Battalion Commander Qiu Qilou walked to Malan silently and looked at the dried blood on Malan's face. Now the blood has dried up and contracted. Her face must be as depressed as if she was wearing a layer of too tight rubber mask, right?

Qiu Qilou shouted softly: "Malan!"

Malan was still sitting there blankly, as if only the instinct and impulse of killing were left in her body, and there was nothing else.

Qiu Qilou took a deep breath, and he suddenly shouted loudly: "Stand up!"

"Crazy..."

With the order from Battalion Commander Qiu Qilou, under the impossible situation, Malan actually jumped up from the middle of a pile of guns and bullet shells!

"salute!"

As Qiu Qilou shouted loudly, his right hand slashed hard at the brim of his hat. Almost at the same time, Malan's right hand also unconsciously made a standard military salute to the commander in front of him.

Qiu Qilou took the cabbage and pork stuffed buns from the old lady's hand, handed it to Malan, and shouted sternly: "Eat!"

After receiving the order, Malan lowered her head and ate it without saying a word. In a blink of an eye, the cabbage and pork-filled bun disappeared in her hands. The old lady standing next to Qiu Qilou showed a look of joy in her eyes. As long as she could still eat, this daughter would be saved!

The old lady quickly opened an aluminum box serving rice, poured out a bowl of soup from it, handed it to Qiu Qilou, and then made a gesture to Malan to "convene her to drink".

A aluminum bowl was delivered to Malan, and Qiu Qilou's order was still as simple and effective: "Drink!"

The thick, hot soup poured into Malan's mouth, fragrant, with a hint of sweetness and bitterness. As soon as it rushed into her stomach, a warm heat was raised. This turned out to be a bowl of ginseng soup that I didn't know how long it had been stewed.

When the first sip of ginseng soup was drunk into her stomach, Malan's movements became significantly slower. She drank slowly, slowly savoring the warmth and bitter and sweet taste in the soup, and slowly savoring the taste of living. In this bowl of ordinary ginseng soup, Malan unexpectedly found a taste that belonged to her mother.

After drinking a bowl of ginseng soup, a trace of blood appeared on Malan's pale face. Her dull eyes finally became a little angry because of this bowl of ginseng soup.

Looking at the scarred Malan and looking at the second-level iron cross medal that the German special forces instructor on her chest, Qiu Qilou really wanted to slap Malan a few times to teach this bastard who did not obey orders and completely fought the whole company. However, looking at Malan standing there alone, still proudly thrusting his chest, looking at the bloody emperor's imperial sword on her hand, Qiu Qilou wanted to hold Malan into his arms and use his warm and broad chest to smooth out the coldness on Malan's body bit by bit.

But Qiu Qilou could do nothing. He was silent for a while before slowly saying a sentence: "Retreat, your mission is completed!"

"retreat?"

Hearing this absolutely unexpected order, looking at the dozen fully armed soldiers behind Qiu Qilou, Malan tried to open her eyes wide, her eyes patrolling around, and she asked foolishly: "Are our reinforcements coming? Then which unit should I transfer the position to?!"

"There will be no reinforcements, and there is no need to send troops to garrison here!"

Facing Malan's dull eyes with childlike persistence, Qiu Qilou turned his head. At this time, he really couldn't bear to look at Malan and look at her face again.

A strange fluctuation rose in Qiu Qilou's eyes, and he whispered: "Four days ago, the Japanese army concentrated the 3rd, 13th, and 101st Divisions. With the support of bombers and heavy artillery, they launched a continuous fierce attack on our 21st Group Army, breaking through the defending positions between Miaoxing and Chen Jiaxing, and capturing Miaoxing and the big field. Hundreds of thousands of Central Army on the north bank of Suzhou River were attacked from both sides. They had received orders to abandon the North Station and Jiangwan positions and strategically transfer to the south bank of Suzhou River."

Strategic transfer?!

The transfer of hundreds of thousands of Central Army, abandoning the North Station and Jiangwan positions... Putting aside all literal meanings and flashy words to cover up, it is to put it bluntly that after fighting bloody battles with the Japanese army for nearly three months and paying the price of more than 200,000 brothers, the Chinese army was still defeated!

This was a complete defeat, a crushing defeat!

With hundreds of thousands of Central Army withdrawing from the battlefield in Xiabei, they have lost at least one-third of the territory control of Shanghai, a beautiful city! Without the battlefield in Xiabei, the Japanese army can already form a siege of the entire Shanghai. They have completely failed in this battle of investing millions of troops!

