From August 13 to November 12, 1937, it lasted three months
Battle of Songhu
It ended with the fall of Shanghai and the japanese victory. Chiang Kai-shek withdrew from Shanghai and temporarily moved most of the core military and political institutions to Wuhan. But just as he was evacuating Shanghai, Chiang Kai-shek ordered
Li
There must be one person, and this person is Zhang Xiaolin. So who is this Zhang Xiaolin? Why did Chiang Kai-shek have to get rid of him? Who killed him?
In the Shanghai Beach in the 1920s and 1930s, Zhang Xiaolin was mentioned as a fierce and well-known name. Zhang Xiaolin is the leader of the Shanghai Youth Gang.
Known as the "tricolor tycoon", he opened brothels, drug dealers, and murdered people.
Together with Jin Jinrong and Du Yuesheng, he is known as the "Three Tycoons of the Green Gang".
In 1877, Zhang Xiaolin was born in Cixi County, Zhejiang Province, and his original name was Zhang Xiaolin. His father was a carpenter, and in order to find more opportunities to work, his father took the family to move to the area of Gongchen Bridge in Hangzhou, which was relatively wealthy at that time. His father also sent Zhang Xiaolin to a private school to study, Zhang Xiaolin was not good at learning, after the death of Zhang Xiaolin's father, 13-year-old Zhang Xiaolin began to "mix in the rivers and lakes". Relying on Ken meng's abduction to the age of 26, Zhang Xiaolin decided to change, so he found someone to tell his fortune and changed his name to Zhang Xiaolin, which means "Tiger Howling Mountain Forest".
Subsequently, he applied for the Wubei Academy in Zhejiang, Hangzhou, and
strong
Zhang Zaiyang and others. Years of life in the city, so that he has long been unable to adapt to the many rules of the school, less than two years of study, he took the initiative to resign.
Zhang Xiaolin, who left the academy, quickly found Li Xiutang, the foreman of the Hangzhou Government Yamen, a fellow from Cixi who was also a native of Cixi, and was very happy to accept this person who could mix black and white. Zhang Xiaolin was also like a fish in the water, and soon became a hegemon of Gongchen Bridge. In 1912, Zhang Xiaolin became acquainted with Ji Yunqing, a big gangster in Shanghai.
Zhang Xiaolin then decided to go to Shanghai. Soon, he became acquainted with the businessman Huang Chujiu, and through Huang Chujiu's introduction, Fan Jincheng, a hooligan of the "big" generation of the Shanghai Youth Gang, became an old man and became a member of the "Tong" generation of the Green Gang.
Zhang Xiaolin, who had a foothold, with the advantage of "mixing in the rivers and lakes" for many years, quickly became a small leader of the party, and then met Du Yuesheng, who was also a small leader. Du Yuesheng was a member of the Qinggang "Wu" generation, a generation later than Zhang Xiaolin, but the two still got together to expand their territory. When Du Yuesheng fought with another gang and was beaten half to death lying on the street, Zhang Xiaolin carried Du Yuesheng home and healed Du Yuesheng at all costs. This made Du Yuesheng, who was very affectionate, very moved.
Du Yuesheng, who had lost his territory, defected to Jin Jinrong, the inspector of the French Concession Patrol House, who was famous at that time. Du Yuesheng's plot, coupled with Zhang Xiaolin's courage, soon the business in "yellow, gambling, and poison" became better and better. Jin Jinrong unknowingly injured the son of Lu Shixiang, the overseer of Shanghai, and Lu Shixiang arrested Jin Jinrong in a rage. Du Yuesheng and Zhang Xiaolin passed through former zhejiang wubei academy friends, the governor of Zhejiang Province
Zhang Zaiyang
He not only saved Jin Rong, but also became acquainted with a group of warlords and bureaucrats, colluded with each other, sold opium, and made huge profits. Therefore, Jin Jinrong and Zhang Xiaolin and Du Yuesheng worshiped brothers, and the "three tycoons" of Shanghai came together in this way. In 1920, the three of them jointly established the Sanxin Company, selling opium, forcing Liang into prostitution, and running amok.
In 1927, when the Communists launched a workers' uprising in Shanghai, Chiang Kai-shek decided to unite with the "three tycoons" to attack the Communists together. On April 12, Chiang Kai-shek launched the Qing Dynasty, and the "Three Tycoons" organized the "Chinese Communist Progressive Association" in Shanghai to work with Chiang Kai-shek to suppress the Communist Party and workers' leaders. This is the famous "April 12 Massacre" incident. As a result, the "three tycoons" changed from the business world to the political circles and were awarded the rank of major general of the General Headquarters of the National Revolutionary Army. In 1932, Zhang Xiaolin served as a supervisor of the Shanghai Huashang Gauze Exchange, purchased military supplies, and made a fortune for the country.
