On December 1, the Japanese army captured the Jiangyin fortress, and the 10th Army, in accordance with the orders of the Front Army, deployed the 114th Division to attack and advance along the Liyang and Lishui highways to the south of Nanjing; The 6th Division also attacked and advanced in the direction of southern Nanjing along the Guangde and Honglanbu roads, following the 114th Division;

At the same time, another division of the Japanese army entered and occupied Taiping along the Guangde and Langxi roads, and then crossed the river to the vicinity of Pukou in a roundabout way, cutting off the northward retreat of the Nanjing defenders; The 18th Division attacked Wuhu through Xuancheng, cutting off the westward retreat of the Nanjing defenders.

The Japanese Central China Front, the Shanghai Dispatch Army, the Advance Wing of the 3rd Division, the 9th Division, the 16th Division, the 1st 1st Division, the 13rd Brigade, the 10th Army, the 6th Division, the 18th Division, the 114th Division, the 5th Division, and the 9th Brigade of the 5th Division surrounded the city of Nanjing.

The situation in China deteriorated day by day, and the defenders in Nanjing still insisted on resisting, but because of the loss of unified command, the soldiers who believed in death could only occupy the ruins and use bricks and tiles to fight back against the murderous Japanese army.

Although most of the Chinese government forces had left Nanjing, there were still a large number of stragglers trapped and became the last defenders of Nanjing.

In the face of the desperate resistance of the Chinese army and civilians, the Japanese army fell into an endless war of attrition. In order to change the stalemate, the Japanese began to try to use aircraft to distribute leaflets to coerce the soldiers and civilians in the city to surrender. However, the Chinese veterans who had the experience of the Songhu War knew very well that the Japanese had no credibility and would rather be jade than complete.

The sporadic fighting did not stop, and the Chinese soldiers had no choice but to withdraw while fighting in the face of more and more Japanese troops, and took advantage of the "Law on the Protection of Expatriates in China" signed by Japan and other countries in Berlin to temporarily obtain the protection of the church and institutions in China. However, the Japanese soon unilaterally tore up the agreement, and at the same time showed a ferocious butcher's knife to these overseas groups.

Earlier, when the Soviet-German border was tense, the Soviets were worried that the east and west sides would be attacked at the same time, so they immediately turned back and held secret talks with Huaxia.

In the eyes of the Soviets, as long as Chang Kaishen is willing to talk, the matter will be more than half successful, and even a carefree and stable environment in the Far East will soon be obtained. This is also the circle of friends that Eric wanted to set up at that time to surround the Soviet Union. However, the Chang Kaishen government, which was in the midst of internal and external troubles, had long been afraid of the enemy, and people suddenly came to the door to repair it, which made him immediately flattered, and without saying a word, he immediately sent personnel to Moscow to discuss the details.

More than three months ago, the Chinese government and representatives of the Soviet Union formally signed the "Sino-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact." However, while both countries signed the treaty, they were each playing their own small calculations. Huaxia did not want to get involved in the dispute between Germany and the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union did not want to enter into any military alliance with China when Japan launched a large-scale attack on China. In this way, apart from binding on each other's acts of war, a paper treaty does not have a relationship of mutual reinforcement.

Since there was no military alliance, the Soviet army did not fulfill its obligation to rescue, let alone send any reinforcements, and Huaxia was forced to fight alone.

In the Battle of Songhu, due to the unfavorable air battle and the obstruction of the land battle, the Japanese combined fleet approached Wusongkou and shelled the Shanghai South Railway Station, resulting in the loss of the lives and property of some foreign nationals. Under pressure from many countries, the battleship "Schlieffen" of the German East Asian Fleet opened fire on the Japanese Combined Fleet as a warning, and after several bargaining between the two sides, the Japanese navy reluctantly agreed to suspend the shelling of foreign overseas Chinese communities.

At this time, there was another scene in Nanjing during the Battle of Songhu, but this time the killing was more secret. The Japanese habitual "cutting down the grass and eradicating the roots" has the effect of destroying the evidence and blinding all the consciences of the world.

Although the Japanese did a relatively secretive job, there are still many historical records and photos that have flowed out of the cloudy China through the help of foreign friends, which have become powerful evidence for the settlement of Japan's war crimes in the future.

