I have some questions about the Battle of Shanghai or more specifically the Battle for Luodian that took place during the Battle of Shanghai. This was during the Second Sino-Japanese war.

I used Google Translate to read this website

http://blog.sina.com.cn/s/blog_bed56c720102v3k2.html

8月26日上午7时，敌人两个联队对罗店再次发动攻击 = At 7 a.m. on August 26, the two enemy teams launched an attack on Luodian again.

到了9月4日，蒋介石大发雷霆，给他们冷冷地甩下一句话：“今天如果夺不回罗店，师以上军官统统就地处决！” = On September 4th, Chiang Kai-shek was furious and gave them a cold rejection: "If you can't return to Luodian today, you will be executed on the spot!"

I find the dates confusing cause this site https://ww2db.com/battle_spec.php?battle_id=85h states that the Battle for Luodian only took place between 11 to 15 September 1937 and not on August 26 or September 4th . Can anyone help clear up the confusion?

Between September 11th & 15th 1937 seems about right as it came at about the midpoint of the battle of Shanghai.
