Chapter 38 The thirty-eighth section enters the busiest and tense period of life

With the expansion of his career, the boat was lifted by the rising tide. Du Yuesheng's reputation grew day by day, and the range of acquaintances became wider and wider, with more and more friends and students.However, at this moment, the situation in China took a sharp turn for the worse and entered another period. Time entered the end of 1936, and the relationship between China and Japan was unprecedentedly tense. In North China and Central China, the two armies were in full battle. !” Therefore, the national policy at this time was to “try to adjust the diplomatic relations between China and Japan through diplomatic means, so as to eliminate the disaster of war”.

However, Japan did not care about these things. In 1936, Foreign Minister Koki Hirota proposed the world-famous Hirota Three Principles as the route Japan should take to invade China. The so-called "Hirota Three Principles", in short: 1. The Chinese government completely refuses to oppose Japan. 2. The "Manchu" cooperation between China and Japan is special in North China. 3. China and Japan "Manchu" jointly oppose the Communist Party. Uncover the hypocritical mask of Hirota's three principles. In fact, the poison Hirota gave to the Chinese is the bait of "economic support", that is, to use economic support to promote its "mainland policy" and complete the "Nimanzhi Group" "The dream.In the first one or two years before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, most Chinese people were deceived by this beautiful sugar coating, thinking that the Sino-Japanese war could be avoided in a short period of time, and the Sino-Japanese issue could be resolved through diplomatic channels.

In October 1936, the Japanese sent Kuwashima, director of the East Asia Bureau of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, to China to assist their Kawagoe ambassador in the Sino-Japanese negotiations. At the beginning of 1937, Japan's "economic support" movement reached its climax again.Japan's new foreign minister, Sato, delivered a speech in the House of Representatives, stating that Japan's China policy still adheres to the Hirota Three Principles and does not give up vested interests.Two days later, Japan sent another large-scale "economic investigation team" headed by Kenji Kodama, President of the National Bank of Japan. Aiichiro Fujiyama, who served as foreign minister.

This "economic investigation group" came to China, and it has attracted worldwide attention in the Far East, which is shrouded in war clouds and low pressure. Many people have high hopes for it, because its success can at least temporarily maintain peace in the East. If it fails , The flames of war are likely to erupt one after another. The Chinese and Japanese sides had carefully and properly arranged the "investigation team" that was crucial to the First Peace War in advance.Relevant parties agreed to form a "China-Japan Trade Association" with the Japanese economic investigation team as the backbone and cooperate with powerful people in China's financial and business circles to be responsible for promoting the "Japan-China Economic Cooperation Matters".

The proposed "China-Japan Trade Association" has two preparatory directors. The Chinese chairman is North China financial giant Zhou Zuomin, and the Japanese chairman is Kenji Kodama, president of the Bank of Japan.With this arrangement, the Japanese side feared that Zhou Zuomin would not be able to represent the financial and business circles in the south, so they expressed the hope that Du Yuesheng could participate through diplomatic channels.Therefore, Chiang Kai-shek appointed Du Yuesheng as the standing committee member of the association. At the same time, both China and Japan asked him to undertake a series of liaison and entertainment work when the "economic investigation team" arrived in Shanghai.

This important task has indeed enhanced Du Yuesheng's reputation, and his status has also increased a lot. However, it has also brought him great pain that is difficult to express.Because on the basic standpoint, he is an out-and-out patriotic and anti-Japanese activist, for which he has made a blockbuster performance. On the other hand, he is also a voluntary bodyguard for financial, industrial and commercial people in Shanghai. Everyone expects him to use local power Resisting foreign invading forces, the Japanese economic investigation team clearly came under the banner of aggressors, and the government also deliberately compromised when it was not fully prepared for the war. You have to be prepared to sacrifice, "exchange space for victory", "make the greatest effort for peace with the determination to make the final sacrifice", and no one can violate the established national policy.However, how much authority does Du Yuesheng have to represent all business people and make forced concessions against the greedy Japanese "economic investigation group"?This is where Du Yuesheng is in a great embarrassment.

