The Vickers armored car is still burning. The air was filled with the smell of barbecue, a field cannon was lying alone in the alley, surrounded by corpses, the soldiers of the 19th Route Army inspected the battlefield with bayonets, and one pulled a grenade and stuffed it into the chamber, destroying the cannon.

"Wait!" Chen Zikun stopped it too late, a cannon was blown open and scrapped, the soldiers of the 19th Route Army saw that he was tall and magnificent, although he was wearing a second-class military uniform, but the spectrum was bigger than the regiment commander, and he couldn't figure out his details, the battalion commander was about to step forward to talk, and suddenly there was a bullet coming from the side and back, and the white clothes flashed in the corner of the wall, and it was Japanese again!

Zhabei street fighting, the terrain is intricate, both China and Japan have adopted the tactics of interspersed with small detachments, the battle line is staggered, the enemy is not distinguished, the battle soon began, the two sides rely on the bunker to shoot each other, the fight is inseparable, suddenly behind the enemy gunfire again, not much effort, the Japanese army left more than a dozen corpses and hugged the head of the rat.

The battalion commander shouted: "Brother over there, which part?" ”

The other side replied: "Volunteers in plainclothes." ”

Speaking of a few people, dressed in plain clothes, with a shell gun in their waists, and Thompson in their hands, it turned out to be a member of the Three Guns Club.

When these people saw Chen Zikun, they turned out to be the president of one mouthful, and Chen Zikun wondered: "When did I become the president of the Three Guns Society?" ”

"But you're the president of our Jingwu Society." Two more people walked out of the back, a man and a woman, the man was fierce and resolute, and the woman was heroic, it was the head of the Jingwu Society, Ouyang Kai and Situ Xiaoyan.

The Jingwu Society and the Three Guns Society overlapped, and many of the Three Gun Congregations practiced martial arts in the Jingwu Society, and the Jingwu Society had always been the base camp of anti-Japanese elements, and as soon as the war began, they naturally rushed to the forefront.

In between battles, without saying much nonsense, Chen Zikun briefly shook hands with them, immediately discussed the counterattack strategy, and decided to take a detour before the enemy launched an attack.

Situ Xiaoyan kicked the dead bodies of Japanese soldiers on the ground, and said, "It's really strange, the Japanese wear white and blue, and there are also ordinary people's clothes." ”

Chen Zikun's heart moved when he heard this, and asked people to search the objects on the dead man's body, and found a "hand account", and after turning two pages, he knew that these people wearing white clothes were sailors of the fleet stationed in Shanghai, and those who wore blue military uniforms should be special marines, and the guys who wore ordinary people's clothes had white cloth strips wrapped around their arms, and the words "self-police regiment" were written on them, which should be the armed forces of Japanese expatriates.

The sailors on the warship carried out street fighting, and the combat effectiveness can be imagined, which shows that the Japanese army is overstretched, Chen Zikun knew it in his heart, and ordered Qingfeng: "Immediately mobilize all the brothers of the Three Guns Society, send guns to participate in the battle, kill one Japanese soldier, reward 50 oceans, kill one soldier Cao, reward 100, kill an officer, reward 200." ”

He looked at the weak brothers of the 19th Route Army again, and said, "Let the tax police regiment transfer an Ericon anti-aircraft gun to help them deal with the armored vehicles." ”

The battalion commander came over and saluted the private's face full of admiration: "You are General Chen, right?" ”

Chen Zikun returned the salute and said: "I am Chen Zikun, today I am not a general, but an ordinary soldier." ”

……

After a short break in the fighting, Qingfeng and others persuaded Chen Zikun to return to the concession, and even threatened to commit suicide.

Yan Jinan is still in the rescue, half of his body is deeply burned, there is no special medicine available, he can only try to prevent the infection from worsening, his right hand is useless, and he has been amputated.

Chen Zikun told the doctor to save Yan Jinan's life, if you need to use morphine for painkillers, the burns are too painful, and no one can bear it.

As soon as he walked on his front feet, a small car drove to the hospital at a gallop, and a man with oily hair and pink face jumped out of the car and went straight upstairs, and was stopped by the nurse in front of the door of the ward: "This is an isolation ward, you can't go in...... You are Yan Qingyu, sign for me. ”

Yan Qingyu took out the fountain pen very impatiently, signed a name on the nurse's chest, and the nurse was beaming, helped him find a smock and shoe covers, and entered the ward fully armed.

The younger brother is still in a coma, the skin of the burned half of his body is peeling off, oozing with body fluids, the severed limbs are wrapped in gauze, shocking, a face is extremely white, Yan Qingyu's tears poured out, the younger brother is desperate with the Japanese on the front line, he is full of martial arts, but he stays in the concession and the little star Qingqing and me, he slapped himself hard.

Coming out of the ward, a group of nurses were waiting at the door with notebooks in their hands, and when they saw Yan Daxing's unhappy face, they were immediately silent.

Yan Qingyu suddenly bowed to the nurses, tears dripping from her eyes: "Rank, please take care of my brother, my uncle is such a son." ”

The iron man on the screen shed heroic tears, and the nurses were moved, saying that this wounded man was a hero who fought Japan, and we must take good care of it.

Yan Qingyu thanked him again, went downstairs to the car, drove away, and went straight to her brother-in-law's mansion on Xiafei Road in the French Concession.

