On August 13, 1937, Chiang Kai-shek, in order to change the direction of the Japanese invasion from north to south to east to west, so as to facilitate long-term combat, took the initiative to counterattack in Shanghai, and the Battle of Songhu began in an all-round way.

Battle of Songhu Chiang Kai-shek appointed Feng Yuxiang as commander, Gu Zhutong as deputy commander, Zhang Fakui as commander-in-chief of the Right Wing Army, under the jurisdiction of the Eighth Army (commander Zhang Fakui concurrently) and the Tenth Army (commander Liu Jianxu); Zhu Shaoliang is the commander-in-chief of the Central Route Army, under the jurisdiction of the Ninth Group Army (Commander Zhang Zhizhong) and the 21st Group Army (Commander Liao Lei); Chen Cheng was the commander-in-chief of the Left Wing Army, under the jurisdiction of the 19th Group Army (Commander Xue Yue) and the 15th Group Army (Commander Luo Zhuoying). In total, about 400,000 people were put into the battlefield.

At the beginning of the Battle of Songhu, because the Chinese invested far more troops than the Japanese army, the Japanese army could only rely on reinforced concrete and other fortifications to resist stubbornly, but then the Japanese formed the Shanghai Dispatch Army and continued to recruit troops, and the two sides reached a stalemate.

From August 23, the 3rd and 11th divisions of the Japanese army, under the cover of intensive naval artillery fire, landed at Wusongkou Railway Wharf, Lion Forest, and Chuanshakou, and attacked the Chinese positions in Baoshan, Yuepu, Luodian, and Fuzaobang. Zhang Zhizhong sent Wang Jingjiu as the commander of the former enemy in Songhu to command the troops under the jurisdiction of the 9th Group Army to resist the landing of the Japanese army. At the same time, the newly formed 15th Army, under the command of Luo Zhuoying, launched a counterattack against the enemy who landed at Baoshan and Chuanshakou, and the 98th Division repelled the Japanese army that captured Lion Forest on August 24, annihilating thousands of enemies.

Lin Junxiong's 89th Regiment was sent to Jiading to assist in blocking the Japanese army attacking northwest of Shanghai, giving the troops time to deploy in Luodian. After receiving the order, Lin Junxiong immediately rushed to Jiading with his troops.

Li Shengjie was relying on some simple fortifications to block the Japanese attack in the south of Jiading City, and the Japanese attack was repeatedly blocked, and the gunfire became sparse.

Li Shengjie said excitedly to his subordinates: "Brothers, this dog's little Japan, chasing us from Shanghai for dozens of miles, is finally weak, everyone work harder to resist their offensive, and when the national army comes, it will be their end." ”

One of his subordinates saw that the gunfire of the Japanese army gradually stopped, he approached Li Shengjie and said: "Sixth master, something is wrong, the Japanese army was attacking very fiercely just now, why did it stop all of a sudden?" ”

Li Shengjie thought for a while, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he shouted to his subordinates: "Quick, find cover!" ”

As soon as his voice spread, the sound of shells from the Japanese troops on the opposite side came roaring, and for a while, his men were hiding in all directions, panicking, many people were blown to pieces by the shells, and the team of nearly 100 people lost nearly half of them after three rounds of shelling by the Japanese army.

After the artillery stopped, the Japanese machine guns continued to fire, and the infantry also fired forward. Li Shengjie shouted: "Those who can still kick their breath, get up, the Japanese attack is coming again." ”

Those who were not injured quickly ran to the front of the fortifications to counterattack, and some of the wounded also tried to drag their injured bodies to the front of the fortifications. The Japanese attack seems to be endless, if it weren't for Li Shengjie's better position, they would have been defeated a long time ago, and people were constantly hit, and occasionally there were bursts of painful ** sounds.

One of his subordinates moved to Li Shengjie's side and said: "Sixth Master, no, I can't stop it, there are less than thirty people who can fight now, and there are not many bullets, if you don't withdraw the brothers, you will all have to leave it here." ”

Li Shengjie turned to look at his subordinates, some of them had lost their combat effectiveness, some were tearing their clothes to bandage their wounds, and most of the people who were fighting were also wounded, and there were blood stains oozing from the bandages. He looked up to the sky and sighed: "God, fathers, brothers and sisters behind us, we have done our best. ”

He touched a handful of tears and said to his subordinates: "Shen San, organize people to withdraw the seriously injured brothers first, and I will take ten brothers to cover for you first, and then also withdraw." ”

Shen San organized more than a dozen people to evacuate the wounded, Li Shengjie asked his subordinates to throw out the remaining grenades, dozens of grenades flew out intermittently, and after a violent explosion, the Japanese army finally withdrew.

Li Shengjie breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the tired ten brothers, he said loudly: "Brothers, you are all my good brothers of Zhongyi Liu, these brothers who have been sleeping here for a long time are also, maybe no one will remember our name, but as an upright Chinese, we have no shame in our hearts, although we can't resist the fierce little Japan, but we also win time for the regular troops behind, in another five minutes, Shen San and they should withdraw away, then we will also withdraw, find a place to rest and then go back to the gang, continue to fight with the little Japan of the dog day." ”

When Li Shengjie was about to call his brothers to retreat, Shen Sanbo and others came back with the wounded. Li Shengjie roared angrily: "Shen San, what are you doing, why did you come back again?" ”

"Sixth master, now we are finished, the back road has been cut off by the Japanese army, and a large number of Japanese troops are searching for it."

