"Yeah, I'm so sorry."
Meng Shaoyuan sighed.
The massacre begins at this moment!
All the people who came in with "Takenori Akagi" had guns in their hands.
No one, including Xiao Juzhengshu, was on guard.
Do it inside and outside the house at the same time.
The gunfire sounded like firecrackers.
The smell of blood filled the air.
Tragic, but short-lived.
The gunfire didn't last long before it stopped.
Everything seemed to be still there.
Bodies were lying scattered around the house.
Qu Hualiang is not dead yet.
The leader of the Southeast Supervision Group squatted there with his head in his hands, shivering.
"Hey!"
Meng Shaoyuan called him.
Qu Hualiang trembled and raised his head.
"Go out and be on guard."
Meng Shaoyuan gave the order, and he and Qu Hualiang were the only two people left alive in the room.
"I came to save you."
Meng Shaoyuan lifted up a stool that had fallen on the ground, sat down, and sat opposite Qu Hualiang:
"But when I found out you had rebelled, I was angry, but also a little happy."
happy?
Qu Hualiang quietly raised his head, looking confused.
Meng Shaoyuan sighed: "Because if you didn't rebel, I would not only save you, but also take you out of Suzhou and bring you to Shanghai. Then I can imagine the faces of you people. But now these questions no longer exist .”
"I can't help it, I can't help it!"
Qu Hualiang knelt down on the ground with a pop: "I'm afraid of death, I'm cowardly, but I want to live, I want to live. There's nothing wrong with wanting to live."
"There is nothing wrong with wanting to live." Meng Shaoyuan stared at him: "But Sun Jinru also wants to live, and Qi Defeng also wants to live. Because of you, they can't live. If I kill you, kill four Japanese, I will definitely Sun Jinru and Qi Defeng had no chance of surviving due to the Japanese retaliation, but I couldn't save them. It was all caused by you, right?"
Qu Hualiang kowtowed: "Let me go, let me go. I have people in the National Government. I will promote you and transfer you to the rear. I will give you whatever you want."
"In the front, millions of soldiers are fighting bloody battles. Why are there so many morons in the back?"
Meng Shaoyuan stood up, walked to Qu Hualiang, and put the gun on his head: "I let you live until now, just to see with my own eyes what kind of person you are."
Before pulling the trigger, Meng Shaoyuan said the last words Qu Hualiang heard in his life:
"People can live, but they can't live like dogs!"
…
The Nationalist Government's Southeast Supervision Group was completely destroyed.
Meng Shaoyuan did not rescue them, but he tried his best to kill these eight traitors.
Afterwards, he truthfully reported to his superiors.
However, something happened that he never expected.
More than a month later, Chongqing issued an official document.
The official document stated that the Southeast Supervision Team entered Suzhou and led a riot. The riot failed. Six members of the Southeast Supervision Team died for their country, and Qu Hualiang and another team member were captured.
They preferred death to surrender under the threats and inducements of the Japanese invaders and were tortured, and were eventually killed by the Japanese army.
Also killed at the same time were Qi Defeng of the military commander and Sun Jinru of the central commander.
That day, after Meng Shaoyuan saw the official document, he sat there blankly without saying a word.
Wu Jingyi was worried that something would happen to him: "They are all senior government officials. If they rebel collectively..."
"I know that would be a serious blow to the government's credibility."
Meng Shaoyuan smiled bitterly: "So they will not rebel. Senior government officials will not rebel. They have become martyrs, martyrs like Sun Jinru and Qi Defeng. I was thinking just now that many, many years later, the truth will be buried forever. Later generations came to their tombs and said, look, these are the heroes who sacrificed their lives for the independence and freedom of the Chinese nation. No one will ever know that they are just a bunch of dogs, a bunch of despicable traitors."
His voice even became a little trembling: "Everyone was happy. The top officials covered up the truth, so I killed eight senior government officials, and no one would come to hold them accountable. Mr. Dai also knew what was going on, and I was arrested again." The protection was successful. But I know here, I know what the truth is, I know who is the hero and who is the coward!"
This is Meng Shaoyuan's sorrow.
This is a tragedy that he has no way to solve!
…
That day, not only in Xinfu, but also in various places in Suzhou city, gunfire rang out at the same time.
Known as the "Suzhou Riot" in history!
At 6 p.m., various agencies including the tax bureau, police station, and water conservancy bureau were attacked.
At this time, Japan's troops were weak and could only retreat and wait for reinforcements.
Moriki Ichiro was short of troops and did not know the strength of the opponent, so he could only order to hold on.
In the direction of Suzhou's west city gate, the gunfire was the most violent.
Here, there are only two Japanese soldiers and four puppet soldiers.
The nineteen-man combat detachment commanded by Xie Boshen launched a storm attack with absolutely superior strength.
At 6:05, Xie Boxen captured the west gate of Suzhou.
He lowered the Japanese flag, took out a flag from his arms, and slowly raised it.
That is:
The sky is blue and the sun is red!
On November 19, 1937, Suzhou fell.
On January 18, 1940, the Chinese flag was raised again in Suzhou!
Suzhou fell, Shanghai fell, and Nanjing fell.
But China's resistance has never stopped.
Fighting to the last soldier, we must fight to the death for the independence and freedom of the people and the nation!
China is fulfilling this sonorous oath!
…
"Report, I have captured the west city gate!"
"Thanks for your hard work!"
Meng Shaoyuan looked up and saw the national flag. For a moment, he felt like crying!
He composed himself: "Get ready to retreat!"
"yes!"
Xie Boxen gave a tentative sigh:
"Where's the flag?"
"Let it stay here!"
Meng Shaoyuan took a deep breath: "At least tell the people in Suzhou that we have never given up on this city!"
…
After dawn, some brave Suzhou people walked out of their homes.
Being relatively close to the West City Gate, you can see the national flag fluttering in the wind at a glance!
They wanted to cheer, but they could only keep the cheer deep in their hearts.
They are still there!
The government has not abandoned Suzhou!
The national army is still fighting!
The people looked around and then quickly bowed to the national flag!
The national flag, which had been flying all night, was pulled down by the Japanese on the morning of January 19.
But this flag will always exist in the hearts of Suzhou people.
Everyone in Suzhou is quietly talking about what happened that night.
Even though they know nothing of the truth.
But they know that the presence of this flag is enough.
The person who raised this flag is called Xie Boshen.
In 1944, Xie Boshen was killed in action.
Before he died, he was always smiling. He said to the people around him:
"When I get the chance, I can tell my family that I was the one who raised the flag that day."
That day, the person who raised this flag called:
Thanks Boshen!
