Chapter 175: Die for the country

Xu Sansi lit a cigarette casually, his face covered with mud. Standing behind him were less than a hundred soldiers with mud and various stolen goods on his face. For more than a month, their "Public Manchukuo Army" has been staying nearby, sending several soldiers to observe the preface and battle situation every day in order to make corresponding countermeasures.

What they need to do is to do everything they can to stop the war, and hope to buy more time for the rear. In the past month, they have lost more than a dozen soldiers, but their bodies cannot be brought back to Jinxi. When they chose this most mysterious unit in China, they have already made this preparation.

Xu Sansi and his comrades had just buried a sacrificed comrade. Then Xu Sansi took out the map of his body, drew a circle on the burial location of the soldier, and wrote his name on the map. This is the eleventh name on the map. Finally, he marked the grave that was no different from other things, so that the soldier could be accurately found in the future.

"Brother, brothers are leaving. Don't feel too lonely here. If you really can't stand the loneliness, you can take two more steps. Xiao Gao is waiting for you less than ten kilometers west of you." Xu Sansi inserted the cigarette in his hand on the grave. Although there were few special forces, the comrades between the soldiers were the deepest.

They are in the dark all the time and face dangers all the time. They are not like other troops, and there are tens of thousands of troops to rely on behind them. They are far away from the main troops, and only these comrades around them can rely on. Originally, before performing this mission, since everyone was the elite of each unit, they would inevitably convince each other, but after experiencing this battle that will never be recorded in history, they formed an invisible and intangible cohesion.

In Pingyuli, you may see them quarreling with each other, even if it is a one-on-one fight, but if you go up to provoke them at this time, you will definitely be the attack of the two of them. After defeating you, they will continue to do what they were doing.

"Okay, brothers, the military throne has ordered us brothers to go back. Brothers can't be here to accompany you, but don't worry, I believe you will be able to go home soon. Then I will pick you up in person. Only a dozen of you will stay here on such a large area of ​​land. In the future, you will have to be carried into a group. Don't show off when you meet a large number of Japanese devils. If you can beat them, you will run away. When our brothers and others come in the future, we will deal with Japanese devils together." Xu Sansi wiped the tears from his face and said unbearably.

This is a force created by him. He knew the surname of every soldier in the army and the background of each soldier. At the same time, he also had different emotions for each soldier. Although he really hoped that these brothers could survive like this, this is war. Since it is war, people must die. Today is your death, and tomorrow may be his turn, and the day after tomorrow will be my turn. The only thing they can do is kill a few more Japanese while they are still alive.

Su Dao ordered the troops that were deeply behind enemy lines to start evacuation last night. The battlefield situation here has achieved the expected results. The Ninety-Nine Army is also sure to deal with the subsequent war. For the Ninety-Nine Army, which already has a base and supplementary troops, the ally of the Soviet Red Army is not that important.

Moreover, based on the war over the past month, it can be roughly judged that the Soviet Red Army was not as powerful as imagined. So far, the Kwantung Army has lost about 15,000 people, while the Soviet Red Army has suffered more losses than the Kwantung Army, and has reached 20,000 people.

As for the later generations, the battle of Nomonkan, which was boasted as mythical, there are no convincing conditions. Some people may mention that millions of Soviet Red Army entered the Northeast in the later period and defeated the Kwantung Army in a few weeks. Of course, this incident was definitely true in the later period, but please don’t forget that the current Soviet Red Army is still low in combat effectiveness, and since the Kwantung Army has not yet transferred a large number of troops to the inner and Pacific battlefields, the combat effectiveness of the Kwantung Army troops at this time is higher than that of the Soviet Red Army.

The millions of Soviet Red Army who entered the Northeast in the later period were basically veterans from the western battlefield. When they got used to fighting with the Germans, they would fight with some miscellaneous divisions of the Japanese. Victory was naturally no problem. The strength of the Kwantung Army in the later period was far inferior to the past, because the base camp transferred all the elite Kwantung Army to the Pacific battlefield.

Just as Xu Sansi and Wild Wolf led their troops back to Jinxi, thousands of miles away from Henan, hundreds of soldiers dressed in postal deliverymen's clothes unloaded bicycles from trucks. After each of them received letters from a local area from their superiors, they each took the map to head towards their destination. At the same time, the same scene also appeared in Shandong, Jiangsu, Anhui and other places.

"Hello uncle, is Han Shicheng's family in this village?" Song Wen rode a bicycle for a long time and finally arrived at the village mentioned on the map. However, in this era where there were no road signs or village signs, he could only stop and ask the local people.

