In the end, Lin Lan ordered a few dishes, and not long after the three of them ate, Lin Feng hurriedly came over with a soldier of the Eighth Company.

"Second Miss is also there?" Lin Feng said with some surprise when he saw Lin Lan.

Yu Wanyou, who was sitting with Lin Rui, took the initiative to wave her hand at Lin Feng and said, "Brother A Feng, there is still me." ”

Lin Feng looked at her and said in surprise: "Miss Wanyou, you are here too?!" ”

"yes, I'm here for Ari." Yu Wan smiled sweetly, turned her head to look at Lin Rui next to her, her eyes were full of sweetness.

Lin Rui understood that if there was no incident, Lin Feng would not have brought a warrior out to look for him, so he asked, "Ah Feng, is there something?" ”

Lin Feng nodded and said, "Just now, the regiment commander sent someone to give an order, asking our eighth company to rush to the regiment headquarters immediately, as if it was about to be pulled." ”

Lin Rui calculated the time, it was not a few days before the outbreak of the Battle of Shanghai on August 13, and it should be that the Tax Police Corps was going to secretly enter the Shanghai area.

If Lin Rui is not mistaken, as early as the sixth day of the outbreak of the 77 Incident, that is, on July 13, the Nationalist Government secretly transferred the 2nd Division to supplement the brigade, that is, the Zhong Song Brigade sent a regiment to secretly stationed in downtown Shanghai to control Hongqiao Airport and other key points.

Of course, this regiment was under the banner of the Shanghai security forces, because the Nationalist government could not station regular troops in the Shanghai area because of the agreement to resist the First Battle of Songhu.

It is now 7 August, less than a week before the outbreak of the Battle of Songhu, and it is reasonable for the Nationalist Government to further move the elite troops such as the Tax Police Corps to the Shanghai area.

So, Lin Rui immediately got up and said to Lin Lan and Yu Wanyou: "Second sister, Wanyou, you also heard it, the military order is here, I can't accompany you to continue eating, I have to go back immediately." ”

Yu Wanyou stood up as soon as possible, took Lin Rui's hand and begged pitifully: "Ah Rui, don't go to war, it's okay, you will die if you fight, you go back to Guangzhou with me, and let's go to Hong Kong together, okay?" ”

Seeing Yu Wanyou like this, Lin Rui felt a little unbearable in his heart, but he could only grit his teeth and say ruthlessly: "Wanyou, you have to understand that none of us can stay out of this war.

I'm a military man, and if we all cower, then who will protect our country? Our nation? Country, country, country has home, otherwise although China is big, it will be difficult for us to have an inch of place to live.

What's more, your Aunt Lin also died under the guns of Japanese spies, as a son of man, it is my responsibility and duty to avenge my mother.

Therefore, in public and private, I should go to the front line to fight against the Japanese invaders, only by killing more enemies, can I be worthy of my conscience and the military uniform on my body, I hope you can understand. ”

"But what do I think you do?" Yu Wan said pitifully.

Lin Rui saw that her tears were already rolling in her eyes, and his heart softened: "You can write to me!" ”

Yu Wanyou still wanted to say something, but seeing Lin Rui's resolute face, she had to nod slightly: "Okay, you must pay attention to safety." ”

"I will." After Lin Rui finished speaking, he instructed Lin Lan again: "Second sister, you hurry up and take Wanyou back to Shanghai, and then go back to Guangzhou with your father, there may be a war in Shanghai at any time." ”

"yes, I see." Lin Lan probably remembered her mother who died tragically under the guns of the Japanese spies, her eyes were a little sad, she was not in the mood to joke anymore, and nodded slightly.

Lin Rui immediately left the table and said to Lin Feng and the soldier, "Let's go." ”

After saying that, he took the two of them and walked straight out of the restaurant.

However, just as they walked to the door, a middle-aged man wearing a black short-sleeved plain clothes and a round top hat suddenly ran in in a hurry.

This person's face was terrified, and he was still carrying a Mauser pistol in his hand, and when he saw Lin Rui and the three of them in military uniforms, his eyes were obviously shocked, and a fierce killing intent flashed.

At this moment, a few plainclothes and a group of gendarmerie policemen rushed in from outside, and the leader shouted: "This person is a Japanese spy, be careful!" ”

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, the gunshots rang out!

However, it was Lin Rui who fired first, and the bullet hit the Japanese spy's face and killed him on the spot.

It turned out that when Lin Rui noticed that the spy had moved to kill, he decisively pulled out his gun, grabbed the trigger in front of the other party.

Therefore, as soon as the Japanese spy raised the gun, before he could fire, he was shot dead by Lin Rui, and the whole person maintained the posture of raising the gun, and fell straight backwards.

The first time Yu Wanyou saw this kind of scene, it was also the first time she saw Lin Rui killing, so she was so frightened for a while that she didn't even dare to make a sound.

The leading plainclothes man rushed in, and several plainclothes and gendarmerie policemen quickly surrounded the fallen Japanese spies and made sure that they were out of breath.

The plainclothes leader waved his hand and ordered the crowd: "Drag it down." ”

"Yes." Several plainclothes and gendarmerie policemen agreed in unison and immediately carried the dead Japanese spy out.

The plainclothes leader walked up to Lin Rui and the others, looked up and down and asked, "Which unit are you from?" ”

"Lin Rui, the commander of the 8th Company of the 3rd Battalion of the 2nd Regiment of the Tax Police Corps, these two are my subordinates." Lin Rui said.

The plainclothes leader looked at Lin Rui and raised his hand to thank him: "We are from the secret service of the Lixing Society, and we were ordered to hunt down a group of Japanese spies who tried to spy on our army's military secrets, thank you for your help just now." ”

"You're welcome." Lin Rui smiled indifferently.

The plainclothes leader nodded approvingly, said no more, and turned to leave.

Lin Rui turned around and saw Yu Wanyou's face pale, obviously frightened, so he walked back and comforted, "Wanyou, are you okay?" ”

Yu Wanyou came back to her senses at this time, threw herself into Lin Rui's arms, and couldn't help crying: "Ah Rui, you promise me that you must come back alive to see me, okay?" ”

Lin Rui looked at Lin Lan on the side, nodded and said, "Well, I promise you, you also saw it, it's too dangerous here, hurry up and go back with the second sister, only if you are safe, I can go to the front line without worries, understand?" ”

"Hmm." Yu Wanyou forced herself not to cry, reluctantly broke free from Lin Rui's arms, and nodded slightly.

Half an hour later, Lin Rui rushed to the headquarters of the Second Regiment with all the personnel and equipment of the Eighth Company, and at the same time, most of the more than 3,000 troops of the Second Regiment arrived one after another to complete the assembly.

Accompanied by his adjutant, the regiment commander Sun Liren announced an order in public: "All officers and men obey the order, and the whole regiment will immediately enter the combat state, and no one is allowed to leave the team without authorization, otherwise they will be punished for the crime of escaping from the battle!"

Now I order all battalions and companies of the regiment to rush to the railway station in turn and take the train to Shanghai! ”

After Sun Liren finished speaking, a major adjutant stepped forward and ordered: "The first battalion goes first, the second battalion, the third battalion, and the companies directly under the regiment will follow!" Fast! ”
