After Huang Haoran moved out of the highest authority, Tang Shengzhi finally agreed to meet Matsui Shigen at the sentry line on Jurong Road on Zhongshan Road at noon, but he asked Huang Haoran to send heavy troops to protect him, looking at Tang Shengzhi's shimmering eyes, Huang Haoran nodded and agreed to this request.

On December 11th, the citizens of Nanjing City spent a quiet morning, after three or five brave citizens walked out of their homes, more and more citizens poured out from various places, they really need to come out to buy some food and daily necessities, the bombardment of the days made their hoarding materials almost exhausted, now the shops in Nanjing City can no longer buy anything, the citizens who need materials can only rush to the black market, a large number of unscrupulous businessmen take the opportunity to make a fortune, The price of daily necessities has quadrupled compared to November, Huang Haoran, who couldn't bear it, decisively sent a military police regiment to arrest a group of black-hearted businessmen, but the soaring prices in the city could not be controlled, Fan Jie quietly told Huang Haoran that the gendarmes he sent handed over less than thirty percent of the actual number after confiscating the materials of the black-hearted businessmen, and the rest flowed into the black market at a higher price, and now several gendarmerie regiment leaders have become big bosses who monopolize the black market. The atmosphere of the Central Army has long been corrupted to the extreme, unless Huang Haoran sends his own 99th Division to everything, otherwise it will always get worse and worse, and in order not to affect the unity of the Nanjing Garrison, it is best to turn a blind eye.

Huang Haoran suddenly felt that he was a little envious of Matsui Shigen, this old devil only needs to fight a good war, but he needs to deal with the Japanese army on the one hand, and his own people inside on the other, from the highest authority to the small head of the military police regiment, there is no one who can make him worry. There are also those Nanjing citizens, after Huang Haoran repeatedly expressed and hinted at the brutality of the Japanese army, there are still many people in the city who are unwilling to leave, "people leave their hometowns and are cheap", this concept has penetrated into the bone marrow of the Chinese, in their opinion, the risk of leaving their homeland and fleeing to the southwest is not lower than the risk of staying in Nanjing, so they are not willing to leave.

When the Japanese army approached Nanjing, for the safety of the residents of Nanjing, the foreigners in Nanjing decided to set up an international relief organization according to the precedent of the Shanghai refugee area, named the "International Committee of the Nanjing Safety Zone", so that in the most critical time, the refugees who had not been evacuated would have a place to take refuge and avoid the bombing of the Japanese army. The committee elected John Siemens of Germany. Mr. Rabe is the chairman, Mr. Smyth, a professor at Jinling University, is the secretary, Mr. Hang Liwu is the director-general, and Mr. Feiqi, an American, is the deputy director-general. Soon after, Mr. Hang Liwu was ordered to escort the antiquities of Chaotian Palace to the west and leave Nanjing, and the post of Director General was replaced by Mr. Bates, a professor of history at Jinling University. In addition to the International Committee, there is also a "Nanjing Committee of the International Red Cross" that works closely with it, and the chairman of the committee is the American John Brown. Pastor Magee.

The security zone, also known as the "refugee zone", is centered on the seat of the U.S. Embassy and church schools such as Jinling University, covering an area of about 3.86 square kilometers and bounded on all sides, with Hanzhong Road to the south, Zhongshan Road to the east, Shanxi Road and its north to the north, and Xikang Road to the west. There are 25 refugee shelters in the boundary, including the Ministry of Communications Building, the Overseas Chinese Guest House, the Jinling Women's College of Arts and Sciences, the Supreme Court, and Jinling University. The vast majority of the refugees were Nanjing citizens and refugees who had fled from other places, as well as a small number of soldiers who laid down their arms and blended in with the refugees. Huang Haoran sent someone to count the number of refugees in the security zone, and conservatively estimated that more than 200,000 refugees were sheltered and protected in 25 refugee shelters.

Huang Haoran's mind is very complicated in the face of the idea of "safe zone", the appearance of the "safe zone" is very attractive to the citizens in the city, the temptation of these foreigners has greatly affected Huang Haoran's plan to evacuate civilians, what kind of things the Japanese will do in Nanjing Huang Haoran is very clear, the history in his mind constantly reminds him to find a way to evacuate the more than 200,000 civilians gathered in the security zone, but Huang Haoran sent to these security zones The batch of officers always returned in vain. In the eyes of these civilians, the great benevolent people of these great powers and countries have a different halo, and they should be able to save their lives, and now the number of civilians fleeing into the "safe zone" is increasing every day, coupled with more than 200,000 left-behind people scattered throughout the city of Nanjing, Huang Haoran suddenly found that after he exhausted all means, there were more than 500,000 civilians in Nanjing.

