When Lu Man rushed into the ward, the little girl was feeding Sun Yumin rice cereal, spoonful by spoonful, very serious. The little girl finally recovered from her worries, and her heart rose again, seeing him with his mouth open, sometimes deliberately not feeding it, the spoon stopped in front of his mouth, and Sun Yumin, who was on the hospital bed, was a little angry, and coaxed him to eat like a child.

Lu Man, who was originally full of apologies and love, not only laughed out loud when he saw this scene.

Sun Yumin was annoyed that the little girl was teasing him, pursed his mouth and refused to eat, while the little girl was coaxing, and when they heard the laughter, the two found that someone was coming.

"Sister Lu." The little girl put down the bowl and spoon in her hand and pounced on Lu Man, who was dressed in casual clothes.

"Girl, you've grown up. Thank you for your hard work. Lu Man stroked her head and said.

"Well, the little girl seems to have grown taller." A slightly older voice came from outside the room.

"Uncle Chen." Every time she was in front of Chen Bui, the little girl showed a very well-behaved appearance.

Chen Bui came in behind Lu Man, saw the two girls hugging each other, knew that the two had a good relationship, and praised Xiao Yuying.

"Yumin, are you feeling better?" Lu Man took advantage of the little girl talking to her father, walked to the hospital bed, held his hand and asked.

"Hmm." Although Sun Yumin's voice was much better than when he first woke up, it still seemed slightly weak.

It's okay not to hear his voice, but as soon as I heard the once sonorous and powerful voice that became so hoarse and weak, Lu Man's tears flowed involuntarily.

The secretary who came with Chen Bui walked in with a basket of flowers and fruits, and finally there was a little bright color in the white world.

Sun Yumin took Lu Man's hand and signaled her not to cry, she was fine.

"When Li'er found out that you were injured, she was stunned." Chen Bui looked at the little couple in front of the hospital bed, and felt a little heartache.

Hearing this, Sun Yumin looked at Lu Man, her tears were still flowing at the moment, he shook his head at her, and said softly: "I'm worried about you." ”

"I'm fine, as long as you're safe." Lu Man wiped away the tears on his face and showed Sun Yumin a smile.

After the secretary and the people he brought went out, the little girl brought in with two little nurses and brought a few round stools, and asked Chen Bui and Lu Man to sit down.

Sun Yumin wanted to sit up and have a good chat with Chen Bui, but his body couldn't support him to talk for a long time, let alone allow him to be excited or make other movements. However, the Yellow River embankment at the mouth of the garden was like a boulder pressing on his chest, and if he didn't say it, even if he could heal immediately, he wouldn't be at ease.

"Father-in-law." This is the first time Sun Yumin has called him that since the wedding. "Can you persuade the chairman not to blow up the Yellow River embankment?"

Chen Bui didn't expect Sun Yumin to suddenly say such a sentence, although his voice was very small, he was sure that he was absolutely not mistaken.

The bombing of the Yellow River embankment is a completely closed message, and it is absolutely impossible for the people above and the parties involved in the mission to learn about it. So Chen Bui was immediately stunned when he heard this, he didn't know where Sun Yumin got the news, and he didn't care to ask him where he knew it, now he had to be shut up immediately, if he didn't keep his mouth shut, the consequences would be very serious.

"Li'er, you and the girl go to the door to watch, I have something to say to Yumin."

After the second daughter arrived at the door according to her words and drove away the guards in front of the door, Chen Bui said: "The breaking of the Yellow River embankment is top secret, I don't know how you learned the news, now that you know, I have to tell you, you have to keep your mouth shut." What can be said and what cannot be said, as the governor of more than 20,000 people, I believe you don't need me to teach. ”

Chen Bui saw that he seemed to be a little anxious, so he slowed down his tone a little and continued: "The chairman of the committee has made a decision on this matter, and the order has been issued to the Ministry of Business Shock. Even if you and I go to stop it again, we won't be in a hurry to stop it. ”

"New Eighth Division, Jiang Zaizhen." Sun Yumin's mood fluctuated a little, and he was also a little anxious.

"Ask him what to do?" Chen Bui didn't know that after the order was issued to the Shang Zhen Department, he successively sent two regiments to dig the Yellow River embankment, but they were unsuccessful, especially the Zhaokou embankment, which had been dug and later blocked by the huge amount of yellow sand carried by the river. Lao Jiang was in a hurry, and the devils followed closely, Shang Zhen had no choice but to invite Jiang Zaizhen, the new Eighth Division, who blew up the Yellow River railway bridge, and finally decided to break the embankment at Huayuankou.

Sun Yumin definitely couldn't tell Chen Bui how he knew about this incident, all he was thinking about now was trying to persuade this Lord Taishan to go and give up the idea of blowing up the embankment.

"Call Jiang Zaizhen of the new Eighth Division, don't blow up the Huayuankou embankment." Sun Yumin was a little excited, and when he said this, his face turned crimson, accompanied by a cough, although not violent, but enough to pull the wound.

