Liu Lang held a message that had only been sent two minutes ago by the 20th Army, and looked into the distance slightly until the sound of footsteps rang behind him in a hurry.

"Captain Liu, you are looking for me! Is there any news about what Aunt Chang wants to inquire about?" Gu Xiaobai's voice came.

All the female soldiers of the Independent Regiment were asked to retreat during this expedition. The entire army was a man. The only woman was Gu Xiaobai, a war correspondent sent by the "Sakai Castle News", so she was sent to comfort the old lady who was exhausted.

As a woman who lost her parents in the war, Gu Xiaobai knew the pain of losing her relatives too much, so she could naturally understand the anxiety of the old woman surnamed Chang. A son in the army was still on the front line, which was enough to make people worry, but the aunt actually had four sons, including her husband, who were fighting against the Black Hawk Empire on the front line. If it were Gu Xiaobai herself, she wouldn't know how to survive the extremely worrying days.

Therefore, Gu Xiaobai was very concerned about the old woman surnamed Chang. After receiving a notice from Liu Lang that she had been to the temporary regiment headquarters, she immediately ran over excitedly. She hoped to bring good news to the aunt as soon as possible so that she could let go of the good news of her worries.

But when Liu Lang turned his head, out of the unique sensitivity of women, Gu Xiaobai's heart suddenly sank.

He suddenly pinched the telegram in his hand. Liu Lang wanted to tell the truth about the war reporter who had already surged in his eyes, but he was a little hesitant. He was worried that this sad and cruel news would first defeat the woman in front of him who was only in his twenties.

Even he himself couldn't bear to read the message when he received it. It took him more than three minutes to read the message.

"Forget it, I'll go and talk to Aunt Chang in person!" Liu Lang hesitated for a while and finally made a decision. "You can record what you see and hear, but I ask you in my personal name not to publish any of the words you have today in the newspaper, whether it is the 21st Army or the family affairs of Aunt Chang. The 21st Army is not what you see today. It is not a crime of war for such a low morale."

"Why?" Gu Xiaobai was slightly stunned and followed Liu Lang. "If Aunt Chang's family joined the army to defend the country, it would definitely attract the attention of the upper class. It would be a great thing for her, and the local government would definitely take good care of her."

Yes, from the perspective of reporter Gu Xiaobai, the affairs of the 21st Army did exceed her cognition, which made her feel the cruelty of the war before she approached the battlefield. A group of warriors who were willing to live and die on the battlefield became cowards who just wanted to escape quickly because of a retreat. But she knew the reason why Liu Lang did not allow her to report was that she did not want to damage the reputation of this once extremely brave unit, and for the sake of publicity, the kingdom at this time needed to unite and fight against the Black Hawk Empire Army, and no negative news was allowed to appear.

News needs truth, but politics needs only useful.

But the fact that Aunt Chang's family joined the army was a great thing for Aunt Chang herself, both in terms of political needs and for Aunt Chang herself. However, Liu Lang did not allow her to promote and report, which made Gu Xiaobai a little confused.

"As a soldier's family, Aunt Chang will naturally have someone to take care of her. However, she will not need to open her wounds bloodily in front of everyone." Liu Lang stopped slightly, looked at Gu Xiaobai deeply, and continued to walk forward.

"Soldiers' family..." Gu Xiaobai's face turned pale.

The smart woman quickly understood what Liu Lang meant. Someone from Aunt Chang's family had already died in battle, which was definitely not good news.

When Liu Lang walked to the car door, the old woman was covered with a green military blanket, her head resting on the back of the chair, and her gray hair was trembling slightly in the cold wind of November, but she slept extremely sweetly.

However, there was still a hint of sadness on her face. Obviously, even in her dream, she was worried about her sons.

Compared to Liu Lang and a group of soldiers, although they were also wearing military uniforms, young reporter Gu Xiaobai, as a rare young female soldier in the army, her company obviously made the old woman Qiu Tongren feel more at ease.

With her soft slander, the old woman after dinner whispered a few words, then she lowered her head, which was covered in gray hair, and fell asleep on a seat that was not soft.

Obviously, the concerns and fatigue of the sons over the past three thousand miles have exhausted all the spirit of the old woman. As soon as she relaxed, she would completely let go of all her defenses.

But undoubtedly, at this time, she is the most vulnerable, both mentally and physically.

When the soldiers around saw Liu Lang arrive, they all cast their attention salutes, no one speaks out or salutes. The rules of the Independent Regiment have always been that once they enter a state of war, from soldiers to officers, they cannot salute the commander. This is an iron rule.

But they quietly stood in two rows of human walls, blocking the attacks that might come from both sides, which was their most powerful protection for the superiors on the battlefield.

Liu Lang had tried hard to lighten his pace. He did not want to wake the old woman up from his sleep. Subconsciously, he also hoped that the news would be known to this mother a little later. Even if the army was about to set off.

The entire convoy suddenly became quiet because of Liu Lang's arrival.

