What Mrs.
Yao said is the truth.
In war and chaos, the unlucky ones are always the common people.
The high-ranking officials have plenty of connections.
There are a lot of people who are hoarding goods.
The gang of running orders is really not a country that is struggling to make a fortune, especially buying foreign goods that are in short supply from Hong Kong.
It is definitely a business to make money.
"Leilei, it's not an option to just sit there and live in vain.
Zi Kun is not around, so we have to survive."
Mrs.
Yao stroked her daughter's hair with great affection.
The wife of the former deputy director of transportation in Beiyang, who had great fame in the past, already had a lot of gray hair on her temples.
Suddenly there was a scream from the door: "Grandma" Jian Bing brought Yan'er and Xiao Nan back.
Now the two siblings are studying in a school for martyr orphans, and Jian Bing is responsible for picking them up and dropping them off every day.
When Yao Qizhen and his wife saw their granddaughter return, they burst into tears.
Their sweetheart screamed and cried, while Xiaonan stood aside and watched blankly.
His grandparents had stayed in enemy-occupied territory and could not enjoy the caress of their ancestors.
"Xiaonan, look at the gift grandpa brought you."
Yao Qizhen was very thoughtful and did not take down Xiaonan's share.
He took out toys and snacks from the bag and coaxed the two children aside, and the adults continued talking about business.
Yao Qizhen said: "Zi Kun died and Xiao Qing's whereabouts are unknown.
Have you sent a telegram to tell Xiao Bei?"
Yao Yilei replied: "Not yet, for fear of affecting his studies.
Xiaobei is a child who follows his father and is passionate.
If he insists on returning to China, wouldn't he be jumping into a pit of fire?
I don't know how long Chongqing can sustain it. , relatively speaking, the United States is the safest.”
Mrs.
Yao's eyes lit up: "Then it would be better to find a way to send Yan'er and Xiaonan to the United States to study."
Yao Yilei didn't seem very enthusiastic and said, "Let's talk about it later."
Mrs.
Yao was not determined to give up, and mentioned the matter of the delivery gang: "Zi Kun was an official of the Aviation Commission during his lifetime, and everyone who flew an airplane knew him.
Leilei, it is definitely the most suitable route for you to take the Hong Kong-Chongqing route.
Others can only carry small packages.
There is a weight limit for luggage, so it will definitely be different when you go out.”
Yao Yilei was still not interested, and wanted to revive her husband's career.
Jian Bing was convinced after hearing this, and took the initiative to invite her: "I'll do it, I'll put it down, it's okay if the family doesn't make money, a big family needs to eat."
Going to school is too expensive, and money is constantly depreciating.
If I don’t do some business, I won’t be able to survive.”
So it was decided that Jian Bing would be responsible for running orders to help make money, Yao Yilei would take charge of the overall situation, and Yao Qizhen and his wife would stay in Chongqing to help take care of the children.
Although life is not as good as before, they still have to live day by day.
In Beitai, there are mountains of firewood piled on the river beach, and dozens of corpses wrapped in white cloth are waiting to be cremated.
These soldiers were ambushed and killed during the raids in Nantai.
When the reinforcements arrived, the battle was already over.
All the weapons, ammunition and equipment of the soldiers were taken away, and the bodies were neatly stacked on the roadside.
Soldiers who died in battle are usually cremated nearby, and their ashes are put into an altar and sent back to the country for burial.

A sergeant pours gasoline and lights the firewood.
After the body is burned, he picks up some large bones, sweeps up some slag, puts it into the jar, and puts his name on it.
After completing the task, when cleaning the ashes, there are often warheads remaining in the remains.
These things need to be cleaned out with a single door.
A bunch of warheads were picked out.
Captain Takeshita bent down to check with emotion, but he found clues.
These bullets were different from the 79 rifle bullets and 762 Mauser pistol bullets commonly used by the Chinese army.
They seemed to be American pistol bullets of four or five calibers. .
This is the bullet commonly used by Chen Zikun's Northern Thai Army.
They are equipped with a large number of American Thompson portable machine guns.
This rapid-fire weapon has an advantage in encounters and ambush battles.
The four- and five-caliber bullets are even more powerful.
They can hit a shell gun bullet.
It can still maintain combat effectiveness.
Even the strongest soldier will fall when hit by a four- or five-caliber bullet.
Therefore, the Imperial Army was very impressed by this bullet.
Colonel Takeshita couldn't help but worry.
Could it be that the last Chinese troops in Beitai did not die under the municipal building, but the golden cicada escaped from its shell?
Colonel Takeshita immediately ordered the excavation of the ruins of the city hall.
At this time, the reconstruction work in Beitai had already begun.
Under the bayonets of the Japanese army, the forcibly recruited people cleared the ruins and built gun towers without any mechanical equipment.
They relied entirely on manpower.
Anyone who moved slowly would be whipped by the Japanese army.
The people were miserable.
After the colonel gave the order, they were driven to the city hall and forcibly moved dozens of tons of cement bricks away, finally revealing the entrance to the underground air-raid shelter.
The Japanese army went to search and found no remains of Chen Shou, Chen Qilin, Xue Bin and others.
Moreover, the air-raid shelter was connected to the sewers and extended in all directions.
They must have escaped from here.
"Baga" Colonel Takeshita was furious.
He understood something.
Last time, someone sneaked into the city and killed a major and two cooks.
The imperial army put the entire city under martial law to search but failed.
The assassins must have escaped from the sewers. of.
He sent people into the sewers and used iron grates to weld the main gates shut to prevent the enemy from infiltrating again.
Back in the office, Colonel Takeshita took out from the bookshelf a summary of the military and geographical locations of China's Kodong Province compiled by the General Staff Headquarters.
Since the Sino-Japanese War, the imperial army has been committed to exploring the mainland, sending spies to draw maps of various parts of China and studying folk customs.
The military maps drawn by the General Staff Headquarters are even more accurate than those drawn by the Chinese themselves.
Opening this military topography, it is clearly written that Jiangdong Province is divided into north and south regions by the Huaijiang River.
The people in the south are simple and cowardly, similar to the people in the Yangtze River Delta, while the people in the Jiangbei region are tough and violent.
Wild, tough, hard-working, and the geography of mountains and rivers is also relatively complex.
The Daqing Mountains are hundreds of miles away and unfathomable.
Even the military maps only roughly indicate the altitude of a few peaks.
Colonel Takeshita frowned.
The 45th Regiment was originally a front-line field force.
Now it is used for garrison duty.