However, when Kodama Kenji and his party arrived in Shanghai, Zhou Zuomin, Du Yuesheng and others still warmly welcomed the delegation. Du Yuesheng was smiling and full of depression.The Japanese "economic investigation group" arrived in Shanghai on March 14, and received an invitation from Chairman Jiang in Nanjing on the same day. Therefore, Zhou, Du and others accompanied them to Beijing the next day to attend the tea reception hosted by Chairman Jiang. At the tea party, Generalissimo Jiang made a welcome speech and emphasized: "Do unto others, do not impose on others!"

Du Yuesheng was excited and encouraged when he heard Generalissimo Jiang telling the "Japanese Economic Research Group" that he was righteous. At this time, he watched the "Japanese Economic Research Group" with cold eyes. After being reprimanded, his complexion suddenly changed, as if he was overwhelmed with emotion, and dared to be angry but dared not speak. At this time, Du Yuesheng felt very happy, and since then he secretly made a decision in his heart: he should try to resist the Japanese economic aggression. When the Japanese economic investigation team returned to Shanghai, Du Yuesheng began to adopt a non-cooperative attitude, doing his part in various negotiations, and fighting for reason.In addition, he also invited Yu Qiaqing, a big boss in Shanghai and the former chairman of the General Chamber of Commerce, to attend a meeting of the Japan Chamber of Commerce and Industry while the Japanese delegation was in Shanghai, and give an impromptu speech.Mr. Yu Qia understood Du Yuesheng's meaning well, and in his speech he was full of arguments that economic cooperation must be based on a parallel and reciprocal position, which greatly disappointed the Japanese side.Because the Chinese government and people stand firmly and cannot be shaken, and they unanimously stated that "if political issues are not resolved, there can be no talk of economic cooperation." On July 7, the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, which shocked the world, was launched.

As soon as the Anti-Japanese War kicked off, the news of Ji Xingwen sticking to Wanping came to Shanghai, and Du Yuesheng stood up against the enemy.At this time, he was the vice president of the Red Cross Society of China, the chairman of the Shanghai Local Association, and the chairman of the Shanghai Temporary Senate. However, he was not a member of the Chinese Communist Party. Therefore, Huang Yanpei, the secretary general of the Shanghai Local Association, came to Du Yuesheng stepped forward and suggested: "The predecessor of the Shanghai Local Association was the Anti-Japanese Support Association. Now that the full-scale war of resistance has begun, the frontline soldiers need a lot of assistance from the people of Shanghai, and the support association should be restored immediately."

After the Shi Liangcai incident, Huang Yanpei's behavior became more and more left-leaning. Du Yuesheng was wary of him for a long time. Now that he heard what he said, he wanted to test it further, so he asked: "What kind of recovery method?" Huang Yanpei said straightforwardly: "For quick results, use the original team, just change the name of the agency. To expand influence and exert strength, we must accommodate all parties and factions and people from all walks of life. The War of Resistance is a war for the whole people, and it cannot be handled by any party alone. , For example, Mr. Du, and I, Huang, do not belong to any party."