In the Battle of Songhu in 1937, Shanghai fell, and Chiang Kai-shek prepared to abandon Shanghai. In order to prevent the Green Gang from being used by the Japanese army, Chiang Kai-shek invited the "three tycoons" to go to Hong Kong together. But Zhang Xiaolin has his own calculations in mind, Du Yuesheng went to Hong Kong, and Jin Jinrong made it clear that he would not cooperate with Japan, Shanghai is a place where various forces are intertwined, and the Japanese will inevitably win over the gang leaders, which is a good opportunity for themselves to dominate the beach.
In November 1937, Shanghai fell, and Zhang Xiaolin and the commander of the Japanese Shanghai Dispatch Army
Matsui Ishine
Reach an agreement. After that, he vigorously suppressed the anti-Japanese rescue activities and hunted down patriots. In the name of the president of the "New Asia Peace Promotion Association," various localities also purchased grain, medicine, coal, and other supplies for the Japanese army, forcibly lowered prices, and even armed robbery. Subsequently, Chiang Kai-shek then issued a "hoe rape order" to Zhang Xiaolin, instructing Dai Kasa, director of the Military Command Bureau, to sanction Zhang Xiaolin. Dai Kasa was the governor of Shanghai District
Chen Gongshu
(shu) issued chiang kai-shek's instructions.
In order to be able to successfully carry out the assassination of Zhang Xiaolin, a special action team was set up and a detailed plan was formulated to find out the laws of Zhang Xiaolin's daily life. One day in 1938, on Zhang Xiaolin's way home, the action team carried out the first assassination. At the intersection where Zhang Xiaolin must pass, an ambush was made early, and as soon as Zhang Che arrived, he pulled the red light and shot a burst of Meng when Zhang Che stopped. Zhang Xiaolin's driver saw the situation, slammed on the accelerator, and sped past. Zhang Xiaolin's body is protected with steel plates, and the window glass is also bulletproof glass, although it was shot, it was not hindered, and the first assassination was not successful. On January 13, 1940, the action team launched a second assassination operation when Zhang Xiaolin went to the renewal stage box to watch the performance of the famous Peking Opera actor Xin Yanqiu. Before Zhang Xiaolin went out, he received a phone call and went to the Japanese, and his relative Yu Ye sealed as a substitute ghost, and the second assassination also failed.
After experiencing two assassinations, Zhang Xiaolin was even more cautious and did not come out behind closed doors. In addition to Zhang Xiaolin's own bodyguard, there were two Gendarmerie Japanese troops in the family for protection, and it was even more difficult to carry out assassinations.
On August 11, 1940, Zhang Xiaolin took over the letter of appointment as governor of Zhejiang Province in the Wang puppet government. On the 14th, Zhang Xiaolin received the director of the pseudo-Hangzhou Tin Foil Bureau at his home

time. The driver, Ah Si, was wiping the car in the courtyard, and a man ran over and said, "There are some private matters, please report to Mr. Zhang upstairs." Ah Si shook his head, "Sir, there are rules, and no one is allowed to disturb you when you are a guest." The man deliberately shouted, "Talking about how Mr. Zhang looks up to you doesn't seem to be different from me." The two argued, and Zhang Xiaolin, who was upstairs, couldn't help but lean over to the window and screamed, "What's the noise?" You turtle grandson, Lao Tzu called an Oriental soldier to come, and he didn't need you anymore. Ah Si, unload the gun of this turtle grandson and let him get out of the egg. The man then said, "There is no need to hurry, Lao Tzu will go by himself." He said, reaching for his waist and drawing his gun. Everyone thought that they really wanted to hand over the gun and leave, but unexpectedly, he raised his hand at Zhang Xiaolin and shot it, and the bullet hit Zhang Xiaolin's face door, and Zhang Xiaolin was killed on the spot. After shooting Zhang Xiaolin, the man was quickly arrested, and according to the interrogation, the man revealed that the reason why Zhang Xiaolin was killed was because the salary was too low to make a living. Is this really the case? A bodyguard shot and killed Zhang Xiaolin, a Green Gang tycoon who was on the beach at the time.
In this way, a prominent figure on the beach died at the hands of a "little minions", so who is this "little minions" who has such ability? This man is
Lin Huaibu
Lin Huaibu's father had been a regimental commander in the Beiyang Military Government Army, and then the family fell, so he came to Shanghai to break in. Lin Huaibu was extremely accurate in marksmanship and soon found a job in the patrol house of the French Concession. By chance, He Si, the driver of Zhang Xiaolin, became Zhang Xiaolin's bodyguard and was very appreciated by Zhang Xiaolin.
Not only that, Lin Huaibu also took Du Yuesheng's housekeeper
Van Merlin
It can also be regarded as one of Du Yuesheng's disciples. After all, Du Yuesheng and Dai Kasa were friends with eight worshippers, and coupled with national feelings, it was very normal to take a shot at Zhang Xiaolin, a "big traitor.".
