Chongqing, Command.

Early in the morning, Principal Chang came to the commander-in-chief accompanied by Lin Wei, the director of the attendant's office.

At this time, except for Bai Chongbei, who acted as the commander-in-chief of the Fifth War Zone, who had left Chongqing, all senior generals such as Chen Shi, He Yingpei, and Xu Yongsheng were present.

Seeing Principal Chang come in, a group of senior generals stood attentively and saluted.

Principal Chang waved his hand to signal everyone to be at will, then walked over and stood by the sand table.

Liu Sheng immediately reported: "Principal, as of now, the core urban areas of Hankou and Hanyang are still under the control of our army, and the Japanese army has not completed a full-scale occupation!"

Principal Chang nodded gently, but a hint of undetectable excitement flashed deep in his eyes.

The troops of the Wuhan Garrison District were far beyond his expectations in such a difficult situation. However, he hoped that the Wuhan Garrison District could continue to persevere!

At this time, a staff officer came in to report: "Director, the time has come!"

Liu Sheng looked up at the clock on the wall and said, "Open the radio!"

Wen Yingxing then stepped forward and turned on the radio placed on the vertical cabinet in the corner of the wall.

The low and sad singing immediately sounded in the combat hall, saying a heartfelt word.

However, the singer has changed people, and the singing is obviously not as good as yesterday. Whether it is singing voice or pitch, it is not on the same level as yesterday's choir!

When Principal Chang was confused, his singing suddenly stopped.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Bing's slightly hoarse voice rang: "The soldiers of the Wuhan Garrison District and listeners from all over China, I believe you have heard that the chorus that sings 'Tell me what I meant' just now was not the chorus that I sang yesterday. Yes, the singer just now was the 18 veterans I specially invited from the 367th Brigade!"

"No matter how well the song is written, it is just a song after all. What we prefer to listen to is the voice of the veterans!"

"So, I specially invited eighteen veterans from the 367th Brigade to tell us what I said in my heart!"

"Company Commander Yang, Company Commander Yu, Company Commander Xiang, comrades from brothers, radio, and listeners before the radio."

After a moment of pause, low and hoarse voices sounded.

"Hello everyone, my name is Yang Jinqiu, the company commander of the 2nd Company, 1st Battalion, 1st Regiment, 367th Brigade of the National Revolutionary Army."

"Long guy, my name is Yu Liheng, the company commander of the 1st Company of the 5th Battalion, 2nd Regiment, 367th Brigade of the National Revolutionary Army."

"Hello everyone, my name is Xiang Guanying, the company commander of the 3rd Battalion, 2nd Regiment, 367th Brigade of the National Revolutionary Army."

...

"Hello everyone, my name is Chen Yumen, a soldier of the 1st Battalion, 1st Battalion, 1st Regiment, 367th Brigade of the National Revolutionary Army."

After greeting, Xiao Bing's voice sounded again and said to Yang Jinqiu: "Company Commander Yang, please say a few words first."

After Xiao Bing finished speaking, he fell into a long silence on the radio, and Yang Jinqiu had not spoken for a long time.

A depressing atmosphere began to spread in the combat room of the commander-in-chief, and Principal Chang also felt a heavy heart in his heart, like a big stone pressed down.

After a while, Xiao Bing said, "Captain Yang, don't be scruples, you can say anything casually."

"Okay." Yang Jinqiu sighed softly and said, "Then, I'll say a few words to my old mother here. I don't know when this battle will be over, and I don't know if I can still see the sun tomorrow alive. These words are just for my old mother's last words."

Immediately afterwards, a "Mom" sounded from the radio!

With a word of mom, the entire combat hall suddenly became silent like death!

Principal Chang's expression also became unprecedentedly solemn and solemn!

...

In Jiangxi, a small mountain village called Chashuping, Guixi County.

Accompanied by staff from the local county office, two officers knocked on the gate of a small courtyard at the entrance of the village.

In the yard, an old woman with white hair was spinning cloth. When she saw the gate of the yard was pushed open, the old woman turned her head and looked quietly at the strangers walking in with her turbid eyes.

It seemed as if he had a premonition, the old woman just watched quietly without making a sound.

Two officers walked up to the old woman and squatted down, and one of them took out the radio.

Time was pinched very accurately. As soon as the radio turned on, Yang Jinqiu's "Mother" sounded inside!

Hearing this mom, the old woman's tears immediately flowed down, because she had already seen from her voice that this was her youngest son she missed day and night!

After going to Nanjing to report to the Central Military Academy two years ago, I have never seen him again!

On the radio, Yang Jinqiu's voice became a little choked after calling out to his mother.

Yang Jinqiu choked and said, "Mom, I haven't seen you for more than two years. Are you in good health?"

"Mom, my son is now the company commander. He is fighting the Japanese in Wuhan. The Japanese attack is very fierce and the troops are consumed a lot. Soon his son will go back to the battlefield and fight against the Japanese."

"This time I go up, I'm afraid it's hard to survive again."

"Mom, I'm not filial. I'm afraid I can't be filial to you in this life."

"But fortunately, there is a big brother in your family. A hundred years later, you will have a big brother to take care of you for your old age!"

"Brother, brother! I'll ask you. During the holidays, don't forget to knock on my mother a few more times, which is also a little filial piety to her."

"After I die, there should be a pension."

"It won't be too much, it's only thirty or fifty yuan."

"With this money, go to Fushoulou, the county town to buy some pastries for my mother."

"She has been suffering for a lifetime and has never tasted pastries."

"If the Japanese attacked Guixi, they would use the remaining money as travel expenses and quickly take their mother to the southwest. Now it is only the southwest but it is still safe."

Yang Jinqiu's words were completely explaining the funeral.

Hearing this, the old woman could no longer hold it back and burst into tears.

The two officers and Guixi accompanying staff who came from afar were also feeling sorry for each other.

The son, who was pregnant for ten months and raised with great difficulty, was now telling her about his funeral on the radio. Which mother in the world can bear such a thing?

At this time, an officer asked, "Where is Company Commander Yang's brother? Are you at home?"

Hearing this, the old woman started crying sadly, and she cried so hard that she couldn't make a sound.

The staff of Guixi County Office said sadly: "Where are there any brothers? Six months ago, Company Commander Yang's brother had also enlisted in the army and joined the 74th Army, and..."

The officer looked miserable when he heard this and said anxiously: "And what's wrong?"

The staff sighed and said, "More than three months ago, Okamura Yanshi's 11th Army attacked Xiushui. The 74th Army where Company Chief Yang's brother was ordered to rush to help. He was shot several times in a battle and had already sacrificed his life for the country!"
