sea ​​situation

Lu Ming's thinking was too simple. He was not from a military background, so he didn't understand what the Marine Corps was, especially how well-armed the modern army was.

There is a folk saying "armed to the teeth", which is really missing. From the top of the head to the bottom of the feet, which part is not armed?

With the current strength of the Japanese army stationed in Shanghai, not to mention that the people of the Fuxing Society cannot be sidelined, even if all the garrisons in Shanghai, Suzhou, and Hangzhou are dispatched, they will not be able to eat up this specially trained special force.

If you go through it, maybe you can see it more clearly.

Fifteen years later, in the 15th year of the Republic of China (48), the July 1937 Marco Polo Bridge Incident occurred. In order to resist Japan's tactics of gradually encroaching on the north, the government of the Republic of China wanted to open a second front in the Shanghai area. The city of Shanghai to contain the Japanese forces.

General Zhang Wenbai led 20 elite troops from Shanghai and Nanjing into the urban area of ​​Shanghai, with the purpose of eating up the Marine Corps stationed in Shanghai in one go.

The Japanese Marine Corps only has 3000 to [-] people, but they have long been ready for battle and built the garrison into an indestructible fortress. Under waves of attacks, they managed to hold on to the fortress, and waited until the sea rushed over. rescue force.

Immediately afterwards, the famous "August 1937" Songhu Battle took place in history. From August 8 to November 13, 11, all 12 million elite national troops were invested in the battle, but because of the enemy's superior sea and air forces, the battle Failed to achieve victory.

However, the defense of the Sixing Warehouse and the feat of eight hundred heroes sticking to Shanghai will always be engraved in the hearts of the Chinese people. A generation of famous generals Xie Jinyuan has always been cherished by the people of Shanghai.

The fall of Shanghai was followed by the defense of the capital Nanjing, and soon Nanjing fell. After the two fierce battles, the elite of the national army was completely lost. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the vitality of the national army still failed to fully recover.

Some people think that the "August [-]th" Songhu Battle allowed the Japanese to enter the hinterland of China prematurely, and it was a strategic mistake to go west from Shanghai to Nanjing.

actually not.Ever since the Japanese army changed its strategy of attacking China from north to south to east to west, the final result of the War of Resistance Against Japan was doomed (this is a later story, and I will elaborate on the tragic story of a strong man breaking his wrist in the second part of "Shanghai Wind and Cloud") history).

The time travel has come to an end, and we return to the current scene.

"This matter is not over, I will settle accounts with you later!" Lu Ming roared with bloodshot eyes, then hurriedly carried Ning Xiner to his car, and drove away.

The matter of revenge is not important now, what is important is to send Ning Xiner to treatment as soon as possible.

Of course there is a mental hospital in Shanghai, but Lu Ming did not go to this mental hospital, but to a psychiatric clinic established by a Christian church, referred to as Shijia Clinic.

The doctor in charge of this clinic is from the United States. His name is Stephen. He is very famous in Shanghai and has successfully cured many traumatized patients.

The clinic mainly caters to foreigners living in Shanghai, so the fees are so expensive that ordinary Chinese cannot afford the treatment.

Lu Ming drove to this clinic located in the public concession, and the cars of Ning Zetao and Yuan Mingzhu followed all the way to the clinic.

Lu Ming and Ning Zetao carried the drowsy Ning Xiner into the clinic. Lu Ming told the nurse in English that he was Chinese-American and gave his name.

The nurse at the hospital is a beautiful American girl. Of course, she has heard of Lu Ming. Not many people have met Lu Ming in Shanghai, but the name is quite impressive.

The nurse immediately called Dr. Stephen. He was a middle-aged man in his 40s. Although he was not very old, his hair was already gray and white, which is what the Chinese call Shaobaihead. Maybe he is of this race.

After listening to Lu Ming's introduction, Dr. Stephen immediately understood the news. He just heard the news from the radio in the morning. The patient in front of him was a hostage kidnapped by the Japanese rescued by the US government.

Although I don't know what happened to Ning Xiner, but she was imprisoned in the Japanese Gendarmerie for such a long time, and anything can happen. The Japanese Gendarmerie is synonymous with hell in Shanghai, there is no exit.

Now Ning Xiner is still in a coma, Dr. Stephen can only do a physical examination for her, Yuan Mingzhu can accompany her in, Lu Ming and Ning Zetao can only wait outside for the results.

