Rebirth: Outstanding

Laoguang Street, Ju Kei Wan, East District of Hong Kong Island.

The rainstorm washed the Cantonese-style arcades all over the street, rushed out from the drainage outlets of the arcades, rushed into the streets unscrupulously, and merged with other rainwater.

Kang Lixiu, with his hair slightly messy and bloodshot eyes, stood in front of the store's window on the corner of the street, watching the storm outside, and behind him was the fifteen or sixteen-year-old man with a beautiful appearance and selling orchids on the street. The girl, at this moment, was walking over with a bowl of hot soup: "Mr. Kang, it's cold, and my grandma and I cooked hot soup. Drink some to get rid of moisture?"

Kang Lixiu turned around and looked at the girl, squeezing a smile on his haggard face: "Thank you, Di, I'm fine. When your eldest brother and them return, let them drink to drive away the cold."

After speaking, Kang Lixiu continued to withdraw his gaze and looked outside, his eyes hot and full of desire.

As if sensing his gaze, a flash of lightning flashed across the sky. With the light bursting out of the lightning, Conglixiu saw more than a dozen people on the street in the distance walking towards the store in the direction of the street full of rain. .

In the next second, the picture before him turned to pitch black again.

When Kang Lixiu saw the figure, he lifted his spirits, turned around quickly, let the girl walk towards the door in strides, opened the store door of the store, and stood under the wind and rain corridor of the arcade. Block out the storm and let the rain drop towards him.

The girl hurriedly followed. The hot soup in her hand was now replaced by a bamboo handle umbrella. She stretched her feet to help Kang Lixiu shelter from the wind and rain. After Kang Lixiu noticed it, she turned around and smiled at the girl. Let me do it."

Taking the umbrella, Kang Lixiu held it by himself, and raised the umbrella as much as possible above the girl's head. Most of his body was drenched in the rain. The girl's face was a little shy, and she moved quietly to stand beside Kang Lixiu.

In Kang Lixiu's bloodshot eyes were the stormy night of Hong Kong, while in the girl's eyes, there was only Kang Lixiu alone.

On Laoguang Street, more than a dozen figures in vinyl raincoats hid under the wind and rain corridor along the street. The leading figure waved their hands. A dozen people immediately dispersed along the street towards each house, and only the leading one greeted him. Kang Rixiu and the girl walked in the direction.

"Mr. Kang." The visitor put down his rain cap and revealed a heroic face. At the age of thirty-two or three, he may have lived on the beach for a long time, with the vicissitudes of rust on his face.

"Brother Yaofu, come in quickly, it's hard work!" Kang Lixiu hurriedly stepped away and motioned for the man to enter the house.

At this time, the girl withdrew her gaze from Kang Lixiu, and just saw her brother: "Fifth brother, are you back?"

Zhen Yaofu seemed to have taken offense to his sister Zhen Liudi's performance, sighed, and followed Kang Lixiu into the room.

Taking off the dripping raincoat, he pulled off the old towel hung on the sling of the room and wiped the rain off his face. Zhen Yaofu casually said to Kang Lixiu, "Don't worry, people are left to guard day and night. Things are here. I can’t guarantee other places in Hong Kong, but no one will find out when we get to Nunji Bay. Even if someone finds out, as long as we are not dead, we guarantee that we won’t let things go on business trips."

Kang Lixiu nodded solemnly, "I believe, I believe."

Laoguang Street in Nunjiwan, the street name already shows where the residents of this street come from. Naturally, they come from the provincial capital Guangzhou. When Hong Kong was a small fishing village, people from Guangzhou came here to fish for a living, except for those in the New Territories. Aboriginal people, outsiders in the area around Ngu Ji Wan, can definitely claim to be Hong Kong people to the outside world.

However, Nunji Bay was only a gathering place for fishermen in Guangzhou. It has really developed from a gathering place for fishermen and poor people to the present situation. It was after the end of 1938. At the end of March 8th, the provincial capital Guangzhou fell, and a large number of Guangzhou people fled to Hong Kong. , Settled here, all walks of life, all kinds of Cantonese, have turned Nunjiwan from a simple big fishing market into a small Guangzhou city independent of the east end of Hong Kong Island, and because a large number of Guangzhou people have come to Hong Kong for a short time, so They live in a low-key life, and they rarely fight for business with other Hong Kong locals. Really speaking, most of the people in Nunjiwan live more than the best. The small business makes the small rich.

