In July 1938, after the Japanese army invaded and occupied Jiujiang, the 101st, 106th, and 9th Divisions and the Guards Division attacked from Hukou and Jiujiang to the south of the Yangtze River in an attempt to occupy Nanchang, and then occupy Changsha in Hunan and the Guangdong-Hanzhou Railway, and encircle Wuhan from the south.

On 1 August, Xue Yue was ordered to command the defense along the Nanxun Railway and along the shores of Poyang Lake in order to crush the Japanese army's attempt to encircle Wuhan from the south. Lin Junxiong's 15th Division was also transferred to the command of Xue Yue's 1st Corps, and the troops were deployed near De'an to cooperate with the 74th Army as ordered.

On this day, Lin Junxiong was discussing the reinforcement of fortifications with several regiment commanders, and Zeng Lingshan, the commander of the guard company, came over and said that there was someone looking for him outside, and Lin Junxiong was puzzled and walked out with him.

After walking out, Zeng Lingshan whispered to Lin Junxiong: "The person who looked for you said that it was your fifth brother Shang Tianen." ”

"Little Five? How did he get here? ”

When Lin Junxiong trotted to the entrance of the brigade department, he saw Shang Tianen, who was in rags, being supported by the two, and there were blood stains in many places all over his body, his nose was sore, he rushed up to hug him, and asked sadly: "Little Wu, what happened, how did you become like this?" ”

Shang Tianen and the two people in civilian clothes seemed to have gone through a long journey, they were very tired, Shang Tianen smiled at Lin Junxiong with tears in his eyes, and fainted after calling his eldest brother, Lin Junxiong hurriedly arranged for someone to help them in.

After seeing Shang Tianen, the doctor said: "There should be no major problem, but the weakness caused by fatigue will wake up soon." ”

Shang Tianen slowly woke up an hour later, Lin Junxiong arranged for someone to bring him hot porridge and feed him to drink, Shang Tianen recovered some strength before telling him everything he had experienced.

In January 1938, Shang Tianen was appointed as the commander of the 564th Regiment of the 94th Division of the 97th Army. In May, he went with his troops to Jiujiang for defense.

The Japanese Botian detachment landed east of Jiujiang City on July 23, the commander of the 94th Division, Liu Mingchun, was ordered to block the attack, Shang Tianen led the 564th Regiment as the vanguard and the Japanese Botian Detachment engaged in a fierce battle, after a day and a night of fierce fighting, the 564th Regiment suffered heavy casualties, but also stopped the Japanese advance.

At noon the next day, when the Botian detachment launched another attack, Shang Tianen suddenly found that the deputy commander Xiao Zhiqiu and some of his men had quietly retreated, and Shang Tianen organized troops to resist another attack by the Japanese army, but there were less than 100 people left in the 564th regiment. He weighed it again and again, knowing that he couldn't hold it, and the large troops of the 94th Division were behind him, he asked the division headquarters to retreat, but he couldn't get in touch, and in desperation, he could only retreat with the remnants of the 564th Regiment of less than 100 people. After retreating less than 2 miles, they met Liu Mingchun, Shang Tianen reported the incident to Liu Mingchun, who knew that Liu Mingchun detained Shang Tianen on the charge of escaping from the battle, fortunately, there were several people in Shang Tianen's guard company that he brought from the original camp, one of them named Feng Jun overheard a cronie of Liu Mingchun saying that Liu Mingchun and Xiao Zhiqiu had taken refuge in the Japanese, and this time they partnered to give the 564 regiment as a gift to the Japanese.

Feng Jun contacted a few reliable people and quietly rescued Shang Tianen, they fled all the way to Nanchang, learned the news of Lin Junxiong in De'an, evaded Liu Mingchun's pursuit all the way, and finally arrived here and found Lin Junxiong.

Lin Junxiong was so angry that he gritted his teeth, and he slammed the table fiercely: "This Liu Mingchun and Xiao Zhiqiu, I will definitely not let him go, dare to treat my brother like this, I will immediately report the situation to Commander Xue, and I must not let these brutes continue to mix in the army." ”

Shang Tianen immediately stopped and said: "Big brother, even if Commander Xue believes you, then Liu Mingchun is adamant, I must have been reported by him to say that I have defected, and my words are not convincing, not only can you not help me by doing this, but also see that you drag you into the whirlpool, this matter has to be done slowly." ”

Lin Junxiong calmed down, feeling that Shang Tianen had a point, he slammed the table with his fist again, gritted his teeth and said, "Loyalty? Treachery? Those who are truly loyal are unjustly wronged, and those who are truly betrayed are swaggering in our army. ”

Lin Junxiong used his personal relationship with Xiao Zanyu to ask him about Shang Tianen's situation in the 94th Division, and Xiao Zanyu naturally did not suspect that Lin Junxiong and Shang Tianen were introduced into the Kuomintang army. Soon Xiao Zanyu called.

"Brother, don't ask about Shang Tianen anymore, the 94th Division reported that he betrayed the party-state and took refuge in the Japanese, and now it is estimated that he is enjoying it with the Japanese, I understand your situation with him, I advise my brother to try to say that he has a shallow relationship with him, don't get into trouble."

