However, receiving a reply does not seem to be a good thing, because the letter does not bring all good news.

Xiao Zhejiang received the letter. At first, he was full of surprise, and then he took it with surprise and joy and couldn't wait to spread it out... But before he could read a few lines, he fell to his knees and cried loudly on the ground.

The fellow villager ran up and took the letter and saw it, and saw it skewedly: "Brother Zhejiang Xiao, I haven't heard from you for nearly a year, and I thought you had died bravely. My father was injured in a bombing by the Japanese. He left after he had no money for treatment for more than a month. Before leaving, he kept saying your name, hoping to see you again. In order to save food for us brothers and sisters, my mother ate Guanyin soil by herself, but she ended up swelling. In order to support her two sisters, I also went to the army to make a living..."

The younger brother from Little Zhejiang is only twelve years old, and a twelve-year-old child goes to join the army... I'm afraid he is not as tall as the gun bar!

The hooligan also received a letter. After reading it, he sat aside, smoking cigarettes one by one without saying a word.

The soldiers all knew that what he received was certain was not good news, so they didn't dare to ask more questions. The old squad leader silently went over and patted his shoulder and said, "Look out, these days... that's it!"

The rogue only said "yes".

Later I learned that his wife was pregnant before the gangster set off. He always wanted to know whether his wife gave birth to a boy or a girl, but he just received this letter and found out... Because of malnutrition and lack of money to treat her, his wife died of dystrophy and had no money to save her child half a year ago, and the child could not be saved.

In fact, the fellow villager also received a letter, which was written to him by his father. The letter told the fellow villager that his brother who joined the army was beaten to death by the Japanese on the front line. It is said that he was bombed to death by cannons and left nothing... This is very common in the anti-Japanese battlefield, because **** often collapsed at one touch when facing the Japanese army, so he basically couldn't rob the body. Sometimes he didn't even know how to sacrifice or whether he had sacrificed. He could only report a "missing".

But the fellow villager only sighed and said nothing.

Because he knew that he was a battalion commander now. If he was the battalion commander, he would perform the same as the soldiers at this time. Then how could he lead this battalion?!

There are many things like this, so that the correspondents were afraid to send these letters again later, because most of the news sent to the soldiers was bad news.

This is actually not surprising. At this time, there was a shortage of supplies in China under the Japanese's blockade, so countless people who were frozen to death, died of illness, and starved to death. In addition, the Japanese still frequently attacked, bombed, and famine... So there was a bad news in almost every letter, and there were very few people who reported their safety. It was even possible that they did not say anything to avoid worrying relatives who were fighting abroad.

However, even if the soldiers knew that there would be no good news when they received the letter, they would still want to know the situation of their families, so they kept staring at the correspondent and finished sending the letter.

The soldiers who received the letter were crying and laughing, but the soldiers who did not receive the letter were heartbroken and felt unspeakable because they would think: Why can't they receive the letter? It's not that something happened to their families, right?! Where are they?!

So the whole army was a little upset and angry after such a riot.

Perhaps only Zhang Chi is calm and composed, because he knows very well that his family will not send him a letter. Even if he sends a letter, it will take decades to receive it.

Zhang Chi secretly felt something was wrong with the impact of the soldiers after receiving the letter... If this was the case, could he still pull the troops to the Pacific Ocean to fight with the Japanese?

But Zhang Chishuang is hard to say. Since ancient times, under the influence of Confucianism, the Chinese people pay the most attention to family affection. There is a slogan: "Only a country can you have a family", but Zhang Chi believes that what is more practical should be "Only a family can you have a country". This is not only because the country is composed of ordinary and ordinary families, and the family is the basic unit of the country, so naturally there is a family first. It is also because of the soldiers who are in the army and fight against the Japanese... In their hearts, who are not for their family and for their relatives to survive 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 able to keep your own life; if you are prosperous, you will take care of the world." Now is the time to be poor, that is, you will be able to keep your own life alone. It is not easy to be able to take good care of your own family and protect your relatives. Who would still think of the country?

A very real portrayal is... After the war, when the Japanese army recalled fighting against the Chinese Expeditionary Force, it was strange why the Chinese army would always shout "injured" when fighting.

In fact, this is a misunderstanding of the Japanese army. The soldiers did not shout "injured", but "go home"... The Chinese "injured" is very similar to the Japanese "injured" (keiga).

So it is such a unit, a unit that always believes in "everything is to fight home". Now it is about to fight home but cannot go home. There are even a considerable number of them who finds that the "home" they are fighting for is no longer there. So what choices will they make or what ideas will they have next?!

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

Because these soldiers followed them to fight bloody battles without hesitation, they trusted and respected themselves, but what they could give them... was just a void, empty "fight to the Japanese's nest".

To put it bluntly, what can I do if I really "fight to the Japanese's nest" in the end? Can I return their families? Can they reunite with their relatives again?

It is not certain that when they were walking on the road to "fight to the Japanese man's nest", many family members and relatives died under the Japanese butcher's knife, and even they themselves might fall on the road to "fight to the Japanese man's nest".

Therefore, Zhang Chi was ready to prepare his soldiers to come and make a request to return to China.

Zhang Chi made plans and would do his best to help those soldiers in need of their families return to their country and return to their families.

But what surprised Zhang Chi was that no one asked, none of them.
