Chapter 172 fierce battle
After three days and two nights of hard work, the Chinese New Army won the victory in the defense of Jingu, sinking one warship, severely damaging three warships, seizing two warships, killing more than 20,000 enemy troops, and capturing more than 3,500 prisoners. The powerful powers involved in this battle were frightened by the powerful military capabilities of the Chinese New Army. They had never thought that they would completely eliminate the Chinese New Army. The division of China would be beneficial to them. They withdrew their troops and withdrew from this melee.
The danger of Jingu was resolved. Yan Zi recalled leading his troops back to Jizhou, but received a telegram from Haicheng that he was in a tough battle and requested reinforcements, so he decided to rush to Haicheng immediately. Yan Zihui called back, but the one who answered the phone was still Mrs. Yan, and he still couldn't speak to Yi Huan. Yan Zihui felt a little uneasy, wrote a text message, and called Yang Yihua, "Take two people back to Jizhou immediately, hand the letter to Mrs. Qi, and ask her to reply to me."
"Yes, the governor." Yang Yihua took the order and left.
Two days later, Yang Yihua returned to Jizhou. In the Governor's Office, he failed to see Yi Huan who had already left. He asked many people but failed. It was Wang Hong who quietly told him the truth. When he learned that Mrs. Yan forced Yi Huan to ask for help, and made his own decision to let Yan Zihui marry Jiang Shuai's daughter in the southern Guangdong Army, Yang Yihua was dumbfounded. Is the old lady crazy?
Yang Yihua dared not ask Mrs. Yan in person. He immediately rushed to Yigongguan to deliver a letter. As for the marriage with southern Guangdong, he would deal with it when the governor came back. "Master Yi, Mrs. Yi, my governor asked Beizhi to send a letter to Mrs. Seven."
"Please take the letter back to your house. My little girl is not at home." Although Yi's father was wise and knew about the divorce, no wonder Yan Zi returned, but after all, it was the Yan family that forced Yi Huan to leave.
"I don't know where Mrs. Seven has gone? You can wait for a low position." Yang Yihua asked.
"She has now taken a boat to Citiland." Yi's father told the truth that Yi Huan had telegram before boarding the boat.
Yang Yihua was shocked, how could this happen? It's over! I can't hide this matter even if I want to.
The governor was on the front line, and Yang Yihua, as an adjutant, was not convenient for him to stay in the rear for too long. After a day, he rushed to Haicheng.
Yi Huan, who was far away from China, had no idea. That night, an event was held on the boat to eliminate the dullness of the journey. In order to keep the mood happy, Yi Huan took Shaoxia and Song Han to join in the fun.
"Touch the wooden stick and say words." Yun was the crew member of the host, and first spoke Yingwen and then spoke Chinese.
The journey was long and depressed, and there were many people who came to participate in the event. Of course, they were all first-class, second-class, and third-class. The crew selected ten people, seven men and three women, nine foreigners, and one Chinese.
Yi Huan sneered, and even discriminated against playing games, and put a piece of orange in her mouth.
The host asked ten people to sit on the chair and gave each of them two wooden sticks. The host told the rules and the game started. The first round was about the words starting with s.
Ten people held wooden sticks and hit the wooden board in front, singing in their mouths: "Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, what to knock?"
"smart." The fat white lady said, then she hit each other three times with two wooden sticks.
The gentleman standing in the fourth place said, "simp1e." He knocked.
At the beginning, the ten people still had time to think about it, and they all answered it. As the degree accelerated, some people couldn't react and were eliminated. After eliminating the four people, the host announced that they would change to the words starting with the word A, and this is the second round.
Everyone was having a high atmosphere, Yi Huan watched coldly, and it was not interesting to see it. Shaoxia looked excited and smiled, and got up to leave. Shaoxia asked, "Miss, where are you going?"
"It's too stuffy here, I want to go to the deck for some breath." Yi Huan said with a smile.
"I'll go with the lady." Shaoxia stood up and said.
"No need, you can play here, I want to be quiet." Yi Huan took the shawl and draped it on his shoulders.
After coming out of the cabin, Yi Huan stood on the deck and looked into the distance towards China. The sunset was setting, and there was an orange-red sunset in the sky. The brilliant glow dyed the sea surface golden yellow. The sea breeze blew, and the waves rolled. At this time, a tall man came over, "Hi, Miss."
Yi Huan looked back at him, "Is there anything wrong with sir?"
The man smiled and said, "Miss, my surname is Kong, and he is the 75th generation descendant of Confucius."
"Hello, Mr. Kong." Yi Huan said politely.
"Miss, I have been paying attention to you for a long time. I wonder if I have the honor to make friends with you?" Mr. Kong smiled.
