During the Songhu Battle, all walks of life in Shanghai spared no effort to support the Anti-Japanese War. The patriotic national salvation organizations were the largest in major cities in the country and also the largest contributors. What the communications staff just said was that the people in Shanghai showed support for the Anti-Japanese War.

A corner of patriotic enthusiasm is far from the whole picture.

In Qinchuan's memory of his previous life, before the war of resistance against Japan began, there were dozens of groups in Shanghai including the "Cultural Circles Salvation Association", "Women's Salvation Association", "University and Middle School Students' National Salvation Association", "Professors' National Salvation Association", etc. who advocated the war of resistance.

A patriotic and national salvation organization.

Under the propaganda of these patriotic and national salvation organizations, the enthusiasm of people from all walks of life in Shanghai for the patriotic and national salvation movement has been unprecedentedly high.

During the Battle of Songhu, many touching stories of resistance and national salvation emerged in Shanghai. There were even truck drivers who were forcibly recruited by the Japanese army to transport supplies and soldiers for the Japanese army. They did not hesitate to sacrifice their lives for the country and resolutely drove a truck full of Japanese soldiers into the city.

The feat of Huangpu River.

Qinchuan still remembers that after the Battle of Songhu began, all walks of life in Shanghai not only vigorously raised various materials to support and comfort the participating troops, but also immediately began to collect donations. So far, hundreds of thousands have been raised, and by September 10th, they will have raised more than 100,000 yuan.

After receiving more than 1.5 million in cash, the Kuomintang Party began to issue "national salvation bonds" in Shanghai to raise military expenses. In September alone, people in Shanghai subscribed for more than 19 million yuan in national salvation bonds.<

Qin Chuan even secretly decided that if he finds an opportunity, he will notify his elder brother and ask Smith to buy one million national salvation bonds for him, and he will also do his part.

Moreover, Smith's appearance will create a sensational effect and trigger a series of chain reactions. For example, people in Shanghai will be more enthusiastic about buying national salvation bonds, especially Shanghai's wealthy businessmen, because after all, a foreigner will buy a million-dollar national salvation bond at a time.

Public bonds, they, the wealthy people in Shanghai, only purchased 108,000 yuan in national salvation bonds, which is really unreasonable.

In addition, it is estimated that overseas Chinese abroad will also trigger a wave of donations, especially among the overseas Chinese community in the United States.

The "Seven Gentlemen" arrested before the "Shaanxi Revolution" were the leaders of the "National Federation for National Salvation from All walks of life" in Shanghai, which had great influence in the country. These people were released on bail on July 31.

Since these people returned to the "National Salvation Federation", it means that the Kuomintang Party has officially recognized their existence. Not only have they been legalized, but also due to the arrest of the "Seven Gentlemen", the "National Salvation Federation" has become famous. Not only

In Shanghai, and even in China, their reputation suddenly rose. The members of the "National Salvation Federation" were even more excited, and their enthusiasm for resisting Japan and saving the country was extremely high. They had already taken to the streets, actively raised funds, and at the same time purchased a large number of urgently needed supplies for the troops participating in the war.

Mr. Du, who has always been unwilling to take a backseat to patriotism and national salvation, naturally went all out to enthusiastically support the Shanghai Anti-Japanese War. Not only did he immediately join the "Shanghai Anti-Enemy Relief Association", he also served as a fundraising committee member with a heavy task, specializing in

Responsible for raising funds.

In addition, he also set up a temporary field rescue hospital on his own to help the troops participating in the war treat the wounded. He also initiated the establishment of ambulance teams, transportation teams and other civilian forces to support the troops participating in the war. He also made great efforts to support the troops participating in the war with supplies.<

/p>

Not only did he raise a large amount of meat, canned food, food, medicine, tents and other supplies for the troops participating in the war, he also made great efforts in other supplies.

One of the more famous things is that in the early days of the Songhu Battle, after he transported a batch of supplies to Zhenru Laojun, he met General Zhang, commander of the Beijing-Shanghai Garrison Command, and asked General Zhang what supplies the army still lacked. When he heard that due to the long follow-up,

There may be a large number of troops arriving. In order to effectively communicate and convey combat orders, when there is an urgent need for telephone switching equipment, he immediately agreed to it.

However, telephone switching equipment is not immediately available in Shanghai.

After searching for the other party to no avail, he was originally planning to dismantle the switchboard switching equipment of the "Zhonghui Bank" under his control and send it to the Beijing-Shanghai Security Command for emergency response, but suddenly he heard that the German Siemens Bank in the concession had a set of switching equipment.

, but it has been used by others

After placing the order, Mr. Du immediately asked someone to contact the orderer, and told him that he could make any price as long as he was willing to give up the equipment. He even said, "If you don't spend money, you can't make a difference."

A popular "famous quote".

Sure enough, the other party finally transferred the switch.

Although the people in Shanghai actively support the Chinese army in the war of resistance in Shanghai, it is inevitable that there are spies bribed by the Japanese, and there may even be Japanese agents and spies.

The location of the 88th Division headquarters in Zhabei is definitely a military secret. If ordinary people are allowed to come and go as they please, confidential information may be leaked, making it easy for the Japanese to learn such confidential military information.

Although the Japanese army does not currently have air superiority at the beginning of the war, this situation will soon change. Moreover, the Japanese army still has an absolute artillery advantage. Most of the naval guns on their warships cruising on the Huangpu River are

You can hit Zhabei, which is almost within easy reach.

If the headquarters of the 88th Division is bombed, the 88th Division, which serves as the main force in the attack and is at the critical moment of the attack, will immediately be in a state of chaos without a leader, and even cause the entire combat deployment to be chaotic in a short period of time.

But for the people in Shanghai who enthusiastically supported the Anti-Japanese War, they flatly refused their good intention to go to the 88th Division Headquarters to comfort the troops, which was really unspeakable.

How to convince the senior officials of the Eighty-Eighth Division to immediately transfer the division headquarters without chilling the hearts of the people in Shanghai made Qin Chuan very embarrassed.

While Qin Chuan was thinking nervously, the staff officer had arranged for the special forces brought by Qin Chuan to rest. He himself took Qin Chuan and Shen Shuyi to a side room on the left side of the main hall of Guanyin Hall to wait.

Soon, Zhang Boting, Chief of Staff of the Eighty-Eighth Division, walked into the room with a heavy face. After he saw Qin Chuan and Shen Shuyi, Zhang Boting showed a smile on his face, stepped forward, stretched out his hand, held Qin Chuan's hand tightly and said.

"Captain Qin, thank you for your hard work! Commander Sun has repeatedly asked me to thank you on his behalf. It is precisely because of your heroic fighting that the assault force is not only one step away from completing the Iron Fist Plan, but the casualties are far less than we expected. Commander Sun has already

I will personally ask for your credit from the Beijing-Shanghai Security Command."

Qin Chuan shook his head hurriedly and said, "Chief of Staff Zhang, now is not the time to talk about this. Since the Eighty-eighth Division headquarters does not take any precautions and allows people to come and go, I think the specific location of your division headquarters will soon be occupied by the Japanese."
