Chapter 218 Farewell Book
"When you saw this letter, your husband and I were no longer here.
Dear, don't cry!
I am now ordered to defend Jinshan. The Japanese army is powerful and the troops are heading towards the west of Shanghai. Now I am fighting alone and determined to sacrifice all of them to repay the country's nurturing! I will die for the country and be extremely honorable!
I had no worries at first, but I just thought about my parents and wives, and felt a little sad.
I have two things to tell you. First, when Lin'er grows up, he will still take revenge as a soldier as his father and be loyal to the country! Second, after the war is victorious, you should choose your own choice if you stay in Hunan or return to Jiangxi!
I have been in military service for more than ten years and have many things to let you down. Now I should say goodbye and feel deeply grateful.
When I write here, I can’t see the smoke of gunpowder close to me. It’s all about your gentle appearance. I can’t live with you in this life, which is a great hatred for the rest of my life.
Farewell forever, my love!
Zhang Yi wrote it only in the 26th year of the Republic of China.”
Dan Tai Mingyue almost finished reading the whole family book with a strong crying voice, but after reading it, she was already in tears.
A ruthless person may not be a true hero. Who says that mercy is not a husband?
This letter from the family written by the colonel leader who was about to die for his country did not have much enthusiasm to defend the country. Instead, the words were mostly filled with love for his wife at home, but it made the other three tough guys all look in tears.
The eyes of the soldier, who had stopped his sad voice, were filled with tears again.
At this point, Qiang Sanwa's identity has no objection. If the Japanese army could produce such a letter to their family, it can only be said that China was not unjustly defeated.
What's more, the communication battalion has already reported the result of confirmation with the 62nd Division. The commander of the 367th Regiment under their jurisdiction is Zhang Yi.
"You Captain Zhang, you are so good!" General Wu personally folded the last letter written in blood, and put the two colonel seals solemnly on the hands of the top soldiers. "You are so good, the battle report you brought is very important to us. On behalf of the Songjiang Army, we pay tribute to all the soldiers of the 367th Regiment of the 62nd Division of Jinshan County."
Taking a step back, the two generals and the three Tang swords who had already worn the lieutenant colonel's seal stood attentively and paid tribute to a senior military officer.
It was a tribute to the soldier who abides by military orders and runs barefoot for dozens of kilometers, and to the captain who had already died.
The Private obviously didn't expect that he would have such courtesy.
As the orderly soldier of the colonel commander, Qiang Sanwa had seen the general, but he just met him, but no general would take the lead in salute to him.
However, he also knew that the military salutes of the two lieutenant generals and a lieutenant colonel were not only to him personally, but to all the brothers who died in Jinshan County.
While some of them were helpless, the tears that Qiang Sanwa had endured were still falling.
But this time, it was not just because of sadness, but because of excitement.
At least, his 800 brothers who died in the 367th Regiment of Jinshan County did not die in vain. The two lieutenant generals and commanders were paying tribute to them.
"You can rest in the command center!" Tang Dao looked at the top corps who were covered in scars and in a state of not very stable mental state, and said with a gentle voice. "Your troops will fight to the death and fight for the entire army for a rare ten hours of bravery. My Songjiang Front Command will convey to the 62nd Division and report to the War Zone Command. I believe you and them will have rewards and pensions for application."
"Thank you, sir!" The top military officer focused on his head.
After hesitating for a moment, I thought it was obvious that the highest position in the command center was General Wu, the commander of the 67th Army. The top sergeant looked at him bravely, "Sir, can you exchange my bonus for something?"
"You said!" General Wu frowned slightly, but still nodded.
Although the top corps did not embarrass the Hunan Army, the way he was rewarded at such a pure and despised.
"I want to change a horse!" The soldier's eyes were full of expectations.
"If you want a horse? Do you want to go to the 62nd Division? Okay, I'm sure, but you have to listen to Deputy Director Tang. Let's take a night off first. I'll send someone to see you tomorrow." General Wu's brows slightly.
As long as he doesn't ask for money and goods, he is worthy of his previous military courtesy. But if he doesn't give him a horse now, it's not that the lieutenant general is stingy and reluctant to let go, but, with the spirit and physical condition of this high-ranking soldier, he is in the dark, and I'm afraid he won't be able to go where he wants to go.
"It's not going back to the division headquarters!" The soldier bit his lip and shook his head, gently putting the package he was holding in his hand on the conference table. "I have completed the military order of the Tuanzhou. He also asked the commander to forward his relics to Mrs. Yu Tuanzhou. I want to go to Jinshan County. The brothers are all there, and the Tuanzhou is also there. I want to find them."
There was silence inside the house again.
They were all soldiers, so of course they could feel the death aspirations emitted by the top squad, which might have been decided the moment he left.
If they were them, they would probably have witnessed the entire regiment die in battle, but they were ordered to escape and send a report, and they would have the intention of not wanting to live alone.
Seeing that the two lieutenant generals in the house did not speak, they obviously had no intention of redeeming the reward. The stubborn and stubborn soldier with a bit of Hunanese simply stopped talking, and stood at the two generals, Tang Dao, and the female soldier who covered his mouth and tried not to cry, and then moved out with some difficulty.
The sky outside the door was as dark as ink, but there were "stars" on the ground. The thin, thin and slow and difficult back of the soldier made Dan Tai Mingyue stop.
She wanted to persuade him, but she didn't know how to speak, but she knew that if she just let him go like this, she would not be able to forgive herself in her life.
"Soldier, you want to die and be with your commander and your brothers is your wish, and I have no choice but to stop you.
But I hope you understand that your leader asked you to leave is not just asking you to send a battle report, he also hopes that you will be alive and your regiment will be gone, but the spirit of your 367th regiment is still there. As long as the spirit is still there, the 367th regiment will be rebuilt sooner or later.
But if you die like this, you certainly comforted yourself, but who will inherit the spirit of the 367th Regiment? Who can know the truth that the 367th Regiment would rather die than retreat?" Tang Dao looked at the back of the top soldier who was stubbornly moving forward and suddenly spoke.
The soldier's body suddenly stiffened.
In the dark curtains and the fires everywhere, it is like a solidified statue.
The few people in the room stopped talking, watched quietly, and waited silently.
Waiting for the soldiers to recover from the pain is also the responsibility of the soldiers.
Soldiers must learn to endure sacrifice and suffer the pain of their comrades' departure. Without such steel and iron bones, how can they become the backbone of the country and nation that is in storm?
When war comes, soldiers must be as hard as a rock and weak as they are, and must learn to remove them from the dictionary.
This is cruel, but it is the choice of war.
No need to comfort, because no one can comfort.
The sorrow of all the robes being killed in battle is the sorrow that only those who are in it can understand.
The pain that would rather die than live is the pain that only his own heart knows.
Sometimes, living is harder than dying, and living is the true courage.
Tang Dao, I hope this soldier will be brave.
After a long time, the soldier finally turned around with a little expectation on his face.
"Sir, can our group really be rebuilt?"
"Yes, I will personally send a power to your Commander Tao, and in the name of the 67th Army and the 43rd Army, including the Songjiang Security Regiment, and the 34,000 officers and soldiers of the Fourth Battalion, he would like to rebuild the hero's 367th Regiment." General Wu took a heavy step and solemnly promised to the corps.
This may be the first time this lieutenant general, who had made such a solemn promise to a soldier, had made such a solemn promise.
There is nothing else, because he is worth it.
Chapter completed!
