Lin Rui heard Li Shiran sobbing behind her back and turned to comfort her: "Miss Li, stop crying, I'm fine."

After saying that, he turned around and took the lead in walking towards the company.

Lin Feng followed him and immediately shouted at the top of his voice: "Sanitary! Sanitary! Come here..."

The next day, the newspaper with Lin Rui's military uniform photo was spread in Nanjing, Hangzhou and other places.

It resonated with countless patriotic youths, and many intellectuals, patriotic youths and workers took to the streets to march to echo.

There were countless people who went directly to the recruitment offices of the National Government in various places to sign up for the army.

Lin Rui's personal reputation has reached an unprecedented new height in various parts of Jiangnan.

However, Lin Rui and the Eighth Company have not received any more missions to go to the front line.

The next morning, Lin Rui got up early and asked the health officer to change his back to change his medicine. He summoned Zhou Weihan and ordered: "Old Zhou, gather all the supplementary soldiers we brought yesterday and the old brothers of our Eighth Company. I have something to say!"

"Yes!" Zhou Weihan saluted and happily took the order and left.

As soon as Zhou Weihan left, Li Shiran walked in with a bowl of rice porridge and said to Lin Rui: "Company Commander Lin, how are the injuries on your back?"

Lin Rui looked at her and said calmly: "It's okay, it's a little hurt."

"You haven't had breakfast yet, hurry up and eat some while it's hot." Li Shiran handed the rice porridge to Lin Rui with concern.

Lin Rui was not polite, and took the dishes and started eating them in big mouthfuls.

Li Shiran looked at him having a meal and a sweet smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Lin Rui quickly ate all the rice porridge. Seeing Li Shiran staring at him in a daze, he asked, "Miss Li, what's wrong?"

Li Shiran then came to her senses, and her pretty face was a little embarrassed and blushed: "Ah, no, nothing."

At this time, Zhou Weihan ran in from outside quickly and reported to Lin Rui: "Company Commander, brothers have all gathered together and wait for you to come."

Lin Rui nodded and said, "Okay!" Then he handed the bowls and chopsticks in his hand back to Li Shiran and said, "Thank you Miss Li for breakfast."

After saying that, he took Zhou Weihan to walk out with great strides.

On the street outside the company, more than 100, eighth company veterans and 200 supplementary soldiers had all assembled and arranged into four uniform columns, waiting for Lin Rui's speech.

Seeing Lin Rui coming, Lin Feng, who had been promoted to rows of platoons by Lin Rui, took the lead and shouted: "Salute!"

Under his leadership, more than 300 officers and soldiers stood up and saluted Lin Rui and Zhou Weihan.

Lin Rui came to the team, raised his hand and replied with a military salute, and glanced coldly over all the officers and soldiers present, especially the 200 supplementary soldiers.

He said with a deep voice: "Brothers, please gather you together and have two things to announce. One is that from now on, you will be part of my 8th Company. You are not new recruits, so I won't say anything politely.

When we go to the battlefield, we will see the truth. My requirements for you are very simple, only eight words. Dare to fight! If you don’t escape, you would rather die! You won’t surrender!”

The second thing is to chat with everyone, which can be regarded as a pre-war mobilization."

After a pause, Lin Rui continued to speak: "Since the September 18th Incident, we first lost the three northeastern provinces, and then lost the Rehe River.

Today, our country has reached its most dangerous moment, and our nation is facing a crisis of life and death!

As descendants of Yan and Huang, Chinese men, and contemporary Chinese soldiers, what do you think we should do?”

This is, Li Shiran has already walked out of the company headquarters, standing at the gate of the company headquarters, behind Lin Rui, looking at Lin Rui who is speaking passionately.

The officers and soldiers of the Eighth Company did not speak because they didn't know what to say. It was not difficult to see from their earnest gaze that they wanted to hear Lin Rui tell him what to do.

So, Lin Rui was silent for a while and said loudly again: "Since you don't know, then I'll tell you!

No matter who dares to destroy our country and our race, we will fight to the end with them! Fight to the death!

Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of a country! At this time when the country is in danger and the nation is in danger, as Chinese soldiers, we should sacrifice everything and resolutely safeguard our territorial integrity!

Because the territory is not complete, the country will perish!”

"Bloody battle to the end! Fight to the death!" Lin Feng and Zhou Weihan immediately took the lead and shouted.

Whether it was the more than 120 veterans who had fought with Lin Rui for the rest of his life, or the two hundred replenishing soldiers who had just returned, it seemed like a spark was ignited with a pile of firewood.

They all followed him and roared angrily;

"Bloody battle to the end! Swear to defend the country to the death!"

"Bloody battle to the end! Swear to defend the country to the death!"

"Bloody battle to the end! Swear to defend the country to the death!"

More than 300 people roared in unison, and the huge sounds gathered into thunder, which was deafening and heart-wrenching.

Li Shiran, who was standing behind Lin Rui, saw this exciting scene and felt that his blood was also boiling. Lin Rui's back became taller at this moment.

At this moment, this man is a world-class hero who stands tall and stands as the title of God of War.

...

Afterwards, Lin Rui took advantage of the high morale of the soldiers and announced that the Eighth Company would be re-expanded into five platoons and one squad, namely four infantry platoons, one machine gun platoon and one guard squad.

Each platoon no longer has six classes like before, but has been reduced to four classes, each class has fifteen people and sixty people in each platoon.

The machine gun platoon also has 60 people, and will be equipped with four 60 mm mortars, two 13.7mm large-caliber machine guns, and four Maxim water-cooled heavy machine guns.

The guard squad, together with the commander and the orderly soldiers, each had more than 20 people, and the entire company had about 320 people.

Because he had not received a combat mission for the time being, Lin Rui took advantage of this rare opportunity to carry out pre-war training for the Eighth Company.

The supplementary regiment trains normally like other troops on weekdays, so basic training subjects are not required.

What Lin Rui needs is to train to replenish tactical coordination and cooperation between the soldiers and the veterans of the former Eighth Company, so that they can go to the battlefield as much as possible and exert their due combat power.

Three days later, a bad news came. The vanguard of the 3rd and 9th Divisions of the Japanese army successfully climbed the beach in Shizilin and other places under the cover of the powerful firepower of its navy and air force.

It also attacked the attacking troops of the National Army, severely damaged the 88th Division, the 87th Division and other units.

In less than half a day, the Japanese Army landed the 6th Unit, together with their remnants of the 6th Navy, fought back the Kuomintang army, and the front line suddenly returned to its position a few days ago.

When Lin Rui received this news, he was training the Eighth Company. He was not too surprised because all this was within his expectations.

After the first batch of Japanese reinforcements arrived, the National Government was far more convenient than North China for fighting with the Japanese army in Shanghai.

In addition, Shanghai was the largest metropolis in the Far East at that time, and there were a large number of concessions of Western powers. Fighting here could easily cause intervention and mediation by Western countries.