In addition to the Guangzhou people from all walks of life, there are also a group of soldiers who are more admirable than the Kuomintang soldiers in Diaojingling. The number is not large, only about one or two hundred. They were in front of the Japanese South China dispatched army in March 8th. Some of the officers and soldiers of the 458th Brigade, Fifty-third Division of the Kuomintang’s 63rd Army, who had run out of ammunition and food, were different from the soldiers in Diaojingling who fled to Hong Kong after the defeat of the Civil War. After Wu Tiecheng's group of people fled without a fight, Zhen Yaofu, who was in front of Kang Lixiu, and Zhen Yaofu's fourth brother, Zhen Yaodong, who died in the fall of Hong Kong, led them to be discouraged and unwilling to sell their lives for the Kuomintang. .

These soldiers are the true children of Southern Guangdong. At the beginning, the army of the old Cantonese army was in the northern expedition. A large number of other Cantonese troops were sent to participate in the Wuhan battle because of tough combat. In addition, Jiang Zhongzheng's strategic judgment failed. Guangdong has added a large number of recruits with no combat experience, and only a few brigades are left who are veterans of the Guangdong army.

The Japanese army went south, and other national troops collapsed at the battle. Only these native children from Nanyue, from officers to soldiers, never retreated. The five brothers of the Zhen family were all from Guangzhou and all joined the army. Jiang Wutang, served under the commander of the 458th Brigade Zhong Xiufeng. Zhong Xiufeng once proudly introduced his five Zhen family brothers to outsiders, calling his five Zhen family five brothers general five tigers. Later, this nickname was in the army. It was spread from the inside, and the name of the five brothers of the Zhen family and the five tigers was widely spread.

The big tiger Zhen Yaohua, the head of the 915th regiment of the 458th brigade, was ordered to chase from Dongguan after hearing the news of the Japanese army’s invasion of Guangzhou. They must stop the Japanese infantry before they reach Guangzhou to ensure that Guangzhou City has enough time to prepare. Zhen Yaohua led troops to rush day and night and successfully surpassed the Japanese infantry in the vicinity of Zengcheng. The two sides engaged in an encounter. The Japanese army sent a large number of bombers and artillery to attack. The 915th regiment faced the overwhelming artillery fire and defended the passage overnight. The whole regiment was killed. Ninety percent, no one retreated. The regiment leader Zhen Yaohua died as a martyr, but before his death, he was successfully dragged to the arrival of the 916 Regiment and succeeded the 915 Regiment to continue to block the Japanese army.

The Second Tiger Zhen Yaoguo, the deputy commander of the 916th Regiment of the 458th Brigade, the Great Tiger died in less than half an hour, and the 915th Regiment of the Second Tiger Zhen Yaoguo arrived at the Zengcheng Passage and continued to fight the Japanese army, even too late to clean up the Tiger and other fellows One day and night later, the corpse of the robe, the 916th regiment suffered 70% casualties. The head of the regiment was seriously injured and took off the battlefield. The second tiger Zhen Yaoguo took over the command of the battle. He was hit by an airborne machine gun and died on the battlefield.

Three Tigers Zhen Yaoxing, Four Tigers Zhen Yaogui, Five Tigers Zhen Yaofu, Three Tigers are the deputy commander of the artillery battalion directly under the brigade, Four Tigers are Zhong Xiufeng’s guard pistol captain, and Five Tigers are Zhong Xiufeng’s pistols. They followed Zhong Xiufeng to the Zengcheng battlefield. The Tiger’s artillery battalion was listed as a key target of artillery fire by the Japanese army. He died in the bombing soon after the battle. When Zhong Xiufeng's entire Cantonese army was crippled and asked for help from Guangzhou City Yuhan, he learned that there were no reinforcements. The Guangzhou army wanted The members are already panicking and are ready to abandon Guangzhou City! Although Zhong Xiufeng was alone and helpless, he insisted on fighting until the last person. Even if the Japanese were to hit Guangzhou City one minute late, more people would escape first!