It is already a kind of punishment.
If the guerrillas in the jurisdiction cannot be eliminated, I am afraid there will be no future.
The adjutant came in and reported: "Colonel, Xia Sang wants to see you."
"Let him in."
Colonel Takeshita was a little unhappy.
This Xia Jingqi was not doing things well.
If it hadn't been for the face of the intelligence agency, he would have been shot.
Xia Jingqi walked in with his head held high, wearing a suit, breeches and leather boots, and an imperial army hat on his head.
He was dressed nondescriptly.
He saluted as he entered the door: "Your Majesty, Colonel, I have important information.
Chen Zikun is still alive."
"Nani" Colonel Takeshita jumped up suddenly.
This was explosive news.
The dispatched army headquarters confirmed Chen Zikun's death, and Chongqing also held a state funeral.
How could he still be alive.
"Yours, tell me in detail" Xia Jingqi didn't dare to show off, so he recounted the information in detail.
After Xia Dalong's death, the Xia family was in a state of collapse, but there were still some distant relatives living in the Kushuijing area.
They had been bullied by the Chen family for more than ten years.
This time Xia Jingqi returned to his hometown, first of all Got in touch with them and used their eyes and ears to investigate things in the countryside.
After the Battle of Beitai, hundreds of people came from the countryside, all of whom had familiar faces.
Chen Zikun, Chen Shou, Xue Bin, Gong Zijun, the eldest son of the Gong family, and Yan Su, the former chairman of Jiangdong Province, etc., all gathered in Xiamapo. and Gongjiacun, recruiting troops in an attempt to fight against the imperial army.
"Xia Sang, is the information accurate?"
Colonel Takeshita was extremely excited and grabbed Xia Jingqi's collar.
"Your Excellency Colonel, I dare to guarantee with my life that there will be no mistake.
Chen Zikun is tall and wears an American leather jacket.
Everyone in the country knows him."
Takeshita Yoshiharu paced back and forth, the saber on his waist was clanging, and his heart was full of excitement.
The contribution of capturing the Chinese general alive was enough to offset the shame of the regiment's flag being lost.
Maybe this battle could return the regiment to the field order and no longer be a leader.
Second-rate garrison.
However, the things recorded in the military map also made him a little worried.
The folk customs in Jiangbei were too tough.
In the early years of the Republic of China, bandits were everywhere here.
Basically, adult men could play with firearms.
If the imperial army wanted to take it by surprise, it must make detailed arrangements in advance. .
"Xia Sang" "Colonel" "The Imperial Army has important tasks entrusted to you, do you have confidence?"
"Those who have great confidence have the ability to work tirelessly and tirelessly" "Yo Xi, ask your cousin to secretly investigate the activities and scope of Chen Zikun and others, and report regularly.
Don't worry about the remuneration, the military salary will be huge."
"Hai" In Nantai, at the Dawang River Wharf in the darkness, Chen Zikun and Liu Ting were saying goodbye: "When we arrived in the provincial capital, everything went as planned."
"Understood, I will contact Liu Youjin to purchase medicines, weapons and ammunition and send them to Jiangbei."
"You should go to Shanghai more often.
The concession is still safe.
You can entrust Li Yaoting to help with things that cannot be bought in the provincial capital.
Lin Wenjing and his wife should also go back soon.
I can't get away, so I will leave it to you. ” Liu Ting nodded: "Don't worry, I will send them to Hong Kong safely."

"Also, when you arrive in Shanghai, send a telegram to Chongqing to report that you are safe."
"Yes, I noted it down."
Zeng Jiao, who was sitting on the bow of the boat, whistled to indicate that it was time to sail.
Chen Zikun suddenly made a move and hugged Liu Ting tightly in his arms.
This was the first time the two showed intimacy in public.
Liu Ting was worried that her parents, siblings and niece would see her sitting on the boat, but she calmed down after that.
In the age of war, every farewell may be a farewell to life and death, so there is nothing to worry about.
The wooden boat set sail silently, and the cabin was dark except for Liu Cunren's cigarette butt, which flickered on and off.
After running for several months, he finally returned to the starting point.
He lost more than half of his family's wealth and his most precious collection of books.
If I had known what the trouble would be, it would be all the fault of the Japanese, who were greedy and invaded China.
Otherwise, I would still be working in the provincial government, and the whole family would be happy, how wonderful it would be.
Compared with Nantai, the provincial capital is still safe.
In order to win people's hearts, the Japanese stopped carrying out massacres and appointed Liu Youjin as the maintenance president.
When they returned to their hometown, they didn't have to worry about their livelihood.
The only thing they worried about was staying in Nantai to fight.
Xiaoyong, the son of a guerrilla, the war is so cruel that one day he will be separated from the yin and the yang.
On the bank of Yima Pingchuan, horses galloped.
Chen Zikun and Liu Xiaoyong galloped along the river bank with their whips raised to see off their relatives