This is far beyond Huang Haoran's expectations! If this continues, then the tragedy of the Nanjing Massacre will be inevitable!

Huang Haoran had to quietly give Xu Xinghua a secret order, the focus of the secret service was immediately like the evacuation of civilians, the river crossing route has now been opened, no matter what means Xu Xinghua uses, even if he stabs with a bayonet, he has to drive at least 30,000 people across the river every day, Fan Jie silently calculated in his heart, if the civilians are transferred at this speed, the Nanjing garrison will hold out in Nanjing for at least half a month, it seems that Huang Haoran is planning to take a bath in the oil pot in Nanjing!

*************************************************

Matsui Ishone's plane jumped and landed at the temporary airfield in Jurong, where the division headquarters of the 9th Division was located, and the commander of the 9th Division, Lieutenant General Yoshika Ryosuke, and his chief of staff, Nakagawa Kosa, had been waiting by the runway of the airport for a long time, according to Matsui Ishone's orders, the vanguard of the 6th Division had contracted their front, and the Tangshan town area had completely fallen into the hands of the 9th Division, but Tangshan was still in the hands of the Nanjing garrison, but the forward of the 3rd Division of Lieutenant General Fujita Shin had bypassed Tangshan and advanced to the vicinity of Kirin TownZhongshan was already in sight, the Japanese troops on the middle and right had formed a posture of advancing to Nanjing, and the battle was advancing towards the belly position of the Nanjing garrison.

If it weren't for the continuous defeats of the 10th Army in Jiangning, and now that the Central China Front has completed a huge encirclement, the 200,000 Chinese troops in Nanjing City can only be captured, how can the commander of the Ji Jialiang Auxiliary Division not understand that Suematsu Shigeji would actually lose almost the entire 114th Division, judging from the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army that the 9th Division is currently encountering, the commander of the Ji Jialiang Auxiliary Division does not think that the Nanjing Garrison has this ability!

When the commander of the Jijialiang auxiliary division was thinking about things, Matsui Ishine had already gotten off the plane, and the head of the Jijialiang auxiliary division and the chief of staff Nakagawa Kosa hurriedly greeted him, and Matsui Shigen was their old commander, so he couldn't be lazy.

Matsui Ishine was obviously very satisfied with the arrangements of the 9th Division, and he nodded happily to the commander of the auxiliary division of Ji Jialiang, and then began to ask him if everything he wanted the 9th Division to do had been arranged.

"Your Excellency, Commander, please rest assured! 20 first-class shooters and a brigade of heavy artillery, as long as the commander gives an order, the negotiation area will be a sea of fire, and Huang Haoran will definitely not leave alive! ”

Matsui Ishine nodded with satisfaction again, he liked subordinates like the commander of the Jigara Auxiliary Division, and he carried out the orders of the boss without any discount, which is why Matsui Ishine handed over the task to the 9th Division and not to the 3rd Division, which was closer to the negotiation location.

If Shigeharu Suematsu and Sotake Yamamuro could follow the rules like Ryosuke Yoshika, how could the 11th Division and the 114th Division pay such a heavy price!

Matsui Ishine looked up at the sky, it was not early, and it was time for him to go to the negotiator's place, so he took the head of the auxiliary division of Yoshigara and the chief of staff of Nakagawa Hiroshi into the car on the side of the runway.

At 10 o'clock in the morning of the 11th, a few tables and chairs had been placed at a distance from the trenches of the Chinese and Japanese armies on the Jurong Road sentry line on Zhongshan Road, and flowers and tea bowls were placed on the green velvet tablecloth. Although they don't know if their senior commander will show up, these preparations still need to be done.

