Chapter 72 Going Abroad
The plan and the victory was a thousand miles away, which was about Yan Zihui. Others were in Jizhou City, but the war on the riverside of the Wangcheng City was rife. In the early morning of April 14, 1919, thirty-five light mortars were transported to the vicinity of Jiangfeng City under the night. The colonel commander of the First Regiment of the Third Infantry Division issued an order to open fire.
"Dong!Dong!Dong!" The sound of cannons spread far under the quiet night sky, but the Japanese army in the city was sleeping soundly and did not feel the danger coming. They were not awakened until the shells fell to the ground and exploded.
Although the power of light mortars is not strong, Jiangfeng City is a small city with no city walls. The houses built with wooden boards and mud bricks are vulnerable. Even if the Japanese army living inside are not killed, they are crushed to death by the collapsed houses. Of course, such blind bombardment without targets inevitably caused a large number of casualties among the local Koreans. In order to defeat the Japanese army, this matter was inevitable.
The enemy's attack was so sudden that the 13th Regiment of the Japanese Army defending Jiangfeng City caught off guard and suffered heavy losses. The artillery lasted not long, only 15 or 6 minutes. After the artillery was over, the soldiers of the Third Regiment of the Third Infantry Division of the Northeast Army launched an attack. Nearly two-thirds of the Japanese army suffered casualties in the city. It was night again, and the light was unclear. There were countless people coming from the Japanese army. In a panic, the combat effectiveness was low. In less than half an hour, thousands of Japanese troops in the city were killed. In order to facilitate retreat, the Northeast Army did not take prisoners.
After the Northeast Army evacuated Jiangfeng City safely, the two brigades of the Japanese army rushed to rescue were dumbfounded when they looked at Jiangfeng City, which had become ruins. The Japanese army was very angry. On the one hand, the captain reported to the Japanese General Staff Headquarters, and on the other hand, he ordered the Japanese army to fight back in full swing.
The two sides launched the most violent artillery bombardment across the Wangcheng River. The situation between the Northeast Army and the Japanese Army became even more tense, and the war broke out. In order to retaliate against China, the Japanese side was in a state of convenience. Although the army could not reinforce due to financial resources, the navy dispatched six battleships and eight armored cruisers, plus more than twenty cruisers and destroyers, and headed to the offshore port of China's Xia, hoping to use force to fear the Northeast Army. The Northeast government did not have a strong navy yet, and facing the Japanese Navy, it could only be in a defensive state.
Wangchengjiang and Binhai are a certain distance from Jizhou City. The tension has little impact on the people of Jizhou City. Yi Huan finally got the permission of Mr. Hansen and was discharged from the hospital and went home to recuperate. Yi Huan was lucky, and the bullet did not hurt her nerves. She was still able to run or jump, which made Yi's family and Yan Zihui feel grateful. Peng Lingfu still had no news, and she seemed to have disappeared in vain. Wu Liming, who was talented and unemployed, was fired by the school. He was unemployed again and started looking for a job.
Yi Huan was discharged from the hospital and went home. Yan Zi thought that it was not as convenient as going to the hospital. Moreover, as the situation changed, he became more and more busy. However, he still sent Yi Huan home in person and stayed at the Yi family for more than half an hour. After Yan Zi left, Yi's father called Yi Huan to the study and asked seriously: "Xiao Si, tell the truth to you and your father, are you sure it's him?"
Yi Huan lowered her head and said nothing. She still remembered that before the accident, Yi's father said that Yan Zi's reply was very good, but it was not suitable for her. Yi's father pinched his eyebrows and said, "Xiao Si, although there are some things that you have to experience in person before you know whether it is right or wrong, but Dad doesn't want you to be harmed unnecessary. Xiao Si, is it okay for Dad to send you to study abroad?"
"Okay." Yi Huan thought about it and agreed. The development of Yan Zihui with Yan Zihui was too fast, which made her feel uneasy. She was afraid that Yan Zihui would like her face and the Yi family's family background. After all, war was very expensive.
