Don’t they know this? I think they know it, but they still gritted their teeth and climbed forward step by step. They did this just to prove one thing: that is, the Chinese will not surrender, the Chinese soldiers will not admit defeat, and we will fight to the end even if we only have the last breath left!

Chapter 39: The feint attack [bsp;   It was another urgent march for more than an hour. When we arrived at Haiguan Temple, the sky was getting darker. Then we were arranged to rest in a spacious synagogue. Before we could sit down and take a breath, many people came up to bring water and food.

"Little brother! Are you hungry!" An old man with wrinkles and a baseball cap handed me a lunch box and said, "Come on the hot food, eat as much as you can fight the Japanese when you are full!"

I took the lunch box with some fear and asked in confusion: "Members, how do you... know we will come?"

"How could we know you're coming!" The old man looked at me with a smile on his face, as if he was looking at his own son.

"Then... why have you all prepared the meal?" I was even more confused when I heard this.

"Hi!" The old man looked at me kindly and replied indifferently: "It's time for dinner, right? Are you busy fighting the Japanese? Can we still make you hungry? Little brother, we won't fight the Japanese, so we will leave the rear to us! Don't worry, even if we are hungry, we won't let you have no food..."

"That's it!" A young man next to him answered, "Sir, I know that you fight the Japanese and our compatriots in Tianjin are fully supporting you! The workers, farmers, drivers... are all mobilized. It can be said that they want people to have cars and cars. We are all Chinese, so of course we have to do our best!"

I know what they said is true, because we have already seen it on the way back when we came. The streets are filled with citizens who help carry the wounded, civilian trucks and buses everywhere. Drivers braved bombs from Japanese planes and rushed to move ammunition and firearms to their cars to the front line!

As I thought about it, my mood soon became heavier again, because I was very clear that when Peking was lost, Tianjin became a place to welcome book friends to read. The latest, fastest and most popular serial works are all here!
