"The children of the He family are not so delicate! Second son, come and let my mother take a look. He Lin muttered to He Jianye,

He Jianye stood quietly in front of his mother, letting his mother's hands touch his feet from head to toe, "I have lost weight and become strong." It's like your father when he was younger! He Lin murmured while touching, touching and touching, He Lin suddenly took a step back and shouted loudly, "Kneel!" ”

He Jianye paused for a moment and knelt in front of his mother obediently.

"Son, my mother was originally against you joining the army; But since you have chosen to become a soldier, you must fulfill your duty at this moment when the mountains and rivers are broken, the lives are devastated, and the nation is in tears; Your father said before his death: The descendants of the He family, for business, should help the township; As an official, it is necessary to benefit one party; As a soldier, you must protect the safety of one party! You have to keep it in mind! Remember not to disgrace your ancestors and make your family and children unable to hold their heads up. He Lin said shockingly,

"Mother, the child is about to go on the expedition, and you can't be filial to your mother or take care of your family. Please forgive my mother! I have gone to fight and have been in trouble, and I don't know if I can go home safely; I would like to thank my mother for her decades of nurturing! After He Jianye finished speaking, he kowtowed to his mother on the land with "knock, knock, knock";

"Go, kid! Say goodbye to your wife and children! Go with your heart, don't worry about everything at home, with me and your eldest brother. Everything will be fine. He Lin helped He Jianye up and said,

He Jianye walked in front of the wives and concubines, stared at Wang Yue and said, "Xiaoyue, now that the war is in danger, don't run around, stay at home with peace of mind!" spend more time with your mother; You are not familiar with everything at home, everything can be discussed with Xiaoyi! When you really can't help it, you can go to your eldest brother and mother! I don't know when I'll be able to go home, take care! ”

Wang Yue cried with a "wow", hugged He Jianye tightly, and said, "You must come back safely!" Remember, we're waiting for you! "For a long time, apart......

"Xiaoyi, you haven't enjoyed it since you arrived at our house, and it's unpredictable to go here; Thank you and Huang Lao for taking care of you, and I will entrust you at home in the future. I love you! After speaking, He Jianye hugged Xiaoyi and took a deep breath, as if he wanted to remember this smell, as if this smell could lead him home. After separating, He Jianye said a few words to a few people, teased a few children who were still swaddling, walked up to the eldest brother, bowed and said, "Big brother, this is unpredictable, please leave it at home!" ”

"Go with confidence! Remember to be careful, there is a chance to send a telegram home to report safety! He Fuchu said, turned back to Zeng Da and Yang Xiaoshi and said, "Remember the task of the two of you, no matter what, bring the second young master back safely!" I will take care of everything at home! ”

"Yes, young master. We must take good care of the second young master! He Yang Xiaoshi saluted and promised,

"Go back to the barracks and get ready! When you go north and pass through Nanchang Railway Station, I'll see you off when the time comes! He Fuchu promised,

He Jianye, who followed the division commander into the camp, arranged for each battalion and company to pack equipment and prepare dry food for the road....... The time finally came on September 20, and the Military Commission ordered the Third Division to take a train north to the Songhu area on September 21!

On September 21st, in the morning, the camp that packed up things early in the morning seemed quiet, as the sun sprinkled the first rays of morning light, the sound of the military horn to get up resounded throughout the camp, the soldiers hurriedly got up, washed, sorted out the equipment, because of today's start, the morning training was canceled, and the soldiers sorted out their personal equipment and then collectively opened a meal. At 8 o'clock in the morning after the meal, on the playground, all the officers and men of the Third Division of the National Revolutionary Army stood neatly below under the leadership of the regiment commander, and on the temporary platform above stood Li Yutang, commander of the Third Division of the National Revolutionary Army, and two brigade commanders.

"Brothers, today, that is, today, the Third Division of our National Revolutionary Army will all go to Shanghai to participate in the war against Japan; Brethren, the sharpest blade is sharpened in the coarsest stone, and what is the whetstone of our soldiers? What can build the prestige of our Third Division, that is, the Japanese army, these pigs and dogs are inferior beasts, occupying my land, seizing my property, and killing my father; If you don't repay this hatred now, when will you watch the Japanese swagger into our homes, dig up the tombstones of the nation, take away the land of my children and grandchildren, and ** our wives and children? ”

"No, bring down Japanese imperialism!" All the officers and men of the 3rd Division, who were standing, shouted,

"Brethren, the hope of the nation behind us in this expedition is the expectation of our fathers and elders, who have exchanged the last grain of grain for us to kill the enemy with steel guns and bullets to shoot at the enemy; Then we can't let the Japanese cross our line of defense and hurt our kind fathers, if the Japanese want to cross our line of defense, unless we all die in battle! On the Battle Flag! Li Yutang shouted loudly,

A small group of soldiers held high the banner of the Third Division of the National Revolutionary Army of the Republic of China and walked to the rostrum, Li Yutang took up the battle flag and shouted loudly: "The flag is in the position, the flag is in the people, no one is allowed to cross this battle flag at the division headquarters, and those who violate it will be killed!" Let's go! ”

All the personnel of the Third Division boarded the train under the send-off of the people of Nanchang, and on the platform, He Jianye waved goodbye to his family with tears, and in early October, the troops arrived around Shanghai and were stationed in Jiangwan at this time. Immediately, the Third Division of the National Revolutionary Army was incorporated into the Ninth Group Army, and the commander was Zhu Shaoliang; Since then, the National Revolutionary Drama has officially joined the sequence of the Third War Zone and participated in the Battle of Songhu.

On the night of October 1, 1937, under the fierce attack of the Japanese army, the left wing army of the Songhu defensive front moved backward one after another, and entered the first-line positions of Chenjiaxing, the west bank of the Yangjing River, and Liuhe Town on the south bank of Fuzaobang before dawn on the 3rd. The 9th and 15th Divisions of the Japanese Army concentrated their main forces and attacked the area south of Fumohama on the 5th. The 32nd, 57th, 78th, and 16th Divisions of the Chinese defenders and the Tax Police Corps resisted together. By the 8th, the Japanese army broke through to the vicinity of Zhaojiajiao and Yujiazhai. On October 9, the Japanese army, with the support of sea and air artillery, continued to storm the defenders' positions on the south bank of Fumohama, and fought until the evening of the 14th, the Chinese defenders suffered heavy losses, and the Tax Police Corps, the 16th Division, and the 8th Division lost their combat effectiveness, and were transferred to the rear for reorganization, and were replaced by the 19th, 1st, 134th, and 133rd Divisions. The 3rd Theater immediately ordered the 21st Group Army to reinforce it, and on the 15th, adjusted the defensive deployment of the Songhu Campaign, and the right flank army was under the jurisdiction of the 8th and 10th Group Armies to consolidate the garrison along the river and the coast, and break the Japanese landing attempt. The 9th and 21st Group Armies under the jurisdiction of the Central Army first consolidated the positions on the south bank of Fumohama, and then annihilated the Japanese army there. The Left Wing Army was under the jurisdiction of the 19th and 15th Group Armies, and the first part was responsible for the defense of the riverbank, and the main force consolidated the original positions and cooperated with the Central Army to fight.
