He really didn't want to hand over such a difficult job that was almost like a dancer to a seventeen-year-old girl.
However... the Boy Scouts always recommended Yang Huimin to Zhang Boting, allowing her, a girl who was only seventeen years old, to complete the military operation of presenting flags to Sihang Warehouse. On the one hand, it was indeed because in Shanghai, the soldiers who were still fighting bloody battles with the Japanese army in Sihang Warehouse were no longer able to find any available soldiers. In the other direction, Yang Huimin had a unique advantage in completing this task again.
Yang Huimin is cheerful, Yang Huimin is so chivalrous, Yang Huimin...beautiful! Adding these advantages together makes her look like a luminous body, which can easily attract others' attention and arouse others' favor. At the beginning of the Shanghai War, Yang Huimin has been running around in the British Concession and the Boy Scouts in the British Concession, raising donations for those refugees who flocked to the British Concession and the public Concession.
Over time, most of the soldiers in the British Concession have known such a little girl who is sharp-tongued and can always find ways to pick out a few bills from their pockets.