Matsui Ishine held a telescope in the trenches of the 3rd Division to look at the movement of the Nanjing garrison position opposite, it seems that Huang Haoran has no plans to show up, the pre-arranged shooter has just reported to the commander of the Jijialiang Auxiliary Division that the Chinese seem to have arranged snipers, the number is no less than that of the 9th Division, the commander of the 3rd Division, Lieutenant General Fujita Susumu has a lot of emotions about Matsui Ishine letting the 9th Division perform tasks on his front, which seems to him almost an insult to him Fujita Susumu and the 3rd Division, Since the location of the negotiation should be carried out by the 3rd Division on the front of the 3rd Division, Commander Matsui obviously did not trust him!

Seeing Matsui Ishine and Ryosuke Yoshika completely ignoring their constant exchange of opinions, Fujita's fire grew bigger and bigger, and he finally couldn't help but open his mouth:

"Your Excellency Commander, Commander of the Jijia Division, it seems that Huang Haoran has broken your plan, this farce should be stopped quickly, if you want to get Nanjing, you can only rely on artillery and bayonets! These tricks should not be of concern to us soldiers! ”

Matsui Ishone sensed Fujita's dissatisfaction, but he wouldn't change his mind, Matsui Ishone didn't even put down the binoculars, and he didn't even give Fujita an answer!

This is nothing less than adding fuel to the fire!

Ryosuke Kiga stood up in time, and he explained to Fujita Jin: "Commander of the Fujita Division, you don't understand the intention of His Excellency the Commander, the Chinese have a saying that attacking the city is the bottom, attacking the heart is the top, this is done to hit the morale of the Nanjing garrison, if Huang Haoran appears, it will be better, we can avenge the 114th Division!" It's a two-pronged strategy! ”

"It's coming! Ji Jiajun! Fujita-kun! Let's see how bold Huang Haoran is, whether he is ignorant or cowardly, it will be us who wins this round! ”

In the field of vision of the telescope, several Chinese officers walked towards the negotiation table with document bags and briefcases, seeing that there were no senior officers among these ranks, Matsui Ishine waved his hand at Yoshika Ryosuke, and Yoshika Ryosuke immediately understood and patted a Nakasa with a few officers and walked over.

A white-faced officer who walked in the front sat at the negotiating table, with a cucumber in his hand, and several other Chinese officers began another round of careful inspection, and the Chinese officer who sat down kept pointing and pointing, and said loudly: "Show me carefully, the little devil has no credit!" Be careful they play yin! ”

Fujita Nakasa, who was sent by Yoshigara Ryosuke, is very proficient in Chinese, and of course these words of the white-faced officer have all entered his ears, Fujita Nakasa is very dissatisfied with the arrogant attitude of the Chinese, if it were not for the special explanation of the head of the Jijia Ryosuke Division not to make the atmosphere stiff, Fujita Nakasa really wants to give this rampant Chinese a shot!

"Please be careful with your words, this is a very important meeting, maybe today will decide the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in your Nanjing City, but don't be a child's play!"

Fujita Nakasa suppressed his anger and said with a smile to the white-faced officer sitting opposite, I don't know how the Nanjing garrison is managed internally, and the people sent don't even wear military ranks, so Fujita Nakasa doesn't know what to call each other.

"Hey! Brat! You're just a lieutenant, and my rank is higher than yours! You should salute when you see a commander like me! You little devils really don't have a tutor! ”

The white-faced officer was still not in the right shape at all, and the Chinese personnel in charge of the inspection had already finished checking the table and began to check the bottom of the table, and the Japanese officer behind Fujita Nakasa was afraid that the Nanjing garrison would do something under the table, so he quickly lifted the tablecloth and stared.

The white-faced officer smiled, took a bite of the cucumber in his hand, and then said to Fujita Nakasa with the gap in the cucumber: "At a glance, you know that you are setting up a Hongmen banquet, and no one believes anyone, I see, even if you talk today, it will be in vain!" ”

"Please, you'd better not be in such a hurry to comment? What about the commander of your army? When will it arrive? Fujita Nakasa decided to change the subject, otherwise he would be about to lose control of his emotions, and the white-faced officer's mouth was too bad.

"Don't just worry about our chief? What about yours? It's the one called Song... Loose old devil! ”

Fujita Nakasa slapped the table, he obviously didn't think that the white-faced officer in front of him had really forgotten the name of Commander Matsui Ishone, Fujita Nakasa stood up angrily and shouted loudly: "Is this your negotiating attitude?" ”

"If you don't talk about it, you don't talk about it! Don't forget that you are begging me to talk about it! We're here today to tell you to stop dreaming! And remember not to throw waste paper all over the city next time! It's a hassle to clean! ”

The white-faced officer's answer was very tough, Fujita Nakasa had no way to take this opponent at all, and it was the first time he had met such a capable opponent at the negotiating table!

