Chapter 231 The War Begins, Beliefs Change
The atmosphere in the city became increasingly tense, and the smoke of war seemed to be in the air.
Chen Shen and Yu Manli did not dare to slack off at all. They knew that every detail was related to the success or failure of the mission and the lives of countless people.
On the other side, Li Xiaonan’s base was located in the crucial Third War Zone.
The information conveyed by Chen Shen was undoubtedly as precious as charcoal in the cold winter to them.
Li Xiaonan tightly held the letter he had just received, his heart filled with deep guilt towards Chen Shen.
She looked up at the sky. Planes roared past one after another, and bombs seemed to be about to fall at any time. However, there was no complaint or retreat in her eyes.
The female comrades in the base area behind enemy lines were all very friendly, and the food they cooked was extremely delicious, leaving a lingering aftertaste, but at the moment she had no intention of lingering on it.
The information sent by Chen Shen has been successfully passed on to the leaders of the Third War Zone through her hands, and tonight, a fierce battle is about to begin.
Li Xiaonan felt as nervous as if there was a lively rabbit in his heart.
She had studied the intelligence carefully. The enemy's number was far more than twice her own. Not only were they well-armed, but they were also well-trained.
She looked up at the sky again, her mind constantly imagining the intensity and cruelty of tonight's battle, her brows furrowed in worry.
Just then, Comrade Xiao Liu came jogging over, holding the food steadily in his hands, and shouted loudly.
"Comrade Xiao Li, I finally found you. We need to eat dinner early tonight, as the battle tonight is likely to be quite intense."
Li Xiaonan quickly agreed and took the food. After taking a few quick bites, he stuffed the bowl and chopsticks back to Xiao Liu. Then he quickly ran towards the hospital.
Along the way, her thoughts were like flying catkins, disorganized. She was worried about the upcoming fierce battle, but also felt extremely determined that she could contribute to this battle.
When we arrived at the hospital, it was already a busy and tense scene.
Li Xiaonan quickly integrated into the team and swiftly helped organize medical supplies, carefully preparing bandages and various medicines.
The other female comrades also looked nervous, but their hands were not at all chaotic. They all knew that tonight was destined to be a thrilling battle.
"Xiaonan, please carefully count the medicines here."
An older sister raised her voice and shouted.
Li Xiaonan responded quickly.
"it is good!"
Time passed by quietly like the sand in an hourglass, and the atmosphere in the hospital became increasingly solemn and depressing.
Everyone held their breath, anxiously awaiting any news from the front line. Everyone's heartbeat seemed to be closely synchronized with the fierce battle that was about to break out.
Suddenly, there was a faint sound of gunfire outside. Everyone's heart instantly rose to their throat and their breathing became rapid.
The battle officially started, and batches of wounded were sent to the hospital one after another.
Li Xiaonan and other comrades did not hesitate and immediately plunged into the extremely tense rescue work.
"Quick, stop the bleeding!"
"Bandages are urgently needed here!"
The shouts came one after another, intertwined with each other. Li Xiaonan's forehead was covered with dense beads of sweat, but her hands were like wound-up springs, never stopping for a moment.
As time slowly passed, more and more wounded people came in, but no one ever gave up.
While Li Xiaonan was busy, he kept encouraging his comrades around him and secretly cheering himself up.
"We must grit our teeth and hold on. The soldiers are still fighting bravely on the front lines!"
However, what is worrying is that the hospital began to run out of medicines, and the situation became extremely critical.
"What should I do? I'm out of anti-inflammatory medicine!"
Someone shouted anxiously.
Li Xiaonan gritted his teeth and looked determined.
"Everyone, look carefully, there must be another way!"
Just when everyone was almost in despair, a comrade sweating profusely brought a batch of emergency medicines.
It turned out that this was the money that the people in the rear spontaneously organized and raised with great effort. This unexpected surprise rekindled the flame of hope for everyone.
The battle is still going on fiercely, and the rescue work in the hospital has never stopped for a moment.
Li Xiaonan was so tired that her whole body felt like it was falling apart and she almost collapsed to the ground, but she still stubbornly stayed at her post and never retreated.
After an unknown amount of time, the sound of gunfire gradually became sparse, and everyone was anxiously awaiting the news of victory.
Finally, a wounded soldier brought good news from the front line. The enemy began to retreat in a panic, and the Third War Zone achieved a major stage victory!
Suddenly, deafening cheers rang out in the hospital, and a smile of relief and satisfaction slowly appeared on Li Xiaonan's exhausted face.
At night, they looked at the starry sky, their hearts filled with expectations for the future and desire for victory.
Thanks to the efforts of Chen Shen, Yu Manli and many comrades, the Third War Zone successfully struck the enemy and recaptured the occupied city.
Their efforts brought the dawn of victory and took an important step forward for the revolutionary cause.
When the news of victory came, Chen Shen and Yu Manli hugged each other and cried. They knew that this was the result of countless sacrifices and efforts...
Li Xiaonan finally had a moment of free time to carefully examine the letter in his hand.
Every word Chen Shen wrote in the letter made her feel as if her heart had been overturned, with all kinds of feelings intertwined.
Chen Shen said in the letter that he strongly supported her idea, but she should at least inform him and give him a chance to see her off. Although they had said goodbye outside Shanghai, he was completely unaware of it.
When Li Xiaonan read this, he couldn't help but feel that Chen Shen had a childish temper. He rubbed his swollen temples helplessly and felt a headache.
She continued reading, and Chen Shen mentioned that after all the Tokyo residents in Shanghai were driven out, he, Yu Manli, and the children in the orphanage would go behind enemy lines to find her, and then they would work together and live a peaceful life without being disturbed.
Li Xiaonan couldn't help but recall the past when he was also looking forward to such a peaceful life.
But now, after going through all that, her thoughts have changed dramatically.
Looking at the planes flying in the sky, she deeply understood that national construction was imminent.
Today, there are only a handful of our own planes in the sky, and almost everywhere we look are enemy fighter planes. After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the country urgently needs to have a strong air force to restore national prestige.
A weak country has no diplomacy. Now our country’s economy and technology are far behind. What can we use to communicate with other countries on an equal footing?
We must never repeat the Qing Dynasty's path of closing the country to the outside world.