Lin Junxiong was angry in his heart, as Shang Tianen said, Liu Mingchun, a despicable villain and wicked person, sued first and pushed everything clean, Lin Junxiong said to Xiao Zanyu: "Brother, I went to Germany with Tianen, he is still the son of my parents, I absolutely believe in his character, he will never betray the party and the state and join the enemy, and if his crime is confirmed, how can I not get rid of the suspicion?" ”

"Hey, yes, you go to Germany together, and the national army that comes back together, if someone is interested in checking, you will definitely be called to review."

"Then Brother Xiao doesn't believe me?"

"Brother, if you say this, you will see the outside, how can I not believe you, besides, you and Tianen were introduced by me, it is estimated that I will be called by Shangfeng to review soon, you are fortunate to have Commander Xue to vouch for you, poor brother, I will be miserable, I can only believe that Tianen is innocent."

"Brother Xiao, I'll tell you the truth, Tian'en has come to me, he has already told me everything, the truth of the matter is this"

"Huh? How is this possible, brother, don't hurt me. ”

"Brother Xiao, little brother, I vouch for my personality, what Tianen said is absolutely true, this matter is not necessarily your disaster Brother Xiao, maybe it is still a chance for you?"

"Oh? Brother, what kind of opportunity, tell me about it? ”

"If what Tianen said is true, then it is not a small credit to be able to catch Liu Mingchun and some officers and prove that they have indeed defected to the Japanese and betrayed the party-state."

"Brother, you're my brother, okay? Don't spit it out, what do you say, I'll listen to you, as for the credit, what do you think? ”

"It's Brother Xiao, you do it, I don't want any credit, as long as you find it out, just give Tianen a clean slate." Brother Xiao should be able to find an excuse to send a special force to the 94th Division, right? ”

"It's not difficult, you mean I'll take the opportunity to find evidence?"

"Brother Xiao, don't worry, the excuses you are looking for must be vague, to make Liu Mingchun have doubts and suffering, and then the people you sent should say from time to time some of the methods you used to deal with those officers who defected to the Japanese, and slowly pretend to inadvertently say that Shang Tianen has fallen into your hands and is being interrogated, under a series of true and false, if this Liu Mingchun has a ghost in his heart, he will definitely take action, as long as the people you send can seize the opportunity, the truth will be revealed at that time."

"Haha, brother is really a good means, if you are in the Fuxing Society, my brother and I will have no food, I will arrange it immediately, and I will do what you say, brother, I have blocked the future, and this credit will be given after the deed"

"Brother Xiao, what do you think of me Lin Junxiong, the credit belongs to Brother Xiao, how to write the report I think Brother Xiao should be better than me, but when the time comes, Tianen's innocence will still need a lot of help from Brother Xiao."

"Okay, this little thing, you and my brother need to be so polite? Your brother is my brother, and you wait for my good news. ”

Things were really as Lin Junxiong said expected, in Xiao Zanyu with the 94th Division fought bravely, Shangfeng ordered a special platoon of spies to assist. Liu Mingchun began to panic in his heart, the 94th Division fought bravely? I just lost the battle in Jiujiang, how could it be.

Liu Mingchun carefully dealt with the people sent by Xiao Zanyu, for fear of revealing his feet. But the people sent by Xiao Zanyu always talked about the bloody methods of their secret service to deal with traitors, what kind of skin cramps, what blood is dead and life-saving, what heavenly maidens are scattered into eunuchs, and he is scared of cold sweat every time, and always has all kinds of nightmares at night, he began to contact the Japanese, saying that he may have been exposed, and asked to arrange for him to officially surrender, so after two or three times, the Japanese agreed in view of Liu Mingchun's status.

On this day, the people sent by Xiao Zanyu said that they had caught Shang Tianen, a traitor, through wine, but he explained some important things, and the summit immediately arranged to find out. Liu Mingchun didn't want to live so fearfully anymore, he said with a sneer: "What if what Shang Tianen said is true? ”

"Division Commander Liu has really betrayed the party-state and defected to the enemy?"

"Haha, the conditions given by the Japanese are too generous, and it is difficult for Liu to refuse, but you spy platoon don't want to leave."

"Anyway, I can't escape from the palm of your hand, Master Liu might as well let me be a ghost."

Liu Mingchun proudly told the Japanese about contacting him, promising benefits, and his gift of the 564th regiment to the Japanese as a meeting gift, and then said: "Now you can die blindly, but poor your party and Congress can't figure out what's going on for a long time, and you spy lackeys go to see Hades." ”

The spy sent by Xiao Zanyu wanted to bully him and be held down, he said with a smile: "You think I want to listen to your ugly stories here, don't you see the person who came with me, the spy has already left when you tell the story." ”

Liu Mingchun sent someone to check, and as he said, he killed him in anger.

The rest of the matter is simple, Xiao Zanyu reported the matter to Shangfeng, and before he started to investigate, Liu Mingchun and some people of the 94th Division hurriedly defected to the Japanese.

Xiao Zanyu was greatly rewarded, and he thanked Lin Junxiong a thousand times, but Lin Junxiong was relieved that Shang Tianen finally cleared the charge of betrayal.
