What is the use of a company's strength on a battlefield where millions of troops are already fighting with their lives?

The special service battalion directly under the Central Military Academy's teaching corps entered Shanghai as the vanguard force, and other troops were still repairing and expanding their troops along the Yangtze River.

Therefore, the first combat order Ma Lan received was to let her lead her company to establish a second front at a position of one thousand meters behind the frontal battlefield. And on the right arm of each of them, there was an additional armband, and on the white base cloth were only three large blood-red letters...... Overseer Warband!

Ma Lan really didn't expect that these professional soldiers, who had received the most rigorous military training and held more advanced weapons than the Yue army, would play a role in such a big battlefield by setting up machine guns to prevent the soldiers of the brother troops from escaping, maybe the first bullet they fired on this battlefield did not hit the enemy, but their own compatriots!

Standing on this long street, where there was almost no longer a single figure, Ma Lan's eyes were suddenly attracted by a string of shoes hanging upside down on nails, and it was only at this time that she was surprised to find that she had actually returned here, back to the street where a man with a "dog" once passed by her.

The string of shoes, which had not been claimed by the owner, was still pitifully hanging upside down, but the strange man was gone.

"Go back, go back and fight again! If you continue to run back, you will be killed! ”

In the angry roar of Ma Lan, a group of soldiers who fled from the battlefield, facing the machine guns mounted on the sandbags by the warlords, these men who were stained with gunpowder and blood on their uniforms, but threw away their weapons and escaped when the motherland needed them most, all trembled slightly.

A company commander whose head was wrapped in heavy gauze, but the blood still couldn't stop seeping out of it, and even the company commander whose eyes were blinded by shrapnel pushed away the soldiers around him forcefully, and limped to the front, he stared at the muzzles of the black holes of the dozen machine guns, he clearly knew that at this extraordinary moment, if he didn't return to the battlefield with the soldiers around him, even if it was to make an example, the overseer team would definitely kill them!

Listening to the dense gunfire not far behind him, which almost had no gaps, and feeling the terrible vibration of heavy bombs and large-caliber shells pouring down from the sky, the company commander suddenly let out a loud cry: "It's hell, it's hell that can't be filled!" Before we could see the enemy, the two brigade commanders died under the bombardment of their own planes, and the division commander rushed to the position with four regiment commanders to supervise the battle, and in just five hours, more than half of our entire division of 15,000 men was defeated, and the division commander and the four regiment commanders were all killed! ”

"You say we are deserters and cowards, but you have opened my eyes to see clearly, which one of us here has not shed blood on the battlefield, and which one of us does not want to drive the devil out of Shanghai, but ......" The company commander suddenly snatched the Hanyang-made rifle in the hand of a wounded soldier next to him, held it high, and hissed: "I have aircraft bombing, battleships anchored on the Huangpu River for heavy artillery support, and tanks and armored vehicles to cover, this is the kind of thing in our hands, how do you want us to fight, and how do you want us to fight?!" ”

Looking at the rifle raised high in the hand of the company commander, Ma Lan's eyes couldn't help but flash a trace of helplessness and sympathy, and the soldiers of the special service company of the Central Teaching Corps beside her widened their eyes even more.

In the central subordinate troops, even if they are not German armourers, the soldiers can at least guarantee one rifle per person, and these local troops, to put it bluntly, are raised by the queen, and they often need two or three people to get a rifle. Among these weapons that they regarded as treasures, there were also things like old sleeves and Hanyang-made. The most exaggerated thing is that in order to prevent the bolt of the rifle from falling, the soldier who used this rifle actually tied the bolt to the grab stock with a hemp rope, and when the company commander raised the rifle, the bolt that slipped out of the chamber of the rifle hung upside down in the air and kept shaking, looking like a pendulum in a clock.

"Our company only has three Czech light machine guns that often fail and more than 50 Hanyang-made, plus six grenades on each person's body, and we can't lift our heads at all when we are hit by the machine guns of the people, and we don't have a single mountain gun in a regiment, let alone a tank that is said to be our own! Could you please tell me in this situation for me, how do you want us to fight? ”

The company commander pointed to the scarred soldiers behind him, and cried loudly: "I know that soldiers take obedience to orders as their duty, and I also know that raising soldiers is a thousand times and using soldiers for a while, but please take a look, which of these brothers around me is not raised by my father and mother, and which one is not a living flesh and blood person!" ”

"I know that a temporary retreat is a deserter, a coward, even if you beat me to death with a machine gun, I have no complaints, but I beg you, let go of these brothers around me! You see, some of them are just 16 years old, and some of them have 70-year-old mothers at home, let me bear all the sins, please spare these children! ”

"Bang!"

The company commander's head slammed heavily on the ground that was so heavy at their feet, but it was constantly moaning and trembling under the artillery fire, and the gauze on his head, which had been soaked with blood, was instantly dyed red. Looking at the company commander in front of him with sadness flashing in his eyes, Ma Lan closed her eyes in pain, she is also a human being, she is also a company commander who gets along with her brothers day and night, how could she not know how deep the feelings for her hands and feet are in this company commander's heart?!

Everyone's eyes fell on Ma Lan's face, and after a long, long silence, Ma Lan slowly raised his right hand, and there was a sudden sound of "bang", "bang", "bang" behind her.

"You now have two options!"

Ma Lan didn't dare to open her eyes at all, she really couldn't bear to look at the company commander's desperate eyes like a wounded wolf.

"The first choice is to be killed by all of us as deserters; The second choice is to hold the gun in your own hands, immediately turn around and return to your original battlefield, to be an upright man, to be a man who will die vigorously even if he dies! Don't forget that you are the 88th Division, which is called the 'hateful division' by the Japanese army on the battlefield of the Axis, which has withstood the wanton bombardment of the Japanese army for two months without losing an inch of position!! ”

The company commander who was kneeling on the ground stared blankly at Ma Lan, whose eyes were closed and his whole body was trembling slightly, and more than a dozen light and heavy machine guns set up on the temporary position of sandbags dozens of meters away.

Standing up and shaking off the tears in the corners of his eyes, the company commander looked at the soldier who had been following him, after experiencing too much wear and tear and getting along day and night, for him, the eldest brother of the company commander, he already had too much emotion and responsibility, and he suddenly let out a long howl like a wounded wolf: "All attention...... Turn back! ”

A group of soldiers with the same glint of despair in their eyes turned their bodies, and the company commander took the soldiers who were already less than a platoon in his company, with their tattered weapons, and turned around and threw themselves into the battlefield where blood and fire were mixed again. A strong gust of wind blew wildly, and together with the hurricane, it blew a drop of warm liquid on Malan's face.

Is this drop of liquid the blood that comes out of the soldiers, or their tears?

Malan didn't reach out to wipe it, so he didn't know!

Five minutes later, the company, which had only thirty or forty men left, had completely disappeared into the meat grinder made of steel and flame.

In August 1937, Shanghai, a beautiful city known as the "Paris of the East", was destined to become a purgatory on earth!
