After Lin Rui and Lin Feng chased out the gates of St. John's University, the marching students had already poured into the streets, holding banners and slogans along the streets towards the Shanghai Municipal Government at the time.

The reason why Lin Rui wanted to participate in this kind of parade was because he understood that in North China at this time, due to the stubborn resistance of the 29th Army, the cunning Japanese adopted delaying tactics of fighting and making peace, so as to buy time and opportunity for them to mobilize troops, so China and Japan had not completely torn their faces on the surface.

Therefore, in order to avoid diplomatic trouble, the Shanghai Municipal Government will definitely send military police and police to surround and intercept this kind of petition and anti-Japanese procession.

Lin Rui was worried that in the confrontation between the students and the military police, some traitors who had been bribed by the Japanese, or Japanese spies lurking in Shanghai, would take the opportunity to disadvantage these students who marched.

For example, assassination attacks that put these students in conflict with the gendarmerie police and create chaos.

After all, the Japanese imperialists had already decided to formally invade China and had sent troops from within their country to reinforce their garrison in North China.

Secondly, when he encountered the parade at school, he found that Shangguan Nianci and Li Muxue were also there, although he didn't have a good impression of Li Muxue.

But Shangguan Nianci saved his life after all, and with Lin Rui's character, it is naturally impossible to watch from the sidelines knowing that she may encounter danger.

What's more, these young students are also a group of enthusiastic patriotic young people full of ambition to save the country and the people, knowing that they cannot persuade them.

Lin Rui, who is more patriotic, can't turn a blind eye, he has a gun in hand, and he has kung fu and rich combat experience, although he may not be able to save everyone, but he can save one by one.

Besides, if he really encounters Japanese puppet traitor spies, then Lin Rui just uses them to practice his hands, and he can kill one of them.

Therefore, Lin Rui's participation in the parade was by no means hot-headed and impulsive.

He himself was a patriotic soldier with firm beliefs, and he had traveled to this era of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and was well aware of the wolf ambitions of the Japanese, so naturally he would not continue to make false promises with the Japanese like some people in power in the Nationalist Government authorities.

Moreover, any Chinese in the 21st century should never forget how much trauma the war of aggression against China has caused to the Chinese nation.

The 300,000 compatriots who died unjustly in the Nanjing Massacre will make every patriotic soldier hate the Japanese to the core, and Lin Rui is one of them.

Therefore, Lin Rui will not let go of any opportunity to kill the Japanese, nor will he let go of any Japanese soldier he meets.

The procession marched along Changning Road to Wujiaochang, the seat of the municipal government at that time.

Because the urban area of Shanghai at that time was all occupied by the Western powers, the Shanghai Municipal Government had no say at that time, so the mayor of Shanghai at that time, Zhang Qun, presided over the construction of the municipal government building in the northwest corner of Wujiaochang.

Changning Road is not close to Wujiaochang, and with so many people marching in a mighty way, many people stopped and watched on the road, and the traffic was blocked, so it took more than half an hour to walk, and it was only half of the walk.

At the same time, the mayor's office of the Shanghai Municipal Government Building.

Yu Hongjun, the mayor of Shanghai at the time, was working when a secretary knocked on the door from outside, walked to his desk, bowed his head slightly, and spoke urgently. He said: "Mayor Yu, no, thousands of students from St. John's, Fudan, Tongji and other three universities, as well as many workers and citizens, formed several marches.

They are rushing to the city government, saying that they want to petition the city government and ask the government to send troops to resist Japan! ”

Yu Hongjun was taken aback when he heard this, Huo Ran got up and said, "What? What are these students messing around? The Japanese have already provoked a war in North China, Lugou Bridge and even the entire Beiping have already ignited the flames of war, the war is very close to us, they don't feel at ease to study, why do they come here to make trouble? ”

Yu Hongjun was really afraid of this group of students, because at that time, since the September 18 Incident and the loss of the four northeastern provinces, these progressive student intellectuals came to march and petition every once in a while, and they couldn't do anything to them in order to take into account the overall situation.

His predecessor, Mr. Zhang Qun, had been forced to resign due to pressure because he had dealt with a group of students, causing some student casualties.

Therefore, as soon as I heard that the students had come out to march again, Yu Hongjun, a financial elite who was also from St. John's, was very worried.

Seeing this, the secretary immediately asked: "Mayor, why don't we send the gendarmes to suppress it?" ”

Yu Hongjun immediately glared angrily when he heard this, and reprimanded him seriously: "Nonsense, not to mention that these students are the future of the country, among them, St. John's University is still my alma mater, how can I send troops to suppress them?" ”

"So what to do?" The secretary hurriedly bowed his head in panic.

Yu Hongjun muttered: "In this way, transfer a group of military police to maintain order, and I will go to the square in front of the city government building to personally pacify them."

In the final analysis, they are also a group of patriotic young people who care about their home and country, and now that the ambitions of the Japanese wolf have been revealed, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression will definitely break out in an all-round way in a short time.

In addition, you should immediately report the matter to the Nanking side, and remember that the gendarmerie police must not be allowed to do anything to the students. ”

"Yes." The secretary bowed his head, turned and led away.

When Lin Rui followed St. John's procession and was about to arrive at the Pentagon Field, where the city government was located, several groups of people like them suddenly came out of the nearby streets, including students, workers, and some citizens.

Several marches have converged, and the number of people has exceeded 10,000, and it is still increasing.

The students shouted slogans such as the war of resistance to the end, held high banners, and marched forward.

Lin Rui understood that this situation was beyond his personal ability, so in order to protect St. John's classmates as much as possible, he took Lin Feng to follow St. John's procession closely.

And as soon as they have the opportunity, they will move forward, because Shangguan Nianci and a few of their representatives are at the front of the line, and if there are Japanese spies or traitors who want to make trouble, they will also do it in front.

Because there will be a direct confrontation with the gendarmerie police who have come to maintain order, clashes are most likely to break out.

After a while, a large number of gendarmerie policemen came from the roads on both sides of the city hall and soon formed several rows to block the procession.

A middle-aged man who looked like a gendarmerie captain stood up and shouted to the students and the marching crowd in a deep voice: "Fellow students, compatriots, Wang Huming, the captain of the gendarmerie brigade of the contemptible city government, has come to maintain order on the orders of Mayor Yu Hongjun.

Please don't be impulsive, Mayor Yu Hongjun will come out to see you in a while, and you can tell the mayor if you have any demands. ”