The children of Southern Guangdong have a strong nostalgia, knowing honor and disgrace, and distinguishing their grievances and grievances. Zhong Xiufeng’s Cantonese army fought with the Japanese army to the end, and it was no longer established, but there were almost no deserters. Zhong Xiufeng had less than 300 people left by his side, which was not enough to survive another Japanese attack. At that time, he raised his gun and committed suicide. Before he died, he said that Xiufeng was worthy of the party-state cultivation, but the party-state was sorry for the Guangdong fathers, and he was sorry for the Guangdong fathers, and he had no face to return to his hometown! Let the other living brothers retreat.

After Zhong Xiufeng swallowed his gun and committed suicide, the four tigers, Zhen Yaogui, wanted to die as a martyr with a gun, and were beaten and taken away by his colleagues. The companions said that those Yu Hanmou ignored the hometown of our Cantonese army children, and we have no reason to die for them. A group of people evacuated and took up their families, and finally arrived in Hong Kong. Then the four tigers, Zhen Yaogui, participated in the battle when Hong Kong was occupied and died at the hands of the Japanese army. The five tigers, Zhen Yaofu, had only one son left and needed to honor his four brothers. My mother, continued the Zhen family's incense, so she survived, otherwise he should fight to death with his fourth brother while he was thinking.

Zhen Yaofu has no sense of belonging to the KMT. His mother is nagging all day long. The ashes of the dead ghost father and fourth brother are still placed in the temple in Hong Kong, thinking that one day he can go back to the countryside of Guangzhou and be buried in his ancestral grave. It has been established. If it were not for Zhen Yaofu's concern that his previous KMT status would be disadvantageous, he would have brought these children of the Cantonese army who came to Hong Kong back to the village to farm and fish.

This time Conglixiu found him and asked him to arrange a batch of materials that would be enough for him to die hundreds of times, and wait for the opportunity to ship them back to the mainland. Instead, he and those brothers felt that this was not a risk, but that it was hard to wait until they were able to. The opportunity to return home for meritorious service, after the resettlement tonight, tomorrow, my mother and the adopted younger sister Adi in Hong Kong will be able to take the ashes of their father and fourth brother back to the mainland from Macau, together with these brotherhoods and supplies. On boarding and returning to the mainland, you no longer have to live under the noses of foreigners and be a second-class citizen.

"Mr. Kang, don't you really need to leave Hong Kong tomorrow?" After Yan Yaofu wiped away the water stains with a towel, she took the warm soup and drank it. He didn't see the little girl's bad eyes on her. It was obviously to blame him. Drink the warmer soup that I helped Kang Lixiu dry.

However, Ah Di only pouted for a moment, and then ran in to help Kang Lixiu bring another bowl back. Upstairs, two rough and violent fishermen's old women reciting the Buddha religiously, praying for their husbands and sons to be reborn as soon as possible. the sound of.

Kang Lixiu shook his head slightly: "No."

"But didn't the mainland say that we really want young cultural people like you to return to China?" Zhen Yaofu is a martial artist from Rong, and traditional thinking makes him respect this cultural person younger than him.

Kang Lixiu knew what he had done this time and put Song Tianyao who valued himself on the big risk. During this transfer of materials, other newspaper colleagues close to the mainland had already been on the KMT watch list, and he was the only one of this small newspaper. According to Song Tianyao's instructions, the president was only responsible for paying the money, and never deliberately showed closeness, so it was considered to be very well hidden, but this time it was 71 planes, and the Kuomintang focused on other people early, and there was no more suitable one. It is suitable for people to take away the precious parts and engines of the airplane.

Literati have never lacked passionate people. After Kang Lixiu learned about the two flights, he didn't think about relying on Song Tianyao to help him at first, but he underestimated the power of the KMT in the dark of Hong Kong. Now he is stuck at the node, unable to advance or retreat. To die further, to take a step back is to die. He died to the point that he didn’t feel anything. If he were to replace the engines of seventy-one airplanes, he would obviously be worth the price. At the point where it is possible, the shipping strike, which ship goes to sea, naturally, which ship is the goal of the Kuomintang.

In desperation, Kang Lixiu thought of the boss's friend Mr. He in Macau, and from the moment he hoped that Mr. He would help out, Song Tianyao was passively involved.

"Ah..." Kang Lixiu thought about Song Tianyao's mood at this time, and did not answer Zhen Yaofu's words. At this time, he looked up at Zhen Yaofu who was waiting for the answer, and smiled sluggishly: "My boss, he is crazy, and I am dead. "
