On December 10, seeing that the Chinese troops defending the city refused to surrender, the Japanese army immediately mobilized heavy troops to launch a full-scale attack on Yuhuatai, Tongjimen, Guanghuamen, and the third peak of Purple Mountain, and the battle was more fierce than on the 9th. In particular, in the southeast of Nanjing, the situation was particularly grim because the re-established positions had been basically lost and the Japanese army directly attacked the city walls. The garrison headquarters urgently ordered the 156th Division of the 83rd Army to reinforce the garrison of Guanghuamen and Tongjimen city walls, and hurriedly built preparatory fortifications for street battles at various points in the city.

The 103rd and 112th Divisions, which had just been withdrawn from Zhenjiang into Nanjing, were commanded by Gui Yongqing, the commander of the Teaching Corps, and were responsible for the garrison of the city wall near Zhongshan Gate and the Purple Mountain position. That night, the 156th Division sent a small detachment to fall down the city and annihilated all the few Japanese troops lurking in the city gate. On the Yuhuatai side, the main forces of the two divisions of the Japanese army coordinated with the infantry, artillery, tanks and aviation to attack, destroying all the first-line positions on the right flank of the 88th Division of the Nationalist Army, and the remnants could only retreat to the second-line positions.

That night, the Japanese 18th Division occupied Wuhu, and on the 11th, the Japanese 16th Division stormed the positions of the Chinese army north and south of the Purple Mountain. Purple Mountain and the area south of it, the teaching corps resolutely resisted. After a fierce battle, the Japanese army made no progress, but its right flank troops captured the positions of Yangfang Mountain and Yinkong Mountain defended by the 2nd Army Corps, and advanced to the vicinity of Yaohua Gate. In order to make it easy for the 16th Division to attack and cut off the defenders' eastward retreat in a timely manner, the "Shanghai Dispatch Army" transferred the Yamada detachment from the 13th Division, which was waiting for ships to cross the river in Zhenjiang, and joined the battle from the right flank of the 16th Division to attack the Wulongshan and Shogunate Mountain forts.

The main forces of the 114th Division and the 6th Division of the Japanese 10th Army continued to attack Yuhuatai. The second line of positions of the 88th Division was again destroyed, and the defenders were forced to hold on to the core positions. The right flank of the Japanese 114th Division began to attack the Zhonghua Gate, and the city gate was destroyed by artillery fire. A small number of Japanese troops once broke into the city, but were annihilated by the troops of the 88th Division defending the city walls. A part of the left flank of the Japanese 6th Division advanced north along the east bank of the Yangtze River, repelled a battalion of the 2nd Military Police Teaching Regiment at Shangxinhe, and occupied the cotton embankment position outside the Shuixi Gate. The Japanese Kunizaki detachment crossed the Yangtze River near Cihu Lake in Dangtu Bei, marched north along the west bank, and moved towards Pukou. The 18th Division of the Japanese Army, which occupied Wuhu, was no longer involved in the attack on Nanjing because it was transferred to Hangzhou.

On December 12, from dawn, Japanese aircraft and artillery intensively bombarded the city gates, and the houses around the city wall collapsed and the city wall was opened. At 12 noon, Yuhuatai was occupied by the Japanese army, the second peak of the Purple Mountain fell, and the Zhonghua Gate and Zhongshan Gate were broken through by the Japanese army one after another. On December 12, Tang Shengzhi gave the order to break out and retreat, and the resistance of the Chinese army collapsed. On that day, Tanigawa, the head captain of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army, was preparing for a general attack outside the Zhonghua Gate in Nanjing.

The Japanese army launched a fierce attack on the Nanjing Fukuo position and the city wall in turn with the strength of five divisions, and around noon, under the heavy artillery bombardment of the Japanese army, the Japanese army broke through the Zhonghua Gate, and the 88th Division defending this place immediately withdrew. At this point, the fall of Nanjing was a foregone conclusion, and order in the city began to fall into chaos. The defenders of Nanking had begun to waver. The order for the Nationalist army to withdraw from Nanjing was only known to the top leaders of the garrison units, and the officers and soldiers defending the city below the top level were still kept in the dark, and all units were still caught in a bitter battle with the Japanese army.

Night finally came, Nanjing, which had been filled with war for a day, after nightfall, there were tracer bullets crossing the sky from time to time in the slightly quiet night sky, and there was the sound of cold guns and cold cannons. The street is sparsely populated, but there are still some young and strong civilians who gather under the plane trees at the bend of the street regardless of the danger and cold, I don't know whether they want to escape, or they are bold enough to dare to smash the door and break into the house under the shells, hoping to pick up a bargain All this has nothing to do with Zhuo Fei who is preparing, Hansen personally handled the knife and gave Zhuo Fei a haircut with a clipper according to Zhuo Fei's wishes. Zhuo Fei asked Hansen to use clippers to give himself a green skin head that was popular in his previous life, and touched the top of his head, which was similar to a bald head, Zhuo Fei seemed to have returned to the training camp in his previous life, and this familiar feeling made Zhuo Fei very satisfied. "Boss, did you really decide to take only the stones with you? I mean, Hefman's hand is pretty good. Hansen used a towel to help Zhuo Fei clean up the broken hair on his neck, and whispered.

