On October 27, hundreds of people in the magic capital stood on the south bank of Suzhou Creek and saw hundreds of soldiers of the national army fighting bloodily.

More than 400 people from the second battalion of the 524th Regiment of the 88th Division of the National Revolutionary Army, which guarded the "Dachang defense line", were led by staff officer Xie Jinyuan as acting deputy regiment commander and battalion commander Yang Ruifu to lurk in the Sixing warehouse on the north bank of the Suzhou Creek to cover the retreat of the army. After the orderly retreat of the national army, the battalion was still unwilling to leave its position, and swore an oath to deal with the enemy, which was tragic and fierce.

A young girl, risking her life, swam across the Suzhou Creek, through the no-man's land, and presented a red flag full of blue sky and white sun to more than 400 warriors.

When the people on the south bank of Suzhou Creek saw this scene, they were all moved to tears!

Yang Huimin brought out the list of 800 heroes, and because of this feat, he was praised by people.

After the battle, Yang Huimin also retreated to the rear. In 93, under the sponsorship of Dong Xianguang, then director of the Propaganda Department of the Qingbai Party, Yang Huimin accepted the praise of Mrs. Qing on Women's Day.

In 939, Yang Huimin was selected by the Nationalist Government to visit Europe. During her journey to Europe, she was received by Italian Prime Minister Benito Mussolini, German Führer Hitler, and the Queen of the Netherlands. Hitler, in particular, plucked off his medal and pinned it to Yang Huimin, and said to her: "You are a role model for young men and women in Germany!"

In 94, when the Japanese army occupied Hong Kong, Yang Huimin was responsible for contacting well-known artists such as Mei Lanfang and Hu Die, and retreated from Hong Kong to Chongqing. However, due to a misunderstanding due to refusal to help the movie star Hu Die carry more than 30 suitcases, Dai Li, the director of the Military Command Bureau of the National Government at that time, had a soft spot for Hu Die, a married woman, and Hu Die complained to Dai Li about the personal holiday with Yang Huimin because of the luggage delivery on the occasion of becoming Dai Li's mistress. Therefore, Dai Li, who was in power for a while, ordered Yang Huimin to be imprisoned and charged with "Great Red Party" and "Japanese spy".

It was not until March 946, after Dai Li's death due to a landline crashing into a mountain, that Yang Huimin was quietly released, and from the age of 27 to 3, Yang Huimin spent about 4 years in black prison.

After four years of unjustified imprisonment, Yang Huimin was deeply traumatized physically and mentally, depressed, and settled on Baodao, incognito, never mentioning the past, and unwilling to accept relief from the Qingbai Party. It was only after her death that her son relayed from her friend that she risked her life to send the flag.

After the Japanese army captured the magic capital, they continued to attack and advance.

The 6th Division of the Japanese Army landed at Baimaokou near Taicang. The national army retreated from Taicang, Kunshan, and Liuhe, and adjusted the whole line, starting from Fushan in the east, often familiarizing, crossing Suzhou, Wujiang, and Pingwang, connecting Jiaxing in the west, and reaching Zhapu to Dushan in the southeast. The Japanese army advanced towards the town of Zhitang. The 15th and 21st Group Armies of the National Army entered the Changfu position. The spies told the Japanese that there were vacant areas and weak strongholds, and at the insistence of German military advisers, Jinling built a series of fortified fortresses, but in reality they withdrew without a fight.

On the 5th of the month, Mr. Qing convened a meeting and hoped that the Nationalist army would work hard to resist and cover the relocation of the capital. The retreat from Jinling began.

On the 9th of the month, the Nationalist Army ordered to abandon the Wufu Line. Xu Yongchang: "At nine o'clock, I learned that Jiaxing was occupied by the enemy, and our army retreated to a line a few miles away from the city. Nanxun was also occupied by the enemy. Changzhou Gu Mosan called, Suzhou was occupied by the enemy, and the line of Wuxi and Jiangyin had been retreated. Because he went to Mr. Qing, he decided that he didn't have to talk about defending the city anymore, and only begged the line from Jiangyin to Chang'an to be held for a few more days. According to He Yingqinyun: Only the important goods of the Ministry of Military Affairs can only be transported by 100 trains. ”

At this time, the national army became a mess.