Malan stood there blankly, trying to digest the information that Qiu Qilou brought to her. Suddenly a crazy smile rose from Malan's face. Suddenly, she burst into tears again, and suddenly her whole body began to tremble uncontrollably.

"Hahaha……"

The crazy laugh suddenly tore through the battlefield that had been silent for several hours. Malan pointed to the land soaked in the blood of his brothers, and pointed to the brothers who still retained their heroic posture during their lifetime and deserved the duty of a soldier. She laughed wildly.

It was not until this time that Malan knew why they lost two-thirds of their combat personnel on the first day, but they were able to hold this position for four days!

It was not until this time that Malan knew why such a company was guarding this axis battlefield, without reinforcements and logistics supplies for four days; it was not until this time that Malan knew why this axis position seemed to have been completely forgotten, allowing them to guard the soldiers here to become real abandoned soldiers!

It turns out that this axis battlefield, a defensive line that must not be missed, lost its true strategic significance four days ago and became a useless piece of ribs in the entire grand strategy!

If she was not the soldiers of the Central Military Academy's Special Service Battalion, if she had not had a good boss like Qiu Qilou, who would have cared about the life and death of a small company like them in such a battle where millions of troops were invested and tens of thousands of people were killed every day?

At this time, Malan remembered that she used a machine gun to force the company commander back to the battlefield of death, thought of his desperate and crazy face, and the tears that drifted with the wind.

Malan remembered the brothers who were still flesh and blood four days ago, who could speak loudly and laugh hard. When the country needed them, when the army needed them, she led her brothers to the forefront of the battlefield without hesitation. They sang war songs without regrets, and resisted the Japanese attacks again and again under the enemy's bombing.

But it was not until this time that she realized that they had tried their best to defend, but they were already a "strategic area" that had no meaning anymore. It turned out that their troops who had fallen into the trap and gave up safely and quit the battlefield and rushed to the forefront of the battlefield had become the most tragic and pitiful abandoned soldiers who could only die! What's the point of them fighting desperately on an abandoned battlefield like this?!

"Bang!"

At this time, Malan could no longer support her too heavy body. She couldn't help but soften her knees and knelt heavily on the land. Malan, a soldier who was bleeding and sweating on the battlefield but did not shed a single cry, finally couldn't help crying loudly.

"It was me, I brought my brothers into this battlefield. I thought that even if we die, we would die as much as possible. Even if we die, we could be more important than Mount Tai, and we would have our own value, but..."

Malan stretched out her hand and grabbed a handful of soil from the ground. She threw the soil containing too many shrapnel and blood in her hand hard and spilled it out. She screamed and said, "I'm wrong, I'm wrong, I'm wrong! Brothers, I'm sorry for you! Why am I so stupid, why am I so stupid..."

Qiu Qilou walked to Malan, and he looked at the woman kneeling on the ground with complicated eyes. Since she entered the Central Military Academy Teaching Corps, she had never bent down her waist no matter what she faced, and she had never cried. She insisted on using her own strength to break out her own world in a world where the strong are respected!

But now she was crying, she was crying loudly, she was crying for her brothers, for the beautiful city that was about to be lost, for the 250,000 brothers who had been sleeping on this land, and for the even more unpredictable future of China!

He reached out and gently stroked Malan's shoulder, Qiu Qilou said softly: "Malan, do you really think that what you do is a stupid thing or a stupid thing? Listen, you prick up your ears and listen carefully, they are cheering at you!"

"Hero! Hero! Hero! Hero! Hero…"

Behind Malan, the Shanghai citizens who risked their lives to send food to the position were cheering at Malan. When Malan turned her head slowly with tears on her face, facing the female soldier who was bleeding and sweating on the battlefield but not a single tear, facing this big girl who cried desperately and cried sadly, the applause suddenly rang out.

There were fanatical cheers everywhere, as if the Chinese army had achieved the final victory in this battle to defend the country and expel the invaders from their territory. In their eyes, Malan and the soldiers she led were a group of great heroes who were walking on the road of triumph and receiving cheers from the crowd!

"Yes, you led all the brothers in the company to defend with your life, which is indeed a position that has lost its strategic significance."

Qiu Qilou looked at the Shanghai citizens who were standing on the position in front of him, but straightened his body, shouted loudly, and shouted hard, almost slapped their hands, and said softly: "But look carefully, listen carefully, you have proved yourself with your actual actions, and won true respect. Malan, I thank you, for your army, for our long ten years, we have won the hearts of the people because of our continuous retreat, tolerance and loss of people! If I insist on making an evaluation of the battle you decided without authorization, it means that you have made merits and demerits, and the merits are greater than demerits!"
Chapter completed!
