    Huang Xinyuan also admired this young man very much and asked him: "Zhang Xian, where is your family from?"

    "Nanjing!"

    "Oh! Who else is there in your family?"

    Zhang Xian lowered his head, and when he raised his head, his eyes were filled with tears.

    Zhang Muli couldn't help but kicked Huang Xinyuan under the table, and at this time, Huang Xinyuan seemed to understand.

    Zhang Xian endured the pain again and said with a smile: "There are not many people in my family anymore. My parents died when the Japanese invaded Nanjing. I don't know if my two brothers are still alive."

    "Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know!" Huang Xinyuan also felt that his question was abrupt.

    "It's nothing, Third Company Commander!" Zhang Xian said politely.

    For a moment, the atmosphere suddenly solidified. Everyone was holding their glasses in silence, and no one spoke.  Yes, in the current national crisis, how many families have been broken up and scattered, and how many compatriots are already in other worlds, but they are still alive and still having banquets and drinking in Taibai Tower. Isn't this a bit inappropriate?

    "If you don't see me, the army of the Han Dynasty will be over, and the weak-headed prisoners will be waiting for long tassels; if you don't see me, the ban will be far away, and the light cavalry from the extreme realm will urge the war clouds! " Zhang Xian sang in a low voice.

    "A man should be in a dangerous career, why should he let a scholar's crown ruin his life? What's more, the country is in danger, and the feathers are competing with each other without stopping! Abandoning my pen of the past, I use my war chest, calling for more than one hundred thousand comrades, and singing war hymns  Qi Congjun" Everyone also sang along.

    The song was deep and deep at first, but as it continued to sing, it turned into sadness, anger and passion.

    The roaring singing passed through the closed doors and windows, and merged into the rushing river like a trickling stream. Passers-by stopped when they heard it, and diners stopped eating when they heard it.

    The door was gently pushed open, and what appeared at the door was an intellectual woman holding a notebook and a pen. This was a girl in her twenties, with a delicate face, no, it should be said to be beautiful.  She has short black hair that reaches her eyebrows, which is very neat, and she also wears a red plastic hairpin; she wears a light blue cheongsam, a white waistcoat, and a pair of black flat heels.  Women's leather shoes, even though they were not high-heeled, made her look slightly taller than women of the same age.  From her attire, one can tell that she must be everyone's lady.

    When the singing stopped, the girl also stood in front of everyone. When Zhang Xian saw the person coming, he couldn't help being shocked, and stood there with his mouth wide open. For a moment, he didn't know what was going on.

    The girl did not look at Zhang Xian. The first thing she saw was Battalion Commander Zhang Muli who was facing the door. She smiled and explained to everyone: "Hello, I am Liu Manli, the special correspondent of the New York Times in Chongqing. Just now  I heard the military songs you sang outside, and they were very nice, so I came here uninvited. Are you from the 11th Division? I want to do an interview with you, but I wonder if that¡¯s a bit presumptuous?"

    "Oh! It's okay, it's okay!" Zhang Muli took the lead and stood up, saying quickly.

    "Manli!" Zhang Xian murmured, stood up, suddenly took a step forward, and ran in front of her. He also forgot that the other party was a girl, grabbed her hands, and shouted excitedly  Saying: "Manli, it's really you!"

    Liu Manli was startled by this sudden move. She didn't understand why the army officer in front of her was so excited. When she saw the officer's face clearly, she also shouted excitedly: "Zhang Xian! You are Zhang Xian! You are Zhang Xian!"  Is it really Zhang Xian?"

    "Yes! I am Zhang Xian!" Zhang Xian answered.

    The two people hugged each other tightly, with bitter tears flowing down at the same time. No one cared that the other party turned out to be of the opposite sex.

    Zhang Muli, Huang Xinyuan, Wang Yuanling and others all looked at each other in confusion, staring blankly at the boy and girl embracing each other in front of them.

    ?******************

    Liu Manli is actually two years older than Zhang Xian, and Zhang Xian went to school earlier because his father is a teacher.  The two have been classmates from elementary school to middle school, and can be said to be childhood sweethearts.  Since their departure in Hong Kong, the two have lost contact with each other. They thought they would never see each other again, but unexpectedly they met in Wanxian by chance.  At this time, they were no longer innocent children, but a boy and a girl who had just begun to fall in love, so they naturally fell in love.

    It turns out that after Liu Manli came to the United States with her father, she stayed for two years and could not let go of her hometown. In fact, she still couldn't let go of Zhang Xian. Unknowingly, she had regarded Zhang Xian as her significant other.  At this time, the New York Times was looking for a reporter in China, so she applied and succeeded.  Of course Liu Yinong also knew what was on his daughter's mind, but the female university couldn't help it either.He supported his daughter in returning to China to participate in the Anti-Japanese War, so he did not stop her. At the same time, he also asked her to inquire about Zhang Xian's whereabouts. He had always been thinking about this young man he had saved.