"Quick, check how much ammunition we still have, and get ready to break out."

"Report to the sixth master, there are still thirty bullets and one more grenade."

When Li Shengjie heard this, he was immediately deflated, sat on the ground, and said with a wry smile: "Thirty bullets, one grenade, this is the sky that is going to kill us, Guan Erye, you are going to abandon us." ”

Emotions are contagious, Shen San and other subordinates saw that Li Shengjie was deflated, and they all became desperate, they lowered their heads one after another, and some of them also sat on the ground and muttered: "It's over, are you going to die?" ”

The sound of gunfire getting closer and closer woke everyone up, Li Shengjie stood up and said tragically: "Brothers, we have no way to live, instead of giving up being easily killed by them, it is better to fight with them, and death is also vigorous, if you kill one more, we will earn one." Brothers, the brothers who left first will wait on Huangquan Road, and we will be brothers in the next life. ”

Although these people led by Li Shengjie were born in gangs, they were all heroes, and for a while everyone gritted their teeth and prepared to fight desperately with the Japanese soldiers who rushed over.

In the darkest hour of the sky, dawn may come at any time; Just when you think doom is coming, maybe a miracle will come out of nowhere. When Li Shengjie and his brothers decided to fight to the death, dense gunfire rang out, and then they saw the Japanese army behind them in chaos, and then fell in pieces, and he was pleased to see a group of heroic national troops rushing over, led by the familiar Lin Junxiong.

Lin Junxiong arrived in time with the 89th Regiment when Li Shengjie was desperate, and he immediately organized his troops to beat the Japanese troops who rushed up in front, and the Japanese troops suffered a fierce blow and immediately retreated in a panic.

After the Japanese army retreated, Lin Junxiong walked up to Li Shengjie, took his hand and said excitedly: "Sixth brother, you and the brothers have worked hard. ”

"Brother, if you hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid the sixth brother would have gone underground and waited for you to give me the money to burn paper every year, thank you, brother!"

"Sixth brother, you're welcome, you and these brothers are all good", Lin Junxiong said and looked at the faces that were glowing with joy of escaping death, the majestic bodies that were seriously injured but stubbornly standing, and he said loudly behind him: "Medic, hurry up and treat these brothers." ”

"Brother, don't thank you for your kindness, if you have a place to get the sixth child in the future, just ask."

"Sixth brother, why did you and these brothers come to Jiading?"

"Brother, at the beginning of Shanghai, the national army attacked very fiercely, but although the Japanese army was small, it was very elite, and the defense of small Japan could not be broken or blown up, so they held each other for a while. A few days ago, the Japanese reinforcements arrived, and the Nationalist army was defeated and retreated, and Shanghai was almost occupied by the Japanese army. Saddened to see the loss of his country, Mr. Du gathered the brothers of the Green Gang and gave the order to resist the Japanese army. I was arranged in the northwest area of Shanghai, and at the beginning I took more than 100 brothers to harass and attack the Japanese army, and later they found out and chased all the way to Jiading, knowing that the national army was behind, so I wanted to block and wait for you here in the south of the city. Hey, after seven or eight days of fighting with the Japanese army, now there are only these thirty or so brothers left. ”

"Sixth brother, you and this group of brothers are amazing Chinese, Junxiong admires."

"Where the brothers say, the country is in trouble, everyone has the responsibility to stand up, these are what we should do as a Chinese." Brother, that's all we can do, and the rest depends on you regular troops. ”

"Sixth brother, it is the duty of a soldier to protect his family and defend the country, and we will do our best. I just heard you say that you were all arranged by Du Yuesheng to resist Japan? Lin Junxiong searched for memories, it seems that in the thirties of the nineteenth century, Shanghai was the world of Du Yuesheng, Huang Jinrong, Zhang Xiaolin, for Du Yuesheng, his deepest memory is that he is very good at being a man, it is said that Chiang Kai-shek has to take a protégé to visit in Shanghai, and Dai Li has a lot of cooperation, such a hooligan gangster tycoon in the eyes of later generations, when the country is in danger, will actually do such a righteous act?

"Why doesn't my brother believe it? Although some things have been overdone, in Shanghai, a place where people eat, ruthlessness can survive. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Mr. Du organized the Hang Seng Society to assist the national army in combat, and there were seven or eight waves of teams like ours. ”

Lin Junxiong didn't want to continue to entangle Du Yuesheng's quality with Li Shengjie, so he asked him: "Then next, what are the plans of the sixth brother and these brothers?" ”

"We have to find a place to settle down and recuperate for the time being, and when the seriously injured brothers are better, we will immediately return to the gang and wait for Mr. Du's next arrangement."

"Don't worry, I'll leave it to us here, do you need me to send someone to send you?"

"It's okay, we can take care of it, brother, take care!"

Lin Junxiong asked Pan Zhiyang to replenish some guns and ammunition for Li Shengjie before sending them away. He arranged for his troops to reinforce the nearby fortifications, and at the same time sent a small force from the flank to probe the Japanese army.

The Japanese army seemed to have been beaten by Lin Junxiong and the others just now, and they actually stationed not far away, with no intention of continuing the attack, which made Lin Junxiong a little confused.

Lin Junxiong thought about it calmly, and suddenly thought of the Japanese army's encirclement of Li Shengjie and them, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, he found a high place to observe the situation of the Japanese army for a while.
