Suzhou, Shanghai Command Army.

Matsui Shigen pushed open the window, and the cold north wind poured in from the window in an instant, and was agitated by the cold wind, and the old devil suddenly became conscious, and the discomfort caused by a night of hangover disappeared in an instant.

Inside the house, Tsukada Tsukashi and Mamoru Iinuma, who fell to the ground, were also awakened by the cold wind.

The two old devils hurriedly put on their coats, and then stood by Matsui Ishone's side one left and one right!

Matsui Shigen was far away in the eastern sky, lifted the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and said faintly: "It's dawn!" ”

"Hello!" Tsukada was stunned and said leisurely, "It's dawn, the 9th Division, the 16th Division, and the 6th Division of the Tenth Army sent by Shanghai should enter the city and sweep it!" ”

Iinuma Mamoru also said: "There may still be sporadic stubborn resistance in the city of Nanjing, but these sporadic resistance can no longer set off too much storm!" ”

After a pause, Mamoru Iinuma said again: "At most, at noon, Nanjing will be the territory of the imperial army!" ”

Tsukada then said: "Then, the Shina government should surrender, and we can return home!" ”

Matsui Shigen asked noncommittally: "Did the more than 100,000 troops who gathered at the Shimonoseki Wharf last night cross the river?" ”

"Nope!" Tsukada shook his head and said, "Since there are only a small number of ferries at the Xiaguan Wharf, and most of them are driven away by the senior generals of the Chinese Army, the more than 100,000 troops stranded at the wharf have not been able to cross the river, and the 16th Division reports that around two o'clock in the morning, these hundreds of thousands of the Na Army returned to Nanjing. ”

"Nani?" Matsui Shigen was surprised, "The Chinese army actually returned to Nanjing City?" ”

"Hello!" Mamoru Iinuma said, "It must be that the letter of persuasion written by His Excellency the Commander himself has taken effect, and these Shina troops really believe that the Imperial Army will really keep its promise!" ”

"Yaga!" Matsui Ishine reprimanded, "Of course the Imperial Japanese Army will keep its promise!" But whether these Chinese armies have really given up resistance and are not hostile to the imperial army still needs to be screened! ”

"Hello! Misdemeanor and inappropriate speech, please punish Your Excellency Commander! "Iinuma Morido.

"Forget it." Matsui Shigen snorted and said, "Order, the 9th Division, the 16th Division, and the 6th Division should not be careless, do not send a large army into the city immediately, but send a small army into the city first, ensure safety and then send a large army into the city to sweep away the remnants of the enemy!" to avoid unnecessary casualties as much as possible! ”

"Hello!" Mamoru Iinuma and Tsukada attacked at the same time.

……

Wuhan Luojia Mountain, listen to Songlu.

Although he has left Nanjing, Chairman Jiang has not changed the habit of getting up early that he has cultivated for many years, and today he still got up early before dawn and walked along the tree-lined trail outside Tingsonglu.

When Chairman Jiang walked to the eastern foot of Luojia Mountain with a civilization cane, the eastern sky just revealed a trace of fish belly white.

Looking at the morning light in the east, Chairman Jiang said faintly to the accompanying confidants: "It's dawn." ”

Zheng Jiemin, Chen Bui, Qian Dajun, Wang Shihe and other cronies who accompanied him were all silent, and no one dared to answer.

After a moment of silence, Chairman Jiang said faintly: "I don't know, what happened to the hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the National Army who were trapped on the dock in Xiaguan?" ”

Chen Bui whispered: "Back to the commission, Hu Zongnan called and said that when the 1st Army withdrew from Pukou at about two o'clock in the morning, the Xiaguan wharf across the river was empty!" ”

"The docks are empty?" Chairman Jiang said, "Where have the people gone?" ”

Zheng Jiemin continued: "According to the information provided by the spies lurking in the international security zone, these more than 100,000 soldiers of the national army have returned to Nanjing and have all taken refuge in the international security zone advocated by the German Rabe!" ”

"They hid in the International Safety Zone?" Chairman Jiang said, "Isn't the security zone not allowed to bring weapons in?" ”

"This ......" Zheng Jiemin looked embarrassed, and said, "According to the information provided by the spies, the officers and men of the national army who entered the international security zone have all laid down their weapons in accordance with the requirements of the security zone!" ”

"What, they're all disarmed?" Commissar Jiang said angrily, "Niang Xipi, it's unreasonable! ”

Zheng Jiemin, Chen Bui, Qian Dajun and others were all silent, but they thought in their hearts, is this very unexpected? Ever since you gave the order to retreat, you should have thought that there would be today, didn't you?

It took a long time for Chairman Jiang to stop his anger, and he sighed and said, "If I had known, I shouldn't have ordered a retreat!" ”

In the second half of the sentence, Chairman Jiang finally didn't say it directly, he wanted to say that instead of letting these hundreds of thousands of elites be disarmed by the Japanese as prisoners, it was better to let them die on the battlefield directly! In this way, even if these hundreds of thousands of national troops fight for one, they can at least fight out more than 10,000 Japanese devils!

Unlike now, the Japanese can take Nanjing without bragging!

At this moment, Chairman Jiang really regretted even his intestines!

……

At the same time, Tokyo Bay.

Because they had to return to the United States to report on their work, yesterday US Ambassador to China Jensen and US Military Attache to China Stilwell left Shanghai aboard the US Navy cruiser USS Arizona, and sailed into Tokyo Bay at sunrise.

Looking at the magnificent scene of the sunrise over the sea, Jensen couldn't help but say, "It's dawn, this scenery is really beautiful!" ”

"yes, it's dawn!" Stilwell was thinking about the Battle of Nanjing, and then said, "The Battle of Nanjing City should also usher in the final moment!" ”

Jensen shrugged and said, "Joseph, are you still bothered by this?" ”

"Of course!" Stilwell said with a wry smile, "Before the Battle of Nanjing began, I did a war game with my colleagues in the embassy, and according to our deduction, the best result of the Battle of Nanjing was a draw, and Japan was forced to negotiate peace, and the worst result was the loss of Nanjing, and the Japanese army also suffered heavy losses!" ”

After a pause, Stilwell continued, "However, we still underestimate the ability of peanuts!" ”

"Stop, Joseph, stop!" Jensen quickly stopped, "This is not what we should ask!" ”

"Yes, as an American, I really shouldn't be involved in the war between China and Japan." Stilwell nodded, and said, "I'm just sorry for the hundreds of thousands of national troops!" ”

Jensen said: "The hundreds of thousands of national troops are indeed regrettable. ”

"But the battle isn't over yet!" Stilwell suddenly changed his words and said, "Nelson, don't forget, there is another army active on the outskirts of Nanjing!" ”

Jensen said: "You mean, Zhong Yi's 367th regiment? ”

Shaking his head, Jensen said again: "Joseph, don't be joking, more than 100,000 national troops can't do it, what can a mere regiment do?" What's more, this regiment is still a hundred miles away, and the battle of Nanjing is already over! ”

"Really? I don't think so. ”