Yi's father was relieved of his heart. He was afraid that his daughter would twist him and he would have to go back to him. Then he would have a headache. Now that his daughter is willing to go abroad, he was overjoyed and decided to make arrangements immediately. Yan Zihui didn't know that Yi's father would use the trick of removing firewood from the cauldron. He was assured his mother, "At the end of this year, I will definitely help you marry your daughter-in-law into the house."
"Aren't you trying to make me happy?" Mrs. Yan asked questioningly.
"Of course not, you are ready to marry your daughter-in-law." Yan Zi smiled.
Mrs. Yan snorted softly, "Since that's the case, why don't I go to the hospital to visit my daughter-in-law? She was injured to save you. How could I not care about me, a mother-in-law?"
"Mom, Huan'er was injured and looked ugly. Girls love beauty and don't want to be rude in front of you, your future mother-in-law. Besides, she is lying on the bed to recover from her injuries, which is not convenient for you to greet you." Yan Zi replied.
"She is injured. Am I so inconsiderate and still picking her tribute at this time?" Mrs. Yan said with a stern face.
"It's not that you don't understand others, it's that I don't understand you. I don't understand your mood of eagerness to see your daughter-in-law. This is better. Next weekend, I'll take her out and drink tea with you, okay?" Yan Zihui said quickly.
"Her injuries are healed. What kind of tea should I drink? Take her to take her to take medicinal food to nourish her body." Mrs. Yan smiled.
"Okay, then we'll go to Shanfangzhai for medicinal food." Yan Zihui changed his mouth as if he was good at it.
Mrs. Yan went back to the room with satisfaction to choose clothes. She must dress up beautifully to meet her daughter-in-law and also picked a gift for her youngest daughter-in-law. Unfortunately, the plan will never keep up with the change. Yan Zi received a telegram from the front line. The situation was urgent and led the troops to set off overnight, and she didn't even have time to call Yi Huan to explain.
Mrs. Yan was so angry that she stamped her feet, "My little daughter-in-law can't meet again."
On the other hand, Yi's father spent a day persuading Yi's mother to agree to Yi Huan's study abroad. Then he sent a telegram to his third daughter Yi Xin in Citi Country, asking her to help Yi Huan find a suitable school. Then Yi's father went to the school to complete the withdrawal procedures for Yi Huan, and sent a telegram to Shanghai City, asking someone to ask when there was a boat to go to Citi Country. He made up his mind and sent Yi Huan to send Yi Huan abroad after Yi Huan's injuries were completely healed.
When Zheng Yuhong and Zeng Shaowei learned that Yi Huan had dropped out of school, they went to Yi Mansion to ask about the situation, "Huanhuan, why did you suddenly stop going to school?"
"My father promised to send me to study abroad." Yi Huan smiled.
Zeng Shaowei simply envied: "It's so good."
Zheng Yuhong asked more, "Why did your parents suddenly agree to you to study abroad? How did you convince them?"
"I didn't convince them, it was my father who suddenly figured it out." Yi Huan couldn't tell the truth, so he could only lie.
Zheng Yuhong sighed, "I still want to learn what you said, so that I can go back and convince my parents and let them allow me to go with you."
"Maybe in a while, your parents will figure it out and take the initiative to let you study abroad." Yi Huan comforted her.
"I hope there will be one day." Zheng Yuhong said with no hope.
"By the way, Huanhuan, are you taking a boat from Jingu or going to Shanghai City?" Zeng Shaowei asked.
"When you go to Shanghai, the newspapers do not say that Japanese cruisers go to Bincheng and take a boat to Jingu. If you encounter them, it will be quite dangerous." Yi Huan replied.
"The Japanese cruisers probably won't fire at passenger ships," Zheng Yuhong said hesitantly.
Yi Huan sneered, "The Japanese are crazy and can't do anything."
Zeng Shaowei agreed and said, "Huanhuan is right, it's better to be safer."