Seeing that blood was oozing from the corners of his mouth again, Chen Bui was worried that something would happen, so he quickly nodded and agreed: "I'll send a telegram to Jiang Zaizhen immediately, don't worry." Then he shouted to the two women at the door, "Call the doctor." ”

Sun Yumin heard Chen Bui's promise to go to the new Eighth Division, and his mood calmed down a little, he was originally very weak, and after saying this conversation again, he felt very tired, his eyelids were heavy and he couldn't open them, so he fell asleep.

After the doctor's examination, he rebuked the two full-time nurses, saying that they would punish them for not taking good care of General Sun. In fact, it's none of the nurses' business, and how dare the doctor blame Chen Bui and his people, so he has to remind him in disguise to stop arguing with the seriously injured on the bed.

After Chen Bui returned to the office from the hospital, he kept thinking about Sun Yumin's words, and he kept thinking about why this seriously injured son-in-law must stop this order that is about to become a reality regardless of his own injuries. Although the embankment of the Yellow River is firm, in front of Shang Zhen, who has several divisions, is it undoubtedly not pediatrics? Perhaps at this time, the Zhaokou embankment has been dug up, and the flooded Yellow River has been drained down, submerging the entire southern Henan under a piece of Zeguo.

Also, why did Sun Yumin call Jiang Zaizhen of the new Eighth Division to stop him from blowing up the embankment, instead of looking for Shang Zhen? As far as he knows, the breach of the embankment in Zhaokou was sent by Cheng Qian in an official telegram asking for instructions. Although Lao Jiang verbally ordered him to break the embankment in Zhaokou, this was a matter of the livelihood of millions of people; Relationship with the history of later generations; Matters related to their reputation, none of these so-called government bigwigs will carry it. Cheng Qian's telegram was still handled by himself, so Sun Yumin said that he couldn't understand how to dissuade Jiang Zaizhen from breaking the embankment at the mouth of the garden.

Just as Chen Bui was thinking about this problem that gave him a headache, the secretary walked in and said cautiously: "Director, I saw Chief Lin in the room just now and hurriedly went to the chairman's office. ”

Chen Bui immediately walked out of the office when he heard this, he wanted to quickly find out the specific situation, so that he could have an explanation for Sun Yumin.

When I walked to the door of Lao Jiang's office, I heard a voice with a strong Zhejiang accent coming from inside: "Okay, good, it's still my own family at the critical moment." Shang Zhen is a waste, he is greedy for life and afraid of death in war, and he can't blow up a big embankment. ”

Chen Bui was shocked: his own family? Could it be that Shang Zhen's Zhaokou embankment really didn't blow up, but was dug up by Jiang Zaizhen's garden mouth on the outskirts of Zhengzhou?

He was so anxious to know the answer that he forgot even the basic etiquette knock on the door, and walked directly into Lao Jiang's office.

Lao Jiang was not surprised by Chen Bui's sudden appearance, as a fellow countryman and a confidant who had followed him for more than ten years, he still trusted Chen Bui very much. Lin Wei was different, he thought that if he came in without knocking on the door, Lao Jiang would not be so generous. Although they are both the directors of the waiting room, the intersection of the two is very small, and they usually meet until a little bit, and today is no exception, both of them nodded to each other, indicating that they had said hello, and then there was no other action.

"Hikoji is here."

"Yes, President."

"I had someone look for you and come back and say you went to the hospital. What do you think? Is Sun Yumin's situation better now? Lao Jiang asked.

"Thank you President for your concern. The son-in-law, Sun Yumin, has woken up, but his injuries are too serious, and it is still uncertain whether his life is in danger. ”

"It's good to wake up, it's good to wake up. Yan Ji, there are two happy events today, and with Sun Yumin unharmed, it is the third one. In the morning, Lin Wei was saying that today was an auspicious day for the zodiac, and sure enough. ”

"President, in addition to the happy event of Yumin waking up, I don't know what the other two happy events are."

"The first happy event is also related to General Sun, Lanfeng battlefield he led the 20th Division to inflict heavy losses on the 14th Division of the Japanese Army, winning a rare retreat time for the divisions, just got the report, the 81st Division of the Zhanshutang Division, planted explosives at various ferries on the other side of the Yellow River, so that the 14th Division, which had been hit hard, suffered heavy casualties. The telegram from Zhanshutang said that it was only after listening to Sun Yumin's opinion that he thought of planting explosives. Lin Wei naturally wouldn't let Lao Jiang do this kind of narration in person, and said first. He knew better than anyone that Sun Yumin was Chen Bui's beloved son-in-law, and he also tried to move Sun Yumin down, but he was forced to prove that Chen Bui could save the day with a little activity. Now speaking out of his own mouth about the person who made him unhappy, Lin Wei's expression was embarrassed and jealous.

"It's a great event." Chen Bui echoed: "The exhibition master should be rewarded for this great achievement. ”

"No, no, no, Hikoji, what I'm talking about is not that I secretly killed a few Japanese soldiers, but that the 400,000 elites of the national army have all been out of contact with the Japanese army and have been transferred safely." Lao Jiang himself said that he didn't care at all that this could have been a big victory, but it was only because his descendants escaped from the battle that it became a big rout.