Knowing it well, Du Yuesheng smiled and replied calmly: "The Marco Polo Bridge has just been fired, and I don't know that there will be peace talks later. This matter is no small matter. Let's rest for two days and see what happens before we talk about it." He dismissed Huang Yanpei, and not long after, the second guest arrived. This was Wu Kaixian, member of the Standing Committee of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee and head of the organization.As soon as Du Yuesheng saw the business card, he asked to come in repeatedly, and the two sat down as guests and hosts. Wu Kaixian briefly analyzed the current situation. , He asked Du Yuesheng for advice on how to mobilize mass organizations to support frontline soldiers.Du Yuesheng listened to him quietly, and immediately revealed an excited look and said: "I think this matter should be led by the Shanghai Municipal Party Headquarters, mobilize all Shanghai public groups, and organize the Shanghai Anti-Enemy Support Association." After a pause, he said resolutely: "There is only one anti-enemy support association in Shanghai. The city party department only needs to actively lead it, and I will do my best to assist." After Du Yuesheng and Wu Kaixian agreed on the principle, he repeatedly emphasized that no one is allowed to start anew and disperse power. His expression not only raised Wu Kaixian's vigilance, but also made him sincerely grateful, thinking that Du Yuesheng could abandon Huang Yanpei, a fellow villager and old friend of decades , and the premise of everything is the interests of the Kuomintang. This friendship is extremely precious and touching to him personally and even the Kuomintang. In order to buy time, Du and Wu took immediate action. They drew up a paper list in the living room of Du's mansion on Huagequan Road, and immediately ordered people to write invitations and deliver them separately.The invitation was signed by Du and Wu, and invited the most prestigious and potential good guys in Shanghai to hold a meeting at Zhonghui Bank on Aiduoya Road in the morning of the second day to discuss important issues. The next morning, Huang Yanpei was still thinking about how to persuade Du Yuesheng. The conference room of Zhonghui Bank had already been crowded with people talking about it, and the "Shanghai Anti-Enemy Support Association Preparatory Meeting" was officially established immediately and smoothly. Xinzhi, Yu Qiaqing, Xu Jiyu, and Huang Hanzhi were the presidium, and it was decided to hold a general meeting in three days. When Huang Yanpei got the news, it was a done deal, the leftist figures were completely unknown in the anti-enemy support club and were rejected. Three days later, the inaugural meeting was held. Hundreds of representatives from all walks of life attended. 121 members were elected on the spot, and 35 members of the standing committee were re-elected by the members. Baichuan just happened to return to China after finishing his studies, and now he just happened to be elected, and the post of secretary-general happened to belong to "Tao". The meeting decided to set up various committees for fundraising, supply, rescue, and publicity. Everyone was chattering and noisily nominating the person in charge. Du Yuesheng got impatient and stood up and said loudly: "You must volunteer for the support of the enemy. Let me, Du, volunteer first. Among the various committees, the most difficult thing to do is probably the recruitment committee. I will do this one!" After waiting for a while, no second volunteer was seen, so Du Yuesheng shouted again: "The second most difficult thing is the supply committee, brother Xin, you can do this, okay?" Qian Xinzhi could only smile and nod, accepting. The composition of the meeting and the presumption of personnel, Du Yuesheng said: "Supporting the front is equal to firefighting. We can't delay for a moment. We have to start working immediately. However, the problem is that the city party department does not have the budget for the funds needed for the office. Even if it does, the amount is too large to afford. Du Yuesheng said It’s easy to ask for copper coins, and I, Du, will be responsible for all the expenses in the early days of establishment.” Soon, all walks of life in Shanghai unanimously and enthusiastically supported the Anti-Japanese War, setting off a wave of donations that was even more grand and magnificent than during the "28th" Incident, and the momentum of donations was surging like a storm.Secretary-General Tao Baichuan checked the accounts and found that Du Yuesheng’s personal advance payment was already quite large. Therefore, according to the previous proposal, a portion of the donation was repaid. When Du Yuesheng saw the check, he immediately returned it. He said: "Citizens donate money to fight against the enemy's labor force. How can I, Du, deduct it?" Everyone laughed and told him: "Then Mr. Du can't waste the money? Mr. Du is not willing to accept it, and it's inconvenient to deal with