"Mr. Kong should call me Mrs. Zhao." Yi Huan smiled.
"Are you married?" Mr. Kong said in surprise.
"Yes." Yi Huan laughed.
"The one who is by your side should not be your husband?" Mr. Kong asked tentatively.
Yi Huan laughed, "He was the one sent by my husband to protect me."
Mr. Kong was slightly surprised. The man looked extraordinary. He was not an ordinary guard. He could use such a person to protect his wife. It seemed that Mr. Zhao was not a simple identity. Mr. Zhao was not something he could touch. Mr. Kong smiled and said, "I won't disturb Mrs. Zhao to appreciate the scenery."
Yi Huan raised her eyebrows and turned her head to continue looking at the sea. She didn't take this little episode to heart. At this time, Yang Yihua had arrived in Haicheng, but he didn't dare to see Yan Zihui, and of course he didn't dare to see him. When he entered the command center, Yan Zihui looked at the military map with a serious look on his face.
"Supervisor." Yang Yihua shouted.
Yan Zi looked back and it was him, and a light flashed in his eyes, "How is the situation in Jizhou City?"
"Everything is good in Jizhou City, and the old lady in the mansion is in good health." Yang Yihua said.
Yan Zi heard back and said such a simple sentence, but he didn't say anything, frowned, waved his hand to let the staff in the command center withdraw, and asked, "Madam Seven's reply, please give me the reply."
"Mrs. Seventh Lady did not write a reply to the Supervisor." Yang Yihua said with a tough bullet.
"Then what did she ask you to bring?" Yan Zi replied and asked.
"Supervisor, Madam Seven..." Yang Yihua gritted his teeth, "Supervisor, Madam Seven has been divorced for you."
"What does the old lady have divorced the seventh lady for me?" Yan Zihui didn't understand.
"The situation was very tense some time ago. In order to get Jiang Shuai, the Guangdong Army to send troops to relieve the crisis, the old lady promised to let the governor marry Jiang Shuai's daughter. The seventh lady stopped Miss Jiang's words. The old lady took the lead and drove Mrs. Seventh out of the governor's mansion. When she returned to Jizhou City, Mrs. Seventh not only had left the governor's mansion, but also left Jizhou City and went to Port City to take a boat abroad." Yang Yihua reported truthfully.
Anger rushed to his forehead. Yan Zi grabbed the cup on the table and drank the cold tea inside, but he fainted without any anger. Jiang Shuai took advantage of the situation to rob, which he could understand, but he never expected his mother to treat Yi Huan like this.
Yan Zi returned to his luck for a long time before his emotions calmed down. He asked in a deep voice: "Can Song Han be with Mrs. Seven?"
"Mrs. Seventh took Shaoxia and Song Han away." Yang Yihua replied.
After hearing what he said, Yan Zihui felt a little relieved, "I'll find a way to contact Song Han, I want to know about Mrs. Seven."
"Yes, the governor." Yang Yihua agreed quickly, but secretly complained in his heart. Song Han should be on the ship now, how should he contact him?
Although Yan Zihui was worried about Yi Huan and wanted to go to find her immediately, he also knew that he was responsible for his responsibilities. Now he was the most important thing to defeat the Japanese and resolve this crisis, summoned the staff and the commanders of the two infantry divisions, drew on the map, and said, "The two divisions were distributed on the defense line of more than 100 kilometers, which was too weak. Once the Japanese army crossed the river point, they immediately reduced their troops. They wanted to use this natural chasm to give the Japanese army a heavy blow. After this war, I want the Japanese army to dare not provoke our new Chinese army."
"Please rest assured, the Japanese army wants to cross the river, it is not that easy. We will definitely let their blood dye the river water red." said the commander of the Sixth Infantry Division.
The next day, the Japanese army on the east bank of the river pushed out one cannon on the east bank, and prepared for the attack, aimed at the position of the Chinese New Army on the other side across the river. Yan Zi got up early, but he could not go to the front line. When Jingu was fighting, he was also in charge of the command center. The shells did not have eyes. If Yan Zihui had three long and two shorts, the Chinese New Army would be really finished.
"Supervisor, the two division commanders have sent a telegram. The Japanese army has begun to take action and is expected to start the attack soon." Yang Yihua handed the telegram to Yan Zi back.
After reading the telegram, Yan Zi immediately walked towards the hill next to the command center. Yang Yihua and the guards immediately followed. At 7:50 in the morning, the commander of the Japanese army issued an order to advance, "Boom! Boom! Boom!" The shells flew from the river and landed on the position of the Third Infantry Regiment of the Sixth Infantry Division of the Chinese New Army.