"Stay in the green mountains, even if there is no firewood!" Chen Bui is a deep flatterer, how can he not fight the snake and follow the rod. "As long as the elite of the 400,000 national troops in the First War Zone retreats safely, we will have the capital to fight the Japanese army. This should be the first thing to do. Please ask Director Lin to inform the second joy, so that Chen can be happy and happy. ”

Lin Wei saw that Lao Jiang was coaxed by Chen Bui to smile with a few words, and he felt very uncomfortable, but he couldn't do anything, the two people in front of him were both from Zhejiang, Chen Bui Cixi, and Lao Jiang Fenghua, so many years of friendship were beyond his ability to catch up with a foreigner. Although he had an idea, he still had a smile on his face, and opened his mouth to say: "What Director Chen said is that all our troops are safe and sound, and it is only a matter of time before the Japanese invaders are driven out. ”

Lao Jiang and Chen Bui both laughed and said nothing, they had heard too much of this kind of flattery.

"The second joy is that the embankment of the Yellow River has finally been blown up, and all the Japanese troops in the enemy theater in Shandong, Henan and Anhui have been blocked by the flood, which can ensure that the Japanese army will not be able to enter the vicinity of Wuhan in March, which means that there will definitely be no war in Wuhan in March." When Lin Wei said these words, his face was full of smiles, in his mind, in his heart, he didn't think about it at all, after the Yellow River embankment was dug up, what would the people in the floodplain do? In order to protect hundreds of thousands of national troops, to protect the land in central China, and to protect the city of Wuhan, all the responsibilities that originally needed to be borne by the army were put on the shoulders of the common people.

After the embankment burst at the mouth of the garden, the rushing water of the Yellow River quickly drained. At this time, it was the rainy season, and the upper reaches of the Yellow River were swollen, and the Huayuankou breach was rapidly enlarged, and the silted Zhaokou was also washed away by the water. Zhaokou and Huayuankou two floods converge together, such as getting rid of the stiff wild horse, rushing down the Yellow River, rolling up the monstrous waves, lasting 4 days and 4 nights, the river water rushing from west to east broke the Longhai Railway, and flowed to the southeast of Henan. It flooded Zhongmu, Weishi, Fugou, Xihua, Huaiyang and other places, and then passed through the Yinghe River and Xiqi River, and poured into the Huai River upstream of Bengbu, flooding the embankment of the Huai River and breaking the Huai River Railway Bridge near Bengbu. Bengbu to the north through Cao Laoji to Su County, has also become an ocean. After the Japanese army was blocked by yellow water. The entire Yellow Flood Area stretches for more than 400 kilometers from northwest to southeast, and flows through more than 300,000 square kilometers in 44 counties in Henan, Anhui, and Jiangsu provinces, causing immeasurable losses to the lives and property of the people in this area. According to incomplete statistics, more than 1.4 million houses in Henan were washed away, more than 800 mu of cultivated land was submerged, more than 1,100 mu of cultivated land in Anhui and Jiangsu were submerged, and 4.8 million people were bankrupt. More than 89 million people were caught off guard, buried in the belly of the fish, tens of millions of people were displaced, and caused the Yellow Flood area, which was a consequence that Chiang Kai-shek did not expect for many years.

According to the National Government's "Documentary of the Disaster in Henan Province", the residents of the Yellow Flood Area were caught off guard because they had not heard of the incident in advance, and the embankment burst suddenly, and the torrent followed; Wealth and fields, all paid for the flow. At that time, the earth was surging, the cry shook the sky, and its tragic and painful state was really unbearable.

He was lucky not to die, so he only survived the rest of his life, most of them lacked food and clothing, and his soul was terrified. The migrants are plagued by hunger and disease, and they often cross the roads and fill in the ravines, and there are not many of them. Fortunately, they were able to escape and reach the other side, and they all died in their lives, preparing for hardships, not drowning ghosts, and becoming homeless people...... Therefore, it is even more common to sell children and women. The Henan Provincial Archives recorded 890,000 deaths and 12 million people were affected, and the Huayuankou levee burst brought great disaster to the Chinese people in Henan, Anhui and Jiangsu in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, inundating more than 1,200 acres of arable land and creating a flood area. In total, 10 million people were affected and 3.9 million were displaced. The Huayuankou embankment bursts billions of tons of sediment from the Yellow River every year along the breach, silting up the river, flooding the fields, overflowing the lakes, blocking traffic and shipping, forming a vast yellow flood area that passes through 44 counties in Henan, Anhui and Jiangsu provinces "Every year during the flood season, the yellow water will flood back and irrigate, inundating the farmland, after the flood is the locust plague, there are sand dunes everywhere, the surface is abrupt and convex, and it is impossible to cultivate at all, causing serious damage to local agriculture."

This breach directly caused a large-scale drought for two consecutive years from 1941 to 1943, which led to the famous "Great Famine in Henan", in which tens of millions of people became refugees and 3 million peasants died of starvation in Henan alone.