Zhuo Fei just smiled, got up and stood by the window, looking out the window, Zhuo Fei's heart was full of bitterness. Although he had made so many preparations in advance and risked being discovered by the military commanders to distribute a large number of leaflets in the city, there were still at least about 400,000 people in the city of Nanjing who had not left. Thinking of this, Zhuo Fei couldn't help but smile bitterly, he had only counted the residents of Nanjing, but he had completely forgotten the refugees who fled to the city from the surrounding areas. These days, there are indeed a lot of people who have crossed the river from the Xiaguan Wharf, but there are also many refugees who have fled into the city with the rout, and it seems that their own strength is still very limited.

Zhuo Fei couldn't help but shake his head, but as a result, Han Sen took a sip of the wine glass handed over, and the wine went down, and Zhuo Fei suddenly felt a sense of pride in his chest. Nanjing, I'm with you. Little Japan, I'm here, I'm waiting for you here. After another sip of the wine in the cup, Zhuo Fei turned around and looked at Hansen, who was about to speak, and said with a smile, "Mr. Hansen, it's not that I don't believe what you just said, but I don't have the right to ask Hefman and them to risk their lives to fight with me against the Japanese army." If you stay here, as long as you protect the safe zone, you're helping me. ”

Since December 10, Rabe's proposed security zone has been established in the city of Nanjing, and the appearance of Zhuo Fei has slightly deviated from the original trajectory of history, originally when the invading Japanese army began to attack Nanjing, Rabe's residence in Nanjing, No. 1 Xiaofenqiao, Guangzhou Road, as one of the 25 international security zones in the Nanjing Security Zone to accommodate refugees, protected more than 600 refugees. As the chairman of the Nanjing International Security Zone, Rabe and other international friends have saved the lives of more than 250,000 Chinese in the less than 4 square kilometers of the Nanjing Security Zone in the less than 4 square kilometers of the security zone under his responsibility.

Now because of the emergence of Zhuo Fei, Rabe and others are no longer the original loose organization, with Hansen's participation and initiative, Rabe and others directly closed the area around Guangzhou Road, and the area controlled by the International Committee of the Nanjing Security Zone has also changed from the original 4 square kilometers to the current 7 square kilometers. The foreigners that Zhuo Fei asked Hansen to recruit now also came in handy, Hansen not only privately customized the German flag, but also got some German military uniforms from the German consulate, and after the German consulate evacuated Nanjing, Herfman and the others also put on German military uniforms and turned into German soldiers guarding the security zone.

With Zhuo Fei's advance arrangement, and Hansen's various proposals, on December 11 alone, more than 20,000 refugees gathered in the security zone, and these refugees, under the command of the committee, were not only busy building various facilities, but also sealing off the entire security zone with bricks and wood. The medicines and food that Zhuo Fei asked Han Sen to prepare in advance have also been moved out of the basement in a steady stream, and the vacated basement will be used as a secret place to house young women in the future.

On December 11, many parts of Nanjing's city defense were breached by the Japanese army, although there were still a large number of national army troops desperately resisting, but Zhuo Fei knew that at this time, many small Japanese troops had infiltrated into Nanjing. Zhuo Fei stayed in Nanjing, on the one hand, to save the innocent people who should have died at the gunpoint of the Japanese army, and on the other hand, to kill the Japanese soldiers and gain merit points. Every time 500 merit points are harvested, the light curtain can be upgraded once, and the Japanese army attacking Nanjing has 6 divisions and regiments, which will be a feast for Zhuo Fei to harvest merit points.

Zhuo Fei originally wanted to wait for the Japanese army to break through the city, and then look for an opportunity to find trouble for the Japanese army, but now, the city defense is in jeopardy, and most of the refugees in the city do not know about the establishment of the international safety zone, and these helpless refugees also need to be notified. The sound of gunfire outside the window came and went, although the density of guns was much weaker than during the day, but Zhuo Fei knew that there was not much time left for the refugees in the city.

Like Zhuo Fei, Zhuo Yan also had a green-skinned haircut, and seeing that Zhuo Fei was talking to Hansen, Zhuo Yan, who had always been silent, was equipping his body with weapons and ammunition with the help of Huffman. Zhuo Yan's reaction was slower than ordinary people, but his strength and endurance were incomparable to even Huffman, especially when he was able to run more than ten kilometers in one go under a weight of 20 kilograms.

Although Zhuo Fei has a personal baggage, Zhuo Fei's current personal baggage is only five spaces, and if he is loaded with ammunition, he will not be able to carry other items such as binoculars, water bottles and extra firearms. Besides, at some point, Zhuo Fei can't take ammunition from his baggage in front of outsiders, in a sense, Zhuo Yan is still a shield that Zhuo Fei uses to cover his baggage.

Mauser sniper rifles, Thomson submachine guns, Japanese-style 50mm grenadiers, and modified Mauser pistols are the weapons that Zhuo Fei used on this outing. Different weapons have non-stop caliber ammunition, although Zhuo Fei has carried a lot of ammunition in his baggage, Zhuo Yan still carries a lot of ammunition in his backpack and chest pocket.

After ending the conversation with Hansen, Zhuo Fei personally put on a steel helmet for Zhuo Yan, and helped Zhuo Yan carefully adjust the belt of the submachine gun to the best distance. "Stone, are you afraid?" asked Zhuo Yan with a smile, and what was waiting for Zhuo Yan was to shake his head without hesitation, and Zhuo Fei smiled. Carrying the Mauser rifle behind his back, and then hanging the Mauser pistol with the butt on the three-point gun belt, and taking Zhuo Yan out of the courtyard, Zhuo Fei turned around and stood solemnly and saluted Han Sen and the others.
