"I know that you all, like me, have volunteered to sacrifice for our country! Some have family left behind, some have siblings to care for their parents, but I still say this: we are a dare-to-die squad, but... we are not a death squad! If we must die, let it be worthwhile. We must win this victory for our Zhou at the smallest cost!"
Having said what needed to be said, Jiang Huaisheng clasped his fists in front of the soldiers, his voice very low: "Brothers! I hope... each of us can come back alive!"
Strive to come back alive...
Even if hope is slim.
