At the front line, when he saw Lin Rui coming back, Zhou Weihan, Lin Feng and others, he immediately stood up to greet him: "Camp, I'm back."

"Yes." Lin Rui nodded slightly and ordered Zhou Weihan: "Old Zhou, notify the troops to gather immediately, and there are important combat tasks."

"Yes!" Zhou Weihan responded with a loud promise, saluted and turned around and left.

...

On the banks of Suzhou River, the injured camp of the Third Battalion.

Shangguan Nianci was changing the medicine for a soldier injured by the bomb. Li Muxue brought a portion of fried rice. After she finished her work, she handed it to her and said, "Nianci, you haven't eaten anything for almost a day, hurry up and eat something."

Shangguan Nianci raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, took the fried rice, but handed it to the wounded in front of him and said, "You eat it."

"Miss Shangguan, I'm not hungry, you can eat." The wounded soldier was moved and tears were filled with refusal.

Shangguan Nianci directly grabbed his hand and put the bowls and chopsticks in his hand: "Be obedient and eat more to recover as soon as possible, and then continue to follow your battalion commander to the front line to kill the Japanese!"

Li Muxue wanted to speak but stopped, but was pulled away by Shangguan Nianci.

The wounded soldier was so moved that he burst into tears and started eating it in big mouthfuls. This was the most delicious meal he had ever eaten.

Li Muxue complained a little with some grievances: "Nianci, that's the last fried rice in the kitchen team. I specially kept it for you."

Shangguan Nianci patted her on the shoulder and comforted her, "It's okay, I'm not hungry. Compared to these wounded soldiers who were suffering from pain and torture, we are nothing compared to the soldiers fighting on the front line."

"But..." Li Muxue wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Shangguan Nianci and said, "Just get some warm water for me, it will also fill my hunger and lose weight."

Li Muxue gave Shangguan Nianci a white look: "When is it now? You are still in the mood to joke."

Shangguan Nianci smiled and looked back at the front line. He saw scarlet fires rising from the sky everywhere, as if he wanted to illuminate the vast night sky.

Before, Lin Rui led his troops to the Lion Forest to join the war. Shangguan Nianci did not ask Lin Rui to take him with him, but instead took the initiative to stay and take care of the wounded soldiers.

It’s not that she doesn’t want to be with Lin Rui, but that she understands that fighting on the front line is not her own strength, and going there will only become a burden to Lin Rui.

Therefore, she chose to stay and do her best to take care of the wounded soldiers, which was also a part of her work, and at the same time, she tried her best to avoid any worries for Lin Rui.

Li Muxue brought her warm water, and looked at her dazed to the southeast again. While handing her a kettle, she said, "Are you worried about Lin Rui again?"

Shangguan Nianci did not deny it: "Yes, the battlefield is so dangerous, I don't know how he is now."

Li Muxue comforted: "Don't worry, Lin Rui is so powerful, he will definitely turn bad luck into good luck."

Shangguan Nianci nodded slightly and prayed silently for Lin Rui in his heart.

...

On the position of the Third Battalion, except for the necessary guard sentries, all the soldiers of the entire Third Battalion were ordered to complete the assembly.

They stood in the trenches in rows, waiting for Lin Rui's orders.

After two fierce white-hot battles, the Third Battalion dropped sharply from 300 to 200. Therefore, Lin Rui and Yu Weiguo discussed and selected 100 people from their troops, and then selected 100 people from other troops of the Tax Police Regiment 2.

Form a commando to serve as the vanguard of this night attack counterattack.

Yu Weiguo returned to his troops and picked people. Zhou Weihan walked to Lin Rui with great strides and saluted him and reported: "Battlehouse, the entire third battalion has been assembled, please instruct!"

Lin Rui nodded, then jumped onto a bunker next to him, glanced at the soldiers of the Third Battalion in the trenches and said at the top of his voice: "Brothers, I just received the order from the regiment to organize a commando to launch a night attack against the Japanese invaders for the vanguard of the entire regiment to regain our lost position!

Now, all 8th Company is out of the list!”

In the crowd, dozens of officers and soldiers from the Eighth Company came out one after another and gathered in the trenches in front of Lin Rui.

The Eighth Company is Lin Rui’s old army, so this time they will definitely join the commando.

After nodding to dozens of subordinates, Lin Rui said in a deep voice to the remaining more than 100 third battalions officers and soldiers: "Who is the only male in the family raised his hand!"

Seeing that the soldiers looked at each other and did not understand their intentions, Lin Rui said: "The suicide squad will die for a lifetime, and the only son will be left, and the others will follow me!"

After hearing what Lin Rui said, none of the officers and soldiers raised their hands.

It’s not that there are no only children, but that they are unwilling to stay. They want to join the suicide squad with their battalion commanders.

Lin Rui looked at this scene and was slightly moved. The middle-aged people in this era are the best soldiers just like the era he came from.

Perhaps most of them have not received any decent knowledge education, but in this great and arduous war of patriotism, they all showed the responsibility and courage that a middle-aged man should have.

Knowing that he might die, he was resolute and volunteered to join the war. This is the bloody nature of the Chinese and the spirit of not admitting defeat and not afraid of death.

Looking at the five thousand years of history in China, the sky leaks and we replenish the sky. There are too many suns, we shoot the sun, and floods come. We control the water and defend against nomadic peoples. We build the Great Wall. It is inconvenient to transport north and south. We build canals. We do not believe in God or heaven. We only rely on ourselves to fight the sky and fight the earth just to survive.

When Japan invades China, the Chinese are in danger of life and death again, then we will fight against Japan!

The Third Battalion, a unit whose passion and fighting spirit were completely ignited by Lin Rui, is a microcosm of all the soldiers of the Anti-Japanese War. With Lin Rui as the soul figure, they are fearless, and even if they know they are dead, they will stand up.

Finally, Lin Rui selected dozens of soldiers and gathered a hundred people with the Eighth Company. More than half an hour later, Yu Weiguo also brought a hundred soldiers from the Independent Brigade of the Guangdong Army to come over.

Sun Liren also personally selected one hundred elite soldiers for them, and brought one hundred flower mechanisms, twenty Czech and twenty Mauser pistols, as well as a large number of grenades and ammunition to the forefront.

Before leaving, Sun Liren solemnly addressed Lin Rui and Yu Wei Guodao: "I will do my best to provide you with artillery fire support, and I hope you will be able to successfully break through in one fell swoop!"

Lin Rui stood attentively and saluted and promised: "Please rest assured that if you can't take the Japanese position, there will be no one in the suicide squad who will withdraw from the battle alive!"

Sun Liren replied with a solemn look back and nodded, "Good, what you say is awesome. I wish you success and return triumphantly. I would like to ask for your merits!"

After saying that, Sun Liren turned around and left with his adjutant and guards.

Lin Rui handed over the remaining troops of the Third Battalion to the commander of the first company commander. He himself, Yu Weiguo, Lin Feng, Zhou Weihan and others, led 300 suicide squads to the forefront trenches, waiting for the horn of the attack.
Chapter completed!
