Chapter 146 Bloody Clouds
Chapter 146 Bloody Clouds
"Boom!"
Outside the window of Jiayuan Pharmaceutical's R&D room, the sound of explosion was heard again.
The roar was deafening, flames shot up into the sky, and instantly lit up half the sky red.
"Damn Japs!" Jiang Shiyuan cursed inwardly, clenched his fists, his heart filled with anger and worry.
"Jingle Bell……"
The phone rang again and Jiang Shiyuan quickly picked it up.
"Hello, who is it?"
"Xiaoyuan, it's me, Lansheng." Fang Lansheng's slightly hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone.
Jiang Shiyuan asked anxiously, "Lan Sheng, are you okay? Where are you? It seems like you haven't returned to Wanguo Apartment in the past few days..."
Fang Lansheng said solemnly, "I have been performing in major theaters in the International Settlement these days to raise funds for the anti-Japanese fighters in Shanghai and to boost the confidence of the general public."
Hearing this, Jiang Shiyuan let out a long sigh and said, "I'm glad you're okay. Everything is fine here. You don't have to worry."
Fang Lansheng has been staying at the Lanhu Opera House these days. He said with concern, "Xiaoyuan, the situation is getting more and more chaotic now. Even in the concession, there is no guarantee of absolute safety."
"I read in the newspapers that due to the influx of some unidentified refugees, vicious looting and vandalism occurred in several places."
"Although you are armed, you must also be careful when commuting to and from get off work."
"If possible, you should go back to Jiang Mansion to avoid the limelight!"
"No, I can't leave!" Jiang Shiyuan refused flatly.
"The frontline is in urgent need of penicillin and various medicines. Jiayuan Pharmaceutical is the largest pharmaceutical factory in Shanghai. I must stay and work with the workers to provide support to the soldiers on the front line!"
"But..." Fang Lansheng hesitated to speak.
"Stop talking, Lan Sheng. I've made up my mind. You don't need to persuade me anymore."
Jiang Shiyuan's tone was firm and left no room for doubt.
"Don't worry, I will take good care of myself."
"Lan Sheng, my skills and reconnaissance abilities are not inferior to yours!"
"Alas..." Fang Lansheng knew Jiang Shiyuan's stubborn temper and could only sigh helplessly.
"Then you must promise me that you will be careful and stay safe."
"I certainly will, and so will you."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Shiyuan put down the receiver and looked out the window with a determined look.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The deafening sound of explosions was heard again, and Jiang Shiyuan knew that it was Japanese planes bombing the civilian areas and military facilities in the Chinese area of Shanghai.
"Little devils, we will beat you back home soon!"
"I will work hard to speed up the victory of the anti-Japanese war even if I die!"
Jiang Shiyuan gritted his teeth, his heart filled with hatred and rage, as well as firm determination.
At the same time, at the Consulate General in the French Concession, an emergency meeting on the Sino-Japanese War was being held.
"boom!"
Mr. Smith, the Consul General of the United States in Shanghai, slammed a document on the table with a grim face.
"Everyone, this is what the Japanese call a 'peaceful solution'!"
"On the one hand, they pretended to negotiate with us, but on the other hand, they brazenly launched an attack on Shanghai!"
"This is a blatant violation of international conventions and a serious provocation to world peace!"
"We can't just sit there and do nothing!"
"Mr. Smith is right!" Mr. Renault, Consul General of the Romantic Country in Shanghai, stood up indignantly.
"The barbaric behavior of the Japanese has seriously threatened our interests in Shanghai."
"We must unite and put pressure on Japan to force them to immediately cease fire and withdraw from Shanghai!"
"Mr. Renault, you and I both know that it would be difficult to make the Japanese surrender with the strength of our three countries alone."
Mr. Johnson, the Consul General of the United States in Shanghai, who had been silent all this time, spoke slowly.
"We need to unite international public opinion and put pressure on Japan to force them to return to the negotiation table."
"Mr. Johnson has a point, but..." Mr. Renault looked embarrassed.
"The international situation is complicated now, and other countries may not be willing to offend Japan for China."
"At this point, all we can do is try our best," said Mr. Smith with a sigh.
"I will report this matter to the country immediately and ask the government to take action as soon as possible."
"Me too." Mr. Reynolds and Mr. Johnson also expressed their views.
However, their efforts were doomed to be in vain.
In that era of the survival of the fittest, the so-called "international justice" and "world peace" were nothing more than toys in the hands of powerful countries.
Faced with Japan's invasion, the Western powers chose silence and compromise.
They only care about their own interests in China and turn a blind eye to the suffering of China.
Shanghai, the shining pearl of the Far East, was ruthlessly crushed by the iron hooves of the Japanese pirates.
At this moment, an even more brutal battle was taking place over Shanghai.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Amid the deafening explosions, one Chinese fighter plane after another fell from the sky, emitting billowing smoke and trailing long tongues of flame.
"Da da da……"
The machine gun fire from the Japanese fighter planes was like the scythe of the god of death, reaping the young lives of the Chinese pilots.
"Captain! Be careful!"
A Japanese fighter plane suddenly rushed out from the side and opened fire crazily at the plane of Gao Hang, the captain of the third flight squadron of the Chinese Air Force.
"Da da da……"
The dense bullets instantly turned the cockpit of Gao Hang's plane into a sieve.
"what……"
Gao Hang in the plane screamed, and blood instantly dyed the cockpit red.
"Captain Gao!"
The wingman pilot Li Haiwen was filled with grief and anger. He pulled the joystick desperately, wanting to rush up to avenge his captain.
"Hawen! Don't be impulsive! Retreat quickly!" Gao Hang's weak voice came from the headset.
"team leader……"
"Follow the order! This is my last order..."
"Yes!" Li Haiwen pulled up the fighter plane with tears in his eyes and broke out of the siege.
"Little devils, even if I die, I will take you with me!"
Gao Hang endured the severe pain and controlled the severely damaged fighter plane, rushing towards the Japanese fighter plane group.
"boom--"
With a loud bang, Gao Hang's plane turned into a huge fireball and bloomed in the air.
"Captain!" Li Haiwen was heartbroken and in tears.
He knew that the captain chose to sacrifice himself in order to cover his retreat.
"Captain, I will definitely avenge you!"
Li Haiwen piloted his fighter plane and rushed towards the Japanese fighter plane group without hesitation.
He knew that what awaited him might very well be the same fate as the captain.
But he has no regrets.
Because he is a glorious Chinese soldier!
In order to defend his motherland, he is willing to give everything, even his life!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Huge explosions continued to sound in the sky.
One after another, Japanese fighter planes turned into fireballs and fell from the sky.
The blood finally dyed the clouds in the sky red.
This is a tragic epic belonging to the Chinese soldiers!
It is also the spirit of resistance of the Chinese nation!
