The meeting in the hospital took place overnight. After everyone came out, they obviously saw the unhappy expressions of several people. Even Li Shuchun and Tang Yaoshi almost looked at each other angrily, which made everyone have more speculation.

The next day, listening to the doctor's hurried and chaotic footsteps, I knew that Meng Dashuai was still rescuing.

"General, you've smashed my sign!" Huang Tao said and handed over a bowl of wontons.

"Where is it so easy to get a gunshot wound?" Meng Xiang took the wonton, "I can only drink some millet porridge these days, and I don't have any oil and water in my stomach!" ”

"Many people outside are saying that I am a quack doctor and a mistaken person, delaying the treatment of the general." Huang Tao said with a smile, there are indeed many people outside the hospital who are praying for Meng Xiang's life. The hundreds of porridge shacks erected by the vanguard army in various places are innumerable, and it is normal for them to be grateful to the people.

This Meng Xiang also knew, he couldn't help but sigh and said: "The grace of a meal, these people still remember." Until now, they still can't eat enough, this blue sky, I dare not be ashamed. Long live that, I can't stand it even more! ”

"The wheat harvest has already begun, and the summer grain harvest is much better!" Huang Tao also accompanied him for a moment of silence and said.

"Even if you charge an extra three or five buckets, many people will still not be able to eat a meal of white flour steamed buns. Why did I think this white flour steamed bun was unpalatable? Meng Xiang muttered in a small voice in the last sentence, when I used to go to school, steamed buns were thrown everywhere in the university cafeteria, and this thing that people did not pay attention to in this era, even some landlords' families did not have it every day.

"Unpalatable?" Huang Tao next to him was unpalatable. He looked at the chaos in Meng Xiang's hand and wondered, "This is Zhang Ji's wonton at the entrance of the street, this area is famous, how can it be unpalatable?" As he spoke, he reached over to the bowl of ravioli.

"It's not that it's unpalatable, I mean it's rare to eat once!" Meng Xiang hurriedly stopped his hand and smiled. But watching Huang Tao's slender big hand in front of him slowly retract, Meng Xiang suddenly remembered the day he woke up, and it seemed that a pair of soft little hands touched his forehead. He thought it was a hallucination, but the feeling told him it wasn't like a dream.

"Doctor Huang," Meng Xiang was about to ask, but saw Rat Er hurriedly walk in, and Huang Tao retreated.

"The troops defending the embankment of the Yellow River were attacked by the Central Army." Rat II reported in a low voice.

"Hit back! Hold on to the embankment! Meng Xiang said categorically. This kind of thing is not negotiable. More than 10 million people below, as well as the hard-working farmland, are about to harvest their summer grain. Once the embankment collapses, that kind of disaster makes Meng Xiang powerless.

"How's the people around?" It is not enough to rely on that battalion alone, the long embankment of the Yellow River is not only easy to open at the mouth of the garden, but also may burst in several places nearby.

The Central Army was digging the embankment near Zhaokou at the beginning, because Meng Xiang, who only remembered Huayuankou, didn't know that there was such a plot, and the Huayuankou garrisoned was far away from Zhaokou, so they were picked up for most of the day. Later, it was discovered by the plane transporting troops and notified Xu Gongjin, who was in charge of commanding the embankment. Xu Gongjin quickly instigated the surrounding villagers to stop him.

Not only Zhaokou, where the embankment is thinner, but also Liuzhuang, Zhukou, Heigangkou and other places have put forward opinions and want to open up.

But once the people were organized, these plans fell through. When the people of Qili and Eight Townships heard the news that the army was going to rip up the Yellow River embankment, they all rushed over to protect the embankment automatically. The Yellow River of this era is not the soft Yellow River that often breaks the flow of the Yellow River in later generations, and the angry Yellow River often overflows, causing the surrounding people to suffer from it. They have a deep understanding of the dangers of the Yellow River, and they dare to be careless.

"Who leaked the news? Shoot, all should be shot! At this time, Lao Jiang was furious, and now tens of thousands of people are standing on the embankment of the Yellow River, which is hundreds of miles away, how can he go to the embankment?

After Gui Yongqing abandoned Lanfeng and Huang Jie abandoned Shangqiu, the 14th and 16th divisions of the devil went all the way unimpeded, occupied Kaifeng, and approached Zhengzhou. Although the devils in the Huai River area could not attack for a while because of the arrangement of the vanguard army and Li Zongren, only the 14th and 16th divisions and three reading mixed brigades could conquer Zhengzhou.

