To be honest, when Shangguan Nianci said this, Lin Rui was shocked at first, but when he saw her firm gaze, Lin Rui understood that she was not a joke, but serious, and felt a little joy in his heart.

Shangguan Nianci is an extremely outstanding woman. She is unparalleled in appearance, temperament, figure, knowledge and emotional intelligence. Naturally, Lin Rui, a woman of such an excellent one, naturally cannot dislike it.

Lin Rui naturally could not be unhappy if he could get her active love.

However, Lin Rui did not accept Shangguan Nianci immediately, but looked at her for a long time, as if she wanted to remember her appearance. The smile on Shangguan Nianci's face and the expectation in her eyes gradually solidified, turning into fear of gains and losses. Bingxue was smart and realized that Lin Rui might have to reject her.

Before she could speak, Lin Rui lowered his head slightly with a shameful look away from her terrified horror, and said word by word: "Nianci, I'm sorry, I can't agree to you."

"Why?" Shangguan Nianci asked with tears in his eyes.

Lin Rui felt her gaze, raised his head again, and looked at her face. Although the voice was not loud, he said firmly: "The country is in danger, and the country is already worthy of a seven-foot body, and it is hard to give her any more."

"I'm not afraid!" Shangguan Nianci instantly understood Lin Rui's worries and painstaking efforts, and said with tears in his eyes.

"I'm afraid!" Lin Rui said: "The war situation is critical now. I may sacrifice for the country at any time and cannot give you any happiness or promises. So, please ask Miss Shangguan to find another good man."

After saying that, Lin Rui was about to turn around and leave.

Shangguan Nianci exclaimed reluctantly: "Lin Rui! Stop!"

Lin Rui stopped, Shangguan Nianci took a step forward and asked softly: "Then I will ask you a question, and you can answer me truthfully, okay?"

Lin Rui did not look back, but nodded: "Well, ask."

"Do you like me?" Shangguan Nianci spoke with hope, and was afraid that Lin Rui would deliberately speak to deceive him, so he quickly added without waiting for his answer: "Don't deliberately lie and deceive others, and tell the truth."

However, before Lin Rui could think of how to answer, a soldier ran over quickly and saw Lin Rui running to him immediately, and stood attentively and saluted: "Battle, the regiment headquarters urgently ordered you to go there!"

"I understand." Lin Rui nodded, then turned his head and glanced at Shangguan Nianci quietly, and told her: "Student Shangguan, I'm leaving first, take care of myself!"

After saying that, Lin Rui stepped forward and walked quickly.

"Lin, Lin Rui!" Shangguan Nianci was not satisfied yet, but seeing Lin Rui leaving firmly, he chased after a few steps and had to stop.

Looking at Lin Rui's departure back, she was talking to herself secretly; Lin Rui, do you know that my heart belongs to the king and it is hard to let others...

Lin Rui arrived at the regiment headquarters and found out that the regiment commander Sun Liren looked for him this time because he planned to launch a major attack on the Japanese army to ease the current unfavorable situation by attacking instead of defense.

He even tried to reverse the decline of the entire Battle of Songhu in one fell swoop and win the victory of the Battle of Songhu.

The task of Sun Liren's troops was to move the entire regiment to defend against the Lion Fortress.

The Lion Forest was between Chuanshakou and Wusongkou. As early as August 23, Matsui Ishigen led the main forces of the 11th Division to Shanghai, and with the powerful firepower of the navy as a cover, they launched an attack on the front lines of Chuanshakou, Yuepu, Shinigro, Baoshan and Wusongkou respectively.

With its powerful naval artillery fire, it once occupied Sichuan Shakou, Lion Forest and other places. Fortunately, the newly formed 15th Army arrived at the front line in time under the leadership of General Luo Zhuoying and launched a counterattack on the landing places of Sichuan Shakou, Lion Forest and other places.

After most of the fierce battles in Xia Chuzhong, the 98th Division successfully annihilated the enemies occupying the Lion Fortress and recaptured the place.

However, the Japanese army then reorganized its troops and launched several consecutive fierce attacks. In addition, Sichuan Shakou and other places were successively lost, and the Lion Fortress was in danger.

If the Lion Forest is lost, the landing grounds of the Japanese Army's 11th Division can be connected, which will be extremely unfavorable.

Therefore, after discussion, the General Command of the Songhu Front made a decision to use the Second Regiment of the Tax Police, the Third Regiment, and a garrison of the 98th Division who had made many military achievements, who had just been transferred from Guangzhou to the Guangdong Army's Independent Brigade to assist the Lion Fort.

After repelling the enemy in front of you, you will then detour and attack the enemy's rear in Kawasakou and Yuepu, and cooperate with the main force to defeat the landing enemy of the Japanese army.

When Sun Liren convened Lin Rui and other officers to have a meeting, the Guangdong Army Independent Brigade and the Tax Police Corps, which had just arrived from Jiaxing, had already set out first and rushed to the Lion Forest.

After Sun Liren briefly introduced the battlefield situation and the enemy-to-our situation, he asked Lin Rui to lead the third battalion to set out first.

Although Lin Rui knew that at this time, he would not gain anything except for the increase in casualties by risking the enemy's powerful naval guns and air firepower.

However, it was impossible to dissuade him, because no one would listen to the advice of the major battalion commander, even if he was a well-known anti-Japanese hero.

Especially in the context where the entire action may have begun to be put into action, Lin Rui has no choice but to execute the orders.

This is mainly because the senior commanders of the Songhu battlefield, holding hundreds of thousands of elite Central Army forces and the reinforcements are still coming to reinforce from all directions, did not realize that the Shanghai Japanese army, which could receive support from the sea at any time, could be invincible.

After all, it was because most of the generals at that time were old soldiers, with outdated and backward tactical ideas, and very few people had strategic vision. Later, many famous anti-Japanese generals from China and abroad had not yet grown up and had no say like Lin Rui.

This can be seen from the fact that Sun Liren was just a colonel leader.

Sun Liren had already regarded Lin Rui and his third battalion as the most elite ace troops in his hands, so he directly sent Lin Rui's troops as the sharp knife troops.

Because he knew that this counterattack was likely to fail, Lin Rui immediately made some arrangements after returning to the temporary garrison of the Third Battalion and ordered all the wounded soldiers and military doctors to stay.

Shangguan Nianci and Li Muxue were naturally here. Seeing Lin Rui like this, Zhou Weihan, who had been promoted to the commander of the eighth company, asked: "Company Commander, why don't you bring medical staff this time? What should you do if your brothers are injured?"

"I'm injured and there are medical staff from the regiment headquarters." Lin Rui said: "Don't ask so much, hurry up and prepare to set off."

In addition to not wanting Shangguan Nianci and Li Muxue to take risks, Lin Rui's arrangements were made, and considering that the Third Battalion still had many wounded soldiers to take care of. Instead of letting them follow the dangerous and unpredictable Lion Forest, it would be better to stay and take care of the wounded soldiers.

Lin Rui, who is not in charge of other troops, cannot directly let others make the worst plans according to their requirements. However, Lin Rui of the Third Battalion has the final say, so he naturally has to make comprehensive arrangements. This is called a matter of duty.
