Prior to this, Qin Yue and Wang Shu took their sons, took a car, and left from the west side of the demon capital, which had not yet been surrounded, under the escort of several bodyguards.

They first went to Hangzhou, took a train from Hangzhou to Guangzhou, then from Guangzhou to Hong Kong, then from Hong Kong to Vietnam, and then took a train to Kunming, Yunnan. It's a circuitous road, one that only the rich can walk. If you change to ordinary teachers and students, you will have to trek to Kunming on foot.

When they arrived in Vietnam, the child Wang Shao fell ill and developed a high fever, and he kept crying.

After Qin Yue took penicillin and gave the child an injection, she couldn't help but complain: "Why did we go so far to Kunming? Why don't we go to Chongqing? If we leave two months earlier, how convenient would it be to go to Sichuan by boat with my mother and sister?"

Wang Shu apologized in a low voice, put it in her ear, and said, "I have a mission to Kunming." Can't go to Chongqing. ”

"What's the task?"

"Long Yun of Yunnan unified Kunming, and he was estranged from Chairman Chiang of the Qingbai Party, so he turned a blind eye to the supervision of students. With the relocation of Peking University, Tsinghua University, Nankai University and other universities, Kunming has an enlightened atmosphere, and we can do a lot of work to educate students through drama and drama. ”

"I've heard that Kunming is very hard, and people there don't have enough to eat. It doesn't matter if we starve, but we can't starve our children. ”

"Kunming is a good place, with the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway to Vietnam and the Yunnan-Burma Highway to Myanmar, which may be the second magic capital in the future. ”

Two days later, Wang Shao no longer had a fever.

They continued on their way and arrived in Kunming by train.

As soon as they arrived in Kunming, three people went to greet them, led by a young man, and said, "Second Miss, the place where you live is ready." Please come with me. ”

Qin Yue said, "What's your name?" I seem to have seen you. ”

The young man smiled: "My name is Zhu Lian, a native of Haining, and carefully speaking, I am still a little related to the second lady." My father's name is Zhu Shi, and he is your mother's distant grandbrother. My grandfather's grandfather and your grandfather's grandfather are brothers. ”

This relationship is a bit of a circle, and it looks like it's about to come out of five suits. But to be careful, it's really a relative.

Qin Yue smiled when she heard this: "Then why are you staying here?"

Zhu Jian said: "I am the deputy general manager of Qin's grain store, and I came to inspect the granary here. ”

Qin Yue was very surprised: "The granary of the Qin family, opened here? This is my brother's idea?"

"Yes, I received a telegram a few days ago, and I was waiting here, why did you get there?"

"The child was sick and was delayed on the road for two days. ”

"It doesn't matter, right? There is a Ci'an Surgical Hospital in Kunming, although it is said to be a surgery, but you can also find an internist. ”

"It's okay, it's hard for you to wait. ”

When Qin Yue settled down in a spacious house and took time to check on the Qin family's grain store, he found that his brother had taken precautions and had actually stored millions of tons of grain here! And not only grain, but also milk powder and canned meat!

At this point, Qin Yue's heart became more and more shocked and puzzled: "Why can my brother think so far? Why can't I think of this? Am I not the same mother as him?"

Let's go back and talk about the Battle of Jiangyin.

This was a fierce battle that brought together air force units, ground forces, fortress artillery units, and naval ship units for many days, and it was also the largest operation of the Chinese Navy in the War of Resistance Against Japan.

At the cost of the total annihilation of the main forces of the 1st and 2nd fleets, the Chinese Navy held the Jiangyin blockade line for nearly three months, and until the end of the battle, the Japanese army was never able to achieve the operational goal of following the Yangtze River to flank the flank of the Chinese Army on the front line of the Modu.

The officers and men of the Navy desperately covered the backs of the 700,000 army brothers on the front line of the Modu with tragic sacrifices! At the same time, the ground troops of our army fought to the death and did not retreat, inflicting heavy losses on the 13th Division, the main force of the Japanese army.

The battle to defend the Jiangyin blockade line stopped the Japanese army's attempt to advance west along the Yangtze River, shattered the Japanese army's dream of destroying China in three months, protected the safe transfer of military and political organs, industrial and mining enterprises in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River to the rear of Sichuan, and contributed to the protracted war of resistance of the Nationalist Government in exchange for space and time!

Jiangyin Fortress is a fortress composed of a series of forts built in Jiangyin County, Jiangsu Province, mainly located on the south bank of the Yangtze River on Xiaoshan, Huangshan and Changshan. It faces the lonely mountain of Jingjiang across the river. From the beginning of the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, the Huangshan Fort was continuously built and strengthened, which was the most important part of the fortress.

The lower reaches of the Yangtze River are open, and only in the Jiangyin section shrinks to more than 1,000 meters. Jiangyin fortress is here, the second river defense choke that goes upriver from Wusongkou is called "Jianghai Gateway" and "Lock Navigation Fortress".

According to Falkenhausen's vision, the first line of defense in southeast China was a permanent defense fortification consisting of the Songhu line, the Wufu line (Wujiang to Fushan), and the Xicheng line (Wuxi to Jiangyin), followed by the Jiangyin sealing of the river, and again the defense of Jinling. He predicts that the whole process can last for one to two years, and during this period, changes in the international situation will inevitably take place in favor of China.

