Du Yuesheng is definitely the most prestigious one in the gang during the Republic of China period. Although he was born in a gang, during the War of Resistance Against Japan, Du Yuesheng also did a lot of things that were beneficial to the War of Resistance, which cannot be forgotten.
Let's just say a few things!
In 1936, the China Aviation Association was established in Shanghai, Du Yuesheng was one of the directors, on January 14, after launching the "128" aviation national salvation movement, Du Yuesheng personally practiced, in his personal capacity, donated two planes. In the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Movement, he used all the companies under his command to advocate the use of domestic goods by the Chinese people and participate in the War of Resistance Against Japan by economic means.
Du Yuesheng also directly participated in some military operations, and soon after the august 13Rd War of Resistance, Dai Kasa came to Shanghai and, together with Du Yuesheng, used the gang organization to set up the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Action Committee, of which three of the five special operations detachments, all of whom were Du Yuesheng's protégés.
On November 10, the Japanese army landed in Pudong, and the Einsatzgruppen blocked the Japanese army in Nanshi and the outskirts of Shanghai, and then they were outnumbered, and some of them withdrew to the French Concession in Shanghai, and some left Shanghai, reorganizing the pseudo-loyal National Salvation Army and continuing to participate in the battle.
Shortly after the fall of Shanghai, Chiang Kai-shek ordered the blockade of the Yangtze River in order to prevent the Japanese army from attacking Jiangxi on a large scale. It was Du Yuesheng again, taking into account the overall situation, who took the lead in ordering him to reach the steamship company and drive several steamships to the surface of the river to sink. Under the leadership of Du Yuesheng, other steamship companies responded one after another, greatly delaying the Japanese attack.
If some of the above things can be done with some money, the following things can show Du Yuesheng's patriotic heart and the atmosphere of the gang leader.
The Battle of Shanghai, the most heart-wrenching battle, is definitely the deeds of Xie Jinyuan leading the 19th Route Army to block the Japanese army at the Sihang Warehouse. At that time, a river separated two heavens, the south bank of the Suzhou River was an Anglo-French-American lease, a piece of peace, and the north bank of the Suzhou River was a Sino-Japanese battlefield, tragic Yichang.
While the Nineteenth Route Army stubbornly resisted, the Japanese army sent about 1,000 troops to sneak into the French Concession. It can be said that this move poses a serious threat to the back of the Nineteenth Route Army.
When the Chinese Foreign Ministry learned of this, it immediately intervened and protested to the Anglo-American and French Concessions, but it was ignored. The Chinese defenders were also very angry at the act of shielding the Japanese army by lending, and in a confrontation, they directly fired artillery at the Japanese troops in the concession.
At this time, Britain, the United States and France leased consulates and protested to China.
Just when the two sides were arguing endlessly, Du Yuesheng learned the news and found out the movements of the thousands of Japanese troops. They hid in the shops opened by Japanese expatriates in the French Concession, looking for opportunities, from the French Concession, rushing into the Huxi Temple line and sneaking into the right wing of the Chinese army.
When the Chinese side negotiated with the anglo-American and French consuls, Du Yuesheng, as the head of the Chinese on loan, also participated in the meeting.
In the face of the Japanese representative, Du Yuesheng said directly: The Japanese army can enter the concession and use the concession to fight Chinese, although you have passed this proposal. However, there is a sentence I want to say ahead, although the Japanese army drove in, other foreign friends should not leave, I Du Yuesheng made a vow here, in less than 2 hours, I will destroy the concession completely, we will die here together.
After saying that, he left the venue directly.
A group of people were stunned, and they knew very well in their hearts that Du Yuesheng's power in Shanghai and the destruction of the concession were not arrogant words.
Soon, the Japanese troops who had infiltrated the French Concession quietly retreated.
As we said above, Du Yuesheng and Dai Kasa set up an extraordinary detachment, and after the failure of the Japanese army, some of them retreated to the concession, but they were not idle, and the main work was to "eliminate spies and assassinate traitors."
In 1940, Zhang Xiaolin was killed, although it was the hand of the military commander, but Du Yuesheng and his gang made a great effort.
Fu Xiao'an, the pseudo-mayor of Shanghai, after becoming a traitor, panicked all day long, surrounded by dozens of bodyguards, did not expect to sleep, died under the kitchen knife of the cook, it turned out that the cook had long joined the Green Gang.
In 1939, Chen Zhenyuan, the foreign minister of the puppet government, wanted to spend the Spring Festival in Shanghai, but as soon as he arrived home, he was shot and killed by a strong man.
These are all typical examples, and the other small details are too numerous to count.
The history of the Shanghai Youth Gang War of Resistance, many people will question. However, the editor believes that there is nothing to question, donating money and materials to support the front, organizing the army to resist the Japanese army, using prestige to assist the defenders, using jianghu means to eradicate traitors, this is the anti-Japanese resistance.
The cruelty of war, victory is everything, the means are really not so important!