it in the account. Otherwise, let's transfer it to Mr. Du's donation!" Du Yuesheng nodded and said: "You can make donations, but you don't have to write my name." "If you don't write about Mr. Du's donation, who should you write about?" After thinking about it, Du Yuesheng replied decisively: "Just write the standing committee donation!" Fight wars, ask for money, and cost a lot of money.Just as Du Yuesheng was working on the anti-enemy support club, he was busy and tense, and there was no time to warm up the table. One day, Hua Gejielu came to a distinguished guest. The Minister of Finance Song Ziwen came to discuss with Du Yuesheng. A "recruitment committee" must be located in Shanghai. "Minister Song," Du Yuesheng blurted out, "I need an office location. I wonder if my new house on Dumei Road is enough?" "enough." "Then, I will immediately free up the rice and donate it to the solicitation committee. No matter how long it is used, Du will not charge a cent of the rent." Next, Song Ziwen and Du Yuesheng discussed a more important issue, how should public debts in Shanghai be raised?Du Yuesheng thought carefully, and he suggested: "Of course, the more public bonds, the better. This time, it's best to spread them widely. Friends from the industrial and commercial circles, I hope they can subscribe as much as possible, and Shanghai citizens should also generally buy." Song Ziwen applauded his suggestion.Therefore, Du Yuesheng set up two recruiting teams in one breath. The leader of the Shanghai citizen recruiting team was himself, and the leader of the Shanghai business community recruiting team pushed Wang Xiaolai, the chairman of the Shanghai General Chamber of Commerce. Please help, Du Yuesheng stepped over and became the deputy head of the business recruiting team. Before the July 7th Incident, Xu Shiying, an old friend of Du Yuesheng, the Chinese ambassador to Japan, returned to China to report on his duties. Soon after, he fell ill and was seeking medical treatment.When Du Yuesheng heard the news, he immediately rushed to the North Station to meet him, and then sent him to the ship bound for Japan.At this time, the wind was clear on the river, the microwave was not blowing, and the warship flying the sun flag was moored nearby. Xu Shiying never mentioned the possibility of establishing a peace agreement when he went to Japan to negotiate, but said meaningfully: "I'm afraid you'll be very busy again." Du Yuesheng understood Xu Shiying's hint, he couldn't help being generous, and replied happily: "I'm just 50 years old this year. I'm in the prime of life, and my body can handle it. As long as the country has a place for me, I, Du, will definitely die!" Four days later, on July 17, Chiang Kai-shek made a statement in Lushan, pointing out that after the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, the ferocious face of the Japanese warlords had been fully exposed. day declared war. At the end of July, Beiping fell, and at the beginning of August, the situation in Shanghai was tense. First, there was a provocative scandal in which sailors disappeared and were found. In the midst, gunshots finally sounded in the sinister Shanghai. An officer and a soldier of the Japanese Marine Corps were riding in a car and were about to forcibly rush into Hongqiao Airport, but were stopped by the airport guards. A gun battle broke out between the two sides. One person was killed. Therefore, on August 11, 27 Japanese warships sailed into Wusongkou, prepared for war, and threatened China to withdraw the security forces stationed in Shanghai.From this day on, the people of Shanghai began to realize that the disaster of war was not only inevitable, but also imminent. Thousands of residents in Zhabei rushed to the foreign concession with their bags and cages, flooding the streets, and discarded furniture and luggage everywhere. , Cars were forced to park in the middle of the street, and more and more refugees poured into the concession, and the concession could not accept them all, so most of them had to eat and sleep in the open, sleeping on the concrete floor with unopened bedding.Du Yuesheng supervised the charity groups in the concession and tried their best to provide relief. On August 13, the Songhu War broke out. In the "January 28th" battle, among the powerful national army forces resisting the Japanese army, Wang Jingjiu of the 87th Division guarded the new urban area of ​​Jiangwan, and Sun Yuanliang of the 88th Division stationed in Shanghai North Railway Station. Shining bayonets confronted the Japanese soldiers separated from each other. . The 6,000 Japanese marines stationed in Shanghai were dispatched from the barracks in Tiantongyan, which was like a barracks of reinforced concrete and gold soup and iron pools. At 9:15, they divided into two groups to challenge the national troops in Jiangwan and Zhabei. Three-dimensional tactics, indiscriminate bombing by planes, heavy artillery bombardment, followed by a line-up charge. On the first