After Liao Yaquan entered Liantai Middle School, everything went smoothly. The students all liked this beautiful and patient teacher. The teachers at the school also spoke highly of her. She was even more favored after she had only been here for half a month.
He gained the admiration of many male teachers.
What makes those admirers strange is that in order to take care of her who came all the way from Shanghai, the school had originally arranged a single dormitory for her, but unexpectedly she rejected it on the grounds that the dormitory was reserved for students who needed it more.
teacher.
But in the second half of the night, Liao Yaquan, who was originally sleeping, was awakened by the noise in the street.
Liao Yaquan rented a room near the school. Her bedroom was on the second floor facing the street. Logically speaking, it would be noisy with people coming and going during the day, which was not conducive to rest, but she had a soft spot for it.
Liao Yaquan, who was awakened, opened the curtains and found military vehicles speeding past the street. The lights of these military trucks were all turned on, illuminating the entire street. With the help of the lights, she
It was clear that all military vehicles were filled with heavily armed soldiers.
"Something big happened."
As an experienced spy, she immediately realized that the Liantai Militia was definitely going to make a big move.
After realizing this, she immediately got up, got dressed, and pulled out a suitcase from under the bed. When she opened the suitcase, she found a radio station that had been disassembled into several parts.
More than ten minutes later, Liao Yaquan quietly poked his head out of the window. After checking for a while and finding no one, an octopus-shaped antenna quietly extended from the window to the roof...
May 11th Xia County, Shanxi Province to which Zhongtiao Mountain belongs
Lieutenant General Tang Huaiyuan, commander of the Third Army of the Yunnan Army, stood on a hillside surrounded by several guards. Looking at the Japanese planes passing overhead from time to time, he asked with sadness Wang Shaoqiu, the combat staff officer who had just returned from the front line, "
Are the troops still making no progress in breaking through?"
Wang Shaoqiu shook his head: "The Japs' offensive was very fierce. Commander Yan commanded the Seventh Division to carry out several counterattacks but failed to repel the Japs, let alone break through. The Twelfth Division was about the same.
The Japs used planes to blockade various ferries. Commander Cun Xingqi commanded the 12th Division to launch several attacks but failed to capture them. Instead, they suffered heavy casualties. Now the troops have suffered serious losses in weapons and ammunition. Commander Cun has already commanded the troops to attack the Japs several times.
It was a hand-to-hand fight.
Before I come, Commander Cun asked me to tell you whether you can ask the theater commander to send a few planes for support, even if it is symbolic."
Tang Huaiyuan frowned after hearing this. The Third Army he commanded belonged to the Yunnan Army. In vernacular, it was a miscellaneous army. It was composed of the 7th Division and the 12th Division. The weapons and equipment were very poor, and the total number of officers and soldiers was only more than 20,000.
people.
For such a miscellaneous army, how could Chief He send planes to support him? Besides, even if the Chief Minister was willing, the National Army's air force has almost been completely lost, so where can he get planes from?
After calming down, Tang Huaiyuan said to Wang Shaoqiu: "Go and tell Cun Xingqi and Yan Ming that China only has military commanders who died in battle and no military commanders who surrendered. This case must not be made from the Third Army. Do you understand?"
"Understood!" Wang Shaoqiu greeted Tang Huaiyuan in surprise, and then left.
Tang Huaiyuan picked up his telescope and looked to the west. That was the direction of the Yellow River. Cun Xingqi was leading the Twelfth Division trying to carve out a bloody path for the Third Army. However, the Japanese aircraft kept circling in the sky, cooperating with the Japanese troops at the ferry.
The Twelfth Division carried out strafing fire. The Twelfth Division could not even get close, let alone capture the ferry.
As a soldier with decades of military service, Tang Huaiyuan had a hunch that he might be in for a disaster this time.
As soon as he put down the telescope, he heard a shout from beside him, "The Japanese plane... take cover quickly!"
When Tang Huaiyuan turned around, he saw a Type 1 fighter plane coming out of nowhere and passing over their heads. A 45-kilogram bomb immediately fell and exploded near them.
"boom……"
Following a violent explosion, countless pieces of gravel and soil flew in all directions along with the shock wave. Tang Huaiyuan, who was caught off guard, was hit on the forehead by a flying stone, and blood instantly flowed down his face.
"Military seat..."
Seeing that Tang Huaiyuan was injured, the guards were so frightened that their faces turned pale. They rushed towards him, hugged him and ran down the hillside to the shell-proof cave below, and called the health worker.
The hygienist checked and said, "The military seat is fine. I just rubbed some skin and bandaged it and it will be fine."
After saying that, the hygienist took out iodophor to disinfect Tang Huaiyuan's wound, then bandaged the wound with gauze and left.
As soon as the health worker left, a major hurried over and said, "Military seat, are you okay?"
Seeing the person coming, Tang Huaiyuan waved his hand, "I'm fine, why are you here?"
The visitor was Jin Shaokong, the commander of the Third Army's supply camp. He also had another identity, that of Tang Huaiyuan's son-in-law.
Seeing that his military commander and father-in-law was injured, Jin Shaokong behind him was so frightened that he quickly ran over to visit.
Seeing that Tang Huaiyuan was fine, Jin Shaokong breathed a sigh of relief and replied: "Our supply camp is an empty shell now. What's the use of me staying behind? I have just organized more than 300 brothers in the supply camp."
, when the critical moment comes, I will lead them to fight a bloody path."
"Nonsense!"
Tang Huaiyuan's face darkened, "We haven't arrived at the transport camp yet, so stay back and don't act recklessly without my order."
"yes!"
Seeing Tang Huaiyuan's words, Jin Shaokong could only agree honestly.
"Shao Kong, help me up and go out with me for a look."
Jin Shaokong wanted to dissuade him, but after being glared at by Tang Huaiyuan, he could only obediently help him out of the air-raid shelter.
Tang Huaiyuan looked at the planes flying by in the sky from time to time, and his heart sank to the bottom. There were more and more Japanese planes. Can the 12th Division withstand it?
Just when Tang Huaiyuan was worried, a guard suddenly pointed to the sky and shouted: "No... there is another group of planes coming from the south."
Jin Shaokong hurriedly said: "Quickly...protect the military seat and return to the air-raid shelter."
"Why are you so anxious... The plane is still so far away, how can they see us? You all spread out, don't get together!"
Tang Huaiyuan drank everyone away and took out his binoculars to check, when he saw the group of planes coming from the south suddenly began to swoop down towards the Japanese planes that were strafing and bombing along the Yellow River.
"Dong dong dong..."
Seeing the flash of fire, three unprepared Japanese planes were hit and exploded on the spot. Then the whole sky fell into chaos. The Japanese bombers who were unscrupulously diving and dropping bombs instantly became a mess. A plane was dropping bombs at a low altitude.
In panic, the pilot of the Type 99 twin-engine light explosive aircraft yanked the control stick and turned in the wrong direction, colliding with another bomber next to it. The two bombers turned into two torches in mid-air on the spot.