The hundreds of postmen who delivered the letter were all composed of soldiers from the 99th Army's military guards and some military police. At this time, each of them carried huge amounts of cash on their bicycles. Of course, since these people were selected to deliver the letters, Su Dao naturally had his reasons, and he was sure to control these soldiers and would not escape with the money.

"Yes, I am his second uncle, a young man, has Shicheng sent a letter?" The old man who was called the old man by Song Wen was less than fifty years old. Due to his hard work all year round and his lack of food and clothing, he looked like he was about in his sixties on the surface.

"What is your name? What is Han Shicheng's father's name? How many uncles, aunts and aunts does Han Shicheng have?" Hearing that he was the family member who was sending the letter, Song Wen couldn't help but secretly be prepared. Faced with the huge pension, he had to give it to the direct kin of the fallen soldiers. If the money was cheated, he would not be able to face the fallen soldiers.

"My name is Han Ertian, Shicheng's father is Han Santian, and there is Han Datian and an aunt Han Shuzhen. Shicheng is the eldest of the family, and there is a younger brother named Han Shizhong and his sister Han Pingfen. There are only a few kisses." Han Ertian told his family's name and relationship without thinking.

"Uncle, we have regulations here that the letter must be handed over to the designated person. Can you take me to Han Shicheng's family?" Song Wen looked at the names on the back of the envelope, and they all met Han Ertian's number. Then he breathed a sigh of relief. He finally found the first person to deliver the letter, but the letter had to be handed over to his parents, or younger brothers and sisters.

Han Ertian responded with a smile, and then took Song Wen to Han Shicheng's home. As an uneducated person, it is not the busy farming period now. Since Han Shicheng joined the army, his family has gradually become better. His younger brother Han Shizhong was also discussed by his family to send him to the county town to study. It is almost time to get off school, so Han Ertian stood here and waited for Han Shizhong. Unexpectedly, he was waiting for news about his eldest nephew.

When entering Han Shicheng's home, Song Wen did not feel much emotion. This home is no different from most civilians in China today. Two adobe houses and one yard, and the dilapidated gates formed a home. As soon as he entered the yard, Song Wen heard a violent cough.

When I entered the house, I saw clearly that an old man who looked like he was lying on the bed and coughing constantly. There was a girl in her sixteens and seventeens next to me holding a bowl of medicine and thinking about how to let her father drink it.

Han Ertian explained that Han Shicheng's father was infected with cold and cold two months ago. No matter how he cured the disease, it was not good. The situation is getting worse and worse now. Even when he went to the ground, he had to support him. After Han Shicheng wrote a letter, Han Santian forced himself to sit up. He missed his son who had been away from home for half a year, especially during the day when he was sick, he missed his eldest son every day.

Since there was no one in the house who could read the letter, everyone asked Song Wen to help me read the letter. The letters were usually sent by the letters. Song Wen, who couldn't bear it, slowly opened the letter and told a huge lie to a seriously ill old man, telling them that Han Shicheng was very good in the army, and how much weight had he gained, etc.

Later, Song Wen pulled Han Shicheng's second uncle and sister outside the house, and then read out the real content on the letter himself.

"Dear Mr. Han Santian, first of all, I would like to express my gratitude to you on behalf of the Chinese Army. Thank you for training such an excellent soldier for the Chinese Army. Han Shicheng performed very bravely on the battlefield. He had saved his comrades three times and was a soldier who I respect very much. But now I can only regret to notify you that your son Han Shicheng was unfortunately killed in the northern front battlefield of the Jinxi Battle on September 22, 2018, and was in the Kwantung Army's poison gas battle. We express our regret.

Due to the spread of poison gas, your son's body cannot be transported back to his hometown, but we will hold a memorial ceremony in Jinxi on the day of the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan, and you will be invited to attend. At the same time, we will give you and your family financially. Han Shicheng joined the army for seven months. According to the new regulations of the 99th Army, your son's military pay should be 30 yuan per month, and the pension should be five times the total of the seven-month military pay, so the army should pay you a pension of 1,050 yuan. Finally, please keep this notice of death. After five years, the welfare changes will be changed. You can use this notice to go to the 99th Army's headquarters to handle the latest welfare benefits. Your son's commander, Major General Liu Sanpao, commander of the 766th Division of the 99th Army."

When Song Wen finished reading this death notice, Han Shicheng's sister had become a tearful person, and Han Shicheng's younger brother Han Shizhong stood not far away. At this moment, this news meant a huge disaster for this family. They lost their only labor force and a relative.
