Chapter 1527 The Last Hope
No one can comfort her, or, no one knows how to comfort her.
All the words, in the face of the great grief of the mother losing three sons, were pale and barren, as the lieutenant general and the commander of the general rank said.
"All officers and soldiers of the Independent Regiment have saluted!" Liu Lang roared angrily, took the lead in raising his right arm high and saluted.
"All officers and soldiers of the 21st Army were there, salute!" Wang Zhang, who followed, also ordered.
All the soldiers present stood upright and saluted at the old woman who was helped up from the ground by Gu Xiaobai in the most uniform military posture they thought.
Military salutes have always been to the superiors and comrades, and rarely pay tribute to people outside the army. Even if there are, most of them are private, but they have never been as large as this, and they are again tribute to an ordinary citizen.
However, no one finds it abrupt.
Because, my son, paying tribute to my mother is the most reasonable.
"Sir, did my baby's father die behind my three babies? Did he even blow up a tank from the Black Hawk Empire?" The old woman who finally stopped crying looked at Liu Lang with her eyes curled up and asked softly.
"Yes!" Liu Lang felt a sudden soreness in his heart and nodded slightly.
Although he failed to experience the battlefield personally, Liu Lang could still see the traces of the heroic death of the father and son from the letter written by Yang Sen. Even Liu Lang could see the experience of the father and son joining the army.
The eldest brother was in the army for the longest time. After spending a long time in the army, he pulled his brothers into the army. At that time, there was nothing soldier to defend the country. Most of the old women once said, they were serving in the army. The three sons were all in the military camp, and the father was worried after all, and the last one entered the military camp, but he became the one with the lowest rank.
It was just a profession to support a family, but unexpectedly, he really went to the battlefield in a blink of an eye and died in the battlefield. Liu Lang knew that compared to the old woman who was so sad at this time, the cook who died in the battle on October 19 must be even more desperate and heartbroken.
On the first day of the war, the youngest third son died in battle, followed by the second son, and then the eldest son. No one could know that the father knew his three sons' deaths one after another for four consecutive days.
He used his own behavior to give everyone an answer. A cook who only used the time between battles to send steamed buns and baked buns to the battlefield carried explosives and packed them to blow up a Black Hawk Army tank.
He avenged his sons, and he used his own life.
"My baby's father has avenged the children." A ray of light flashed in the old woman's tearful eyes, and her hunched waist was straightened. "Sir, you are a good boss. God will bless you to live a hundred years old. The old woman will not disturb you and the army's journey."
"Auntie, where are you going?" Gu Xiaobai looked at the old woman who was about to walk and couldn't help but be stunned.
"Young sister! I'm going home. You have to be careful when fighting." The old woman tried hard to squeeze out a smile from her sad face, which was considered a thank you for the young reporter's care.
Her face was covered with wrinkles and sadness, and she tried to smile at a little girl who had given her warmth. This is her mother, a typical, authentic kingdom-style mother. Even when her heart was completely broken, she still maintained enough etiquette.
Gu Xiaobai burst into tears in an instant. She remembered her mother. In the sky, she must still be worried about herself who is heading to the battlefield! But she also walked onto the battlefield for her mother! Can mother understand this reason?
The mother wanted to protect her children, but her children had grown up. They left their parents' wings and carried their guns to the battlefield to protect their mother.
The ancient kingdom took root and sprouted from both sides of the Jiangning River thousands of years ago and grew vigorously. When countless nations disappeared silently in the long river of history, the kingdom never stopped.
Liu Lang's heart trembled suddenly. He knew that he was afraid that when he left his eyes, it was the time when this mother died.
Her eyes were clearly full of death.
The wooden hairpin she once scattered in her bun has quietly disappeared.
"Brother, don't leave quickly, you have a young son!" Liu Lang hurriedly stepped forward and said he would keep him.
Liu Lang knew that if a person wants to die, you want to keep him, not comfort him. A person with a withered heart, just peel off his inner wound bloodied and re-emerged. The best way is to give her hope.
Sure enough, when he heard Liu Lang's words, the old woman who had walked several steps suddenly paused, looked back at Liu Lang, and a sensation light flashed in her eyes, holding Liu Lang's arms that had stretched out, and her lips moved: "Sir, you can't lie to me, where is my youngest son?"
Her hand was so strong that even Liu Lang felt that his arm was hurt because he was scratched.
Obviously, this youngest son, who has no specific news, is the last concern of the old woman and the only reason to support her to continue to live.