Not long after Chen Zikun came back, he was writing a report in the study, when suddenly the door was pushed open, and Yan Qingyu strode in: "Brother-in-law, I want to be a soldier, I want to fight Japan!" ”

"Are you sure?" Chen Zikun looked at him quietly for a long time before asking.

"That's right, I want to be a soldier and go to the front line to avenge my brother!" Yan Qingyu's eyes were red, and her chest was undulating.

Chan turned his pen in his hand, as if he was considering.

"It's useless what you say, I just want to be a soldier, I won't be your cash cow anymore!" Yan Qingyu began to roar.

Chan still didn't speak.

"It doesn't matter if you don't agree, you can't make trough cakes without stinky chickens, I'll go to the 19th Route Army to join the army." Yan Qingyu snorted angrily, turned his head and left.

"Come back!" Chen Zikun said in a low voice, although his tone was not harsh, Yan Qingyu still stood obediently.

"I promise, you can join the army, but everything is up to me." Chan said.

……

Three days later, two major news were published in the declaration: first, Koichi Shiozawa, commander of the Japanese fleet in Shanghai, was dismissed; The second is that Yan Qingyu, the head of Purple Star Pictures, avenged his younger brother and signed up to join the army.

For the people of Shanghai, these two are good news, the little Japanese donkey skills are poor, and the change of generals on the spot shows that the fight is not very smooth, Yan Qingyu joined the army, and it has inspired the people's strong patriotic feelings and determination to resist Japan.

Originally, Chen Zikun wanted Yan Qingyu to join the Independent Brigade of the 87th Division of the Fifth Army, that is, the tax police corps in disguise, but Yan Qingyu refused, saying that if he wanted to be a soldier of the 19th Route Army, only the 19th Route Army in the world was the pure masters who dared to fight with the Japanese with real swords and guns.

Considering the publicity effect, Chen Zikun agreed to his request, and consulted with Cai Tingkai, the commander of the 19th Route Army, and received a warm response and close cooperation, and the joining ceremony was held in a relatively safe location near the concession in Zhabei, where reporters from all over Shanghai went, and the film company's cameras were also on the scene to faithfully record this exciting moment.

The ceremony was presided over by Cai Tingkai, after a brief explanation, Yan Qingyu in a military uniform came to the stage with a military hat in his hand, his shiny back head was shaved into cucumber eggs, the tweed military uniform was decorated with a second lieutenant collar badge, the calf was tied with tweed leggings, the leather shoes were shiny, the armed belt was very tight, and the thin waist looked similar to Zhao Zilong on the stage.

There was warm applause from the audience, all of them were celebrities and national entrepreneurs, and naturally they would not scream and cry like fans, but the deeds of the Yan brothers still deeply moved them.

In order to publicize the anti-Japanese resistance, Yan Jinan's deeds were rendered accordingly, and the results were expanded into two armored vehicles, a field gun, and ten Japanese soldiers, all of whom he eliminated alone.

Chen Zikun appeared on behalf of the Military Commission of the National Government and presented a medal to Yan Jinan, which was received by his brother Yan Qingyu, the national anthem sounded, the blue sky and white sun flag were rising, and there was a solemnity inside and outside the venue.

This film was copied into countless copies and screened everywhere, inspiring the people's determination to resist Japan, countless young men were enthusiastic about it, and countless girls were crazy about it, setting off a craze for marrying anti-Japanese soldiers for a while.

The Japanese Navy fought against the 19th Route Army, although it was the same Japanese army, but the combat effectiveness of the Navy was far inferior to that of the Army, not to mention the elite Kwantung Army among the elites, so the current victory was only temporary, and the greater crisis was still to come, but only a few people could see this clearly.

Chen Zikun is one of the few people, he knows that the situation is expanding, Japan is not willing to lose, and will definitely send the army to help the war, Japan has developed sea, and the deployment of troops will only be in the day, while China's transfer of troops is all on two legs, and eating can't catch up with the heat.

In terms of weaponry and equipment, Japan's industry is far superior to China's, and large-caliber artillery shells can be self-sufficient, while China even has to import steel for the production of artillery shells; except for light weapons, which can be produced by itself, heavy firearms and automobiles are all imported, and China is an extremely poor country, and it can only rely on the export of precious metals and agricultural products in exchange for foreign exchange.

Chen Zikun wrote a report and sent it to the Nanjing Military Commission, giving a detailed account of the Songhu battle situation, focusing on the street battles in Zhabei. Our army has made use of the militia volunteers to form plainclothes detachments to attack the enemy's rear roads in many ways, and the fighting style is flexible and changeable, and it is a surprise experience, and the lesson is that the weapons and equipment are backward, and there is a lack of large-caliber anti-aircraft guns for fighting armored vehicles, and we hope to import a batch from Germany as soon as possible.

It was mentioned in the report that the Shanghai non-governmental anti-Japanese self-defense group Sangun Society was assisting the regular army in the fight, and the chairman of the Sangun Society was detained in Nanjing Central Prison, hoping that the Military Commission would find out the truth and release Su Qingyan as soon as possible.

After receiving the report, Chairman Jiang immediately called Chen Lifu, Chen Lifu is in charge of the Organization Department, and he naturally won't know about such a small case, and after being batched, he called Xu Enzeng to ask, and Section Chief Xu said that there was such a person, who was suspected of colluding with the Communist Party and had not yet obtained the evidence, and said cautiously: "Didn't you confess this case?" ”

Chen Lifu then remembered that this case was related to Chen Zikun, and it would be too bad to make a small move at this moment, so he said: "Release people!" ”
