However, receiving a reply does not seem to be a good thing, because it is not all good news.

Xiao Zhejiang received the letter, at first he was full of surprise, and then he was surprised and happy to take the letter and couldn't wait to spread it...... But before he could read a few lines, he fell to his knees and cried.

The fellow villagers ran up to take the letter and looked at it, only to see that the letter was written crookedly: "Brother Zhejiang Xiao, I haven't heard from you for nearly a year, and I thought you died heroically." My father was wounded in a bombing by the devils, and because he had no money for medical treatment, he insisted on leaving after more than a month, and he kept chanting your name before leaving, hoping to see you again. In order to save food for our brothers and sisters, my mother ate Guanyin soil by herself, but she died of swelling. In order to feed my two younger sisters, I also went to the army......"

Xiao Zhejiang's younger brother was only twelve years old, and the twelve-year-old child went to serve in the army...... I'm afraid it's not as high as the barrel of a gun!

The hooligan also received a letter, and after reading it, he sat on the sidelines, smoking cigarette after cigarette and not speaking.

The soldiers knew that what he received was definitely not good news, so they didn't dare to ask more, but the old squad leader silently went over and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Look at it, this year...... That's it! ”

The rascals only said "um".

Later, he learned that his wife was pregnant before the hooligans left, and he always wanted to know if his wife gave him a boy or a girl, but he just received the letter to find out...... Because of malnutrition and lack of money for treatment, my wife died of dystocia half a year ago, and the child could not be saved.

In fact, the townsman also received a letter from his father, in which he told the townspeople that his brother, who had joined the army, was killed by devils on the front line shortly after, and it was said that he was killed by artillery, leaving nothing behind...... This is a very common thing on the battlefield of resistance against Japan, because **** is often a one-touch collapse in the face of the Japanese army. Therefore, it is basically impossible to grab the body, and sometimes they don't even know how to sacrifice or not, and often they can only report a "missing".

But the townsfolk only sighed and said nothing.

Because he knows that he is now a battalion commander, and if he, as a battalion commander, behaves the same as the soldiers at this time, then how can this battalion be led?!

There were so many such things that the correspondent was a little afraid to send them any longer, because most of the news that came to the soldiers was bad news.

This is actually not surprising, at this time, the country was blocked by devils and there was a shortage of materials. So the ones who froze to death, died of disease, and starved to death can be said to be countless, plus the devils also frequently attacked and bombed, and then there was a famine...... As a result, there is bad news in almost every letter, and it is rare to report that it is safe, and it may even be that it is not to worry about the relatives who are fighting abroad.

However, even though the soldiers knew that most of the letters they received would not have good news, they still wanted to know about their families, so they kept staring at the correspondent to finish the letter.

The soldiers who received the letter wept and laughed, but the soldiers who did not receive the letter felt an indescribable loss in their hearts. Because they wonder, "Why can't they receive the letter?" It can't be something happened to the family, right?! Where the hell are they?!

So the whole army was a little upset and irritated after such a fuss.

Among them, maybe only Zhang Chi is still calm, because he knows very well that his family will not write to him, even if he does...... I'm afraid it will take decades to receive it.

Regarding the impact of the soldiers after receiving the letter, Zhang Chi secretly felt that something was wrong...... If that's the state. Can you still pull the troops to the Pacific Ocean to fight the devils?

But Zhang Chishuang is not good to say anything, the Chinese have paid the most attention to family affection under the influence of Confucianism since ancient times, and there is a slogan: "Only when there is a country can there be a home", but Zhang Chi believes that it should be more practical "Only when there is a family can there be a country". This is not only because the country is composed of ordinary, ordinary and ordinary families, and the family is the basic unit of the country. And even more because of the soldiers who fought as soldiers...... in their hearts. How many people are not for their families and relatives to go to the battlefield to fight with the devil until now?!

Are they for the country?

The country is too far away for them, as the saying goes, "if you are poor, you will be good to yourself, and if you are good, you will take care of the world", now is the time to be poor, that is, when you are alone, it is not easy to take care of your own home and protect your relatives, who will think of the country?

A very true portrayal is ...... After the war, when the Japanese recalled fighting the Chinese Expeditionary Force, they wondered why the Chinese army always shouted "wounded" and rushed forward when fighting.

In fact, this was a misunderstanding of the Japanese army, and the soldiers shouted not "wounded", but "go home...... The Chinese word for "home" is similar to the Japanese word for "wounded" (keiga).

So it is such a unit, a unit that always believes in "everything is to fight home", and now it looks like it is about to fight home but can't go home, and even a considerable number of them find that the "home" they are fighting for no longer exists, so what kind of choices or thoughts will they make next?!

Zhang Chi didn't know, Zhang Chi only knew that at this time, he suddenly felt a little sorry for them.

Because these warriors follow themselves in the bloody battle without hesitation, they trust themselves and respect themselves, but they can give them ...... But it's just a vain and empty "hit the devil's nest".

To put it mildly, even if you really "hit the devil's nest" in the end, what can you do? Will they be able to get their families back? Can they be reunited with their loved ones?

Perhaps, just as they were walking on the road to "hit the devil's nest", many family members, relatives and friends died under the devil's butcher's knife, and even they themselves may fall on the road to "hit the devil's nest".

Therefore, Zhang Chi was ready to prepare his soldiers to come and ask for their return to China.

Zhang Chi made plans and would do his best to help those fighters who were in difficulty at home to return to China and return to their families.

But what surprised Zhang Chi was ...... Not a single person came to ask for it, not a single one.

Later, Zhang Chi learned that it was precisely those letters that made the soldiers more confident in "hitting the devil's nest", because they knew one thing: the situation in the country has become so bad that it can no longer be delayed, and only by hitting the devil's nest can they rescue their relatives who are in dire straits.
