Under the bloody struggle of Lin Rui, Zhou Weihan and other soldiers, after a fierce battle, the remnants of the Japanese army in Lujiadu Village were finally cleared and this strategic place was captured.

However, the last surviving fighters of the commando team in this battle, even Lin Rui, had less than thirty people left, and a third of them were seriously injured.

Lin Rui's Eighth Company also paid huge casualties in the fierce battle between crossing the river and the village behind, and there were less than 150 people left after the battle.

However, just as Lin Rui was about to take his troops and continue to attack forward, he received a new order from the regimental headquarters.

"Company Commander Lin, there is an order from the regimental seat, and the Eighth Company will immediately stop advancing and withdraw to downtown Shanghai to rest and be on standby." A captain herald of the regimental headquarters saluted Lin Rui with a respectful face to convey the order.

The reason why Lujiadu was able to win the first battle was because Lin Rui led the death squad to fight to the death.

Therefore, from the regiment commander Sun Liren to the ordinary soldiers below, everyone in the second regiment of the tax police today has great respect for Lin Rui and is in awe.

"Retreat? Why retreat at this time? Lin Rui looked at the captain and the herald with some puzzlement and asked.

The captain said with a flattering smile on his face: "Chief Lin, I won't tell you, the other troops of our tax police corps have arrived, and the regimental seat feels sorry for you and the brothers of the Eighth Company, so I specially approve you to withdraw and rest first, Major Lin, you don't want to live up to the good intentions of the regiment!" ”

"Oh." Although Lin Rui was a little reluctant to withdraw at this time, he also understood that battlefield disobedience was a taboo for a soldier.

In addition, considering that the casualties of the Eighth Company are indeed not small now, and they also need to rest, they nodded and agreed.

That night, Lin Rui's Eighth Company and the Second Regiment of the Tax Police Regiment suffered relatively large losses, and the other troops of the Second Battalion and the Third Battalion withdrew to the urban area one after another for rest.

The regiment commander Sun Liren took the first battalion and other troops directly under the regiment, stayed on the front line to cooperate with other brother units, and continued to attack the Japanese army.

One. After the fierce battle at night, Lin Rui and the officers and soldiers of the Eighth Company were already exhausted, so after arriving at the destination, including Lin Rui himself, they almost fell asleep.

A few hours passed in a blink of an eye, the sky brightened again, and Lin Rui was also anxious. Rush footsteps woke up.

He immediately got up and walked out of the room where he had slept, only to see a lieutenant colonel officer and several guards with rifles walking into the small courtyard where they had camped last night.

Because at that time, the courtyard was full of tired soldiers of the Eighth Company, and there were people everywhere, so the lieutenant colonel officer hadn't seen Lin Rui covered in blood.

He opened his mouth and asked loudly, "Where is Company Commander Lin?" ”

Lin Rui saw that he was looking for himself, so he immediately stepped out of the crowd and said, "I'm Lin Rui." ”

As he spoke, he saluted Lieutenant Colonel and asked, "What is the sir's search for me?" ”

The lieutenant colonel officer looked at Lin Rui, immediately stood upright, solemnly saluted, and saluted Lin Rui from the bottom of his heart to show respect before he spoke: "Major Lin, I was ordered to come to inform your department that the supplementary regiment of the general regiment is already on its way.

In view of the meritorious combat of your unit, the regimental headquarters has given priority to replenish your unit, so whether it is guns, ammunition or soldiers, it will be given priority to supply your unit, and Company Commander Lin is requested to be ready to receive it. ”

When Lin Rui heard this, his heart warmed, it seems that the peaks of the tax police corps are quite interesting.

Knowing that he was fighting too badly on the front line, he gave priority to replenishment.

So he said to the lieutenant colonel officer: "Please thank the commanders of the regiment headquarters for me, just say that Lin Rui and the Eighth Company will continue to fight and fight the Japanese to the end!" ”

The lieutenant colonel officer nodded and said, "Company Commander Lin doesn't have to be polite, your Eighth Company's performance in the battle is superior to that of the entire Ninth Army, and this is the power and treatment you have won."

If Company Commander Lin has any other requirements, we can mention them now, as long as we can do it, we will definitely meet it. ”

Lin Rui said: "It's true, please ask the commanders to help transfer the wounded soldiers of our department to the rear hospital for treatment as soon as possible, they are all real warriors, please save them." ”

The lieutenant colonel officer said: "Well, I will immediately arrange someone to handle this special matter, please rest assured Major Lin." ”

"Thank you, sir." Lin Rui thanked him solemnly.

"You're welcome, I still have military affairs to do, take my leave." After saying that, the lieutenant colonel officer turned around and led the people away.

Almost as soon as the lieutenant colonel officer left, a few more people walked into the courtyard where Lin Rui was.

"Company Commander Lin!" Lin Rui had just turned around at that time, and a very pleasant female voice came from behind him, this voice Lin Rui sounded a little familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was in a hurry.

I had to look back immediately, and I saw a beautiful woman dressed as a female soldier, walking towards her with a happy face.

This person is none other than Li Shiran, a special correspondent of China Daily who interviewed Lin Rui before.

At this moment, Li Shiran took off her Western-style pretend and put on a set of women's military uniforms.

It was summer, and the military uniforms were all summer clothes, which were slightly thin, but they also happened to highlight her bumpy devil figure perfectly, and the eyes of many big-headed soldiers next to her were straight.

Lin Rui's eyes also lit up, he didn't expect this little girl to wear a military uniform, she was so good-looking, so unique in temperament and charm.

may have noticed the strangeness and stunned in Lin Rui's eyes, but for some reason Li Shiran had a hint of joy in his heart.

I saw her walking on two long legs, walked quickly to Lin Rui, raised her hand to Lin Rui and saluted: "Company Commander Lin, I'm here again!" ”

Lin Rui raised his hand a little embarrassed and asked, "Miss Li, why are you here this time?" ”

Li Shiran said: "I am now a special military reporter of China Daily, and I specially selected your Eighth Company as my army's unit.

In the coming days, I will work with you to interview you in the battlefield and record your battles and lives, so that we can cooperate with the government in carrying out anti-Japanese propaganda! ”

Lin Rui was a little big-headed, and politely refused: "Miss Li, our company is a front-line combat unit, although it has been withdrawn now, it may go to the front line again at any time, and it is too dangerous for you to act with us."

I suggest that you go to another unit, preferably to a brigade or division headquarters, so that it is safer to conduct interviews. ”

"No way!" Li Shiran directly refused: "You and the Eighth Company are already our hero troops, and other units are not comparable, and the task given to me by my superiors is to conduct on-the-spot interviews with your company." ”

Lin Rui said with a serious face: "Miss Li, then I said ugly things in the front, our company is a combat unit, and we may rush to the forefront to participate in the battle at any time, and your life may be in danger at any time if you stay with us, I hope you will carefully consider whether to stay." ”

"Stay!" Li Shiran said bluntly: "You are not afraid of death, and we are not afraid of either." ”

Lin Rui turned his head a little speechless and shouted, "Deputy Company Commander Zhou, they are handed over to you." ”
