He Jianye stepped into the division headquarters and found that in addition to the division commander and chief of staff Ruan Yongqi, there was also a doctor wearing a white coat and being polite......

"Commander, are you looking for me?" He Jianye asked worriedly,

"Well, this is Professor Chen from our divisional field hospital, and it is the Dinghai Shen Needle from our divisional field hospital! You can rest assured that you have brought back a large number of wounded from Suzhou and Nanjing, that the personnel and facilities of the divisional field hospital have been transported to Hankou, and you will be able to send the wounded over tomorrow when the place is ready. Li Yutang said,

"Great, Professor Chen, where will I send the wounded tomorrow? You don't know! When these wounded arrived in Hankou, they were about to die of sorrow, but fortunately, Professor Chen, you arrived! He Jianye said happily,

"Young man, according to your mess, it's okay that the wounded don't die on the road; You can send it tomorrow! This is the address ......" Professor Chen didn't bother to explain, and directly handed He Jianye a map of the route and place names, and asked He Jianye to find it by himself tomorrow.......

"Master Li, I'll go back to the hospital first if I have nothing else to do, there are still a lot of things to be busy over there." After Professor Chen finished speaking, he politely said hello and left the division......

"He Jianye, this has solved the problem of your wounded soldiers, you have to train your soldiers well! Those soldiers of yours are all veterans, they have been trained well, and they have learned the experience of the Battle of Songhu, so they will have to be ten in the future! Li Yutang paused here as he spoke, and then said,

"There will be 3,000 recruits the day after tomorrow, so that the personnel of our division will finally be replenished; I told you in advance, I don't have your share, if you want it, you can exchange it for a veteran. Li Yutang said,

"Division commander, no, now that the problem of wounded soldiers has been solved, I am very grateful to the division commander; My current focus now is to train the existing soldiers of our regiment. Then the division commander, I'll leave first if it's okay! I'll go back and continue training! He Jianye said,

"Let's go back!" Li Yutang said,

He Jianye returned to the 16th Regiment, and immediately the platoon baggage company and guard company were responsible for the transfer of all the wounded tomorrow, and notified Dr. Xiao Zhu......

He Jianye supervised and observed the training status of the troops four times a day, and led the team to train the special operations knowledge of the guard company, and strengthened the joint training tactics of the squad......

He Jianye, who was in Hankou and was in Nanjing, turned on the radio every day and watched the war briefings on the radio.......

On November 19, 1937, Changshu, Suzhou, and Jiaxing fell one after another, the Wufu line was broken, and the Chinese army retreated to the Xicheng line; The Japanese devils slaughtered countless Chinese people along the way......

On November 27, Wuxi was lost, and the Japanese army captured Wuxing on November 28, and the Xicheng line was broken through. On December 1, Jiangyin fell......

On December 6, the Japanese army attacking Nanjing had reached the outlying positions of Qixia Mountain, Tangshan, Chunhua, and Moling. On the morning of the 9th, the Japanese army launched a general attack, and after the 16th Division captured Qilinmen and Baishui Bridge, it joined up with the 9th Division and attacked Ma Qun and Xiaolingwei; After the 6th Division occupied Niushou Mountain, the main force advanced towards Zhonghua Gate; After occupying the Dajiaochang airfield, the 9th Division advanced to Guanghuamen, Tongjimen, and Zhonghua Gates.

The strategic points on the periphery of Nanjing fell one after another. Soon the Japanese broke through the first-line defensive positions on the outskirts of Nanjing. On December 9, the Japanese army entered the city of Nanjing, and used planes to throw an ultimatum from the commander of the Japanese "Central China Front" Matsui Ishine to the Chinese defenders to persuade them to surrender. Tang Shengzhi, commander of the Nanjing garrison, ignored Matsui's ultimatum and issued an order on the same day as "Wei Shen Zuo Zi No. 36" in reply. The content reads: "The current occupation of the Fukuo position by this army is the final battle to hold Nanjing, and all units should do their best to hold on to it with the determination to live and die with the position, and must not lightly abandon an inch of land or shake the whole army. (2) All ships acquired by the armies shall be handed over to the Transport Command for safekeeping, and they shall not be detained without permission, and Song Xilian, commander of the 78th Army, shall be assigned to take charge of the command. Along the river, the constitution and the police strictly prohibit stragglers from crossing the river by boat without permission, and violators will be arrested and severely punished. If you dare to resist, stop it by force. Trying to fight to the death in the spirit of "breaking the kettle and sinking the boat".

