Chapter 84 Jia Zhang regrets her decision

Seeing He Daqing getting angry, Yan Bugui and Xu Fugui felt a little embarrassed.
Just when they didn't know what to say, they saw He Yuzhu take out the stairs from under the eaves of the east wing and put them on the eaves.

So I quickly asked,
"Zhu Zi, what are you going to do with the stairs?"

He Yuzhu set up the stairs, shook them vigorously and answered without turning his head,

"On the roof, of course!
Instead of arguing like this for a long time and still being unable to make up your mind, you might as well go up to the roof and see where they are bombing."

After hearing He Yuzhu say that he wanted to go up to the roof to observe, He Daqing and the others stopped arguing.
"Okay, then you go up quickly and take a look to see where the cannons on the other side are exploding.
Are there any courtyard houses in the city that were bombed?"

"Yes, yes, yes. Zhuzi, hurry up to the room and see what's going on."

While Yan Bugui, Jia Zhangshi and others were talking, He Yuzhu had already climbed up to the roof of the east wing in two steps.

Put your hands over your eyes.
At first glance, huge columns of smoke continued to rise outside the city wall.
From time to time, there were bursts of violent explosions.

He Yuzhu, the "veteran of hundreds of battles", knew at a glance that the artillery positions, tank assembly areas and other strongholds outside the city had been accurately knocked out by heavy artillery.

He remembered that before the siege of Peking, the General Front Committee had obtained a complete map of the city's defense layout.
This is the only way to achieve targeted results.

At this moment, He Daqing's question came from below.
"Zhu, did you see clearly what exactly exploded? Did the shells hit the city?"

"Don't worry, Dad. The shells didn't hit the city.

However, huge explosions occurred in many places outside the city, and it was estimated that the defenders' artillery and tanks were almost destroyed.

I don't think the PLA has many artillery shells, otherwise they wouldn't have specifically bombed the important strongholds of the defenders.
They can’t use artillery shells to blow up civilian houses.”

Hearing He Yuzhu say that the shells did not fall on the city, He Daqing and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

For whatever reason,
As long as it doesn't harm the common people.

However, when Aunt Yi, Aunt Liu and Jia Zhang heard He Yuzhu say that the People's Liberation Army specifically bombed important strongholds and that huge explosions occurred in many places outside the city,
The first thing that came to mind was a steel mill that could produce weapons and ammunition.

Then he shouted anxiously,

"Zhuzi Zhuzi, hurry up and check what's happening at Dongzhimen. Has the steel mill been bombed?

Are your Uncle Yi and Uncle Liu okay?"

Hearing their request, He Yuzhu hurriedly looked outside Dongzhimen, but how could he see where the steel mill was through the high city wall?
So he turned his head and looked at Xu Fugui below.
"I can't find where the steel mill is.
Uncle Xu, you are familiar with the outside of Dongzhimen, why don't you come up and see if there is a steel rolling mill where the smoke is coming from."

As soon as He Yuzhu finished speaking, Jia Zhang and his men began to urge Xu Fugui to go up quickly.
Xu Fugui did not hesitate to climb onto the roof using both his hands and feet.

Standing on the high roof, Xu Fugui looked towards Dongzhimen, and then saw a large area of ​​smoke.
Then he screamed,
"oops!

Why was there such a terrible explosion outside Dongzhimen? There was a lot of thick smoke coming out of the steel rolling mill. It looks like it must have been hit by the explosion.

I don't know if Lao Yi, Lao Liu and the other two are okay."

As soon as the voice fell, whether it was Aunt Yi, Aunt Liu or Jia Zhang, the three of them immediately felt as if the sky had fallen.

He burst into tears.

"Oh my! Old Yi, please don't get into any trouble. If anything happens to you, how will I live?"

"Old Liu, you better be smart.
Don't just think about getting promoted and making money, push forward in everything!
I hope she can come back safely." Compared with Aunt Yi and Aunt Liu, Jia Zhang's behavior was even more exaggerated.

Sitting on the ground without saying anything,

He was slapping the ground with tears and snot, expressing his regret.
"Dongxu, it's all mom's fault!

Mom shouldn't have let you worship at Lao Yimen and go to work at the steel mill.

If you didn't go to work in the factory, you would definitely stay in the yard at this time, and you wouldn't be hit by the fire!

Dongxu, you must be smart.
Think more about everything, Mom. If anything happens to you, Mom won’t be able to live anymore!"

Seeing the three women burst into tears, one more than the other, He Daqing and Yan Bugui were overwhelmed and quickly asked Aunt Yan and Widow Bai to comfort them.
Then he looked up at Xu Fugui on the roof and asked,
"Lao Xu, did you see clearly whether the steel mill was really bombed?
Look at how worried Sister Yi, Sister Zhang and the other two are.
Don’t lie about military intelligence.”

After saying this, both of them winked at Xu Fugui, asking him to say a few nice words to ease the hearts of the three women.

But when Xu Fugui saw them winking at each other, he first looked at Yi Zhonghai's wife and Liu Haizhong's wife,

Then he fixed his eyes on Jia Zhang.

Finally, I made up my mind and just pretended that I didn't understand what He Daqing and the others were hinting at.

"Old He, I really saw it clearly. It was the steel mill that was blown up. If you and Old Yan don't believe me, come up and see for yourself.
How could I not know where the steel mill is?"

He Daqing and Yan Bugui have been paying attention to Xu Fugui's every move since they finished questioning him.
Seeing him staring at Jia Zhang for a while,

How could they not know that he was retaliating? Yi Zhonghai's wife and Liu Haizhong's wife were just innocent victims.

However, Jia Zhangshi usually behaved like a human being. Even though they knew this was the case, they did not expose Xu Fugui in person.
Instead, he asked He Yuzhu who was standing next to him.

But He Yuzhu saw Jia Zhangshi, Aunt Liu and the other three crying sadly, and was also watching the fun with great interest.

Although he listened to He Daqing's words, he was also a man who never cared about trouble.

"Dad, Uncle Yan,
I don't know the exact location of the steel mill outside Dongzhimen.

Uncle Xu works at a steel mill. He said the mill was bombed, so it must be true. He wouldn't lie, right? "

After dealing with He Daqing, He Yuzhu turned to look at the three Jia and Zhang families.

"Aunt Yi, Aunt Liu, Aunt Zhang,

I think you shouldn't worry about Uncle Yi, Uncle Liu and the others.
If something really happened to them at the steel mill, a large number of them would have died, so you don’t have to worry about them being too lonely down there.”

After hearing what He Yuzhu said, Jia Zhang and the others cried even more sadly.
I didn't even have the energy to scold him.
Xu Fugui and his son secretly gave him a thumbs up, which made He Daqing and Yan Bugui roll their eyes.

However, He Yuzhu didn't notice the actions of the others at this time.
At this moment, he was silently checking how many places had experienced big explosions, preparing to go out and pick up trash when Peking was peacefully liberated.

If only one or two complete cannons could be assembled,
Then he will send it.

You have to know that heavy artillery is much more valuable than trucks and tanks. A few of them are enough to exchange for a life-saving coin.
