Sun Liren and the staff adjutants present all understood that even if they were able to successfully land on the east coast this time, they would still face great dangers, and it would not be an exaggeration to describe them as nine deaths.

Lin Rui has just made great achievements, promoted to the deputy battalion commander of the army major, and was deliberately portrayed as an anti-Japanese hero by the propaganda department of the national government, showing his face everywhere the leader.

Personal prestige has reached a level that many people dream of, but cannot reach, and the future is bound to be limitless.

However, there is a premise for this, that is, Lin Rui is alive first.

At this time, Lin Rui had to personally lead the team to swim across the river to carry out this life-and-death task, which really surprised Sun Liren and the staff adjutants.

Facing Sun Liren's inquiry, Lin Rui stood tall and said: "Yes, Tuanzao, I proposed this plan, and it is most suitable for me to lead the team to implement it." ”

Sun Liren and the others couldn't help but be in awe again, and looked at Lin Rui with appreciation: "Good job!" If you have any requests, you can put them forward now, and I will try to meet them. ”

Lin Rui said: "Because I have to wade through the water, I am destined not to carry too many weapons and ammunition, and I am afraid that I can't even bring a heavy machine gun with heavy weapons, so I hope that the regiment can provide some wine and meat rights for the soldiers participating in this swimming operation as encouragement and reward." ”

"It's as simple as that?" Sun Liren thought that Lin Rui would take the opportunity to make some important requests, but he never thought it would be so simple.

Lin Rui nodded and said, "It's as simple as that." ”

Sun Liren nodded happily and agreed, and instructed the adjutant to do it immediately.

At that time, the national army was backed by Shanghai, coupled with the Beijing-Shanghai railway and highway, all kinds of materials could be transported in a steady stream, and the supply of materials for the tax police corps itself was relatively good.

Therefore, Lin Rui's request is nothing, and it is easy to do.

After arranging for the adjutant to prepare the wine and meat, Sun Liren said to another combat staff officer: "Staff Officer Zhang, you accompany Deputy Battalion Commander Lin to select personnel, as long as he picks them, all battalions and companies will release them, and they must not be obstructed!" ”

"Yes!" A major staff officer suddenly agreed, and after saluting, he immediately invited Lin Rui and said, "Deputy Battalion Commander Lin, please!" ”

"Retire from your duties." Lin Rui and Zhou Weihan nodded to Sun Liren at the same time, then turned around and took the lead and walked outside.

After Sun Liren watched Lin Rui go to select personnel to leave, he liked this subordinate more and more, resourceful, wise and brave, and he didn't care about fame and fortune, this kind of person was simply too rare, there was no such commander who didn't like such a subordinate.

With Sun Liren's strong support, Lin Rui only took an hour to select more than 100 soldiers who were proficient in water from the second regiment of the Tax Police Corps.

In addition, more than 20 soldiers who know how to water were transferred from his eighth company to form a commando team of more than 150 people, with Lin Rui as the captain.

Most of the officers and soldiers of the Tax Police Corps are from Jiangnan, so there are many soldiers who know how to water.

Zhou Weihan is also a guy who is proficient in water, and he originally wanted to participate, but Lin Rui refused.

"Company commander, why don't you let me join the commando? I can also water, I won't hold back, and I can protect you. Zhou Weihan didn't answer.

Lin Rui didn't rush to answer, but asked, "Is there any smoke?" Give me one. ”

Lin Rui didn't smoke when he was in the special forces before, not because he didn't want to smoke, but as a top special forces, he couldn't smoke, especially when performing tasks, smoking was likely to lead to mission failure.

After the crossing, because of various things, until after returning to the eighth company, he was busy training troops, so he rarely smoked.

After the Battle of Songhu began, he led his troops to the battlefield, and he didn't care about smoking, so he didn't carry cigarettes on his body.

However, Zhou Weihan is addicted to smoking, so this guy will definitely carry cigarettes.

Sure enough, hearing Lin Rui say this, Zhou Weihan immediately took out half a pack of Hademen cigarettes from the upper left pocket of his military uniform, took out one of them and hurriedly handed it to Lin Rui, and then took out a match to help Lin Rui light it.

Lin Rui took a puff of cigarette, felt the spicy stimulation coming from his lungs, exhaled a deep breath, looked at Zhou Weihan and said: "This swimming operation is ten deaths and nine lives, the two of us can't all go up, we have to leave one."

In case I die, you'll have to continue fighting with the Eighth Company! ”

For some reason, Zhou Weihan, a strong man who doesn't even frown when he kills devils, heard Lin Rui say this, and there was an inexplicable tragedy that arose, and he felt that his nose seemed to be a little sour.

Looking at Lin Rui a little sadly, his throat twitched a few times, and his voice became a little heavy: "Company commander, I ......"

Lin Rui raised his hand and interrupted him: "Needless to say, this is an order and an entrustment, if I die, you have to continue to fight with the Eighth Company, and you must carry forward the Eighth Company, you can't let the Eighth Company be gone, understand?" ”

"Yes!" Zhou Weihan's eyes were completely red, and he suddenly stepped forward to respond.

In the afternoon, Sun Liren did not organize another attack, but asked the regimental headquarters cooking squad to prepare a sumptuous meal of wine and meat for Lin Rui and other commandos.

In the evening, Lin Rui and all the commandos feasted fiercely in the bunker of the regiment headquarters.

At the end of the day, Sun Liren walked along the trench with two combat staff officers.

"The group has arrived!" One of the staff officers reminded loudly at the top of his voice.

Lin Rui, Lin Feng and other more than 150 commandos all stood up to greet each other.

Lin Feng was born in Guangzhou, and his water nature was very good, and he was worried about Lin Rui's safety, so he asked to join the commando, but Lin Rui couldn't help him, so he agreed to put him in the commando.

Sun Liren walked up to Lin Rui and the others, looked around at the commandos present with eyes like knives, and asked in a deep voice, "Brothers, is there enough wine and meat?" ”

Lin Rui replied loudly: "Thank you Tuanzao, it's enough!" ”

Sun Liren bowed slightly, and then said to the adjutant behind him: "Staff Officer Zhang, bring me a wine bowl!" ”

"Yes!" Staff Officer Zhang suddenly agreed and immediately took the order.

Soon, a wine bowl was brought to Sun Liren, and a soldier had already gone up with half a jar of wine to pour it for him.

Lin Rui probably knew Sun Liren's intentions, so he immediately turned his head and ordered: "Commando, all of you pick up your wine bowls and pour them full of wine!" ”

More than 150 commandos quickly followed the order, and picked up the wine in their bowls as quickly as possible.

Sun Liren held a wine bowl full of wine in one hand, took a step forward, looked around the officers and soldiers present with a real face, and said aloud with a solemn expression: "Brothers, I hope you can play the prestige of our tax police corps and the prestige of our Chinese soldiers. Dry! ”

After speaking, Sun Liren suddenly picked up the wine bowl and tilted his neck, and poured the wine in the bowl into his mouth in a big gulp.

"!" Lin Rui, Lin Feng and other commandos echoed in unison, and they all took a big sip of wine bowls.