At this time, the bursting of the Yellow River can flood the two divisions of the devil and solve the problem of defense on the east side of the Central Plains once and for all.

But the people's berms made it all go down the drain.

"A company of the vanguard army is on the embankment of the Yellow River, and their demagoguery has bewitched the surrounding people!" Qian Dajun stood next to him and said.

"Vanguard? How could the people of the Vanguard be there? Lao Jiang paused his temper and asked calmly.

"Several medical teams of the Pioneer Army were treating the wounded near Zhengzhou, and a battalion of the Pioneer Army came to deliver medical supplies, medicine and supplies to them, and they were temporarily stationed near the Yellow River embankment! Some time ago, some of them were withdrawn together with the medical team, but with Li Delin's westward retreat, a group of people rushed over with the two medical teams. "In order to cover up some of the actions, the medical team of the vanguard army is accompanied by some troops to escort and follow, so as to facilitate external operations. The name of the Vanguard Medical Team has been spread, and everyone knows that their level is very high. Under the accumulation of a large number of medicines and medical devices, the level is naturally high.

After walking back and forth for a few steps, Lao Jiang suddenly said: "Tell Jiang Zaizhen not to have the kindness of a woman." ”

On the 10th, there was a torrential rain in the middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River, and the water level rose suddenly, and the place where the Central Army opened up Zhaokou was still in danger. Xu Gongjin immediately organized manpower to rescue and plug the mouth.

It was his remaining company that discovered the attempt of the Central Army to break the embankment, and he immediately sent an urgent telegram to the command. Because he was already familiar with the surrounding situation, the newly transferred battalion also obeyed the arrangement of his small company commander. However, in order to reward him for his merits this time, Meng Xiang had promoted him to the staff officer of the Major Regiment.

"Pick up that temple first, and block those beams for me at the breach!" Xu Gongjin pointed to a temple in the distance and shouted.

"That can't be picked, that's the temple for the Heavenly King! If you pick it up, you want to lose your life and fortune! An old villager persuaded hard.

"If you want to fold your life and fortune, you are also looking for me, I am not afraid, what are you afraid of?" Xu Gongjin glared at the somewhat hesitant soldier and said angrily. The clone next to him rushed over first.

Although the breach in Zhaokou is not large, with the washing of the roaring river, it may burst over time. In the original history, after most of the embankment in Zhaokou was broken by the river, it merged with the river at the burst of the Huayuankou embankment and rushed to the Jialu River.

There wasn't much material available nearby, and as soon as the sediment washed away, it was washed away. Even sacks and stones are easily washed away by water. Xu Gongjin, who was learning machinery, asked people to tie the bundled triangular wooden frame with heavy objects and push it into the breach, and with the support of the skeleton, it was really much smoother. But there is not much wood around, there are only private houses and a few temples near the break, and the thatched houses can't make up much wood, and a few temples in charge of the water god, even Xu Gongjin dare not touch it. That's when I got my eyes on this Tianwang Temple, which is still quite large.

"When is it, even if the king of heaven is really here, I'm not afraid!" Xu Gongjin, covered in muddy water, stood at the mouth of the embankment with his waist pinched, directing the soldiers to throw sacks full of sand into the breach.

This time, not only soldiers were flown in, but also 100,000 sacks. With these sacks, it is much more convenient than just silt. These sacks were among the military supplies of the devils captured last time, and this time they were directly transferred to a batch here.

The Temple of the Heavenly King was quickly demolished by the soldiers, and the stones and soil embryos that had been removed were also filled into the breach. Fortunately, it was discovered in time, and the breach was not large, and it was blocked in less than a day. But the thousands of acres of land around it can't be saved. Listening to the howls of the people around him, Xu Gongjin was a little regretful, but what he didn't know was that if he hadn't found out and dealt with it in time, it wouldn't have been these hundreds of people who were crying at that time.

"Staff Officer Xu!" Niu Baisui, the commander of the newly arrived support battalion, found Xu Gongjin, "Our troops have been placed everywhere, and some of them are too scattered. If you are attacked, it is difficult to defend against! ”

Xu Gongjin lowered his head and considered, although the embankment of the Yellow River is hundreds of miles, although there is now a spontaneous berm of the people, there are some situations that need to be understood in time, and one more minute to know the situation can be more prepared. It is not enough to count on the common people, there must be soldiers of the vanguard army in the vicinity ready to report.

"Reduce the number of people stationed, change the three-person team to the two-person team, increase the intensity of the patrol team, and establish two operational teams to deal with critical situations." The strength of a battalion is still too small, and it is okay to use it only for vigilance, but if there is an emergency, the manpower is obviously insufficient. Although air freight continues, it is still a drop in the bucket.