    Liu Manli returned to her motherland and was active on the front line of the Anti-Japanese War as a reporter. She did not have time to go to Chengdu to find Zhang Xian's whereabouts. During this period, she also went to Yan'an and stayed there for half a year. Of course  , she did not mention this experience to Zhang Xian.  Originally, she was supposed to be based in Chongqing. The reason why she came to Wanxian County was because she had a cousin here.

    Zhang Xian was very surprised. He had known the Liu family for so many years, but he had never heard of any relatives from the Liu family in Sichuan.

    "How do you know about our relatives!" Manli grabbed him and said, "Forget it, I have something I want to ask you to help me with. Can you do it?"

    "What's up?"

    "My cousin actually lives in Wuhan. He fled here because of the fall of Wuhan. He just contacted us a while ago. He is two years older than me and four years older than you. He is also twenty-three this year.  , but nothing has been accomplished. He wants to join your division as a soldier, but he is afraid that you won't want him!" She said and asked, "Can you help me and let him join your division as a soldier?"

    Zhang Xian was stunned for a moment and said: "This is not difficult, but I am going to fight as a soldier. I have already put my own life and death at risk, just because I am afraid that he will have an accident."

    Manli smiled and said: "I told him about this too. He said that he was the only one left anyway, and he would be the same whether alive or dead. Haha, he wants to kill the Japanese just like you."

    "That's right!" Zhang Xian thought for a while and said, "As long as he is not afraid of death, it will be easy. Why doesn't he go to the military academy?"

    Manli smiled bitterly and said, "He originally studied medicine at Tongji University, but he stopped studying after the Anti-Japanese War started. He is not as smart as you. He failed to pass the military academy exam twice."

    ¡°Isn¡¯t it difficult to be a soldier nowadays?¡±

    "He wants to be a soldier who actually fights the Japanese, and doesn't want to be a soldier who harms the people." Man Li said, "Your 11th Division is the soldier who fights the Japanese."

    "That's easy to say. I'll talk to the battalion commander later. It won't be too difficult to ask him to accept a single soldier."

    "There is one more, you have to be prepared!" Man Li said at the same time.

    "what else?"

    "His eyesight is not good. He read too much and had to wear glasses."

    "Haha! Aren't you making things difficult for me?" Zhang Xian didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "He can't even shoot a gun well, how can he kill the enemy?"

    "Who said that people who wear glasses can't shoot?" Manli said angrily: "His marksmanship is accurate, he's not necessarily worse than you."

    "He can shoot?" Zhang Xian asked.

    Manli was stunned for a moment, "That's right!" She explained: "He once joined the Volunteer Army and practiced shooting."

    "So that's it!" Zhang Xian nodded and said, "If that's the case, it would be easy. I'll go find Battalion Commander Zhang. He is currently in charge of the training of new recruits. Ask him to add one more. There shouldn't be any  questionable."

    In this way, Zhang Xian found Zhang Muli, and Zhang Muli agreed.

    Under Man Li's arrangement, Zhang Xian met this cousin. His name was Yin Jian. He was not as cowardly as Man Li said. Although he wore a pair of glasses, he had a straight nose, a broad mouth, and a dignified appearance.  He is a little shorter than Zhang Xian, and his body is a little thinner, but at first glance, he should be a very shrewd person.

    *********************

    Good days always pass quickly. Almost a month has passed. Manli has to go back to Chongqing. She can't always stay in Wanxian County and be with Zhang Xian. And Zhang Xian also has his own things to do, and the daily training is still high.  Intensity.  So Manli told Zhang Xian her address in Chongqing, hoping that he could come to see her when he went to Chongqing in the future. The two met at the same time and exchanged letters frequently.  Of course, Manli is much freer than Zhang Xian. She can find a reason to go to Wanxian to see him.

    Because of Zhang Xian's relationship, Manli also got to know many people in the 11th Division Headquarters. Even the division commander Fu also accepted an exclusive interview with her. After her newsletter about the Yichang Defense War was sent to the newspaper, it made people  The whole world knew the name of the 11th Division of the 18th Army. This article was translated by many domestic newspapers and radio stations, and it became a hot topic for a while.

    Of course, the interests are mutual, and Zhang Xian also became a popular person in the eyes of his teacher, Teacher Fu, because of Manli's relationship.  The New York Times is not a tabloid, but a very influential newspaper in the world. Of course, this reporter did not come to interview their 11th Division by chance. In the national army, there are many people who are related to the 11th Division.  There are many troops in the army, and the only one who can be related to this reporter is Zhang Xian of the 11th Division.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)?This website address: www.hlnovel.com
