Uncle Zhu was at a loss. At this time, the Japanese devils spotted them and made gestures and shouted at them. Uncle Zhu couldn't understand what the devil was shouting, and thought that the war between the two countries had nothing to do with the people, probably telling them to leave quickly, so he turned around and ran to the west of the bridge in a daze, but he didn't expect the devil's machine gun to sound "suddenly, suddenly, suddenly". This was an advance team from Hongkou, intending to seize the Cross Bridge before the Chinese army could react. The bullets swept over like a storm, and Uncle Zhu was shot by a machine gun, and he fell to the ground on his feet. The second lame leg was ineffective, and he had thrown himself to the ground in advance, because he was led by the grass and dragged the grass down, and the two survived. The devil walked towards them with a spear, the cross bridge was a stone bridge, there were no guardrails on both sides, and when the grass saw that the situation was not good, she hurriedly grabbed her husband's arm, rolled on the spot, and fell into the river from the bridge deck more than three feet high. Fortunately, the water flow is not urgent, and there are aquatic weeds hooked, after the two fell into the water, they were not washed away by the river, and immediately got into the thatch, it happened to be ten years ago to beg for food to Guangfu hungry place, now the thatch has grown more than one person tall, two people into it, there is no trace at all. The devil's ironclad car roared onto the cross bridge, crushing Uncle Zhu's body into pieces, and the devil who followed behind the ironclad car raised his scalp boots and kicked into the river. The scattered corpse pieces just fell in front of the second lame, the second lame was furious, his eyes burst out of hatred, and he risked his life to fish up his father's corpse, but he was held down by the grass, and said: "If you go out like this, you will definitely die, my father often says, it is better to die than to live, stay in the green mountains and not be afraid of no firewood, life is the most important, and there is no revenge if you die." "The second lame had to give up. Seeing that the two of them fell into the river and disappeared, the devil fired a burst of guns into the river, threw down a few grenades, and blew up the body of Uncle Zhu floating on the surface of the river before stopping. At this time, military vehicles rumbled to the west of the bridge, and the vanguard of the national army had also come to the cross bridge and found that the cross bridge had been occupied by the Japanese army. Five days ago, the Nationalist Army received an order from the military headquarters to transfer Suzhou to defense, and today is the last day. The commander ignored the order to transfer the defense and came to the cross bridge to set up defenses, and at this time met the Japanese army on a narrow road and ordered a counterattack on the spot.

The national army besieged the cross bridge in three ways, blocked the Japanese army head-on on the west side of the bridge, and detoured back to the side of the devil from the rice field, and attacked from behind the devil. On the other hand, heavy troops were deployed south of the bridge to prevent the Japanese army from entering the urban area, leaving only the north and east ends of the bridge to allow the Japanese army to retreat to the road. The Japanese army did not expect to encounter the fierce resistance of the national army as soon as they stepped on the cross bridge, and for a while they could not figure out the details of the national army, so they gave up the battle, retreated to the north and east of the bridge, and launched a crazy counterattack after standing in position. The two armies engaged in a tug-of-war at the Cross Bridge, from day to night and from night to day. The cross bridge was captured by the Japanese army for a while, and then it was returned by the national army many times, you come and go, nine advance and nine retreat, the corpses on the bridge are all over the ground, and the Loushui River is also dyed blood.

The grass under the bridge could not figure out which side of the army was on the bridge, so they had to hide in the thatched grass and did not dare to move. It wasn't until the middle of the night, when the guns stopped ringing out, that the grass heard the people on the bridge speaking Chinese, so he walked out of the thatch, and just poked his head out, the soldiers guarding the bridge were startled, and the battle lasted for a day and a night, and there were people hiding under the bridge and not yet discovered? If the Japanese devils were hidden, and the general crawled out in the middle of the night and knocked him down with a shot, the national army would be finished. The soldiers guarding the bridge broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly pulled the bolt of their guns over for interrogation. The soldiers let them go to the bridge, asked her for the address of her home, and when they saw that they were two peasants who had taken refuge, they waved them away.

