    The road from Shipai to Sandouping is only thirty miles, and Zhang Xian can walk this road even with his eyes closed.

    But something was different today. His left arm was not flexible after being injured, and it was even more abnormal when riding on the horse. He was afraid that he would not have enough time, so he kept urging his mount, and the white horse started running wildly.  He could only hold the reins tightly with his right hand and clamp the horse's belly with his legs, but his left arm was so painful that it felt like he was about to fall off.  He gritted his teeth and endured the pain, only hating that the road was too long.

    Xiong Sanwa saw his pain from behind, and he chased after him on horseback, asking: "Batalion Commander, why are you doing this? Just ask the division commander to send someone over to take a look, and you have to go and run this in person."  trip."

    Zhang Xian shook his head, sighed, and said: "This is what I fear the most. If others come over, they may not be able to convince these leaders. If the opportunity is delayed, the success will be in vain. Our bloody battles these days will be in vain! I can  Aren't you in a hurry?"

    "How could this happen?" Xiong Sanwa was a little confused and asked, "The Japanese were defeated and ran away. We won. How can you say that we fell short?"

    "Do we simply ask the enemy to retreat after so many of our brothers died?" Zhang Xian asked him.

    Xiong Sanwa was stunned and asked in confusion: "Then what else do you want to ask for?"

    Zhang Xian gritted his teeth, not knowing whether it was because of his own pain or hatred of the enemy. He said angrily: "Even if the enemy wants to run away, we will make them pay the same price! No! I want them  Pay double the price!"

    Xiong Sanwa looked at Zhang Xian's eyes that were almost blazing with fire, and looked ahead firmly and coldly. He had followed Zhang Xian for so long, and only then did he suddenly realize that his battalion commander was actually hiding under his quiet face.  With such a fierce flame of revenge.

    *************

    Zhang Xian and Xiong Sanwa arrived at Sandouping. The place was already in a mess. No enemies appeared. Everyone was desperately running away to the west, fearing that they would be left behind.

    Under Sandouping is the easternmost water transport terminal in the Xiajiang River that was controlled by the national army at this time. It has now become the most crowded place. There are only a few boats parked on the dock. At this time, both sailboats and ships have already  It was so crowded that some boats couldn't even start even if they wanted to.  A steamship left the pier first, but it carried too many people and crawled slowly upstream. Some people swam towards it, clawing at the side of the ship and trying to get on board. The ship reached the middle of the Yangtze River, and the rapids  The river water suddenly pushed the boat sideways. The boat turned sideways, lost its balance, turned over, and slowly sank to the bottom of the river.  The survivors on the boat were struggling up and down in the river, and in a blink of an eye they were swept far away by the rolling river. The people on the shore were also frightened. For a while, the sound of crying for father and mother could be heard one after another, and the condition was too horrible to see.

    It turns out that Sandouping is a small town on the bank of the Yangtze River to the west of Yichang, with a population of only a few thousand. Since the fall of Yichang, the Jiang Defense Army stationed here, and it has become a gathering place for refugees and soldiers. This small town  It became overcrowded, and the population suddenly increased by tens of thousands, reaching a maximum of 120,000, and the town prospered.  It was precisely because of the interruption of navigation in the Yichang section that the water transport connections in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River were also interrupted. Therefore, the wartime transportation line centered on Sandouping came into being. The goods in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River were routed overland via Changde and Jin in Hunan.  Transfer to Sandouping and then enter Sichuan via the Yangtze River; on the contrary, ships coming out of Sichuan can only disembark here. For a time, it became a material distribution center and transfer station for Sichuan, Hubei, Hunan, Henan, Shaanxi and other provinces, and this place became more and more popular.  It seems important, which is why Jiang Fangjun deliberately wants to run this place. It has become a small city.

    The order to retreat issued by the Jiang Defense Command quickly spread throughout the town, and people became commotion and ran for their lives.