On July 28, 37, Mr. Qing convened the Supreme National Defense Council in Jinling and made an extremely absurd decision: Chen Jiliang, the representative of the navy, proposed to immediately implement the shipwreck and seal the river, which was approved, with the purpose of blocking the navigation route of the Yangtze River, capturing the return route of the 13 ships of the Japanese 11th Squadron and a large number of Japanese overseas Chinese in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River, as a bargaining chip for negotiations with Japan, and to prevent the Japanese army from going up the river again.

Who expected the situation to change abruptly. Huang Jun, the chief secretary of the "Executive Yuan" who served as the minutes of the meeting, had already been lured into the water by the Japanese female spy Nanzao Yunzi, who was lurking as a waiter at the Tangshan Hot Spring in Jinling under the pseudonym Liao Yaquan. That night, he was about to pass on top-secret information to the Japanese spy officers who contacted him.

On 12 August, the main forces of the Navy's 1st and 2nd Fleets were ordered to assemble in Jiangyin, and 49 warships entered the Yangtze River to stand by.

The main forces of the two fleets were assembled on the Jiangyin River, and the first large-scale mobilization of the navy after the First Sino-Japanese War made all the officers and men of the navy excited!

The main force of the naval fleet was originally concentrated at Hukou and Xiaguan, but the 1st Fleet at Hukou, led by Commander Chen Jiliang, marched for 10 hours to Jiangyin. However, when the fleet was concentrated on the Jiangyin River, the officers and men who were full of enthusiasm for the flag order that "China deeply hopes that everyone can fulfill their responsibilities" were stunned to find that they would witness the largest collective self-sinking in the history of the Chinese navy.

The first batch of self-sinking warships were the oldest "Tongji" training ship, the "Datong" and "Ziqiang" light cruisers, the "Desheng" and "Weisheng" water engine carriers, the "Wusheng" survey boat (no longer in service), and the "Chen" and "Su" torpedo boats (all out of service), and most of these warships were old ships left over from the Qing Dynasty. In addition, the navy also solicited 20 steamers from China Merchants and various civilian steamship companies to sink themselves at the same time to form the Jiangyin lock line. When the 1st Fleet arrived in Jiangyin, 28 military and civilian ships waiting to sink were already anchored in the Junshan River.

At 8 a.m. on 12 August, all ships on the Jiangyin River were led by the light cruiser "Pinghai" for a flag-raising ceremony. At 8 o'clock, the "Pinghai" warship held a flag-raising ceremony, and the officers and men of all warships "stood on the slope" on the side of the ship and saluted the military flag. Chen Shaokuan's general's command flag rose to the top of the mainmast amid military music. After the ships arrived at their positions, Chen Shaokuan, who was sitting in "Pinghai", issued an order to sink the ship, and each ship opened the underwater door at the same time and slowly sank. The self-sinking operation was only finished in the evening, and Chen Shaokuan stood on the bridge of the "Pinghai" ship, speechless. It was the whistle of the day, and the military flag was lowered, making people want to cry without tears.

Because of the rapid current, most of the ships in the first batch were washed away from their ideal position by the current when they sank, resulting in an incomplete blockade line. When the Admiralty discovered that the blockade line was incomplete and there were many gaps, it requisitioned three civilian ships and sank them into the blockade line, and eight Japanese barges were towed to the blockade line and scuttled. In addition, the Admiralty urgently requisitioned 185 civilian boats and salt ships, which were laden with stones and sunk into the gaps in the blockade line. A total of 309,400 cubic feet of stone, or 65,020 quintals, were used for these civilian ships. If we add the four cruisers "Hairong", "Haiqi", "Haichou" and "Haichen" that sank on September 25, 1937 (after the naval war), a total of 43 old warships and merchant ships were sunk in Jiangyin, with a total tonnage of more than 63,800 tons.

However, the Republic of China paid such a huge price and did not catch the ships in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River! On 11 and 12 August, the Japanese ships in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River hurriedly sailed. At the wharves in Hankou, Jiujiang, Shashi and other places, Japanese overseas Chinese flocked to it.

When the Chinese side began to seal off the river, a total of 13 Japanese warships (including the flagship "Yaeyama") had already escaped! Our General Staff Headquarters urgently sent teams from Jinling and Jiangyin to search the river along the river, and it was not until the two search teams met at the Tuanshan border that it was proved that all the Japanese ships had escaped. In the end, the Japanese merchant ship "Daisadamaru" was captured only near Hankow.

What do you mean by this? Isn't it a loss for his wife and a soldier?

After the shipwreck was sealed, Vice Admiral Chen Jiliang, commander of the First Fleet of the Navy, led eight cruisers, the main force of the navy, "Ninghai", "Pinghai", "Yixian", "Yingrui", "Haiqi", "Hairong", "Haichen", and "Haichou", to deploy behind the blockade line of the shipwreck, while the small ships of the Second Fleet were deployed behind. The Chinese side hoped to give full play to the long-range strike capability of the cruiser's main guns through this "fortress" tactic, so the large ships collectively dropped anchor and the water batteries were almost fixed.

Through its spy personnel, the Japanese Navy has made the deployment of the Jiangyin fortress very clear and has drawn up a specific attack plan.

In late September, the Japanese Navy dispatched more than 70 ships, more than 300 aircraft, and 100,000 combatants in an effort to break through the Jiangyin defensive line.

The war was fought very hard, and the Chinese army's air defense was insufficient, and many of its main warships were blown up by Japanese military aircraft.
