Soon after, Qin Lin was promoted to major general of 511 brigade of the 171st division and was ordered to go to the front line in Shanghai. In his letter to me, brother Qin Yan said, "it's very cruel to bully him in mainland China. My younger brother was ordered to go north to kill the enemy. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our soldiers. I hope that my brother can maintain the family affairs in the future, and my brother should try his best to do it. " General Qin Lin and his troops set out from Lianyungang on October 16 and arrived at the front line of Shanghai via Xuzhou and Nanjing. At this time, the battle of Songhu battle was extremely fierce, and both sides fought desperately. Hundreds of thousands of troops of both sides were put into the battle of Songhu, with serious casualties.

On October 23, supported and covered by superior firepower and equipment, the Japanese army launched an attack on our army with the advantages of plane bombing, ground artillery and armored vehicles.

Under the influence of general Qin Lin's leadership, our soldiers doubled their courage and fought to the death. Under the fierce fire of the enemy, they would rather die than retreat. They fought back the enemy's attacks again and again, and their positions were not lost under the tenacious fighting of our soldiers. However, shortly after, the friendly positions on the left and right wings of general Qin Lin's troops were attacked by the enemy. At 3 pm, the enemy took advantage of the situation to attack our army. General Qin Lin knew that the war situation was critical, so he sent his troops to support and make up for the gap, so as to prevent the enemy from breaking through our army's positions and defense lines. Unexpectedly, our army encountered a large number of enemy troops and chariot troops on the March. The encounter immediately started, and our army immediately went into battle. However, there was still a huge gap in equipment and firepower, which made our army gradually lose the edge, failed to consolidate the front as expected, and closed the gap. At this time, the situation was extremely critical. General Qin Lin's main position was attacked by the enemy on both sides. General Qin Lin knew that the situation was dangerous, but he went to the front line to supervise the division and led the soldiers to fight with the enemy. Under the advantageous situation, the enemy launched a frenzied attack, and the enemy swarmed to our army. General Qin Lin was not afraid. With a wave of his arm and a cry, he led our soldiers to rush into the enemy group and launched a fierce close combat with the enemy. Seeing that the officer was so desperate and brave, all of them were infected by the general and fought with all their strength. They were unwilling to lag behind. With a strong belief in fighting the enemy to the end, they fought with the enemy to the death. The enemy has an advantage in equipment and firepower. Although our army's equipment lags behind the enemy, our officers and men's indomitable fighting spirit is still fighting with the enemy. In the fierce battle, general Qin Lin rushed from left to right and fought bravely.