The trenches dug out in a hurry were blown up by artillery shells. Fortunately, the anti-aircraft holes were dug carefully and reinforced with logs. Although the fortifications were blown up, the soldiers were not seriously injured. Yan Zihui saw this scene with a telescope and frowned and said, "The artillery fire of the Japanese army is very fierce. Let our cannons open fire. We must suppress them."
The battle in Haicheng was in full swing. The siege between the Southern Guangdong Army and the Hudong Army in Hengcheng was temporarily stopped. The Southern Guangdong Army counted the number of casualties. "The division seat was killed in battle, 367 people were seriously injured, 180 people were seriously injured, and 922 people were slightly injured."
"What's going on with the Hudong Army?"
"I don't know yet."
"Inquiry now."
"Yes, teacher."
Yi Huan on the boat didn't know that the domestic situation was getting better. Every day, he was studying in the cabin for the children in his stomach, and he went for a walk on the deck. There were activities on the boat, and if he was interested, he would go and take a look. If he was not interested, he would stay in the cabin. He floated on the sea for about fifty days and waited for the boat to dock on the dock. It was February 4, 1926, and there were two days left to the Lunar New Year's Eve.
"I finally arrived in Citiland." Before the ship could dock, the people on the ship were already boiling. The journey was too long. The passengers packed their luggage early and couldn't wait to rush to the deck.
"Don't squeeze with them." Yi Huan was worried about her stomach and was not in a hurry to get off the boat.
Shaoxia took care of Yi Huan in close proximity, and guessed that Yi Huan was pregnant, but Yi Huan didn't say it, and she didn't dare to ask too much, but she just took care of her more and more.
The ship stopped and the passengers began to disembark. The dock was filled with people coming to greet him. For a moment, the dock was crowded. On the dock, there were many ragged black people carrying cargo.
"Little sister." A familiar voice.
Yi Huan saw Yi Xin in the crowd, "Sister Three."
Yi's father sent a telegram to tell Yi Xin that Yi Huan had been to Citi Country. Yi Xin had been waiting for three days and finally arrived at Yi Huan. The two sisters hadn't met for more than a year, and they were very happy to meet again. After a few gossips, Yi Huan laughed and said, "San Sister, take me to the hospital first."
"Little sister, why are you feeling uncomfortable?" Yi Xin looked a little pale when she saw her face.
"I'm pregnant." Yi Huan put his hands on his stomach.
Not only Yi Xin looked shocked, but also Song Han; Yi Xin was stunned, "What did you say?"
"I'm pregnant, I'm three months old." Yi Huan said with a smile.
Yi Xin looked down at Yi Huan's belly, with a bulging curve, "You...you are so brave. You are pregnant, and you dare to cross the ocean. If you are on the boat... Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Ba
"Madam Seven, did you know that you were pregnant before you got on the boat?" Song Han asked.
Yi Huan hesitated for a moment and replied, "Yes."
Song Han instantly understood Yi Huan's intention. If he knew she was pregnant before boarding the boat, he would never have let her get on board. But now he has arrived in Citiland. At least before she gave birth to a baby, it would not be possible for her to return to China by boat.
Yi Xin took Yi Huan to the hospital and had various examinations. The doctor said a lot of things, which summed up: "Mrs. A little lack of nutrition."
"You have been on the boat for more than a month, but it's not that you are inadequate in nutrition. Next, you have to make up for it." Yi Xin glared at her, "The older you are, the more willful you are. When you are pregnant, you will become a mother. You are still so ignorant."
"Sister, I'm here, are you still trying to drive me back?" Yi Huan said coquettishly.
Yi Xin said angrily: "Yes, I can't drive you away now, you are amazing."
The doctor said again, "This lady should be pregnant with twins."
"Twins? Are you reading it right?" Yi Huan looked at her belly in surprise. Although she had never been pregnant, she had seen a pregnant woman who was three months pregnant. If there was only one baby in her, she would not be pregnant yet, but her abdomen was already a little bulging. It turned out that there were two babies inside.
"In order to confirm the diagnosis, it is best for the wife to have a detailed examination in a few months." The doctor smiled.
"Okay, I will come again in a few months." Yi Huan laughed. One child was delighted, and two children became surprises.
Returning to Yi Xin's home from the hospital, Song Han said to Yi Huan: "Madam Seven, it's better to go back and tell the governor a telegram, you'll be pregnant."
Yi Huan shook his head, "I'll hide this from the governor in advance. The complicated situation in China has already given him a headache. Tell him that he couldn't come to me about my pregnancy, but instead made him worried."
Song Han felt that what she said made sense and agreed to reply without hiding it to Yan Zi for the time being.
Yi Huan said again: "You go and contact Xu Jinluo and ask him to find a way to buy a batch of ammunition and supplies to send back to China. There is also a house that doesn't have to be too big, but it must be quiet."