Women have intuition, and men have the same.

The story of Aunt Chang has spread throughout the army. As the mother's son, everyone sincerely hopes that this mother can find her son. Even if she can't see her, as long as she can hear the news of their living. Aunt Chang's gray hair and wrinkled face reminded them of their mother. No one wants her mother to cry because she is worried about her son.

However, Liu Lang's somewhat tense face made the hearts of these extremely strong soldiers on the battlefield sink.

Is that poor mother going to lose her son? What a sad thing for her!

When Liu Lang stood in front of the car door and stood straight for only ten seconds, the old woman suddenly woke up. She turned her head around in a daze and watched, and subconsciously pulled the military blanket that made her body extremely warm. After a while, she realized the environment she was in. Then, she saw Liu Lang standing only one meter away in front of her.

"Sir, is there any news about my children and their father?" The old woman's eyes lit up suddenly and she asked without hesitation.

silence.

Liu Lang was silent.

Facing this mother, he didn't know how to speak. Even though he had already thought of more than a dozen solutions to answer her on the way he came.

The wind in November is already a little cold, but the wind in the southeast is particularly cold.

The cold made the old woman sitting in the car wearing a military blanket look a little whiter than when she was hit in the mud by the defeated soldiers.

"Sir, what do you think! Even if there is a child with his arms and legs, and my father and I are here, I can give them enough food when I go home." The old woman continued to ask with some difficulty.

"My son, this is a letter from Lieutenant General Yang, the 20th Army Army, who asked me to convey to you." Liu Lang took out a message from his palm with some difficulty, which was already soaked in sweat.

"Sister Chang, I was surprised to hear that my elder sister was walking thousands of miles away in the army to find her son. She ordered people to search according to the number and name provided, and found them one by one.

As the commander of the army, Yu should have brought them back to see you, but Yu could not do it. Your three sons and husbands, in the battle of Yu Haicheng, all died heroically..."

When Liu Lang thought of this, the old woman who was unconscious and pushed open the car door and walked out of the car turned weak and completely collapsed to the ground.

This news was so sad for her, who was lucky enough to be lucky, even if she had prepared herself for one or two sons to die in battle.

But the six words "all heroic sacrifices" shattered all her hopes.

Gu Xiaobai suddenly covered her mouth, and tears burst out from her eyes. At this point, she finally understood what Liu Lang meant just now. The huge trauma of the sacrifice of all three sons and husbands. Not to mention everyone knowing to express their condolences and mention them constantly, even if you think about it, it will be so painful that it will be difficult to breathe.

The soldiers were also shocked. They lowered their eyelids and no one dared to look at the old woman's almost completely desperate eyes.

Liu Lang's voice did not stop.

"Yu knows that if you tell you this news, you will be extremely sad. Yu's words are weak and powerless, and he cannot comfort your sorrow. However, Yu can only tell you all their deeds with an extremely painful mood. They sacrificed on the battlefield to save the country and nation, and their death is more important than Mount Tai.

Second Lieutenant Yang Dahu, who joined the army for six years, served as the platoon leader of the 1st platoon of the 2nd Company, 3rd Battalion, 34th Regiment, 33rd Division, and died in the battle on October 18.

Sergeant Yang Erniu, who joined the army for five years, served as the squad leader of the 2nd platoon of the 1st Company of the 1st Battalion of the 94th Regiment of the 33rd Division, and died in the battle on October 16.

The top soldier Yang Sanxi, who joined the army for three years, served as a soldier of the 3rd platoon and squad of the 3rd platoon of the 2nd Battalion of the 94th Regiment of the 33rd Division, died in the battle on October 15.

Senior Soldier Yang Chengcai, who joined the army for two years, served as a soldier in the kitchen squad of the 2nd Battalion of the 94th Regiment of the 33rd Division. He died in the battle on October 19. The soldier was carrying a pack of explosives and blew up a tank of Black Hawk Imperial Army.

On behalf of the 11,000 soldiers of the 20th Army, Yu Jin pays his highest salute to you. You are the hero's mother, and you are the hero's wife.

Please feel sorry for your grief to avoid harming your body. I would like to pay tribute to you!"

There was a quiet area around, and the quiet air seemed to solidify.

"My baby!" the old woman wailed and fell to the ground.

The sound was like a cuckoo weeping blood, which made people unbearable to hear it. Even a man with a heartfelt heart could not help but burst into tears at this time.

The soldiers around, including the 21st Army who heard about this, slowly surrounded this side.

They were in a heavy mood, but more at a loss. They didn't know how to comfort the woman who was crying. They could only express their tribute with their eyes.

Any woman who sacrifices her three sons and husband's lives to save the country's war is worthy of the salute of all soldiers.

The gang of defeated soldiers who were as sad as dogs, who had lost their energy on their faces, did not notice that in front of the woman who was crying on the ground, their bodies stood straight, as straight as when they were about to charge against the Black Hawk Empire Army on the battlefield.