He Jianye, who was listening to the radio at the headquarters, scolded, "I'll fuck your ancestors, Tang Shengzhi, why are the people innocent?" Why order the detention of ships and transport more civilians out, isn't it? Labor and management depend on how you fight to the death? ”

However, the trend of the battle situation did not depend on He Jianye's will, and no one listened to him when he was a lowly official...... After sending several telegrams asking the division commander to let him go to Nanjing, He Jianye gave up......

On December 10, 1937, seeing that the Chinese army refused to surrender, the Japanese army launched a full-scale attack on Yuhuatai, Tongjimen, Guanghuamen, and the 3rd peak of Purple Mountain, and the battle was more fierce than on the 9th.

On December 13, 1937, Nanjing fell, and Tang Shengzhi of the Nanjing Garrison Headquarters led the officers to retreat first on December 12......

In addition to the eight officers above the rank of major general of the Nationalist Army and tens of thousands of loyal and brave soldiers who died in Nanjing, Tang Shengzhi threw more than 50,000 Chinese soldiers and nearly 30 people to the murderous Japanese brutes......

From December 13, 1937, the commander of the Central China Front, Matsui Ishone, ordered "discipline and correction of prisoners of war (massacre of prisoners of war)". After the Japanese 16th Division occupied Purple Mountain, more than 10,000 enemy soldiers were captured and asked for instructions from the division's staff officer, Mitsuo Nakazawa, and after confirmation by the chief of staff, he ordered all the prisoners to be killed......

Not only that, the invading Japanese army carried out a six-week organized, planned, and premeditated massacre in Nanjing and nearby areas, such as prostitution, arson, robbery, and other bloody atrocities, in which a large number of civilians and prisoners of war were killed by the Japanese army, countless families were torn apart, and the number of victims of the Nanjing Massacre exceeded 300,000.

On the evening of December 15, He Jianye sat alone on the playground, prepared a large amount of paper money, and wept bitterly while paying tribute to the slaughtered soldiers and civilians in the direction of Nanjing......

"Incompetent! How can there be such a garrison commander! First self-extinguished, as a broken kettle and sinking boat; You have the ability to be Xiang Yu again! It is impossible to do it, and there is no determination of Xiang Yu not to see Jiangdong's father, so he slipped away...... Pity those soldiers and civilians who were trapped in Nanjing by you! ”

On December 16, before the start of the training of the 16th Regiment, He Jianye stood in front of the playground and shouted to the officers and soldiers in a hoarse voice,

"Brothers, when Nanjing fell on the 13th, the Japanese devils began to massacre our soldiers and civilians in Nanjing, and showed no mercy to the officers and soldiers who laid down their arms and surrendered and the unarmed people...... We have more than 50,000 national troops in Nanjing! Hundreds of thousands of ordinary people! Now it must still be slaughtered by the Japanese, you say, what should I do if there is such a deep hatred in the sea of blood? ”

"Swear to resist Japan to the death and never surrender; Resist to the end! More than 5,000 officers and soldiers shouted in unison under the leadership of Leng Qi,

"Brothers, I hereby swear by He Jianye; From today on, the Japanese that my He Jianye's soldiers met on the battlefield, who wants to show mercy to my subordinates and take prisoners back, you get out of my troops! Labor and management do not take prisoners, you remember: the best Japanese are the dead Japanese. Do you understand? He Jianye roared,

"Understood! Kill the devil! The officers and men of the 16th Regiment shouted in tears......