The ancient capital of Nanjing is full of ruins and broken walls, flames soaring into the sky, corpses are everywhere between the rubble, and rivers of blood are flowing, and this once rich place in the East has become a hell on earth in an instant. Many overseas Chinese from various countries who had not had time to flee suffered unprecedented economic losses and human sufferings at the same time, and they had no other choice but to stand with the Chinese and fight with the Japanese.

Compared with the desperate flight of many foreign nationals, reporters from various countries quietly infiltrated the city of Nanjing, and truly recorded the atrocities committed by the Japanese army in the city.

The city is broken, the heroes are down, and the next moment is the time for the civilians to suffer. The unarmed Nanjing people ushered in not coexistence and common prosperity, but blood and rain.

The atrocities of the Japanese once again aroused the public indignation of the people of the whole world, and the "Atlantic Combined Fleet" composed of the German East Asian Fleet and Britain, France, and the United States once again issued a warning to Japan and successfully covered the evacuation of the last group of its own expatriates from China. Since then, the German East Asian Fleet has completely withdrawn from China and returned to the Kuwaiti oil tanker terminal for rest and standby.

With a small cooperation in China, the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Italy, and other countries had an unprecedented "unity", and the United States, in particular, played a leading role in this operation, and even the arrogant John Bull had to respond positively.

However, the differences between the strong and the strong can never be unified, and for the sake of their own interests and demands, they still fight openly and secretly, even at the expense of using force.

Because they were hostile parties, the Soviet Union did not participate in the evacuation of overseas Chinese from China, and Britain, the United States, France, and other countries also cleaned up the snow in front of their own doors because the topic was too sensitive, and the contradictions between Germany and the Soviet Union were no longer raised.

On December 13, hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops poured into the city, which became the beginning of the nightmare of the Nanjing people......

At this moment, Chang Kaishen was busy moving the capital, fleeing from Wuxi to Wuhan, and from Wuhan to Chongqing, rushing all the way to the west under the pressure of the Japanese army, but he did not organize an effective resistance from beginning to end, and his descendants were busy fighting the civil war and eliminating dissent, but they were busy bending the law for bribes, and even the aid materials of the United States dared to swallow them privately.

Before and after the fall of Nanjing, most of the important organs of the Chinese authorities were busy with the relocation of government offices, which was actually an escape strategy, and they did not pay attention to the aftermath of the fall of Nanjing and the safety of the people. It has to be said that Chang Kaishen's high-profile statement of sticking to Nanjing made it impossible for the citizens of Nanjing to have a correct estimate of the state of the war, and it was impossible for them to have the corresponding material and psychological preparations after the defeat.

Around the time of the fall of Nanjing, large numbers of refugees flocked to the city's so-called International Security Zone, which had not been recognized by the Japanese because the Chinese authorities had not supported the International Security Zone enough. As a result, their security and livelihood assistance for refugees is extremely limited.

Eric's case of Huaxia was dissected at the Hanseasa Palace to all the officials of the Ministry of Defence, proving once again that the weak are being beaten. At the same time, he also talked about the reasons why he has repeatedly expanded his armaments and wars over the years.

The most educated were Chancellor Hans Luther and Max, already the country's foreign and economic adviser, both of whom were participants in the meeting.

Paul von Hindenburg was invited to every major meeting, but the elderly vice president did not seem to be confused, and although the country had gone through so many power struggles, it was surprising to find that the old man was like a tumbler, forever fixed there.

In fact, Hindenburg, who was usually not very careful, grasped a precondition, as long as it was for the long-term peace and stability of Germany, as long as it was beneficial to Germany, he preferred to abandon his position and firmly support Eric. And Eric also respected the old man very much, so that the military power of the various factions in Germany was firmly in his hands.

Now that the armed forces are in place, the war is on the horizon, the Germans need in addition to a "valid reason", and secondly, to constantly strengthen themselves.

The Spanish-Dutché government, which had been vacillating in the war, had received strong support from the United States and the Soviet Union, but this time it unexpectedly sent an envoy to Germany, which Eric did not expect.

After the meeting, Foreign Minister Niu Wright will greet the very strange foreign envoy with Max.

At a time when Germany needs friends, the Spanish Jose government's approach has undoubtedly added points to its own ruling team, which is clearly different from Chang Kaishen in China.
