After hearing this, Zhong Yi felt so sad.

At that moment, Zhong Yi walked to Aunt Fang, squatted down and greeted: "Auntie?"

Aunt Fang, who was crying sadly, looked up when she heard the sound and saw that it was a young senior officer, she quickly turned around subconsciously and wanted to kowtow to Zhong Yi.

In this era, the feudal toxicity concept at the bottom of China was still very serious and the hierarchy was very strict.

So when Aunt Fang, who was from the bottom, saw Zhong Yi, her first reaction was to kneel on the ground and kowtow.

If Zhong Yi was really a Kuomintang officer of this era, these few noises would have been affected, but what he hid in his body was the soul of a modern person, so how could he accept this?

At that moment, Zhong Yi reached out to support Aunt Fang and said, "Auntie, you don't need to kowtow, I should kowtow."

While saying that, Zhong Yi really knelt down and knelt in front of Aunt Fang, and then he really bowed three respectfully to Aunt Fang.

Aunt Fang was a little confused and didn't react for a moment.

After knocking, Zhong Yi said sincerely: "Auntie, I have to thank you. Thank you for cultivating good soldiers like the seven brothers of the Fang family for our Coast Defense Corps and our National Revolutionary Army! If there were no thousands of mothers like Auntie Fang, if there were no thousands of good soldiers like the Fang family, our country would have died long ago and our nation would have disappeared in the long river of history. Auntie, I thank you!"

After a pause, Zhong Yi said solemnly: "But people have feelings after all. We will definitely not sit idly by like the seventh brothers of the Fang family. Auntie, don't worry, you have lost five sons one after another, so we will never lose your last two sons, Xiaoliu and Xiaoqi, I will let..."

However, before Zhong Yi finished speaking, he was interrupted by Aunt Fang.

"Sir!" Aunt Fang said anxiously, "You must not let Xiaoliu and Xiaoqi go home!"

"What?" Zhong Yi was stunned when he heard this. Aunt Fang's reaction was a little beyond his expectations.

Logically speaking, I have lost five sons, wouldn’t it be better to let the last two sons return to my side?

Aunt Fang said with tears in her eyes: "Sir, my old man made a vow before he died that the descendants of our Camel Fang family would join the army. If they don't drive foreigners out of China for a day, they won't go home to farm for a day!"

Cao Guolin next to him whispered: "Sheng, Mr. Fang participated in the Boxer Rebellion in his early years. He had fought with foreign devils in Tianjin and Peking. After being injured, he was sent back to his hometown in Yinjiang and left soon. It is probably because of this that he left his last words for the descendants of the Fang family to join the army and fight against foreigners."

Seeing Zhong Yi hesitating, Aunt Fang said again: "My old man also said that although China is big and there are many Chinese people, if every household refuses to let their children join the army, then this country will sooner or later die. The descendants of our Fang family will never be slaves to the country. Please do not let Xiaoliu and Xiaoqi go home."

Hearing this, Zhong Yi finally burst into tears and nodded vigorously, "Okay, aunt, don't worry, I won't let Xiaoliu and Xiaoqi go home. If you don't drive foreigners out of China for a day, you won't go home for a day!"

Speaking of this, Zhong Yi couldn't hide his agitation in his chest and said, "Auntie, I'll knock on you a few more."

After saying that, Zhong Yi bent down again and knocked at Aunt Fang several times.

A mother like Aunt Fang deserves everyone's respect. Zhong Yi only regrets that his expression is limited, and the only thing he can do is to knock on a few sounds.

...

Aunt Fang left and took Xiao Wu's body away.

The remains of the remaining officers and soldiers in the 1st row were also taken away by the transport team and transported back to their hometown for burial.

Cao Guolin followed Zhong Yi into the regiment headquarters' war room and whispered: "Participate in the seat, otherwise let the 1st and 2nd battalions change?"

Cao Guolin still felt sorry for the two brothers in the Fang family and felt that the right-wing defense line would be relatively safe, so he hoped that the remaining two brothers in the Fang family could go to the right-wing defense line.

"No need." Zhong Yi shook his head and said with a sad expression, "There are brothers from the Fang family in the 2nd Battalion, how can I know that there are no Tang family brothers from the 1st Battalion and Xiao family brothers?"

"You can't bear to sacrifice the Fang brothers, do you just bear to sacrifice the Xiao brothers?"

"Mr. Fang is right. Although China is big and there are many Chinese people, if every household refuses to send their children to the battlefield, then the country will sooner or later die."

"So, let it go, and what should you do."

"As commanders, the only thing we need to consider is to win this battle so that thousands of good soldiers like Fang Xiaowu will not be sacrificed in vain, and the tears of thousands of heroic mothers like Aunt Fang will not be in vain!"

Cao Guolin nodded vigorously and said, "I understand the situation when I am accused of the seat!"

Speaking of this, Cao Guolin said again: "But fortunately, in the Battle of Jiulong Mountain this afternoon, the Japanese suffered much greater losses than our coastal defense corps. Therefore, I, Cao Guolin, dare not say anything else, but it is a delusion to the Japanese to open the gap from Jiulong Mountain, and it is absolutely impossible!"

Zhong Yi shook his head and said, "Captain Cao, you think of the problem too simply!"

After a moment of pause, Zhong Yi continued: "The reason why the Japanese suffered such great losses today is mainly because they underestimated the enemy too much. Next, the situation will not be as easy as today. The real difficulties have not yet arrived. Look, tomorrow you will know why the Fifth Division is so famous!"

...

In the Zhamoto Detachment Town in Cixi, the command center of Sakamoto Detachment.

The bodies of more than 500 Japanese officers and soldiers had been poured with gasoline. Shun Sakamoto held a torch and walked to the big pit where the bodies were piled up, and then threw them down.

Once the torch landed, it burned.

In just a moment, a raging fire broke out in the corpse pit.

Watching the bodies of the fallen soldiers gradually turned into ashes in the flames, Shun Sakamoto's expression also relaxed a little bit. After a few minutes, his expression had completely returned to his calmness.

A few minutes later, Sakamoto nodded slightly at Sakurada Takeshi and others, and said, "Go back!"

Takeshi Sakurada and several corps captains followed Shun Sakamoto back to the war room. At this time, several combat staff from the General Staff had spent an afternoon building the sand table.

Shun Sakamoto walked to the sand table and stood still, saying in a deep voice: "Tell me, how do you fight next?"

Tadashi Katano spoke first: "Captain, the firepower configuration of the Coast Defense Corps is far better than that of the Jin-Shang Army. The Central Army has used it to deal with the Jin-Sui Army before, and the Central Army's tactics must be abandoned!"

The tactics used by the Fifth Division against the Jinsui Army and the Central Army are actually the consistent tactics of the Japanese army. To put it bluntly, the artillery bombarded, the infantry rushed, and the artillery continued to bombard after the infantry rushed.

This was repeated until the national army could not bear the collapse of the defense line.