day, our army fought back with all its strength. On the 14th, the climax of the Shanghai War was set off, causing the people of Shanghai to applaud and cheer for a while, weeping and wailing for a while. In the morning, the newspaper published an incident. The Japanese Air Force took off from Taiwan Songshan Airport and bombed the Chinese Air Force Base Hangzhou Jianqiao. Nine enemy planes led to an unprecedented and unprecedented 0:9 victory. When the good news came, the citizens of Shanghai were overjoyed and rushed to tell each other with great excitement.Therefore, when our fighter planes flew over Shanghai that afternoon and bombed the enemy's base area, the Kung-da Spinning Factory, the area around Hongkou, and the Japanese flagship "Izumo" moored in the Huangpu River, the Shanghainese completely forgot their own danger and scrambled to be the first. Some went to the river to watch the battle.Chinese and Japanese fighter jets and bombers fought fiercely in the air outside the concession, flying up and down, raining bullets. After a while, Hongkou was bombed, and thick flames and smoke rose thousands of feet high. On the surface of the river, the thick smoke that touched the nose was blown to Puxi by the river wind. No one could escape its invasion, and millions of raped people were all choking and coughing. In Hongkou and Zhabei, the 87th Division and the 88th Division showed great power and launched sprints many times, so that the Dongyang sailors could only parry and had no power to fight back, and the encirclement gradually narrowed. At this time, the telephone in the Du Mansion kept ringing, and good news came one after another: the Song Xilian Division of the 36th Division of the National Army and the Xia Chu Division of the 98th Division of the National Army are about to arrive; The 6,000 enemy troops were all surrounded and wiped out. Just as they were rejoicing and celebrating with their foreheads, suddenly there was a loud bang, the house of Du Mansion on Huagequan Road was shaking, and the glass windows were rattling. As soon as Mo Lin woke up, he immediately went to answer the phone and asked what happened.Unexpectedly, his questioning was not finished yet, and then there was another bombing, shaking the sky and making people lose their minds, the phone receiver in Wan Molin's hand was almost shaken to the ground, he asked questions one after another, and waited until the other party After replying, before he had time to hang up the phone, he yelled loudly: "Grandpa, it's not good, a bomb fell at the gate of the Great World, and I don't know how many people were killed!" Du Yuesheng calmed down, and asked in doubt: "One bomb? Or two?" So Wan Molin dialed again and inquired again. This time, the information was much more detailed. He reported: "Grandpa, it was a Chinese plane that was injured. It flew over the foreign concession and dropped two bombs. The first bomb landed on the Great World, killing more than 1,000 people, and the second bomb landed on the Bund of the main road. Hundreds of them were also killed! They said that those two places were filled with rivers of blood and piled up with corpses, what a tragedy!" This was a great tragedy on the second day of the Battle of Songhu. Just because the Chinese army won the battle, the roads in the concession were crowded with people, and the residents all came out to watch the excitement, rejoicing like a Chinese New Year. Unexpectedly, the injured fighter plane lost control. The bombs he carried fell automatically, causing heavy casualties of more than 2,000 people, and making the people of Shanghai laugh and cry.However, the patriotic enthusiasm of the compatriots in Shanghai was unprecedentedly high. They wiped away their tears and became more determined. Instead of complaining, they all praised the unknown Air Force hero.Because he risked the crash of the plane and forced the damaged plane to fly over the densely populated concessions and urban areas. If he escaped by parachute and let the plane fall, he would not know how much disaster he would bring to the people of Shanghai. . On August 15th, the third day of the Shanghai War, Japanese military planes were fully dispatched to bomb the Beijing-Shanghai line, and the battle at Hongkou in Zhabei was unprecedentedly fierce.On the night of this day, a mysterious and unusual distinguished guest arrived at the Du mansion in Huagebeilu, which made Du Yuesheng overjoyed. !" So, this distinguished guest was invited into the living room with a smile on his face. He was of medium build, full of vigor in every move, with a high forehead, two sword eyebrows, a pair of piercing eyes, sincere and enthusiastic, and a horse face with a big nose and a wide mouth. , the heaven is particularly full.He is Dai Li, named Yunong.Since that day when he shook hands with Du Yuesheng tightly, he has become Du Yuesheng's closest comrade-in-arms, a best friend like a brother.The combination of Dai Du and fighting side by side made the two of them