Chapter 50
Guangzhou, Yu family mansion.
Yu Wanyou was pacing back and forth nervously on the garden path behind her backyard door, her little hands clutching the hem of her skirt, her pretty face full of anxiety and anxiety.
Because she knew that the Battle of Songhu had broken out, Yu Wanyou was worried about Lin Rui every day after she returned from Shanghai, but her father was very angry about her last time leaving home and going to Shanghai, and she was not allowed to go out at will.
Therefore, she could only ask her maid to secretly go to the street to buy a newspaper about the Battle of Songhu, or to be precise, about Lin Rui, to understand Lin Rui's safety.
So, she is waiting for her maid to return now.
In previous newspapers, Yu Wanyou already knew that Lin Rui led his troops to destroy the Japanese Jiangwan Road Command, defeated the Japanese major general, and became a hero in the anti-Japanese war.
Just as Yu Wanyou and others were nervous and anxious, a slight knock on the door came from outside the backyard.
Yu Wanyou immediately walked behind the door and asked, "Xiao Rou, is it you?"
Outside the door, a young girl who looked only seventeen or eighteen years old and looked pretty and dressed as a maid replied carefully: "Miss, it's me, open the door quickly."
Yu Wanyou immediately opened the backyard door, welcomed Xiaorou, who was dressed in green, and asked, "Xiaorou, how about it? Is there any news about Lin Rui in today's newspaper?"
Xiaorou calmed down her excitement and nodded seriously: "Yes! Miss, Lin Rui is in the newspaper again, please read it."
As he said that, he hurriedly handed the newspaper in his hand to Yu Wanyou.
Yu Wanyou hurriedly took the newspaper rolled together and saw Lin Rui's military uniform photo with bloody clothes covered in military clothes, and couldn't help but be amazed.
He said with great distress: "What's wrong with Arui? Why do you look so miserable?"
Xiaorou said inexplicably: "I can't recognize all the words on the newspaper, but I heard from the tabloids selling newspapers on the street that this time the newspaper calls Lin Rui the God of Bloody War."
Yu Wanyou carefully read the text next to the photo, and then confirmed that Lin Rui was safe and sound, a heart that was holding fell back into her stomach.
Holding the newspaper in his hand tightly, he looked up at the northern sky, and prayed softly, "Arui, you must come back alive, I'm still waiting for you to marry me."
After saying that, she clasped her hands together, placed them near her chin, closed her eyes and prayed silently.
Then he said to the maid: "Xiao Rou, I'll write a letter, please send it for me."
"Okay." Xiaorou responded quickly.

Shanghai, Liujiatang battlefield.
The Japanese in the 1st Battalion of the 6th Infantry Regiment stopped attacking and retreated to safety. About a squadron of Japanese artillery built an artillery position on an open ground behind them.
Eight seventy-five-mm mountain cannons were lined up by hundreds of Japanese artillery soldiers.
In front of them, there are six sixty-mm mortars.
In the Japanese army's system at that time, a direct artillery gang of Class A Division was usually equipped with artillery of about 36 pieces of about 75 mm and 105 mm of artillery of different calibers.
Therefore, an artillery squadron can be equipped with at most eight artillery pieces.
As for the six additional sixty-mm mortars, they were drawn from several brigades of the 6th Infantry Regiment.
The Japanese army, which had long completed the industrial revolution and modernization construction, knew better the benefits of centralized use of artillery fire.
Especially when they did not get the firepower of the naval artillery and the firepower support of the artillery gang directly under the division, the concentrated use of artillery fire from the entire regiment naturally became the inevitable choice of Kura Nagataji.
After the fourteen artillery was ready, as a lieutenant artillery squadron leader waved the flag, the fourteen main gunners pulled the firing rope in their hands one after another.
Kou Kou! Eight seven-five mountain cannons and six six-zero mortars roared one after another.
Fourteen shells fell to the third camp position two kilometers away opposite, and exploded violently.
Boom boom boom! Boom boom boom!
On the third camp's position, clusters of scarlet fires rose one after another with the explosion.
As the smoke filled the gunpowder, Lin Rui held his Mauser pistol in one hand, hugging and shuttled through the trenches in the frontier positions, urging and reminding the light and heavy machine gunners to move their positions.
At the same time, I did not forget to remind other soldiers to pay attention to anti-aircraft artillery.
In the first round of artillery bombardment, there were more or less test shots, and all hit rates were not too high.
However, when they use this to adjust the shooting angle, the hit rate of the next wave of shelling will increase at an extremely terrifying speed.
Lin Rui risked being hit by a shell and wandered around the trenches, which still played a role.
Before the second round of Japanese artillery attacks arrived, most of the light and heavy firepower on the third battalion's positions were transferred or hidden in advance.
Therefore, the Japanese's subsequent series of fierce shellings failed to cause too much damage to the Third Battalion.
Perhaps the artillery squadrons carried not very abundant shells, and the Japanese bombardment only took more than ten rounds before it began to extend.
The 2nd Infantry Brigade, which took over the attack of the 1st Battalion, had more than 800 Japanese troops, carrying rifles and lined up with scattered soldiers, rushed towards the third battalion position again in groups.
Lin Rui has returned to the forefront trenches. Zhang Xinghan, who is also staying here, couldn't help but report to him loudly: "Sir, the Japanese are starting to attack again!"
Lin Rui walked into a fox pit, stood up and looked out of the position through the smoke generated by the Japanese artillery bombardment.
I saw a large number of Japanese soldiers lined up in scattered lines, swarming towards their own positions with murderous intent.
Lin Rui's heart sank and immediately shouted: "Brothers, cheer me up. No matter how many Japanese people come, we will block them in Liujiatang. Unless our third camp is dead, there will be no small Japanese passing by here!"
While boosting morale, Lin Rui quickly put away his pistol, picked up the Mauser 98 rifle placed aside, and raised the gun and began to aim.
This time, he quickly locked the target again and fired decisively!
Bang! Puff! At least three hundred meters away, a Japanese sergeant with a small plaster flag hanging at the muzzle was shot on his forehead and fell down straight with a muffled groan.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Rui quickly pulled the bolt and raised his gun to aim and fire again.
Bang! Another hot Mauser rifle bullet broke out and sniped a Japanese soldier 280 meters away with a roar.
Seeing Lin Rui shooting and killing two Japanese soldiers in a blink of an eye, the morale of the soldiers of the Third Battalion on the position was greatly encouraged.
Zhang Xinghan couldn't help but take the lead in applauding Lin Rui. After following Lin Rui to fight side by side, Zhang Xinghan understood why Lin Rui was able to create miracles twice in succession and achieve many extraordinary achievements.
Chapter completed!
