Meng Shaoyuan had two darkest moments in his life.

Once in Houjia Village.

Another time, on Hualandeng Road in the Shanghai Public Concession.

But this time it's different.

This time:

He is willing!

He is willing to risk his life against the Japanese army!

He is willing to be this desperate defender!

People can die, but they have to die standing up!

All of them, bayonets on!

For the Chinese Expeditionary Force, the battle of the rearguard battalion was just a small part of countless bloody battles.

But for the rearguard battalion, it is an unforgettable memory throughout their lives.

Those who are lucky enough to survive, even many years later, still clearly remember those words:

Officers in front, soldiers in the back!

Meng Shaoyuan, Ding Wenrui, company commanders, and platoon commanders all raised their bayonets and rushed out without hesitation.

The same kind of soldiers are the same as the commanders!

When the soldiers saw their commander fighting for his life, they all became anxious and their eyes turned red.

They roared and ran, completely ignoring the enemy's hail of bullets.

They must run in front of the commander, block bullets for the commander, and fight a bloody path for their colleagues!

Yu Song, the commander of the second platoon, threw a grenade.

There was an explosion with a "boom".

"Tu tu tu tu"!

When he took out the second grenade, a hail of bullets hit him.

Yu Song seemed to feel no pain at all. He pulled off the fuse of the grenade and roared:

"I'll fuck your uncle!"

He jumped up and flew out like an eagle!

He solidified his blood and flesh on this land forever!

All people are risking their lives!

Everyone is paving a road to life with their blood!

No fate favors you.

All the paths of life are fought for with one's life!

"Lao Li, protect your officer, and take matters into your own hands if something happens!"

Cao Ruicheng stabbed a Japanese soldier to death with red eyes: "Brothers, charge with me!"

…

Meng Shaoyuan is undoubtedly the lucky man.

He was covered in blood, but that was all the blood of the Japanese army!

He couldn't believe it, he didn't even hurt a single hair on his head!

Rushed out!

Brothers, you really sacrificed your life to open a bloody path!

The rear guard battalion is out!

But what price did this cost?

From the beginning of the blockade to the desperate charge, half of the brothers in the battalion were laid to rest in Myanmar.

They even have no way to take back the remains of the martyrs!

Meng Shaoyuan's guards also came out.

There are five people left!

I brought out twelve people!

Li Zhifeng kept watching. When he saw the injured Shi Yongfu, he pulled him to his side: "Where is Cao Ruicheng? Is he someone else?"

"No more, no more."

Shi Yongfu shook his head in despair.

"Fart!" Li Zhifeng suddenly became irritable: "Go back and find him, go back and rescue him!"

"It's gone, captain, it's really gone!" Shi Yongfu, such a tough man, cried loudly: "Old Cao covered us, he was knocked down by a bullet, he asked us to leave, leave him alone, I refused, wanted to

If I take him with me, he will be a slap in the face to me..."

"Protect your commander, and tell Li Zhifeng that I don't have to wear small shoes with him anymore!"

Cao Ruicheng struggled to stand up, holding himself up not to fall down: "Sir, please take care, we didn't catch up in Houjiacun, but in Myanmar, we did."

The bayonet had been broken, so he picked up a bayonet from the ground: "Sir, I am your confidant. I got the Dabu Decoction for you. It's a pity that I can't help you get it anymore."

Good stuff."

Several Japanese soldiers surrounded him.

"All of you, bayonets on!"

Cao Ruicheng mounted the bayonet again.

He was alone.

But he clearly felt that his brothers were with him!

"What a bastard!"

Cao Ruicheng roared:

"kill!"

He is one of countless expeditionary heroes.

This is one of countless bloody expeditions.

Cao Ruicheng, 28 years old, is a second lieutenant officer of the Iron Blood Guards and a native of Fushun.

Killed in action on May 14, 1942, Burma.

About half of the dead soldiers of the Chinese Expeditionary Force were under the age of 25.

No one can imagine that when he is usually called "Lao Cao, Lao Cao", he is actually only twenty-eight years old.

At 14:00 on November 5, 2015, the remains of 347 expeditionary force soldiers entered the country from the Houqiao Port in Tengchong, Yunnan.

Is there Cao Ruicheng in this?

Most likely not.

He doesn't care.

From the first moment he stepped out of the country, he never thought about where his bones would be buried.

There is no place in the mountains where bones are not buried!

However, the people of the motherland have never forgotten these heroic spirits from foreign countries!

One day, one day, Cao Ruicheng and his brothers will come back!

…

"Sir, this is a Burmese secret recipe. It's a good thing."

"Sir, you are mentally retarded. That is the biggest secret of our military command. You must not tell anyone!"

That sentence clearly appeared in Meng Shaoyuan's mind over and over again.

He wanted to cry.

But he couldn't cry.

At least you can't cry in front of your subordinates!

A pair of hands held his hand.

That’s He Yu!

He Yu also rushed out.