"Report to Battalion Commander Niu and Staff Officer Xu, the new 8th Division is attacking my Huayuankou garrison with guns!" At this time, a soldier ran to report.

After Jiang Zaizhen of the new 8th Division received the password from the old Jiang, he also had a calculation in his heart. Their new Eighth Division was originally going to carry out the G mission, that is, after the devils broke through Zhengzhou, they set fire to the city. But he was driven by Shang Zhen to pick up the river embankment. For this task, there was also a team to do this before, but everyone knew in their hearts that once the news was leaked, this would be a stain that could not be washed away for several lifetimes. Most of them are grinding foreign workers. At this time, it was Jiang Zaizhen's turn, and he was personally named by Lao Jiang, and the military order was in front, and Jiang Zaizhen had to bite the bullet.

The new 8th Division's station was in Jingshui Town, near Huayuankou, and for Zhaokou, which was already full of people, he felt that it was easier to dig up Huayuankou, which had broken the embankment many times. So, he set his sights on the entrance of the garden.

With a little friction, the new 8th Division clashed with the Pioneer Army, and the soldiers of a battalion, under the leadership of the battalion commander Huang Yingqing, began to attack the garrison of a company of the Vanguard Army on the river embankment.

"Fire! Break into the barracks, kill! Niu Baisui faithfully carried out Meng Xiang's previous orders, but whenever there is an army attacking the vanguard, fight first.

When the soldiers of the battalion of the new 8th Division broke through the cordon despite the shouts and warnings of the Vanguard, the company garrisoned by the Vanguard opened fire. The sniper rifle hit the two soldiers in front of him in the legs.

"Fire on me!" Huang Yingqing's vanguard army immediately shouted when they opened fire, and the central troops who rushed over opened fire one after another. A soldier of the Vanguard Army collapsed clutching his chest. At this time, the order of Niu 100 years old arrived. MG-42 immediately erupted in flames, knocking down a group of soldiers who rushed towards him. At this time, the situation is urgent, and it is no longer necessary to care about the fraternal troops.

As soon as the machine guns rang out, sure enough, the attack of the soldiers of the new 8th Division stalled. The firepower of the vanguard army is too fierce, in the past, when the troops rubbed together, they put guns for half a day, that is, a few people were killed and wounded, but now when they look at the face, a piece of the front has fallen, and in the face of the devils, they may still be able to rush, but the opposite side is the vanguard army, and the soldiers are hesitant. Seeing that they stopped charging, the gunfire of the vanguard army also stopped, and there was an eerie silence in the open space where the two sides were fighting, except for those soldiers of the new 8th Division who fell to the ground and cried out in pain.

The Clone Heavy followed the plan for dealing with his own people, and when he didn't get within thirty meters, he shot at the human legs. Most of those lying on the ground were shot in the leg and fell to the ground, and only a few were unfortunately shot and fell to the ground.

"Brothers of the new 8th Division, your division commander was ordered to pick up the embankment of the Yellow River. As soon as the Yellow River embankment bursts, how many people will be buried in the belly of the fish? And how many people will be homeless? Who of us who is a soldier has no parents, who has no brothers and sisters, whose crops have not suffered natural disasters, who have not suffered from hunger or cold, and who can watch the people and crops washed away by the Yellow River like this? The brothers of the 39th Army have long since left their stalls. Are you going to do this kind of thing that aids iniquity and cuts off your children and grandchildren? Zuo Pao Hui shouted loudly to the bottom. He did not listen to his father Zuo Shunmin, and followed the vanguard army from Nanjing, working in the propaganda department.

"The flood also washed away the devils, didn't Second Master Guan also flood the Seventh Army!" Someone shouted from below.

"The flood will not only wash away the devils, but also the more than 10 million people in the lower provinces and their crops. Do you know how many people will die? Those who drown, and those who starve to death without food, may die a million people. A million! You're going to kill a million Chinese people with your own hands! Based on some analysis provided by Meng Xiang, Zuo Paohui raised the number of possible deaths to a million figures.

The soldiers of the new 8th Division below were a little scratchy.

"Look over there!" Zuo Pao Hui pointed to the side with his hand and shouted, "There are a few cameras there, and when the time comes, you can take pictures of your heroic feats and put them on the movie for the Chinese people to see, how did your new 8th Division come to kill these millions of people?" Huang Yingqing, you look this way, come and show your ancestors! Look at your million-dollar murderous exploits! ”

Huang Yingqing hid behind in shame and didn't dare to make a sound.
