"Aunt Zhang, did you buy today's newspaper?" The first thing Su Tian did after getting up was to check the newspaper.
"I bought it. It's on the table in the living room. Breakfast is also ready. You can eat it after you wash up."
"Okay, thank you."
"Of course."
After washing up, Su Tian sat down at the table and picked up the newspaper to read.
After capturing Liangshan, they will move to the border of Yun Province to continue their attack on Yue.
"Old Song, I've rested enough, let me drive," Lu Yu said, opening his drowsy eyes.
"Sleep a little longer, don't rush. I'll drive a little longer, then everyone stop and rest for half an hour," Song Zhe instructed.
Half an hour later, Song Zhe got out of the car and walked around for a bit.
With this large amount of supplies, they had taken down the grain mountain in two or three days and were preparing to return to their camp.
However, they received orders to go to Yunnan Province to support the war in Laoshan.
Because it takes seven or eight hours to drive from Liangshan to Laoshan, and they have already driven for four or five hours, they will arrive soon.
"Old Song, let's go, let's set off."
Lu Yu got into the driver's seat first, and Song Zhe got into the passenger seat.
The soldiers from their regiment followed behind in a car, and they didn't arrive at their destination until evening.
"Let's call the cooks to prepare the meal first," Song Zhe said, then got out of the car.
Regiment Commander Liu of the Yunnan Provincial Border Troops walked up to them. After exchanging salutes, he said gratefully, "Thank you for coming to our aid."
"You're welcome. This is also an arrangement from above. What's the situation now?" Song Zhe asked, looking at the other person.
"It is about three kilometers away from the battlefield. The terrain over Laoshan is rugged, with high mountains, steep slopes, dangerous peaks and deep valleys, and great undulations."
This greatly increased the difficulties for our marching, transportation, and combat.
Moreover, the climate here is harsh, hot and humid, with frequent heavy rain and dense fog.
This not only depletes the soldiers' physical strength but also makes them more susceptible to illness, thus affecting their combat effectiveness.
Therefore, this battle was very difficult for us, and our logistical support was always inadequate due to the terrain.
Seeing that Commander Liu was frowning, Song Zhe comforted him, "Let's eat first and then discuss a plan."
Beijing city…
Su Tian was playing with the big yellow dog in the yard when suddenly there was a knock on the gate.
She nimbly went to open the door, showing no signs of being pregnant.
She opened the door and exclaimed, "Xiao Jing, it's you! Come in quickly, how did you know I lived here?"
Looking at the girl he had missed day and night, and then seeing her heavily pregnant, Xiao Jing felt a pang of pain in his heart.
But she still forced a smile and said, "I went to Song Zhe's house. His grandma told me." As soon as she entered the yard, Xiao Jing saw the big yellow dog on the ground.
"Are you doing alright?" Xiao Jing asked bitterly.
Su Tian smiled and nodded, "It's fine, how about you?" Xiao Jing was silent for a moment, "I'm doing okay too, did you marry Song Zhe?"
"Sit down, don't stand. It's not over yet, but he's already submitted the marriage application," Su Tian quickly said.
"That's great. Now that you've filed for marriage, you're secure. This is for you; remember to eat it when the time comes," Xiao Jing said with a smile.
"Xiao Jing, don't be shy, take these home and eat them." Su Tian looked at the nutritional supplements and was a little surprised by his generosity.
"It's okay, I bought it especially for you. If you don't consider me a friend, I'll take it back," Xiao Jing said helplessly.
"No, I'll accept it. Of course I consider you a friend."
"Is your pregnancy difficult?" Xiao Jing looked at Su Tian, who was slender, with a big belly, and he was a little worried.
"It's okay for now, I don't feel tired. Do you have a boyfriend?"
"Oh, no, I can't find a suitable one."
"So which one do you like?" Su Tian asked, sipping her water.
Xiao Jing took a deep breath, stared at her, and replied, "I like your type."
Su Tian was stunned for a moment, then smiled generously, "Xiao Jing, don't joke around. I already belong to someone else. You have no chance."
Xiao Jing gave a wry smile. "That's why I'm still single, because I can't find someone like you."
"You'll find it, don't worry," was the only comfort Su Tian could offer.
At this moment, Shen Qingqiu returned home from get off work.
Xiao Jing quickly stood up to greet them, "Aunt Chen, Su Tian, I've been here for a while now. I'll be going now, I'll come see you again next time."
"Leaving so soon? Have lunch before you go," Shen Qingqiu said, looking at him.
“Yes, Xiao Jing, it’s not too late to stay for dinner before you leave,” Su Tian also urged.
"No need, I have some things to take care of at work, I need to go back and deal with them first." Xiao Jing said and left in a hurry.
Su Tian walked to the door and watched him leave, then could only sigh and go back inside.
Late July.
"Old Song, how many enemies are left to take down?" Lu Yu asked while firing at them.
"Isn't that obvious? It's all right in front of us."
At this time, Laoshan had been experiencing torrential rains for several days, causing the Qingjiang River to flow rapidly and its water level to rise quickly.
The soldiers' movements became extremely difficult. Song Zhe wiped the rain off his face and shouted, "Watch your step, everyone! Take cover!"
"Those damn monkeys, they'll beat you even in the pouring rain, I can't even take shelter from the rain and rest for a while."
"The battle is almost over. Some have fled, some have died, and some have surrendered. Only a few diehards remain. We can withdraw after this battle."
Song Zhe and Lu Yu focused their attention and continued shooting until the last enemy fell.
The two of them quickly sat down on the ground to rest for a while. "Old Song, is this battle over yet? We haven't rested for several days, we're so tired."
"Heh, all done fighting?" After resting enough, Song Zhe used his hands to support himself on the ground and stood up.
He felt the small gourd on his neck getting hot, and it was burning him.
Suddenly, he noticed that one of the enemy was preparing to throw a grenade into the middle of their group.
"Watch out! Get down!" Song Zhe shouted, lunging towards the grenade.
"Old Song!" Lu Yu's eyes widened, his voice filled with despair.
He fired several shots in succession, riddling the enemy who was throwing grenades with bullets.
With a loud bang, smoke billowed out. Song Zhe, having fallen into the Qingjiang River, disappeared without a trace.
The surrounding soldiers gathered around, their faces filled with grief, and shouted Song Zhe's name loudly.
"Let's go, let's go check downstream. Leave some people here to keep watch, the rest of you come with me downstream."
Lu Yu quickly issued orders and led his team to conduct a search and rescue operation.
At this moment, Commander Liu arrived with the remaining dozen or so men. "Hey, where's your commander?"
"Our regimental commander, in order to save us, took a bomb with him and died. He fell into the river and disappeared in an instant."
