Chapter 30: He's a Man
Shangguan Nianci and Li Muxue glanced at each other, both full of surprise, and then the two quickly ran over to intercept the shouting newspaper seller and bought a newspaper.
Since there was no photo of Lin Rui in the newspaper, after reading the details of the newspaper, Li Muxue looked at Shangguan Nianci in disbelief and said, "Nianci, do you say it will be Lin Rui's guy?" ”
Shangguan Nianci looked at the eye-catching typing of Captain Lin Rui in the newspaper, and muttered: "It's him, you forgot, the last time you met, he said his unit number and position, and this newspaper is very clear, it is him." ”
Li Muxue poked her head out again and looked at the newspaper in Shangguan Nianci's hand, wrinkled her cute Qiong nose and said, "I didn't expect that this guy Lin Rui would be so powerful and become an anti-Japanese hero." ”
Shangguan Nianci recalled the scene when Lin Rui gave her the envelope in St. John's College, and she had already finished reading the story that Lin Rui said, and she was filled with emotion for the tragic ending of the Supreme Treasure and the Zixia Fairy.
recalled the scene when they met for the first time, Lin Rui promised himself a little stubbornly that he would definitely join the army to serve the country in the future, and the scene when he was accidentally injured by the gendarmes in order to save himself in the Pentagon.
Looking at the newspaper in his hand again, Shangguan Nianci's heart was lightly touched by something.
Holding the newspaper, Shangguan Nianci showed an imperceptible smile on the corner of his mouth, and that smile said with endless sweetness: "He is a man and a hero!" ”
……
Shanghai, 865 Nanjing Road, Central Daily Shanghai Branch.
A young woman about 223 years old, about 1.65 meters tall, wearing a tight black suit and high heels, walked quickly to the door of the office of Li Changqing, the branch chief, and saw that the office door was empty.
The young woman raised her hand and knocked lightly on the door a few times, and a deep male voice came from inside: "Come in." ”
The young woman pushed open the door and walked in, where she saw a middle-aged man sitting behind a desk and working at a desk.
"Uncle, are you looking for me?" The young woman asked, walking over to her.
The middle-aged man raised his head when he heard the voice, helped his glasses and said, "Shiran, you are here, it's like this, I just received a task, and I want to go to my side only if you are suitable to do it." ”
"Oh? What task? The young woman known as Shiran asked curiously.
The woman's full name was Li Shiran, 24 years old this year, graduated from Stanford University in California, USA, and was a reporter for the Shanghai branch of the China Daily at the time.
The man in front of her, whom she called her uncle, was the director of the Shanghai branch of China Daily, and he was also a director of the Central Union in Shanghai, responsible for leading the agents and intelligence personnel of the Central Union in Shanghai.
Li Changqing said: "Captain Lin Rui, who has just made great contributions on the front line, you should have heard of it, right?" ”
"Well, I heard that." Li Shiran nodded slightly.
"That's the case, we didn't find a photo of Lin Rui, especially him wearing a military uniform, so the propaganda effect is much weaker, the head office instructed us to send a field interview team to the front line to interview Lin Rui on the spot, take a few photos of him in military uniform, and it is best to do an exclusive interview again, so that we can carry out propaganda."
"You should know that now our country needs heroes, Lin Rui just is, I learned about Lin Rui's background, this person is from a scholarly family, and he is from St. John's University, so I thought about it again and again, and decided to let you go for an interview, it is more appropriate.
Because no matter in terms of literary talent, background and other aspects, none of us here is better than you, Lin Rui is not old, and he is the same age as you, I think it should be easier for you to communicate with him than others. ”
Li Shiran was surprised: "I didn't expect this Lin Rui to be from St. John's University?" Still so young. ”
"Yes, he has both civil and military skills, wisdom and bravery, with his background, and now he has made such a great achievement, he will definitely soar in the future, and his future is limitless!" Li Changqing looked at his niece meaningfully and said.
The Li family is also a wealthy family in the Republic of China, but it is far worse than the Lin family, after figuring out Lin Rui's background, Li Changqing has his own little Jiujiu in his heart, so he thought of appointing Li Shiran as a war correspondent to interview Lin Rui on the front line.
Seeing that Li Shiran seemed to be thinking about something, Li Changqing asked, "Shiran, how is it, are you willing to go?" ”
"Yes." Li Shiran raised his head to meet Li Changqing's gaze and said, "I just want to see the demeanor of the anti-Japanese heroes, so leave this task to me." ”
"Okay, you can prepare, set off in the afternoon, I have already greeted Captain Ma of the Shanghai Police Corps, he will send a team of gendarmes to escort you to the front line, and there will be people from the Tax Police Corps to pick you up." Li Changqing said.
Li Shiran nodded: "Well, then I'll go first." ”
"Stay safe." Li Changqing instructed.
"I will, don't worry, uncle." Li Shiran answered and turned to leave.
……
On the front line of Jiangwan Road, Lin Rui's Eighth Company has become the most powerful company in the entire Tax Police Corps because of its great achievements.
In addition, the battle losses last night were not small, so they did not receive any more combat missions for the time being, but stayed as a reserve on the street of Jiangwan Road, which had actually become their rear position.
Sun Liren not only had the intention of letting the Eighth Company rest and recuperate, but also because he was notified by his superiors that there would be war reporters coming to interview, so he did not put the Eighth Company on the front line so quickly to continue to participate in the war.
Of course, with the victory on Jiangwan Road, the strength of the Japanese marines in Shanghai was greatly weakened, and the offensive of the Nationalist army became much smoother, and the war was not so tight.
If it was really an emergency on the battlefield, Sun Licai would not care about any interviews, and would definitely transfer Lin Rui and his heroic company as soon as possible.
In a circular fortification facing the street, Lin Rui, accompanied by Zhou Weihan and Lin Feng, was inspecting the position.
Zhou Weihan followed behind Lin Rui, listening to the rumbling artillery from the front line, and couldn't help but say, "Company commander, why did you say that the regimental seat left us as a reserve?" Listening to the sound of this gun so dense, but you can only wait and see, it is really itchy. ”
Lin Rui said: "Probably because the regiment is sympathetic to his subordinates, now is a rare opportunity for our eighth company to rest, you can be content, if the battle situation is unfavorable, this temporary rest will become a luxury at that time." ”
"The devils on Jiangwan Road have been killed by us, so wouldn't we be able to push all the way and easily solve all the Japanese troops in Shanghai, how could the war situation be unfavorable?" Zhou Weihan said disappreciatively.
Lin Rui just smiled bitterly and did not refute, it was impossible for him to tell Zhou Weihan and others now that the Warring States Army of Songhu would be defeated, and Shanghai would definitely be lost.
As a traverser, even if he knew that he couldn't do anything, he could stay out of it, so he put on this military uniform and did his best to contribute his strength to the overall situation of the Anti-Japanese War.