Lu Ming gritted his teeth, and his heart was full of remorse. He still overestimated the Japanese, thinking that Manchurian agents were more professional and would not torture people at will. Ning Xiner should be under house arrest just like what Yuan Ziyuan encountered.

But seeing Ning Xiner's current appearance, he knew that he was very wrong.

"Brother, I'm sorry." Lu Ming said to Ning Zetao with tears in his eyes.

Ning Zetao didn't shed tears, his tears had been dried up by the anger of hatred, and now he only had two words in his heart: revenge.

"You're not sorry Xin'er, you've done your best, I know, if it wasn't for you, my sister wouldn't be able to come back at all, and this life might not be guaranteed." Ning Zetao said, rubbing his messy hair sadly.

Of course he knew all the things Lu Ming had done for Ning Xiner, and he almost involved himself in it. It's hard to say whether there will be any danger in the future.

Two big men sat on the chairs outside the clinic, one kept crying, and the other clenched his fists and yelled at the sky.

Nurses coming and going looked at them curiously, wondering what happened to them and what they were waiting for.

Not long after, Dr. Stephen walked out of the consulting room and said to Lu Ming and Ning Zetao who came over: "The patient's physical condition is not bad, but he is a little malnourished. It will take a few days to recover. I can't talk to the patient yet, and I can't be sure about it." mental state of the patient."

Doctor Stephen then spoke a few sentences in English naturally.

Ning Zetao breathed a sigh of relief. The doctor's description at least showed that Ning Xin'er hadn't been physically abused or destroyed, but he didn't know whether it was a temporary overstimulation or an irreversible mental trauma.

Lu Ming asked a few questions in English, and Dr. Stephen also answered in English.

Lu Ming translated the doctor's words to Ning Zetao who was looking at him eagerly. The general meaning was that the patient had mild convulsions and his pupils were slightly dilated, but the symptoms were not serious.

At noon, Ning Xiner hadn't woken up yet, Yuan Mingzhu stayed with Ning Xiner in the consulting room all the time, and she vowed to guard Ning Xiner every step of the way.

Since Ning Xiner's accident, Mingzhu has been blaming herself. She felt that if she was not in a hurry to practice oral English with that American that day, she would not have let Ning Xiner go to the bathroom alone. If she went with Ning Xiner, Ning Xiner would won't be caught.

Of course, she didn't expect that all of this was planned in advance. Even if she didn't practice oral English with that American, there would still be other people pestering her, and in order to achieve their goals, they would even bring her some harm.

That night, Ning Xiner was doomed to go to the bathroom alone and was doomed to be kidnapped, this cannot be changed.

A beautiful lady brought beef and vegetable sandwiches and two drinks to Lu Ming and Ning Zetao.

Both of them shook their heads and refused. At this moment, their hearts were full. Before Ning Xiner's condition was confirmed, they couldn't eat anything or drink at all.

Ning Zetao walked up and down inside and outside the hospital from time to time. His excuse was that he wanted to smoke outside, but in fact it was just because there was a constant flow of qi in his body.

He couldn't stay in one place for a long time. If he didn't stand up and shake his body, his whole body would explode and he would go crazy.

After noon, Dai Li came to the clinic with a few entourages, and several leaders of the Cao Gang also drove over with a dozen brothers.

So many people came to the silent psychiatric clinic at once, and the corridors of the clinic were crowded. After the nurse came out, she drove all these people outside without hesitation, not caring what their identities were.

Everyone is honest and has no complaints. They know that when a civilized person arrives in the hospital, no matter how high or low he is, he has to listen to the doctor.

If it is a Chinese hospital, Dai Li may be invited to the office by the director for a cup of tea as Dai Li, but this is a clinic run by Americans, and his identity will not play any role.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Ning Xin'er finally woke up. She saw Mingzhu just after she woke up, and then the two of them hugged each other and cried bitterly, unable to say anything.

Doctor Stephen and the nurses were not impatient, they just quietly observed from the sidelines, which is actually a way of diagnosis and treatment.

"Sister Xin'er, how are you? You are free now. They released you. We can go home. How do you feel now?" Mingzhu asked incoherently.

Ning Xin'er recalled in a daze, as if she couldn't remember anything, suddenly she seemed to think of something, and then suddenly she hugged her head and shouted: "Don't, don't, don't."

Then she violently tore her hair and clothes, Mingzhu was suddenly frightened and at a loss, she could only hug Ning Xiner as hard as she could, and kept calling her name softly.

Although the nurses were all very delicate, they came over like strong men and held Ning Xiner firmly, forcing her to remain calm.
