The sixth son soon returned to the stele shop with the order, and the brigade headquarters of the 262nd Brigade agreed to Qin Chuan's request, and the brigade commander Zhu Chi personally called and arranged a train to Nanjing for them.

He also specially replied to Qin Chuan and the soldiers of the Ninth Company, saying that he was very surprised that they could break through the siege, and hoped that they would rush to Nanjing City as soon as possible to join the main force.

In Qin Chuan's memory, his brigade commander was a very upright person, and his eyes were full of perseverance. In the battle to support Luodian, the 262nd Brigade fought the fiercest one of the entire 88th Division, and the 4,000 officers and men of the brigade fought in Luodian for less than three days, and the losses exceeded one-third.

Such huge casualties also cost the Japanese army very heavy price. In more than a dozen battles, large and small, the 262nd Brigade killed no less than 1,000 Japanese soldiers in the Songhu battlefield.

If it weren't for the fact that the division commander Sun Yuanliang wanted to preserve his strength and privately ordered a retreat, their 262nd Brigade would have hoped to occupy Luodian again.

But all this came to naught with Sun Yuanliang's retreat order. The sudden retreat order also put the Ninth Company, which rushed to the front, into a predicament and almost wiped out its entire army.

By the afternoon, the shopkeeper had finished carving the stele.

The content of the stele is very simple, and it is basically the name of a person. If it seems to outsiders, this stele may be a little strange, but the soldiers of the Ninth Company know that the names on this stele each represent their comrades who died on the battlefield.

Every name here was once an incomparably fresh life. But now they have all turned into a name lying on a tombstone in order to fight the Japanese army, and there is no way to even bring back the corpse.

Qin Chuan and they hired an ox cart to transport this stone tablet engraved with the names of the sacrificed soldiers of the Ninth Company to Xiaobao's tomb.

After setting up the tombstone, Qin Chuan took out a handful of candy from his pocket. These candies are wrapped in confetti of various colors, as if they were rainbows.

In order to buy this candy, Qin Chuan walked around Jiangyin County for a full afternoon.

These candies were placed on the tombstone, and Qin Chuan and many soldiers of the Ninth Company stood on this small tombstone like this, and never left for a long time.

The wind on the river blew across the hills, and the whirring sound seemed to be the mourning of the soul. Those fallen heroic souls seemed to have found their home at this moment.

Lu Chengshuang watched such a scene from a distance, she had never experienced that incomparably tragic battle, and there was a scene when Xiaobao died.

But the incomparably solemn atmosphere made her realize that the dead people must be very important to the people of the Ninth Company.

"Brothers, go! When the little devils are gone, let's visit them again! Qin Chuan said loudly.

When everyone heard this, they saluted this tombstone with a brush, and then followed Qin Chuan and walked in the direction of Jiangyin County.

They arrived in Jiangyin County at night, and the mud and the faint rancid smell on their clothes made everyone who saw them subconsciously cover their noses.

After walking to the railway station, Qin Chuan identified the identity of his troops, and got on the train arranged for them very smoothly.

said that it was a train arranged for them, but in fact it was a civilian train, and a carriage was forcibly freed up for them.

Lu Chengshuang's destination was also Nanjing City, so he squeezed into the carriage with them, and drove towards Nanjing City amid the rumbling sound of train wheels.

Qin Chuan looked out of the car window, and the sparse lights in the dark night were as erratic as fishing fires on the river. In the near future, this place will also become a battlefield, and the iron hooves of the Japanese army will crush the last trace of peace in this water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

He was in a trance, in just a few days, he had already traveled from a special forces king to this era, and these soldiers under his command fought side by side, life and death together.

Looking at the lights outside the car window, which symbolized peace and peace, and then thinking of the mess that had been crushed by the iron hooves of the Japanese army, he strengthened his belief in his heart.

In any case, this group of thieves must be driven out of this beautiful land that has nurtured the Chinese civilization for 5,000 years.

The train was bumpy all night before it arrived at the railway station in Nanjing.

At this time, the station was very chaotic, and many trains carrying wounded soldiers and troops arrived here. Most of the soldiers who were withdrawn from the Songhu battlefield were in a trance, with sallow faces and shabby clothes.

Only the mental outlook of the soldiers of the Ninth Company was not bad, but they were covered in mud and blood, and at first glance they crawled out of the pile of dead people.

After getting off the train, Lu Chengshuang, whose ankle had recovered almost the same, didn't need to be supported by Qin Chuan anymore.

She stepped off the train and took a deep breath of the air of Nanjing.

This is her hometown, and as soon as she gets off the train, she feels an extremely familiar breath blowing over her face.

"It's time to go back to Nanjing." At this time, Qin Chuan, who had just finished gathering his troops, said to Lu Chengshuang behind him.

Lu Chengshuang turned his head and smiled at Qin Chuan.

I have to say that Lu Chengshuang, this girl is really beautiful, and her smile is quite exciting.

Qin Chuan retracted his gaze and calmed his mind.

"yes, I should go back. We ····· Will we ever see each other again? Lu Chengshuang asked Qin Chuan with his head sideways.

Qin Chuan groaned and said, "I don't know, our troops are over and will rush to the Songhu area again." The fighting over there is very tense, and we should not be able to stay in Nanjing for a few days. ”

Hearing this, Lu Chengshuang's bright eyes suddenly dimmed a little. But she immediately squeezed out a smile again, and then said: "I hope you can still triumph then, you are so brave, you will definitely be able to win against the Japanese devils." ”

Qin Chuan knew how history was going, and that was something he couldn't change at this time.

The Battle of Songhu would end in failure, and the city of Nanjing would fall afterwards. The wheels of history rolled forward, and he simply couldn't stop it.

"Definitely!" Although he knew the result of this general battle, Qin Chuan still said so.

"Company commander, it's time to go, someone from the brigade headquarters has already come to pick us up." The voice of the sixth son in the distance pulled Qin Chuan back from the faint sadness of parting.

"Let's go!" After Qin Chuan finished speaking, he nodded to Lu Chengshuang, turned around and ran towards the soldiers of the Ninth Company.

Lu Chengshuang looked at Qin Chuan's distant back, and only turned his head for a while to wipe away the teardrop that overflowed from the corner of his eye that he didn't know when.