    Zhang Xian and Xiong Sanwa rode their horses into Sandouping. What they saw on the road were refugees carrying large and small bags, groups of wounded soldiers, officials with horses and carriages, and the remnants of the defeated army in disheveled clothes.  People mingled together, blocking the road. Some moved towards the dock, and some, knowing that there were not that many boats, followed the headquarters towards Maoping in the west. The whole town had become a mess.  It was like a huge ant nest that had been dug up, with cries, curses, and the sounds of carriages and horses mingling together, but the only thing missing was the sound of guns and cannons!

    "Everyone, don't run! The Japanese have been defeated!" Zhang Xian shouted loudly on the horse, almost to the point of hoarseness, but people didn't believe it and still went their own way. Officials no longer have the reserve of officials, and soldiers no longer have the dignity of soldiers.  Everyone is crazy about discipline and they don't listen to orders at all.

    Zhang Xian raised his gun and fired a shot into the sky with a bang. Who would have thought that it would be better if he didn't fire it. As soon as the gunshot rang out, people??I felt a pain all over my body.

    Zhang Xian thought about it, took out a piece of paper from his shirt pocket with his other hand, and handed it to her: "Look at this!"

    Wang Jinna took it hesitantly and opened it carefully.  The piece of paper was covered in blood and soaked with Zhang Xian's body sweat.  The first thing she saw were two small photos of her and Zhang Xian, and then she saw the large seal of the Hubei Civil Affairs Department. This was their marriage certificate that she had to get from Zhang Xian.  Although in this era, a marriage is considered official as long as there is a matchmaker, but she always feels that she needs a more formal certificate to feel at ease. Undoubtedly, this marriage certificate is the most formal certificate.

    Seeing Wang Jinna stunned here, Zhang Xian thought something was wrong and said quickly: "I'm sorry, this marriage certificate is stained with my blood, and the handwriting is a bit blurry, but you can still see it!"

    "No!" Wang Jinna cried again, looking at the certificate, heartbroken.

    "What are you doing this for?" Zhang Xian was confused.

    Wang Jinna just cried, but couldn't answer a word.

    A little nurse next to her couldn't help it anymore and explained to Zhang Xian: "Sister Nana was too tired to save the wounded and she just had a miscarriage!"

    Zhang Xian was stunned for a moment, and then he realized it. Although he felt a little regretful in his heart, he still comforted her: "It's okay, as long as you are okay, we can have another child in the future!"

    Wang Jinna threw herself into Zhang Xian's arms again and burst into tears.

    While Zhang Xian was persuading his wife, he asked the nurse beside him: "Do you want to retreat too?"

    The nurse nodded and told him: "Our hospital is almost gone. The wounded with minor injuries ran away on their own, and those with serious injuries couldn't leave. Sister Nana didn't leave either. She just went to the army commander to ask him to arrange for rehabilitative treatment.  Transferring the wounded, if she hadn¡¯t been running back and forth like this, she wouldn¡¯t have had a miscarriage, and we would have left here long ago.¡±

    "Oh? Are all the seriously injured people gone?" Zhang Xian asked again.

    The nurse shook her head and said, "The military commander promised to send someone to help with the transfer. He asked us to carry Sister Nana out of here first."

    Zhang Xian was a little moved. Commander Peng didn't seem to be an unreasonable person.  At that moment, he told them: "You don't need to leave, and there is no need to move those seriously injured people. The Japanese can't defeat them at all. They have been defeated by us and are in retreat. You can take Nana back to the hospital!"

    "Really?" The people on the side asked almost in unison.

    "I just came back from the front line, how could I lie to you?" Zhang Xian nodded affirmatively, and asked at the same time: "Where is Commander Peng now?"

    "He's in the guard regiment!" Wang Jinna told him.

    "Okay, I'll go find him right away!" Zhang Xian said, "You guys should go back to the hospital quickly and don't bother anymore."

    "You must be careful!" Wang Jinna warned, still a little worried.

    Zhang Xian nodded and said apologetically: "Nana, the military situation is urgent. I will come back to you after we have a complete victory!"

    "Yeah!" Wang Jinna nodded vigorously.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
