The Japanese army increased its troops, and in addition to the sudden increase in pressure on the national army, the casualties also increased sharply.

The 2nd Regiment of the Tax Police and the 22nd Independent Brigade suffered heavy casualties in the confrontation with the 1st Division of the 3rd Division.

Among them, the area of Dachang and Onzaoba, which was under the responsibility of the 2nd Regiment of the Tax Police, was fiercely counterattacked by the 3rd Division, and the defense line was in an emergency for a time.

At the critical moment, Sun Liren immediately sent someone to summon Lin Rui's Eighth Company to rush to support.

At that time, Lin Rui had just finished training for the army and was chatting with Li Shiran, who had accumulated news materials with him.

After many days of getting along day and night, Lin Rui had a deeper understanding of this beautiful female reporter and found that she was not only beautiful, but also a rather funny and humorous woman.

Her personality is just the opposite of Shangguan Nianci, Li Shiran's personality is enthusiastic and unrestrained, like a delicate red rose.

Shangguan Nianci is gentle and elegant, like a noble and cold white rose, and the first acquaintance gives people a kind of cold as frost, which can only be viewed from a distance, not blasphemed.

But in fact, under her beautiful appearance, she has a kind heart, not only the benevolence of a doctor who saves life and death, but also the righteousness of her family, country and nation.

It is precisely in this way that she will save Lin Rui in public regardless of her image.

However, Li Shiran and Shangguan Nianci also have similarities, that is, both of them have undergone a complete cultural education, and they can be regarded as talented and excellent women.

The knowledge is far beyond the vast majority of people in this era, and they are all equally intelligent, so in getting along, they are very angry with Lin Rui, a traverser.

As he walked, Li Shiran asked with great interest: "Major Lin, as a company commander, do you have anything to say to your subordinates?" ”

Lin Rui's expression darkened, he stopped, turned to look at the officers and soldiers of the Eighth Company who had just finished training and were being disbanded, and said meaningfully: "The average age of these soldiers is less than twenty years old, this war came too fast, and life and death came too quickly.

So much so that before I could remember the names of each of them, many of them were gone. ”

Perhaps feeling the sadness in Lin Rui's words, Li Shiran also turned around, looked at the young soldier, and said with empathy: "Yes, the arrival of this war is destined to have countless sacrifices, and I don't know if anyone will remember those who sacrificed in the future!" ”

Lin Rui changed his words and said very resolutely: "Yes, all those who sacrificed their lives for this patriotic war and to defend the territorial integrity of our country and the sovereignty and dignity of the Chinese nation will always be remembered by future generations."

Even if future generations cannot remember their names, they will always be remembered.

Because they all have a common name, that is, Chinese soldiers! ”

"Hmm." Li Shiran looked at Lin Rui with a strange brilliance in his eyes, and just wanted to ask something more.

A hurry. The sound of hurried footsteps suddenly came from behind them, "Company Commander Lin!" Company Commander Lin! ”

When Lin Rui heard the sound, he immediately turned around, only to see a bloodstained and murderous second lieutenant officer, carrying a Mauser pistol, panting and running towards him.

Li Shiran was taken aback by this iron-faced and murderous second lieutenant officer, and his face couldn't help but turn slightly pale.

Lin Rui stared at him and asked, "Brother, what's wrong?" ”

The second lieutenant officer ran to Lin Rui, immediately stood upright, raised his hand and saluted: "Company Commander Lin, the enemy has increased its troops, and is counterattacking, the front line is in an emergency, and each company has suffered heavy casualties, the regimental seat sent me to inform you, immediately lead the eighth company to set off, and rush to the aid of Dachang, this order is urgent, there must be no mistake!" Execute quickly! ”

"Yes!" Lin Rui suddenly agreed, raised his hand and returned a military salute.

Immediately turned around and shouted at the top of his voice: "Ah Feng! Ah Feng! ”

Lin Feng, who was already a platoon leader, heard the shout, and immediately ran over quickly, saluted Lin Rui and asked, "Company commander, what's wrong?" ”

"Pass my orders, assemble the whole company, and prepare for battle! Fast! Lin Rui commanded in a deep voice.

"Yes!" Lin Feng happily accepted the order, and after saluting again, he immediately turned around and ran to gather troops shouting.

Lin Rui turned around and said to the second lieutenant officer who came to give the order: "Brother, are you going with us, or will you go back first?" ”

"Tuanzuo didn't say it, I'll listen to Company Commander Lin!" The second lieutenant officer said.

"Okay, what's your name?" Lin Rui asked.

"Humble Zhang Xinghan, liaison officer of the regiment headquarters!" The second lieutenant officer said.

"Okay, Second Lieutenant Zhang, let's go right away!" Lin Rui nodded, then turned to Li Shiran and said, "Miss Shiran, you also heard it, the front line is urgent, we have to go up, and it's not very safe here, so don't stay here, hurry back to downtown Shanghai." ”

After a pause, Lin Rui added: "If you can, leave Shanghai as soon as possible, and it is safest to transfer to the mainland." ”

Because the situation changed too quickly, Li Shiran didn't realize the deep meaning behind Lin Rui's words, but shook his head and refused: "No, I'm not leaving, my task is to conduct battlefield interviews, and now that you are going to the front line, we have to follow, just on-the-spot interviews." ”

"Don't make a fuss!" Lin Rui flatly refused: "Now that the Japanese have increased their troops, the situation is more critical and dangerous than before.

When the time comes, my subordinates and I will be too busy to take care of ourselves, and there will be no one to protect you. ”

Liaison officer Zhang Xinghan also echoed: "Yes, the Japanese naval guns are extremely powerful, and when the cannon comes down, a platoon of brothers is gone!"

This young lady, you don't know what happened to us at the front line, so let's listen to Chief Lin's advice and leave quickly!

This is a battlefield, and it shouldn't be where you women come! ”

Li Shiran was a little angry, and actually pulled out a Browning pistol from his waist, and said angrily: "Who said that women can't go to the battlefield, I have a gun, I can fight side by side with you!" ”

"Nonsense!" Lin Rui snorted a little angrily, turned around and walked towards the troops that were being assembled, and then instructed Zhou Weihan who came up: "Old Zhou, you take two people to escort Miss Li and them back to downtown Shanghai." ”

Zhou Weihan originally heard that he was going to the front line, and the excited old Diao was furious, thinking about how to go to the front line to kill devils.

As soon as Lin Rui said this, it was tantamount to a basin of cold water splashed down, and he immediately shrugged his face and stretched out his head to look at Li Shiran, who was not far behind Lin Rui, and said in a low voice: "Company commander, can this task be handed over to someone else?" Lao Zhou, I don't want to escort a few reporters, I want to take my brothers to kill devils. ”

Lin Rui looked at Zhou Weihan and changed his words: "You look at the arrangement, in short, we want to send them back to downtown Shanghai." ”

"Yes!" Zhou Weihan was overjoyed, immediately summoned a squad leader, gave him some instructions, and then followed Lin Rui to assemble the troops.

Li Shiran couldn't resist Lin Rui, so she had to leave with reluctance and anger.

However, halfway through, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she said to the squad leader who was escorting them: "This chief, you still have a task to do, so let's stop here." ”

The squad leader hesitated a little and said, "However, Deputy Company Commander Zhou told me to send you back to downtown Shanghai." ”

"No need, we can go back by ourselves, you guys hurry up and go back to participate in the battle, Company Commander Lin and Deputy Company Commander Zhou won't know." Li Shiran said.

"Alright then, be careful yourself." The squad leader thought about it, nodded in agreement, gave an instruct, and turned back with four subordinates.