Mr. Qing left in his diary: "There are no steps, the whole line is withdrawn, there is no regularity, and it is extremely painful!"

On the 20th of the month, the Japanese army approached Suzhou, and seeing that Suzhou was about to be lost, suddenly there was an independent 35th brigade of the Sichuan Army, which broke out with amazing combat power!

Among them, there was a two-meter-tall man, with a company of soldiers, each holding a light machine gun, three in and three out of the Japanese position, beating a large group of Japanese soldiers to the point of fleeing!

After that, the Japanese army came to increase the strength of two wings, and the 35th Independent Brigade of the Sichuan Army held its position and did not retreat an inch.

The battle was very fierce and lasted for five days and four nights, with more than 300 casualties among the Sichuan troops, and two Japanese wings almost perished! The number of dead and wounded reached 200! But the follow-up forces were still pouring in!

Five days and five nights, sleepless, everyone can't bear it!

Fortunately, from the third day, Gu Rumei appeared, holding a yaoqin in her arms, and playing the piano from time to time, which made people feel refreshed and barely supported it.

With these five days and four nights, the vast majority of the people of Suzhou have escaped! Moreover, the national army has transferred a large amount of supplies.

Subsequently, with the Japanese army increasing the number of divisions, the independent 35th brigade had to retreat.

When Mr. Qing got the news, he was very relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he saw a detailed battle report, saying that the reason why the 35th Brigade fought bravely and did not know the loss was because it got a batch of machine guns, which were said to be funded by the Qin family, the richest man in the Republic of China, and a brigade of 7,000 people actually had more than 500 light machine guns and more than 50 heavy machine guns, which was more powerful than the ace division of the Central Army.

In addition, the battle report also mentioned that the 35 th Brigade produced a fierce man, and Gu Ruhu, the son of brigade commander Gu Han, took the lead and led a company of soldiers to rush into the enemy camp, and in the end only a dozen people returned! Gu Ruhu was hit by 50 bullets in his body, but he still fought to the death! And he survived! Gu Ruhu alone killed more than 300 Japanese soldiers, including Dazuo and Shaozuo!

When Mr. Qing saw this, he couldn't help but exclaim: "What a tiger general! Inform the three armies and commend the 35th Brigade! Promote it to a reinforced division and replenish the number of troops to 4,000! Promote Gu Han to lieutenant general and division commander, and Gu Ruhu to major battalion commander! And replenish ammunition and retreat to defend Jinling!"

At the same time, he announced that the Nationalist Government would be moved to Chongqing, Sichuan Province, and that it would be established as the capital of the country, and that the main military and political organs would be located in Hankow.

On the 26th of the month, the Nationalist Army ordered the abandonment of the Xicheng Line.

The Magic Capital was the seventh largest city in the world at the time, with a population after Berlin, London, Moscow, New York, Paris and Tokyo. In the defense of the city at the end of 937, the city was devastated, when 499 factories and workshops were destroyed and 70% of their industrial capacity was lost. The influx of refugees into the public and French concessions, which are only 0 square miles, has caused the population to skyrocket from 500,000 to 4 million, leaving countless people on the streets.

According to historical records, in the coldest winter of 937, tens of thousands of corpses were found on the streets of the magic capital.

Since the outbreak of the war, Yangshupu, Zhabei, Huxi, and Nanshi have all been occupied by the Japanese army, but the public concession and the French concession along the Huangpu River have been surrounded and have not yet been occupied, and the municipal power is still in the hands of the Ministry of Industry and Bureau of the concession. In this area, the external traffic remains smooth, and the internal traffic is gradually restored, forming a free commercial market and the import and export of domestic trade are completely free, so it has become a special "isolated island", which includes the area of Huangpu River in the east, Fahua Road and Daxi Road in the west, Suzhou Creek in the north, and Zhaojiabang Road in the south.

Tao Juyin, a reporter from the Republic of China, recorded: "Suzhou Creek is separated by a water, on one side is the sound of cannons, on the other side is the sheng song Dadan, whenever night falls, the electric torch in the concession all night is connected with the fire light of Zhabei through the dark night sky, reflecting half of the sky. “
