After reading the letter, Yue Xiangli was silent for a long time, and finally said only one sentence: "Good job."
He had lost count of how many suicide notes he had received, and he knew that the number of letters he had received was only a handful.
"Report!"
"Come in."
A soldier came in, saluted, and handed a piece of paper to Yue Xiangli, "Commander, this is a telegram from the commander-in-chief, asking our army to move eastward and cooperate with the Fourth and Seventh Armies in the North to annihilate the Japanese pirates and win a great victory to boost morale!"
"The commander-in-chief said that we must win at all costs and not lose!"
Yue nodded to Li and immediately sent someone out to call the officers and ask them to organize their troops and set off.
Standing on his horse holding the reins, the army behind him marched in an orderly manner. Yue Xiangli looked up at the sky and exhaled.
Ning Sangyu turned on the kettle, tilted his head back and took a sip of water.
Yue Xiangli turned to look at her and she handed him the kettle.
Yue Xiangli drank two sips of the water she opened, and then screwed the lid back on.
The two horses were running side by side, and he asked, "Sangsang, are you tired?"
Ning Sangyu twisted the reins and whispered, "I'm tired, but I dare not say I'm tired. If I can't hold on, then I will have no home."
"Then keep holding on, and you will win."
"Yes, we will win." After a while, she responded.
Ning Sangyu turned and asked, "Is Shen Dingwei in the Seventh Army in the North?"
"right."
"You haven't seen each other for twelve years. Time has passed so quickly, but it has also been particularly painful."
Wanjiezhu, who often entertains himself, is particularly silent in this world.
It can't do anything.
A month later, the three armies joined forces.
Shen Dingwei and Yue Xiangli hugged each other, "Xiangli, we haven't seen each other for twelve years. It's really hard to see each other once."
"Yeah, it's really hard." Yue smiled at Li, "It's a good thing we can see each other again."
After they finished talking, Ning Sangyu asked, "Where's Junyi? Is he in the back?"
Shen Dingwei was silent when he heard this, and after a long while he said, “Sacrificed.”
Ning Sangyu and Yue Xiangli were both stunned.
"She died last month. The enemy bombed our army. Junyi was transferring the wounded and was hit by a shell. I... couldn't save her." Shen Dingwei's eyes were red and his voice was a little choked.
"At first, I didn't dare tell the children that their mother was gone, nor did I dare let them see her incomplete body."
"Later, my little daughter asked me for her mother, and I could only point to the small grave and say, 'Mom is over there.'"
Shen Dingwei forced a smile, "She said she wanted to wait until the war was over so that we could go home together, but she didn't wait."
Seeing their silence, Shen Dingwei gathered his emotions and said, “It’s okay. I’ll take her back in the future and use my life to win this battle, so that more people can go home.”
Yue Xiangli patted his shoulder, speechless.
After the troops were assembled, the three armies discussed and decided that Yue Xiangli would be the commander-in-chief. The third army would face the enemy head-on to tie down the enemy's main firepower, while the fourth and seventh armies would surround the enemy from the flanks and annihilate the enemy with heavy firepower.
The sound of artillery fire was so deafening that it made people's ears buzz. Mud and sand were blown into the air by the artillery fire, and the trench was charred.
"Report! Commander, the enemy has sent tens of thousands of reinforcements to the north, and they are trying to break through and surround us with strong firepower!" A soldier with a bandage wrapped around his head came back from the front with the news, "The third division of the fourth route was killed! A gap has been opened on the northern front!"
Hua Zhige and other generals were standing next to Yue Xiangli, listening to him dispatch troops.
From time to time, mud and sand fell on the general's tent, and the generals' hats and the maps on the table were covered with sand.
"Commander, let me go. We must stop the enemy's conspiracy! Even if I have to use my body to block it, I will block this hole!" Hua Zhige said.