contribute a lot to the war of resistance. Dai Li, formerly known as Chunfeng, also known as Zhenglan, was born in Xianxia Township, Jiangshan, Zhejiang. On the eve of the Anti-Japanese War, the scale of military command led by Dai Li was already very large, and the activities of military command personnel ranged from large cities to border villages and towns, and even overseas.The Japanese military specially named them "Blue Clothes Society". Du Yuesheng and Dai Li are like each other with sincerity, and they are both gentlemen of the same sex. They have known each other very early. As early as in Shanghai, Du Yuesheng and Dai Li had had a relationship.Now, he and Dai Li sat down as guest and host, and exchanged pleasantries. Dai Li straightforwardly explained the purpose of coming, but this made Du Yuesheng hesitate a lot. Because Dai Li gesticulated and talked freely, the requests and plans he put forward made Du Yuesheng, who had been a justice of the peace and social leader for half his life, sound too crazy and bold, almost the work of a madman. It turned out that less than half a month ago, Dai Li formed an army of more than 2,000 people out of nothing in Tianjin with a few telegrams, possessing more than 700 long and short guns.After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Dai Li also sent a telegram to Wang Xinheng, the head of the Tianjin station of the Army Command, to try to organize a "plainclothes team" to attack the enemy in the enemy-occupied area.Due to the common hatred of patriotic youths, they volunteered one after another, and a strong team of more than 2,000 people was established within a few days. This achievement inspired Dai Li's ambition. Expand the scope in Shanghai and establish a new army with a larger number and stronger strength. Dai Li was extremely excited and eloquently revealed his astonishing plan to Du Yuesheng. He hoped that this new army would have enough troops to be distributed in Huxi, Pudong and Suzhou Creek to formally assist the Allied forces in combat.Knowing how complicated and vast this area is, Du Yuesheng couldn't help interrupting Dai Li, and asked tentatively: "Mr. Dai said enough troops, roughly how many people are needed?" Dai Li replied concisely and simply, saying decisively: "At the very least, 10,000 people are needed." When Du Yuesheng heard this, he couldn't help gasping. How easy is it to form an army of 10,000 at once?If it is a fight back, shouting and cheering, gathering crowds to cause trouble, with Du Yuesheng's huge influence in Shanghai's industrial and commercial circles, and Bai Xiangren's supreme authority in the world, let alone eight thousand, one hundred thousand or eighty thousand people are needed. It is also possible to scold, but Dai Li wants to form an army. Under the cannons, machine guns, plane bombs of the stubborn enemy, he asked the rich and rich young man on the beach to take off his civilian clothes, put on military uniforms, and leave his family for a long time. Don't have wives and children, go to the front line to fight without training.Du Yuesheng is that he can take off his long gown without changing his pride, and then become a lieutenant general and major general, but can he drag tens of thousands of sons to die for the country without hesitation? Seeing him groaning silently, Dai Li hesitated for a moment, then said more emphatically: "This is a very important matter. The future of the Anti-Japanese War is closely related to this. Therefore, before I left Nanjing, I had already consulted Chairman Jiang for instructions. The Chairman thought it must be done, and he agreed that all the serial numbers , ordnance, ammunition, and food and salaries can all be issued by the central government.” Hearing about the Central Committee and Chairman Jiang, Du Yuesheng's eyes lit up, and at the same time, he also made a decision in his heart.Since Dai Li insisted strongly, Chairman Jiang also believed that it must be done.Then, regardless of success or failure, the only way to achieve this goal is to do your best. However, he still did not dare to answer with certainty, and first said: "Since this is a major event, we need to find a few more friends and try to get everyone to help." "Mr. Du's words are very correct." Dai Lijian was full of courage and moved quickly, and he took out a pen and paper when he answered, "Let's discuss with each other and draw up a list of planners." The two of them got together, they had a lot of business, and after a short while, they came up with an impressive list, including the mayor of Shanghai Yu Hongjun, the new chairman of Guangdong Province Wu Tiecheng, Bei Zuyi from the financial and business circles, Qian Xinzhi, Ji Zhangjian, Cai Jinjun, Du Yuesheng, and Dai Li are ex officio members of the military and police. In addition, an old friend of Du Yuesheng, Liu Junjun Liu Zhilu, who is proficient in strategy and good at commanding large armies, is also included. After the list was drawn up, Dai Li rubbed his hands