    But besides the two of them, Fu Longxiang was also following behind them.

    Old Fu was the housekeeper of the Dai family. After the ship sank, it was Old Fu who grabbed a wooden boat and brought them to the shore.  Otherwise they will drown in the Yangtze River.

    After Dai Caixi and the others landed ashore, they crossed the Huaihe River north and entered the Henan area.  Although the old man was a housekeeper, he did not dare to give orders to Dai Caixi. He could only follow his young lady into the Henan area.

    On the way, if it wasn't for the old Fu to protect the two of them.  As the two women walked on the road, they might encounter some danger.

    They finally made it to Shangqiu, where they encountered a large group of national troops being transported to Xuzhou.

    These troops include those from the 51st Army and the 40th Army.

    At this time, the Japanese army had slowly encroached on the Shandong area.  Multiple divisions of the Japanese army launched fierce attacks along Jinpu Road from different directions.

    Just now when they were at the station, they encountered troops from the 51st Army of the National Army.

    Through conversations with them, Dai Caixi and Hu Naichong learned that the 59th Army, where Xia Yang's troops were located, was gathering in the Xuzhou area at this time, intending to support the battle along Jinpu Road.

    At this time, the commander of the 59th Army was already General Zhang Zizhong.

    Previously, General Zhang Zizhong led the 59th Army to successfully block the Japanese army on the north bank of the Huaihe River, preventing the Japanese army from crossing the Huaihe River and invading Henan.

    "We have already inquired clearly. The 59th Army is in Xuzhou. We can find them when we take the train to Xuzhou," Dai Caixi said.

    Hu Naichong¡¯s husband, Zhang Weizhi, was the former head of the Logistics Department of the 59th Army and also belonged to the 59th Army.

    After the battle in Baoding City, she never heard from her husband again. At this time, she could only follow Dai Caixi to look for the 59th Army.

    The old man next to him cleared his throat and persuaded Dai Caixi: "Miss! Others are running wherever it is safe, but you are running wherever there is a fight! I just heard what those soldiers said, they are going to  We went to Xuzhou to fight a big battle! I think we should go back to Chongqing! It¡¯s the safest place there now.¡±

    Along the way, Lao Fu said similar words countless times.

    He felt that he had said more in the past few months than in the past seven or eight years combined.  Basically, they were trying to persuade Dai Caixi to follow her back to Chongqing.

    But after all, Lao Fu also knows that he can¡¯t persuade his young lady.

    My young lady has a stubborn temper and has determined that even ten cows cannot be pulled back.  Let alone an old man, he couldn't pull ten cows back. How could an old man pull him back?

    Dai Caixi said to Lao Fu: "Old Fu, if you want to go back, you can go back! I will give you travel expenses. Anyway, I am going to Xuzhou to find the 59th Army."

    Old Fu sighed helplessly. It was naturally impossible for him to leave Dai Caixi and return to Chongqing alone. If he could not bring Dai Caixi back to Chongqing safely, he would be fired by his employer when he returned.

    The whistle of the train came from afar. It was a train coming from Luoyang, Henan. The carriages in front of the train were already filled with Nationalist soldiers in military uniforms.

    They were transferred here from the western Henan region for defense. Xuzhou is a transportation hub connecting the north and the south. The upper levels of the Kuomintang did not want such an important city to fall into the hands of the Japanese army.

    Dai Caixi and Hu Naichong, each holding a child's hand, stood next to the train.

    When the train door opened, the soldiers who had been waiting on the platform began to enter the train car.

    Because of the pressure of transporting troops at this time, many civilian trains were also requisitioned into military trains.

    So in this civilian train, you can also see a large number of soldiers, carrying rifles, standing in the crowded carriage.

    Old Fu once again played his role and pushed through the crowds of people getting on the bus, opening a passage for Dai Caixi and Hu Naichong to get on the bus.

    They found a corner to sit down. There were almost no civilians in sight in the entire carriage.  The only people who would go to Xuzhou at this time were soldiers from the army and people who wanted to pick up their families from Xuzhou.

    Dai Caixi was sitting by the window. She rolled down the window and saw Shangqiu Railway Station gradually moving away from her sight.

    Outside the car window, a vast expanse of wilderness began to appear.

    It¡¯s already February, and the wheat has grown to ankle-high. In the freezing cold, it¡¯s growing tenaciously upward, like a battlefield.The warriors who desperately survived.

    The whistle sounded again, and Dai Caixi, Hu Naichong and their group once again headed towards an unknown destiny.

    In fact, they were completely unsure whether Xia Yang, Zhang Weizhi and the others were still in the 59th Army.

    It is even very possible that they have all died in Baoding City.

    But they would rather remain optimistic and believe that Xia Yang and Zhang Weizhi are still alive and well, and are in the 59th Army at this time.

    ¡°Perhaps it was such a meager thought that supported these two women as they trekked all the way from the south of the Yangtze River to the Central Plains.

    They are like the Chinese people struggling in countless sufferings at this time, all trying their best for the shaky ray of hope in the distance in the dark night.

    They firmly believe that as long as they catch the ray of light in the darkness, they will catch the entire dawn!

    Xia Yang¡¯s troops arrived outside Luoyang City late at night.

    Because it was already time for the city gate to be closed, the troops guarding the city did not dare to open the door to them.  Xia Yang also knew their difficulties, so he ordered the troops to rest temporarily in a small town outside the city.

    Xia Yang entered the village late at night, fearing to disturb the villagers' normal rest, so Xia Yang ordered the troops to try not to make any noise.

    Many soldiers were sitting on the ground beside the wall or on the street, holding their rifles and falling asleep.

    After more than ten consecutive days of marching, even they felt exhausted throughout their bodies.

    Although Xia Yang is the brigade commander, his treatment does not become better than other soldiers because of this.  Also wrapped in a blanket, he lay on the street and fell asleep.

    The cold winter night lasted until the next morning, when the vendors selling breakfast were walking on the streets pushing pushcarts.  Only then did he see that the street, which was not very long, was densely packed with soldiers from the Fourth Brigade.

    At this time, several people walked over to the vendors.

    The vendors were also frightened, especially when they saw the few people walking over with guns in their hands, they did not dare to move.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
