Once a person's mindset is formed, it is very difficult to change.

In the Battle of Songhu at that time, all the commanders of the Chinese army thought of attacking from the ground according to their previous directional thinking.

No one would have thought that an attack would be carried out from underground.

It's not that they're not smart enough, it's a mindset, that is, a habitual mindset.

The same is true of Sun Liren, the head of the second regiment of the tax police, but when Lin Rui made a surprising statement, he proposed to cross the Japanese defense line from the underground drainage pipe and carry out a surprise attack on its rear.

The directional thinking that was subject to the inertia of thinking was quickly broken, and this kind of inspiration was like an enlightenment to a commander like Sun Liren, who was extremely intelligent and had his own military talent, and he suddenly realized it in an instant.

couldn't help but blurt out: "This method is good!" ”

The adjutant next to him said hesitantly: "Tuanzao, this method doesn't seem to work, right?" ”

Sun Liren withdrew his appreciative gaze from Lin Rui, turned to look at the adjutant behind him and asked, "Why doesn't it work?" Tell us what you think. ”

The major's staff adjutant met the eyes of Sun Liren and the others, and said bluntly: "First of all, if we want to cross the enemy's defense line through the underground pipeline and sneak into their rear, we must get the design drawings and road map of the underground pipe network.

Secondly, even if we get the road map, the troops participating in this roundabout infiltration will face great risks, and once they are discovered by the Japanese army, it is very likely that they will not come back and the whole army will be wiped out. ”

Sun Liren and the battalion and company commanders present all turned pale when they heard this, Sun Liren pondered for a while, raised his head and said with a grim gaze: "I will ask for help from the peak of the road map, I believe it can be obtained."

As for the roundabout infiltration, it is dangerous, but so what?

There are more than 3,000 athletes in our second regiment, are they all greedy for life and afraid of death? ”

The adjutant of the major said: "Tuanzao, if you are sure to implement this opportunity, then the troops participating in this roundabout attack cannot be too many, and it is easy to be exposed if there are too many people."

It is suggested that the size of the company should be maintained at about three to five companies, and that the success of the split attack should be more certain. ”

Sun Liren nodded, his eyes swept over the officers present, and asked impassionedly, "Which of you is willing to lead the troops and serve as a roundabout attack?" ”

Lin Rui understood that this was the best and probably the only time he had the opportunity to express himself and strive to change the impression in the minds of Sun Liren and the entire colleagues of the Second Regiment of the Tax Police.

Therefore, he didn't wait for the other battalion and company commanders to speak, he immediately spoke first, and took the initiative to ask Sun Lidao: "Tuanza, Lin Rui, the commander of the eighth company, requests to fight!" ”

Hearing this, Sun Liren's eyes quickly turned to Lin Rui, looked at Lin Rui with some surprise, and said meaningfully: "Company Commander Lin, this attack is not trivial, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is ten deaths and nine lives, it is extremely dangerous, are you sure you want to lead the team to participate?" ”

Lin Rui said righteously: "Yes, Tuanza, the battle has begun, my generation of soldiers should fight bravely to kill the enemy, I have made up my mind, lead the eighth company of brothers to attack behind the enemy, if you don't succeed, you will become benevolent!" ”

Seeing Lin Rui like this, Sun Liren looked at him again with appreciation, and couldn't help but nod and was about to agree, the adjutant of the major next to him glanced at Lin Rui, and immediately whispered in his ear to dissuade him: "Tuanza, Company Commander Lin's family background is prominent, if something happens, I'm afraid it will not be easy for Mr. Song and the general Tuanza to explain it at that time." ”

Although the major's adjutant voice was not loud, it was heard by Lin Rui and the battalion and company commanders present.

Sun Liren obviously also had some scruples, his brows furrowed slightly, and he fell into hesitation.

Seeing this, Lin Rui immediately said in a righteous and awe-inspiring voice: "Tuanzao, commanders, colleagues, the country has difficulties and responsibilities, Lin Rui is first a Chinese soldier, and then a child of the Lin family."

Therefore, from the moment the gun rang out, I was a soldier who defended my home and country, just like the soldiers of the whole army.

Therefore, there is only Lin Rui, the commander of the 8th Company of the 3rd Battalion of the 2nd Regiment of the Tax Police Corps of the National Revolutionary Army, and there is no young master of the Lin family!

My life is no more precious than anyone else's, my soldiers, my comrades-in-arms, and my robes can all die for the country, without exception! Therefore, please approve my invitation! ”

"Good! You can say that again! When Sun Liren heard this, he was surprised by Lin Rui's surprise, his face was full of surprise and relief, he never imagined that Lin Rui, a gentleman, would have such a sense of thought.

Therefore, he was excited, and immediately raised his hand to Lin Rui and said, "I agree to your request, but I have a request, I hope you must do it!" ”

Lin Rui asked, "What requirements?" ”

"Come back alive!" Sun Liren said awe-inspiringly. He didn't know what Lin Rui had gone through and how it would change, but for him, the more his subordinates were not afraid of death, the more he didn't want him to die.

Because, in war, only those who are not afraid of death deserve to live.

Lin Rui straightened up and said, "Do your best!" ”

Subsequently, several more company commanders followed Lin Rui's example and took the initiative to ask for help, and they were all approved by Sun Liren one by one.

At about 8 o'clock in the evening of the same day, General Zhang Zhizhong asked someone to get the road map and design map of Shanghai's underground drainage official road network, and sent someone to send it to the headquarters of the Second Regiment of the Tax Police Corps overnight.

Sun Liren immediately gathered a group of subordinates, including Lin Rui, and began to formulate a plan and attack route.

At 9:05, the attack plan was formulated, and Sun Liren ordered Lin Rui and other five company commanders to quickly return to their respective companies, and ordered the cooking squad of the regiment headquarters to give food to the five companies that were responsible for the roundabout infiltration attack.

As I said before, the tax police corps is directly supported by the Ministry of Finance, and the supplies are abundant and abundant.

Therefore, this dinner not only has eggs, but also beef, pork and other meats.

At about 10 o'clock in the evening, the five companies ordered to attack, more than 1,000 officers and men, had all had eaten dinner, completed their assembly in the open space outside the regiment headquarters, and were lining up to wait for the regiment commander Sun Liren to give a final speech.

Lin Rui and Zhou Weihan led all the soldiers of the Eighth Company to be impressively listed.

Surrounded by the adjutant major and several other battalion and company commanders, Sun Liren strode out of the regimental headquarters. ，

Standing in front of the team, his eyes swept over all the soldiers present one by one, and he shouted in a deep voice with a grim face: "Brothers, tonight's battle is related to whether our army can break through the defense line of the Japanese army in Shanghai and win the opportunity on the battlefield, and it is also related to the life and death of tens of thousands of our friendly soldiers.

So, my grandson Fumin is here to ask everyone! ”

After speaking, Sun Liren Huo Ran stepped forward and raised his hand violently to give a solemn military salute to everyone.

Lin Rui, Zhou Weihan and several other company commanders all led the soldiers under their command to salute, and said in unison: "Fight to the end!" If you don't succeed, you will be a benevolent! ”