happily and said: "The location of the preparation is temporarily located at the Sanji Radio School." The Sanji Radio School is located on Lafayette Road in the French Concession, not far from the residences of Du Yuesheng and Mrs. Yao. This arrangement is of course very convenient for Du Yuesheng. When it came to the organization of the action team and the recruitment of personnel, Dai Li analyzed it in detail and said lightly: "Mr. Du, it's actually not too difficult to recruit 10,000 people. The five detachments and one special agent brigade I mentioned are more than enough to gather the personnel responsible for intelligence and operations in the Beijing-Shanghai area. There are also students above high school who are being trained. If they are asked to join the army and participate automatically, I think it will be no problem to get two to three thousand people. According to this calculation, Mr. Du, you only need to call on six or seven thousand people to compile it. Three detachments are enough." This made Du Yuesheng excited, and he immediately replied: "I also thought about it just now. The security regiments in various districts in Shanghai have people and guns, and they have received some training. Most of their regiment leaders are my students. For example, Hong Yanbin, the head of the Zhabei Security Regiment, and the Wusong Defense Regiment. Tang Chengzong... asked them to ask the brothers in the security team if they would like to participate? I think it might not be a problem to find a thousand people." "That's right!" Dai Li clapped his hands happily, and reminded him, "Mr. Du, don't forget that you still have two generals." "Which two?" "Lu Jingshi and Zhu Xuefan." "Ah!" Du Yuesheng suddenly realized, and immediately said, "Mr. Dai means to recruit among the workers?" "Of course!" Dai Li said confidently, "There are more than one million workers in Shanghai, and most of them are patriotic and do not want to be descended from future generations. Asking Lu Jingshi and the others to stand up and call for thousands of people is not a word. " On August 15th, the long talk between Du Yuesheng and Dai Li laid the foundation for the establishment of the "Jiangsu-Zhejiang Action Corps" and the "Loyalty and National Salvation Army", and at the same time established the true friendship between Du and Dai. Dai Li became Du Yuesheng's closest and most sincere friend in his life. At the same time, more importantly, because of this meeting, Du Yuesheng, who was half a hundred years old, in the next 14 years of his life, his fate and future, were all for him. It suddenly changed. Through the unanimous efforts of Du Yuesheng and Dai Li, they accomplished an unprecedented miracle in Chinese history in a short period of one or two months. A team was born and died, and a hundred-trained army would form an army within a short time. The number of people exceeded 10,000. 800 people.Subsequently, this newly created force was awarded by Chiang Kai-shek the designations of "Jiangsu-Zhejiang Action Committee" and "Jiangsu-Zhejiang Action Committee Special Forces".The Action Committee has three standing members: Du Yuesheng, Dai Li, and Liu Zhilu, and 15 members. In addition to Du, Dai, Liu, and those in charge of the preparations, the Minister of Finance Song Ziwen, Yu Zuobai and Zhang Zhizhong from the military, and Du Yuesheng Brother Xiaolin dragged in --- Zhang Xiaolin.Due to Zhang Xiaolin's decadent and pessimistic remarks at the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, Du Yuesheng was more concerned about him. To take precautions, Du Yuesheng's idea was to put his name on the list of committee members first, lest he really fall into the water and become a traitor. At this time, in Zhabei and Jiangwan, the war between China and Japan was in full swing, and the sky was falling apart. The whole Shanghai Beach could hear rumbling guns and rattling gunshots all day long.The horrific and terrifying scene of war shocked the 5 million people in Shanghai, and also made their blood boil and filled with righteous indignation.Du Yuesheng has entered the busiest and tense period of his life since the opening of the August 13th War. Every day from morning to night, from night to night, he has countless visitors who are eager to meet, and there are countless things in his life. Waiting for him to decide and deal with it.The establishment and training of the Rangers are in a hurry, and the episode of the National Salvation Bond is also imminent. Everything in the anti-enemy support club is in a hurry, from the big boss who is full of fat and money every day, to the haggard rickshaw driver who can't eat three meals a day , They are all rushing to lose, each rushing to donate gold dollar bills, French currency copper coins, medical supplies, towels and soap, and pile up all the offices of the "support club" into a department store with everything.These many comfort items and money must be counted and announced every day, and sent to the front line. "