"Alright! This Chinese chief! Let's put an end to this pointless conversation! If the senior commander of your army is willing to continue this meeting, please give us a specific time, and we can go back and make arrangements! ”

"Arrange what? Arrange for someone to shoot black guns? Don't worry... Isn't it just a few words of truth! Gotta ...... Tell Matsui Ishine that we, Commander Tang, decided to start negotiations at 12 o'clock! There are five people on each side, and we have already selected them, and these are the people who are checking, I don't know how you will arrange them! ”

The white-faced officer finally said something useful after stimulating Fujita Nakasa a few more times, but Fujita Nakasa was anxious when he heard it, and he hurriedly asked:

"What? Commander Tang? Isn't your negotiator General Huang Haoran? ”

"Mr. Zhongzuo, don't make a mistake, our government has appointed General Tang Shengzhi as the commander of the Nanjing garrison, and the representative who came to negotiate with you is, of course, Commander Tang!"

Fujita Nakasa didn't expect such a big mistake, and the person who came to negotiate was actually Tang Shengzhi? Huang Haoran is not coming? How to deal with this unexpected situation, Commander Matsui Ishine has not explained! Fujita Nakasa could only get up and take his leave, telling the white-faced officer that he needed to convey the decision of the Nanjing garrison to Commander Matsui Ishine.

"Wait! Mr. Nakasa, please stay! Didn't you just say that this was an important negotiation, but unfortunately I didn't make it to the list of participants, but I don't want no one to know about my existence, so I think so, why don't you ask Mr. Nakasa to take a photo with me, it's a souvenir! Cameras, we're all set! ”

Fujita Nakasa felt that this white-faced officer was boring enough, and such a serious occasion was actually as high as if he was here for sightseeing, could it be that the officers of the Nanjing Garrison who made Commander Matsui Ishine eggs were all so virtuous?

"Come, come, come! Laugh one! Eggplant! The white-faced Chinese officer couldn't help but pull Fujita Nakasa to the camera, Fujita Nakasa didn't notice when the Chinese officer next to him had touched such a huge guy.

The spotlight flashed, and after a few fears, Fujita Nakasa left, and the very unmarked white-faced officer also returned to the defense line of the Nanjing garrison with excess personnel, and Fujita Nakasa returned to the trenches of the 3rd Division and immediately reported to Matsui Ishine the bad news that Huang Haoran would not appear.

"Tang Shengzhi? What do we want this old guy's life for? Keeping him can still add a little chaos to Huang Haoran, our people lurking in the Nanjing government said that the relationship between Tang Shengzhi and Huang Haoran is very unharmonious, could it be that Huang Haoran wants to kill people with a knife? Ryosuke Yoshika immediately made such a judgment based on Fujita Nakasa's report.

Matsui Shigen was also extremely disappointed with such a change, and now there is no point in having this meeting again, maybe Huang Haoran really plans to exchange Tang Shengzhi's waste for his Matsui Shigen's life, which is too cost-effective!

"If Huang Haoran doesn't appear, then we also have to change our plan, cancel the negotiations, at one o'clock in the afternoon, attack on all fronts, with this 12-hour buffer, the 101st Division should arrive in Lishui, the strength of the 10th Army will soon be restored, Nanjing, can only be conquered with bayonets!"

"Hay!" The Japanese generals in the trenches replied in unison, they finally knew the third intention of Matsui Ishine to hold this negotiation, it turned out that Matsui Ishine used the 12-hour armistice period to secretly move the 101st Division stationed in Shanghai to the Nanjing battlefield, since Matsui Ishine dared to turn Shanghai into an empty city, it seems that Tokyo's reinforcements will soon arrive!

After the white-faced officer returned to the defense line of the 66th Army, he immediately entered a permanent fortification, which included the dumbfounded Tang Shengzhi and the nervous sweaty Wang Huanzhi, the white-faced officer who ridiculed Fujita Nakasachiban at the negotiation table was none other than Huang Haoran, deputy commander of the Nanjing Urban Defense Command! Huang Haoran didn't lie to Fujita Nakasa, his military rank is indeed a lot higher than Fujita Nakasa!
