What followed was a few days of retreat, until it was withdrawn to the periphery of Changsha, the troops began to repair, and the Japanese army was unable to attack, and finally had a peaceful time!

The First Army's losses in this battle plus the wounded soldiers have exceeded 10,000, but fortunately, Long Yun has also replenished the soldiers as much as possible!

The combat effectiveness of the new recruits was weak, and the soldiers replenished by the various departments had to start to strengthen the training and ammunition replenishment of these recruits, and the only reinforcement in this battle was that they captured a wing of artillery, and also greatly strengthened their firepower.

Seven or eight days have passed, everything is basically in a quiet state, and although the Yunnan army has suffered heavy casualties, its combat effectiveness is also recovering step by step.

Lu Hai has been staying with Qiao Miao all this day, since he knew that Qiao Miao was pregnant, Lu Hai also knew that he now not only had the duties of a soldier but also the responsibility of a husband, and he was indeed not a good husband, he didn't give Qiao Miao anything from the beginning, and he had to make her scared every day!

The sunlight shone in through the window, and a burst of warmth made Lu Hai gradually open his eyes, Qiao Miao in his arms was still asleep, and the warm sunlight shone on her fair cheeks with a faint flush, Lu Hai looked stunned unconsciously!

Maybe this is the hot kang head of the wife and children, how good would it be if there was no war?

At this moment, Qiao Miao also woke up, and saw Lu Hai staring at him blankly, and said with a red face: "What are you looking at?"

"What about you, when the war is over, let's live like this for the rest of our lives, okay?" Lu Hai said with a smile.

"That's what I think, when the war is over, I'll go back and open a private school to teach the children to read, what do you think?" Qiao Miao said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll go back and teach with you too." Lu Hai said with a smile.

"You don't plan to stay in the army, you have made so many great contributions on the battlefield, and the commander of the ten thousand divisions said that your future is limitless, and you are willing to leave the army"? Qiao Miao said.

"What is reluctant, I only know now what is the most important, what military merits, what I can't do as an official, I'd better go back and be a teacher with you." Lu Hai said with a smile.

"It's okay, I'm worried every day." Qiao Miao smiled knowingly.

"I've suffered you all these years." Lu Hai felt guilty in his heart, and hugged Qiao Miao a little tighter.

"I'm not bitter, it's you who suffer, you are only bitter on the battlefield, don't say any of this, how about a name for our child"? Qiao Miao said with a smile.

"Our country will suffer such a catastrophe, speaking of which, our country is not too strong, if it is a boy, we will call him Lu Guoqiang, and if it is a girl, you will come to see you"? Lu Hai said.

Qiao Miao pouted and thought for a long time and said, "If it's a girl, I'll call her Lu Wenjuan, what do you think?"

"It's good, but wife, shouldn't we get up, the sun is drying our butts." Lu Hai said with a smile.

"I've been lying down for a while, and there's nothing to do now...

It wasn't until noon that the two of them got up, and Lu Hai accompanied Qiao Miao to wash up in his spare time, Qiao Miao said, "Husband, why don't you comb my hair."

Lu Hai smiled: "Okay"!

Qiao Miao sat down on the side, Lu Hai picked up a wooden comb and gently combed Qiao Miao's hair, Qiao Miao's hair was very slippery, with a faint floral fragrance, refreshing, Lu Hai's hands were a little mu, and they would inadvertently hurt Qiao Miao, but both of them enjoyed this quiet and peaceful process.

The war has deprived him too much, it is hard for Lu Hai to imagine that his blood-stained hands can be so gentle, maybe it should have been like this, live the ordinary life of a small person, enjoy a bland happiness and joy, if there is no war!

Just after Lu Hai finished combing Qiao Miao's hair, Qiao Miao spoke: "Okay, you go to the rest meeting first, and I'll cook!"

"I'll go with you". Lu Hai said with a smile.

"It's okay, you go over and wash the potatoes for me." Qiao Miao said with a smile.

"Yes"! Lu Hai was about to turn around with a smile, but at this time, there was a quick knock outside the door, Lu Hai frowned and looked at Qiao Miao again, then put down the potatoes that had been picked up, turned around and went out to open the door, but saw that it was Zhao Jianying who opened the door.

"Xiaohai, the division commander is looking for you in an emergency." Zhao Jianying said.

"What's the matter"? Lu Hai frowned.

"I don't know, the division commander didn't say it, but the division commander's face is ugly, just go and see it!" Zhao Jianying said.

Lu Hai turned around and said, "I'll take a look, you don't have to wait for me for breakfast."

Qiao Miao smiled: "Pay attention to safety"!

"Hmmm"!

Out of the room, the two got into the car and went all the way to the division headquarters, and when they arrived at the division headquarters, they saw that there was no sign of military action in the camp, and the two entered the headquarters only to see Wan Baobang sitting in the headquarters with red eyes, Lu Hai and the two were also a little surprised, but it was not easy to ask, and they saluted and said: "Division commander"!

Wan Baobang looked up and said, "Jianying, you go out first, I have something to say to him"!

"Yes"!

After Zhao Jianying walked out, Wan Baobang picked up a telegram and handed it to Lu Haidao: "Look at this, you must be mentally prepared"!

Lu Hai took it and saw that it was a telegram transferred from Yunnan, which read: "The Third Army was almost completely wiped out in the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, and our army commander Tang Huaiyuan, division commander Cun Xingqi, regiment commanders Lu Quan, Chen Jun, and Huang Xiangu were killed"!

