Chapter 220 Farewell Family Letter

"When you read this letter, your husband and I are no longer here.

Honey, don't cry!

I am now ordered to guard Jinshan, the Japanese army is powerful, and the soldiers are approaching Huxi. Now I am fighting alone, and I am determined to sacrifice all in order to repay the country's upbringing!It is an honor to die for the country!
Originally, I had nothing to worry about, I just thought about my parents and wife, and felt a little bit of sympathy.

I have two things to tell you. First, when Lin'er grows up, it is better to be a soldier to avenge his father and be loyal to the country!Second, after the victory of the war, you should choose to stay in Hunan or return to Jiangxi!
I have owed you a lot in my military career for more than ten years, and I am deeply grateful to say goodbye now.

Husband writes here, there is no gunpowder smoke that is close at hand, it is all about your gentle appearance, it is my life's great hatred that I can't die with you in this life.

Farewell, my love!
Zhang Yi's last pen was written in the 26th year of the Republic of China. "

Tantai Mingyue almost finished reading the entire family letter with a strong crying sound, but after reading it, she was already sobbing.

Ruthless is not necessarily a real hero, who said that a pity is not a husband?
This letter to his wife, written by the head of the colonel who is about to die, does not contain much impassioned defense of the family and the country. On the contrary, there is a lot of love for his wife in the text, but the other three tough guys all have tears in their eyes. Hot tears.

The eyes of the first class soldier who had already stopped crying were filled with tears again.

So far, there is no longer any objection to the identity of Qiang Sanwa.If the Japanese army could concoct such a letter to the family, it can only be said that China's defeat was not unjust.

What's more, the results of the confirmation with the 62nd Division have been sent from the communication battalion, and the name of the head of the 367th regiment under their jurisdiction is Zhang Yi.

"You, Commander Zhang, are doing well!" General Wu Zhong folded the last letter written in blood with his own hands, together with the two colonel's collar badges, and solemnly placed it in the hands of the senior soldier. "You are also 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 62th Regiment of the 367nd Division in Jinshan County."

Taking a step back, the two generals and Tang Dao, who had already worn the collar badge of the lieutenant colonel, stood at attention and solemnly saluted a senior soldier.

It was not only a tribute to the soldier who abided by the military order and ran for dozens of kilometers with his bare feet, but also a tribute to his colonel who had already died.

The corporal obviously didn't expect to be treated like this.

As the orderly of the colonel's head, Qiang Sanwa had met the general before, but it was just a meeting, and no general would salute him first.

However, he also knew that the military salutes of the two lieutenant generals and one lieutenant colonel were not just for him personally, but for all the brothers who died in the battle in Jinshan County.

While returning the salute to the three of them at a loss, the tears Qiang Sanwa held back finally fell down.

But this time, it wasn't just sadness, it was excitement.

At least, his 367 brothers from the 800 regiment who died in Jinshan County did not die in vain, and the two lieutenant generals were paying tribute to them.

"Just rest in the command post!" Tang Dao said softly, looking at the first class soldier who was covered in scars and his mental state was not very stable. "Your unit fought to the death and won the rare ten-odd hours of bravery for the whole army. My Songjiang front-line headquarters will pass it on to the 62nd Division and report to the theater headquarters. I believe that you and them will have applicable rewards and pensions."

"Thank you, sir!" The corporal nodded heavily.

He hesitated for a moment, and after thinking about it, he could see that Lieutenant General Wu, the commander of the 67th Army, had the highest status in the headquarters. The senior soldier bravely looked at him, "Sir, can I exchange my bonus for something?"

"Say it!" Wu Zhongjiang frowned slightly, but still nodded.

Although the first class soldier didn't embarrass the Hunan Army, the way Chi Guoguo was rewarded at the scene made him a little disgusted.

"I want to change a horse!" The corporal's eyes were full of expectation.

"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, rest for a night first, and I'll send someone to take you there tomorrow." General Wu frowned slightly.

As long as he didn't ask for money or goods, he was more or less worthy of his previous military salute.However, not giving him a horse now is not because the lieutenant general is stingy and reluctant, but because of the mental and physical condition of this senior soldier, and in the dark night, he may not be able to go where he wants to go.

"Not back to the division headquarters!" The first class soldier bit his lip and shook his head, and gently put the package in his hand on the conference table. "I have completed the military order of Tuan Zuo. Please ask the officer to hand over his relics to Mrs. Tuan Zuo. I am going to Jinshan County. The brothers are all there, and Tuan Zuo is also there. I am going to find them."

The house was silent again.

They are all soldiers, of course they can feel the death will emanating from the upper class soldier, which may have been decided the moment he left.

If it were them, they would probably feel like they didn't want to live alone when they saw the whole regiment died in battle, but they were ordered to flee to deliver the battle report.

Seeing that the two lieutenant generals in the room did not say a word, it was obvious that they had no intention of exchanging rewards. The upper class soldier with a bit of Hunanese stubbornness stopped talking at all, and stood at attention, covering his mouth with the two generals and Tang Dao. The female soldier who made herself cry out saluted, and then walked out with some difficulty.

The sky outside the door was as black as ink, but the ground was dotted with 'stars', and the back of the thin and thin senior soldier walking slowly and with difficulty made Tantai Mingyue stop walking.

She wanted to persuade him, but she didn't know how to speak, but she knew that if she let him go like this, she would never be able to forgive herself in this life.

"Soldier, you want to die and be with your regiment commander and brothers. This is your wish, and I can't stop it.

But I hope you understand that when your regiment leader asked you to leave, he not only asked you to send the battle report, but also wanted you to live. Your regiment is gone, but the spirit of your 367 regiment is still there. As long as the spirit is still there, 367 Sooner or later the regiment will be rebuilt.

But if you die like this, you are certainly comforting yourself, but who will pass on the spirit of the 367 regiment?Who can know the truth that the 367 regiment would rather die than retreat? "Tang Dao looked at the back of the senior soldier who was moving forward stubbornly, and said suddenly.

The body of the first class soldier froze suddenly.

In the darkness and the fire everywhere, it is like a solidified statue.

The few people in the room stopped talking, watched quietly, and waited silently.

Waiting for the corporal to recover from his pain is also a soldier's duty.

Soldiers must learn to bear sacrifices and bear the pain of leaving comrades-in-arms. Without such steel and iron bones, how can they become the backbone of a country and nation in a precarious situation.

Soldiers, since the war comes, they must be as hard as a rock, weak, and must learn to remove them from the dictionary.

This is cruel, but it is the choice of war.

Don't be comforted, because no one can comfort you.

The sadness of all Paoze's death in battle is a sadness that only those who live in it can comprehend.

The pain that would rather die than live is also the pain that only his own heart can know.

Sometimes, living is harder than dying, and living is the real bravery.

Tang Dao, I hope this soldier will be brave.

After a long time, the first class soldier finally turned around blankly, with a look of anticipation on his face.

"Sir, can our regiment really be rebuilt?"

"Yes, I will personally send a telegram to your Master Tao, and in the name of the 67 officers and soldiers of the 43th Army and 367rd Army, including the Songjiang Security Regiment and the Sixing Battalion, I will request him to rebuild the heroic [-]th Regiment." General Wu Zhong took a heavy step. , Solemnly promise to the first class.

This may be the first time that this lieutenant general in the army has made such a solemn promise to a soldier.

Without him, because he is worth it.

Behind him, he exchanged nearly a thousand lives for the precious twelve hours of the 367 regiment.