"There is no news yet. The 20th Army has clearly informed that there is no Yang Silang, the 23rd Army, and the 22nd Army. Among the Qiu Tong Army who went out to fight in Qiu Tongzhou, only the 43rd Army did not call back. Before coming, I had already telegraphed the 43rd Army personally and asked Commander Guo of the 43rd Army to help me find it. It should not take too long. Please believe me, I will definitely help you find him. As long as he is still alive, I will definitely send him to you." Liu Lang replied sincerely.
"Really? My youngest son is still alive?"
"Yes, if the 20th Army did not have it, it must be in the 43rd Army. The 43rd Army came to Haicheng late and was always in the reserve team. Before he could go to the battlefield, he must be alive." Liu Lang nodded.
"Thank you, thank you, sir, I know that the Black Hawk Empire has been called, and it is not okay not to drive them out. I have committed a crime when I come to find my son. I don't ask you to bring him to me. I just want to hear his voice, just listen to him call me Mom." Tears gushed out from the old woman's eyes, and she asked for a sarcastic cry.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! A mother with four sons’ biggest request is just to have a son who can call her mother. However, the countless soldiers here find it difficult to satisfy her small wish, because her three sons have died in battle, and the last son is still alive and dead.
Tears blurred the eyes of all the soldiers present.
"I promise you with the reputation of a soldier!" Liu Lang took a step back and saluted the old woman again in awe. "I will arrange someone to send you to Taihan Town, the rear. When there is any news, I will notify you as soon as possible."
"Salute!" The soldiers present raised their right arms again.
Whether in a car or in the wilderness.
The old woman sitting in the back of the tricycle experienced the most grief of her life, and at the same time, she also accepted the most glorious moment of her life. Thousands of soldiers raised their arms high on both sides of her.
That is the tribute from all the soldiers to their mothers. Just as they once returned home and said goodbye to their mothers, their bodies were straight, their eyes were filled with tears, their hearts were full of reluctance, but their will was firm.
"Captain Liu, you lied to her!" Yaoyao watched several soldiers escorting the old woman on a tricycle and driving backwards, and Wang Zhang, who was beside him, sighed slightly.
It was true that the 43rd Army had not been on the battlefield as a reserve force, but its current situation was even more terrifying than the bloody battle of more than half of the casualties on the Haicheng battlefield like the 20th Army and the 21st Army. After all, on the Haicheng battlefield, there were hundreds of thousands to fight 200,000, but at this moment, the 43rd Army in Huangsu City was worth 10,000 to 100,000. Just thinking about it makes people feel cold all over.
"Yes, I lied to her." Liu Lang could only sigh. "If I didn't lied to her, she wouldn't be able to continue to live."
"Living like this is much more painful than death." Wang Zhang's eyes surged. "I have 30,000 men in Xizhou, and in just one week, they have been lying all over the entire position. I don't know how to face their parents when I return to Xizhou."
"Deputy Commander Wang, you are wrong." Liu Lang's eyes flashed with firmness. "Today, you are the Xizhou Army, I am the Qiu Tong Army, the Southern Army... Even if all the troops in the kingdom die here in battle, they will only be hundreds of thousands or even millions. A hundred families are worse than a family crying. If we, as soldiers, are afraid of the war, then even if we live, we will see that today's Yang family mother will have more than one person, but tens of thousands of people."
"The mother of Yang family must live. Only when people live can they have hope and hope to see the day when we defeat the Black Hawk Empire Army, and they can feel that her sons sacrificed valuable things." Liu Lang continued.
"Can we really defeat the Black Hawk Empire?" A trace of confusion flashed in Wang Zhang's eyes.
"Victory belongs to an army that is not afraid of sacrifice, a country that is not afraid of failure, and a nation that firmly believes in the dawn." Liu Lang took a deep breath. "It's nothing to be afraid of defeating repeatedly, but it's just a fight again and again!"
"Fighting and defeating repeatedly, and fighting repeatedly..." Wang Zhang whispered these few words, and the confusion in his eyes finally became clear. "Thank you, Captain Liu, you are right. Although our army in Haicheng was defeated, it did not allow the Black Hawk Empire to take too much advantage. They were fewer, and I had many people. Haicheng was all dead. There were also Anhui, Lanbeizhou, Neji County, Xizhou and Jiangxin City... One of them died was less, and they were the mother of the Black Hawk Empire, and they fought with them."
"Hehe, Commander Wang, do you dare to play with the big guy?" Liu Lang couldn't help but think about it when he saw that there was a door.
Although the Xizhou Army has been in a state of collapse, it seems that it is in a defeat, to be honest, if the morale of the army has been disintegrated, and there are pursuers who can maintain the army system when there are planes bombing in the sky, and can also pull artillery and supplies, it is actually no longer disappointing the reputation of the Xizhou Wolf Army.
