Chapter 227 A big gamble
When Gu Ruhu came to Jiangnan, he remembered Qin Di's reminder back then and came to the Demon City specifically.
When Qin Di saw him, he led him to a dock and said, "I have prepared 280 light machine guns, 30 heavy machine guns, and 50 cannons for you. You can fight this battle well! Don't lose my face!"
Gu Ruhu was ecstatic: "Where is the gun?"
"In the warehouse, someone will help load the ship later."
"Sir, where did you get so many guns?"
"I bought it for money! I almost lost everything for the sake of the War of Resistance!"
"Sir, you are amazing!"
"I have a gun, maybe I don't have enough bullets."
Gu Ruhu smiled and said, "Sir, I took the millions of oceans you gave me, and bought some ammunition before leaving Sichuan this time."
Qin Di said: "That's good. I have also customized a batch of bullets from abroad, and it will take two months to ship it."
After a while, Han Jiang came over with a few people, carried guns and ammunition from the warehouse, placed them on a cargo ship, and helped Gu Ruhu get away.
Seeing that 813 is getting closer and there is only one month left, Qin Di has to urge his family to leave the Demon City as soon as possible!
However, Zhu Wan and Qin Ling went to the school to call on students to retreat west, but were rejected by most students!
Young people are excited and others are fighting against the war. If you ask them to retreat, isn’t that playing the piano against a cow?
Moreover, 813 has not arrived yet, and the people of the Demon City always thought that the notice posted on the telephone poles was a rumor, so it is normal for these students to be unwilling to evacuate.
Finally, after some bitter persuasion by Zhu Wan and Qin Ling, only 20% of the students agreed to follow him.
Qin Di knew in his heart that there was no big problem with these students staying, because with the protection of the concession, the Japanese would not kill them as soon as they came up, but their mother Zhu Wan and sister Qin Ling would never stay!
So, on the morning of July 20, he personally escorted his father, mother, sister, uncle Zhu Zeduan, grandmother Liu Qing and other relatives, as well as more than 100 students, boarded the passenger ship, left the Magic City, and passed through Jinling before he returned.
As for her sister Qin Yue, she doesn’t want to leave yet!
Qin Yue said: "Brother, I have discussed with my husband. If the war is unfavorable, we will retreat southwest and may go to Kunming."
Qin Di nodded, just reminding her to bring her bodyguards when she goes out!
For this reason, he personally summoned the bodyguards, paid a sum in advance, and told them to protect people and buy each of them a house in the Demon City after the War of Resistance!
Houses in the Magic City are getting more and more expensive, and they are not something ordinary people can afford.
On July 28, the National Rescue Association of the Demon City Literature and Art Circles was established.
That night, accompanied by the great piano player Gu Rumei, Song Xianxue Xiangwan took the stage to sing five songs. The audience in the audience was so excited that they let out a shocking roar: "Anti-Japanese War, Anti-Japanese War, fight to the death!"
That night, the Art Association raised 4.3 million yuan to help the fleeing people, and some to organize drama troupes to carry out wider publicity.
On July 29, Beijing and Tianjin fell.
On August 4, Commander-in-Chief Zhu and Vice Chairman Zhou went to Jinling to attend the national defense conference.
On August 9, Japanese Marine Lieutenant Yuo Oyama led a soldier Saito to hide and drove a military car to attack Hongqiao Airport, but was shot dead by the airport guards on the spot.
On August 12, the Supreme National Defense Conference was established, and Mr. Qing was appointed as the Grand Marshal of the Three Armed Forces.
On August 13, the Japanese army launched a large-scale attack on the Magic City based on the concession and the Japanese ships anchored in the Huangpu River. The Chinese garrison fought back and, with the support of the people of the whole country, began a three-month battle.
A total of about 1 million troops from both China and Japan were put into battle.

It can be said that Mr. Qingbai Dangqing really fought hard to fight this battle and took out all his assets!
The Republic of China was established in 1912 to August 1937. After so many years of hard work, we finally accumulated these troops. Except for the troops left behind in various places, most of them were brought up!
Japan has increased its troops three times, with a total of more than 300,000 troops.
The first large-scale increase in troops was added on August 14, with the first batch of troops being organized into the Demon Capital Expeditionary Army. Commander General Matsui Ishione and Chief of Staff Major General Iinuma; 3rd Division, Lieutenant General Fujita; 11th Division, Lieutenant General Yamamori-sumu; 6th Independent Flight Squadron.
Japan's second large-scale troops were added, and 10 infantry brigades, 3 artillery brigades, 2 engineering brigades, and Teng Detachment (5 infantry brigades, 1 mountain artillery brigade); 9th Division; 13th Division; 101st Division; 5th Field Heavy Artillery Brigade.

In addition to five of the 3rd Fleet, the Japanese 1st Fleet and the 3rd Fleet were named in the Wusongkou. In addition to five of the 3rd Fleet, Yuryu, Bailu, Sunset, Youming, Chushuang, Kori, Wakaya, and Chushu, the new first-class destroyers were anchored near Songhu as early as August 10. On August 11, 16 warships of the Sasebo 2nd Fleet arrived. The Japanese Navy used Kaga, Ryuka and other aircraft carriers to support the Japanese fleet of aircraft operations on Sheshan Island outside the estuary of the Yangtze River.
It can be said that Japan has also devoted most of its national strength to make a big bet near the Magic City.