The last sentence of the telegram was: "There are only military commanders who committed suicide and martyrdom, and there are no soldiers who surrender to be traitors"! The signature is General Tang Huaiyuan, and what is written behind it is that Long Yun ordered this sentence to be spread throughout the army, and this sentence became the oath and guideline of the Dian army!

Looking at the list of the dead written on the telegram, there was obviously his father's name and Chen Liang's father's name, Lu Hai's heart was also a little complicated, it was not that he was sad and very sad, after all, he abandoned his family and children, it was his father who had never met, but after all, it was his father!

"Nakajo Mountain is lost, do you want to hear their story"? Wan Baobang said.

Lu Hai didn't speak, just nodded, Wan Baobang sighed and said: "Our group army has the name of the New Third Army because they came, because they are also troops in Yunnan, although they no longer belong to our Yunnan army sequence, but we have always regarded them as the Yunnan army"!

After the Northern Expedition began, Zhu Peide's Yunnan Army in Guangdong was reorganized into the Third Army of the National Revolutionary Army.

In 1937, the Third Army went to North China to resist the war, and because of its tenacious style, it has always been one of the fierce enemies in the eyes of the Japanese army. In the autumn, he participated in the battle of Mancheng and Gaobeidian.

In October, he participated in the defense of Niangzi Pass in Shanxi, lasted for 64 days, and then transferred to Taihang Mountain and the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army to cooperate in the operation. Repeatedly inflicted heavy losses on the Japanese army.

In 38, the Third Army was ordered to stay in Zhongtiao Mountain, and successively repelled thirteen large-scale attacks by the Japanese army, Zhongtiao Mountain is also known as China's Maginot Line, and the last time, the supply was difficult, the Supreme Commander Wei Lihuang also went to Chongqing to report on his work, and the troops were transferred out of part, and the defense line appeared empty, and the Japanese army took this opportunity to launch the fourteenth large-scale offensive codenamed: "Battle of the Central Plains"!

And the Third Army has always been a thorn in the flesh in the eyes of the Japanese army, and naturally it has become the target of the Japanese army's key attack, and even the chief of the general staff of the Japanese army has repeatedly emphasized that the key to capturing Zhongtiao Mountain lies in the attack on the Third Army! To ensure victory, it was necessary to strike at the Third Army with several times the force of the force1

The Japanese used poison gas bombs along the way to open the way, aircraft and artillery bombarded day and night, and the friendly forces were too busy to rescue the Third Army, on the 8th, more than half of the casualties of the Seventh Division, and your father also died in this battle under the poison gas of the Japanese army.

The Third Army launched a counteroffensive and crushed the Japanese at a terrible cost, but the Japanese soon counterattacked, and Chen Liang's father died in a white-knuckle battle with the Japanese army.

At this time, the defense line of Zhongtiao Mountain has collapsed on the whole line, the entire Zhongtiao Mountain is under siege, and various positions have been lost one after another, and the order issued by the headquarters is: "All departments can only resist anywhere, and the camera is turned behind enemy lines"!

"They just gave up on Nakajo Mountain"? Lu Hai clenched his fists and said.

"However, General Tang Huaiyuan didn't think so, Zhongtiao Mountain is the throat of North China, related to the entire North China defense line, General Tang Huaiyuan personally commanded the troops to charge, causing heavy casualties to the Japanese army, but the rest of the army has no fighting spirit, they have no army to save the situation, they are still surrounded"!

"The fierce battle lasted until May 12, the remaining soldiers of General Tang Huaiyuan were only 1,000 people, the Japanese army narrowed the target and surrounded them, and broke through the siege many times to no avail, General Tang Huaiyuan left this sentence to commit suicide and martyrdom"!

The battle knocked down the 12th Division, which was only an inch in the sky, and they were also surrounded, and most of them had been divided and scattered, he said: "We have guns in our hands and swords at our waists, and we would rather die with our chests held high than bow our heads to survive"!

led the soldiers to charge many times, and finally was blown off a thigh by the Japanese artillery, and committed suicide by drawing a sword!

In the 7th Division, Li Shilong and the 12th Division, under the leadership of the chief of staff, broke through the encirclement with more than 2,000 remnants, and the rest were killed, and no one surrendered, let alone a puppet army. But in this bloody battle, they also killed more than 14,000 Japanese soldiers, which can be regarded as a defeat for both sides.

"Do you have anything to say when they're done?" Wan Baobang said.

"If all our troops are like this, the Japanese army will not be afraid, the Japanese are right, we are a team piled up with sand, it sounds very scary, 700,000, 800,000, 1 million, it's not like that, too many people are greedy for life and afraid of death, this battle can't be fought"! Lu Hai clenched his fists and said.

"We can't manage so much, we just need to do our duty as soldiers, Chairman Long specially explained, let us hold a chase meeting, the whole army Dai Xiao to commemorate those compatriots who died in the distance, and at the same time write down this blood debt, and we must pay them back in the future"! Wan Baobang continued.

"You go back first, I'll let you know in the evening!" Wan Baobang said.

"Yes"!

It is worth mentioning here that after the death of General Cun Xingqi, his soldiers braved the rain of bullets and bullets of the Japanese army to bury him in the place where he had fought, and later the villagers near Zhongtiao Mountain have been helping him to guard the grave, and the annual memorial and cleaning, until after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the body of General Cun Xingqi was able to move back to his hometown in Yunnan, and the old man who guarded the tomb of the general died soon after the body of General Cun Xingqi returned to his hometown, and the locals spread that his last wish in this life has been completed, and he will die.