When the news of the Nationalist Army's stubborn resistance to the Japanese army in Guangfu came, the citizens enthusiastically supported the frontline war, and the workers' volunteers, student death squads, broadsword squads, ambulance squads, stretcher squads, and transport teams all took to the road to support the anti-Japanese war. There was a strange team on the road, it was a volunteer army composed of the unemployed group of workers of the Liangyou Factory led by Zhao Da, and the majestic volunteer army was mixed with rickshaws. Seeing that rickshaws can also contribute to the anti-Japanese war, other car dealers have launched their own rickshaws, regardless of yellow cars, black cars, or even people with cars to join the team, or hand over the rickshaws to the volunteers, let the volunteers dispose of them. After a while, manpower trucks and garbage trucks also joined the team, and at one time hundreds of rickshaws and more than 200 people gathered and drove to the front.

After the Japanese set fire to the Liangyou factory, Boss Chen was physically threatened, with the help of Lao Du, Boss Chen fled to the countryside for refuge, before leaving, he clasped Zhao Da's hand and said: "Take care of the factory, take care of the brothers!" Then he took off the armband of the volunteers and handed it to Zhao Da. Lao Du on the side told Zhao Da that he could only take Boss Chen alone, and asked Zhao Da to take care of Miss Chen's mother and daughter. Zhao Da clasped Lao Du's hand and said that he would never live up to Boss Chen's expectations, and would definitely take care of Miss Chen's mother and daughter, and Boss Chen left with confidence. Zhao Da spent a day in the police station, and when he came out, he gathered the members of the volunteers and paid for them to eat and live in the factory. Lao Du sent Boss Chen away, and seeing that Zhao Daken contributed to the workers, and there was no party or faction, it was best for him to take care of the Liangyou Factory, and proposed that Zhao Da also gather the unemployed workers, and the volunteers should be renamed the Unemployment League, so as to fight for the legitimate rights and interests of the unemployed workers from the municipal government. Unexpectedly, when Lao Du was negotiating with the city government on how to arrange the livelihood of the hundreds of workers in the unemployed regiment, the news of the Japanese army's attack on the Chinese army came. Lao Du immediately made a decision, leaving some people to continue to protect the factory, and the remaining more than 200 volunteers formed a death squad to ask the government to issue guns to support the front line. Zhao Da led the order, and Xianghai supported the rickshaw. Zhao Da commanded the rickshaw to transport the volunteers to the national army garrison for training day and night, and when the team crossed the Gaolang Bridge, they met the tailor Ah Mao.

Mao spent the night in the refugee camp, and the next day he entered the city and trotted all the way to the concession. The concession belonged to foreign territory, and the Japanese did not dare to hit the shells in the concession, so he felt safe, and inquired about "one street and two squares" while running, and passers-by pointed him all the way to the south. He came to a small road, which was a winding ridge path, with no road names and no pedestrians. After crossing a bridge again, I came to Mayushan Road, which has been rented out, and suddenly saw that there were more people, and a team of rickshaws came in front, and when the team came to the front, Ah Mao was pleasantly surprised to find that the leader was Zhao Da of Guangfu Houde Mansion. Although Zhao Da was wearing a gray cloth shirt, had two moustaches, shaved his head, tanned his skin, and lost a lot of weight, he still recognized it at once. Zhao Da saw that Ah Mao was covered in mud, as if he had crawled out of the ground, and hurriedly asked Ah Mao why he looked like this. Ah Mao recounted his experience, saying that he was going to "one street and two squares" to find his wife. Zhao Da said: "Ah Mao, you have gone too far, and crossing the Gaolang Bridge in front of you is 'one street and two squares'." Gu talked to Ah Mao, Zhao Da was already behind the team, and hurriedly said "take care" to Ah Mao, said goodbye to Ah Mao, and went to catch up with the team. When the citizens saw a long line of rickshaws coming up on the street, they were very curious, and they rushed to the streets to watch, and when they saw that it was the workers' volunteers, they immediately heard a cheer, and took out cotton clothes and pants from their homes, and threw all kinds of food into the car. For a time, the rickshaw volunteers became a great spectacle in Shanghai Tang news, and newspapers rushed to report it.

Ah Mao found "one street and two squares", which was a sloping land, and sure enough, he didn't notice it just now. When I walked into Xiangqingfang, I saw my lady sitting on the Taishi chair at the door of the first door of the alley, and smoked steadily. A Mao lady saw a ragged and unkempt man break into the alley, did not recognize it for a while, thought that the robber came to the door, frightened and hurriedly got up and hid in the house, but saw the man follow over and look at the door to the house, and was shocked again, in troubled times, if you encounter robbers and wicked people, there is no place to complain. Just as he was about to make a statement, the man shouted, "Lady-".
